The untiring effort to prosecute Casey Anthony seems to have no end. Nowhere in sight is it visible to the independent eye that this woman is getting a fair shake.

Today in court, December 16, 2009, the judge denied the defense’s motion to throw out the videos of Casey in jail that have become so public. Citing the Sunshine Law and stating that Casey should not be treated any differently than anyone else under this law is completely disingenuous and intellectually vacant.

The raging truth is Casey is different because the grand bonanza voyeuristic orgy of her jailhouse videos are like nothing we’ve ever seen before. These videos have become a voyeur’s smorgasbord. Every Tom, Dick and Harry under the sun have seen these videos and have come up with and listened to all sorts of interpretations of everything from a sigh to a cry to even a laugh. Never before have we ever seen a defendant so absolutely dissected that every motion she makes is followed by some public conspiracy theory.

The viewings of these jailhouse tapes and the bizarre interpretations that are being espoused through the media and the public are disgusting and have no legitimacy of reality. How anyone could say what she is thinking when she has a facial expression or some reaction to something is utterly insane.

The court on one hand wants to say Casey can’t be treated any differently than any other defendant and on the other hand turn a blind eye to the most anomalistic defendant and public treatment ever seen in a court of law. The judge does have the power to acknowledge the abuses and misdirection of the Sunshine Law and do something about it. It’s too convenient to say, “If you don’t like the law, go to the legislators and have it changed.” A judge is there to interpret the law. When a law is so clearly bastardized that the initial intent of a law metamorphoses into something that is a very violation of the initial intent of the law then society itself and the right to a fair trial is turned completely upside down.

The judge left for the future his ruling on the rest of the tapes involving her parents and the release of said tapes. This time the judge doesn’t have to blaze a new trail of righteousness, but follow precedence and acknowledge that a similar case has already ruled that tapes like these are inadmissible.

People, what I am saying to you is this voyeuristic appetite that you’re witnessing and participating in during the Casey Anthony case is so far off the chain of what is right and what is wrong that I must say all of you have lost your compass. It is off the tracks when you consider what is fair and what is unfair.

There is a mountain of examples as high as the empire state building to prove that Orlando, Florida has forfeited any right to try this case. There is no case in history ever before that deserves a change in venue more than the Casey Anthony case.

Voyeurs beware. One day the system might shine the light on you and crush the very idea you once held that you were innocent until proven guilty. Who will be there to fight for your right for a fair trial? I know who will be there watching you on YouTube.
