Was Justice Served for Caylee Marie Anthony?




Yesterday, 12 jurors found beyond the preponderance of all the evidence that in the murder case of the State of Florida vs Casey Marie Anthony, the mother of this child, Casey Marie Anthony was "not guilty" of a homicide in the death of her daughter.  How can it be that 12 jurors came to this verdict with just 10 hours of deliberations in a trial that lasted 6 weeks, not asking to review any of the 360  pieces of evidence including transcripts and videos that the prosecution presented that show in details, a mother lying all the while knowing what happened to her child.

Caylee Marie Anthony
I am unable to get my head around this verdict.  For those of you who aren't familiar with this case here are some of the highlights that the state presented on behalf of the 2 1/2 year child, Caylee Marie Anthony.  This child was missing 31 days before her mother reported her missing.  Actually, it was her grandmother who contacted the police.  Her mother continually lied about her whereabouts when she spoke with her own mother saying that she was with the nanny. During these 31 days she said her job at Universal Studios as an Event Planner was taking her out of town to Jacksonville and another Florida City on business and that the nanny and Caylee was with her.  Later, the police found out that she was lying about working there, lying about being in Jacksonville and the other city, lying about the nanny (there was no nanny).  As a matter of fact, she left everyday to go to work for two years while she was living with her parents who thought she was working at Universal Studios when in fact she was never working at all. She was still in Orlando during this 31 days living with her boyfriend, shopping, partying, entering "hot body contests" and spending money stolen from her girlfriend. She also got a tattoo, "Bella Vita" the Beautiful Life all the while living a life without her daughter.

So, ask yourself this, Where was Caylee during the 31 days AND some odd 4 months following when Texas EquSearch sent 4,200 volunteers to search for this missing child who was still considered alive and who's remains were found 4 months later in a garbage bag in an area that was swampy less than a mile from their house?  All that was left were skeletal remains that had been chewed on by animals.  I guess we will never know the truth about what happened to this child, who lost her life at 2 1/2 years of age.  You tell me how a mother/caregiver who is supposed to protect her child NEVER calls the police to tell them her daughter is kidnapped by a nanny for 31 days and spins a web of lies that take the police on a wild goose chase searching for a child that was more than likely already dead gets away with that!  My mind is still reeling from this as is the many of other people who have followed this trial hoping that justice would be served for Caylee.  Sadly, it just did not happen.  So, a little girl who's remains were found in a swampy dump went back to where they were first found with no justice for the little girl who was thrown away like a bag of trash!  Was this case any different than the video shown above?  Child abuse is child abuse.  You can decide for yourself.

I hope all of you will say a prayer for little Caylee Marie Anthony tonight...the little girl who was wrapped in trash bags and left for garbage.  "All of you who rode and continue to ride the waves of fame at the expense of this child or any other child who dies in the process will have a price to pay".  Was and is it worth it?

  1. Perfectly said, Kristie. Just beyond comprehension for anyone who has loved a child. Glad you are back to your blog. Take it easy for a while longer. I'll be in Plano around 12-13 August for a family get together. Could we do coffee?
