Caseys Jury

beautiful beautiful princess
at the end of her trial
all the world was shown
her deceptions and denignals

mother queen mother
one who suffers strife
if given one more chance
could she change her wicked life

brother oh brother
how you did her wrong
turn against her mother 
while the trial was going on

father our father 
the one she tried to blame
she ruined your reputation
and trampled on your name

beautiful beautiful princess
did'nt you see the wrong
to miss your little baby
but party all night long

beautiful beautiful princess
only time will tell
will the jury find you not guilty
or sentence you to hell

It is a trial I did not watch. I cannot believe that if you have a child you want to party and not look after your baby. I guess some people are not meant to have children and the ones who want children can't have any. Poor, poor baby child. love phyl

Well, the verdict is in and I was not surprised by the outcome. That is not to say justice was served, but the evidence presented by the prosecution wasn't convincing for the jurors. You wrote a lovely poem, John, and you have Soup Mail. Love, Carolyn

Not sure that I know the one of whom you are speaking..I think it is the trial of the young woman that was accused of murdering her 3 year old child..I have not really watched it..Sad though that a beautiful young child died from whatever means that she died..I am glad that you chose this one on which to write..I hope that this happening is a valuable lesson to someone out there..Sara
