I think public outrage is normal and healthy in these types of situations. Hell, I'd be worried for our society if everyone was indifferent to the verdict. You lose some and you win some. I think she either intentionally killed her daughter or accidentally killed her and tried to cover it but the evidence really wasn't there. Sometimes juries convict anyway (Scott Peterson) and sometimes they don't (Casey Anthony).

I've also never understood why Nancy Grace picks certain case like this and the Duke lacross players and just beats them to hell and back. I know just within the last year alone in MI there was a man who killed his three very young sons in the woods and a story about a young mother who supposedly sold her 4yr old daughter to a convicted rapist for drug money. I don't recall those stories making it past the local papers.

Was she white?

And aside from that, such a scenario is sadly not uncommon. I've been doing volunteer work lately representing the children taken into the state's custody from abusive parents... nothing shocks me anymore.

Oh yeah, dumb site alert: http://www.infamoushotties.com/caseyanthony.html
