Like the spring flowers that perennially bloom around this time of year, fair-minded justice peeks its head out in the Casey Anthony case. The judge in the Casey Anthony case blocked the staged jailhouse video from being released, stating that it would harm Casey’s right to a fair trial. Finally after all the madness of this case, has common sense raised its head in this unfair treatment of Casey Anthony?

Never before have we seen an individual so utterly exposed before trial. The creepy voyeuristic public appetite will just have to get through the day without some Casey morsels to chew on. The jailhouse was wrong to do this and this writer told you so. Now the law tells you I was right. The tricks of the jailers will not be rewarded and you should all be happy with that. Next time you’ll listen to me. The abuse of the Sunshine Law needs to be looked at here. The judge recognized that enough is enough.

Even with this latest ruling, the chance Casey could have to a fair trial in Orlando is as about as good of a chance as Disney lowering their admission price to ten dollars. At least this was the first attempt to reel back some of the hyper-exposure that left Miss Anthony a victim of mob justice. However, nothing can change the fact that this case should be moved to another venue.

When strangers gather to cry over the anniversary of the death of a child they’ve never met, things have gotten too spooky around Orlando. A chance for a fair trial there doesn’t exist. Anyone with a brain can see that this case has taken on some cult-like kind of thing and should be tried somewhere far away from the strange attention this case draws in Orlando. It is one thing to care about the death of Caylee, it is altogether another thing when you take it to a level as if you knew the child. Compassion is one thing. Cult-like weirdness is another. This case with no cause of death, no eyewitness, no ties to the remains and all of the negative forensic tests needs to take a new posture and bail should be revisited.

This ruling signifies an attempt to return to the law and jurisprudence. Casey Anthony is innocent until it is proven she is guilty. Defendants and the accused have rights. Having this axiom reaffirmed by the judge gives this writer a big I told you so. Chalk one up for justice.
