Unless you live under a rock, you’ve no doubt heard that Casey Anthony was found not-guilty today on all counts with the exception of lying to police officers. To say I was shocked to hear this verdict would be a gross understatement.
I know that justice is SUPPOSED to prevail…but does it? Really? Or only now and then? Does the crime have to be videotaped and narrated to be considered valid? Or was this particular case a prime example of a crappy prosecution who couldn’t make their case? A bottomless pit of reasonable doubt?
And why is it that the media always gets blamed for a negative judicial outcome? Shouldn’t our legal leaders have the ability to block out such things and focus on what they SHOULD be focused on? If a jury is grossly influenced by the media, then it’s an immoral travesty for them to remain on a jury panel. The media has and always will grab hold of a sensational story and run with it. That’s their job. Sure, they go overboard….but they shouldn’t shoulder the blame of mishandled criminal trials.
On a personal note, I cannot accept this verdict. Not when an innocent child’s life was completely dismissed due to the absence of muscle and tissue on her skeletal remains. But karma? That’s the one thing I do have perfect faith in. Because no matter the verdict or opinion of twelve people “tried and true”….the ultimate verdict is flawless and perfectly just.
So here’s the soon-to-be-free Casey Anthony….the majority of these pictures taken AFTER her daughter went missing. Sometimes actions speak far more than words or evidence.

Personal feelings aside, she has been found innocent, and that’s that. If she in truth did it, may she rot in hell.
She had a good, very eqloquent attorney and they found the holes in the defense’s case. I also think that crazy bitch Nancy Grace just bit off her own tongue — the media has too much access and influence. It is 100% biased… the Nancy Garces of the world should be muzzled.
There is a line that should not be crossed, but society seems to thrive on the drama and misery of others. Sadly, Caylee was forgotten in the rush to judgment.
