After being silent so long, Casey steps forward to offer her version of events. The entire world, myself included, had decided she was guilty before she ever went to trial. She ended up being acquitted because the prosecution could not prove Casey was responsible beyond all reasonable doubt.
As I sat through this, I did hear a lot of self-pity, but what would you expect from a woman that lost her child and the life that she had envisioned, most likely at the hands of her father? I felt that her tears were believable and her sadness palpable.
As someone that has survived the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, I can see a lot of similarities behind how I used to act and how Casey acted. As the cop that was interviewed said about George, being a liar does not make you a murderer, yet so much of the world is ready to say that about Casey. No one has looked twice at all of the different versions of events as told by George. I can for sure say that no one that is not abusing little kids does not say the kinds of things George said.
Go into this with an open mind and you may just find yourself changing how you think everything happened.
