Man on the Moon

Yesterday, Casey Anthony was released from jail and promptly vanished into thin air.  Can't really blame her for that, I suppose.  Despite being found not guilty by a jury of her peers, she is widely believed to have killed her daughter, Caylee, and gotten away with it.  I have no doubt that some would like to take matters into their own hands.  I am not conflicted on that point.  The jury spoke and we all have to live with it.  On one hand, she stood trial and was found not guilty.  I tend to respect jury's findings just because that is how the system works.  The prosecution was based on circumstantial evidence and they failed to establish the facts beyond reasonable doubt.  We have all seen people convicted with less compelling circumstantial evidence, and her behavior, whether guilty or not, was appalling.  I thought she did it and still do.  Why else would you not report your missing daughter for thirty days, party during that time, or lie to police?  With so much about the case we don't know, this I know for certain.  Even if she killed Caylee, she will not get away with it.  First, she is a pariah and will have to keep a low public profile, before the book and movie come out, course.  She will be reviled for the rest of her life.  Secondly, she will not be able to fool God on Judgement Day.  That is when  she will pay for killing Caylee, if in fact she did.  Then, justice will be served, no matter who killed the child or behaved with such depraved indifference as Casey Anthony behaved.
