Tuesday Madness!!

In celebration of the 4th yesterday, I didn't do a Monday Madness post. But I think today warrants a madness post.

Today, Casey Anthony was found not guilty on all charges except 4 counts of perjury, which will more than likely be satisfied with time already spent. WTH! Mr. M thinks the prosecutors went too hard. They were so hell bent on seeking the death penalty, but the evidence was lacking. The prosecutors failed to present a cause of death. Defense attorneys maintained that the child drowned in a pool and that Anthony and her father panicked and covered up the death. Why would you try to cover up the accidental drowning of your child? Why did it take you 31 days to go to the police about it? How can you, after finding your child dead, not be remorseful but choose to go out partying instead? Do you really expect people to believe that this was your way of dealing with it?  I honestly can't believe the jury bought this.

But I guess the decision had to be based on evidence, and it just fell short. In some cases, our justice system works, but in far too many it fails. We have mothers who lie to send their kids to a better school outside their district going to jail for 3 years, but she only gets charged for perjury. Come on now!!

Madness!!!!
