Casey Anthony

Below, I copy and pasted a very large comment posted on a friend of mine's Facebook status today. It was a small debate on the questionable outcome of the Casey Anthony case, and my input was requested. I ended up writing enough that I decided to make a blog post out of it for anyone interested.

I read up on wikipedia what I could about the case, and it seems to me that neither the defense nor the prosecution sufficiently did their jobs. I haven't seen footage of any of the trials and thus I can't make out the attitudes with which said prosecution or defense was speaking; I'm basing my opinion off of what I read. Honestly she could very easily NOT be guilty, though she also very easily could be. There was a solid amount of evidence to insinuate premeditated murder, but no evidence of the carrying-out of the murder. I'm not going to presume to know who is guilty and who is innocent; I won't make such deep assumptions or opinionations based on my own limited insight into the matter. But I will say this: to me, it appears that this woman is most merely a mentally unstable, highly emotionally volatile individual, who is unquestionably guilty in the areas of child neglect, threatening, and falsified information, most likely in some ill-conceived psychiatric self-defense attempt. It's very clear that this woman has a lot of issues. A lot. And though I'm going to remain neutral here, there isn't any hard evidence of the actual carrying out of the murder. From one perspective, people threaten to kill people they know all the time. Nobody knows the possible levels of domestic mental or emotional abuse that went whatever way it could have gone in the home. Therefore nobody can definitely conclude whether or not Google searches on how to create chloroform or searches as vague as "death" can be proof of premeditation, sheer curiosity, spur-of-the-moment anger after a fight, etc. There are simply too many possibilities. So I find the whole thing interesting, but I won't make a judgment on which side was right. The defense and the prosecution were both ill-equipped in their cases.

Recent Tidings

I've been having a lot of nightmares lately. Many sleepless nights. I'm not entirely sure why; perhaps due to certain recent events that have played havoc on my mind. The last few days have been truly an experience, though not one I'd ever want to relive. I've completely redefined the term "rollercoaster mood," as I've gone from laughs to tears more times than I can count. Now to my family that reads this... Don't worry. I'm fine.


I've been drawing a lot. Everything from my usual zentangles to Pikachu and various characters from Spongebob. Drawing calms me. So does typing, hence a big part of the reason I'm writing this to begin with. I've also discovered the awesomeness that is the band Mayday Parade. These guys are simply lyrically gifted. They have some great stuff.


Isaiah 55:8. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and neither are My ways your ways declares the Lord." Bad things happen. And more often than not, bad things happen to good people. But there is a PURPOSE and a REASON to everything, even if we can't understand why right now. God has it all planned out in a most perfect way, and it's all going to be okay, however it ends. Because it all ends, at some point.


I digress. I should be showering and getting ready to go job hunting some more, yet here I am blogging. I'll try to update my blog more often, as I don't seem to do so lately.
