Some thoughts on Casey Anthony and other famous court cases.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty and is now free from probation and one can hope not subject to some sort of civil wrongful death suit ala O.J. now.

Honestly I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt here court said not guilty ,story over in my opinion. Now because she wasn’t famous before this there are other questions raised such as when will she have her book deal? When will the movie be made? Will she do porn? Oops sorry, I meant when will she do porn? Does she have an agent yet? Can she get a sit com with O.J.? (I can see it now…*peppy odd couplesque sit com music*”it’s muurrrder living in the big city, it’s muuurrrder..”, It’s Murder, Mondays at 8pm 9pm central don’t miss the action! Scene inside apartment, Casey busts thru the front door ala Seinfeld and shouts,  “hey O.J!” O.J in kitchen holding knife,” getting all this turkey sliced in time for the party is rough,” Casey responds, ”yeah it’s murder” cue canned laugh track. )

And on a totally tangential note.

If corporations are people can they commit murder? How would you put them in jail? If a corporate raider takes over a company and dismantles it is it manslaughter? Murder in the first? Desecrating a body? What constitutes proper burial for a dead company? Do investors have to pay inheritance tax if they cash in a 401K they had with a dead company? Do attack ads created by a super pac count as assault? Slander? Defamation? If someone hits you with a company car is the company culpable? If a company hides out in a foreign country can we extradite? What would that look like?
