In Loving Memory

Within a few hours of the verdict being announced that Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder in the death, three years ago, of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, almost 270,000 people had committed to participate in the tribute with many more around the world joined in the effort. A Facebook Page titled Porch Lights on for Caylee Marie Anthony - started by Lisa Miller-Marin of Maryland - had people signing on from as far afield as Western Australia.  Candra Grindele admits that's she's an avid Facebooker. The Carrollton mother of three was also an avid viewer of the Casey Anthony trial. "The justice system worked, but in a way, it failed," said the 26-year-old. In the wake of her disappointment with the verdict, Grindele took part on the campaign called, "Porch Lights On For Caylee Marie Anthony." "I thought it was a really great idea and so I invited all my friends," Grindele said. "I kept track of it and it spread like wildfire." The campaign has inspired more than two million people, worldwide to turn on their porch lights in memory of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Participants were asked to leave their lights on, and millions did. "I thought it was a great idea to pay tribute to her. To show that justice may not have been served, but we all love you," Grindele added.
