The Casey Saga is Not Over

Yesterday Cindy Anthony was denied a visit to her daughter Casey who remains in jail until the 17th of July. Not surprising being that Casey has denied allowing any family to see her for quite some time now.

Seems to me that Casey must have a plan for where she is going to go once she is released next week.

Her car, although registered to George and Cindy Anthony, will be released to her as well as other items held while she has been in jail.

So, where is Casey going to go? No job, no education and the only "skills" she has are lying and manipulating people. 

The natural guess to me would be LA. She might blend right in. 

Whatever does happen when she is released, her troubles are not over. She still has to answer to Zenaida Gonzalez' attorney who served her with a lawsuit after she was acquitted of murder charges. She will also have the State of Florida wanting to be reimbursed for the costs of investigating Caylee's disappearance. 

I cannot imagine that anyone is going to pay her enough money for her to live the good life when she is obviously going to need legal representation and pay some hefty fines. 

Sadly the truth about what really happened to Caylee will never be known. Legislation like "Caylee's Law" is being discussed in many states and at least something positive may come out of this tragedy.

As people begin to cool down after the outrage of Casey getting away with (what many of us believe to be) murder, we can analyze the justice system and see the flaws.

We can also look more objectively at what role media played in this case .

Because of Florida's open discovery laws, we knew about all the forensic evidence in this case before the trial even began. There was so much that was second-hand and therefore "hear-say" that could not be taken into account when determining Casey's guilt. 

We have come a long way from the Salem Witch Hunts but with the way the media played upon the "facts" in this case, it only made the outrage greater.

Could we actually be wrong about Casey Anthony? Could Caylee have drowned and she panicked? Could her 31 days of partying actually have been her own way of coping with her grief???

Nah. Even as I typed this I could not swallow it. Her "denial" of the events did not end. It was her mother who called 911 and to this day, has Casey shed a tear for anyone except herself?

This case will continue to fascinate us for some time to come. No one "gets" how a young mother would react like Casey Anthony unless she was covering up a crime. 

In time, this story will fade. Casey Anthony may be given the opportunity to tell her version of lies in greater detail but really, who is going to pay to read it? 

She and her family have to live with the secrets that they hold. Someday they will be held accountable.
