Except the only fishing Baez has done has been with a fishing pole. If he'd actually, you know, DO SOME WORK, he might be able to come up with a defense! And yes, LE should ignore the HUGE amount of circumstantial evidence to follow every little bitty trail on the very MINUTE possibility that someone else did this. They don't have the time or the manpower to chase down every bit of craziness in this case. My GOD, this case would take forever if they did and they surely would be deserving of promotions for doing it.
Fishing is NEVER okay. Fishing means the defense has nothing else and only wants to find something, ANYTHING to point at that distracts the jury from the truth. LE doesn't have time for that. LE only follows other leads when it's necessary. It's not their JOB to clear Casey Anthony, nor is it the state's job to clear her either. Now if something substantial enough came up to suggest someone else, they shouldn't ignore that, but NOTHING like that has happened in this case. And neither of them are myserious "keepers of data" that just want to put innocent people in prison.
Also, CASEY got herself into this, got in deep, and now she can't get out. I am tired of seeing people wanting to blame everyone else for where she is when SHE is the one who got herself there through all of the lies to police and everyone she talked to. Now if her parents want to hire a competent investigator to find another REAL suspect, they should do that on their own time, or Baez should be doing that for Casey. LE is doing their job thoroughly in continuing to investigate Casey. There is simply no good reason to keep going after Kronk or anyone else.
And of course, if people that believe she might be innocent also want to help them do that, then by all means, they should do that. If it can be miraculously proven that Casey didn't do it, I am all for that. SHOW ME THE PROOF THAT SHE DIDN'T DO IT. PLEASE, I BEG ANYBODY TO DO THAT. The reason so many people believe she did it is because there just isn't a SHRED of proof that she didn't, and she sure doesn't act like she's innocent or give anyone a reason to believe her one iota.
Plus, if she were innocent, SHE WOULD NOT STILL BE IN JAIL WITH A FLAILING DEFENSE. And hell, even her own defense just admitted that she probably killed Caylee but didn't dispose of the body, a total 360 from saying she's innocent and we'll see the proof at trial. The defense can go fishing all they want, I mean for criminee's sake they want freaking BENCH NOTES. They can't find proof in the ACTUAL forensics to set her free! All they want to do is character assassination and say it's "junk science". THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE!
The SA nor anyone else needs to hand walk the defense through this. They shouldn't just get an all access pass to whatever they want. The prosecution is STILL waiting for something, anything from the defense because they haven't received ZIP. Why aren't more people worried about that? Is that fair that the defense is holding back everything they have but the SA should just give them everything? How is that going to lead to justice here?
If people want real justice, they have to have faith in the ENTIRE system and stop villanizing ONE SIDE. No one is ever going to find justice in any case as long as he or she keeps blaming LE and SA for every little thing that goes wrong or isn't done right. I have total faith that they are dotting every T and every I and making darn sure they do this right the first time around. If anything should be of worry in this case, it should be the fumbling, bumbling, still got nothing defense - they are the ones doing a real disservice to Casey, not LE or SA.
And I do want her to have a competent defense because I want this whole thing to be fair. I don't want to hear years of whining about an incompetent defense or God forbid she actually gets her conviction overturned because of it. I do wish the defense would just buckle down and do their job for once because I am sick and tired of them delaying and not doing anything to help out Casey one bit. If they want to go through thousands upon thousands of tips and quit whining and delaying for once, I would be ECSTATIC to see them to do that even though they probably won't find anything. At least they'd be freaking WORKING for once.
All of this is IMO.
