Hmmm, I think they made a decision based NOT on emotion. Emotional opinion is SHE WAS GUILTY AND SHOULD BE HANGED. Just look around at the unwashed masses, via twitter or facebook or in the streets or at the bar...legal experts, all.

The real issue is the prosecution went too far in charges pursued without any real evidence to back it up. Hearsay is not evidence. They had very, very, little to offer.

Beyond a reasonable doubt, remember. They didn't do their job, if she was, in fact, guilty.

ps JUST LIKE OJ JUST LIKE OJ. Hardly just like OJ. What a silly already overused comparison.

I read a repost on CNN of twitter comments (because I don't EVEN get the whole twitter thing, what's with the 'at' sign or the pound sign or whatever sign that precedes 'tweets'? But I digress.) It was about our justice system being based on "it's better to let a guilty person go free than to convict an innocent person." This is why the prosecutors need to do a good job and NOT rely on the emotional opinions of the masses, thinking the jury can't rise above emotional opinion.

Doesn't anyone else wonder who the father of this child was and think maybe it was Dad/grandpa? And maybe they covered it up because when she died they knew they would be found out to be having an incestuous relationship because of the testing that could be done during an autopsy??

DNA testing was done and both George (dad) and Lee (brother) were excluded as possible fathers.

Wouldn't that be a heck of a Maury show ...

HLN was talking about whether or not the biological father, if ever identified, could pursue a wrongful death civil suit against Casey. Heck, even Casey may not know who he is.

She has already been served by Zenaida Gonzalez' attorney for defamation of character.

My prediction: Casey Anthony will be dead within two years, either suicide or drug overdose. Is it too late to add her to my celebrity death pool?

Bullshit. You are so high on drugs. It was EXACTLY like OJ.

OJ: Running back for the Buffalo Bills, portrayed a navy SEAL, African American

CA: Running back for the Buffalo Bills, portrayed a navy SEAL, African American

What more evidence do you need? Next, you're gonna start in on the whole six million lies thing, aren't you?

If the trash bag don't fit (over Casey's head), you must acquit
