Is KC's Trial a Taxpayer Ripoff?

Casey Anthony Trial Is A Taxpayer Ripoff

"Casey Anthony trial is a taxpayer ripoff." A few days ago, it was reported that prosecutors in the Casey Anthony murder trial said that it would likely be 2011 before her murder trial begins. Are you kidding me, this woman has been living in jail now for over a year and before that she was partying her butt off at the same time her two year old daughter had not been seen in almost one month. What in the heck is wrong with the criminal justice system in the State of Florida? At first, it was easy to blame all of these delays on Casey Anthony's attorney's - but now many of the reasons why this murder trial is being delayed falls at the feet of the prosecution and like it or not, the salaries for prosecution lawyers are being paid for by taxpayers in Florida. If I lived in Florida, especially the Orlando area - I would be mad as hell that my tax dollars are being wasted because of the chronic delays in bring this one woman to trial.

Sadly, the only reason why the State of Florida would be dragging it's feet to bring Casey Anthony to trial would be because they do not believe their evidence is strong enough to warrant a conviction. Frankly, I believe that Casey Anthony's defense team has the harder case to make simply because Casey Anthony's daughter, Caylee, went missing for almost a month while she rush out to party with friends almost every single night. No right thinking person would believe anything that came out of Casey Anthony's mouth, because she has been proven time and time again to lie to anyone who has been involved in this case.

If Florida prosecutors cannot win a conviction against a person like Casey Anthony, then they should be voted out of office for incompetence. In a strange sort of way, the people in the prosecutors office seem to be scared to death that if they take a defendant like Casey Anthony to trial and they somehow lose, they will pay a big price for that loss on election day. If that is what they are worried about, I would tend to agree that no one would vote for a prosecutor again if they let Casey Anthony walk free on murder charges. That said, the time for Casey Anthony's day in court is long overdue and judging by the lack of confidence the current prosecutor must place in his or her case, I am concerned that Casey Anthony could walk free because of that lack of confidence on the prosecutors part.

This just makes me so frustrated. If this guy had been following the case, he would know the delays are NOT due to the State. The State of Florida is bending over backwards trying to make sure this monster gets a fair trial since her life is at stake..... which, frankly, is more than she did for her own daughter....

I am a taxpayer of Florida, and I DO NOT... repeat DO NOT... feel the State is ripping me off!!

I agree, Snaz. This is not the state's fault.

Mark H, whoever that is, is probably just tired of this thing dragging on like it has and is afraid Casey might go free. News is slow these days, and people just want it over with Casey being found guilty.
