Casey Anthony

Although Casey Anthony is highly suspicious and is the prime suspect, there is definitely not enough evidence to prove that she was guilty. It is unfair for the public to judge her just by their personal views. She could be innocent and yet, suffering under the prejudices of the public who see how as a heartless murderer of her own daughter. It is possible that the public does not really believe her story or feel that it is injustice to acquit her. However, I felt that there was no need for the public to be so malicious to her. Instead they should just keep their thoughts to themselves and give her the benefit of doubt. Casey Anthony was vilified both in the media and online; after the verdict was announced, the "I hate Casey Anthony" Facebook page received almost 39,000 "likes". I felt that that was very unnecessarily and since she was acquitted, the public should just let it be. There was certainly no need for such acts as there would not be any effect and it was also very cruel. It simply showed how the people lacked maturity in doing such childish acts. Since Casey Anthony was already acquitted, we should let bygones be bygones. Even if she did kill her daughter, the verdict would have no effect on us. This event has showed how unmerciful and unforgiving we can be as it is not even proven that she is the murderer and we are already treating her as though she was the greatest criminal of all time. If she had committed the crime, she should feel the guilt and suffer the consequences for it in the future but the consequences should not be created or her by us. And if she was totally innocent as she claimed, it would be the most unfair for her as she had been judged the moment she was suspected to be part of the murder and as though we all prejudiced against her even before the verdict was announced. There could be a third possibility that Casey Anthony was insane when she committed the crime or she was suffering from some psychological disorder the the moment when she killed her daughter such as depression. It could be a case where she really could not control herself and killed her daughter when she was not thinking straight. In conclusion, we should not have preformed judgement against Casey Anthony or any other person in a situation just like her for there is always a possibility that he/she is innocent and they do not deserve such treatment from us.
