Casey Anthony – Jail Sentence Shocker

By Geno McGahee

Today, Mark Schmidter, a 64 year old man, was found guilty of 2 counts of indirect criminal contempt, after handing out leaflets hoping to sway juries, outside of the “free speech zones” that was created for the Anthony protesters and supporters. He was arrested on June 29th.

Schmidter was sentenced to 151 days in jail for his actions.

The Casey Anthony trial was media frenzy. It brought out the emotions in people, especially those with children. A young life was gone. Caylee Anthony, a 2 year old child that never had the opportunity to really live had died. There is still a large group that insists that a murderer has gone free. Others aren’t so sure.

The Anthony defense did a great job, shifting the focus to George Anthony, Casey’s father, and there were many people out there that watched the case from beginning to end that just didn’t have a good feeling about him. It may have been easy for some to see Casey as the victim of incest and abuse, and equally easy to find her not guilty.

Casey Anthony is still big news and will be for some time…
