Larry Flynt

Larry Flynt

Last night when I watched the Nancy Grace Show Larry Flynt was the featured guest. Although I’m not a fan of what Mr. Flynt does for a living I do have some respect for him. Larry is very straight forward and doesn’t apologize for what he is or what he does. He made a point of telling last night’s viewers that he is first and foremost a businessman and that a business man’s job is to make money. Larry does not apologize for potentially making a lot of money from Casey Anthony. As Larry tells it this is what his fans expect him to do. Larry even stated that early on he didn’t think that there would be much of a demand for marketing Casey Anthony. He now reports that his fans have told him otherwise. Larry Flynt is much more honest about his motives than most of the media. Most of the mass media is vindicating people like Jose Baez for trying to make some money in the aftermath of the Casey Anthony Trial. What they are not telling the public is that they are covering the Casey Anthony story to get high viewer ratings. Higher viewer ratings keep their shows on the air and pay for their salaries.

I find it rather interesting that so many people are upset over the possibility of Casey Anthony making a lot of money. There are also many people and organizations who are suing Casey and want money from her. The question is, how do they expect Ms Anthony to pay them? She is presently unemployable in any traditional job. Yet people are irate that she might make enormous sums of money by either granting interviews or posing for pictures in magazines. How do they expect her to pay her debtors back and support herself in the foreseeable future?

Why Casey Anthony Got a Not Guilty Verdict

Why Casey Anthony Got a Not Guilty Verdict

1)      Jose Baez and his team had an effective strategy no matter what people thought at the time. Mr. Baez’s opening statement was considered to be a poor trial strategy. The public was wondering how Jose Baez would be able to prove his allegations against George and Lee Anthony. As it turned out Baez didn’t need to prove it. He just had to plant the idea in the jury’s heads. The job of the defense is to create reasonable doubt.

2)      George Anthony did not make a credible witness. On the witness stand George was testy and evasive. I think more people believed that he had an affair with River Cruz than didn’t.

3)      There wasn’t enough evidence that Casey Anthony was a “bad mother” before the disappearance of Caylee. There was no evidence that Casey had either inflicted physical or emotional abuse towards her daughter. On the contrary there were several witnesses who testified that Casey acted in a very loving manner towards little Caylee. It would be asking a lot of the jury to ask them to wrap their heads around the idea that a loving mother could suddenly decide that she needed to murder her little girl.
