Golly! What blew the margins?
Looks ok now. At least to me it does.

Golly! What blew the margins?
I will never ever get over what KC did. I'll never ever get over the prosecution doing their best for a jury that didn't care. I'll never ever get over how hard everyone worked to get some sort of justice for Caylee only to hear 'Not guilty' on all accounts on that miserable verdict day.
No amount of theorising, analysing and journaling is helping heal this hurt. It is so raw and so painful still. It seems a bit overly dramatic to say this but I think I'll look back at this verdict when I'm 95 years old and say "That is one of the hardest things I've had to digest in all my life".

This....all of it.
I'm basically a lurker, but these words just resonate too much to not also post.
While I realize every day that mothers kill their children, this case is so different because seemingly no one in this killer's circle cares about what she did-- her parents & brother lied & covered up for her, her father's 'booty call' (RC) exploited or even possibly lied, her friends & boyfriend seemed passive about the whole situation, the jury was just unaffected, the defense has no ethics, etc.
It's almost like a magnet in the universe pulled all these heartless, stupid, ignorant, passive, manipulative, self-absorbed people into one connected & interwoven existence.
Unfortunately an innocent little baby was accidentally thrown in-- Caylee-- and she paid the ultimate price.
I truly believe that all unfortunate actions have a learning purpose-- I hope one day I can understand what we're all supposed to learn from this monster's actions.
\\Vent over!
Your version of "alive" is far different than most. Being incarcerated, whether it be as OJ is, or as Casey is; entombed in her hide-out, trapped with her mentally unstable mind, the reputation of being a liar, a murderer, a thief, a promiscuous female who uses people to obtain what she wants and then kicks them to the curb - well, that isn't being "alive" at all.
That's called "existing".
As for "celebrated" - which does the name "OJ" first bring to mind, football or murder? What good is celebrity status when OJ can't reap the benefits of such a title and hasn't for many years? It didn't save him from prison; check his current address.
Casey Anthony will never be a celebrity in the minds of normal thinking, morally functioning society. Sure, she'll have her few groupies who are cut of the same low-life cloth she exhibits, but again, her life is basically over; she'll never recover from this, ever. No sane male is ever going to want to marry her or procreate with her. No sane female is ever going to want to befriend her because Casey can't be trusted.
Neither OJ nor Casey Anthony are really "alive", nor will they ever be.
Isnt he in prison? He is still celebrated? I have seen no evidence of this at all.

You have seen no evidence of what? That he is still alive, that he's in prison, or he's still a celebrated athlete? Notice how the first wiki entry mentions his athletic career? And yes, he is still in prison.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson
Orenthal James "O. J." Simpson (born July 9, 1947), nicknamed "The Juice", is a retired American college track athlete, college and professional football player. Simpson was the first professional football player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season, a mark he set in 1973. While five other players have passed the 2,000 rush yard mark, he stands alone as the only player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a fourteen-game season (professional football changed to a sixteen-game season in 1978). He holds the record for the single season yards-per-game average, which stands at 143.1 ypg. Simpson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
In September 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged with numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping.[3] In 2008, he was found guilty[4][5] and sentenced to thirty-three years' imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years without parole.[6] He is serving his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada.[7]

Well, the fact that he is a criminal does not and cannot change his life history can it? He was an athlete and all his records still stay the same. His reputation has changed and not to his benefit. He is not a celebrated athlete by any means.
Even Adolf Hilter's accomplishments are listed in his biography. Does that make him a 'celebrated leader'?
We can argue till the cows come home. It's a matter of opinion; I think he is still considered a celebrated athlete, you and some others do not.
cel·e·brat·ed verb (used with object) to make known publicly; proclaim
I believe he fits that defintion.

I was looking at the above top secret 31 days time line
Just a thought, she leaves the body in the trunk
Night of June 16th-June 18th
The body is in the play house June 18th pm- June 20th. She didn't go back home June 19th at all (out if the trunk out of her mind and all)
June 20th she's back at the house for a long enough stretch of time to retrieve the body and place it in the woods.
She's away from home all weekend. Celebrating with the hot body contest.
Monday she's back checking on the remains and throwing out anything murder related. She runs out of gas.
