I'm not an expert on this case but I want to say something which I shouldn't need to say: In a case of this sort, seen before a jury, the defendant MUST be PROVEN guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. I see no evidence that the jury was corrupted or grossly incompetent so, self evidently, the jury couldn't in good faith conclude BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the baby was murdered. Is the jury supposed to do their job according to the rules or is the jury supposed to appease those who watch TV and want a good show with a good plot and a tidy ending? The prosecutor obviously failed and failed badly to make that case. Or maybe our population needs education on critical thinking...but I don't understand what all the hubub is about given the overall context.

Which would you rather have, an occasional case where a guilty person can't be proven guilty or lots of cases where innocent people are hung?

What I'm still wondering is why our system of "justice" hasn't seen fit to even seriously investigate Wall Street for the events surrounding the 2008 crash and bezzle.

For anyone unfamiliar with the case, here's the evidence in a nutshell:

The evidence was more than sufficient to prove a homicide: a baby disappeared and the last person seen with the child—the mother—lied repeatedly for a full month about her whereabouts; deliberately lied in a way that prevented anyone from searching for the child. The mother's researching of chloroform on the computer matched up to the finding of chloroform traces in the trunk of the car. The same car trunk where a hair consistent with Caylee's was found; a hair that was arguably from a decomposing body. The same car trunk from which the smell of a decomposing body emanated strongly. The child's decomposed body was found bagged in the woods near the mother's house. Significantly, the child's mouth and nose had been duct taped. And while that child's body lay decomposing in the woods, the mother euphorically and gleefully partied with her buddies knowing full well that not only was her child dead but she was actively preventing anyone from finding out. That evidence not only proved a homicide, it proved that Casey Anthony committed it. 

Casey's behavior was "bizarre"? No. Casey's behavior was INSIDIOUS.
