Casey Anthony's Blood Money
From Jen Lancaster's blog:
I know very little about the law/proof beyond a reasonable doubt, so I won't speculate on whether justice was served.
So let me say this - if you hate this verdict (and I know you do) don't allow the defense to profit from it. Don't buy their books, don't see their movies, don't watch them on interview shows.
Capitalism isn't the last line of defense, but in this instance it might be the only one.
According what I just read in the UK Daily Mail:
"There is already speculation the compelling case could be turned into a movie, and she is likely to be inundated with lucrative television and book deals worth millions of dollars." (Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011620/Casey-Anthony-verdict-Not-guilty-mother-make-fortune-media-interviews.html#ixzz1RKsA2vWJ)
Millions of dollars.
But if there's no audience, there's no money.
Think about it, won't you?
Re: Casey Anthony's Blood Money
I just don't see how they could make a movie when no one knows what really happened! I mean, the whole draw is there's a giant mystery here and only CA knows, but won't spill it.
I'm sure morbid curiosity will get the best of people though, and they'll end up watching interviews and such.
Unfortunately, I think you're right. As much as it sickens me to think that anyone can make money off of this, curiosity will get the best of most people. There is always someone who will buy the book and watch the movie.
Movies are made based on speculation all the time.
I agree.
Well said. I can't put my finger on every detail of what happened/might have happened...but the sight of her face makes me sick.
