Wow! The Anthony family now has their own posse! And who, I wonder, is paying for that? Can't wait to see these thugs surrounding the dysfunctional family when they go out in public.

I rather not. This case is way to political down here in Florida. And this (political aspect) is also a big problem in this case. ANYTIME political pressures are mixed into a criminal investigation, there will be major mistakes made, this I know.
As I told Shannon, my posts are not official. I am not connected to the investigation (thank God). I am just posting my OPINIONS on where I BELIEVE mistakes were made in conducting the investigation.
I am sure I don't have to convince you I have LEO experience with my knowledge of such things as the problems with the FDLE Orlando Lab.

My experience is that most people have never been involved in real life justice, and thank God for that. TV shows that portray cases IS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO REAL LIFE. I have never been involved in a criminal case, but I have been in a civil case. It is SO different than TV and many of us, several years out of school, forget how the "system" works. It is easy to get emotionally involved when children come into the picture as they do more and more in this day and age. It is hard to look at these cases with your head and not your heart. Nothing personal guys, but that is why God gave woman... man and vise versa. My husband can look at it from a purely factual realm like Andrea here and although I am not happy with that at times, it brings it back to reality so that sound decisions can be made.

It is impossible not to get emotionally involved when kids are hurt or in danger. I said a few posts ago that the cases that stung us the most were the ones where children were involved. I have seen seasoned detectives cry their eyes out after investigating domestic cases in which they had to remove the kids from the home because the parents were violent towards them or one another. I met one of the guys that worked the Carly Bruscia case and he quit because of it. I also have met a few of the officers that were involved in the Hank Earl Carr murder/suicide case. That poor kid was shot in the face by that **** with a rifle. When they saw that child, they were devastated. I had just transferred there a few weeks after that happened. They lost two great detectives and a young state trooper that had been on the job only a few months on that miserably day...he was only 23. So when you say it is easy to get emotional when kids are involved, I can tell you, it is impossible not to...

Look at what happened to the Mother of the boy for endangering her child and lying to the police.
Bowen's son ultimately died, raising the number killed by Carr to four. In later testimony it was revealed that he abused Bowen and her children, and he was found to be a convicted felon with a history of violent crime, including assault of police officers. He was also wanted in several states.
In 1999, Bowen was sentenced to 15 years in prison for allowing a violent felon around her children.[1] Later in 1999, she was charged with aiding and abetting Carr's escape, as well as the deaths of her son and the three police officers. She initially hadn't told police Carr's real name even after one officer broke down and begged her to tell them. Prosecutors claimed that if she had, police would have known he was a convicted felon and used tougher measures in handling him.
She was sentenced to 21.5 years in prison, to run concurrently with her child neglect sentence. However, those convictions were thrown out on appeal in 2001. A state appeals court found that prosecutors focused too much on what Bowen should have done to prevent Carr's rampage, rather than what she did after the crimes were committed. The court also acquitted her of aiding and abetting the deaths of her son and Trooper Crooks.[2] She was convicted of the remaining charges in 2002, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Sentencing guidelines called for only 6-11 years, but in sentencing her, the judge said that Bowen's lies to police were so egregious that they endangered the public.[3] This sentence also runs concurrently with her child abuse sentence, and she is eligible for release in 2017.
