throughout the duration of the Casey Anthony trial, i hadn't been one of those glued to her computer screen or newspaper. i didn't even realize that the trial was going on. i remember when the mom was first arrested in 2008 only because of the candid picture that the media released of Caylee -- the little girl with big brown eyes in a pensive stare and her hand under her chin.
so really, i was made aware of the trial at the end of it.... mostly because of the public outrage.
honestly, i think that Casey did it. there were way too many odd elements in that case. party girl mom who didn't report her missing child? getting a tattoo while your daughter is missing? lying about your alleged nanny kidnapping your child? falsifying your place of employment? tooo weird.
however.... there was not enough proof to convict that crazy chick. so guess what? in the eyes of the law, she innocent! see that's how the law works. i can theorize and hypothesize all the live long day until i'm blue in the face. that doesn't change the fact that there is no physical incriminating evidence that says, "aha! she did it!".
so alot of people don't like the vedict. okay. what gets me is how Psychotically Passionate strangers are. they have no link to the case and have never met Caylee but are driven to act irrationally.
have you heard the story about Casey Anthony being harassed on her facebook account? OH WAIT! that's not Casey. that's actually the same name of a 43 year old black man who lives in philly. i don't know what picture was on his profile but that didn't stop him from getting hundreds of friend requests, threatening messages and phone calls.
what about Casey Anthony getting attacked while at the convenience store she worked at in oklahoma? OH, MY BAD! that's not Casey again! this lady just sorta kinda looks like her and a woman attacked her.
and during Casey's prison release early sunday morning, there was a mob of people outside chanting "baby killer"among other things.
all of this reminded me of a high school english class. we learned about the Salem witch trials. read on that! you'll see some modern day similarities.

I didn't follow the case either, but it has really hit the heart of Americans. I believe she's as innocent as OJ...
Interesting how so many become passionate about the killing of an innocent child, when they are also very passionate about the right to have an abortion. Baby killers indeed.
most definitely as innocent as OJ!
uh huh! if she were two years younger and in her mother's womb, it would've simply been "Casey's choice" to terminate the pregnancy.
This story just saddens me. I agree with sis McElhaney- if only Americans could be just as passionate about things that actually matter and that will adversely affect our children, grandchildren and generations to come.
