Why Don’t You Write About Casey Anthony?

Several readers have been asking me to review Casey Anthony. They say there is ample audio of Casey out there, so why don’t you review her?

The reason I haven’t reviewed Casey Anthony is multi-fold. First, I don’t think you need “Eyes for Lies” to see that Casey Anthony is lying. I am nearly certain that 99% people out there do not believe Casey Anthony.

Her biggest give away that she is lying? The facts that she supplies simply do not add up. It doesn’t take any special talent to see that because if she was honest, people would be standing up to vouch for her, but no one with any credible evidence has done that once.

Second, I typically choose to write about cases where public opinion is truly at odds, and where people aren’t sure of the truth. At that point, I think my opinion becomes more interesting and valuable.

For me to just restate that Casey Anthony is lying because the facts don’t add up, and to provide a handful of other clues doesn’t provide much of anything for anyone. I precisely reviewed Cindy Anthony early on because I saw people attacking her, and I felt my opinion and insight might open people to a different consideration.

Do I hear clues to Casey Anthony’s deception in the audio tapes? I do. Is it anything earth shattering? No. What I hear are tone-of-voice and inflection clues that stand out in the few samples I have listened to. When Casey Anthony, for example, was asked the last time she talked to Caylee, she answers with the word “noon”. If you listen to that word, you will her Casey Anthony say the word inflecting her voice more as a question instead of a statement. It’s little things like this that I don’t think are valuable to anyone for me to commit an hour or two of my time to write about.

So there you have why I haven’t written about Casey Anthony. If I believed it would be valuable and helpful for people, I absolutely would do so. But right now, I don’t think I would do anything for anyone by me simply restating the obvious.
