NOT GUILTY: What's Next?


By now the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial is old news. The liquid bubbly from the defense attorney's rather callous celebration in public is dry; the lead prosecutor is already focused on retirement plans; and it has to be going through Nancy Grace's mind that she is reaching the point where she needs to reduce her amount of coverage in this 3-year-old saga.

I think the next few months will be telling for both the so-called Tot Mom and Nancy Grace.
If Casey gets off without having to serve much time, she could potentially go after Grace and HLN for in some sort of fashion, especially if she is the continued focus of these reports. I say Nancy Grace because originally Nancy broke the story. She held up that spotlight and brought national attention to this case. Who could ever forget her wide assortment of panelists reviewing and picking apart every detail of 30 seconds of looped footage.

Casey could reasonably find an attorney who could take on this case. While it's not likely to happen, that doesn't mean that it's unimaginable, considering everything that we've seen in this case.

Casey could claim that Grace made this personal and had a vendetta against her. It's interesting to note that multiple outlets were carrying stories soley based on Grace's reaction. She totally has become entrenched in this case.

But if such a case were to come up, it could potentially cause news stations to think twice about their coverage and become a little more conservative in their speech.

In the meantime, there is a little girl that deserves justice. Sadly, egos, ratings, and lies are preventing her from getting that.
