No need for apologies. ::offers Zack cookie::

I was sorely tempted to rant myself -- those jurors clearly had their own agendas which did NOT involve justice for a poor murdered 2 year old child.

At least in the OJ Simpson case, the victims' families cared enough for their dead loved ones to fight to get some measure of truth and justice (in the form of civil suits). Unfortunately, no one in Caylee's family was (or is) willing to stand up or seek the truth for her. That was left for caring strangers like the prosecutors and law enforcement.

My only consolation (and hope) is that like OJ Simpson, Casey Anthony (being the narcissistic sociopath that she is) will not be able to stay out of trouble forever and will end up in prison one way or another. >_>

I'm trying not going to brood about this anymore. There's more important (and enjoyable) things in life. ^_^

Yep, I agree wholeheartedly that Casey Anthony will pay her debt to society one way or another. Karma, baby. ^_^v

Miss you tons, Hydra -- any chance you'll be coming to Yaoicon this year? ^_~

Great to hear from you!

No chance of YaoiCon, but I'm headed to Otakon at the end of the month.

...and now that it's "acceptable" to murder unborn children and the elderly...

Point of clarification: Murdering one's 2-year-old child is not the same as making the legally protected choices I suspect you are referring to here.

(Sorry, Hydra -- can't let that one go unchallenged. >_<)

No it's not the same, hence the 'unborn' part.
But abortion is murder nonetheless. ;)

Wrong again. According to U.S. law, it's a legally protected medical procedure by which cells are removed from a women's body by her own choice. Whether you believe it's murder is irrelevant to me, and I daresay to a lot of other people on Hydra's friends list whom you ambushed with your unsolicited political opinions.

Now, can we please get back to what's really important: hot guys having angsty sexy fun times? ^^;;

No one was forcing you to read my opinion.

anyway, see you next chapter madam hydra. :)

If I didn't have fictional characters to torture and video game enemies to shoot, who knows how I would work out my frustration? :P

1.) Sorry to necro
2.) The prosecution didn't strike me as professional. Given how many innocent people have been executed because the prosecutors tried them when they didn't have real evidence or due to prejudice, confidence that you have proof isn't enough. You have to have a lot more than what they had (at best it was circumstantial). Their behavior was also snide and not professional as per how lawyers should act (you shouldn't laugh at the guy giving arguments even if the case is ridiculous.)
3.) Given that a.) mothers who accidentally kill their children are also given flak b.) that dysfunctional people often try to ignore problems in hope that it will just go away c.) that it is impossible to determine how she died it's wholly possible that Kaylee accidentally died, and that Casey a.) panicked and tried to cover it up in the hopes it would go away and b.) when she finally realized it wouldn't she figured that if she made up some story people would pity her rather than prosecute for child abuse and negligence
4.) You need concrete proof, and it is worse to set a guilty man free than to convict an innocent man. The prosecution pushed for the death penalty when they lacked proof. if they exclusively tried the manslaughter they would have had a better case.
