I can't hate on the jurors for doing their jobs - I'm sure there's at least one of them who feels like they let a murderer walk. But that was the only thing they could do if there was not enough evidence to legally say "you're guilty."

I agree.
On another note, I absolutely hated the coverage of this trial. I stopped watching HLN and other channels that showed extensive coverage. I watched just enough to get the gist of what the prosecution and the defense were saying. My dislike wasn't because what happened to Caylee was so horrible. I disliked it because I kept wondering "why Caylee Anthony? Why am I hearing about
her?" I will say that there are shows, like annoying ass Nancy Grace, who do fight the good fight for lesser known victims who would be unknown and uncared for had it not been for such shows.
