Your cashier's check is in the mail. Unless you do direct deposit.

<----agzg just wants my money :eek: just like knight_shadow and urrrrrybody else does....

You mean, about when it gets dark enough to turn on porch lights? Like, the time many automatic lights go on, and people flip them on because they're waiting for someone to get home?

That's not a memorial, that's slacktivism at its finest.

I don't really think one's death can be 'vindicated.' She was murdered. There's no vindication, not even in finding, convicting and possibly killing the murderer. Nothing 'helps' the victim here in any way unless one has a moral system that only results in heaven for those whose murderers are convicted.

And again we're back to, why do we care about THIS child, and not the other (statistically) three who were murdered on the same date?


Innocent people lie to the police all the time. Particularly if you're only referring to the crime being investigated at the time. They might be guilty of gods know what else, or be hiding something embarrassing that isn't a crime at all.

@DrPhil, I'm actually more interested in how it can be changed, or how it should be changed. I think that the 'why' we only see young, pretty, well off, dramatic/sideshowy missing white girls or *gasp* white girls who are murderers while in a foreign country or the like has been pretty well established to anyone who bothers to educate themselves. I'm not so sure on what can be DONE about it, though. Which cases need media attention to help solve them and which don't? And how do we as the viewing public make changes?

This would be funny if someone hadn't written $30,000 in fraudulent bill pay checks on my joint account last week.

I need money to pay my legal fees for that shitstorm.

The impact of these factors can't be measured so they can also have a buffering effect.

Being less than middle class, and depicted as a loose party woman at that, can make her appear more of a potential killer; or, it can make her even more of a victim when it intersects with her history of sexual abuse. Those can both weigh on people's thoughts as they are deciding whether she is guilty or fully accountable for WHATEVER happened to Caylee.

I thought about that after I typed it. :( Sorry.

Did I say that you call people racist/sexist/classist or did i say you go on a rampage when they phrase something racist/sexist/classist. Learn how to read.

Now that you feel internet-bad it's funny. :D

Alleged sexual abuse*

Yes, you did say that she would call people racist. Unless there's a way to condemn someone for being racist without calling them racist that I've yet to hear about. Is that something they teach you in willfully ignorant school?

Is this going to be your signature style? Rolling your eyes at other posters and their styles because you're above it?

/i'm only here because my name was typed in this thread

Yes.

While I agree that race/class issues play a part in all of this, there is a simpler explanation: there was a suspect, with a clear motive, on trial. It was not a perfect case, so there was a lot of suspense involved. She had a chance of being caught. Those three other children? Who knows if there was even a suspect. Or conversely, it was a cut-and-dry conviction with no drama. This was interesting to the public because there was a 50-50 chance of someone going to jail for this little girl's murder. Only 50-50, no more, no less. (OK not technically if you get into the statistical analysis, but the simplified version is that there were 2 possible outcomes- conviction or acquittal.)

Will any kind of investigation continue? While I personally believe Casey is veryyy guilty, I can see how there was not enough evidence to convict her. And while she cannot be tried again, will there be any investigation to absolutely rule out other suspects? If Casey is innocent (actually innocent, not just "not guilty") then someone who killed this child is walking free. How does the justice system handle that?

You set yourself up on Google Alerts, didn't you?

Again, you're too stupid to understand my posts and need to stop reading them.

This is funny.

No. I am not particularly interested in this case, so I will glance at this thread every once in a while. I was scrolling and saw an underscore, so that made me take notice lol
