Anthony verdict

[veronica_rich]

OK, Florida fen (and others, I suppose) - I kept up almost not at all with the whole Casey Anthony thing, aside from having heard her and her daughter's name once in a while in the news the past few years. (Yeah, you might think this hard to do, but I assure you, there's plenty else in the news to occupy me, since watching certain other topics is sort of part of my job.)

What do you think about today's acquittal?

Just to play devil's advocate about the locked in car thing:
Today one of the local radio personalities detailed on air how she and a bunch of people broke into somebody's car to rescue their puppy. The couple that owned the puppy had left the window open a crack but the inside of the vehicle was still hot enough to bake cookies. They were astonished that this wasn't enough. So, do people hate their puppies? Or do they just have lower IQs?
(I should mention that I recall hearing a story about some guy who left his kid in the car and was arrested pretty soon after. You see, he left the kid in the car outside the police station, when he went in to do something. Dumb!)

However, this doesn't mean I don't think that parents don't "accidentally" kill children. My friend Mari told me about some local case where a child in an East Indian family died with a broken back because he uncle "accidentally" fell on her.
