I think one of the reasons I was so shocked is because I WASN'T following it super closely. I was going off of what a lot of the hyperbole in the press. And of course I have my reaction to it, but I think my reaction is a) I am surprised that she got off because I was under the assumption that they had a lot more evidence against her (through hearing what everyone had to say about it), and b) I just feel bad for that little girl. No one should have to go through that. It's just a sad situation all around. BUT, if I am ever arrested and put on trial for something (heaven forbid), I would hope to have the presumption of innocence that we are lucky to have in this country.
