Casey Anthony Thoughts


What do you think motivates those people who seem obsessed with seeing Casey Anthony fry?  Why do these over reactors wait for hours to get into the courthouse?  Yes, this is a very sad case but it seems to me that the Nancy Grace clones are more about being judgmental than just.   

Jeff Ashton did not prove Casey guilty of murder.  But, he did prove himself a jerk - for example - during the closing when Jose Baez was speaking and he was laughing. Baez got angry and called him "laughing man." What was Ashton thinking? Someone is on trial - facing death - and he is laughing. Surely, this cost him with the jury. In my mind this was a manslaughter case that he tried to turn into a lifetime achievement.  The whole thing was a huge waste of limited resources.

As to Casey, as we speak, she is probably working on the book, her contract with Playboy, and her new dancing act.  But, don't worry.  She may walk this time but this damaged human being is a walking time bomb.  Clearly, she is not going to go forward and have a nice, normal life.  

Finally, and most important, what about the millions of children who are abused, abandoned, and neglected each year?  Who is outraged about them?  If one really cares about children it would be much more productive to focus some attention and anger to a bigger cause, and help the next Caylee Anthony.
