If Casey Anthony Writes a Book

There's been a lot of speculation that Casey Anthony will get rich writing a book about her daughter's death, the trial, and her family. I won't buy the book. I accept the verdict that set her free. No, I don't think she is innocent. I agree with the jury; the prosecution didn't prove what they said they were going to prove. They overcharged the case. If they had charged a lesser degree based on what they could prove, I'm convinced the verdict would have been guilty.

Still, you may wonder - why not buy the book? She hid Caylee's death from authorities. She let her daughter's body remain out in the elements rather than lay the child to rest with a proper burial. She may walk away from that legally, but I have no intention of putting money in her pocket, any more than I would have put money in OJ Simpson's pocket by purchasing his book.

If she does write a book, I'm sure the contents will be all over the Internet soon after it's released. Her version, which I believe would be mostly fiction, would be easy to learn without putting money in her pocket. I'm not sure I care anyway.

What about you? Would you buy Anthony's book?
