Anybody that knows me probably knew that sooner or later I'd get to this topic.
Casey Anthony. Mother extraordinaire. NOT!
Is she guilty? Probably.
Should she have been convicted? Probably.
Was she convicted? No.
Why?
Because our justice system is archaic...That's why!
What I wonder is this. When did judges STOP doing the job they were either elected for or hired for? When did they decide to allow faulty attorneys to run the court room?
Do you know what I'd like to see?
A judge that has the balls enough to put his/her foot down and say enough is enough! A judge that runs the court room the way its supposed to be run. A judge that says, I don't care what crap you, as an attorney, come up, with if it doesn't pertain to this trial, you won't bring it up.
Remember OJ? Remember how pissed you were because he walked? You were probably sure that he'd hang himself eventually. He did. A person with that much anger was bound to end up in jail eventually.
Casey Anthony. Will she too hang herself? Probably not. She'll go on with life. Possibly change her name or move somewhere people don't know her. She may have another child. She may even profit from her story. As you know, I love to read my true crime. I will NEVER buy a book that woman may write!
It sickens me. It sickens me that the judge allowed a slime ball attorney to bring up things that had absolutely NO bearing on the case at hand. The case of a little girl murdered. The defense never argued that she wasn't murdered. No, what did they do? They said that Casey's father molested her. And that has exactly what to do with a two year old dying? He also mentioned that the gentleman that found the body moved it. Really? Was he there?
Yes. The prosecution made mistakes. The shouldn't have gone for the all or nothing. But come on people.
Do you know that most murder convictions happen because of circumstantial evidence? How many murderers have stood up and said, "That's right, you got me". Oh yes, son of Sam did. He's about the only one. Manson, to this day, still fenes innocence. Yes. Circumstantial evidence.
The words circumstantial evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt don't go together. Yet they often do. Apparently not this time.
What do we do? OJ? Casey? Well, seems to me to be an easy solution. Change the definition. Change how the system works. Why? Because it's NOT working! We wrote the laws. We can change said laws. If they worked, I'd say keep them. They don't work!
Am I angry? You bet I am. At the jurors? No. They did what they were supposed to do according to the law. I'm fairly certain that more than one juror found her guilty. I'd guess more than half think she is. But. Based on what they heard, they couldn't convict. So. Who to be mad at? Just the system. A system that needs to be changed. A system, which seems to be the best one in the world, yet still has many things wrong with it.
How do we change the system? Elect judges that aren't afraid. Elect judges that are as sick and tired as we are in seeing justice not served. Elect judges who want to make a difference.
Or, if you have a better idea...I'd love to hear it. I'm open!!
