Reply #12: What I don't understand is why so much coverage for her and why are so [View All]

many on DU so willing to be told by the news media (so many claim to hate) who to be outraged against.

I'm not going to comment on Anthony's guilt or otherwise. That is for a jury to decide.

What I am commenting on is the extreme number of other cases where parents, foster, adoptive, steps, or other relatives torture the children in their care, some times for years, who get less press and less condemnation than Casey Anthony.

I don't know the situation around the death of that beautiful little girl and probably no one else, except for Anthony, does either.

I've heard no evidence of prior child abuse in this case. I have heard of cases of horrendous child abuse that resulted in the death of the child that barely made the media blink. And those cases were ones in which Child Protective Services knew there was abuse and did nothing to stop it.
