My opinion…
Ever feel ripped off? Like when you go to the movies to see a movie that has been totally all hyped up by the commercials, then when you go see it you are very disappointed and feel like they left off the ending. I feel that for the last seven weeks I have been watching the longest lifetime network movie ever! I have watched the Casey Anthony trial for the last seven weeks religiously. I don’t know how I let myself get roped into it but I wish I hadn’t.
When I first started watching, the very first day of the trail I really had no idea what the story was. I hadn’t really followed the case much. Well, that day when opening statements started I actually felt like she could be innocent. I feel sorry for her and how her family treated her. Well as the case went on and I watched I was ever more convinced she was guilty. Not 1st degree murder, I couldn’t really find any premeditation (I could go on) but she was defiantly guilty of having something to do with her child’s death.
When Casey decided not to take the stand I was very disappointed. I was looking for answers to many questions and she was the only one that could provide them. So that was the first day I felt ripped on, when it was said she wasn’t going to take the stand.
When the closing statements came I was ever more so convinced there was no way the jury would acquit her. BUT SHOCKER! THEY DID! Of course at first I was angry and ready to get on the first flight to Orlando, but a day went by and I became depressed over the verdict. I felt like I had just been ripped off from a satisfying and well deserved ending.
Seeing the protesting going on in Orlando and the internet is crazy. But in a sense we all feel ripped off… in days the anger will subside and we’ll all move on. But being ripped off from an ending of justice just makes us angry.
There were just so many things that went wrong during this case, so many questions unanswered and most of us just want answers. I believe that’s the cause of everyone’s anger.
Of course, not to ever forget the little girl in the middle of the mess. Caylee is in a better place now. Her mother never deserved her. I just was hoping for a better ending.
Just sayin…
