I largely avoided most of the trial frenzy but from what I saw, I would say it's very despicable. Casey Anthony was effectively being tried in the media as well and it seemed like the media wanted to issue a guilty verdict for her. And what of the people? The people had this very dangerous mindset of guilty before innocent. [MOD CUT]
I agree with your post 100%.
The prosecution did not connect the dots well enough to eliminate reasonable doubt.
Did she do it? Could very well be!
Did they prove it beyond reasonable doubt? Nope!

Didn't follow the trial for one moment. Don't have cable, don't care for this sort of stuff. Can someone give me the ultra short 411?
I dind't follow it either but based on a couple stories I read, the prosecution tried to tie her to the alleged murder on circumstantial evidence and emotion, no hard proof at all. The media bought into it, so did the general public, but the defense managed to expose cracks in the prosecution's "evidence" and the jury felt that she was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt

I think it was summarized as circumstantial evidence and too much reasonable doubt.
I'm not sure, but I think chloroform or duct tape was admitted to be used on the child to keep it quiet. (This is from the media.) Casey anthony told the responders that the child drowned int he pool. This morning defense said, "although she is a lying **** you have to . . . . .(made their case).
Circumstantial evidence presented. A shovel borrowed, but no follow up. I blame shoddy prosecution or investigation.
What party girl uses a shovel?
But anyways, then Not Guilty verdict and every celeb(Kim Kardashian), druggie, or whatever is offended. If they are so offended, why not go to law school?
Personally, I'm more offended about the three women who went missing during the media circus of a trial, one testified against her pimp in court. Another turned up dead.
Juries consist of people who aren't smart enough to get out of jury duty....
This is exactly the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
During this trial my observation was directed not at the trial itself but at the free for all of pseudo intellectual narcissists hell bent on gathering information for a book or otherwise self promoting.
This verdict is representive of a morally bankrupt society that we have become. This verdict is an example of how socially and morally corrupt individuals look at black and white and call it green and yellow. This is what socialists do when they redistribute wealth. It is representative of progressive brainwashing that prohibits logical thought from processing facts.
It is a sad day for our country when 12 morally bankrupt incompetent sheeple are posted with justice for this little innocent. Now the pundits are saying well it must have been George! Jurors are incorruptable and all seeing right? No, idiot pundits and idiot jurors will not see what they are incapable of seeing.
So this little heathen, representative of a generation not far apart from her and as taught by a Godless underclass of liberally educated weakminded pseudo intellectual secular peasants, goes free with a big smile.
This country is toast!
