Between the not guilty verdict in the Casey Anthony trial and the verdict of no justice for Jamie Leigh Jones, this is not turning out to be a good month for victims advocacy here in the states. If you don't know. Casey Anthony is the florida mother accused of murdering her two year old daughter Caylee. Jamie Leigh Jones was a KBR contractor in Iraq who was brutally gang raped and assaulted by coworkers overseas. She just recently lost her case against her attackers even though she was fully unconscious while asleep. In both of these cases there was compelling evidence for the guilt of those accused. Both did not lead to guilty verdicts. It has been my belief for years now that the American spirit of independance and freedom from oppression has all but been lost on the American people. The fact that even ONE child could be so brutally murdered in this country should be enough to call for national reform. The fact that thousands happen every year is unacceptable. I really don't know what it will take for us as a people to finally rise as one and demand that our government start protecting the victims of violent crimes. How many more Caylees or Jamies will it take?
