So...the jury is out, and now...back in. After 10+ hours of deliberation, they only find Casey Anthony guilty of lying to the Po-Po (as we from Bradenton like to call police officers) and not of murder, manslaughter OR child abuse.
I am refusing to make this post some long, d r a w n (not to be confused with "drown", aka, what Casey claims happened to Caley...) out opinion of whether or not I think she is guilty of ending the human life of her offspring. However, being that I am a switch hitter (You may also hear republicans often refer to this term as "rider of the fence"), in every sense of the word...I have to at least, be able to apply both sides to the equation to reach such opinion. Soooooo....I do not think there was enough evidence to convict her of murder. Buuuuuutttttt, I definately think she was guilty of extensive neglect, at minimum...which to me, and apparently to Wikipedia. actually = child abuse! DUH! Let us define "neglect"...shall we?
Neglect is a passive form of abuse in which the perpetrator is responsible to provide care for a victim who is unable to care for oneself, but fails to provide adequate care to meet the victim's needs, thereby resulting in the victim's demise.Demise = death.
I'm not that good at math but Casey Anthony + Caley Anthony + Neglect - Murder STILL equals neglect, which STILL equals abuse, right? Is that definition of neglect not universal? Guess not to these Pinellas County folk. They must be from Kenneth City or Pinellas Park.
As facebook, chat rooms, tv guests and thousands of blog comments blow up with disgust, shame and shock over this verdict....I am going to make better use of my time. I'm going to start compiling my list of people I can get away with murdering.
