Hi long time lurker checking in.
I'm curious, ever since the jury selection has began I get feeling less and less like I can face watching this. I mean some of the people are struck out of whim (I know that's what the strikes are for), I'm sure they have their reasons, like not getting to the magic number 12. :innocent: However it is some like the woman they kept on because of race that said she couldn't make the death penalty decision the prosecution tried to strike. Why is that person on?? Or did I miss and they managed to get rid of her? It was so early how could they cry race when they had no idea if the next 6 chosen would be Hispanic or AA.
I feel more and more what we have down her is a legal system not a justice system. My heart cries out for justice for Caylee but what chance does she have?
I've followed since day 31 and the reason I follow a bit today wan I've been off sick. Yesterday I couldn't bring myself to watch. Does anyone else feel this way? I mean I've got to the point of despair in what is right happening compared to what is legal happening. For example the state was over ruled when the defense said "there may be no crime" excuse me, a child is dead, if only due to neglect and that is a crime!! We are having a trial for a dead baby, there was a crime. OK they may be able to bend time travel trough a wormhole to another universe where Casey didn't do it, but someone is responsible for that babies death!
Sorry about the tirade, it's just I cringe at even following the forums right now. Anyone else like me out there and can anyone convince me there is justice in this somewhere?
Oh I agree it's exhausting. Simply exhausting. It is utterly unfathomable to me to see a group of grown adults basically volunteering to free a child murderer whom they KNOW is guilty.
Factor in the absurdity of ICA pushing this thing all the way to an actual trial and it is obscene. I don't even know how to feel or what could be done, but our system is a joke due to media/fame/money considerations and defense lawyers working "pro bono" simply to get famous.
I'll even say this - I do NOT care if she gets a fair trial or not. I care that she is convicted. That's it.
