Much of the United States erupted in outrage at the news that Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder. Bloggers and citizens asked: What was wrong with the jury? Couldn’t these 12 people see through her lies? Even if they had been sequestered for the trial, the media had been reporting her loose relationship with truth for years.
Read Casey Anthony’s top 10 alleged lies on Investigation Discovery.
Lies, however, do not prove that Anthony committed murder. Even Wendy Murphy, the feminist lawyer who vociferously supports battered mothers and abused children, predicted that Casey Anthony would walk. Why? The prosecution did not have proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, that she committed the crime.

Psychologists have had a field day with the case. The Psychology Today website has 17 posts, by various experts, on the topic. They’ve covered many aspects of the case, including Why do moms kill? and The science of jury selection.

Lovefraud readers are probably in agreement that Casey Anthony is somewhere on the narcissist-sociopath-psychopath scale. How did she get that way? She had to inherit the genetics from somewhere in her family tree. Then, since the origin of sociopathy is a mixture of genetic and environmental factors, her dysfunctional family probably played a role in the development of the disorder. Maybe she was, as the defense claimed, abused by her father.
In the end, we don’t know how Casey Anthony acquired her sociopathic traits. But I am fairly confident in predicting that at some point, because of her sociopathy, Casey Anthony will crash and burn.
Sociopaths as failures
As a group, sociopaths tend to be failures. They end up with health issues, financial problems and legal problems. They usually die sooner than people who are not personality disordered.
Just this week, I’ve received news about three of our True Lovefraud Stories:
James Montgomery: My ex-husband, who now lives in Australia, tried to hook up with a woman a few years ago and invited her to visit him. She did, and was not impressed. When he fell asleep on the couch, she snuck away and never talked to him again. The woman just saw Montgomery at a train station and reports, “He’s the size of an elephant, has a long white beard and dresses like a hippie.” So much for the guy who promised me that we’d be living “in the lap of luxury.”
Brian Ellington: I hear about this guy more than anyone else profiled on Lovefraud. The most recent news is that he was arrested again in New York City on June 11, 2011. The charges: drug possession with intent to distribute.
Anthony Owens: A commenter submitted this to the “Fight Bigamy” blog: “Bishop Anthony Owens passed away in a hospital on Tuesday, July 05, 2011 in a hospital in Memphis, TN. Funeral services is incomplete at this time.” Anthony Owens was not yet 40 years old.
So although sociopaths have highly inflated opinions of themselves, usually the charade falls apart. I’m sure that sooner or later, Casey Anthony will screw up on a large enough scale to put her out of circulation. Even sociopaths who skated for a long time eventually failed. Look at O.J. Simpson. Look at Bernie Madoff.
I would just like to seem them fail sooner, and with less collateral damage to the rest of us.
UPDATE 7/15/11:
Just got more information on exactly how James Montgomery was “dressed as a hippie.” Apparently there are hippie communes where Montgomery now lives in Australia, and my source speculates that he has joined one because that’s the only way he can afford to live. Here’s what she said:
He was wearing: red/orange pants, hippie sandles, caftan like long top to ankles in multiple colours, big round glasses with pink lenses, long scarf draped around his neck and over his shoulder nearly touching the ground and a hat which looked like a beanie. A long white beard probably about 12/15inches long and I would say weighing about 150 to 175 kilos or more (330 to 385 pounds). Imagine a man 6ft 2ins tall 175 kgs and wearing that get up!!!

You know, TB, even if she gets a ZILLION $$$$$ it will not make her any more acceptable to the public than OJ Simpson was/is.
EB, I’m sorry the bus. spath got off, but if she is deported that at least is still a win…
It amazes me how many charges are “dropped” by the DAs, just like in the case of my Trojan Horse P and the P-DIL, the identity theft charges (cell phone and credit card abuse/fraud against me) dropped, the breaking and entering with a deadly weapon, etc. all dropped, and he plead guilty to a convict having a gun, and she plead guilty to buying a weapon for a known convict….she got probation except for the 7-8 months she spent in jail, and he got 5 years, TWO suspended, and only did actually about a year and a half…he is OFF PAROLE now, and she is still on probation.
Yea, CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM is an OXYMORON!

Ox; true, but it just sends chills thru my whole being how greedy and immoral these people are! That baby’s blood money! That makes me shudder!

TB,
Yea, but you know, Casey is not going to have a “lived happily ever after” life. She will be like that woman who shot MaryJo in the face, she will SELF DESTRUCT and end up doing porno flicks for drug money….even if she gets 100 million dollars she will BLOW it and end up “broke’r’n broke” and spiral down into the sewer of life at the very least.
Hopefully there will be some laws passed, and I heard there is one being proposed that makes it a FELONY to NOT report a missing child, and that sounds like a good law. If it had been on the books she could have gotten nabbed for that, so the NEXT CASEY will be nabbed for that if nothing else. I’ve read several stories lately about people who did not report “missing” children for months or years. Like that little girl in Georgia or the Carolinas (the one with only one leg that they found parts of her body) Her step-mother and/or her father killed her then waited nearly a month to report her “kidnapped.”
Laws do NOT stop people from doing things. Like there are laws against robbing banks yet people still do it….it just gives legitimacy to arresting the people who do those things.
If we could get the laws we already have ENFORCED BETTER it would help. If we could get the psychopaths KEPT OFF THE STREET FOREVER….it would help.

Ox: yes, I agree with you!
I do know that God will not allow this to go unpunished. His law of sowing/reaping will reign. I also know that God has the little girl, bless her little soul. â¤
Hugs to you, Ox!

TB,
AMEN! She is with God now.
Are you as sick of looking at that girls face (casey)on People Magazine? I don’t buy the magazine, but I see it at work.
I find it repulsive!

Ana:
That look on Casey’s face the morning of her sentencing is maniacal. There is no doubt that woman is deranged.
Ana
Louise,
To say the least! I wonder where she will emerge from? Californication prolly…lol
Louise
Ana:
Who knows! I do know that we have NOT heard the last of Casey Marie Anthony.

Ana: Yes, I am sick of seeing her. You know those P’s don’t care if everyone hates them. They just love to be infamous! As my PX said one time when his work freaked over one of his outbursts and were scared of him when he picked up his last check…He laughingly said: “They were shaking like leaves and asked me if I had a gun. It was sooooo funny!” I looked at him and said: “Did it ever occur to you they just thought you were nuts?” He got this quizzical horrified look on his face, as if it HAD NOT occurred to him! They just do not think like normal people at all.

Ana: I replied to your post last night…don’t know what happened to my comment, oh well.
Yes, I am sick of seeing her…it’s a trigger for how cruel and evil she is and makes me think of Caylee’s cute little face in her hands. My heart goes out to children and animals. They don’t have a choice on what happens to them!
