Casey Anthony Indicted By Grand Jury

Yesterday Casey Anthony's luck seemed to run out. The mother of missing 3 year old tot, Caylee Marie Anthony was indicated by a Grand Jury on 7 different counts. The counts were first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of Caylee. Casey is being held without bond, so this time she will definitely have to stay in jail.

If Casey Anthony is convicted of manslaughter she could be facing the death penalty or life in prison. It is my understanding from watching Nancy Grace that if Casey Anthony is given the death penalty and it is carried out, she would be the first woman in Florida history to be put to death.

It only took the Grand Jury 30 minutes after listening to the facts of the case, despite not having a body, to indict Casey Anthony. I can only guess that the prosecution made a pretty good case without having to have the body. As everyone knows, what goes on in a Grand Jury trial is kept secret from the public, although yesterday speakers outside the courthouse were turned on and filtered into the media trucks parked outside. However, they were warned that they could face charges of criminal contempt if they repeated anything they had heard. I wonder. will that stop them?

What got me the most was the fact that Casey Anthony cried yesterday when the indictment came down. Now, I'm sure most of us would cry if they were facing life in prison or death. What gets me about this situation is that through this whole thing, Casey has never once broke down in tears in front of the public. Not when her child was supposedly kidnapped. Not all the months she was "searching" for her daughter in between spending stolen money at various places such as Target and Winn-Dixie. Not when it's been 4 months since she's seen little Caylee. Instead, she was out partying with her friends, buying beer and living off her friends money.

I'm sorry if I sound heartless, no, really I'm not. Casey Anthony, Susan Smith or any of the other mothers who have killed their children (supposing Casey has killed Caylee and it seems that's what has happened more and more every day) with premeditation should be killed or at the very least spend their entire lives behind bars without parole.

There is no worse crime than hurting or killing an innocent child or an elderly person. People who cannot defend themselves. It is cowardly, mean and beyond comprehension for most people, including myself. Children are meant to be coddled and loved. Elderly people are meant to be treated with respect. What has this world come to when you see more and more mothers killing their children, throwing their newborns into trash containers or rolling them into a river in a car?

As a mother who thought she could never have children and was finally blessed after 10 years of marriage with three children, I do not understand why these parents believe that killing their child is the only option of getting rid of them. There are so many couples out in the world who would love to have a child. Who hope and pray to God every day for one. Who would love to raise these children who are getting killed. From watching this case on Nancy Grace night after night, I know for a fact that Cindy and George Anthony would gladly have raised little Caylee if Casey no longer wanted to. They should have been given that chance.

Casey, you can cry those crocodile tears all you want. I do not feel sorry for you in the least. It is little Caylee who I pray for and hope that is still, miraculously still alive somewhere.
