What draws total strangers to a memorial service for a poor little murdered child? We all want the murderer to face severe punishment for the crime but what does the memorial service hold for people who never knew her?
Are they hoping to catch a glimpse of Caylee's grandparents, people suspected of having some complicity in the murder or coverup? Are they hoping to see some drama in the service? Are they hoping to be caught in front of the cameras?
Heaven forbid, but are some of them getting a morbid thrill from the circumstances revolving around this little girl's death?
I had thought the memorial service would have been a private, family affair and that's what it should have been but either the family or the church officials decided to let the public in. It will be a public spectacle and one more blot against humanity.
The death of this child is a tragedy. The behaviour of her family before and after her little body was discovered has been horrific. And now, even her memorial service will be used as a platform to benefit others...family, lawyers, reporters. They'll take center stage and the true purpose of the memorial service, grief for the murdered child, will take second place. How very sad.

I think a lot of people felt the way you do - they were expected "thousands" and only few hundred showed up.
Maybe there's hope for humanity yet. It's disturbed me how so many people close to that little girl have behaved in such an inhumane way.
