Dispatcher: What's your name?
Caller: Casey Anthony!!
Dispatcher: Okay, try to stay calm and an officer should be there sometime after 31 days!

That's definitely something I'll never understand. A lot of people killed a lot of people (that's just the way it is), and they get (almost) no negative publicity, while Casey is getting even death threats.

It's just funny how people make a fuss about a dead kid, and do nothing about serial killers, rapers, gangbangers, and all those who do the damage. I'm not saying that kid didn't deserve the justice or whatsoever, but there's no justice in killing. You just kill the person, nothing happens... You feel just about the same like before.

Those idiots should get a new hobby, as I'm pretty sure this one sucks.

A mother killing their own child will always trump any other kind of violent crime.

I must disagree. I will forgive someone for killing their own kid before I'd forgive them for killing someone they weren't related to.

I also feel the hate shown to Casey Anthony is out of control and the people sprouting death threats should be ashamed of themselves. The system found her not guilty- move on with your own lives. Some lady in Oklahoma was run off the road and nearly killed because a crazy woman thought it was Casey Anthony.

Which proves the system is flawed beyond reproach.

No system is perfect but this case hardly proves anything. One major case doesn't go the way the public wants every 10 years isn't too bad.

Our legal system, personally imo is worthless. It's more wrapped around a political and money stick then wall street is, like a kid flailing a lollipop around in excitement.

31 Days are you kidding me there's nothing else to be said, no defense and certainly before anyone goes any further into the case to make their own decision must admit that there in itself is utterly unforgivable. Of course not everyone has a near heart attack when their child is missing for more than 30 seconds other then me at about 5 seconds, instinct is what I'll call it where was hers?

To err is human; to err for 31 days is a sheer disgrace to the human race.

IMO People, imo...

Someone sent me this a little while ago and I think it sums it all up expertly.

Quote:
Forgive? No. Anger can be negative , as you say . And it can be positive, also as you say. Anger fuels action. Casey Anthony worked the system. Even by the admission of her legal counsel, she worked it. Caylee won't come back, that's true. None of us can bring her back. What we can for for all the Caylee's of the world is to never let those who had a hand in their demise forget that there are eyes watching them. Forgiveness? Does it really lighten a burden that one carries around? Or does it garner positive feelings and responses from those who are informed that forgiveness has been given. There are some events, and some acts in this life that do not require, nor deserve forgiveness. This is an instance of a person who committed an act, either on her own, or in collusion with others, and she got away with it. Those charged with deciding her fate, for whatever fallibility on their part, chose to acquit her. So be it.That is the law of the land. We must respect it, but we don't have to agree, nor like it. I have to wonder if Casey was really innocent, why in three years time could she not provide one shred of credible evidence that she was innocent. Why would a truly innocent person take great care to misdirect those trying to find her child. Why do that? The look on her face the day of the sentencing said it all. Society has taken a tact of removing accountability from ones' actions. And those that do harm to others are reaping the benefits of that. No, Casey is not deserving of forgiveness. To forgive her is to condone her behavior, and that is not acceptable. When someone does something and takes ownership of it, apologizes and asks for forgiveness, perhaps they are worthy. Casey did not do that. Now it's coming to light all the money that has changed hands- given to her, to her parents, to a juror, and possibly more jurors. Can that be forgiven? Financial gain connected to the death of a child? Forgiveness only assuages the emotions of the one doing the forgiving. And perhaps, if that palliative was not received, there could be more positive outcomes from a position of anger.

@Boofo
Now that's plain ol' bullshit (letter), and you know it. I hate when people pretend that they care, when they actually don't. Caylee was related to them? They knew her? Or they're simply picking on Casey because they have nothing else to do? Again, I'm not defending Casey, and I couldn't care less about the whole case, but I don't like stupid people either. Especially ones that are avoiding their life to pretend they care about someone else's life.

Pretty sad to be honest. But I agree that system needs a change, in every country of course. System did a number on some people, even though they weren't guility. But then again, as I said.. We can't change shit, hence there's no point in discussing.

You do not have to prove your innocence. The State must prove your guilt. And the 12 people with the best seat in the house unanimously agreed the State cold not prove Murder.

Case closed.
