There's no need to be hostile, I was truly looking to clarify what your aims are because it wasn't clear to me. The approach you are taking is unlikely to have much effect, but if it makes you feel as though you have taken action to show your upset, then that is a goal in itself.
I'm not saying Casey is a 'good' person, but I don't think she has had or will have an easy life. The media in the US have incredible power to sway public opinion and before the trial had even begun Casey had been convicted in the court of public opinion, much of it based on 'facts' or 'evidence' that simply didn't stand up in court. This is why we have due process, rather than lynch mobs. My husband saw a woman accused of stealing a baby for witchcraft, ripped from her home and stoned to death by a crowd when he lived un Uganda about 10 years ago. I wouldn't trade our system of justice for any other in the world (though I would get rid of judicial and DA elections in the US, we don't have that here in Canada where I work as a Prosecutor).

 I'm sorry if I came across as hostile.  I have been drawn to this story since the first week when her grandmother went on every show she could begging for help in finding her grandchild.  I have grandchildren, too.  At that time I had 2 girls, both close in age to little Caylee so it became personal to me.  I knew as soon as I heard about the odor in the car that the child was dead.  For a long time I wanted so much to believe that she died in an accident and that her mother became scared and tried to hide it because she was afraid of her mother's reaction.  That became harder to swallow when I heard about her behavior during the time she didn't report her child missing.  It also didn't make sense why she would allow her parents to suffer so much without knowing what happened to the child.  It seemed like she was torturing them by allowing them to think that she would be home one day while she knew that was impossible.  These people were so desperate that they wouldn't even accept her death with DNA proof.  That is cruelty beyond words.
When I read her "Diary of Days" that she put on her My Space page I knew that she had killed her child.  I didn't need evidence or forensics.  I just needed common sense.  While I agree that no one should be judged guilty of any crime without the evidence, I also think that people should be allowed to use their common sense when deciding whether or not a crime as been committed.
I don't wish Casey or her family any ill will.  I just don't want them shoved down my throat any more.  I don't want the memory of that sweet little girl tarnished in the pursuit of money.  I don't think anyone should profit off of the death of a child, no matter how they died.  It just seems wrong to me and many others.  I just want a voice to let the people that would pay her to tell her story to know that it wouldn't reflect well on them and they may lose revenue should they decide to do that.  Apparently it has had some effect since I heard that an adult entertainment company had offered her money to appear in a ***** and then rescinded the offer when they got a backlash.  That may well have been for publicity but I hope it sends a message to all outlets that think they can capitalize on this tragic situation.  People should not be rewarded for bad behavior, whether it was murder or just not reporting an accident that leads to massive searches for a child that they know is dead.  A great deal of money was spent on searches, not to mention the legal fees involved, because a person didn't tell the truth.  That should not be rewarded.  Whatever excuse she has for her behavior is of no interest to me.  A lot of people became emotionally invested in this child and finding her and once she was found in discovering the truth of what happened to her and seeing the person that was responsible for her death and disposal face the consequences of their actions.  A child was thrown away like trash.  No excuses of family dysfunction can justify that.
I am glad we have the legal system we do in this country and I respect the verdict even though I don't agree with it.  I don't agree with the threats that have been made.  That is just wrong.  I just don't personally don't want any part of seeing people become rich off of the back of a dead child and I want my voice heard and so do others.  I am just giving an outlet for those voices to be heard if they wish.  My voice isn't very loud but along with others it may be heard.
