Debi Cruz-Beck blogs almost everyday about motherhood, parenting and the like for her popular blog, The Truth About Motherhood. She writes with a distinctly snarky tone, particularly on Thursdays in her weekly wag-of-the-finger “Throat Punch Thursday” column. The week of June 3rd was entitled “Casey Anthony; Mommy’s a Homicidal Maniac Edition”:
This weeks Throat Punch has been a long time coming, this week’s recipient is none other than the award winning WORST MOTHER of the CENTURY Casey Anthony. Seriously, what f*cking planet is this broad from?… There has to be a special place in hell for the Casey Anthonys of the world.
Cruz-Beck wrote about the trial a couple more times after the not guilty verdict came in. In her July 7th “Throat Punch Thursday” column she announced to her readers that this would be the last time she blogged about the infamous mother:
“Yes, I know I should be giving a hefty Throat Punch to Casey Anthony for being the worst mom of the century but I think I’ve wasted enough time on making this sad and sorry woman into a celebrity. This is my last opinion on the subject: Casey Anthony is a woman who clearly has problems and has to live the rest of her life knowing she has let her daughter down; that she will never hold Caylee in her arms again and that no matter what the jury decided, in the American Public’s eye, she is guilty in thought, word and action.
With every media outlet giving varying amounts of credence to the Casey Anthony saga, the country appears captured by what some are calling the “trial of the century.” Last week, Casey Anthony was the top newsmaker, with more stories appearing about her than Barack Obama, the Obama administration, and Dominique Strauss-Kahn combined. Along with the surprise verdict came an indignant public fallout—but the true emotional frontier for the scandal (besides Nancy Grace’s CNN program) exists on blogs authored by mothers.
It’s a phenomenon often referred to as “Mommy Blogs.” And while some bloggers would say that term makes them cringe, mommy bloggers are a very successful bunch, with some pulling in an enviable readership and selling enough ads to make a living off their writing. Motherhood may be the topic that connects these bloggers, but the recent Casey Anthony scandal is also a unifying force, joining this segment of the blogosphere together for a furious bonding session.
Jacqueline Burt, a staff writer for CafeMom’s blog “The Stir,” and a contributor to glossies such as Parents, American Baby, and Parenting, says she was so horrified by the case, she felt that she had to write about it. “It felt like my responsibility to write about it since we knew our readers were upset about it,” says Burt. But for her, the subject matter is also personal, “In the back of your head as a mom it’s always, what if someone did this to my kid. We look at the pictures of her (Caylee) and we immediately see our kids.”
Burt’s latest story on the trial, “Casey Anthony’s Hair Should Be Chopped Off,” was one of The Stir’s top hits following the not guilty verdict:
As if Casey Anthony wasn’t already the creepiest thing since, oh, I don’t know, O.J., the killer mom waited until the day of her sentencing to let her hair down … literally.
Burt instinctively knows what is infuriating her audience; It’s the same happenings that are irking her. “It’s our job to tune into what people are interested in,” says Burt, “and the hair thing really blew up because a lot of moms took offense to that.”
These people are SICK. None sicker than the "mommy bloggers"

I am outraged w/this verdict - outraged w/the jurors-outraged w/the corrupt defense attorney's. I cannot get closure on this yet - and the thought that she will get paid a lot of money for her crime is just inconceivable to me. I have to believe in Karma and that she will get paid back down the road for her crime. And she will commit another crime and end up in prison where she belongs. And I hope that the jurors will realize that they let a murderer go free and feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

I am just as upset today as when I heard the verdict. Its just so hard to believe there were 12 lamebrains as jurors and that they actually let her go free. Why would anyone with brains want to watch her in a tv interview? She won't tell the truth, she'll just smile and preem for the cameras. It is all about her and always has been. Those who twitterd and blogged and helped the defense in their attack on George....be careful and think first. Another jury consultant will do the same as the defense one did in this case. Caylee will get her justice but she's going to have to wait....not long I hope.

Sorry this is so long, but I believe it covers all the main points. So I’m going
REASONABLE OR UNREASONABLE - YOU BE THE JUDGE
Are all people that disagree with the Jury UNREASONABLE and the Jury REASONABLE,
when it comes to reasonable doubt? Just ask Cheney Mason, he thinks so.
Let’s test this concept -
If the Jury believed that George was involved with the Duct Tape -
Then here’s what the Jury HAD to conclude from:
George & the Duct Tape -
These are Facts that no-one disputes:
The Duct tape came from the Anthony home.
The Duct tape was on the Missing Caylee Posters, and it was placed on some posters by George.
And, finally it was attached to Caylee’s skull.
So,
I posit that the Jury HAD to believe:
George a was involved in a crime -
A crime involving duct tape -
With said tape ending up on Caylee’s face -
And that George simply fu_ _d up and forgot to get rid of the duct tape.
Then when a Mere 31 Days pass, Not 10 years, 31 Days, - And Caylee is said to be Missing . . .
Aside: George must have said something like “Oh sh_t, I hope I got rid of all the evidence…”
The Jury HAD to believe:
When, the public knew nothing about a crime (other than kidnapping) -
A crime involving duct tape.
George, the guy who put said tape on Caylee’s face during this crime,
fu_ _d up again and grabbed the same exact duct tape from this crime and said :
“Hey you guys need to put up some posters . . . . Wait, I’ve got some Duct tape” . . .
All this from a former Police Officer/Detective.
Thus, I conclude this is what the Jury HAD to conclude:
Not might have concluded.
Not possibly have concluded.
But, HAD to conclude from George & the Duct Tape.
Either George is the biggest f_ _k up ever . . . or this Jury is . . .
What else can explain it . . .
The Duct Tape - DNA or Fingerprints -
The evidence clearly showed that there was NO DNA or Fingerprints on the Duct tape.
It’s also clear that some human being, on this planet, put this duct tape where it was (on Caylee’s Face) . . .
Unless you believe that the Henkle Tape (rare and out of circulation), which clearly came from the Anthony home, magically floated from their home, and instead of landing on all the BAZILLION other places on Planet Earth it could have landed, it landed on Caylee’s Face. Which was triple bagged, wrapped in a blanket, and laying in a swamp down the street from the Anthony home.
Since a human being put this duct tape where it was (on Caylee’s Face).
Let’s consider who might have put this tape on Caylee’s face.
(In alphabetical order)
Caylee Anthony, Casey Anthony, Cindy Anthony, George Anthony, Lee Anthony, Geraldo Rivera,
or the rest of Humanity!
I think that every one would agree that Caylee did not put the tape on her own face.
So that leaves ALL the rest.
Thus NO DNA or Fingerprints on the tape Excludes ALL of them.
And NO DNA or Fingerprints on the tape Includes ALL of them.
To explain the lack of DNA or Fingerprints on the Duct Tape -
The time in the swamp, which deteriorated the evidence, seems to be a logical conclusion to me.
But apparently not to the Jury. I mean even Caylee’s DNA was not found on the tape and it was attached to her skull. But the Jury didn’t accept that prosecution theory.
I posit another theory. A novel concept, that either - this Jury didn’t think of - or since they rejected all the other science in this case - they might have rejected this phenomenon also. As the science of this theory is extremely complicated - unless, of course, you have a PHD in Forensics from MIT.
Theory: THE KILLER WORE GLOVES. DUH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can only assume that the Jury didn’t think of

Theory: THE KILLER WORE GLOVES. DUH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can only assume that the Jury didn’t think of this?
What’s the big deal, I mean wouldn’t wearing a simple pair of Gloves eliminate Fingerprints or DNA?
Even immediately, let alone after six months in a swamp? Somewhere, I can’t remember where exactly, I’ve heard that people, who commit crimes, have used gloves for quite some time. And I believe I’ve heard they use gloves to prevent their DNA or Fingerprints from remaining on the evidence.
But hey, I could have been misinformed . . .
So who was it? Casey Anthony, Cindy Anthony, George Anthony, Lee Anthony, Geraldo Rivera, or the rest of Humanity!
As for the rest of Humanity - I believe they had an alibi!
Well, Cindy was at work - she’s out. Lee was at work - he’s out. George showed up at work, on time, behaving normally - Besides, if he was such a f_ _k up with a simple thing like the Duct Tape, don’t you think the Cops would have found him f_ _ _ ing up something else? And, the Police looked the whole family up, down and sideways, and came out with nothing - Except Casey. The simple truth is that Florida PD spent thousands of hours looking at this case and it all came back to Casey.
Maybe it was because Casey’s cell phone records showed that she was the only family member in her family’s neighborhood on June 16, 2008, until she went to her boyfriend’s house.
That’s pretty damning evidence. Don’t ya think???
Or, according to this Jury’s logic, maybe Jose Baez was right, they just hate Sluts so much down there in Florida, that they just want to strap a Slut to the chair and fry ‘em.
In fact, they must hate Sluts so much; they’d rather fry a Slut, than find the real murderer of a two-year-old girl.
Sound logical ??? . . . Well, at least to the Jury it did . . .
As for me, I’m going with Casey . . . Although; Geraldo has never explained his whereabouts???????????
If you still don’t think it’s Casey, just look at the Shovel issue below.
The Shovel -
Since the Jury believed George was involved - I would ask them this simple question:
Who asked for, received, and returned the shovel to the neighbor- George or Casey?
The answer, to my knowledge is Casey. That’s what the neighbor said.
So with all this stuff (child missing, dead body smell in car (which Dogs, forget Humans said was there), Casey’s One Million Lies, etc. etc. etc.)
What exactly did SHE, and ONLY SHE, need a shovel for.
A shovel , which SHE asked a neighbor for,
A shovel, which SHE received from the neighbor,
A shovel, which SHE returned to the neighbor within 45 Minutes, I believe.
Oh by the way, I believe that it was testified to in court that George had shovels or a shovel, in the locked up shed. So if George was involved, and needed a shovel why didn’t he just get one from his shed?
I guess the Jury thought George was such a f_ _k up he must have misplaced the key that day!
There is NO, NO, NO George in the shovel event at all. Period!!!!
So again I ask: What EXACTLY did SHE, and only SHE, need a shovel for ????????
Body in Car -
I can only conclude that this Jury believed the Dogs were lying. I mean what other conclusion can one draw. If the Dogs (impartial animals), who are specifically trained to find Human Decomp., not 31-day-old Pizza, and Cind

Body in Car -
I can only conclude that this Jury believed the Dogs were lying. I mean what other conclusion can one draw. If the Dogs (impartial animals), who are specifically trained to find Human Decomp., not 31-day-old Pizza, and Cindy’s 911 call don’t convince them, that there was a dead body in the car, then they clearly have a different common sense meter than I do. Also, Caylee’s Dolly in the car (not trunk) smelled like death!!!!!!!
Just think what they had to believe.
Cindy called 911 and made up a story that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body.
I mean, why on Earth would they believe that ANYONE, who just found out that their granddaughter was missing/kidnapped, would come up with the idea “Oh geez . . . I think I’ll tell the Cops I smelled a dead body in my daughter‘s car”. And then give the greatest acting performance, EVER, on a 911 call.
If they didn’t believe Dogs and the sincerity of Cindy’s emotion on that call, then there is nothing anyone can do or say to get through to them. Except maybe their Guru, Jose Baez.
Think of the twisted logic these jurors had to follow, to conclude that there was no dead body in the car.
Amazing!!!!
Cause of Death -
Unless I’m mistaken the coroner said she could NOT prove Cause of Death.
The Jury seemed to believe this part of her testimony . . . So VWALLA. . . We’re outta here, let’s go home!!
So here’s an analogy for them:
Assume for a moment that after WWII it was IMPOSSIBLE to detect whether Gas, by Inhalation, would kill someone.
From this Jury’s logic (re: cause of death) I believe that it would be fair to presume that:
If these Jurors found 6 million bodies in a hole, somewhere in Germany, a year after WWII, they would NOT conclude that it was murder. But, that the 6 million people accidentally fell in a hole and where mysteriously covered up.
I mean come on . . .After all Caylee was found in a plastic bag (multiple I believe is correct).
Don’t they think that alone could possibly have, you know, impeded her breath somewhat?
Maybe even to the point of death?
If you don’t think so, try it. Stick a plastic bag (or a few) over your head and see what happens.
Just be sure to have an EMT around when you do it.
That’s why the coroner said you also had to look at Manner of Death, which she said was Homicide.
Because, according to her (coroner), you have to take into account all the circumstances of the event.
I guess they think the coroner must have been lying about this part of her testimony.
That’s not much of a stretch, if you believed the Dogs were lying during their testimony.
Woof, Woof . . .
Casey’s Actions from June 16, 2008 on -
June 16 - Casey goes arm and arm with her boyfriend, Tony, to Blockbuster to rent a Movie -
June 17 till Verdict- To show that she was such a Good Mother, she did the following -
Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Lie, Compete in a Hot Body Contest. Party, Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Get a “Bella Vita” Tattoo, Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Lie, Party, Make up new lie about Zanny the Nanny.

No longer look demure, like a schoolmarm. And give the Big Finger to the whole world, through her Attorney Cheney Mason.
I know that the Jury couldn’t consider any of her actions after the acquittal, but it appears, FROM THEIR OWN STATEMENTS, that they didn’t consider anything about her actions . . . EVER.
They thought it was normal behavior. . I mean their Guru Jose’s Expert Grief Counselor told them so . . .
Why should they think otherwise?
Go figure . . .
Well, there you have it. You’re the Jury now. You decide who’s REASONABLE when it comes to reasonable doubt - A. This Jury - or - B. The rest of Humanity.

I don't understand why the jury IGNORED the charge of neglect? Shouldn't not reporting the death of your child, hiding the body, etc. be grounds for conviction and punishment ?? I believe there was enough evidence to convict, but if we have to live with the fact the jury made the wrong decision about murder, why should we accept them ignoring the obvious issue of N.E.G.L.E.C.T???????

I believe Casey Anthony killed her daughter Caylee. If Caylee accidently died in the families pool, why did the Anthony's throw her body on the side of the road like a piece of trash. Why did the Anthony's continue to have search and reseach teams looking for Caylee, if they say she died in the pool. I'm sorry to say this but I F***KING HATE THE ANTHONY FAMILY. I would never in a million years party and have fun and my child just died. Casey didn't show any feelings of grief for Caylee.
