Good thing that guy who killed and dismembered the little boy confessed. They may have hired the new dream team and got him off because they couldn't find enough of his body parts to figure out what exactly killed him. <br /><br />And social media is now being involved in these criminal cases. They are monitoring the sites to figure out the best way to manipulate the jury.

We certainly don't agree often around here and that's cool. <br /><br />And we trended here about the same as they are reporting in the media for the general public...2/3 for guilty and 1/3 for not guilty. <br /><br />Juror #3 the nursing student said that on first vote, 2 of the jurors voted for first degree and 6 or 12 voted for aggravated manslaughter. They didn't think the woman was innocent. Mark my words, Casey will be back in jail before too very long.

I usually tell more personal stuff - and maybe people don't want to hear that, but sometimes that is all I have to say.

IMO..it is likely a significant reason for the jury's verdict. They couldn't even risk a verdict that might end in the death penalty and that's where I do agree. The prosecution was too hell bent on first degree murder. I wasn't. <br /><br />There was something listed in the evidence that was found downloaded on the Anthony computer. It was a little cartoon that had a child standing next to a teddy bear that was hanging from a hangman's rope. It said something like...why do they kill people who kill people to show that it's wrong to kill people. That concept doesn't make much sense to me either.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-67947164645539352862011-07-14T20:13:19.563-05:002011-07-14T20:13:19.563-05:00Lately I've been very disgusted with our crimi...Lately I've been very disgusted with our criminal justice system. At work I see poor homeless people who keep being picked up because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time and that's just about all the time.<br /><br />At times I've thought that they may be better off in the joint with a place to sleep and three squares, not from a garbage can, but they don't share that feeling. Some don't seem to mind being homeless. I begged one to please head back to Texas, sorry Nemo, because that is where he is from. He's been back about 4 times in the last 8 months. I'm starting to feel like we are related.<br /><br /> I see people who are stuck in jail for simple little crimes, with a tiny little bond, but they don't have any family or a penny to get out while others, who are charged with horrible crimes, can get out because they can afford to bond out. What's fair about that? <br /><br />I'm still frustrated about what happened in the Anthony case and I just heard today about some perv in Washington State who can sit and watch the porn videos he made molesting 20 something children because he is representing himself and that's his legal right to examine the evidence..as long as he wants to watch it.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-75933481826445096272011-07-14T19:44:25.652-05:002011-07-14T19:44:25.652-05:00I still keep up the the Anthony case and will unti...I still keep up the the Anthony case and will until she disappears into the ozone. I stick with the Dr Drew and Joy Behar coverage. Both are more level headed. <br /><br />Coreen, the other night Joy had on three women who are going to be in the show.."I married a mobster". I thought about you and that show you talked about, Mob Wives. Two of the women were married to mobsters, both of their husbands or ex husbands are in prison now and one, Linda Scarpa, was the daughter of a mobster who died in jail. He was known as the Grim Reaper. Ever heard of him? The show is or was on Investigation Discovery. <br /><br />Tonight Joy has on Roseanne Barr. She has a new show called Roseannes Nuts, a new lifetime reality series. I might check that one out. I think she lives on a nut farm.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-56830143772731331702011-07-14T19:13:29.275-05:002011-07-14T19:13:29.275-05:00I certainly don't expect that anyone will want...I certainly don't expect that anyone will want to read or discuss some of the things I comment on here. I started the place because I wanted to be able to ponder out loud and wanted to do it somewhere besides in my head. As I've stated before, I'm not even sure how I feel about things until I write or talk about them. <br /><br />When I first opened the swamp, I never dreamed anyone would join me here. It was just a place to ponder and ramble. It's was a nice surprise when others showed up. <br /><br />I enjoy pondering politics, well, I used to until that got so crazy mixed up. I'll get interested again but I'm taking a break. I know no one from around my neck of the woods who wants to hear anything about politics so I have to hold my tongue. <br /><br />When I get together with my big sis for a visit she sets the agenda for what we talk about or even watch on TV. We can only discuss things that are not stressful. I can handle that for a couple of weeks but it does take some of the joy out of the visit. <br /><br />Almost in all areas of my life I have to follow other people's rules for what I can or can't talk about. I wanted one place where I didn't have any rules. <br /><br />At times, I feel like there are certain things I can and can't write about here. I think I've run people off because of some of the things I've chosen to write about. If I try to stick with what I think everyone might find acceptable I'd probably be limited to the weather. I do like to ponder the weather. <br /><br />I guess I'm not like many others in that I don't try to avoid stressful things. I couldn't even if I wanted to. I ponder many stressful things, try to make sense of them, and try to figure out what there is about those stressful situations that I can learn. <br /><br />The criminal justice system is particularly interesting to me since it is where I spend a good bit of my life. I also find all aspects of human behavior, good and evil, very interesting. I'm even more interested in people who don't think at all like I do. They really fascinate me.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-90315312443761508852011-07-14T16:06:29.751-05:002011-07-14T16:06:29.751-05:00Carol, I accept your wanting to discuss the CA tr...Carol, I accept your wanting to discuss the CA trial and result. I am just not interested any longer in the whole thing. The jury has given their verdict. <br /><br />When I wrote earlier NOT GUILTY etc. etc. it was in response to the not guilty verdict by the jury. I don't have ESP. I was sick and tired of the entire escapade by that time and chose to stay away until my own emotions had "died" down. I don't need any more stress in my life. I have enough already. I am trying through the dream stuff I am doing and some meditation to keep a balanced life. <br /><br />I will read what you write here, but I will not comment any more on the CA case. It has become a media circus and I would not be surprised to hear that grown people have died as a result of the extreme emotion and stress caused by it. Personally, I think Jane Velez is nuts. She is coming across as "bonkers." When anything about the case comes on a station I am watching on TV, I change the station. <br /><br />Carol, I care about you and want to continue to enjoy our relationship here so I will just write what I am pondering. What I love about your blog is what you have always said - and that is- that we can each share what we want without being judged here. I hope that is still true.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-57578675246036315292011-07-14T08:46:17.265-05:002011-07-14T08:46:17.265-05:00I agree with Maggie on the heat.
