Because we’re the same people who enjoy reading true crime and trial stories. It happens to be our choice and our taste.
“”If they could get at her, they would lynch her. We have seen it before and we will see it again””
Who and when?
“”After all they showed pictures or videos of her playing with Caley””
Yep and if you’re Geraldo Rivera, this is evidence of a devoted mother. Show us the pictures of her really taking care of her child...feeding her, bathing her, clothing her, taking her to parks, shopping with her, SWIMMING with her and on and on. There aren’t any!!!
Dead on right. If it wasn't Casey Anthony, we'd be seeing 24/7 coverage and media dissection of George Clooney's love life. Anything to avoid talking about the fact that we are being run by a tyrannical, seditious bunch of Communists. The majority of people in this country are in the same mindset as the people of Germany in the 1930s. "My neighbors disappeared? Oh, they probably just moved. Nothing like that would happen here."
I think to these people it’s nothing more than a reality show or a cop show like CSI. There’s little that’s realistic about them, but they’re made to feel part of the action.
The worst of them become legal sages among their group and pontificate without ever having been part of any of these processes (investigation, indictment, arrest, trial, finding (guilty or not guilty), sentencing/dismissal and incarceration.
Personally, I don’t find them all that much dumber than the so-called police and legal experts the media trot out to explain things to us.
That’s exactly what the cause of death was. Casey woke up one day, decided she had had enough and wrapped Caylee in duct take alive.
Cause of death: Asphyxiation.
Yes, that's the one.
Better a guilty person go free then toconvict n innocent person.
In the future she will screw up again, and not be so lucky!
This case has been like a big, gory traffic accident. You know that what has been seen can’t be unseen...but you look anyway.
That isn't the right question. It isn't just this little girl that America and the world get fixated on. Remember Natalie Holloway? Nicole Simpson?
We will be fed, electronically, one dead female after the other. The appetite is insatiable, and the delivery system is relentless and remorseless.
That is one reason I quit television about 12 years ago. Ain't been back since.
People are fascinated, because we each live difficult and very trying lives. But in this home, which looks fairly average, things turned tragically wrong.
We want to know exactly what happened, so we can know if it could happen in our particular family, or to someone in our extended family or to friends at work or in the neighborhood.
It is a very “micro level” human story.
Which is why I don't watch 'the boob tube' and haven't in decades. I believe I am a better man for it...

Thank you.
I hate snobby little articles like this and most of the snobby little replies I have read thus far.
If you don't understand why this was news, you do not understand the human condition.
Good theory. More escapism with a realty twist. Helps them look away from the car crash.
Me, I think it is ridiculous. Yea a kid is dead but the country is one the literal edge. We have bigger fish to fry.
Yikes!
one=on
Perfect!
Tail? LMAO....this INTELLECT meant tale. Good grief.
A sleezy defense attorney threw out some bald faced lying accusations with no intent to ever prove what he said. Does this make him some kind of hero for duping the jury with his total disregard for the truth or the facts?
Is this going to be the way justice for a victim is going to be tried in the future?
All you can do is criticize the author about one tiny misspelled word? Like you have never misspelled anything *rme*
The Powers-that-be simply would rather that We the People have as many Casey Anthony stories as possible...preferably far away in Florida or California -to examine in lurid detail...than to focus on the nonsense in DC.
