Now the circus will begin again!!

Those that have been with us for a very long time know me as the children. One of the reasons the Caylee Anthony case made me so upset was because of the complete lack of caring her mother seemed to show. I know every one displays emotion differently and everyone reacts differently but not reporting her child missing for a month and then not participating in searches or even acting like she cared just boggled my mind. For months the country watched riveted as information about this woman came out. Stolen checks, lies, partying days after her baby disappeared. The media went wild because the country was outraged.


The time has come for the trial because during that firestorm little Caylee's body was found and evidence seemed to point right back to her mother. Once again the circus has started up and this time I have to say it kind of ticks me off. CNN has had coverage daily of jury selection. Potential jurors are being dismissed because of reason ranging from the believable to the crazy. One even joked about a potential book coming from a jury duty experience on facebook. I mean really? You haven't even heard anything yet.


I am all about justice. I think that certain crimes deserve the maximum punishment. I wavered on this for a very long time and then I had my children and I knew that if someone had murdered my child or someone I loved there would be no better punishment in my mind then death. This is a capital case so the death penalty is on the table as I think it should be.


I also though feel compassion for the rest of the Anthony family. They lost a sweet baby girl that year and have had to deal with the media and the fact that one of their own is on trial for it. They deserve some privacy. It is them that I think deserve some respect. Sure some of the supposed news may be true of an abusive father and demanding mother but that alone did not create the woman Casey Anthony turned out to be. My husband comes from a family of 7. All raised in the same family and every single one as different as can be. Parents play a part but the choices a child makes also plays a part. Yes they will have to take some personal responsibility and I am sure over the past couple years since this happened they have battled some demons. They are going to sit through a trial of their daughter for the murder of their granddaughter. They should be able to do that is relative peace. It is for them that I wish the circus would back off a bit. I know it is a fruitless hope but a girl can always hope right?

Delusional much?

So I have mentioned Casey Anthony a few times. I will probably continue to talk about it until after her trial. I, like many in the country, was riveted by the coverage. I mean how could a mother not report her child missing for 31 days? Why would she be partying if her child was missing? Who was the 'nanny'? What did Casey do for work? Did she drug her baby to death? So many questions arose as each day passed with Caylee missing and no end in sight. Gracie and Maggy can attest that I was consumed by this case in a way no other has affected me. I watched the coverage nightly, praying for a good out come, sensing the worst as each day passed. Then Caylee was found and more questions emerged.

I personally believe she did it. I think she got tired of being a mom and she wanted to be a teen again, partying and responsibility free. I think she should be executed. In my book the worst crime you can commit is hurting a child.

When I read this story tonight I was just shocked. This lawyer seems to be one of the most delusional people ever. Seriously! "'Have a chilling' effect on coverage"? Does he not realize that this is a national case and no matter where the trial is held it will be covered from every angle and picked apart on every news show imaginable? The public wants to hear the truth and they want this woman to face justice. Sure this may be judgmental of me but as I said hurting a child is the worst thing a person can do.

Death!!!!!

Okay so I am definitely a lover not a fighter but sometimes..... While this opinion will earn me flack I am sure, I happen to be for the death penalty.

The prosecutors in the Casey Anthony murder trial have finally grown a pair and decided to pursue the death penalty. I think it is about dang time. Any one who kills a child whether their own or another should not be allowed to breath. Harsh, sure, even cruel probably. Children are the only innocents left in the world and they darn well deserve some old fashioned justice.

I hope they pursue the death penalty in the Melissa Huckaby case. As soon as they included the 'rape by instrument' charge I decided I would happily volunteer to flip the switch.

I think honestly serial child rapists and child murderers should be automatic capital cases. I am all about forgiveness and growth and chances, I really am, but some circumstances just do not deserve forgiveness.
