The jury foreman in the Casey Anthony trial says that acquitting Casey Anthony of murder does not mean she is innocent. Once again, what most of the public refuses to see is that according to the law, they could not convict Casey based upon the evidence shown.
Even to convict of manslaughter they would have needed much more than they got. As I listened to the judge's instructions to the jury and really dissected what the instructions said, my husband and I both said "how on earth can they convict her?".
Emotions aside, our justice system is "innocent until proven guilty". Although in this case it feels like Casey Anthony got away with murder and there is no justice for little Caylee, would you want to live in a country where you can be accused, tried and convicted without concrete proof?
