For the last two weeks I have been glued to the television screen, watching the trial of alleged child killer Casey Anthony. She is on trial for murdering her daughter, and is now facing the death penalty. What is it about this trial that is so captivating? There isn’t any happy ending to anticipate. All anyone hopes for is justice for the tragic, senseless death of Caylee, a beautiful two year old little girl. As a human being and a mother, I am hoping that Casey will never again see the light of day…at the very minimum. As a spiritual person I trust that God has it covered, one way or another.
I remember the first time Nancy Grace brought this crime to light. What struck me immediately, and probably everyone else that was watching, was the vastly opposing emotions between Casey, the little girl’s mother, and Cindy, the little girl’s grandmother. When Cindy discovered that Caylee had been missing for thirty-one days, she was an emotional wreck, as anyone loving grandmother would be, and any mother should be. But Casey was cool as a cucumber, emotionally disconnected. She told one outrageous lie after another about what had happened to her precious daughter. She led the police detectives on wild goose chases, claiming that she could prove her lies, and everyone of them led to nowhere. She continues to hold the truth hostage; even under the threat of the death penalty. One way or another it is apparent that she intends to take the truth about what happened to her precious daughter, to the grave.
Casey has destroyed her parents and brother, apparently with no remorse, by taking their granddaughter and niece away from them. Caylee was the light of all their lives. It appears as if Casey has not suffered anything from any of this, outside of feeling sorry for herself. She is like a vampire who has forever sucked the joy out of her family. They will live in darkness for the rest of their days. She doesn’t seem human, she obviously does not have a conscience. Casey’s father George attempted suicide, because he wanted so badly to be with Caylee, but failed. Then, as if she hadn’t tortured ther family enough, she is now blaming her highly suspicious behavior on having been molested by her father and brother. And then she had the gall to accuse her father of participating in Caylee’s death and the cover up after it. She has destroyed her entire family – still they rally around her. They know in their hearts that she is guilty - understandably, they just can’t bear to lose another loved one.
The media has sensationalized the story and made a specticle out of the Anthony family. Why? Because people want to know the truth. We just can’t wrap our heads around any aspect of this story. Nothing is relatable to us, nothing about it makes sense, beginning with the fact that single mom Casey never told anyone who Caylee’s father was. This is a story about secrets and lies. We want to know the truth about what really happened to Caylee, but it has become more and more apparent that we never will. The only thing that will make us look away is a guilty verdict for Casey. People want Casey to pay for what she did to her child, and for the cold-hearted way she did it. That will be the only aspect of this story that would make sense to us. Then maybe we could begin to let it go.
The trial is close to wrapping up. Perhaps there will be a verdict by next week. If the jury believes that there is reasonable doubt, Casey Anthony may be sentenced to a prison term, but maybe not to death . I would hate for that decision to be resting in my hands.
Whatever happens, I know that ultimately, God is in charge. No deed, whether good or bad, ever goes unrecognized. There will be justice for Caylee…of that I am sure.
May your beautiful soul rest in peace, Caylee. You will not be forgotten.
