My aunt just changed her Facebook profile picture to a picture of Caylee.
Oy.

I should not be able to conceivably believe why so many people poured their heart and soul into this terribly boring story.

But this is America where Justin Bieber and bad beliefs thrive.

I don't think that, as a juror, I could convict anybody without 1) A cause of death (to show that a murder occurred at all) and 2) Some kind of physical evidence to link that person to the murder. I can't see anybody being convicted on this one because there is no proof that she was even murdered.

Even though Casey Anthony slipped through the cracks, I'm glad I live in a country where a person is innocent until proven guilty. Except if you live in West Memphis, Arkansas.
Innocent people do not lie to police. Accidents are not made to look like murders. Unfortunately, common sense is not proof of guilt in a court of law.

This isn't about guilt vs. innocence. She was convicted of lying so the whole liar thing is covered. A liar does not make a murderer unless there is evidence as such. Stranger things have happened so an accident looking like a murder is not so impossible that it could remove doubt.
I don't consider any of this common sense. It may be emotion and assumption but not common sense. And thank God the law is not (solely) based on what some consider common sense.

I suppose I didn't make clear that I DO understand the difference between innocent and "not guilty". I understand, and agree with the jury's verdict. There was not enough evidence to convict. That doesn't mean I don't think the bitch did it.
A liar does not a murderer make in an American court of law. My point is that if you are innocent of a crime, you know the truth will save you, and therefore, you tell the truth. That sounds like common sense to me.
She's just lucky it took investigators 6 months to find the body, or else there'd probably be some pretty damning physical evidence.

Cool.
I still don't consider any of this common sense.
ETA: I did see where you said you're glad you live in a country where people are innocent until proven guilty.

LOL The truth has sent many a man to jail. Sorry maybe I was born into a cynical race so truth in a court of law has never done a lot of the people I've known any good.

Court cases have convicted people on bodies that have been found 3, 5 and 10 years later so I can't agree with you on that one.
But in the grand scheme I understand where your thoughts are coming from so hey.

Is that cynical race the human race?

Well, it's the role of the prosecutor to bring the case in a certain way. The prosecutors failed to do so--there was reasonable doubt pinging all over the place.
My FB page hasn't been popping the way that some of y'all have experienced. I'm lucky, I guess.
