Last night on the news there was a story about a man in Philadelphia named Casey Anthony. Since the verdict people have been calling him and leaving horrible messages saying he's a baby killer, he got away with murder, and he has even gotten death threats! He was interviewed and emphasized that he's not THAT Casey Anthony and pleaded for those people to stop annoying him and his family. This has now gone way too far!

The jury didn't see or hear all the things that we did, only what was presented in court. No newspapers, editorials, tv special updates, never had to listen to Nancy Grace run her mouth. The prosecution didn't meet their burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. I agree, Smokey the Elder, the jury gave the right verdict based on what they had.
That juror went overboard. Her name wasn't released so she overreacted. As for the jury, they clearly could not put things together. They had more than enough evidence to convict Casey whether or not they got to hear all that we heard. There was no evidence of an accidental drowning or of sexual abuse but there was a LOT of evidence pointing to murder and by CASEY, chloroform and duct tape just to name two. I believe that the jury wanted to get it over with b/c they had been sequestered for so long. I think a terrible miscarriage of justice has taken place and that the jurors know it.
