Justice

Three years and one verdict later the Casey Anthony saga ends. Many are grumbling on their social networks, complaining that the jury said not guilty. This is their right, to grumble.
It is why the American justice system is such a great thing. A person gets their day in court, judged by a jury of their peers. One cannot ask for anything better than this.
This trial was doomed from the beginning. The news media had Ms Anthony tried, convicted and killed before the trial had even begun. The law enforcement people did their darndest to continue to feed the media anything and everything, right or wrong.
The defense team did a wonderful job of defending their client, tossing reasonable doubts into the minds of the jury. If you were on trial that is exactly what you would want your defense team to do as well.
I feel badly for the little girl that died. I feel badly for the family that was left behind. I wish the Anthony's the best of luck trying to move onward in life.
