In October 1995, a week after the murder trial against him ended with a shocking not-guilty verdict, O.J. Simpson agreed to do a TV interview with NBC News. Then, only hours before the live sit-down, Simpson backed out. Now TMZ is reporting that Casey Anthony, whose trial over the murder of her daughter garnered media attention of the size of Simpson’s and her recent not-guilty verdict sparked a similar outcry, has too opted not to do a TV interview right away. That despite the fact that her lawyer had been negotiating with potential suitors for the past two weeks. Those negotiations were plagued by accusations of bidding by the networks’ TV divisions, prompting most of them to issue statements that they won’t pay for an interview with Anthony. You can’t blame the networks for going after Anthony — notoriety is a big audience draw. Barbara Walters’ 1999 interview with Monica Lewinsky was seen by 74 million viewers, a record for a journalist’s interview. NBC News’ 1995 interview with Simpson had been projected to fetch Super Bowl-size audience of 90+ million.
I think Anthony is making the right decision by following Simpson’s example and opting to stay out of the limelight while emotions over her verdict are still so raw despite the temptation of a financial windfall. As one independent producer, who recently claimed he had offered Anthony $1 million for an interview, put it, “the one thing I explained to her was, ‘Remember, fame is fleeting, but infamy is even more fleeting,’ and I said, ‘Look, in six weeks you’ll be worth $100,000, not a million dollars.’ I was trying to explain that we’ve got to do it now.” In 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the murder of Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her boyfriend Ronald Goldman, NBC finally got its interview with the former football star. The ratings were not even remotely close to Super Bowl levels. As for potential suitors in the future, before Anthony’s trial, Oprah Winfrey, who is launching a new talk show on OWN next year, said that her dream is to have Simpson confess to her. She has now probably added Anthony to her wish list.

HOW TO CHOOSE A JURY FOR THE DEFENCE: YOU GO TO ST. PETERSBURG AND CALL ALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER. GIVE EACH A SIMPLE PUZZLE TO PUT TOGETHER YET REMOVE ONE PIECE FROM THE PUZZLE. LET THEM PUT TOGETHER THE PUZZLE AND THE ONES THAT CAN NOT TELL YOU WHAT THE PICTURE IS WITH THAT ONE PIECE MISSING ARE YOUR JURY. OH!!!!! AND DO NOT ASK THEM TO BABY SIT. THEY WONT FEEL RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOUR CHILD.
Nice try but before you go spouting off and making a total fool out of yourself get the facts straight…The jury was not picked in St. Petersburg…it was selected in Clearwater. Just goes to show how much you know about NOTHING. And, yet you make a total fool out of yourself to the entire world.
Either because you’re too anal, or because you lack the skill to comprehend a point, you’re comment demonstrates why you tagged it Anonymous. It was stupid. Good point daddyfrank!
Just take it all off honey, show us what you’re working with.
Dear Juror: Let us say I were to babysit for you while you were on vacation and you were gone for a month. When you get back you find I do not have your child. You ask around and everyone tells you that I haven’t had your child yet I told everyone that your child was at the beach with friends. You get worried but I tell you that I just spoke with your child that day and everything is ok. You don’t believe me so you call the cops and they find that I have been lieing to everyone about your child. I wont tell you where your child is nor will I tell you why I do not have your child. QUESTION: SHOULD I BE HELD BY THE LAW OR SHOULD THEY IGNORE THE FACT THAT I WAS THE LAST SEEN WITH YOUR CHILD….(I COULD RUN AWAY IF THEY DON’T HOLD ME.)
So after several months they find you child dead dumped in a swamp in garbage bags and duct tape over your childs mouth.
Everyone trys to get me to explain why the child was dead and/or why the child was not still in my care.
NEXT QUESTION: SHOULD I BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY OR SHOULD I BE ALLOWED TO GO ABOUT MY BUSINESS MEVER TELLING ANYONE WHY YOUR CHILD WAS OUT OF MY CARE AND DIED WHILE YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY CARE?
LET’S SAY I DID NOT KILL YOUR CHILD. WOULD I BE AN ASSESSORY TO A CRIME? COULD I BE CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT SINCE YOUR CHILD WAS IN MY CARE? COULD I BE CHARGED WITH CHILD ENDANGERMENT FOR LETTING YOUR CHILD WALK AROUND IN THAT SWAMP WITH DUCK TAPE OVER HER MOUTH AND GARBAGE BAGS OVER HER HEAD.
MAYBE WE JUST SAY WHAT THE FXXX. LETS ALL LET ME GO AND WE ALL GO HOME. SHOULD NO ONE BE RESPONSIBLE.
REMEMBER………………….it’s just your KID.
Dude, she got away with it. Get over it. Things are only going to continue to get worse. Welcome to America.
You are DEAD ON CORRECT> But, forgot to mention the trunk of the car smelling like decomposition.
Something was very wrong with the jury. When we heard Biaz’s opening and closing statements at my house, we laughed and bent over in dis-belief at how stupid it was. Just LIES. The jury somehow got hypnotized or something…… something wrong from the get go with the jury. They had their minds made up from the beginning. they did not go over any evidence. As you said if it had been their child — one + one would have equaled two. Not four. Something very wrong and everyone knows it. I wonder how they feel now knowing that she is in private jets, fancy hotels, bills being paid by who the hell knows for a privileged life. Jose, ‘hawking’ her like a circus side show, Mason, financially contributing. Most ex-cons leave prison with a bus ticket if lucky. What is the REAL DEAL HERE?
No it seems that the only ones that already had their minds made up are the mobs and the media.They did their jobs correctly and didn’t give a damn what the general public wanted which is how it should be.You just don’t realize how much contempt I have for people like you.You don’t get to choose who is guilty and not guilty,so deal with it.
ok, freak
I remember watching the Monica Lewinski interview. She did not murder anyone. Much of the country is convinced that Anthony murdered her daughter and do want to see her profit from this. There are the oddball hormonally-challenged young males who are her cheerleaders but otherwise, people ignore her, dismiss her or hate her….not much of an audience if you ask me.
Totally disagree. Because of the hatred, any interview she does will be watched by most of this country.
Despite the fact that I wish what you said was true, it isn’t.
this is a fucking joke. i will like for this to stop. u just making a joke about a little
she shoulda done it right after the trial. the longer she waits, the less $ she will get.
I must admit that the circus atmosphere MAY compel me to watch this repulsive, hideous example of humanity. should she get an interview. But ……..like sex with a whore, I’ll never admit it, I’ll need a shower afterward and promise never to see her (the network) again!!
I’m looking forward to Casey Anthony’s book following O.J.’s example, “If I Killed Cayley”.
Why don’t they understand we don’t want to hear from her at all even if they don’t pay. Besides the fact I think they would pay the BITCH. Why listen to a bunch of lies.
In your heart of hearts, in the dark corners of your soul, you DO want to hear from her. The very fact that you are here commenting is proof of that.
I vote that 800K people pitch in $1 & we buy Monster Mom, her gravy train riders, George & Cindy the ghost town in Scenic, SD that is up for sale. The price tag is a mere $800K. There would be stipulations that the crew could NEVER leave, they could not do anything to bring attention from ANY NETWORK, they would have to agree to “fade into the sunset, never to be heard from again’. It currently has only 8 citizens living there, but hey with $800K, they could find a new place to live. There is a working gas station grocery store & 2 JAILS! They could live like the Amish & AVOID having their pics made or being in the “public eye” for attention. Let me know what you think! :0)
This just in: OJ is going to interview Casey right before they join the panel on the Liars Club game show.
Casey Anthony – HIDE YO KIDS
O.J. Simpson – HIDE YO WIFE
http://tosh.comedycentral.com/blog/2011/07/06/what-the-internet-is-saying-about-the-casey-anthony-verdict/
Remember people. BOYCOTT anything ANTHONY!!! Do not let this CONVICTED FELON,PATHOLOGICAL LYING, SOCIOPATHIC, NARCISSTIC, MURDEROUS MOMSTER CASEY ANTHONY profit from the murdering of her sweet 2 year old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. While you are at it, don’t buy anything plugged by SINdy or Georgette or Laughing Boy Lee Anthony. They all lied and covered up for this POS of a human being. The Orlando Sentinel got a pic of the so called grieving grandma SINdy smirking when the verdict was read. SINdy and her CONVICTED FELON, PATHOLOGICAL LYING, SOCIOPATHIC, NARCISSTIC, MURDEROUS DAUGHTER CASEY ANTHONY have the same smirk. Chilling, ain’t it. Don’t let this entire family profit off of this sweet 2 year old girl. SINdy and Georgette recently turned down $250K for an interview, not because of morals, but because the price wasn’t high enough. Totally disgusting!!!!
First show the pics you have of Casey murdering her child.Don’t have any? Ok then give me your eyewitness interview of the murder?Oh you weren’t there?So you are blowing smoke out your butt and know nothing? Well why didn’t you say so?
Thank you for your post, Nellie Andreeva.
Yes, Casey Anthony must make a living. She has the right to sell her story.
But I have the right to boycott her. So do you. So does everyone.
We can’t stop Casey from cashing in on the death of her child. But she’ll have to do it without our help!
Also, if we’re pointing out parallels between the Casey Anthony story and the big murder case of the 1990s, the prognosis for her isn’t good. Where’s O. J. nowadays?
Leading up to his conviction for attempting to steal sports memorabilia, he was living the high life and playing golf in Florida.
I get what your attempt here was, but it’s a pretty poor example. Basically, Casey Anthony is in a position to be set for life. All she has to do now is keep her nose clean — and that’s where OJ went wrong.
Just show how sick the entertainment biz has gotten. The fact that this child murderer is even being discussed demonstrates how far we have fallen as a country. The almighty buck. The bottom line. Shameful. And to the TV exec who pleaded with CA to do the interview now instead of six weeks from now all I have to say is take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize what the TV biz has turned you in to. Make a deal with Satan and get a promotion? Disgusting
We live in a moral-less society that puts the rights of the victim below the rights of the criminal, where we’re more concerned with our own pocketbooks over the well being of our country and where a “free to do what you want” Right is flushing us down the toilet with the help of Pro-whatever groups and attorneys looking for their cut.
No one cares and it is only getting worse. Welcome to the end…
First off she is not a child murderer,and you don’t know nothing that anyone else doesn’t know,unless you have a 1st hand account of what happened,which you don’t.Second I’m sure you didn’t mind the media turning this local story into a national event and making Casey a household name.Thats because you were entertained by the fact that you just knew she was gonna get the death penalty.Whoops!Not Guilty!Now you wanna blame the media for what?For entertaining you until the ending didn’t end like you wanted.Too bad.So sad.
Is the above post Casey talking from her hiding place? It could only be her with that opinion. Unless, it is a person from another planet ***
What don’t some of you guys get?? In America, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That applies to you, me, Casey Anthony and everyone else, and that’s the way it should be.
We know the girl is dead. It sure looks like Casey had something to do with something, but we don’t know what and the prosecutors never told and proved us what it was. They couldn’t even conclusively prove how Caley died!
You can’t just convict someone because you have a gut feeling that they did something wrong, especially when it’s a murder charge.
It sucks what happened, but the system worked the way it was supposed to. If you want to be mad at someone, get angry at the prosecutors for doing a lousy job, don’t get mad at a woman who was and remains legally innocent.
Thank you for being the voice of reason.
Well put.
I get what you’re saying but to me… decomposition in the trunk of her car isn’t a gut feeling.
As for the rest of it… I don’t really care. I’m just as sick of Nancy Grace (hell everyone on HLN) making millions off the death of the child as I will be when Casey does, and she will… someone will pay and people will watch… and they’ll all condemn the entire situation while they break down and replay every second of the interview over and over a thousand times.
I see all this comparison to oj, and while they were both obviously guilty, were acquitted, but oj was a famous “charismatic” football player, casey on the other hand, her claim to fame is killing her daughter and lying through her teeth. I don’t see any interest in watching her.
She also killed a baby, which is different from oj.
I don’t see any interest in her interview.
Oj did an interview after a while, and nobody watched, right? His book was a fiasco.
BTW Caseys attorney Baez ia basking in the limelight, but he should call up Robert Shapiro…..see how it went for him.
i don’t believe all those offers
Just because someone was found guilty in the court of law, does not mean they cannot be convicted in the court of public opinion!!
Then its a good thing the court of public opinion doesn’t have power to do crap.
To anonymous:
Casey Anthony was found not guilty by 12 moronic people. Legally, that does not mean she is innocent, just that the prosecution did not prove it’s case. In technicality, the verdict sheet should read “proven” or “not proven” and the jurors should check the box that applies. It was found “not proven” that she killed her daughter, not found that she was innocent. Although I am sure the DUH-fense team and her mother and dad when they get enough $$ to talk, will put a spin on it that she was found innocent. But that will be a lie, something that the Anthony family and DUH-fense team do especially well.
To Razzy. Thats not how our system works.Innocent until proven guilty means exactly that.We have no “proven or not proven”.Since she was found NOT GUILTY that means she is innocent according to our laws.
Unfortunately, we all dislike this woman who has changed everyone’s life that she was involved with. And is causing the judicial system to change laws, but fact is we all will watch this horrendous person when she finally does her interview. I really wish the media would not do a interview so we all just would forget about her. The sooner she is not noticed the sooner she will be back where she belongs.
There will always be those people who cannot grasp the function and seriousness of jury duty. They usually end up as squealing mobs spouting nonsense. Ready to substitute mob mentality and speculation for the very hard work of determining whether a defendant has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty.
This case had a serious lack of evidence – despite all the rumors and false statements about evidence that, in fact, never did exist. If there was evidence then the prosecution did a piss poor job in finding it or proving it. Even the proffered evidence offered up by the prosecution was pretty much destroyed once cross examination was done by the defense – which some people love to deride in a rather insultingly class conscious way.
The prosecution’s so called expert witnesses were anything but and relied on obviously unproven and even disproved scientific theories. Once the prosecution starts to insult the jury by offering such bogus evidence, that prosecution quickly loses the confidence of a jury and it becomes almost impossible to believe with the certainly required anything else they offer.
When your case is as weak as this one was it takes little time to spot all the holes. It only takes one hole, one missing piece of evidence to find reasonable doubt – this case had a mass of them.
This jury did a very good job in the face of incredible pressure and the disgraceful lynch mob mentality goaded by irresponsbile members of the press. I’d love to see Nancy Grace have to answer to Bar Counsel for her behavior during this case and her abuse of the system. Lawyers have a Professional Code of Responsibility which governs their behavior even when it is not related to one of their own cases. Bu then it wouldn’t be the first or even the second time Grace’s ethics have been condemned.
SHE DEFINETELY IS GUILTY OF SOMETHING.
not surprised casey has maybe backed out of talking for now for one she figures she can when she wants to finaly talk get a better deal and two if she talks now she knows the interviewer will ask her exactly in her own words what happen to callie. and casey does not want that to happen.
why, why, why, would you reward negative behaviour? at the very least, stand up and I say,” I loved my child”! nuff said
