We live in a society where CSI Miami and Law and Order court drama shows are seen as the gospel. People look at shows like that and wonder where is the “Smoking gun.” People are convicted on circumstantial evidence every single day..Maybe Susan Smith should have been found Not Guilty, she could have used the same defense..”Hey the car rolled into the lake by accident, I didn’t report it because my step-father molested me” she would have walked too. Our justice system is seriously SCREWED UP. people don’t get it when someone says “Reasonable doubt” the word is REASONABLE..no one reasonably parties like they won the freakin lottery when their child dies, doesn’t matter if its an accident or not NO ONE parties when their child dies..and the list goes on and on..the evidence was OVERWHELMING. I wonder if the same people who are coming to Casey’s defense think that OJ was innocent too
Hannity’s friend Kitty Simpson came on to disagree with him. She watched the trial and made the astute point that there was more evidence against Casey than against Scott Peterson.
Peterson was convicted of killing his pregnant wife based on circumstantial evidence: affair ; lies; took his boat out on ~ the day his wife disappeared ; concrete in the garage- seemingly molded into a weight; body buried at sea; and it washed up decomposed, so a cause of death was not ascertainable. Peterson is on death row.
IIRC, those praising this Anthony acquittal did not say, “but we don’t have a cause of death, so how can we convict Peterson of murder?”. Or, “just because he’s a slut doesn’t mean he killed her. Maybe it was an
accident. Maybe some random person did it.”
We have as you say dumbed down the culture so much - and thrown so much ‘”reality TV” at people - that the ability to think logically is disappearing. If you don’t see it happen, it didn’t.
Well, I do think Dexter should take care of Ms. Anthony. ;o)
