Curious George vs. Casey Anthony

Today at 2 I was browsing through my FB account when I got top secret messages from some friends who knew I was interested in the Casey Anthony case. And NOT interested as in Nancy Grace, stand in line for hours to get inside courtroom and watch 24 news networks kind of interested. more of a ...ok so I have had to hear about this story for 3 years now so what's going on with it kind of interested. So the verdict is in. Not guilty. Alot of us are outraged. Knee jerk reactions and gut feelings pervade the airways and we get angry that this mean looking, dark haired mother witch has probably gotten away with murdering her daughter or disposing of her body after an accidental death.
Luckily, in our country, we are not supposed to convict someone due to feelings, knee jerk reactions and gut instincts. The prosecution never had enough evidence to link Casey directly to murder or even accidental death of her daughter. There was a TON of circumstancial evidence, all clearly showing a slippery slope of how her daughter may have died. Computer searches, weird after child goes missing tattoos, not telling anyone her daughter was missing, strange sudden recallings of incestial family ties. More of it popped up - body parts, duct tape residue, and the infamous smell of death. Unfortunately too much time had passed and alot of physical evidence was lost forever in the woods.

However, in the end we have to relent and listen to the arrogant bloated roosters that are Casey's attorneys that are on tv right now, Right? No, you can join me in my quest for sanity and flip to public television , where due to our wonderful free antennae service, my kids can watch Curious George and eat a snack. They can unknowingly enjoy a Mom who decided to turn off the trial, and watch the little monkey make, yet again, another mess. If the real life grown ups are going to act like pre-civilized creatures (the media and lawyers), I'd rather watch a cute one whose owner wears a yellow hat.
