In light of the recent, incompetent Not Guilty verdict, future child killers now have an outline of how to get away with murder thanks to Professor Casey Anthony. This case has sadly set precedence for future homicides. We (the jury pool) have been brainwashed by unrealistic episodes of CSI Miami to the point where many in America think you cannot convict without an actual video of the person committing the crime or an entire fingerprint.

So what have future child killers learned from this case; quite a bit actually.

1.)    Lie to police; lead them on a wild goose chase for a sufficient amount of time to ensure that all DNA evidence subsides from the decomposing body (try to put the body in a rainstorm prone state so evidence washes away over time).

2.)    Blame someone in your family of molesting you

3.)    Say you come from a ‘’dysfunctional family”

4.)    As long as you appear to love your child around your friends, their testimony during trial will persuade the jury to believe that makes you a ‘’good mother.” (Also if there has never been any child abuse in the past the jury will think there is ‘’no way’’ you could have killed your child)

5.)    Create a very detailed story including fictitious characters (which during the trial will be masqueraded as ‘’fantasy characters’’ instead of calling them what they are; lies).

6.)    Go ahead and do all of your pre-meditation searches on the computer because those can no longer prove pre-meditation (even if you were the only person at home while those searches were carried out.)

7.)    Don’t worry about Canine Police Dogs hitting upon any scent of a decomposing body in your car because that no longer holds up as ‘’evidence” in a courtroom anymore.

8.)    Throw an empty box of Velveeta cheese in the trunk of your car to cover up the human decomposition stench. It will cast ‘’reasonable doubt” because the testimony of senior law enforcement officials recognizing the smell of a dead body vs. food holds no credence anymore.

9.)    Don’t worry about partying it up when your child is ‘’missing’’ because as the non-expert defense witness claimed ‘’everything is consistent with grief.”

This jury was instructed to go solely on evidence provided during the trial (meaning, testimony). Some of the jurors that have spoken since the verdict have implied they ‘’feel’’ it was indeed an accident that snowballed out of control and its probable Caylee did in fact drown in the pool. Was I watching the wrong trial, because last time I checked, there was no evidence of Caylee drowning in a pool at all in the entire duration of the trial. So how could they have based their verdict on this speculative defenses’ opening statement? This group of twelve veered far away from the jury instructions. As Prosecutor Jeff Ashton said, “if the jury based their verdict on George Anthony, it would be a breach of their duty as a juror.” He’s right. There is no probable way this jury would have found Casey Anthony Not Guilty if they followed the evidence presented during the trial alone. You don’t and shouldn’t come to a verdict based on the opening statement.

Mr. Professional Flippin’ off-the-Camera Cheney Mason boasted in his teams’ victory while admonishing the media for unfair coverage in the same manner Liberals blamed Sarah Palin for the Tucson massacre.  Mason, speaking as if he just got off the movie set of ‘’Deliverance” said in an interview that Casey is ‘’tough, smart and quick.” You bet she is, just ask the detectives that worked tireless hours trying to find her daughter in ‘Zanny the Nanny’s’ hands while she knew her daughter was rotting in muck one mile from her home.

I always said during this case, the prosecution must ask the jury who would have benefited from Caylee no longer being around. For all those who have said the prosecution didn’t ‘’prove’’ motive (even though that state isn’t obligated to prove any motive) it makes me wonder what trial they were watching. Prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick couldn’t have done a better job proving Casey’s motive for killing Caylee. At the conclusion of her closing argument she asked the jury “whose life was better with Caylee being dead?” The last image she left the jury with were two pictures; Casey’s ‘’bella vita’’ tattoo and Casey grinding on a bar top in a short blue dress while Caylee was supposedly ‘’missing.” The jury must have been mapping out their vacation destinations to not have made the connection! I wonder if these were some of the same people who couldn’t figure out how to punch a chad on a ballot in 2000…

This jury also said they couldn’t convict Casey because there was no cause of death. It would be nice if it were explained to the jury prior to deliberations that the state does not need to prove cause of death. Let’s just try to put two and two together and maybe that will lead us to a cause of death; ‘how to make chloroform’ searches on the computer to chloroform found in the trunk of the car where human decomposition was hit upon by not one but two cadaver dogs. Hmm, I wonder what cause of death could have been! Three pieces of duct tape encompassing little Caylee’s nose and mouth. What are the two places we breathe from? I can hear the jeopardy song now…Where is common sense America? I haven’t felt this way since Obama was elected.

Furthermore some of the jurors have indicated they couldn’t convict Casey because first degree murder wasn’t proven. Did they forget there were two other counts they could have convicted her on: second degree and third degree? Did they not flip over to the next page? Not even child neglect was considered? A mother goes thirty one days without reporting her daughter missing and child neglect isn’t even considered (hence, why we need Caylee’s Law). One would receive a harsher punishment if they left Bingo in their car on a hot summer day! This is why an IQ test should be part of seating a jury.

Fox News host Geraldo Rivera continues to stand behind his BFF Jose Baez’s defense of Casey. Rivera claimed on his show last weekend that Anthony was a good mom. Right Geraldo, Casey Anthony is a good mom the way OJ Simpson was a good husband. Speaking of O.J., we saw then that even when there IS forensic evidence/DNA at a crime scene that sometimes that isn’t enough for a conviction! So Casey walks, and Caylee remains a heap of ashes in an urn because as O.J. prosecutor Marcia Clark said “jury’s confuse reasonable doubt with reason TO doubt.”

Hearing Not Guilty rendered three times felt as if the scale of justice just sat upon the hearts of those who solely sought justice for Caylee. Some say not to worry because ‘’the justice system worked.” Really? Who did it work for? Did is work for Caylee?  Unfortunately, Casey will be back on the bar top in her mini blue dress in no time; just as the song says, ‘’Devil in the blue dress.” She in the end got what she wanted: freedom to play and ‘’La Bella Vita.” Justice was not served for Caylee but we can find solace knowing we have a just God. We must remember His promise in knowing Casey may be able to let her Rapunzel locks down and walk as a free woman now but His promise will remain true: “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD.” Romans 12:19
