Girl, we're gonna get paid!
Sometimes it is not always best to be the first to break or land a
story. One has to use proper judgment in determining whether an
exclusive is really worth that which is attached to it. This is the case
regarding, Casey Anthony, who was put on trial for murdering her
beautiful 4-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
ABC News desperately wanted the exclusive sit down with Casey Anthony
and paid her $200,000 for the dishonor, along with a set of photographs
of herself with little Caylee. ABC News in return received higher
viewing numbers and internet page views. Regrettably, paying an accused
killer $200,000 as she lies in court to free herself, was not a good
idea.

Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez revealed this week, the money from ABC
News was used to mount a strong defense in court, which essentially
bought Casey her freedom and angered the nation. Baez stated, "She had
photographs of her and her child, and a network paid us $200,000 so we
could mount a proper defense."
As a result, the true victim in the case, Caylee Anthony, was denied
justice and that is tragic and heartbreaking. May God's justice prevail
in the case, as all else has failed.
