So I couldn't help myself and just have to make a few comments about the Casey Anthony trial. Do I think she did it? Yes. But they didn't ask me. The defense team successfully applied reasonable doubt to the circumstantial evidence against Anthony. All they had to do was provide the jury with reasonable doubt and that is in fact what they did.
"This jury found it reasonable to believe that a grandfather would see his granddaughter drown in an innocent manner, with no criminal liability, take that innocent accident, cover it up to frame his own daughter for first-degree murder and watch her have to battle a potential death penalty." They found it reasonable, so, under our system, she's not guilty.
While it really stinks, and we all think she did it....unfortunately our legal system is not perfect. I personally would much rather see a guilty person walk, than an innocent person go to prison.
Anyhow, one thing is for certain....the defense attorney's hourly rate just skyrocketed!!! BOOM.
