Thanks for the update Beth.I am so glad that the jury gave her life plus 25 yrs for the attempted murder of her 7 yr old.
Her 7 yr olds testimony is i believe what won the case for the prosecution.I dont care what her husband says .if her husband knew she had these type of mental problems then he is just as much to blame for allowing her alone ... See Morewith the kids.also he could have had her committed by taking it to court. but he didnt do that either . she had sought care in yrs.dont use this excuse just because youve seen a shrink int he oast
i just hope and pray that the father doesnt take the verdict n sentencing out on the little boy he has been through enough.

Beth, Happy Holidays! I'm a teacher and will be off this coming week. I was looking forward to watching In Session. But, according to my TV guide, it looks like there won't be any court/trial coverage this week. What's up? Thanks!

could have been the Easter Bunny, or Shrek too.

The meter reader didnt do it. Casey is the guilty one who killed little Caylee !

Richard, how true, how could the husband have not steped in & gotten her the help she needs. What was he thinking, where is his rational. If he would have gotten her some psychiatric help, maybe this wouldn't have happened, she had previous attempts. What happened was so horrible, poor little children, I just hope she does get some psychiatric care... See More in jail. I don't envey the jury on this one, I think they made the right decision though. I hope people look at this case & take notice, so maybe if someone out there needs help, the people around them will recognize it, to avert another senseless tragedy. Thanks Beth for always guiding us laymen through the judicial procedings, you're fabulous.

Is there any way we can get to see the Verdict form. Can CNN or IN SESSION or TRU TV post it on their website. I am interested to see if the Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity was on the verdict form for the jury to deliberate. If you can post it on your facebook page will be very appreciate. thanks.

where do we find the in sessions facebook page?

I don't think there is a facebook page specifically for InSession. If so, I haven't found it.

Sorry! Found one. Don't know if this is run by the network, or not.

I watch in session every day ..they talk about comments to their facebook page but never catch the name of the page lol I don't think the one u posted is the right one only 250 fans..but thank you for looking :)

I believe each host has their own page,beings they are about to change hosts...I don't know what good it would do to become friends with Ashleigh,Jack,or Jami for news about cases.

Hey Lori, I just typed in Beth Karas InSession on facebook and it took me right to her fb page. Most of the others like Ashleigh, jack and jami you need to reach through cnn and join them on fb through cnn.com

thanks !

I'm sorry, she tried to commit suicide drinking what??? sounds like they are saying "tea" ????

Thanks for the updates. This is a very troubling case. Killing your children is just wrong. The old "criminally insane" excuse is getting old in these type of murders.

Beth if it wasn't for you and Jean, In Session would not be worth watching you two make such great reporting that the public gets to see the trials through your expertise as lawyers. It is much appreciated by the viewers that your reporting is without your own personal views .

Judy, I think what they are saying is "heat" which is the name of an automotive product that you dump in your tank in the winter to keep the gas line from freezing up. Not sure of the chemical makeup but I'm sure it wouldn't be good for you.

I forgot to tell you that i loved the pictures you posted of your vacation in Germany....It brought back many great memories for me as i have been to many of the places you visited.......The Germans are FUN FUN FUN.......
Any excuse for a party !

What a truly sad case this is. I think someone should haved helped the mum long ago, perhaps none of this would have happened. She does seem to have long deep seated mental illness. I know the insanity defense is often overused but in this case, it's probably true. Just a horrible chain of events which led to tragedy. Thank you beth for your expert coverage, you are always a vision, My best to you gorgeous.

Enjoyed your vacation pictures. One of my best friends is from Germany. You have an exciting life. And so many distinguished friends. Enjoy, you work hard.

Beth,
Can you please tell us the jury's reaction, if any, to the autopsy photos of little Seth?? I see the Michelle had little to no reaction to the photos, is that correct? Did the jury show any reaction to them? Thanks for your great work!!

Are there any other family members in the courtroom to support her? I know her husband is there from your reprting, but are there any others? Thanks for the great coverage!! What was it she drank to commit suicide? It sounds like HEAT?? WHat is it?

Beth, I was wondering if it was just me, or did I see Michelle's attorney give her a pill or something that she put in her mouth. I believe I saw that two times!!! Watch you all the time and love how you bring us all your knowledge and commentary.

Thank you so much Beth. Seems like the look on her face would take muscles to do that. Would an upper lip be able to do that naturally? Almost a pout.

She is a troubled woman. Suicide does not mean mentally insane, was there enough documentation from the past ten years to prove mental ill-health, other than suicide and PRIOR to the killing?

I appreciate you so much!

Are they not airing this trial, because in November InSession moves to Atlanta, what channel will the trial coverage be shown, TruTv or HLN ??? Beth you're fans will follow you anywhere, wishing you the best in the new organization. You will shine like the perfect diamond you are gorgeous Beth.

What will happen to our favorites like you and Jamie Floyd if In Session move to ATL? The network has been deteriorating for quite a while, but I still like to watch you.

I understand the accused killer himself declined to go. I can only imagine why.

Even though there is some complexity to this case, Mr Darling clearly is among those responsible for the poor child's death. Even if you have the right to self defense in Florida , little Sherdavia was surely an innocent bystander. Who sits about in their home with an AK-47 on thier lap anyway, nobody I know of?? What is this Scarface?? He should ... See Morehave plead guilty. Does he feel no remorse at all?? A liittle 9 year old dying in her mum's arms, is just an irreparable loss. Thank you once again beautiful Beth Karas, thoroughly researched with your illuminating insight, holding a mirror up to decline of civilized civilization, painful yet true in it's portrait of the present.

Thanks, Beth.

I looked on the Florida Corrections website to check what Javaris Andrews was in prison for . 2nd degree murder , about a month after this one. Looks like he did a whole 14 months for that. If I'm Leroy Larose, I have to wonder why I was treated so harshly by the justice system. The Florida Justice system is broke and needs fixing. I have a friend that was popped with an ounce of pot and he gets 7 years.

I think imposing a stiff penalty on the defendant for an accidental shooting of the little girl will not do justice to the victim's family. also, the fact that one guy is getting seven years in prison and the second guy may get life in prison, when they are clearly equally guilty, will only complicate the live of the family of the victim. I wonder ... See Morehow the victim's family feel about it. I wonder how the community feel about the sweet deal that Leroy Larose got in compare to the life sentence that Damon Darling may get.

I think it will be manslaughter. The people on the jury might live in the "projects" and are sadly used to this.
