Well I'll be the minority vote here, but I have to say I'm surprised at comments such as "she's obviously guilty or she would have testified" and "Florida is incompetent" and "our justice system failed." It was JUST the 4th of July and everyone is forgetting the principles on which our country was founded --- innocence until PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and the absolute right to remain silent. Florida can be kind of a joke (hence our super governor) but I am really proud of the jurors for actually following the constitution. The State provided literally NO evidence that Casey Anthony was the person who did these horrible things to the child (duct tape, chloroform, etc) and based its entire case on her behavior after the fact, which is just not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Do I think she did it? Probably. Do I think she'll pay in the form of karma or the afterlife or whatever you believe in? Yep. But anyone who believes that the evidence was enough to convict is simply lacking in their understanding of the American judicial system, and I think that's sad.

p.s. The State probably will just give it up at this point. There really isn't any evidence...

ITA. Like I said, it is sad and there were a lot of questions left unanswered. This "America Let me Down" attitude is a little upsetting.

Boy! I missed a hot one :-) Darn these expense reports!

I had a feeling that she would get off. My co-worker and I were saying as much before the verdict. I didn't base my belief on any knowlege of the legal system, but solely on the basis that the defense attorneys turned the whole thing into one big side show, casting allegations everywhere (but then, if I am being fair, they did do their job well) and carrying on and such.

I believe that her mother lied on the stand...I believe that that little girl was murdered...and I do believe that the real tragedy is that a murderer is now walking free. And if she could party as hard as she did when her daughter was "missing" (while she was lying to police on at least 4 separate occasions about where her daughter was, when she knew all along that she was dead), then I guess she'll be having one big throw down now.

But her dance with the Devil is only destined to end one way. That baby will get her justice. I have to believe that.

My thoughts exactly!

I agree. I m just glad that I wasn't on the jury! Not that I would have been since I don't live in Florida but you understand what I mean.

Yea, I kept trying to explain it to Jeff. The DA went after too big of fish on this one. If they would have went for negligence, endangerment, things like that...or even a lesser manslaughter charge, I think they would have gotten her on some stuff that would have actually warranted more than one year in jail. The jurors' hands were tied. They could not find guilt of Murder 1 or Aggravated Child Abuse. The evidence wasn't there. It is all so sad. And, you know she'll have more kids while there are those of us out that that are struggling to have one. So gross. I am just worried that someone out there will beat her to a bloody pulp or kill her, and then let her become the victim. I hope everyone out there knows she isn't worth the time of day to even be acknowledged as a human.
