Not Guilty. Wait, What?

It's been quite a while....
Well, the Casey "OJ" Anthony trial has been quite a doozie. I, for one, am extremely upset with the verdict.
   For those who do not know Casey Anthony was accused of killing her 3 year old daughter Caylee Anthony in June of 2008. Starting around mid-June 2008 Casey's parents started asking to see their granddaughter, with Casey almost always replying that she was with her nanny, Zanny, at theme parks, or the beach, etc. Yes you heard that right, Zanny the Nanny. You Know, if I didn't know any better I would have thought she maid that up, oh wait... Zanny actually does exist, her name is Zanaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, she lives in an apartment complex in Orlando, but get this, she has never even met Caylee, or Casey, or her parents, or her friends...
   Things got weird when Casey's parents received a letter  saying her car was impounded. So her dad went down to the lot to get her car. He and the worker there noticed an awful smell coming from the trunk of the car, and when they looked, they found nothing but claimed the back smelled like rotting flesh.
   So after this event, Case decided that a month is long enough and that she should probably report her daughter missing. The police took her in for questioning, and when they got to the question about her place of employment, she said  Universal Studios. So the cops took her to Universal to have her show them where her office was. Casey kind of led them around for awhile then finally admitted she was lying. It went like this:
   "Ms. Anthony, please show us to your office."
   after a while of meandering around...
   "Ms. Anthony please show us where you work."
   "Oh, you wanted to know where I worked? I thought you were asking me....oh never mind I made this all up. You're all on Punk'd. Ashton? Come out here and tell 'em...Yeah that's a lie too. What? You're arresting me? Why?"
   I will admit that may not be exactly what she said, but it's pretty darn close. So finally in December of 2008, Caylee Anthony's remains were found in a wooded area a few blocks from her home. Fast forward to now, here is the evidence against her:
   She lies to the police constantly.
   She has been in and out of jail for other small crimes unrelated to this, throughout this whole ordeal.
   A decomposed hair found in the back of Casey's car matches Caylee's decomposed hair on her skeleton.
   An air sample from the trunk of the car shows traces decomposition and chloroform.
   Their was an exorbent amount of searches on her computer about "neckbreaking" "chlorform" and "death".
   The same types of laundry bags, duct tape, and plastic bags found at the crime scene, were also in her house. As well as Caylee's Winnie the Pooh blanket, which was missing from the home and found at the crime scene with the body.
   And the Icing on the cake: a journal entry dated June 21, which if in 2008, is a few days after the supposed murder, "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out OK. I completely trust my own judgment and know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see – This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow– I've made new friends that I really like. I've surrounded myself with good people – I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change." 
   The defense tried to say this was from 2003, before Caylee was born, but the diary in question was not manufactured until 2004.
All of this spectacularly incriminating evidence was obviously not enough for the outstanding jury that was put together for this trial because, after deliberating for two days, the only charge they found her guilty of was lying to police. It calls for up to four years in prison but since Casey has already spent more than two in lock-up, they might just let her walk. Unbelievable. She deserves capital punishment, and she may walk. We will find out on July 7.

on an unrelated side-note, Big thank you goes out to Steven for keeping this site going since some other writers, myself included, kind of slacked-off for awhile.
