Can Justice Prevail?

Is the Casey Anthony murder trial doomed from the start? Day 10 of jury selection, 150 potential jurors interviewed and still no jury!

In today’s economy it is a financial burden for many to commit to sitting on a jury for a minimum of 8 weeks and being sequestered away from your family. That is only one reason why many asked said they could not be on this jury.

Reason number two was that this is a death penalty case. Several potential jurors said they were uncomfortable with the subject of the death penalty and were unsure that they could impose that on the defendant. 

Perhaps the biggest problem is the notoriety of the case. So many of us have seen the pictures of adorable Caylee Anthony. How many times have you seen the video of little Caylee singing “You are My Sunshine”?

Even if you are not a fan of Nancy Grace, if you live in Florida, how could you have not  heard about the “Tot Mom”? 

Even though those accused of a crime are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, the circumstances of this case make it very difficult to remember that fact. 

Caylee Anthony was missing for more than a month and her mother Casey did not report it. 

This is the first major red flag that would cause anyone to wonder why any mother would react the way that Casey did.

While Caylee was missing, Casey alleges that she was doing her own search for the 2 year old. Pictures show Casey shopping at Target (with stolen money) for lingerie and beer, partying and posing in suggestive positions with other girls and carrying on with her life without telling anyone that Caylee was missing!

Never mind the details of this case. If anyone recalls how this case started it is easy to form a quick opinion.

Personally, I could serve on this jury. Maybe I would not be going into it the right way but please, give me proof that Casey Anthony is not responsible for little Caylee being dumped in an empty lot with duct tape over her mouth and nose, weeds growing through her skeletal remains. I will listen. Explain why she did not report her daughter missing. 

The judge is sure that this case will finally begin on Monday. I sure hope so. Caylee deserves justice and it is long overdue in this case.
