This is my first time posting on this blog and the subject matter is of a rather serious nature. I wanted my first posting to consist of something kind of funny, satirical, but we'll have to work on that for next time.
The case of Casey Marie Anthony and her adorable, angelic faced, little daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. This has gotten a lot of press and I'm certain there are comments, blogs, articles all over the net regarding this case which was publicized as much as the O.J. Simpson trial. In case you haven't heard of the case here is a edited brief summary:
Little darling angel Caylee Marie Anthony, born August 9, 2005 went "missing" from her home June 2008 The mother, Casey Marie Anthony didn't report this until 31 days later, July 2008. During this period that she didn't report her daughter missing, Casey was partying it up, dancing and out with boyfriends and friends. My cat was missing for about 8 hours and I drove all over the neighborhood whistling and calling his name; most of us would do this for our animals...what about our child?
Due to her parents pressuring Casey to see their granddaughter, Casey finally advised investigators that her daughter was kidnapped by Zanny the Nanny, a non-existent nanny. Casey took investigators on a wild goose chase through Universal Studio Offices, supposedly taking them to her office job there. She finally admitted that she lost her job several years before; her parents weren't even aware of this job loss as she lied to them.
Casey was arrested the day after, out on bail but arrested again for forgery, credit card fraud (a friend's) and petty theft (check fraud).
Caylee's skeletal remains were found in a forest near the Anthony home. Little Caylee was dosed with chloroform, suffocated with duct tape over her face, placed in a plastic laundry bag with her Winnie the Poo blanket and then dumped in the woods.
The trunk of the Anthony car had a bad smell, for which they found human hair in the trunk of the car and some remnants of chloroform. However, forensics couldn't verify this was Caylee's. Computer search on Casey's computer Internet search revealed a site displaying the use of chloroform and how to make it. Casey's x boyfriend also sent a photo depicting a man with a chloroform soaked rag to drug a woman. Casey's mother tried to lie and say this was her search, but they found through physical proof through work cohorts, managers, and her computer log-in information, that Casey's mother, Cindy was actually on the job and not at home when the Internet search took place.
The investigators found the companion other twin laundry bag in the Anthony house along with the rare duct tape discontinued around 2001, that was used on Caylee's face. Casey's mother, Cindy reported the Winnie the Pooh blanket was missing from the house before little Caylee's remains were found. They also found heart shaped stickers in the house; there was a heart shaped outline on the duct tape that was recovered from Caylee's mouth-area of her skull. Forensics lab couldn't capture this on photo and could no longer test this for finger prints.
Meanwhile, Casey was out on bail but arrested again for petty theft. Her bail was set high, and someone posted it anonymously; later it was found that Casey's parents George and Cindy, had signed a promissory note for the bond.
With all the evidence, Casey was arrested October 2008 for the undetermined death of her daughter.
Through Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, it was alleged that her dad George sexually molested her from an early age as well as her brother, Lee. However, Casey is on tape in jail, talking to her dad telling him he's the best dad ever and her brother the best.
The jury trial took place in Orlando, Florida, a different jurisdiction due to the press involved. The jurors were fully sequestered during that time from May 9, 2011 to July 5, 2011. During the trial with almost an even amount of men and women on the juror panel, they found out that Casey was a liar with made up stories, she delayed 31 days the reporting of her daughter's alleged kidnapping partying during those days in between, had boyfriends, and jail videos of her advising her family that they were the best parents, with emphasis on her dad; then through her attorney Jose Baez, accused him of sexual molestation as well as her brother. They were informed of the duct tape, the laundry bag, the chloroform, yet on July 5, 2011, this jury found Casey Marie Anthony NOT GUILTY of 1st degree murder, aggravated man slaughter, and aggravated child abuse! She was accused of misdemeanor charges of misleading investigators, giving them false information, etc. etc.
The jury. The jury's reason for this ludicrous verdict is, the prosecutors couldn't prove what the crime was, so they couldn't determine the punishment. They stated they didn't think she was innocent and they were devastated by the verdict they had to choose, but there was no solid physical evidence as to how the crime occurred. Say what? We have a plastic laundry bag, duct tape, chloroform..so what if there is no forensics of the cause of the death...DUH, there were only skeletal remains of the angel. She died, whether the cause of death was suffocation due to the duct tape over her face or too much chloroform, there is a dead little girl.
Come on people! What does it take? Are you watching too many episodes of CSI thinking that the evidence and proof is supposed to be solved and all wrapped up by the end of the episode?
My proposal, each and every juror in each and every court all over the United States, needs to be tested for common sense, logic and reasoning, and IQ. Any IQ lower than around a 90 must be sent out the door; since IQ is identified as not what you actually learn but your capacity to learn. This can be accomplished simply through computerized testing of each and every juror. If they don't pass all of the tests, then out the door "you're dismissed, dumb ass". Well, maybe leave the "dumb ass" out..sorry about that but these jurors need to be ashamed of themselves. Changes need to be made!
