Justice?

Today, I'm disgusted and ashamed of our country's legal system, and more so disappointed in the collective intelligence of particular jurors in Florida.

Any grade school student could've easily decided the guilt of that despicable mother. That whole family is a sick, dysfunctional and sad representation of American values. 

And I'm disgusted in Geraldo Rivera, as he, in taking the rotten-to-the-core families side for Fox News, presents as his his number one piece of 'evidence' the simple fact Casey Anthony was never shown to be an abusive mother. As a father of a 15 year old daughter, I know when she is missing for 30 minutes, not to mention 30 days. How can anyone reasonably say Casey Anthony was not an abusive mother when she doesn't report her baby daughter missing– then lies about it later? It seems when one is as desperate as Geraldo to give murderers a pass, they will grasp at actually ANYTHING to justify pure evil behavior.

And others seemed to think it wasn't Casey's fault because she grew up in such a dysfunctional family. I suppose it really wasn't Hitler's fault either, or Osama's either, as they, TOO, were products of their upbringing.

And shame, SHAME on those jurors, who were not smart enough, or brave enough to connect the huge dots between the obvious. How cowardly to run away from those asking for accountability not to even explain themselves. And shame on her attorneys, who in broad daylight popped the many corks of a victory champagne celebration within public view, while a baby lay murdered and our justice system has failed in convicting her murderer.

In my opinion, this is an even worse injustice than the OJ trial, as there was evidence tampering in that trial, and after all, OJ's actions, while magnificently wrong, represented a cultural retribution based on jealousy. In this case, a young child is brutally slain, her mouth and nose sealed with duct tape, in all probability while she was alive, and her body discarded in a swamp, as one would worthless trash — by her mother.

It's a sad day for justice in America.
