When Casey Anthony was acquitted in her trial, many Americans became outraged. Most Americans wanted (and still want) to put her in a government cage or cart her off to the tower to be executed. Some even suggested that she was guilty before they proved it. What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Apparently that axiom is dead, and now America has embraced a lynch-mob mentality when it comes to the justice system. I cannot help but feel angry and upset that so many Americans have painted a target on her head by making the trial a "national" issue. Why should the people of California or Texas worry about a criminal trial in Florida, especially when most people have no stake in such a trial? Of course, Nasty Nancy Grace pulls out her knives in hopes of killing Casey Anthony herself (yes I am overexaggerating here, but I am trying to make a point here).
Anthony Gregory articulated my sentiments when he stated that "the prosecution in the Anthony case did not make its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Americans should feel a bit safer and freer when a jury does not succumb to the hysteria of the lynch mob and convict someone based only on a little circumstantial evidence, the fact that she lied to the police, and other indictments of her character. It means there are still some people out there who understand how grave it is to damn someone to incarceration or death without 100% certainty that the person is guilty. It means some people out there actually understand the concept of justice."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am in no way defending or condemning Casy Anthony for what she did, if she did it. I have no stake in that trial.
you must be a man and have no sense of felling! i cant believe no one else has commented. where your eyes open. for real?
