I am sure that Casey Anthony is one of the most reviled mothers of all time. After all she was accused of killing her beautiful baby girl, or at the very least committing some gross act of negligence that resulted in death for Caylee.
Casey Anthony was tried and found not guilty of all crimes relating to the death of Caylee Anthony, and she walked out of jail scott free. Or so we all thought. And that is the part that concerns me.
Miss Anthony had been placed on probation for another crime while in jail awaiting trial on charges related to the death of her child.
In their anger and shame at having lost the murder trial, the State contended that probation was not served while in jail. Therefore Miss Anthony would have to return to Florida to serve out the probation. Judge Belvin Perry, under tremendous pressure, caved in and sided with the State. Now we all sit with bated breath, hoping Miss Anthony will violate her probation.
As the relative of several people who have been incarcerated, I can tell you that Miss Anthony served her probation while in jail. No question about it.
Don't get me wrong, I am not shedding any tears for Miss Anthony, but I am thinking about the rest of us.
Does this give the State the right to play this slimey kind of trickery after they have lost a case? That's scary. What happens if this becomes a common place move? It's an end run around the Justice System
If the State of Florida condones this action, what other shady moves should we be concerned about? Two slimes don't make a right.
