I never thought there would be another OJ debacle...that it was just a fluke thing and the justice system is just fine. I really am in disbelief. I got an email that my tuition is going up in September 7% and I can barely afford it as it is. For the first time I sincerely considered quitting law school. What's the point? Lawyers are considered low life pond scum; jokes about not expecting much from 12 people not smart enough to get out of jury duty etc.
I didn't think this would bother me so much.
I'm angry. I'm angry that Baez and Mason will be getting publicity and this is what people will relate to in terms of lawyers - sleaze and zero integrity.
I do not believe that out of the 12 jurors NOT ONE connected the dots to guilt and had any nads to stand by his/her convictions.
I am angry that Judge Perry disallowed the state to excuse juror #4 for cause or use their peremptory because she was black and that he seemed willing to allow jurors to serve that had deadlines WAY too close to the end date for trial. Justice for Caylee should not be rushed because someone's got a cruise planned and he should know by know that things always take longer than planned. I feel that if the jurors disagreed and after a lengthy deliberation found her guilty they'd have to put in more time for the penalty phase. I really believe the jury didn't give a rip about that effed up family and in the end just wanted out of there.
I'm angry that Judge Perry bent over backwards for Baez...that he would not allow the jurors to smell the contents of that can.
I feel like the state was precluded from offering more evidence because of time constraints. I wish he would have gagged the defense team.
I have been angry with the Anthonys all along but now I'm really ticked at them. George, Cindy, Lee...be careful what you wish for because Thursday she's going to be all yours. But don't be shocked when you are the most hated family in America as you feed from the gravy train of Caylee's murder. You created your monster, all of you, and I hope having her back in your lives is your worst nightmare.
Well that's my rant. Glad I could vent. I feel deeply sorry for all the law enforcement officers and the prosecution team who worked so hard for Caylee. If I feel this badly, I imagine they are dry heaving.
