Shadows of a Quill

Without intent, it is negligent homicide.  So just how much importance is placed on intent?  Casey Anthony admitted intentionally lying to investigators.  She admitted intentionally not telling anyone her daughter was missing.  She even intentionally withheld pertinent information from those who were trying to help her find her daughter.

Now is it a different story if Casey Anthony intentionally placed duct tape over her daughter’s mouth so that no one would hear her scream? Did she then intentionally place her body in a garbage bag and dump her in the woods?

This article is suggesting just that… Intentional Murder

To me, it is the amount of suffering that was forced on Caylee.  Obviously Casey intended not to get caught, hence the lies, which also implies that she did something wrong.  People generally don’t feel the need to hide unless they know they are wrong.  The very first example of hiding is found in Genesis.  Here Adam and Eve hid because they knew the difference between right and wrong, and therefore knew they had done wrong.  Shame caused them to lie.  It seems nothing has changed as far as I can see.  People are still the same broken record, lying to hide their shame.

And Casey Anthony should be ashamed.  Now from a legal standpoint, the evidence of  intent pretty much cancels out the mentally unsound theory.  If she knew enough to hide, she knew it was wrong.  So in that regard, I suppose it is pretty important, although the proof of Casey’s intent for murder can not produce a deserving punishment for what she did to Caylee.

There has been a body of a 3 year old child found less then two blocks from the Anthony home.  Normally this would be a day of desperation, but as Tim from Equasearch pointed out, knowing what happened brings the chance for recovery and peace.   I am torn between a deep sadness and hope in finally seeing justice served.  I believe that God can heal all wounds, and Caylee is certainly in the arms of Jesus.  We await the test results…

Today, a grand jury decided there was enough evidence to hand down an indictment for murder against Casey Anthony in the missing persons case of her daughter Caylee Anthony.  For months, the blogger community has been split on her involvement in the disappearance of her daughter, and today, the grand jury vetoed all of our speculation.  Based on the facts which the state’s attorney has compiled surrounding this heart breaking case, there may be justice for Caylee.

For the first time since the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, Casey was seen crying on national television.  The prospect of 50 years in jail for check fraud could not move her, nor the thought of her daughter missing, yet today, facing the death penalty, Casey sheds a tear for the camera.

Included in the indictment handed down from the grand jury was a charge for first degree murder, which alleges Casey’s intent on ending the life of her 2 year old daughter.  Baez is not eligible to defend Casey on capital murder charges, but will surely tag along.

I would like to thank the jurors, as well as George Anthony, who did their duty in the pursuit of justice today.  I pray that this is a deterrence to other young mothers who are overwhelmed with motherhood.  Please know, there are safe places to take your children if you can’t or won’t take care of them yourself, where they will receive care and remain unharmed.  Any hospital or firehouse is a start.

Children do not have a choice in their birth, therefore the responsibility of their safety falls on us as a community and society every bit as much as their parents.   If you know a child in danger or neglect… speak up!

Is it an accident? Maybe.  When you are high you are not exactly in the greatest state for taking care of a needy 2 year old.

I am now thinking that Casey was indeed a meth user as I hypothesized before, also, that she was possibly leaving Caylee in dinky “roach” motels by herself.  I think Caylee probably tried to run after mommy, and got ran over.  Casey was afraid because she was not breathing, so she put her in the trunk of the car until she could figure out what to do with her.

The lies that she told were so intricate, that she was definitely not an average 22 year old.  She was deliberately making up intricate stories that lasted years.  These stories were to hide her drug problem.

Many times people with borderline psychiatric illnesses can become addicts, and in return, their illness is worsened over time by self medication.

The problem is that people who have no contact with drug addicts are oblivious of their existence.  They are prominent people, and homeless people.  They are mothers and fathers and daughters and sons.  They are respected by society, and they can be outcasts as well.  They all have this one thing in common, they do not want others to find out, therefore they lie.

The pure frequency of Casey’s lies alone, are enough to convince me that she had a definite drug problem, and we are not talking socially accepted drugs like alcohol.

She had been doing this for years, and was fooling dozens of people close to her.  Casey is not stupid, it does take some intellect to live such a double life.

Truthfully, she probably doesn’t remember what she did with Caylee. I am pretty sure she buried her, and may even have made a little grave marking.

She stated in one of her interviews that if she told where Caylee was, something would happen to her, and she would not be able to see her ever again.  I think she means they would exhume her body, and Casey would be in jail and she would not get to visit the shrine she made for Caylee.  She may have even inscribed a tree with the same phrase of her newest tattoo. Beautiful life.

The reason Casey’s not telling is because she doesn’t think she did anything wrong.  In her mind, she did the best she could after Caylee passed, and she doesn’t want that undone.  The scratches on the trunk… she was  backing out of the parking lot when Caylee ran to stop the car…  unknowing that she would be stopped instead.  Casey probably didn’t know what happened until she got out of the car and realized who it was.

It took Casey a few days to find a good place to bury the body.  All the while, Caylee was in the trunk.

The gas cans were to burn the cloths, not the body.  Her dad caught her with the gas cans, so she siphoned the gas from her tank to get the job done.

She went to her friends house and took a shower.  Later she went to Amy’s house to wash the cloths she had in the car to get the smell out.

Casey did not want to go to her mom and dad’s house because it reminded her too much of Caylee.

She is obviously grief stricken!  She has not made any pleas to the kidnappers, none to the public to help, she doesn’t even act like there is anything to do.  She has gone into the dinial mode, and is just living day to day trying not to think about it.  She is trying to move on with her life, which is obvious by her behavior.  She has not urgency to find Caylee, because she knows Caylee is gone to the Father.  She knows she will never hold Caylee again.  All she can hope for now is to have that secrete place in the woods to go visit her.

Casey Anthony is a meth addict:

This theory ties up all of the loose ends.  It explains why Casey is such a habitual and elaborate liar.  It explains why she partied so much, and brought her daughter to parties with her.  It explains where all of the unaccounted money has gone.  It explains why she wrote checks to different grocery stores from Amy’s account. (Who needs to go to 3 grocery stores in a row?) It explains why Cindy and George are acting like retards… trying to defend her position (they must be embarrassed, with George being X LE).  It explains how Casey could hide her pregnancy for 7 months.  It explains why Casey has such gaping holes in her memory.  It explains why Casey has imaginary friends.  It explains why Caylee was not petrified in normally traumatic situations that her mother put her in.  It explains the Chloroform in Casey’s car.

It explains the mind set of a mother who would drive around with her daughter’s dead body in the trunk of her car.  It explains why she would then go clubbing and be grinding with chicks she didn’t even know at the club.  It explains why Casey does not show emotion about the disappearance of her daughter (because meth robs you of normal emotions).  This explains Casey’s promiscuous sexual behavior.  This also explains her short relationships, with both friends and boyfriends.  This explains why Casey would call people she hasn’t spoken to in years to ask them if they want to go party with her.  This explains why Casey often just walked away from her car and claimed it ran out of gas (even though there was nothing wrong with the gauge).  This explains how Casey could disappear for days at a time.

This explains how Caylee may have died, and why Casey can’t remember where she put the body.

If you don’t know anything about meth… here is a short educational video from Florida LE.

Padilla noted that this phrase comes from a children’s book.  Another illusion of the Casey universe.
