Good Riddance

Hopefully she never comes back



The local TV coverage of the release was pretty entertaining, though - I'm glad I tuned in - 'twas good for many laughs :)

Flipped on the TV a few minutes after midnight after getting a tweet that it was about to happen, then I decided to pee really quick and missed it! No biggie though as her 10-second walk with Baez was rerun ad nauseum as the media tried to figure out what to do next. As helicopters began to follow the SUV down I-4, Channel 9 reporter Kathi Belich was asked what the situation was on the ground at the jail. She replied, almost dejectedly, "Well, it looks like people are getting in their cars and leaving." Poor news media - all camped out ready to cover all the drama, but these frackin' people actually behaved themselves! How boring and uncoverable.

The true hilarity ensued, however, during the car chase via helicopter a la O.J. in the white Bronco. The SUV containing the baby killer pulled in to the downtown parking garage of one of her lawyers, Cheney Mason. Apparently MOTY (Mother of the Year) switched cars in there, and some other decoy cars went out also. The helicopters continued to follow a vehicle believed to be transporting the murderess to Orlando Executive Airport (a small airport used by private jets and private plane owners), but when the SUV didn't take the exit it should have to go there, all the reporters on live TV simultaneously realized they were following the wrong car and had lost track of her. D'OH!

Undaunted, at about 1 am they turned their cameras on a small plane on the tarmac at OEA with its doors open and crew in place, looking as if it was awaiting passengers. Reporters breathlessly noted that they believed this was the plane that would be taking MOTY to parts unknown. Helicopters followed vehicles driving toward the plane. The anticipation was palpable - is this the plane taking babykiller away? And to where?

Then people got out of the vehicles and started unloading a bunch of golf bags. Apparently these were some wealthy tourists preparing to fly home from a golfing vacation in Orlando. D'OH!

After this the TV stations gave up and returned to regular programming. HAHAHA! An appropriate finale to the circus this case has been.

Some sites are reporting that MOTY did board a plane at OEA at 3 am or so and that she is now in Ohio. (Ohio? - ok, I seem to remember she has some relatives there) Good for them - they can have her. Will they take the rest of her family too, please?

Again, good riddance.
