Day 72: Join a nation in watching an event unfold

Today was one of those days in one’s life that they always remember where they were when they heard the news. The media frenzy successfully created a public obsession with the Casey Anthony trial. So when the verdict was read, I like most American was completely dismayed. However, I wonder if the jury realized that by acquitting her she would suffer far more out of prison than if she were incarcerated. She will soon be released into a society that despises her. She will try to make a life in a world that is unified in wanting her executed.  Images of her partying while her daughter rotted in a swamp will forever be burned in the memory of anyone who was old enough to turn on the telvision today. Her face will forever be the symbol of evil, selfishness, and murder. There is a reason Hitler committed suicide in the hours before his arrest.
