Here, on this web site, we see a lynch mob in full flower. Some here want to lynch the jurors, not just the accused.

I believe the jury acted responsibly and did their jobs to the best of their abilities. They were drafted. They did not volunteer. They followed the instructions of the judge and they found insufficient evidence to convict the defendant of murder. Even the prosecutors admitted they had a problem with insufficient evidence.

If the mob lynched Casey Anthony and the twelve members of the jury, would the little girl be brought back to life? No, but we would end a constitutional framework of justice in criminal prosecutions and declare anarchy king and openly embrace mob rule.

The next one of us accused of any crime would deserve the same vigilante justice - trials are unnecessary when you have torches and billy clubs.

Once you let slip the dogs of vengeance, borne of fury, you have embraced evil.

That's the problem.

“trials are unnecessary when you have torches and billy clubs”

Childish hyberbole.

The act of many of us being incensed at a horrible verdict by a jury is no indication that we are wrong. I would not hang any of the jury...but I am free to recognize they behaved horribly stupid, and your worries about mob mentality cannot change that. For whatever reason, the jury acted cowardly and sheep-like.

Oh, knock it off, Drama Queen. This is a discussion forum. Two words: FREE SPEECH. No one is running around with pitchforks and torches. At least not yet.

Face it, this was a pathetic assortment of incurious, confused dullards too stupid to even grasp the difference between "reasonable doubt" and "no doubt." And frankly, as more and more examples of this jury's impaired reasoning leaks out, I question the intelligence of those on this forum continuing to defend their verdict. I find it strikingly similar to the Obamabots defending "their guy."

By the way, I take it you were equally thrilled with the O.J. jury's verdict?

You have a flair for the melodramatic.

Why are you using an inflammatory phrase like lynch mob to describe posters expressing their opinion on this matter? Don't you believe in freedom of speech?
