At long last the verdict is in for Casey Anthony. I have watched the trial and formed my opinion in this case. The prosecution put on a very scientific case. The defense blamed every one but Casey. Offered up all sorts of excuses. Forever ruined lives with her lies. Twisted a knife in the hearts of her family. That sweet baby girl Caylee was missing for 31 days. For 31 days Casey partied hard, entered hot body contests, was a party girl. She didn't report her child missing (her mom did on day 31). She never reported it! She claims she was trying to find Caylee on her own, but when the police became involved, she sent them on a wild goose chase. Why? She was out partying, getting tats and buying a round for the house when the average mom of a missing child would have been struggling to remain sane and pouring her extra dollars into a search fund or reward fund. I know we all cope differently, but really? When confronted about Caylee, she lied. While Caylee was missing, Casey told her family Caylee was with a nanny, with her and an imaginary wealthy boyfriend, kidnapped by the nanny then later, disposed of by her dad after she accidentally drowned. Now come on, are we supposed to go out of our way to find some truth out of all those lies?? Frankly, there was much less evidence against Scott Petersen, and he is sitting on death row. People cannot seem to abide the thought of a female murderer, and they are even more reluctant to put a female murderer to death. That is one of the reasons Casey was found not guilty. Did Casey kill her daughter? A lot of people think so, but no one can prove it. The big mistake the prosecution made was not telling the story of how Casey clearly committed criminal neglect. The closing statement was aimed at first degree murder. If they cast a slightly broader net, they could have gotten her on neglect. Instead, she'll be free to go, and she can pop out another baby and maybe decide she doesn't want it anymore either. I am incredibly saddened by this ruling. But what really chaps my a$$ (yes, that's a saying around here) is that justice will never be served for this poor little girl. And while trying not to get too far onto a tangent I do believe in karmic justice and like O.J. I hope she'll meet it somewhere down the road.

I wrote about the same thing today. What is wrong with that Jury? could they not see at all? could they not hear at all? have they no common sense? what has happened to that? undoubtably she will go the route of all "famous" people here. and the memory of a murdered baby will be forgotten. Casey won. her lies took her where she wanted to be. but hopefully now that she has dragged her family through the muck..they don't accept her back...let her go out there on her own now...fend for herself without Mom and Dad always there to pick up the pieces and making excuses for her.

We never chapped our asses in Philly (we usually "burned" them), but I fully realize the gravity of this decision.
And once again, THAT is why I won't sit on a jury...not when verdicts are based on things like THIS.
Sure, they couldn't get her on murder one (as presented), but why not CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE?
(at least)
Prosecutors REALLY dropped the ball on THAT one (imho).
This speaks volumes to the degradation of our societal mores and civility, and to the protection of the accused as opposed to the (actual) VICTIM.
I iold my wife I was both DISTURBED by this verdict as well as expectant of the outcome, given the manner this case proceded and the "specifics" that were addressed.
A whole lotta "hair-splitting" going on for me...and I also felt it was surrealistically like the O.J. trial.
Oh yeah, KARMA will come back to bite you like the DOG(ma) it truly is.
And maybe then, little Caylee WILL have her voice heard.
Good call.
Stay safe down there.
Everyone in this country is entitled to their day in court for their case to be heard in front of a group of their peers who decide their fate. So justice was served, however much we disagree. She was judged by 12 of her peers and found not guilty. I, like so many expected and hoped for a different outcome.
I would like to suggest that Jose Baez hire her as a live in au pair for his children.
