Word for Word: Letters to Casey Anthony

They tell her she is beautiful, send her money, pledge their loyalty.
Two years since Casey Anthony was arrested and charged with murdering her toddler, Caylee, in Orlando, court documents released by prosecutors show that she has received hundreds of letters from people all over the country.
Almost all of them are flattering. One man offered to give her sailing lessons. Another told her she looked better with short hair. Another wrote her a poem: "Our lips press gently; the sun shines gold. Drops of rain surround us, my heart is sold."
Anthony is not the first to experience this kind of adulation. Scott Peterson, on death row in California for murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, in 2002, also receives checks toward his commissary account from admirers.
Like Peterson's case, Anthony's has drawn worldwide attention, partly because the case has had so many twists and turns. The attractive young mother failed to tell police about her missing daughter for weeks, then accused a nanny of kidnapping. Six months later, in December 2008, Caylee's body turned up in the woods a few blocks from her home. By that time, the little girl's face had been on the cover of People magazine twice.

Why the attraction?
Does one think if one is pretty they are less evil?
I like how this reporter put an excerpt from CA in here as well...not all letters are support letters...ICA has admirerers and yes, haters...JMHO
My only wish is that she wake one day and for once in her rotten life, tell the truth!
Justice for Caylee
:doh: . It truly appears that he is doing everything for the very first time in this case and that he is doing 100% of it himself!! :help:
