Casey Anthony - Grand Jury Indictment

Today Casey Anthony was again arrested. This time on the charge of
premeditated capital murder. The indictment comes as no surprise
to many of the true crime armchair pundits following events in the case.
To others it comes as a shock because they cannot fathom why a mother
would kill her own child. To her supporters it's a conspiracy by authorities
to make Anthony the scapegoat for their failures, or to further their careers.

As history has shown, there have been countless murders of children by
their parents, usually for gain or some professed reason. However, many
of the murders were done for no reason discernable by society.

If convicted, and if the State's Attorney is to be believed, there exists
enough viable evidence to show that Casey Anthony is only the latest in
a long line of infamous parental killers.

Her refusal to speak and her various theories for the disappearance of
Caylee doesn't make Casey unique, or clever. It makes her despicable.

Casey Anthony was indicted on the 7 charges listed below. There is NO
BAIL on capital murder charges and Anthony will sit in the Orange
County jail until her trial(s).
