The dialogue has morphed to be sure, but it all shares the common theme that ties back to the original point. There was NO JUSTICE WHATSOEVER for that little girl. I said this a gazillion times and I'll say it again. That trial was a freaking CIRCUS ACT replete with a Dog & Pony show. The dialogue morphed because we all know that what we witnessed is really just a "symptom" of a severely tragic disease in America (You phrased it as "Man's devotion to himself"). We all surely feel and hope there is some kind of truth buried beneath the pile that was presented to the world.
What is sad, is this commentary on the society we have become. Despicable because our society pushed this young unmarried woman to abandon what should be most precious.
Is it really society's fault, Glen? Ironically, each of us, with the power to choose independently from one another, somehow comprise the society. So in one aspect, it is society's fault, because Casey Anthony is an integral part of that society. On the other hand, her decision to behave as she had, outweighed all the rest of us and our say in the matter... My point being, she purposely bailed and deviated from society, rather than got pushed by society. Therein lies the difference and is the root illustration of how personal accountability emerges and how ethical judges would uphold it.
Despicable because the prosecutor immediately seeks an eye for an eye. Despicable because all the societal safety nets didn't work. Despicable because all I can see is mans devotion to himself.
The prosecutor could have cared less whether Casey was really guilty or not. He acted on the presumption that she was guilty. But I believe his real motivation was to heighten his status and prestige from a highly exposed case. He was banking on shutting her down without much of a fight. (Instead of focusing on collecting the necessary, appropriate proof.) I tell ya , if I had been on that jury, I would have derailed it and called it 'hung" , which would have meant a re-trial. And as such, I would have filed a grievance and cited contempt against both Defense and Prosecutor. Defense for throwing in that bull sh*t story about daddy abusing her (falsely misleading the Jury to sway its decision), and the prosecutor for sending the court on a wild goose chase with those idiot expert witness testimonies about the odors, and definition of decay. Thus We saw mans devotion to himself... resulting in NO JUSTICE for that poor baby girl...
I'm not going to preach. It is not my place to judge this one case. Far more evil is just around the corner, preliminary displays have already occurred , and I will be ready to stand strong against the selfish wrong.
I have a 22 year old daughter,,, As a parent I must protect ,,,,, Her name is Kaeleigh.
It IS your place to judge this case... The world is full of frightened souls, who would rather be PC than to sh*t on somebody's shoes. Granted, its wiser if we learn to pick our battles accordingly...but at the end of the day,,, if you wanna see man's devotion to self shift into something better, you gotta bust some verbalized "Outrage against the machine". Otherwise, the audience will think the status quo is "okay" to hold on to.
