We were all mesmerized with the strange story of Casey Anthony and her missing daughter, Caylee, whose body was later found in a wooded area... and the seemingly odd fashion in which the young mom dealt with the news of her daughter's disappearance and death. After a trial that was televised and covered on all major news platforms, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter and most of the country was in shock. Now, it's been a year since the trial verdict and Casey Anthony is nearly done with her one-year probation for check fraud, which means that soon, she will be a completely free woman. Do you still have doubts about the trial verdict? Do you think Casey Anthony is responsible for her daughter's death? MSNBC.MSN.COM reports: Poster Comment:"Casey Anthony, the young Florida mother who became a cable news sensation after the 2008 disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, finishes her year of probation on check fraud charges on Friday, her lawyer told ABC News."

Given the case and lack of evidence the incompetent prosecution team presented, had I been on the jury I would have voted not guilty. They proved the baby was dead and that she was a lying slut who partied and was loaded all the time and a horrible mother but they didn't prove beyond a reaasonable doubt that she killed her child.
My feelings exactly. Nothing I can add except, trial by media is reserved for certain people; trailer trash moms and billionaire investment bankers who "swindle lots of the wrong folks", particularly wealthy non Christians in New York City.
A few years back a survey was done of people who had served on juries. What was shocking was 73% said they went into the trial believing that the person was "probably" guilty because they wouldn't have been arrested otherwise. That is what is wrong with the jury system. We are brainwashed into believing the authorities/govt are always the honest ones and would never do anything malicious. Fact is, many prosecutors and law enforcement authorities will do whatever it takes to win a case and make themselves look like the "good guys" and the heros, including convicting innocent people. I am anti-capital punishment and recently I got into a discussion with a pro-capital punishment person who lives in Texas. It was amazing how little they seemed to care about justice and ensuring the guilty person was the one convicted and executed. I said I might be able to accept capital punishment under one condition.... that those who are pro-capital punishment will admit they are guilty of murder if an innocent person is executed and that they would have to do life in prison for taking part in the killing of an innocent. Of course, you know what the answer was... "why should I be punished... I didn't do anything wrong".

Of course, you know what the answer was... "why should I be punished... I didn't do anything wrong". Well said. And even if a jury wrongly convicts or a man is wrongly executed, jurors and pro CP advocates tell themselves (or are told by cops) that "he was probably guilty of sumthin' else anyway". Many people who support CP in principle are shocked when they are familiarized with it in practice. When a VA judge and prosecutor refused to allow a new trial for a condemned prisoner that was eventually freed (by the federal court) with new DNA evidence, I decided to deny my support for CP. The state simply cannot be trusted with the power when their career climbing minions tell themselves that condemned prisoners who may be innocent are "prolly guilty of somethin' else" anyway. In order to frustrate anti CP folks they must appear infallible when putting people to death. The search for truth is no longer a noteworthy goal to such people.
