Folks, in case you missed it, amongst all the spin, here's his answer. I will, at least, give you credit for responding, Peil. Thanks.
Quote from Petsamo:
I like how our justice system is set up. It's better to let a guilty person go free than have an innocent person go to jail.
For those who believe in God, Anthony will not escape His justice.![]()
Quote from pspr:
Being found "not guilty" is not the same as being found innocent. Open your mind Peil and understand the difference. Is O.J. also innocent of his murders since a jury found him "not guilty"?
Besides here are some facts that should have convicted her.
1. The bag the body was in came from the Anthony house.
2. The duct tape found with the body was of an unusual and hard to find brand that is no longer being sold. Same type was also found in the Anthony residence.
3. Blanket found with body matches bedding found at Anthony home.
4. Body in swamp 6 doors down from Anthony home.
5. Casey telling lies about baby sitter kidnapping child.
7. If death was an honest accident, the death would have been reported not 'drag the body down to the swamp and toss her in'.
6. Hundreds of other circumstantial evidence pointing to Casey as murderer or illegally causing accidental death.
7. Did George do it? No, Casey would have told the story if he had.
8. Did Cindy do it? No, Casey would have told the story if she had.
9. Did Brother do it? No, Casey would have told on him too.
10. That leaves Casey. Guilty of negligent manslaughter at the very least.
11. Jury watches too much CSI and wanted DNA, finger prints or something solid. Sometimes you just have to tie the available facts together. They didn't.

Talk about taking my answer out of context. But I guess this is why you all thought she was guilty.
Quote from LEAPup:
The jury would have been hung if I were on it, ZERO question. I also think they just wanted to go home, and basically forgot about the little girl they were there to render justice for. So sad...

Quote from Max E. Pad:
I think that was why both Casey Anthony and her lawyers looked completely shocked when the verdict came down. Usually there is atleast one person on a jury who definately wants to see someone pay for a heinous crime, and they would feel badly about themselves for letting a murderer off the hook, and they tend to stand their ground.
In a case like this generally speaking it is a horrible sign when the jury comes to a conclusion within 11 hours, because it means everyone was able to reach a guilty verdict right away.
Usually you would expect a case like this to take days to solve, because the people who want the person to pay for the crime see it as their duty to make sure the criminal pays the price, for moral, or spiritual reasons.
From what i have read, and heard, it is much more rare for a person to hold out for days to protect a persons innocence, especially against incredible peer pressure. So an elongated jury decision is in favour of the accused, while a quick one usually goes against the accused.
It was very strange in this case for all 12 people to come to a unanimous decision within 11 hours, that she was not guilty.
