As I'm sure you have all heard, and if you haven't, you must live under a rock yesterday, Casey Anthony the 25 year old "tot mom" charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse of her three year old daughter, Caylee was acquitted of these charges. She was found guilty of "giving officers false information"....a simple misdemeanor.
I had not followed this case closely, but began watching the news about mid-way through her trial. I think that it is safe to say that everyone most of us feel that this woman is as guilty as they come.
I'm sorry if this post offends anyone, but if your three year old goes missing and you wait a MONTH to report this to authorities you are guilty of child abuse. Plain and simple. Not to mention if your child has been missing for a MONTH and you finally work up the nerve to call authorities and report it... then three days later you run out and get a tattoo reading "bella vita" which translates to "beautiful life" you must not be much concerned about the whereabouts of your child.
When the not guilty verdict was read, my jaw dropped. How on Earth did this monster get away with a crime like this? This is a perfect example of why there are major flaws with our judicial system. Reminds me of OJ Simpson all over again.
Last night, at 9pm, we vowed to turn on our porch lights in memory of baby Caylee. I encourage all of you to join in and turn yours on also.
