Casey Anthony Trial

May Fio weigh in on the Casey Anthony trial? After all, everyone else has.

First of all, Fio doesn't think those tears of Casey's are of the crocodile variety, but they're certainly not tears of regret either. Fio thinks they're tears of nervousness and fear. Casey knows what she did, and now everyone else does too. What will the consequences be?

Second, Fio doesn't care if Casey was molested or her homelife was bad or whatever. That doesn't excuse murder. Look at Jaycee Dugard and how well she cared for her two daughters despite being kidnapped, repeatedly raped, and held in squalid captivity for years.

Third, Casey seems to be a person of impulse, a live-for-the-moment girl who acts first and thinks later, hence the lies. This aspect of her personality was probably born into her because her parents certainly aren't like that. Fio wonders if Casey just followed her impulse, step-by-step, to disencumber herself of her child.

Fourth, could jealousy have reared its ugly head? Casey's parents doted on Caylee, which Casey probably resented.

Fifth, her lawyer is a blow-hard, showboating idiot. But Casey's the one who chose him.
