It’s embarrassing to be roped in again to another trial of the day. I swore off after O.J., but here I am following quite closely.
Two of the jurors picked could hang the jury. One is reluctant to “judge anyone else”, and the other said he couldn’t impose a death penalty. Both jurors were coaxed into serving anyway and brought around to agreement and “accepted”, gleefully I’m sure, by the defense. You can imagine the possibilities with them, or with reluctant others who were not so vocal but are also serving.
I wouldn’t feel too bad about it. I didn’t watch O.J.’s trial, and normally I don’t follow any trial all that closely, but I think what drives many, including myself, to watch this one is that fact that this adorable and innocent child needs and deserves justice.
I find myself asking why do such horrible things happen to people such as Caylee, good and innocence itself personified. The answer is because evil exists. I can see it plain as day on the face of her mother. Evil deserves justice too, swift and harsh, and so I watch, praying that justice will be done.
I don’t mean to be too preachy, but essentially, this trial boils down to a battle between Good and Evil for me.
I share your concern regarding that.
