Always in our hearts.
Edited: Had to fix the spelling errors in her name. Whoops. Let me know if I missed any.
When I heard the news yesterday, that Casey Anthony was declared NOT GUILTY of her daughter’s murder, I was sickened. To say that I am disappointed in our legal system is an understatement. I am beyond disappointed but also incredibly saddened; saddened for Caylee who has received no justice. I know that the jury had to come up with a verdict based on what proof was presented; which was little. But that still doesn’t mean it was the right verdict.
I have a daughter about Caylee’s age, when she passed away, and I cannot imagine what went through her mother’s mind as she committed such an unforgivable crime against her own flesh and blood. While there is no physical proof, there is proof in actions — and Casey’s actions spoke quite loudly in her daughter’s absence.
I think about what would happen if my own 3 year old daughter would go missing. Heck, I think about it every day and I do everything in my power to ensure that it doesn’t happen. We have locks on our windows, including alarms. Alarms on every door and gates that are securely still up. When our natural alarm of Carli awaking in the morning around 6:30 doesn’t go off, we wake with immediate worry. Is she okay? Has anything happened? When her door opens and we hear her calling for us, we sigh with relief. Another day with one of the most amazing girls ever to walk this planet. We love her with every ounce of our being, and plus some.
Now, if anything were to happen — my God, there is no way I could function let alone go and party or not report her missing for a month. If she was missing for more than a few minutes, I would be calling the police and run out my door screaming for someone to help me find my baby. I would like to think that any normal parent would act immediately. Never would you see me out and about — not until my daughter was found and brought home safe and sound.
Being a good parent is putting your child first; not only their safety, but their happiness. Casey Anthony is no parent. But what is worse than that, she is a despicable human being who couldn’t just admit she didn’t want to be a mother, but actually took away the life of a daughter who could have made some other couple happy just to have her in their lives. She took away her own daughter’s chance to live a happy life of her own, to live any life. Casey Anthony, in fact, is worse than an awful parent. She is the lowest of the low.
I am ashamed to live just a few minutes away from the Anthony’s, too. I am ashamed to live in Florida where the law has failed this innocent little girl, letting her murderer walk free. I am ashamed that there isn’t more we can do for this little girl. We know in our hearts that Casey Anthony murdered her daughter (whether intentionally or not, we’ll never know) but we know she did it. The whole world knows she did it and yet no one could come up with the physical evidence.
God, this sucks so damn bad.
So what do you think? Do you feel it was the right verdict?

I was very surprised by the verdict. Casey Anthony is reviled and I’m sure the jurors had a difficult time setting aside their own emotions to come up with the verdict they did. As much as I hate it, it does show that the justice system can work. Innocent people can be convicted easily regardless of evidence because they come across as so unlikeable. I believe Casey murdered her child. I just think that the prosecution wasn’t able to make a strong enough case b/c so much evidence was lost during those 31 days before Caylee was reported missing. Sadly, being a bad person isn’t enough to convict without enough evidence. I really thought they would vote guilty on murder based on how despicable a person Casey is. But they did what they had to do and I’m sure they didn’t feel good about it and will spend the rest of their lives wondering if they made the right decision. Caylee didn’t have enough people in her life to care and question her disappearance. Why Casey’s parents changed their story, I’ll never know. I guess they wanted to protect her. It is too bad that there are many Caylee’s out there. I treat my dogs better than so many treat their children. It is tragic.

I hear you. The jurors voted the only way they could. It still stinks, though!
I wonder what was going through her parents mind with the lies. Maybe since it was too late to save Caylee, they didn’t want to see their only daughter on death row. Their truthful testimony may have been enough for Casey to be found guilty.

I have no idea. Maybe it was a pride thing. They didn’t want anyone to know they had raised someone who could do such a thing like murder their own child. They got caught up in her lies, too. I definitely think the Father had something to do with helping to cover things up. The mother may have been the only one who was out of the loop.
Either way — that says a lot about their parenting.

In my opinion the killer walked free due to the jury not knowing what was going on,was in such a hurry to get it over with,did not understand what was told to them and really had no common sense.When one can say that “She was not saying Cassie was not guilty it was just that she did not know the punishment”That to me is so unheard of.It was Not up to them to make that decision,they were there to say she was guilty or not gulity and then the Jude would decide the punishment.Did he not explain this to them?
I think the defence got lucky with the right people in the jury on this one.
Cassie will never be happy I don’t think.I Pray that every time she closes her eyes she sees Kaylee looking at ther and asking WHY.SHe has torn her Family apart with her lies.It will all come back to haunt her if not in this world,there will be justic for Kaylee in the next when she has to face her God.
I didn’t follow this case as closely as many. Based on media coverage, I thought the verdict was a forgone conclusion. When the verdict came back not guilty, I had to take a double look at it. I’m a law student working in a district attorney’s office in my town. While I think Casey Anthony’s actions seem awful and they make me think she was guilty. I have to look at the prosecutors and wonder how they went for a capital sentence with no real motive or cause of death. I think the capital sentence might have made the jurors a bit skittish.
I know that I will not be watching any interviews or buying any books that Casey Anthony might try to put out. She may be free because of decisions made by others and I refuse to help her profit off of this.
