A few mibutes ago I watched 48 Hours on CBS via the internet because I missed it last night. The story was about Casey Anthony, the mother who is being accused of killing her 2 year old daughter Caylee Marie. To be honest I was appualed and very dissapointed in CBS and I'm not the only one. The worst segment during the broadcast happened when a mock jury was placed in a room to weigh in on Casey's guilt. The kicker? Richard Gabriel was in control of the group. Who is Richard? Richard is a defense attorney for Casey! That's right! CBS let one of Casey's lawyers persude a mock jury and guess what? Most of the group aquited her. Of course they "aquited" her! They were muniplated by one of her supprters! The rest of the special only focused on the defense's point of view and only had one person speaking against Casey. This person has nothing to do with the case. It would have been nice to have the prosecuters opinons also. Ya know, the people who are trying throw her butt in jail? CBS was completley one sided and that is the root of all the controversey the episode is getting. It seems as if CBS only cared about defending Casey despite the evidence.
In fact, the mock jury made comments about Casey's mental health and that maybe the baby's death was an accident. It was as if they were all standing around a water cooler at work. They saw evidence the public has seen. They have heard arguments that the public has heard. They were never put into a room with 100% of the evidence or being able to hear both sides of the case, so how in the world can CBS show these people standing up and saying yes she is innocent. It pisses me off and breaks my heart that a trusted news progam can let this happen. A beautiful child has been murdered and they did not defend her what so ever. Its disgusting. In the end all that matters is justice for Caylee<3
