Well, I feel she is guilty of something. I think/feel she has done something quite horrible, and for that I am angry and hope she does face justice.
However, I have to say that I have had conflicting emotions throughout the entire case. One day I'm all for throwing her in a jail and melting the key, even though of course I support and would defend our constitution and the rights granted. I don't know what it is about this case, though, but it has me completely divided in what I think will happen.
I am a Christian. I think of myself as a simple Christian--no denomination to claim, just the Bible. And I've come to really study forgiveness in the Christian ideal and what God truly expects of us. I don't think that God wants us to forgive as in rewarding evildoers, and He doesn't expect us to expose ourselves to someone who has hurt us. I do think that He wants us to try to forget the true hatred that is easy to feel in certain cases, and I feel that hatred in any case involving an innocent child being hurt.
So I'm rambling, but I'm finding my feelings hard to identify. I do not support her in terms of wanting to pat her on the head and let her off with a slap on the wrist for whatever she has done. But I also see a lot of broken parts in her, and I have not been able to conjure up true hatred. I've felt disgust, anger, and exasperation toward her. I've felt extremely angry at her constant lies. But I feel pity also.
I see Casey as being horribly in over her head right now. She's messed up somehow, and in some way the baby has paid the ultimate price. I think she's lost and I think she's scared and I think that she has no idea what to do. That doesn't make up for Caylee's death, and I don't intend to say that it does. But I also know that sometimes the action of a single moment can ruin MANY lives. I feel sorry for anyone who does suffer that.
I've heard and thought and puzzled over the chloroform issue. I am totally confused because I had felt in my heart that whatever happened was a horrible mistake, and the chloroform is a bad omen.
Sigh--sorry I'm not clear at all. I don't support Casey or what she's done, and I do not support the way she and her family have handled things to this point. I hope that one day we'll wake up and see the ending of the story like a Hollywood twist--Caylee indeed alive and there is an impossible convulted plot/conspiracy, but I know that will not happen. So I'm just left waiting with dread to see the final answers.
Again, I don't support her actions. I think she should and will pay for a very long time for a heinous act. But I do feel sorry for her. Not as sorry as I feel for Caylee, of course, and please don't try to point out that Caylee is the one who has suffered because I do not dispute that and I do not put Casey's feelings over that. But if you're asking about Casey, I do think she is suffering and I think she'll face a lot more suffering. I hope that I can pray and honestly mean the prayers that I pray for her.
Hope this makes sense because I really feel I've talked in a circle until I'm tied in a knot! lol
