Kathi was the best! She was the only reporter whose videos I actively sought out. On one of my trips to Orlando I saw a red head who looked just like her at the airport and I was star struck for a minute until I realized it wasn't KB after all.

Remember when she went to the abandoned house!!! That was amazing to me. We were all taking about here and somehow someone contacted her and the next thing I knew she was there. She is one determined and gutsy reporter. Thank you Kathi. You most definitely do ROCK! :rocker:
 
Logicalgirl -- I so very often admire your posts (well thought out and eloquently expressing my own views so often). But this has to be one of your BEST.

Thank you for starting this!!

I have to say that, in the days following the verdict, I kept going to the WFTV site looking for any sign of Kathi Belich. I truly worried about her, having come to realize how much of her career (life) had been spent on this trial, and missing her common sense observations.

I actually said to my sister (my partner in obsession on this trial, because she and I lived in Orlando longest of all my family), that I wondered how Kathi Belich was doing, because she had so much invested in this case, and had exposed so much for everyone -- not only locals -- throughout. I tried to think how I'd feel and I could only imagine not getting out of bed. Which is, of course, how I also felt when thinking about the SA and LE involved.

But it's important that all those folks know -- and here Kathi Belich specifically -- that their blood, sweat and tears for this case was certainly appreciated and noticed by so many of us.

Yes, indeed, Kathi you are one of my new heroes alongside the SA and LE on this case. Everyone of you did so much and did it RIGHT, with professionalism and grace. I'm proud of you. (And not just because I also only a few years ago moved away from L.A. where "reporters" aren't journalists any more, they're Barbie dolls dressed for the camera. So refreshing to see an actual JOURNALIST reporting on TV!! Wow!!).

:clap:
 
I join the admirers of Kathi B. We felt we would get the truth from you and Bill S. You went beyond the call of duty through your devotion to the cause. And I think brash can sometimes be a compliment.
 
Kathi, you are most admired for your journalistic talents!! It seems everytime I watch you, you ask the EXACT QUESTIONS on our collective minds. Thank you for being a top-notch reporter and for asking the tough questions!

I apologize - I didn't mean it unkindly! But that woman dares to ask the questions most reporters didn't dare to and she asked them first and with incredible determination. I used brash as a way of admiring her kamikaze style, and not as a criticism at all. Hope that helps. I chuckle to myself when I think about her going after Baez and Mason over and over again.

I know exactly what you meant and I have to agree. She's one of the few reporters (if not the only) not afraid to ask the tough questions. She never let them bully her or push her around - and God knows they tried. I wish she was the one to interview the jurors. She wouldn't let them get away with pussyfooting around the issues.

Stand proud, Kathy. You did an awesome job! Nothing but good things in your future.
 
First, thanks Logical for thinking of and starting this thread. It was much needed, I think.

This past week, my emotions swing from shock to anger, sadness back to shock. This verdict has really been tough to deal with. It's hard to stay focused, find energy and have hope in our judicial system after all this.

But, then I saw this thread and it dawned on me that oh, my gosh, Kathi must be feeling what I am feeling but tenfold. And my already broken heart, broke again, thinking of you. You invested yourself so wholeheartedly in getting to the truth for Caylee. And anything you discovered, you passed onto us, without abandon. You went up against the big (and bad) boys and made them sweat. When I saw CM showing "his finger of affection" to the media, I thought, I bet that is to Kathi. You stood up to the defense and demanded answers and if you didn't like the answers you started digging until you found a reasonable answer.

During this entire tragedy you found a balance between professionalism and heart. Your soul was invested in this story, in your life, and it showed in every story you told about Caylee. Your coverage was powerful, without being sensational.

Kathi, you are an inspiration. Please feel the hugs and thoughts coming your way. I know this is a tough time for you, but you were as essential to finding the truth as the prosecutors.

May your heart be healed and your life blessed. You have blessed me through all of this. You have an incredible amount of strength.

And if you wrote a book about this case, I would buy it. Nobody has followed it better.

Thank you so much, Kathi.

Sincerely,
BeagleMom

BeagleMom - thank you for this post - you brought tears again to my eyes with your eloquence - just Beautiful!
 
After the verdict was read, I heard a few reports by Kathi B. She was very professional as always, but I could hear the sadness & disappointment in her voice. Kathi B is my favourite journalist, and I hope she goes network, eventually. Thank you for everything, Kathi!! <3
 
Kathi - you are a hero in my eyes. Thank you for all you did for Caylee. We are all here for you!!

Kathi Belich LIVE on JVM right now! :)
 
Kathi, I'll read a book if you write one, but WFTV chasing down lookalikes...starting to look pretty dumb, IMO...
 
Kathy has done a fabulous job following Caylee's case. I hope she gets some type of reporter's award for the work she's done. She's kept it real........and has always been professional.
 
There aren't many reporters that I respect more than Kathi B. She had the strength to ask the questions that we all wanted answered. Many of her famous questions are forever burned into my memory. When I'm having a "down" day, I think back to her question to Casey, "why are you strutting like that", and I have to smile.
 
Kathi Belich LIVE on NG right now! :)
 
I really like KB, but this does not look like KC.

Even in my shock and dismay over the verdict - I took the time to read Bill Shaeffer's last video clip to hear his opinions on how and why according to the law, this jury came to this decision. I watched because I needed his calm rational to try to bring some balance to my thoughts.

And for the first time, through all the hearings, trial selection and trial daily commentaries, Kathi Belich was not at his side.

I recall thinking OMG - Kathi - this must be so painful for her! I hope she has someone close to her who can listen to her sorrow and comfort her as she comes to terms with the verdict. And then in my own self preservation, she slipped from my mind.

Even though I again woke up dreaming about this case, this morning Kathi has been on my mind. Kathi Belich, one of Caylee's most visible champions since day one of this case. Vocal, brash and gutsy. Standing up to Mason and Baez day after day like no one else has. Sure I believe it was partly about her career, BUT and I mean this with my whole heart, I believe Kathi, like all of us fell in love with a little girl who was thrown away like a piece of trash. And her tireless effort was what catapulted her career - and not selfish motivation.

So I'd like us all to take a moment to post our admiration for her three years of dogged determination, and to say thank you for her superlative effort in reporting every detail of the case. This can't have been easy...

I loved watching you Kathi and want you to know how much I admire you and I offer such deep heartfelt thanks for everything you did for Caylee.

I always knew when I caught a glimpse of the redhead on the screen that I was going to get the real story, and the reactions people wish we didn't see. I hope you are taking care of yourself right now - I worry about you. We may not like the verdict, but that will never take away the tremendous care and attention you took in your support of the story about Justice for Caylee Marie Anthony.

You go down in my memory banks as a Hero of mine. Thank you Kathi!

Wow, what an elegant and thoughtful post. ITA with every word.

Thank you Kathi! Although the jury has spoken, I hope you continue to report on this case and shine a light on all the cockroaches that are trying to make money and obtain fame from a murdered baby, including Caylee's own family.

IMO
