This is just my opinion, of course, but folks like that seem to have drank a little too much of the Nancy Grace kool-aid. What about the other thousands of kids who go missing every year? If everyone felt as strongly about those kids as they do about this one kid, they'd never get out of bed. Why this case above all others?

It bothers me because there are millions of kids in the world who need help, but everyone's crying over one little girl. How many are involved in Boys and Girls clubs? How many donate to children's charities? Certainly not enough. But everyone can be a slacktivist on facebook.

Also: The jury did not make or break this case. They never make or break a case. The prosecution did. I'd say the defense put forth an awesome case, but the burden of proof is on the prosecution and they did not meet that burden. If that's not the prosecution messing it up, what is it?

Amen.
