The clusterfuck that is the Casey Anthony trial

And so apparently Kim K deleted a few things.

lol, well, at least afaik Sharon is just a career killer

The following diary entry by Casey Anthony is dated "June 21" and reads:

I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out OK. I completely trust my own judgment and know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see – This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow– I've made new friends that I really like. I've surrounded myself with good people – I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change.[58]

reading the wikipedia article on this is really bumming me out :(

all I want to know is why she's called the 'tot mom'

Her daughter was a potato

invented the tater tot iirc

its realy sad she was a potato

all I want to know is why she's called the 'tot mom'

Nancy Grace has called her that for the last five years running, just tabloidese I guess

all of you who never heard about this I envy you for the small amount of crappy cable tv you must be watching

What a tragedy for Ore-Ida.

srsly tho what is the fuckin deal here, why does everybody "know" she is guilty

due to the "evidence" presented in the "trial"

Resulting in stuff like:

Several cars cruised slowly outside the Anthony home, some stopping briefly so occupants could snap photos of the residence.

Ashley Chaney, who flew in from Fort Wayne, Ind., specifically for the trial, was unable to get seats in the courtroom for today, so she and her father decided to go to the Anthony home.

"I wanted to come and see the home to say that I had been here," she said, adding that she was upset by the verdict.

much dispute about whether that june 21 diary entry is from 2008 or 2003. iirc, the facing diary page had "03" handwritten on it.

she was the mom of a tot

ergo tot mom

lol @ pretty much every single reaction to this whole trial though

the part that convinced me was all the google searches on her computer for "chloroform" and "how to break a neck"

(that her mom then claimed to be hers)

Just your everyday google research, nothing to see here.

aw c'mon who hasn't googled those

xp

mom had tot, was tot mom. made tot die. tot mom not tell, tot mom get tat. tot mom's mom tell. bad dad touch tot mom?

What's on Casey Anthony's iPod, I wonder...

tit for tot

according to the wiki it was later established that the particular type of diary was not on the market in 2003?

the part that convinced me was all the evidence of human decomposition in her trunk.

the part that convinced me was Nancy Grace's evil skeletor skull jabbering about it for 5 years

i thought it said there wasnt any evidence in the trunk?

Investigators found no trace of DNA or solid signs of chloroform or decomposition inside the trunk of Ms. Anthony’s car, where prosecutors said Ms. Anthony stashed Caylee before disposing of her body.

i heard there was a facebook group "Casey Anthony is Guilty". thats what convinced me

like how can u even explain that away

Heard some mom talking about this at the pool. This may be the first high profile child murder case (right?) I've been 100% totally unaware of, which leads me to believe it's been exclusively cable TV driven. I don't have cab;e.

how did the jury overlook this smdh:

this is one of those cases where the terribly incriminating circumstantial evidence didn't add up to a conviction. is it illegal to google "neckbreaking" and "choloroform"? no. is it illegal to have a car trunk smelling like rotting death? no. is it illegal to party and get tats while your daughter is missing? no. is it illegal to not report your daughter missing for 30 days? well maybe that one is... my daughter went missing for 10 minutes at an amusement park and we called security while my wife lost it.

idk if i can speculate wildly for a second here, i think the part of the mass intrigue and to some degree the certitude in the public opinion that she killed her kid is based on some buried, guilty identification with lol tot mom. FULL DISCLOSURE i'm not a parent but i don't think it's at all uncommon for parents to resent their kids, especially young kids, for being so all-consuming of their lives; or to miss the freedom you had before the kid came along; or to wonder about how your life would be different if the kid was not in the picture.

don't get me wrong, obviously there is a long dark path and possibly a psychiatric disorder between those feelings and actually doing away with your own kid. personally, i think she's probably guilty, but thankfully that judgement was not mine to render.

i'm sure my mom was mad she had to miss that prince concert because i had a cold but she also didn't stuff me in a pillow case and throw me in a river on the off-chance he was gonna play "controversy."

he did and your mom has regretted it ever since

I think the media attention is largely due to the conservative end of American society's need to have someone being made an example of in an age of insecurity over single-parent households and women in positions of responsibility (and partyin' kids)

white people be judgin

hell I'VE regretted it ever since

also Law & Order: SVU episodes

and who better to lead the way in this march than Nancy Grace?

lol strongo

i remember when the susan smith thing went down we were all watching the news one night after dinner and my mom goes "in another world, that could have been me" and there was the most awful kubrickian silence before she finally laughed.

needless to say i sleep with the door locked whenever i visit her now.

who the hell would google "neckbreaking"? esp when you're attempting to break the neck of a small child. seems like it would be pretty self explanatory imo

sittin' in back seat
kickin' in the front seat
why are the doors locked
shit is that a laaaaaaake?

My wife and I took my elder daughter to see Prince when she was in utero, and there are still days I want to kill her. Though of course, not literally.=important distinction.

Kim's moved on

Ned, do you follow Kourtney and Khloe too?

mom had tot, was tot mom. made tot die. tot mom not tell, tot mom get tat. tot mom's mom tell. bad dad touch tot mom?
