Justice?

Two posts in one day!  Since I sat down to write, I might as well...

 

 

Do I recap the Casey Anthony case?  An early 20's mother, who, it seems, did away with her 2-year-old daughter three years ago.  Lots of evidence, including not reporting her daughter was missing for a month, points to her guilt.  I, as well as most people, it seems, believe she is  guilty.  Today she was was acquited, most likely because the prosecution did not make its case.

Many are saddened, disheartened by the verdict, and feel that Caylee did not get justice.  Caylee did not get justice three years ago when she was murdered.  The justice of today is not about Caylee, but about the rest of us not getting the satisfaction of a heinous misdeed being punished.  It may be a travesty of justice, but not for the little girl...for our own need for revenge.   (Do I sound like the Barbara that supports the death penalty?)

 

 

Too harsh for people who are heartbroken over a senseless death?  Maybe.  But the dead never really get justice.
