After watching Casey Anthony set free (most likely because the state reached too far in asking for death and, thus, the jury balked) I think there should be a higher level of proof than reasonable doubt for the death penalty.

We now have so many forensic tools (security/video cameras, computer/phone record searches et. al. as well as that silver bullet known as DNA) that we should keep “Life” as is, but raise ‘Death’ to Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt.

Keep it in the quiver, but only pull it when sure.

Certainly Caylee Anthony would have found a greater degree of justice.

Most likely what? The state of Florida gave the jury many choices ~ they didn't balk.

It was California that restricted the jury's choices too far in the OJ case.

Failure to deal with the actual situation regarding public information like who got charged what with which and did the jury have choices indicates you're not really up on this case.
