It seemed like she intentionally tried to slip in Tot mom where someone would refer to Casey Anthony by name. However Nancy Grace was her own worse enemy. As noted by Brian Dickerson over at the Detroit Free Press. The publicity Nancy Grace gave to the trial allowed Casey Anthony to have a decent attorney rather than the court appointed one she would have received had this been any other case with less media.
The response to the verdict from Nancy Grace was overwhelming but then so too was the response from the Christian community. Around the country devoted followers of Christ cried foul and demanded "justice". It's funny how when we as Christians are wronged we demand justice from God on our behalf, but when we find ourselves in the position of the one hurting another we cry out to God for mercy. Mercy and Grace are what we all need. I don't mean Nancy Grace. Truth be told modern tv could do a lot better without her on tv every night. This trial also reminded me of some very happy positive things. First and foremost I'm no better than a murderer and need God's mercy and grace just as much. Also it reminded me to be thankful that I live in a country that regardless of how I feel about the verdict I'm free to be judged by a jury of my peers. May God hold close his children who are hurting on either side of this tragedy. Amen
