Mother daughter bond

It is completely insane that Casey Anthony was not convicted in some degree of her daughter's death. Whether it was a murder or an accident, Casey was her mother, therefore should be held accountable for her two year old's death. I am appalled that she is not being held responsible. The judge should have made her testify. Someone should have asked her why there was duck-tape on her daughters mouth. Someone should have asked her why she placed/or let someone place her own daughters body in the woods and not demand a proper burial. Someone should have asked why she didn't miss her daughter for an entire month to not look for her. I am speculating. I don't have all of the facts. The one thing I do know for sure (because I am a mother to a small child) is that (like her defense claimed) if she was a good mother and loved her daughter, none of the things that I mentioned above, should have happened. Period. A mother to a child is like a lion to her cub. You don't ever let your child become prey. You defend your child. You protect your child. And you sure as hell fight for them - fight for the justice of your child.

This story breaks my heart. My opinion doesn't matter, but a part of me has lost faith in our judicial system. I am forever scarred by this trial.
