I was 16 years old that in October 1995, I remember my Mom following a case about a man called OJ Simpson, my Parents knew OJ Simpson as a football player, I had come to know him as that man on TV in our house all day long who I was sure killed his ex wife Nicole and a Man a friend of hers named Ron Goldman, i became as obbsessed with the trial as Mom had become, I would skip school to watch it, shocked at what I heard and what I saw, the evidence seemed overwhelming, there was a new kind of evidence called DNA at that time from what I understood we all had our very own DNA no one else had DNA like ours just like out finger prints were our very own and OJ Simpsons DNA was all over the crime scene, this seemed to me in my 16 year old mind a no brainer, OJ Simpson was guilty I am sure who ever reads this knows all the evidence they had against him. On OCT 3rd I was at a girlfriends house and we of course were watching the trial EVERYONE was watching the trial it seemed, the verdict came in, justice would be served i thought as I watched OJ stand up to hear his fate, NOT GUILTY, what? I asked my friend she was shaking her head i turned & her mother was crying , But he killed those people I said to the TV, to the jurors, no he didnt is what we all heard back, Oj and his lawyers were hugging, they were happy of course, the camera looks around the packed courtroom, Jaws were dropped, people were shaking their heads some were crying at that point so was I, not a whole lot but I was. My friend and I went outside we walked downtown, this man walked by us shaking his head he stopped and looked at us " Not Guilty" my ass he said. everyone was outraged , everyone was angry , everyone was sad, Justice had not come through, A guilty man had gotten away with murder, this was the first of many reality checks I would have in my life.

I am now much older, I have children of my own, I am watching Nancy Grace and she is reporting about a little 2 year old who has gone missing, her picture is put up her name is Caylee Marie Anthony, OMG shes so cute, the poor little thing I pray they find her, shes the same age as my son Ryder, night after night I watch, wait a second Nancy what did you say? Caylee's Mother Casey waited 31 days to report her missing, thats not right, my child went missing once for a few minutes and i called 911 right away, this story gets weirder and weirder, the mother Casey was out partying, getting tattoos, lying to the police, lying to everyone, she was stealing from her best friend, from her grandma, and more lying.

They find little Caylees body in a bag in the woods, she has duct tape on her mouth, she has been murdered obviously, I am so sad I had been praying for her safe return night after night, her mother has already been sitting in jail she is charged with the murder of her daughter, GOOD she did it thats obvious right? she had no reason to lie, no reason to be happy while her daughter was gone this beautiful little girl, there is evidence her car was ditched, there was a decomposed hair of Caylees found in Caseys trunk it smelled like someone died in there.
May - july 2011
Jury selection starts, I watch all the way through I am not impressed with this jury, half seem to not want to be there it seems a fishy jury but i put that out of my mind, I watch this trial everyday The Casey Anthony trial, I tweet about it and talk about it with everyone i come into contact with, I have made some new good friends, Sas, whom I adore , Chris, Cathy Helena, and many others we all know Casey is guilty, we watch the trial and any other shows that talk about it or this case, we love Caylee we want justice for her!!
Today
At 12:15 today my time , that fishy jury of 12 stood up in front of a packed courtroom and declared Casey Anthony NOT GUILTY, WHAT? I must have misheard, they will find her on the next charge, NOT GUILTY, over and over thats what I heard, what I saw in my head was Caylee Anthony's little bones thrown in a garbage bag like she was trash, I look up tears streaming down my face what I see then Is casey Anthony smiling and hugging her defense team, Its happened again, Casey Anthony will walk out of Jail & the courtroom a free woman on Thursday , Caylee Marie will never walk anywhere ever again. Whats happened here? whats going on? how can this be? they are saying on TV there was resonable doubt, there was? I knew for sure Casey killed her child what couldnt they see that we did? Why am I still crying for Caylee and the justice she didnt get, why am I still sick about it? I know why, an injustice happened today, that little beautiful Angel was treated with disrespect her murderer walks free. Caylee has become Americas sweetheart, Americas Child, billions of people know her mother is guilty yet out of those billions only 12 people have the final say, most who didnt even want that burden , how is that fair? how is that the system we have where are Caylee's rights, see because her mother covered up her murder so well she gets away with it, that is the message that was sent today through those jurors, you can lie and confuse people so badly that you can get away with murder. this is why I am sick i have figured it out, I have children I am a mother, I loved Caylee too, What happened today sends the message out that its okay to do what Casey did and thats scary, thats our justice system, unless you have a videotape of the person committing the crime they can walk, thats what Casey did she got away with murder and WE ALL know it, and we are all confused by it. Sas, Chris, Cathy, Helena & I wont be turning on the TV tomarrow to watch the trial and wait for justice for Caylee like we have for 6 weeks 6 days a week, thats not going to happen tomarrow because Justice for Caylee wont be coming thats why I am sick, I shouldnt have gotten so emotionally involved I am thinking, I am being selfish, Caylee loved Dora the Explorer, she loved Winnie the pooh, she loved to dance and sing and swim, she loved Life, her life was cut too short and that is wrong, I believe in God and I believe in Karma, I give my feelings and my emotions over to God, he will take care of Caylee, He will take care of Casey it is now his job to judge her and i have faith he will. The justice system fails people , it failed Caylee Marie today 7 tomarrow it will fail someone else but there is nothing we can do about that, Havent we learned our lesson from OJ walking free? something needs to change in this system I hope one day it will xoxox
