I highly recommend watching the following videos on the Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias cases, as well as reading more about them in general if you are not already familiar with either case:
Thank you for reading!
There isn’t one.
They are both reprehensible human beings. Both murderers. Both liars. Both on Substack.
However, Jodi Arias being on Substack is nowhere near as offensive as Casey Anthony being on it. I also doubt that Jodi is actually using the platform herself to publish and write her posts. I assume it is all handled by a third party or, perhaps, because she is serving a life sentence, the prison has allowed her the small pleasure of having a Substack account whilst she spends the rest of her sorry days rotting behind bars.
Casey, on the other hand, was acquitted of a crime that I believe she did commit.1 Yet she is on Substack lecturing us about how unfair the justice system is (the very same one that let her go free) to "innocent" people like her, whilst also lecturing us on Black Lives Matter, racism, and feminism for men who pretend to be women. Instead of laying low and counting her lucky stars that she was acquitted, Casey has decided to do what narcissistic psychopaths do best: re-enter the public eye and reinvent herself as an “activist.”
She wants to be Amanda Knox, but what she does not realise is that Amanda’s case was far less clear-cut. There is genuine room for debate about whether Amanda was wrongfully convicted. Casey’s case, on the other hand, is entirely different. I believe she is guilty as sin (googling how to chloroform someone certainly does not help), she murdered her own child, and people tend not to like baby killers.
I do find Jodi’s case pretty harrowing, though. She almost decapitated her ex-fuck buddy-who-she-thought-was-her-boyfriend-that-she-had-only-gone-on-one-date-with-but-started-stalking-and-here-we-are-now. Jodi was a lot smarter with her murder, if smart is the right word. She still made an absolute cock-up, though. She left her DNA everywhere and thought that putting the camera she used to photograph Travis—her victim—before she shot and butchered him into the washing machine would somehow delete the images. But when it came to the investigation, she knew how to play the role of the shocked ex-girlfriend whose former boyfriend had just been murdered.
She was a shocking liar, but at least she tried!
By the time the trial rolled around, she had become a bit too cocky and should have pleaded guilty, saving us from having to listen to hours of sex phone calls between her and Travis. Me being the true crime nerd that I am, I watched every single day of the trial. It is all available on YouTube.
It was MY Jerry Springer.
MY ROMAN EMPIRE!
Casey, though... Casey really fucked up. For starters, she killed her two-year-old Caylee because she did not want her. She wanted to party and live the high life. Instead of abandoning her at a hospital or somewhere safe, she dumped her body like it was rubbish and then waited 30 days before reporting her missing... well, her mother did.
Caylee’s grandmother had not seen her for 30 days, and she had had enough. So she rocked up to Casey’s house demanding to know what was going on. Casey lied and claimed that her Hispanic-Latina nanny (how woke of her) had taken Caylee and never returned her, and that she had not been seen or heard from for 30 days (not so woke! Making her the bad hombre). What kind of parent does not report their missing child? And what kind of parent leaves their child with a nanny and does not get concerned when they do not hear from either of them?
Plot twist: there was no nanny. She also never worked at Disneyland as a manager. There was no chloroform suffocation. Caylee drowned in the family pool, and no one reported it because... because...
Today, Casey is accusing her father of murdering Caylee. Apparently, he also molested her and killed Caylee to further punish and abuse Casey.
How Casey got away with this is beyond me. The evidence was overwhelming. José Baez is a very “good” lawyer, and he, along with Casey’s enabling parents, helped create a monster.
Casey is very smug about her “innocence” in a way that Jodi cannot be whilst sitting in the slammer—even though I do think Jodi has convinced herself that she is innocent and acted in self-defence.
Casey has truly let the delusions of grandeur that contributed to her killing her daughter run wild. It is no wonder she has found solace and community in the SJW-TRA landscape. TRAs are selfish, perpetual victims and, most importantly, they do not believe in material reality—which makes their madness a perfect fit for someone like Casey.
She is a selfish, murderous human being, a perpetual victim despite getting away with literal fucking murder, and someone who has chosen to become a public figure, which naturally invites public scrutiny. Like them, she does not believe in reality either—the reality that she killed her daughter.
If trans women are women, then Casey Anthony and O. J. Simpson are innocent.
Jodi’s psychopathy is of a different variety—the John Wayne Gacy type (boy she loves to paint). She did go through an SJW phase where she was making clothes and other merchandise to raise money for abused women like herself (she was not abused by Travis), but she seems to have knocked that off. These days, she writes about a variety of things, but rarely politics. If anything, she focuses more on prison politics, prison dynamics, and recipes. The thing I find pretty naff is that most of her posts are paywalled, but the girl has gotta get coin for commissary somehow.
Jodi is also quite a good writer. I already knew that from watching her trial, where large portions of her diary were read into evidence. She comes across as surprisingly down to earth. If you did not know who she was, you would probably think, Ah, this is a real person. No AI-generated Substack slop, just a gal who likes to bake and share her life. She does not have the arrogance of someone who got away with child murder. She has a je ne sais quoi about her.
Casey’s Substack is utter and complete garbage, and there are only seven “pieces” (let us hope it stays that way). She wrote about communism versus socialism as if we fucking asked her to, and, of course, jumping on the Epstein-ICE bandwagon. It is easy for Hitler to point at Mao Zedong and say, “But look at him! He killed more people than me!”
Casey, no one cares how appalled you are by a child sex trafficker when you yourself killed your own child and allowed your daughter to be around the father you now claim molested you. We could not give a flying fuck about how you are using your “white privilege” (the same privilege that got you out of prison) to fight for the most marginalised (men who pretend to be women).
And we really do not wanna know how anti-AI you are. You are like every other Substack “author” who carries on about AI (and secretly uses it) because it is no longer fashionable to bang on about SHEIN. Now you have found a new cause: AI-generated sexually explicit images of children. It is a serious issue and a noble cause, but it is not one that needs a child killer as its spokesperson.
Why do you not head off to the landfill and drought-ridden wasteland where all the useless AI prompts go to die, leave the rest of us alone, and spare us from having to read your shit?
Or, if you want to match the persecution narrative of your trans siblings, why do you not actually persecute—or, should I say, prosecute—yourself? Go hand yourself in, admit the verdict was wrong, and spend some time in prison with all the men who identify as women.
What is wrong with bunking with a chick with a dick?
Jodi, I would like to read more of your recipes and about your life in prison, and I hope that one day you will have the lady cojones to write about what really happened on that fateful day. What triggered you? I mean, you were already being a weirdo stalking him and getting angry whenever you saw him with other women, but what made you decide to buy those gas cans, drive all the way to his house, sleep with him, and then shoot and stab him?
Or did you not decide until you got there? Or was it only after you had sex? Did he say something to upset you?
Did you “snap”? Why did you not stop after shooting him, when he was still alive?
Also, do you subscribe to Casey’s Substack? Do you think she is innocent?
Let us know.

I know Casey Anthony was acquitted, which means that, in the eyes of the law, she is not guilty and cannot be tried again for the murder of her daughter. However, the law has no control over public opinion or personal belief. I, like many others, believe that Casey Anthony was wrongfully acquitted and that she is, in fact, guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
Even if she was somehow 100% innocent, it still doesn't change the fact that in the 30 days before her mother forced her way into the house demanding answers then calling emergency services, she did nothing about the young girl notably absent from her life.
I still can't get over that.
I do hope other people choose to write about what she does here on Substack and provides screenshots. The back and forth I had with her was interesting until she decided to block me.
