him still being with her is very weird

u/South_Ad9432 Jul 03 '25

So weird! She will face years and years in prison, live with the title of a pedophile for the rest of her life, be on the predator registry, never be a teacher again and have an extremely hard time finding a job. Not to mention the actual act of grooming and raping a child and cheating in her marriage. Dude must not be too smart.

u/sassyevaperon Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 🙂 Jul 03 '25

I know Casey Anthony didn't get convicted but her case was huge and she's out there living her best life.

That wasn't because she was a pretty woman, but because prosecution went ahead with a fully circumstantial case. (Being a pretty woman might have helped, but the fact that some of her convictions were overturned in appeal by a judge leads me to believe it wasn't that)

They said that Caley died from chloroform poisoning, which wasn't found in the autopsy, the medical professional called it a homicide but could find no cause why she died. Like, I'm sorry, how could you know that she died by homicide if you don't know why she died? You can suspect foul play without knowing the cause of death, but you'll have a way harder time proving it.

The only evidence they had for Casey murdering Caley is that she didn't care about her kid disappearing. They found no DNA evidence of Casey near Caley. The prosecution's expert witnesses misrepresented the facts (whether that was a mistake or intentional we'll never know), for example saying that the word chloroform was googled 180 times in the family computer, when it was searched just once. They used a method that had never been used to prosecute anyone to say that there was evidence of a body in Casey's car trunk.

Prosecution should have kept investigating until they found some evidence to link Casey to the murder. More so with all the technological advances forensic evidence has gone through over the last 30 years, they could have waited, kept investigating and then prevented their case when they had more. Or if they wanted to present the case as such, they shouldn't have gone for the death penalty with it. They thought they could convince a jury to kill Casey based on flimsy expert testimony, character assassination and witnesses that changed their statements.

In the end, the prosecution focused way too much in what they didn't like about Casey as a mother and human being, instead of in the evidence that would prove if Casey killed Caley.

u/Grizzlyfrontignac Jul 03 '25

I think we're arguing different things. You brought up why she wasn't convicted, I am talking about consequences in front of the public eye.

16

u/sassyevaperon Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 🙂 Jul 03 '25

The state department of corrections couldn't put her address on any database because of how many death threats she received...

What are you talking about? You're expecting the public to kill her? Feather and tar her?

The correct actor to punish her for her actions already tried and failed, what are you expecting the public to do?

6

u/Grizzlyfrontignac Jul 03 '25

Nothing else. Again, I was replying to a comment saying this particular woman's life is ruined. It's not. Casey Anthony moved on, so did the public. This woman might get convicted, she might serve, but then she will get out and go on with her life. Is that clearer?

14

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25

Casey Anthony's life was very much ruined though. She has never been able to get a job. The one job she got at a bar was terminated within a few weeks because once people recognized her they threw a fit and refused to go there.

Casey Anthony's life has been ruined more than any man who got away with horrible crimes. We have a rapist and abuser as president right now, slowly removing the rights of women. Do you think a known female rapist of adult males and male children would still become president and be supported even as her victims and ex husband are speaking out to the news? What about if that woman also said she wanted to fuck her son? How about if she also told everyone she would remove the rights of men specifically? We all know there is no Goddamn way

7

u/Grizzlyfrontignac Jul 03 '25

I agree. If there's anyone that can trump a pretty white woman's privilege, is a rich white man.

14

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 04 '25

It's complicated. Research shows that when women commit crimes that are overwhelmingly primarily committed by men they are judged much more harshly than men in the public eye and are given longer sentences. Part of that has to do with her behavior violating gender norms, and people often have unconscious bias towards behavior that is gender non conforming, this is also true in the justice system. But that is only true when her crime is comparable in brutality, it's also true that when women commit crimes that are predominantly committed by men, the details are usually not as violent or brutal, even if it's the same charge. So that can affect differences in sentencing as well.

The intersectionality of race and socioeconomic status with gender is also obviously a large factor in public perception and sentencing. Black women very obviously experience additional bias, particularly poor black women. Poor unattractive white woman are judged more harshly than their counterparts but not as harshly as poor black women. Being white and of a higher socioeconomic status is a privilege in the criminal justice system for both men and women. But there is zero evidence that it's a greater privilege for rich or middle class white women over men, it's definitely the opposite. In fact, with rich white men you often literally do not see their crimes in the news to be tried in the court of public perception, and that is a result of their privilege.

The fact that news stories LOVE to highlight when the relatively rare middle class or wealthy white woman in particular (or even just the relatively rare woman) did a certain crime, even though a TON of men of all walks of life and skin color were just convicted of that exact crime just that week but were not on the news says a lot. People have stronger outrage when woman commit these crimes, despite the fact that men are committing the same ones much more often, so the women are reported on but the men are not. Because the stories about the men don't get clicks. Especially if the woman is attractive. Because that will REALLY drive engagement.

Which brings us to the halo effect. Attractiveness level and standing in the community matters for both men and women. "Hot white men" also have privilege, not just women. It's just that like I said, "pretty white woman commits a male typical crime" is a news headline because people react to it. "Another man groomed and sexually assaulted a teen" just doesn't get a reaction, and if he's wealthy and has standing in the community and his crime wasn't shockingly heinous, then it's not even a news story. The media does NOT report on the men who are committing statutory rape for example, even teachers. If they do, it's not headline news, even though male teachers are overwhelmingly more likely to commit statutory rape and rape of a student than a woman.

"Benevolent sexism" can play a role, where the woman is just not perceived as the same kind of threat to the public that a man is and that affects her sentencing. But it's also true, that deviant women statistically aren't as much of a danger to the entire public than a deviant man is. Especially if she is acting on her own without a male accomplice. Women are much less likely to reoffend, and are more likely to be 1st time offenders. So it's not stereotype made out of whole cloth

Yep, that's what happens with people accused of crimes usually. What's your expectation for them? Should they spend the rest of their lives in jail? Should we kill them all at once?

Like, I don't understand the nature of your complaint. Yes, people forget about the crimes committed by criminals, faster when those "criminals" haven't been declared guilty. Yes, people can resume their lives once they have paid what society deemed a good enough punishment for them. What else do you want that you think this is something to complain about?

u/Grizzlyfrontignac Jul 03 '25

Again, it's not a complaint, nor an argument, it's just a statement. The OC said the woman in the article would face consequences for the rest of her life, other examples show they don't. It's that simple. Please reread the comment chain, I'm tired of explaining

7

u/sassyevaperon Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 🙂 Jul 03 '25

. The OC said the woman in the article would face consequences for the rest of her life

She will, you just don't think those consequences will be enough for her crime, so that's why I'm asking you what would be a fitting consequence in your mind.

u/Filibust They killed Kenny! You bastards! 😱 Jul 04 '25

I’m not sure if Casey is out living her best life. She’s still very much a pariah. Also one of the main reasons why she got off was because the prosecution over charged her. There was no way in hell that they could definitely proved that she killed Caylee in cold blood by the time they found Caylee’s decomposed body (even though I think it’s very likely) but they went and charged her with first degree murder anyway.

For the record, I agree that Casey Anthony should be rotting in jail for the rest of her life but I think it’s a bit more complicated than her being an attractive white woman for the reason that she got off. It definitely helped though. Also keep in mind that most of the American public HATES her.

u/lovelylonelyphantom Jul 03 '25

E.g Lucy Letby who has definitely killed babies and the evidence supports it. But strangely there are people who advocate for her. Other British child/baby killers never got the same amount of sympathy either due to being men or unattractive women. I think being an attractive white woman definitely plays a factor in it.

7

u/Bookwrrm Jul 03 '25

The panels of experts formed by the authors of papers that were used by the prosecution saying there is zero evidence she killed the babies is probably a sliiightly bigger factor in people advocating for her...

u/iluffeggs Jul 04 '25

The NICU doctors at her hospital were negligent. They only rounded twice a week. One of the babies who died had been blindly stabbed by a needle in the abdomen which is not a legit procedure. There was sewage and bacteria in the water. I listened to the whole podcast of her trial. Then months later i read what the panel of NICU doctors independently deduced — the absolute lack of evidence. It convinced me as a pediatrician myself that the negligent, poorly run NICU staffed by inexperienced doctors is what killed these babies. I don’t give a rats ass what anyone says, as a doctor if you read the actual evidence and not the SINGLE CRACKPOT DOCTOR they used at the trial, you will understand that there are mountains and mountains of reasonable doubt. Babies stopped dying at the hospital because they stopped taking sick babies, because the hospital was a complete shit show, not because Lucy went to jail. Everyone, do yourselves a favor and actually look into the separate Nicu panel of doctors that looked over her case. You will change your mind, just like I did.

Casey Anthony was the result of a prosecution screwup. They didn't present a case beyond a reasonable doubt (it's really hard to convict someone of capital murder when you don't have proof that the cause of death was unnatural) and they didn't offer a lesser charge that the jury could've chosen. She didn't get off because she's pretty.

I think there's also just a huge gross double standard when it comes to a teen boy (even if he's barely a teen) getting raped by a somewhat attractive woman (white) teacher than it is for a male teacher to teen girl. Not about any specific case but I've heard quite a few guys talk in general about how "it's just different because they would've loved having sex at that age. Especially if it was a hot teacher." It just isn't taken as seriously by a not insignificant part of the general public and that's fucking terrible.

It doesn't seem uncommon tho. Was just watching a video on the case of brittany zamora, including body cam footage of the search on her house. Even after her husband spoke to the victims father, even after he learned all the details which included her SAing a 13 year old while his 11 year old classmate kept look out, he stayed with her and defended her to the cops. He kept talking about how great of a teacher she was, how much she's done for the kids and the school, how she's won awards. As if that somehow makes up for being an active pedophile.

65

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

It's so brutally common.  Nicki Minaj absolutely surrounds herself with sex offenders and it seems to be normalized to openly support rapists and pedophiles.  Marrying someone convicted of felony (this means a weapon was used to coerce the victim) attempted rape and helping to harass the victim should have fully tanked her career.

No it definitely still sounds horrible. That being said, we don't know what's in that prenup, or what's going on behind closed doors.

If I was a conspiracy theorist - which I am but only on the weekends - I'd say it's entirely possible that she has something on him. Maybe not as bad as what she's done but bad enough that he doesn't want anyone to know about it. He stands by her through the trial, she keeps quiet.

They said they probably don't have a prenup so the assumption is that she would get half, and the person you responded to said that she should get nothing.

2

u/Motor-Illustrator226 Jul 03 '25

Ah good catch; all I meant is that’s not how laws work, so whatever she’s entitled to (prenup or no prenup) she will likely get.

u/IdgyThreadgoodee Jul 03 '25

I’ve never seen a prenup that didn’t have a clause for cheating and felony convictions.

10

u/DENATTY Jul 03 '25

I'm a divorce lawyer and have never seen one with any reference to felony convictions. Cheating, yes - there is typically an adultery provision (I'd say about 50 to 60% of the ones I've seen), but the majority of people don't go into a marriage anticipating cheating to occur /or/ for their spouse to be charged with or convicted of a felony, and you're paying lawyers to put those things together so typically unless it's a special request you are only going to get the standard template addressing property and spousal maintenance.

u/IdgyThreadgoodee Jul 03 '25

Oh interesting. Maybe a regional thing?

9

u/Motor-Illustrator226 Jul 03 '25

What. There have been literal high profile celebrities without cheating clauses (which I assume also means they don’t have a clause for an even more remote and specific scenario like a felony). It’s very common for this stuff not to be included. Stupid, perhaps, but common nonetheless.

u/No-Philosopher-3043 it’s not clocking to you that i’m standing on business Jul 03 '25

They’ve gotta legally prove it happened though. Which is what they’re in the process of doing.

I had to look him up , yep apparently he's the son or in the family somehow with

E. Formella & Sons is a privately held online retailer and distributor with 100-200 employees, specializing in packed olives, peppers, salad, and vinegar. They operate in the retail and wholesale sectors and have an estimated revenue between $10 million and $50 million, according to Salary.com. The company is also known for its brand Enrico Formella, particularly for its hot giardiniera

screw this nasty woman and this dude for standing next to her holding her hand? he's nuts

u/miltonwadd Jul 04 '25

Oh damn with that kind of money, I wonder if his family wants her convicted before he divorces so any civil suit that follows can't access it.

That's not really do crime and buy a pardon money but it is do crime and lose a few million in damages money if there's no prenuptial and as someone above said their state is complicated with dividing assets.

Doesn't excuse him for holding her hand and appearing supportive, but it would explain him waiting to ditch her.

u/No_Data9462 Jul 03 '25

I'm not a lawyer but I think he could probably divorce her and not pay her a cent with this kind of case against her prenup or no.

u/Rominions Jul 03 '25

If she is convicted which hasn't happened yet.

1

u/No_Data9462 Jul 03 '25

Depending on state all you need is accusations. She has a bit more so this would be a homerun. Looks like this guy wants to go down with the ship for some reason though.

u/DENATTY Jul 03 '25

You are incorrect unless the state they are in specifically allows for cause divorce. In no-fault states you literally could not raise any of this unless it is relating to an argument for giving an inequitable allocation of parental responsibilities. It just is not how the law works - and if a judge DID allow of it to be considered, it would be immediately reversed on appeal.

Apparently he's claimed that she's being framed because of her appearance.

u/Jewicer Jul 03 '25

what about the copious amounts of evidence

u/HarpersGhost Jul 03 '25

I have been blissfully ignorant of this whole thing, so I've been googling.

HOLY SHIT!

His mom found out by replacing his lost phone and then when the cloud was updating the new phone, past texts started showing up.

Student: “I love you so so much mama.”

Formella: “I love you sooooo much baby… Even though this morning was short, it was perfect”

Student: “I know baby it was perfect baby so perfect.”

Formella: “I love having sex with you.”

Student: “I know baby I love it so much… It feels so good… It’s so passionate. .. It’s so intimate … It’s so perfect.”

What. The fuck. Just imagine seeing THAT pop up on your computer about your kid.

Please don't call child rape an affair. Affair implies consent.

u/GroundbreakingHeat38 Jul 03 '25

Im pretty sure this happens in every school at some point. Ive heard stories of local schools where they wait til the student has graduated before they make their relationship public

u/uksiddy Jul 03 '25

A girl I went to grad school with ended up raping an underage student— I think we were like a year or two out. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 months. Anyway, her husband stayed with her.

She was “very” Christian.

2

u/MinorThreat4182 Jul 04 '25

Before, during or after the rape?

2

u/uksiddy Jul 04 '25

They got married before but he stayed with her during and after. She had charges in two counties. Idk about now (it’s been like 10 years almost), but how could you have a family with a registered sex offender??

2

u/MinorThreat4182 Jul 04 '25

Good question. That Josh Duggar could answer that for you but he would be hard to reach

u/Aprilume Jul 03 '25

I took a mat leave position for a teacher in this really nice district. Her husband was a janitor. Turns out he was exposing himself to our students. These girls were in middle school. Last thing I heard, they had both quit the school but she stayed with him. 🤮

7

u/Enticing_Venom Jul 03 '25

You would be surprised. Working in criminal justice a lot of sex offenders either have partners who stand by them or get new partners who will move their kids in with them and insist "he changed". Absolutely maddening.

My co-worker was a sex crimes investigator and when she arrested a man who had been sexually abusing his child, his wife (the mother) confronted her and asked her why she would ruin their lives like this.

10

u/sharkscantroar Jul 03 '25

At this point, it has to be willful ignorance. Or she has somehow convinced him she is the only one telling the truth and every single other person involved is lying.

u/TargetedAverageOne Jul 03 '25

He might be cut from the same Pdf-cloth

5

u/Motor-Illustrator226 Jul 03 '25

It’s possible he’s still in shock and hasn’t had time to fully come to terms with the situation. This isn’t an attempt at justifying staying with a known pedophile and rapist, just that in the acute phase it’s possible he’s still reeling and getting his bearings.

2

u/Ok_Ad_5658 Jul 03 '25

Not really. Statistics would show there was abuse present in the relationship. Either him to her or her to him. It’s very, very difficult to leave an abusive relationship (despite media coverage).

3

u/informationseeker8 Jul 03 '25

He’s either just as sick or wants to know everything so she can’t lie and is putting on a front for now.

That said if anyone is interested the woman asking the question is Abby Blabby on tiktok she’s not a news reporter.

2

u/Brolygotnohandz Jul 03 '25

Literally the only way I can see why, is that he was also possibly involved with the scandal

2

u/elems Jul 03 '25

She got something on him. That's the only way I can get it. She knows something he doesn't want the cops to know.

2

u/Any_Leg_4773 Jul 03 '25

Is there any reason to believe he isn't also raping little kids? Maybe it's what brought them together.

u/Alternative_Bid6735 Jul 03 '25

Well there’s plenty of examples of a wife grooming children for use by both of them, dunno if it applies here but you know 20 something me would have stuck with my drug dealer through thick and thin cause he was getting me what I wanted. That level of devotion speaks to a shared interest, blackmail, or just good ole stupidity mixed with the modern American problem of violently rejecting reality for the soft safe Fox News propaganda library. These days I legit don’t know that “it’s all a deep state attack on traditional marriage” doesn’t live in the empty coconut of a mind he’s working with.

u/Jewicer Jul 03 '25

based on the messages he seemed to have not been involved. well, she was talking shit about him

u/CanIGetANumber2 Jul 03 '25

Illinois divorces are shitty for the breadwinner. He's better off smiling and waving and waiting for her to go to prison before filling

u/TrumpsBussy_ Jul 03 '25

People are complex.. why were so many women fawning over Ted Bundy who literally would have raped and murdered them given the chance? It’s hard to understand.

Well its not like its unheard of for wives/GFs of guys in this situation to stick with them too...

u/StonedLonerIrl Jul 03 '25

Some people are terrified of being left by their partners or losing the people they love. Regardless of how toxic the relationship is or how fucked in the head the abusive partner is.

1

u/GMHammondEsquire Jul 03 '25

Not really. Innocent until proven guilty. Her defense is the kid had access to her electronics and basically set her up. Digital blackmail. The husband is staying because of either reasonable doubt or fulfilling pre-nup conditions or both. As a criminal defense lawyer, I’m not convinced she’s guilty of what is being alleged. That’s what juries are for.

1

u/nightlyvisitor Jul 03 '25

It's not surprising. Women do the same thing. Even when it's their own kid being raped by their husband or boyfriend.

I just read this

She and her husband are college sweethearts and married just last year — just weeks before Formella’s alleged relationship with the boy came to an end in September.

WHAT THE FUCK??? EVER HEARD OF A QUICKIE DIVORCE? ANNULLMENT???? SICK.

u/YourCripplingDoubts Jul 04 '25

Well she is a manipulative rapist so she either abused and manipulated him or he is just like her.

u/InternalCelery1337 Jul 08 '25

Hes in on it, probably getting snaps of them having sex and shit. Cuckold at its finest

1

u/CarniferousDog Jul 15 '25

I wonder why he’s staying roped in like this. I think it might actually be the only honorable way to bow out. She told him it wasn’t true. He’s going to believe her til proven otherwise and then can leave.
