Can't believe she walked free.
Now she's off to Ibiza and Cavo Paradiso for the party season in Europe. |

brutal, but true assessment on how the case is less about how good our legal system worked and more about how it represents a crumbling society:
| quote: | ...Little Caylee Anthony was abused, possibly raped according to her own mother who claimed George Anthony was a child molester. She disappeared and her mother did nothing. She died a horrible death and her family hired lawyers. Her body was desecrated, thrown into a ditch like so much garbage and her mother will likely walk free at sentencing. How is this an endorsement of American justice?
That our legal system lets the guilty walk free is sad but arguably necessary for the maintenance of liberty. That our pundits can find cause for celebrating the release of a woman who in the best case scenario simply didn’t care that her daughter was molested then later kidnapped is disgusting. This is a tragedy, not a victory for freedom and America.
Casey Anthony got off because she worked the system. In a fair and impartial court system this happens. It’s too bad. But the worst part of this is the idea that we can take the denial of justice for a toddler who was brutally murdered and use it to pat ourselves on the back about what a great society we are.
Are we a great society because a young, damaged single mother who claimed her own father molested her left her daughter with him to go drinking? Are we a great society because we produce people who would rather go to wet t-shirt contests than look for their missing children? Are we a great society because our citizens try to frame innocent people for crimes they didn’t commit? Or are we a great society because people like that can find a way to get off?
The Casey Anthony verdict doesn’t endorse our criminal justice system; it exposes our crumbling society. The courts can’t always dispense justice, it is up to society to protect our children. We need to bring back public shaming, we need to bring back the idea of moral responsibility separate from legal responsibility. Some people lament that Casey Anthony will not be able to hold a job or go out with her friends or meet a decent man because of the public scrutiny of the trial. Caylee Anthony will never be able to do those things either.
The Anthony family deserves society’s scorn, not our philosophical justifications of why they aren’t in prison. Caylee Anthony paid the ultimate price for being born into a family of dysfunctional criminals who by their own admission lied to police again and again to cover up a crime they say they played no part in. Our justice system failed to hold them legally responsible, now it remains to be seen if our moral fiber is as easily deceived as our courts. |

Yeah, real good societies just stone people to death if they're suspicious of them. Maybe we should brand a giant M on her back. That'd be good for our society. To abandon the legal system would be to abandon justice altogether. That's a stupid article, no offense to you Kevin, but it's ludicrous to suppose that our justice system doesn't work just because it finds certain people who seem guilty to be innocent.
Think about what if she actually is innocent. Because nobody has proven otherwise, it's quite a jump to say that this shows a fault in the legal system. That article seems to basically suggest that any time a horrible crime happens, and there is a serious suspect, then that suspect should be punished without even bothering to have a trial.
Justice was served. Time to move on. |
