Casey Anthony: The Devil's Advocate?

Well, this is the watercooler story, eh?

Unless, it's the story of my sudden switch to speaking like a Canadian.

But I thought I'd give a little of my bits'n'pieces on Miss Anthony and the Trial Of The Month!!!!!

First off, she was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter, child abuse. She was found guilty of being an unrepentant liar. Most murderers are liars, but I digress.

I think the prosecution had trouble because they came up with too many theories about how Casey did it, if she had help, why she did it and where she did it. There were too many stories, too many ideas, too many possibilities, so how was the jury supposed to pick just one?

Reasonable doubt.

If you tell em she killed her kid because she was a party monster, and then tell me she killed her kid accidentally because Caylee drowned in a pool, and then tell me that maybe Caylee died from chloroform, well, that's too many theories.

They should have picked just one.

And for all you out there ranting and raving about the verdicts, well, you weren't in the courtroom every day, as were the jurors. You didn't sit through witness after witness after witness, and hear every single question and answer, and see every detail of every piece of evidence. The jurors dd that, and they didn't believe she killed her child, either accidentally or with pre-meditation.

That said.........

Please to explain how a mother can have a child just disappear for a month and not do a goddamned thing about it, be found not guilty of Aggravated Child Abuse? She neglected her child for over a month. She lied about the whereabouts and who had Caylee.

How is that not child abuse? What kind of mother misplaces her child, or lets her child wander off, or lets someone take her child, and then she goes out and drinks and parties and tattoos?

As I said on Facebook, like OJ, Casey Anthony will soon begin her "Search For The Real Killers Tour" but, unlike OJ who looked on the golf course, Casey Anthony will be looking at nightclubs and bars that offer 2-for-1 tequila shots.

She may not have killed her child, but she's guilty of abuse and neglect and being an unrepentant liar. And she'll live with that for the rest of her miserable life.

  1. First let me give you high marks for proper use of the word 'eh'? There are subtle rules and protocol surrounding the word and you got it right.

    I think Casey's stunning lies and the length of time she 'got away' with it was the thing that riveted people. Because, as we sadly know, parents are being tried for killing their children every day.

  3. I agree with Todd. You damn well know the monster looking drag queen thing Nancy Grace will be all over this like a wart on a witch! But your post is so true on many levels and points. And if she did kill her, she will be haunted by that little girls face evey night when she closes her eyes to sleep.

  4. Bob: I am with you about the fact that none of "us" regular folk got to spend over a month (separated from our families) listening to the courtroom banter, like those jurors did... The fact that the prosecution offered "multiple choice" causes of death and motive that was not unlike a fine lace tablecloth, could not have helped them... The jurors did what they were told to do. Listen, process, weigh the evidence, and decide whether she was guilty "beyond reasonable doubt"... I am no lawyer, but from what I heard and saw there was doubt during each day of that trial.

    As for the Aggravated Child Abuse charge, if poor Kaylee was dead at the beginning of that 30+ day period, there is no abuse.

    Was Casey proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt? NO>>>

    Is Casey innocent? MOST DEFINITELY NOT>>>

    She has to live with the latter...

    My two cents...

  5. I agree with Thomas... the verdict did as they were instructed: Reasonable Doubt. The prosecution flubbed it. Watching that family unravel was riviting... but watching Nancy Grace do anything is more riviting. TOTMOM!
