Not Guilty

So....a big verdict was read today. My boss actually pulled me aside to sit and watch it. Lately anymore I really don't watch the television because I really don't have time for it nor do I care to see how many shootings or robberies or just all around dumb stuff going on. Give me a weather report and traffic and I'm good to go. If I need info then I have twitter or I can google or catch something interesting on CNN. So I have heard of the case in question...heard the gruesome story how a little girl lost her life.....now I get to hear and see how much people are mortified that a verdict of not guilty was read.
Me personally, I don't know if this woman did it. I didn't spend my free time following around CSI detectives or have weekly phone chats with the family. A little girl died and someone did it.
Everyday there is a court session or trial that gets thrown out because of the laws we have in place to protect us. We are sitting at a view point that really nobody for sure knows what happened exactly or it would have been presented in this trial. So sorry to say it but shut up already.
Pray for this little girl, pray that the killer will be brought to justice....but quit bitching about the laws we instilled to keep bad people in jail and good ones out. Did the system fail? Maybe...but that court case couldn't prove that this mother for sure beyond unreasonable doubt killed her. Case closed.
I'm a mother. I can't imagine anything happening to my children and the thought of knowing that parents kill their kids is just disgusting. I still remember one night I was watching the news and a story was being a released that a mother drowned her kids in a bath tub because Satan or God told her to. I got up and ran to the bathroom and puked. It's horrible. It breaks my heart. Children are the most precious gifts in life and A LOT of people take advantage of it.
We can't do anything about this verdict. Complaining about it or our judicial system isn't going to get you anywhere either. Trust me. I've been fighting with Senators and Governors for years now advocating for my child and other kids and just can't win.

So if you know something the judge and these jury members and of course the media doesn't know? ......then spill it. Otherwise mourn that little girl. Hold your kids close. Look out for other kids so they have extra eyes to keep them safe. That's what you can do.
