How do you deal with not knowing?

[sweetmop]

This case has haunted me. And i think if we knew all of the horrid details it may be more than we can take. The thoughts of someone killing another human being is beyond the realms that my mind will go. I am a nurse and I take care of sick babies and children. I really couldn't stomach the gory details of this case, I don't think. because I fear that the details are just that... gory! I truely believe this was no accident. It was planned. why would you need duct tape if it were indeed an accident. If it were an accident, why didn't the 'loving mother of the year' call 911?
The Jessica Lunsford case was another case that haunted me, and it haunts me still. That beautiful little girl taken from her bedroom, raped and tortured by that disgusting pos, then buried alive in his yard! These details sicken me, and I don't know how Marc Lunsford has carried on his life with sanity!
I believe that Casey Anthony is evil, and she killed her daughter in a fit of rage, compounded with jealousy and revenge toward her mother. I really wish she would fry, but I hope her mind tortures her of her sickening act all the rest of her miserable life each time she closes her eyes to sleep!

The part that is core to this is that the person seeking the truth must understand that we are human and this is the best institution our society has developed for seeking truth, justice and conclusion or resolution. We cannot know the perfect truth. Only God is all knowing. We remain human. Society and individuals must move on.

Couldn't have said it any better, Themis. At the end of the day, we have to deal with the fact that there are other human beings on this planet that are incapable of acting as such. It's horrible, but true, and the sooner one accepts that fact and, after justice is served, move on, the better.

I have done a good bit of this throughout this case. It has hurt to the core of my very soul. I try not to think too, too much about Caylee's final moments - the tears well up every time. I shut them out, so I can focus on seeing justice served (much like criminal attorneys sometimes, more often than not, represent defendants they know are guilty.)

I do want to see justice for Caylee though, she deserves it.

We can try and read into the mind of the killer, but somehow we never get all the answers. I feel confident that the State has done a thorough and exhaustive case for Caylee. The dream team the defense has worries me a bit, but I really think we are going to get a conviction.

Details of ones death doesn't put your mind at rest. It would be better not to know ALL of it.

That is why we will not see the skull, etc. Enough of us are haunted as it is.

This case has so many fascinating and different unknowns, variables, tangents and key players that it is hard not be very frushstrated.

I am therefore developing an unhealthy relationship with rum raisin ice cream...
