The View ends on an exciting note.
Joy Behar's still talking about the details of the case and how guilty Casey Anthony could be.
Whoopi Goldberg: She was acquitted! Acquitted! A jury of 12 people found her not guilty. The problem with trials like this is people won't take what the justice system, that many claim to believe in, seriously. People will keep going and going and going...then what's the point of a justice system (unless, of course, there will be an appeal)
Joy Behar: That's the court's decision but I'm talking about the court of public opinion...that I believe in.
Audience: Applause and scream.
Whoopi Yells: The court of public opinion is what gets people killed in false convictions and the death penalty. (Me: It's also what gets Casey Anthony's parents death threats and condones street justice when people think the justice system has failed.) Public opinion is like an (bleep--she said asshole but they bleeped it), everyone has one.
Amen, Whoopi.
Barbara Walter's Nightline will have the defense attorney this evening.
