Casey Anthony was acquitted Tuesday on all counts of killing her toddler daughter, Caylee — a verdict that stunned many, with most thinking that she would at least get some sort of lesser murder charge if not 1st degree. Theories are already running rampant as to why the jury found the defense team’s argument that [...]

Last weekend, I attended a friend’s son’s travel team baseball game of which parents are highly involved based on the investment they make to join such leagues — it’s not cheap being a part of a travel team.
