I am not sure if it's because she is just a little older than my daughter or because it's a local story, but I have been following the Caylee Anthony case since it broke. Not since Scott Peterson have I been such a Nancy Grace addict. And from the moment the news broke, like many other people, I felt Casey was guilty.
Today, the remains found recently were confirmed to be little Caylee's. Although I am thankful that the little girl can finally be put to rest, my heart aches for her. My hope is that she did not suffer. :(
I have never been one to believe in the death penalty. Mainly because in the past many were wrongly accused, convicted and put to death only to find out later that they were innocent. But the days of DNA have taken us beyond that. Another reason I was opposed to the death penalty was because truthfully it does cost taxpayers more to put someone to death than to house them in prison for the rest of their lives. But, for the first time in my life I hope this woman gets what's coming to her. To party and have fun while your poor little girl was laying in those woods in pieces... I just cannot imagine. Sick.
And in my very opinionated opinion, the grandmother is no angel either. She has covered things up and lied over and over. I am proud to say that my mother would disown me if I behaved in the way Casey did. There is just something really wrong with that family.
My only hope is that Caylee is celebrating this Christmas in a better place. Finally at peace.

We've been following as well. I'm hoping that with these results, the grandparents come to their senses and stop protecting their daughter. I cannot fathom what kind of person is capable of this.

Reese and Brianne are very close in age to Caylee and I have been following this story close as well. I cannot comprehend how any mother could do this to their child either. It just makes me sick to my stomach and my heart aches for what that little girl went through. As a grandmother myself, I don't understand her mom's actions. The whole situation is so very, very sad, and none of it was Caylee's fault. I do hope she is at peace now as well.
