Remembering Caylee

As the prosecution nears the end of presenting their case against Casey Anthony, we need to remember why this case is even happening. 

Caylee Marie Anthony was murdered.

There really is no doubt about that. Whether or not it was intentional (which I believe it was) does not change the fact that this beautiful little girl's life was cut short. 

We all saw the videos of Caylee, the last known videos and pictures ever taken. While visiting her great-grandfather she sang, held a book and reminded many of us of the sweet innocence of a 2 1/2 year old child. She reminded many of us of our own child or grandchild. 

Perhaps the joy that exploded from this little girl was part of why so many people were horrified by her disappearance and total lack of concern by her own mother. It is unfathomable.

Total strangers, thousands of them, volunteered their time to search for Caylee. When her body was found 6 months later, a nation mourned.

We all hope for Justice for Caylee. No matter what happens, Caylee is gone and the death penalty will not bring her back. We will never be able to understand how or why a mother would take the life of her child. 

Let us all try and remember that this trial is not about a narcissistic young woman. This trial is about seeking the truth and getting justice for Caylee.
