A partial remedy to the Casey Anthony trial?

[MadScientist]

Why the F was this stupid case national news? Local news, sure, but there was no reason to waste weeks of national time following this case, regardless of the facts, regardless of the outcome. It wasn't that significant.

[QUOTE=JustinHarrell;596466]I think she tried to chloroform her to knock her out so she could party, but accidentally killed her. That's just my guess. If I was given free reign as judge, juror and executioner . . . I'd throw her behind bars for 15 years, whether exactly what happened was proved or not.

It was the crisis of the moment. This is what the 24/7 cable press does - they have to magnify a particular case because otherwise they'd have to cover boring and unimportant stuff like the country going bankrupt paying government, public union, and entitlement wages/benefits.

Just really a sad, sad deal. The media made this case pop and society is outraged. Unfortunately far, far too often children suffer violence at the hands of those they love and trust to keep them safe. We have a case where I live coming to trial soon (granted a change of venue because the poor woman could not receive a fair trial here) of a woman who beat her 3 yr. old to death and then burned her remains in a firepit in her back yard. When I read all the reports I felt physically sick.

I just try to keep in mind.........

"Justice isn't always served here on Earth or by man's hands"

Oddly, it seems that in the mind of a sociopath capable of beating her kid to death, burning her remains in the firepit would a logical step to try to hide the body and cover it up. It's the beating to death that makes me physically ill. How can you listen to your child scream for help and still kill her with your own hands? I know getting mad and all, but what she did when the kid was still alive makes me queasy.

Yup. And unemployment. And getting jobs back from overseas. And the declining wealth of the middle class. And immigration. And the achievement gap. And the dearth of science and technology students in this country. And unemployment. And alternative energy. And rising educational costs. And technology's intrusion into the work/life balance. And. And. And.

That depends on your perspective

In the womb, no one can hear you scream. It's better to slaughter them when they're still inside - it's legal, and a lot less noisy. Plus, you'll even be a noble hero to a lot of lefties.

Didn't know you were an abortion advocate. I'll have to remember that for next time it comes up. I don't know if you recall, but I'm personally against the practice myself.

That's right - If she slaughters her daughter two years earlier, then instead of a trial and three years' time served, Casey Anthony would probably get a reality TV show. Maybe now she'll get an MSNBC show. Ain't America great?

If she'd done it two years ago, she wouldn't have merited reality TV. You obviously haven't heard about the job offer she got. LOL!

Maybe I just had it backwards - she slaughters her daughter in womb and she gets on MSNBC ala Rachel Maddow. Chloroform her, duct tape her and toss her in a gully - reality TV. Gotta love it! Maybe the first episode can be entitled "Mommy, Mommy, help me I can't breath!" or "The Brave Little Toaster Gets Asphyxiated"

Defense lawyers are the veritable scum of the earth. Regardless, above anything else, she reported her kid missing 31 days AFTER she went missing! Come on! In Canada we just had a case last year where a mother had a debt owed to some people so they kidnapped the kid and killed her.
This is pathetic and hopefully the defense lawyer rots in hell!

Did that settle the debt? If so, I bet Casey Anthony wished she had scored the cash first. She gets the money and she saves herself four years in jail - Win, win!
