Justice?

Not Guilty.

Wow.

We all know who we’re talking about. I’m shocked as I know many, many others are as well. Casey Anthony dodged both the death penalty and first degree murder conviction bullet. And, let’s add to that that the jury could not even convict her on aggravated child abuse or aggravated manslaughter of a child. But, she was found guilty of misleading law enforcement. That was it. One dead child later (and, yes, this is a cruel way of stating it, but what was done was beyond cruel), and all she walks away with is the crime of having misled the authorities.

Who knows what really happened. Did she in fact murder her child or was it an accident that she and her family covered up? Whatever the situation was in this case, both scenarios are shocking. Video shows her to be a loving mother. Okay, it looks like she might have been. Perhaps Caylee drowned in the family pool when no one was watching. Who knows. But to cover this up? To actually go through the trouble of making this look like a crime? A crime! I just can’t fathom it. God forbid something like that happened to any of us where a child of ours was accidentally killed. Do we then go and put her in a trash bag and put duct tape on her mouth and dump her in a swamp? Dump her in a swamp. In a plastic trash bag. What. The. Fuck. I can’t speak for others and can only speak for myself but I would rather slash my wrists and kill myself than to do this to a child of mine. Oh, and let’s not forget now that right after her child dies, she felt the need to go party and just didn’t have the time to call the authorities to let them know her child was missing. A month later the child was reported missing. A month later? Christ, this is just unfathomable.

Casey I don’t know what happened but you’re fucking guilty as hell of something gone very awry and it cost your daughter her life. Own up to it. You and your clan. Because that mother and father of yours are just as suspicious and guilty as you are.

I’m disgusted. I can’t say I fully blame the jurors because they have to convict based on the letter of the law and because the prosecution overreached by going for the death penalty, the real loser here was Caylee who never got justice.

People are outraged just like they were when OJ failed to be convicted. We all knew the bastard was guilty and yet he walked away a free man. Or did he? Remember how his life changed after that? He was like the walking plague that no one wanted to have anything to do with. People spit at him in the streets and called him murderer to his face. He wrote a book that went nowhere and shame on the publishing house that printed it. He’s an invisible man, a pariah, that no one acknowledges and is an outcast in our society. I think the same fate will find its way into Casey Anthony’s and her parents’ life. And well deserved. Well fucking deserved. And just so you know Casey, storyteller that you are, I for one will not buy your book and put money in your pocket to hear your side of your sorry-ass story. You partied after your daughter went missing girl. That’s just not right. That you were molested and so you were not in your right state of mind? Bullshit. Don’t cop out on that card. That was your daughter. That was your blood. She loved you. She trusted you. She believed in you. And you failed her with flying colors.

I’m disappointed that this whole fiasco of yours did not turn out differently but do I want revenge for your daughter’s death as many want and as one radio caller said this morning, “I hope she hangs herself from the guilt or someone out there does the same to her as she did to her child.” No. I don’t believe in revenge or an eye for an eye type of payback because then we become no better than you. I will let life, karma, God deal with you and believe me when I tell you no one leaves this life without paying their dues. And you and your clan have a big debt to pay. A debt in the form of a beautiful little girl who trusted all of you as her caretakers and to simply do just that – take care of her. And all of you failed miserably. Justice will be paid. Of that I’m sure.

So are you free? Well, now that's relative isn't it? You can walk away from jail, from authority-given justice, but you can't walk away from yourself and what you did and what you know. You'll always carry that with you. Every day. Every night. Good luck with that and I wish I could say peace be with you. But I can't. I just can't.
