Caylee Anthony and Lindbergh cases

There's a difference between explaining how the system works as an expert and lecturing people over your spectacles at the mnost hotly contested time. I dare say Dershowitz has made as much money doing the latter as he has being a lawyer...and he's probably made more enemies. Why do these people not spring up when a killer actually goes to jail and justice for the victim is actually served (well, unless they can show up saying how barbaric anyone who supposrts the death penalty is, that is)? Because they can't lecture the emotional proletariat to make themselves feel intelectually superior then. It's only when people are riled up about a lost child that they feel the need to interject their cold and calculated rhetoric in such a way as to try and make someone feel guilty for being mad.

Well...

There's a lot of lecturing going on, that's for sure.

Lightning strikes at site where Caylee's remains were found

Hours after Casey Anthony learned on Thursday that she will leave jail next week, lightning apparently struck a tree next to a makeshift memorial in honor of her slain daughter, Caylee.

No one saw lightning strike the pine tree on Suburban Drive in Orange County, Florida, where teddy bears and flowers mark the spot where 2-year-old Caylee's remains were found on December 11, 2008.

But long, diagonal strips of exposed wood scarred the tall pine tree, WESH reported, and bits of bark lay scattered across the road.

"It could be a sign from the angels that they aren't happy with what's happened," a visitor to the site told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper. "The rain, the lightning, the storm – it's the heavens indicating they aren't happy."

uh oh.... The omnipotent, magical sky wizard be pissed. Of course by that I mean Zeus

I challenge anyone to watch this HBO documentary about the McDonald's case in particular, and more specifically about how the big business and political interests are playing the very people who are protected by the court system of justice into becoming allies with those interests who want to limit their rights to justice.

Anyone who freely throws out "law suit abuse" and "tort reform" without seeing this very accurate film will benefit by it. It is absolutely agenda driven, but absolutely true. It does not erase the fact that there are always reforms and tweaks to any system, but it will challenge and educate many of the very smart people here who think that their opinion on the coffee case.....and on tort reform issues......is based upon all the facts.

I urge anyone to see this as a "now you know the rest of the story" educational tool. And if anyone knows of a good film or documentary showing, exposing the practice of insurance fraud/false claims that arise in the system, I would love to have that included too - and we can break it into a separate thread and see what folks think after viewing both.

I don't care if McDonald's gets the Death Penalty now.

They did not. If you propagate the lie that they did get screwed, you are doing as disservice to the system of justice that delivered that verdict. And I know that you saying what you just said was not borne out of malice or meanness or bad intent - but out of you not caring enough to find out the basic facts of the case (and why should you care that much?) - so that your opinion is an informed one, and you like many people fall into a willingness to comment about something because there an often repeated urban legend out there for you to buy, and it is far easier to continue to spread a sort of lazy lie that lots of people will support you on.

"Leave the system of justice alone!"

What he meant to say is, "There's a lot of...well, badness in the world today. I see it in court every day. The most important decision you can make right now is what you stand for- goodness...or badness. "

But STFU and let people be upset by the loss of a child. It doesn't mean they are stupid, it means they have a soul...maybe you could take some lessons.

More than 20,000 children die...every...single...day.

I'm just glad that I don't get Facebook spam for every...single...one...of...them.

I would just like to give a big F-you to the media for making me have to hear about all this crap again. I was quite happy to be rid of it when I left Florida back in January. It was inescapable at work there, and it was just as bad once it went national and the local news was rehashing everything I'd heard six months ago. Can't wait until it fades back to being a central Florida news topic.

Ok, you can all go back to your legal talk now.
