It bothers me that the law compels me to vote not guilty in a case where I’m pretty certain the defendant is guilty just because prosecutors are incompetent.

I pray I never find myself on that kind of jury. The prosecution came up with a great and probably true theory, but just not a lot of evidence to back it up. Certainly the child was dumped in the swamp, and probably murdered, but by whom? The mother's certainly guilty of something, but what? How much evidential weight does the defendant's demeanor carry?

I am convinced that we, as a country, no longer possess critical thinking skills.

Casey’s Car, decomposition in trunk of Casey’s car, Casey’s abandoned car, Casey claiming to be in Tampa, Jacksonville with car, no sightings by ANYONE of Caylee, Casey lies, lies, lies, screaming Grandmother on phone with police of missing grandchild and smell of death in car, duct taped-skeletonized-Caylee found in swampy woods near home. Casey Anthony failing to report child missing.

Gee, I wonder what Casey’s involvment was. extreme sarcasm

To believe that THIS jury could not even find Casey Anthony guilty on a count of child neglect is beyond comprehension.
