Casey Anthony modern-day Jezebel

In the court of law with a jury of her peers, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. In the court of public opinion, Casey Anthony is a modern-day Jezebel, a spoiled brat and a fallen woman.

Now that the trial is finally over and she has been set free from jail after serving a mere 12 days for her misdemeanor convictions of lying to police, there are a few things the public can reflect on.

The most important and best thing to come out of the trial is the demonstration that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

DELTONA -- A 21-month-old toddler drowned in a small backyard swimming pool early Monday evening in Deltona, a Volusia County spokesman said. The little girl became the eighth child under 4 to die so far this year in Volusia County as a result of a pool drowning.

Sheriff’s deputies and rescue crews with the Deltona Fire Department and EVAC ambulance were dispatched to a residence on Apricot Drive at 7:39 p.m. That’s where a family member brought the unresponsive child -- Rocio Vazquez Naranjo -- seeking help.

"The child’s mother, father and an older sibling were home at the time and didn’t realize that the little girl had wandered off," Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. "The family searched their home and found Rocio in the pool. They pulled the girl out of the water and brought her down the street to a house where the resident knew CPR."

That resident tried to revive the child until paramedics arrived a few minutes later to take over, Davidson said, but they were unable to revive her en route to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City.

"Medical personnel were unable to resuscitate her," the Sheriff's spokesman said. "She was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. The incident is under investigation by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office."

Enough of the deficit squabbling in Washington

All the elected officials, aides, politicians, czars, lobbyists, and janitors in Washington can’t seem to come up with a solution to our so-called “debt crisis.” It isn’t that I don’t believe there "is" a debt crisis; it’s that it could be solved so easily if the above-named dolts would set aside their egos and do the right thing.
