Jury Selection - Day Three - Caylee Anthony

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!!!!!
