After hearing the verdict in the Casey Anthony case this afternoon, like so many people, I realized our justice system not only failed Caylee Anthony, it failed all of us. It failed every child and every future child. We should not reward people for covering up a death and hiding evidence.
WE NEED "CAYLEE'S LAW".
As Americans, we can NOT continue to let a true tragedy like this occur again. OUR LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED. AND THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED NOW.
I posted my idea for "Caylee's Law" on my Facebook page this afternoon, shortly after the verdict. After an overwhelming response to the idea, I feel that this could be something that we, the people, could make happen.
PROPOSAL FOR "CAYLEE'S LAW": If a person is involved in the cover up of a death of any kind, accidental or otherwise, and this cover up can be proven by the state, there will be a MINIMUM automatic penalty of 25 years for the crime of covering up a death. No more light sentences for this type of behavior.
When a death, along with evidence, is hidden by an individual, and proper authorities are not notified, the assumption will be that the death was a result of a homicide if it can not be determined how the death occurred.
All deaths that are not properly reported along with an attempted cover up of said death, when proven in a court of law, will be assumed to be HOMICIDE and will be punishable by the maximum penalty for murder within that state, including death or life without the possibility of parole.
We need to not only do this for Caylee, we need this law for all children. We can not continue to reward people for covering up the death of a child...or the death of anyone for that matter. We need to make people be more responsible. A death needs to be reported within 24 hours or face a maximum penalty.
WE NEED CAYLEE'S LAW. And we need it NOW.
Please SHARE this with your friends, pass out flyers directing others to this petition, contact your local representatives, do anything you can.
LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR CAYLEE SINCE JUSTICE WAS NOT SERVED ON JULY 5, 2011. If we get enough signatures, we can make this happen. PLEASE do what you can to spread the word and to give Caylee a law in her name to honor her today and from this moment forward.
