Spin. The word is so much a part of our daily lives that we sometimes don't even realize when it's happening. Advertisers convince us that we simply can't live without their products. Politicians convince us that things are better or worse than they really are. Spinning is relating a story in such a way as to influence public opinion in the desired way (Encarta World English Dictionary).

It is no different in a criminal justice system. The prosecution presents its version of the facts and the defense does the same -- although clearly a defendant has no burden of proof and no need to even present a case.

The latest spin of the dysfunctional Anthony family and their lawyer, is that Caylee Anthony is not really dead. She's not really dead and she'll be home any day now, if only the police would just go look for her! Yet even Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch, one the most decent men around, who spends his life trying to find missing people has said the Anthonys are not cooperating with the search.

From the start, Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, instead of looking for their precious two-year-old granddaughter, circled the wagons around their not so precious 22-year-old sociopathic daughter. Cindy Anthony, a nurse, actually had the unmitigated gall to suggest that what she initially reported as the smell of a dead body in her daughter's trunk was just rotting pizza. George Anthony, a retired cop, knows better than anyone what the smell of a dead body is, and yet the two of them continue to try to spin the public into believing that Casey is giving up her life to protect her child! Of course, Casey's take on the odor was that a squirrel crawled into the engine -- that her father hit an animal or that a dead animal was stuck in the grill. Take your pick.

All of us want to believe in the good of people. None of us wants to believe that a mother is capable of killing the very child she bore. And so all of us, as if viewers watching a play unfold, anxiously awaited Caylee's third birthday, because after all we were told she would be home. We desperately wanted to believe that the family and defense knew something that we didn't and all would be well in the end. But how can we possibly believe anything that comes out of the mouths of these psychopaths?

We've all watched the same evidence unfold and that evidence will eventually lead us all to the same conclusion. Casey Anthony was a young girl who was talked into having a child that she didn't want. She finds a new boyfriend, eliminates all of Caylee's pictures on her MySpace page, searches for chloroform on the internet, searches missing children's websites, steals her own father's gas cans, makes frantic calls in a wooded area, borrows a shovel and abandons the car with the scent of a dead body. Little Caylee's hair filled with substantial levels of chloroform and a stain from Caylee's body were in the trunk. All the while Casey parties, dances and sleeps the nights away with her new boyfriend while buying beer and lingerie with her friend's stolen checks.

Every defendant is cloaked with the presumption of innocence. Every defendant has the right to remain silent. But what you will see unfold in a court room in Orlando will be the all too sorted details of a mother who murdered her own child. That cloak of evidence will dissipate and Casey Anthony and her family will be stripped down to what they really are.

There will be no spin on that day of reckoning.
