Remember the O.J. Simpson trial and how almost every person who had anything to do with it became an overnight success? That was the beginning of a strange phenomena.
The Casey Anthony trial has done much the same thing. Her trial was the first to be carried world wide, in real time. Remember, she had her own camera trained on her at all times. The Casey Cam.
One of the stars to emerge from Casey's trial was the judge, Belvin Perry. He's been an excellent judge for a very long time but now he's a rock star. (By the way, he's going to be speaking at my church on Friday.)
On another note, a member of my church is leaving his job this week. It's Casey's fault. Lawson Lamar, the state attorney for Orange and Osceola Counties for the past 25 years, and a man who was considered to be unbeatable each and every time he ran for office, is stepping down. He leaves a brilliant career.
One of his own prosecutors, Jeff Ashton, beat him in the last election. How did this happen?
Easy. Jeff was the prosecutor in the Casey Anthony trial. He became an instant rock star.
I'm grateful that Jeff Ashton seems to be a good and competent man. I'm grateful that Casey wasn't prosecuted by somebody like Honey Boo Boo.
