I have been watching the jury selection for Casey Anthony’s upcoming murder trial for the last three days. First, I must say it’s an experience for sure, not too unpleasant. The major problem I have with this is the people, potential jurors, who are ridiculously selfish. I’m not going to detail all of their excuses, because that is what they are, but being married for 42 years and not ever being away from your husband IS NOT a hardship. That woman really bothered me, maybe it’s because I am a strong person and just cannot understand that type of thinking. You spend 42 years “taking care” of your husband but when it comes to your civic duty to your country, you cannot “take care” of that? I withhold and keep to myself my true feelings toward her, for now. Also, the Raymond James potential juror? This just makes me acutely aware of how many people in this world who think they are “special,” more special than anyone else. I could carry on with numerous thoughts regarding this type of person, but I won’t.
I understand what type of inconvenience being away from my home for eight weeks would be. I absolutely would not want to be away from my family and friends, but I certainly would do what was asked of me if it would not financially ruin me. I certainly would not make up excuses and say that I am the only person at my place of employment that would be able to do my job. I mean, listen to these people’s excuses - “I umpire at little league,” “I own seven dogs,” “I have a sleep apnea, narcolepsy” “I need to go to church in order to pray to God” - unbelievable. I guess I am just of the thoughts that if they don’t serve, this trial will be delayed. I do NOT want this. Pick me, I’ll be on the jury - you don’t have to pay me. I’ll do it for free!
I watch Casey very closely. Has anyone ever noticed how small her hands are? I don’t know why they give me an eerie feeling, but that they do. My opinion of the shaking of her head "no" when his honor reads the indictment to each of the jury panels is an act. She does the same exact things before each time this happens. It has now happened three different times. She is an actress, not a very good one. You can actually see her psyche herself up for the tears that inevitably appear. It really makes me ill that these potential jurors will not be able to see that until after the case is over. Well, the ones who will be seated won't. Her tears really annoy me. I have seen the actual tear drops that have fallen, but they are not for Caylee. They are not for the reason that she is wrongly accused (in my opinion) of murdering her child. These tears are solely for her self. She HATES to be judged. She cannot stand the fact that they are there essentially to JUDGE her. I would swear to the fact that she is thinking “how DARE they judge ME!” She is angry, not sad. And what a "great" ploy her defense team thought up, no? I wonder what goes through her mind when she sees and hears these young, single mothers work, go to school and take care of their children. I really do. Does she think they are all liars as she is? WHAT goes through a mind such as Casey’s? I think I should have studied to be a psychologist!
I think they will find the jury they want from these people. Monday cannot get here soon enough! It saddens me to say that I am very excited for this trial to start. Being an empathetic person by nature, it goes against what I stand for and believe to be happy for others discomfort. But with this case, for Caylee - I am happy that this will be over in six or eight weeks.
JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE!!!!!

Well, putting my opinion aside, like if she did kill her daughter or not, this is what I think.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing Casey can do to satisfy any person, especially since most people only have eyes on others and their screwed up lives.
I've lived with a family secret for many many years. My sister died when she was 20 month old, beaten to death by a neighbor family.
As weird as is might sound to you, as long as I did not deal with this (I have been born as a replacement (!)) my life was kind of normal. Dealing with it turned my life around, most ppl did not understand at all why I changed so much.
When I was crying it had different reasons. I cried for my sister. I cried for me. I cried for no reason.
Getting back into life and doing things I did before I dealt with our story is not possible anymore.
No one will every understand and I am actually glad about that. But still, sometimes it would help me heal.
I do not want to be in Caseys shoes but not because of what she did or not did, just because I think we won't understand her and I now she'll be all alone by herself.
C & C ...they know.
Mel
So, are you saying that if you kill your daughter that we should just look the other way because of what was in your past? I truly am sorry for your loss and what you have gone through. I hope you heal and can make a life for yourself that doesn't mirror Casey's.
ReplyDeleteThere is not ONE FACT that proves her abuse allegations. There is nothing in her childhood (pediatrician reports stating bedwetting, uti's, violence....etc) that states what she has alleged is true. FIRST and you MUST read HER written statements and watch ALL of her jail videos and every other piece of evidence in the last three years to understand why what her defense has said is NOT true. She brought this all by herself, Mel. Sorry that I don't agree with you.
Hi Troy,
ReplyDeleteoh no no, I think I answered your question in another statement.
It is one thing to go through a hard time, like a bad childhood.
It is a totally different one to kill someone and using the hard time as an excuse.
Like I stated working for the Law I've seen a lot of "weird" things.
What do you think how many ppl including teachers did realize that I was beaten every day by my mom? I am not able to prove it though. And she is not able to prove that my dad hit her all the time. ...so?
Troy, we do not have to agree. I would never expect that. Maybe that's a huge difference?
Ppl expect "you" to act and see things in a certain way and it doesn't always work that way.
My parents lived in a small town in Germany. They did work at a place which was/is supposed to take of persons with disabilities. Neither my mom nor my dad had any kind of education for that. And my mom who lost her daughter was since then a very angry person (of course).
I do know (for some different reason) a lot of the "inmates" from this kind of foster home (well, more city) and you can read it in the news that they have been treated very very bad.
Some of these guys are very good ppl today and some just screwed up, killed themself or others, dealing with drugs and stuff.
I do not get why you would make me think she did it. I do have my own opinion on that, I just do not state on that.
All I'm saying is you all make it way too easy for yourself and do not see what happens if she didn't do it. You all seem to have the answers....
I am question that.
I truly don't want anyone to think the way I do about this case. I write about MY opinions and how I see what is happening in the trial. I am by no means saying that I have all the answers, but I have done extensive research on this case. I truly have read every document put out by the prosecution. I have watched every video of Casey and her family that has been put on the Internet by LE. I don't read people's comments, blogs or anything else. What I am writing about are my opinions on what I see. This wasn't easy for me. I did not ever want to believe that Casey killed her daughter. But from the evidence I have seen, in MY opinion, she did just that. And I don't care if it's Casey or some other mother/father - there could be no mitigating factors, in MY opinion, that would make me ever say that it was ok for them to murder their two year old child. NOTHING!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry that no one helped you when you were younger. I couldn't stand by if I thought a child was being abused. I couldn't and I wish there was just one person in your past that didn't either.
