What Would You Do?

Is there going to be justice
for the murder of this precious child, Caylee Anthony?
If so, when?
If so, whom?

I have to admit that I have been glued to my television
for 18 days watching the Casey Anthony trial.

I don't especially want to watch it,
but I can't seem to take my eyes or ears away from it.

Unless you live in some remote part of the country
that doesn't have CNN, you probably know that
Casey Anthony is on trial for the murder
of her two year old daughter, Caylee.

As with most murder trials,
the state's case is built on circumstantial evidence...
mounds and mounds of overwhelming circumstantial evidence.

Of course, the defense is trying to provide testimony
to create doubt in the minds of the jury.
That is their job.
Obviously, it doesn't matter how that doubt is created...
honestly or dishonestly...
whatever it takes.

Have you ever sat here...
on the witness stand?

Unfortunately, I have...
several times.
That is not a comfortable chair.
Smart, well-trained professionals play trickery with words and phrasing.
Winning or losing hangs in the balance of a misspoken word.

SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU
WERE ON THAT WITNESS STAND?

What if you were in the position of Cindy Anthony?

Your only grandchild is dead.
Your only daughter has been accused of that death.

Would you seek justice for your granddaughter?

Would you lie to save your daughter?

When you step up to that witness stand
and place your hand on the Holy Bible...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I have some definite opinions
(surprise, surprise),
but I want to hear yours!
