I agree with that statement.
I would rather a guilty Casey Anthony go free than any innocent person to be convicted.

So would a lot of us. But that doesn’t mean we “celebrate” it or “defend” it.
Wrong is wrong, and a miscarriage of justice is wrong.
Casey is a sociopath. She will kill again. That means that what you are saying is that you’d rather Casey kill another person than that she go to jail.

That is a cop-out and a non-sequitur. This same idiot jury would have convicted a man with far less evidence.
They also would have convicted someone in a self-defense situation just for not reporting the incident.
If they are prepared to let her off they should be prepared to articulate why. You show me a body in a swamp wrapped in duct tape and stuffed into a garbage bag the defense is going to have a really tough time convincing a reasonable person it was not homicide.
You show me a mother who doesn't care where her daughter is for a month and you have a real hard time convincing a reasonable person she didn't have anything to do with her death.
Some half-baked story of drowning with absolutely no supporting evidence isn't going to cut it.
And that is well before you get to all the other damning evidence in the case.
Even if you believe the defense this woman sets new lows in negligence of a parent, and yet these idiots call her "a good mother?"
If you are defending them then I have a huge problem with you.
Inn Illinois of all p[laces, a few years ago the governor commuted all of the death penalty convictions to life in prison because so many of the convictions were later proven wrong and several of the prisoners had to be released.
The judges and juries were convicting based upon outright lies from the prosecuters and/or the prosecuters withholding evidence.
The entire judicial systen was so bad that there was no confidence that any of the death penalty convictions were valid.
Anybody who might have possibly been innocent in a capital murder case with the possibilty of a death sentence will have come clean about how the child died, taken the stand and pleaded with the jury. She took her chances because she had no defense and knew it was not an accident.
