If you remember, back in the summer of 2011, just two years ago, I devoted many a post on this blog to the infamously insane circus that was the Casey Anthony trial. Now, Central Florida will again be the focus of the world in what will possibly be an even more sensational and intensely scrutinized courtroom drama extraordinaire.
I'm going to withhold my personal opinion as it stands thus far in this case primarily since I haven't really done due diligence in absorbing, and then filtering through, the massive amount of "evidence" surrounding this case, especially as it seems everywhere I look, I can't seem to get an objective, unbiased viewpoint. I don't remember a murder case that has sparked so much enmity among huge segments of the population for either the defendant or, amazingly, the victim. The internet is literally strewn with extremely passionate opinions. Unlike the Casey Anthony trial where virtually everyone agreed that the victim, little Kaylee, was undeserving of her fate, here, in this case, we have a huge contingency of people who feel the victim "got what he deserved."
All I know for sure, at this juncture, is that once again, the eyes of the world will be focused on our local area and our local courts for their insatiable need for dramatic spectacle. And who am I to nod disapprovingly? Are you kidding? I'll be right here, reporting on my first hand observation of what I'm sure, once again, will be the Comical and Crazy Courtroom Circus that is the Florida justice system.
