Unbelievable: The Casey Anthony Verdict

DPCaseyAnthony
Not guilty. 

Those two words sent the arms of every individual in this country up in the air in total disbelief. How can this be? Is this for real? Are we serious? 

Not sure. Yes. And unfortunately, yes.

The verdict of the recent Casey Anthony case is by far the most controversial since that of the OJ Simpson trial. And we all are very aware how that trial ended as well. 

However, the acquittal of Casey Anthony is one that not only causes us to question the validity of justice throughout our nation, but the current judicial system as a whole. While I do understand our constitutional right to due process, this case was as sure as sure can be when it came to the gut reaction. 

She did it.

I’ve yet to meet a person who thought otherwise. And I’m sure, you won’t either.

We can chalk this one up as another “we knew you did it, but we can’t prove it” situation. 

Casey Anthony walks God’s green earth a free woman today due to a prosecution that was unable to undoubtedly prove how Caylee Anthony died, and most importantly, link her death to Casey Anthony’s doing. 

However, the fact remains, a child is dead. And her death will never receive the justice it deserves.
Complete disbelief. 

This case allowed a person that heinously murdered a child to walk free. However, I can’t help but wonder to the contrary, a man that shot himself in a nightclub, and a man convicted of killing dogs each served two years in prison. 

Yes, this is true. 

Yes, this is real. 

Yes, and unfortunately, this is serious.

Unbelievable.

Was It Ever Real?

Does time change me? Or, did I evolve through experience? How many signals did I miss? Or, did I choose this fate? Do I understand the wrongs and regrets? Or, did I act with the best interest in the moment? What did they say about me? And, what will they say about me today? Was I appreciated? Or, did I imagine that? What were the opinions in the shadows? And, what were the feelings expressed before me? Is it a misunderstanding?  Or, a matter of not confirming?  Why didn’t it last? Or, was it never meant to? …ever able to? Was it ever real? Some of it? Part of it?

Pondering with Plumtree:Having Fun: Ponderings From #TNANYC 1/7 & 1/9 Tapings

Pondering with Plumtree is a column on the popular blog, TNAsylum, that is written by yours truly. The blog is focused towards being a fan site for TNA Wrestling fans where they can get news, rumors, opinions, and any and everything else, TNA Wrestling. Known as "The Haven for TNA Wrestling Fans", I'm hoping to bring some of my thoughts to an already impressive roster of columnist for as long as the site will have me.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/23/25

3 Up   1. New Old Cookbook - I thought this was really cool. The oldest published cookbook just got a remake and is now available. The cookbook, by Malinda Russell, is 160 years old. There has to be some really good (clean) stuff in that book. It's also Black History Month (are we still allowed to push that?), and there's a lot of history and significance that can be found through food.  2. Frankie Munoz - This dude went from Malcolm in the Middle and decided, I'm gonna be a race car driver! Munoz finished 10th recently in his debut as a NASCAR driver.  3. Yankees Policy - It's about time. The Yankees really were eventually going to find themselves in something MUCH uglier than a narrative surrounding "would George have done this?!" or "Why, this is the Yankee way!". Kudos to Hal Steinbrenner for the move.  3 Down 1. Another Plane Crash - This one in Toronto. A place landed on its roof. What is going on out there? Doesn't help when you read and ...
