NO ONE,,and I mean NO ONE wanted to have the guilt and blood of Casey on their hands,,especially living the next 20 years or so until she got executed. Also,,many white folks saw Casey as someone they knew like a rebellious daughter, niece, cousin, cutie-pie, physco ex..party girl,,whooohoo.etc. Yes,,That's the way the media portrayed her too because it was the "sexy" sell in addition and deflection from the gruesomeness. But even with that,,they still wouldn't kill the bitch. And lastly..the Nacy Graces of the world are paid to act and say things a certain way. They play up to the overwhelming popular public opinion. That's the drama of reality TV. They seduce you into believing everything by playing on what they told you to be thinking!
