Perhaps it is time for us to stop wasting our energy. It is quite obvious that the Casey Anthony jurors represent the same mental density as some people that post on CD.
Good words you should heed.

de·bate - a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints
People on this thread are debating the intelligence, common sense and integrity of the jurors and whether or not the system falls short. You still are under the impression that it is simply that many disagree with the outcome...it goes a bit deeper and you are having such a difficult time comprehending this and that is astonishing...
There's a popular debate going on, which this Casey Anthony case did not create, but brings to the foreground and it is well worth discussing...
You, for some bizarre reason, have decided that discussing the issue and how it relates to this case is taboo. Others find it worth the consideration. Too bad that you have such tunnel vision and that is the very reason that some people make bad and unworthy jurors.

You post your same mantra over and over without providing any logical argument as to how you came up with your conclusions. Perhaps the jury made this same failure of critical thinking.

Good link, thanks.
Here are some points from your link that certainly apply to the failure of the jury to do due diligence in the Casey Anthony trial.

The process which Martin describes . . . is ridiculous [in] that juries are basically taught the law after hearing the facts of the case. If one is applying a rule, shouldn’t one know about the rule first in order to determine which facts are relevant and which are not?
Second, it takes law students three years to learn the law — or at least a semester to learn a specific subject like torts — and yet juries are expected to understand the law after just one brief lecture from the judge. . . .
Third, many judges disallow note-taking. But in lengthy trials — or even in trials lasting a day or two — how are jurors supposed to remember the details? . . . I’d like to try an experiment — give a bunch of judges an hour lecture about a specific set of legal rules, not let them take notes, and then see how much they remember. This is difficult even for those with legal training — imagine how hard it must be for those without such training! .

You gave a flawed analogy. Obama inherited the financial mess we're in. There's not much that a President can do right now to get things going. The results wouldn't be much different if Jesus himself were the POTUS. Time to stop listening to partisan radio and hit the library.

I think you grossly misunderstood...
My point was that an issue can be debated even when the outcome is signed, sealed and delivered. I was using Obama's winning the election to make the point that his policies are still debated even after the majority voted him into office. The poster I was responding to seemed to think that because Anthony was found not guilty, there was no longer a reason to debate the topic. It was an analogy that really had nothing to do with Obama or his policies. Sorry that you did not get that.

I would say, we have higher expectations of people than you do. We have higher expectations of voters, which is where juries come from.

Germany had Adolf Hitler
Arabia had Osama Bin Laden
North Korea has Kim Jong II
United States has Casey Anthony
I don't think Hitler or Osama would have been capable of doing what Casey Anthony appears to have done.
