I'm a clueless wonder too~ CW and when I read the headline I thought "oh did someone off Casey Anthony?" I've seen several crimes; just random crimes in FL and I always think the same thing: Did someone off her...then I feel disappointed that it wasn't her. I know, that's awful but hey. Aquittal does not Equal Innocense! OT sorry but wanted to share that; does anyone else think this when they read FL crime or news? Or is it just me; still wishing for some type of justice for little Caylee.
" ...
Aquittal does not Equal Innocense! ...."
If acquittal does not
equal innocence what does? Perhaps some universal meeting of
all minds agreeing on the single question of innocent or not innocent? Acquittal or conviction is society's way to lay to rest the issue of guilty vs. not guilty in all that is
practical, it doesn't mean innocence in the
exact sense of the word, but it's
functionally equal to it, and the two are a
distinction without a difference based on semantics and in favor of an argument for it's own sake as an alternative to the idea of proving culpability or not based on evidence not merely opinions through a process we can all (or almost all) agree with and support and that we all are nevertheless bound to legally and morally, for when it comes simply to opinions, people will always disagree on just about anything under the sun as long as we have the breath, available time and the inclination to do so.
Where
Michelle is the real issue in this particular thread, I still lament that if DS is culpable then he still hasn't been made accountable for his crime, if somebody else is culpable he/she/they haven't been found, that
Michelle herself hasn't been found, and by now I particularly and primarily lament that I don't see anywhere I look any
practical efforts to make the police accountable for their work, be that
past, present or future, that there seem to be no
practical strategy to change the trajectory of this case above and beyond that which might occur by mere chance and general wishful thinking, and where to this date this case remains a failure upon a failure on top of yet more failures, I can scarcely imagine the
horror that must be to those that have been touched by this tragedy up-close and personal.
