Very well done, Java Jennifer! You expressed much of what I would have said . . . and more. I also agree with Chris: It would be very interesting to read a psychological study on why this case garnered so much attention and reaction. All in all, a sad commentary on what goes on in today’s world.

Very interesting, Jennifer! Being in Michigan, I hadn’t heard much about this case until recently. Besides all the issues you discuss, what is curious to me is why THIS case got so much attention. There are a host of crimes happening and being tried. Why this one? I’d argue that it is because Caylee is white and cute. The ugly and the dark skinned are not worth following in this country.

Excellent post! I think your theory is perhaps the best example of a “horrific accident” I believe that they may have convicted her if the death penalty wasn’t on the table. It’s a sad case no matter how you look at it.

We live in a reality-tv-twitter-blog world now. Instead of waiting for a verdict, we take sides and root for an outcome, like this American Idol or something. Then we rail against the decision because we can’t understand how it was reached.a friend wrote this on facebook the other day. he’s a defense attorney in l.a. i didn’t follow this trial but i did feel people “taking sides”. it was interesting to watch. well written jennifer.

very well written Jennifer. I am impressed with your logical thought process. I got entirely too emotional in this case-even though i only really watched the closing arguements. It just was such a travesty-that someone like Casey did get away with murdering her daughter-accidenentally or not-and how she doesn’t seem to show any remorse or sadness at all. No, meaning a mom is not easy, but all the things she did and got so many people involved and all the lies just really makes me sick to my stomach. I am entirely too emotional and I would not serve well on a jury-which is probably why il’l never be picked. It does bother me all the “hate” that is coming out towards the jury-and the attorney’s though-who did the best they could. I agree with everything you said-and I do believe in Karma, and obviously Casey will be judged by a higher judge in th end.

Well, I think you’ve said about everything I would have said. What a relief that you did it for me:)

Comment on Why I hate her by Steve Foerster

I’m no fan of the way that conservatives want to use the state to saddle us all with their tedious sense of neo-Puritan morality, and as such I have no use for Sarah Palin. Despite this, you lost me when you wrote, ”Forget that her abstinence only stance on teenage sexuality surely
contributed to the out-of-wedlock pregnancy of her own daughter.”What? Surely? How can you say that? I mean, are you friends with Bristol Palin? Have you ever even met her? I just find that it’s so easy to find legitimate criticism of Sarah Palin from the things she’s actually said and done that inserting your guesses about why her daughter makes the decisions she does is more damaging to your argument than supportive of it.

Your question to conservatives works in reverse too: How can liberals say it’s ok to kill an innocent baby and not ok to kill a vicious serial murderer? And what does her appearing nude have to do with any discussion of her right to express herself? She only expressed the exact same idea that Barack Obama expressed as a candidate, the hypocrisy on the part of the Left on this is just staggering, even by Leftist standards.
