Class Act: Casey Anthony Defense Attorney Gives Reporters The Finger

"Yesterday’s stunning verdict in the Casey Anthony trial has revealed a number of rifts in public opinion. While the overriding public opinion seems to be of stunned outrage, there are a few iconoclasts who feel that justice was served by the jury’s decision of not guilty on the charges of murder. But another, more secondary topic that has been just as hotly debated in the wake of the verdict has been the media’s role in this case. And Casey Anthony Defense Attorney Cheney Mason left little doubt on his true feelings evidenced by his gesture here."

"Shortly after the verdict had been reached yesterday, Mason spoke to the media covering this gruesome and sad story and chose to vilify the very media to which he was speaking. Apparently he wanted to be crystal clear on how he felt about the press, and felt that he needed this particular gesture to get his feelings across. Stay classy Cheney Mason!"

I happened on this case a week or two ago through a FR thread. I was surprised to find out an office mate knew about it. He said the news inundated you with it.

That explains it. I haven’t had TV since 1997. I just started following this. I’m getting the feeling that the jury got it right, at least based on the evidence they were exposed to. This woman may be guilty of the crime, but it looks like the prosecution did not make the case.

Keep posting that. The bitch got away with murdering her own child.
