Anthony verdict

OK, Florida fen (and others, I suppose) - I kept up almost not at all with the whole Casey Anthony thing, aside from having heard her and her daughter's name once in a while in the news the past few years. (Yeah, you might think this hard to do, but I assure you, there's plenty else in the news to occupy me, since watching certain other topics is sort of part of my job.)

What do you think about today's acquittal?

Thank effin' GOD for it! I was fully expecting the jury to be as braindead and ignorant of the law as most of the population but they apparently had some sense.

The prosecution never proved their case and attempted to rely on innuendo and the media. If this case proved anything, it's that the system CAN work.

It's what the prosecution gets for trying to make names for themselves and neglecting to establish what all their evidence meant. Blech!

I think we've seen this before, in the last "trial of the century," didn't we?

As I said, I didn't watch the trial and I don't even know the particulars of the media coverage leading up to it. But if you mean, they examined the evidence on its merits rather than being swayed by emotion, it seems they did!
