Do you really care if Casey's mom gets the death penalty?
"The Orange County State Attorney's Office said in a news release last week that "it is not in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida" to pursue the death penalty against Anthony. "
Why isnt it in your best interest? Seriously, I hate it when officials make comments for me. If I lived in Florida, and they had a solid case, I say kill the beech.
Re: WTF? If you live in Florida!
let the bee-otch burn... who would want to pay the taxes to keep her alive, dressed, and fed for free for the rest of her life? not me!
I agree with you. I think it is more of a punishment to be put in general population and have to deal with being in prison the rest of your life than be put to death. That's an easy way out for them. I think the other inmates would take care of her just fine.
Strangely, prisioners / criminals, have their own code when it comes to children. I bet quite a few would love to get her hands on her. She won't last long if she's not in a private area.
The cost of the numerous appeals, first through the state court system, then through the state habeas system, then the federal habeas system, coupled with whatever lack of evidence they may have that would support the state-specific statutory "aggravating circumstances" that are necessary for a death penalty case, MAY be why the State Attorney's office said it was not in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida.
I'm not arguing against anyone's personal reaction to Casey Anthony or the case, I'm just trying to point out some of the possible realities of the situation.
