Everyone has their opinions and their own ideas about what truly happened. I get that. But the idea that people could be so outraged over the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial, or so excited because of the way the OJ Simpson trial turned out, is beyond me.
Such strong reactions cause the search for the truth to be downplayed, and in some cases, forgotten about altogether.

I have a problem with her being called "poor girl." There is so much embedded in that phrase.
The compassion for being locked up abroad and perceived injustice is not evenly distributed. The pursuit of innocence and the truth will always be stronger for "beautiful, all-American," white girls and women. This has been discussed in other threads.
