- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2011Although anyone profiting off the death of a child is thought provoking, I believe that Mr. Ashton's motives are above reproach. I hope that he does decide to donate a portion of the proceeds to help children's causes. That being said, I like so many others who found this case riveting, WILL NOT in any shape, form or fashion purchase anything that would profit the wonderful Ms. Anthony or her defense team. Anyone with a brain knows that she either willfully murdered her daughter (I think to make her mother suffer personally and the partying was an added plus) or killed her by accident and covered it up. The evidence is irrefutable that she KNOWS what happened to that baby and if the drowning theory had been the real deal, she would have told that early on.
This case saddened me so much, but fascinated as well. I have not totally finished the book, and this might be addressed, but I was amazed at all the "allegations" the scumbag Baez could throw out against everybody and anybody without having to produce one scentilla of proof....I would not have been surprised if he didn't blame it on Santa Claus before it was all over...amazing... I know the defense does not have the burden of proof, but I don't feel they should be able to attack individuals who aren't even on trial and it be a o.k. It was just amazing.
I also felt compassion for Cindy. She, like George, was so obvioulsy pained by the loss of Caylee and you could tell from Casey's wonderful expressions that she wasn't bothered by that at all. I truly believe that as stated, she and Cindy had a big blow up, and the death of Caylee was revenge from the typical self centered kids that are so prevelant today. Not many take it to that extreme, but a spoiled brat with emotional problems does not a good mix make. Cindy was in denial about the real character of Casey. As a former teacher, I saw it all the time. My child is an angel. I wanted to clarify an angel from where, but kept my mouth shut :)
If I could go back to school (time, money, etc.) I would become a prosecutor. I think I have a passion for defending the helpless among us, and I am SO TIRED of watching the criminals rights be of tantamount importance while the victim is not around (in many cases) to assert their rights. It is a tragedy.
Jeff, Linda and Frank did an excellent job. Why the jury returned the verdict they did I will never know. I have served on a jury before and it is not easy, but I just don't see how the facts of this case got lost on anyone. I just can't see it. If 31 days doesn't at least add up to child neglect, what does? It baffles the mind.
Good book, Mr. AShton. Thank you for letting us in on your take and things you couldn't say at trial. Enjoy your retirement. And we all know that although the death of Caley was not met with earthly justice, there is a Supreme Judge; and He can not and will not be fooled. Caley's death will be dealt with when in His time.
