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!!!
Sorry, bubblewrap, but you’re wrong on a lot of things, especially that this man would murder his grandchild or even cover it up or even rape his daughter.
If you only saw the closing arguments, & didn’t watch the WHOLE trial, & didn’t follow the case from 2008 til now, you don’t know what a lot of people know.
For one thing, the chloroform searches weren’t made by “the family”. NO ONE was at home when the searches were made. Cindy & George both at work. Cindy lied on the stand & it was proven that she was at work.
There was NO evidence of his being a child molester…..that was only stated by Baez in his far-fetched opening remarks (that are Legally sposed to be DISregarded by the jury)…..only brot up 6wks before the trial began. Like you, the jury only regarded Baez’s opening, & failed to regard the Evidence.
If George was going to kill someone, why the hell wouldn’t he have killed his hideous daughter, instead of his beloved grandchild?
You want to say that he attempted suicide “for no reason”?? His precious grandchild’s bones had been found, he’d smelled the decomp in the car, he knew of his daughter’s actions for 31 days (& prior), & he had to come to terms with his daughter’s having killed the baby. You don’t think those are reasons for wanting to just QUIT??
Did you read his suicide letter? Did you see him break down in grief on the stand? (The one thing in the entire trial that brot me to tears! Even heartbreaking than Cindy’s grief-wracked sobs.)
He spent months searching for Caylee, begging Casey to please tell them where she was, to talk to the cops, to tell the truth, to talk to the FBI. Why would he have done that if he had been part of her death or dumping? Why in the Hell would Casey have sat in jail for 3 yrs, facing Murder1, if her father (the evil, murderous, child molester) had had ANY part in it?
Think, bubblewrap!!! THINK.
And one more thing I heard someone mention today—wondering why no one ever thot of this before!!! The Baby Doll. Caylee’s precious “Dolly” that Cindy testified she took EveryWhere: it was in the car seat in Casey’s car. Only Casey had had the car for those 31 days & her parents didn’t even know where she was. If Caylee had died at home, why wasn’t Dolly at home???? hmmmm
One SP in a family can cause everyone else to go bonky, there reaction was most likely to her actions. you know the one they call the “black sheep” or ” free or wandering spirit” every family has one. Cindy said on the stand “we never had control of that girl” If he had anything to do with it, someone somewhere would have seen or said something and there would have been a lot more mud slinging in his direction…. one of the body guards when she was out on bail had a good interview with Dr.Drew the other day, it was an eye opener …..
bobert,
that’s true, sometimes it is just one black sheep. Othertimes, it’s more like living with the Munsters and being cousin Marilyn. 🙁
Hi all,
Reading through your blogs today makes me think about why we waste sooo much energy thinking about our ex-spaths when we know its all negative energy affecting our own energy. When we focus on the Casey Anthony case we are in a sense giving her in my opinion our energy and focus which is just what a spath craves even if it is negative energy. Because remember ,they have no conscience, no heart, no empathy, NO REALITY, so they don’t see it as negative energy ONLY MORE ATTENTION to feed their sick flesh.
What we should be focusing our energy on in our discussions is Caylee and sending her love and light. The poor baby never got a chance to know what love feels like, just like we had to endure with our ex-spaths. She (we) only got to feel the darkness of evil souls that walk this earth. Caylee deserves the attention NOT CASEY!
I am a big fan of Mother Theresa and one of her many quotes I hold dear to my heart is:
I will never attend an anti-war rally; if you have a peace rally, invite me.
I understand now what Mother Theresa was stating when she made this statement. She knew that focusing our attention and energy on evil ways will only create and empower more evil. BUT, if we focus our attention on peace we are creating love and light in the world. Isn’t that what Caylee deserves love and light even if its in the afterlight?
There is alot of power in Mother Theresa’s statement. I for one know because my ex-spath is darkness and evil and we waste way to much of our own time and energy engaging on thoughts of those predators who soul rape innocent loving human beings. We should be focusing on relighting and regaining our lifes back, something Caylee will never get to do.
I am only in my 7 month spath free, and slowly starting to wake up and realize with the help of LF friends and the tools provided by this site that the yellow brick road I was walking down with my ex-spath, with the lion (no courage), the tinman (no heart), the scarecrow (no brain, no conscience), and of course the Wizard (a little man behind a curtain, Fraud), was NOT REAL! It was only a dream….a nightmare dream and I finally woke up!
Its not fair that we continue to waste anymore of our energy to these earth demons. Believe me I DO struggle everyday trying understand it and why I had to be soul raped by my ex-spath, and the fact that he justs moves on with no remorse or empathy, and he still seems to prosper and enjoy life, which sends salt to my already wounded soul. But, by me focusing on the darkness (my ex-spath) he continues to REAP my soul energy which in a sense feeds his darkness.
So when it comes to Casey Ant….I don’t even want to finish spelling her name she does not deserve it. In fact, the short form of her last name describes her best…an ANT, an insect!
To sweet little CAYLEE, the world sends you LOVE and LIGHT Sweet Angel!
Many huggs to all of my LF friends!!
Chelsea: Thank you. You certainly have put perspective on things. Everything you said NEEDED to be said and NEEDED to be heard. Emotional Vampires feed upon our very souls even though they are far away from us. But they only do so when we allow them to. If we simply refuse to participate in their ‘roadshow’, there is no further problem. (Hopefully).
I am in complete agreement with you: taking the ugly and making it ‘light’ and sending good back out into the world. I am in COMPLETE agreement with you and I think from all I have read here, I think the majority of the people here, do indeed subscribe to such a philosophy as well. It is, however, so very difficult to see the light when one is stumbling in darkness. That is why I am so grateful for LF and for genuine, caring people, who aren’t afraid to step up and step forward to help their fellow human beings.
Yes, too much time on demons and not enough on the Angels. 🙂
Mother Theresa was a woman of peace who I shall always hold dear in my heart. She was an Angel on earth.
Congrats on 7 months free! I am at 2-1/2 months for the FIFTH TIME…shame on me, believing those whines and those lies…almost at the cost of my life. Never again.
Let’s plant some flowers where the demons were buried! 😉

@duped,
Your statement: Let’s plant some flowers where the demons were buried! LOL….
Congrats on your 2 1/2 months spath free! I was with my ex-spath for 4 years, then 5 months spath free, then took him back for another 1 1/2 years, and now its been 7 months spath free. Truthfully, I don’t think I regret taking him back the second time, because I have learned WAY more the second time around. The knowledge I have now (LF site) has really helped me with my healing. I don’t know how I would of managed without the support of this site, and all the LF members.
I guess you can say: The truth has set me free!
Many huggs your way Duped!
Hey Chelsea: Thanks for the response. xxoo
Yah, 9 years all total for me but most of it was mind control and congnitive dissociation on my behalf. Somehow it makes it all so much easier when you actually have explanations for all this evilness. Doesn’t it?
THIS NC bout is the fifth since November and hopefully the final. I certainly HOPE I have gotten my point across this time. If not, I am not real sure what legalities may befall it.
I MADE the ‘last reunion’ happen, actually. JUST so I could have a closure and resolution by giving “IT” the dump. After everything I have been through with “IT” over the time I have known “IT”, I at least deserved the closure I MADE happen.
I don’t regret that ‘last reunion’ not one bit but I sure bet “IT” does. Oh definitely: YES! LF has tremendously helped me as well. I was completely lost without explanation for everything that has happened to me. Nobody could seem to ever give me a ‘clear definition’ of the true core of the situation.
Yes, Chelsea: the TRUTH “IS” setting US free; unfortunately, they are lost in their lies and deceit. Nobody can help them but themselves. It’s all about choices. We must live with the choices we make.
HUGS BACK AT YA CHELSEA!
BE HAPPY; LIVE WELL AND THRIVE!
DUPED
@duped,
Your statement:
Somehow it makes it all so much easier when you actually have explanations for all this evilness. Doesn’t it?
OMG it so helps me make sense of it. The way I found the LF site was, I googled all the traits my ex-spath has such as,
No empathy
No remorse
Controlling
Lyer……. and the lists goes on, and bingo the LF site popped up. I began reading it and I swear I thought everyone must of dated my ex-spath. It was spooky to even read at first because he is everything on the list of signs of a spath. But it felt like someone finally understands what I have been through. I am soooo grateful for this site, and all of the survivors who help each other out through this site. I just wish we have local meetings that we could attend. Yes, its great we have communication with one another through stories and blogs on LF, but it sure would be nice to have a local meeting where people who have been with a spath can share their recovery and hope in person. I guess kinda like a battered woman/mens group. But a group for Survivors of Spaths! Who knows, some of us may live in the same city and could create a meeting.
Thanks for your support!
Huggs and smiles!
Chelsea
Ha: you googled it up. 🙂 Whatever works, Chelsea!
So happy you found your way here. 🙂
hahaha: yah, wouldn’t it be strange if we found out that we were all talking about the same person? 🙂 They are all so similar in traits. Yes, FINALLY someone understands. I know what you mean about ‘support groups’; that would be wonderful. At least we have each other, here, at LF. Thanks for YOUR support and input as well. I wish you love, light and happiness in your life.

@....... Skylar yes yes the Adams family and everyones issues all blend together around the SP. Since we have to deal with it in different ways it slowly changes the structure of our family and thinking. That was one of my issues, my personality changed in order to deal with it and I slowly became someone I didnt even like and its been a long road back to having some joy restored …. I would come here and read the articles and posts for 2-1/2 years before I signed in here last week.
I read every book I could get my hands on and every site I could google in hope that the more I knew about my exSP the better I would feel about life or at very least “misery loves company”<—-and believe it or not, when you feel your not alone that in itself has a healing quality!
6 long years with the SP 2-1/2 years free but I am still having a hard time wraping my head around the whole thing, what happened, why it happened, what can I do about it now but I am starting to be able to joke about it now and sooner or later maybe help someone else….
