well, i just witnessed history today...some really bad history!!! can you believe the jury found Casey Anthony NOT GUILTY??? what in the world is wrong w/ those people???
i truly wish i had never followed this case...i let it consume my life for the past 30+ days & now i am beyond disgusted w/ today's verdict. i would like to personally interview each & every one of those jurors...i NEED them to explain to me why they felt this evil girl deserved to walk. did they not see & hear the same evidence that i did? i mean, the trial was televised...i saw the same evidence, i heard the same testimony & i was so convinced she'd receive a guilty verdict...how let down my household was today.
i guess i should explain that my 13 year old son has been following this case w/ me. i felt this was a great way to show him how the judicial process in our country works...it's all been televised, so he sees firsthand how these court proceedings work. he definitely got involved. he would even wake up each morning ready to watch.
well, yesterday was the end of closing arguments & we couldn't wait for that guilty verdict. all the evidence was there!!! court adjourned, jury deliberation was put on hold for the 4th of July festivities. we patiently waited until today, to see history made...history was made alright, just not the history that we wanted. NOT GUILTY...are you kidding me??? i'm still in shock!! even devin was let down, he was sure she was guilty. he asked me why it was ok for that girl to kill her daughter, but not to lie? can you believe that, he has a point. it's like the jurors thought it was ok for her to abuse her child, but not to lie to law enforcement. that's the message they sent to my son. now he's so confused & i don't blame him. how am i supposed to make him feel confident in our judicial system now? how will i ever convince him that most people who commit crimes go to jail. he even asked me why some people who get drug charges spend more time in jail than she will. good question...
hopefully devin will get on w/ his life & not let this case consume his life as i have. he will be starting 8th grade in about a month, & i just want him to have fun & be a kid. maybe getting him interested in this case was a bad idea on my part, but i honestly just wanted him to learn a little about our court system & i also thought that someday, when he was grown he may be watching a documentary on "Casey Anthony" & he would say, "i remember watching that w/ my mom, i still remember when they said GUILTY"...well, looks like his memory will be the exact opposite. i guess his recollection will go a little something like this..."i remember when that witch got away w/ murder..." oh well, i guess at least now he understands how courts work & how it's super important to have a lawyer to convince jurors you're innocent even when you're not.
i guess for myself, my opinion on all of this is that i'm disgusted w/ the verdict. i'm disgusted w/ Casey Anthony. i've cried many tears today for caylee, more than her mother ever has. i've thought about that sweet little 2 year old, how she was perfect in every way. how she had no disorder, no defect. perfection. as you all know, my daughter has angelman syndrome...she has severe developmental delay. i love her so much, but i can't help but wish she had no disorder...that she was perfectly healthy just like caylee was. casey has no idea the gift she had in that little girl, she never appreciated the fact that her daughter was perfect in every way. she took for granted that her daughter could walk & would soon be talking to her. she only saw her child as a burden, someone who got in the way of a lifestyle she so badly wanted. i am jealous of what casey had been given, i'm jealous that her daughter could function 100% but mine cannot. someone posted on facebook today that people need to cut casey some slack...well, she was cut some slack. God cut her some slack when He gave her a PERFECT in every way child. some of us moms have harder things to bear...we have disorders & deformities to deal with. heaven forbid caylee had a disorder, she probably wouldn't even made it to age 2. some moms have their child taken from them by SIDS or some other tragedy...their hearts ache for their child to return to them. not casey, she has never grieved once that i've seen. how evil one must be to show no sorrow for your dead child. i could go on & on for hours, maybe even days why i think casey anthony was guilty or why i think she's evil. but i think most of you feel the same as i do. if you don't, well, i just don't get your mind set. what i do know is that we all answer for our actions...God will ultimately be the final judge for casey & God is a just God!!!
R.I.P. Caylee Marie Anthony
Sweet, Lovely Child...
