I understand it, it is an extremely emotionally charged case, it's hard to separate that from matters of law.
I really hesitated commenting on this thread for that very reason.
Let's face it, a beautiful little child has died and many want some one to pay the price, that's why the media and the prosecution inflame emotions with pictures.
Emotion makes sales, logic makes cents is the old saying.
At the moment, I *AM* emotional. I’m friggin’ furious.
But what led me to believe that Casey Anthony was guilty was NOT based on emotion. I’ve been listening to the depositions of her friends and family for the last 24 hours straight. I’ve been reading the cold-hard courtroom testimonials and pouring over mountains of evidence.
It is as a logical, thinking, rational person (NOT as an emotional, mob-ruled female) that I’ve come to the conclusion that Caylee was murdered by her own mother.
The emotion comes in NOW. When I watch a manipulative, psycopathic, baby-killer walk free - I am emotional.
There is now nothing to stop her from reproducing and hurting another baby. This jury has let a psychopath loose in society and she will hurt more people. She’s proven to herself that she can beat the system and now there is nothing to stop her from doing more damage.
And I firmly believe that there are other people of like-mind who are watching this trial and trying to figure out how to get away with their own murder. Fear of the law as a deterrent to crime is being erased and our society has lost just one more layer of protection from selfish psychopaths. (Don’t forget, it is one hallmark of a psychopath that they already believe that they’re smarter than everyone else.)
