Well.....and this is just a guess....but maybe people are acting like this is new because it really is new to them. With each highly publicized case, a new wave of people figure out how the legal system works or receive confirmations that what they've seen in the media (and thought was incorrect) is actually how it goes. In life, people (children, employees, etc) get punished by authority (parents, employers, etc) on circumstancial evidence all the time. So it's not far-fetched for people to assume the justice system would operate that way, too. Or else wish so badly that it did they convince themselves it's possible even if they know deep-down it's not.

1. How could someone prove that it's been more than an hour since discovery?
2. Don't police departments require folks to wait 48 hours before they can report someone as missing? Never mind.

1. That's what I was thinking. 
2. It's 24 hours, AFAIK.

For an adult yes, but for a young child, NO. You can notify the police 5 minutes after last seeing your child.

Hmmm....is there an age limit on that? I've had a lot of adolescent patients (12+) who ran away and their parents called the police only to be told they had to wait 24 hours.
ETA: Yeah, what he said up there.

Due to time served, she could be out later in July or August.

Regardless of how one feels about the verdict or what the judge sentenced her to, for her personal safety it's probably best she was not released today. I cant say I'd say the same if I was in jail waiting to be released, but this case has brought its share of nutjobs out of the woodwork, and I cant help but to feel there is a small element of folks out there waiting to enact their own justice on her as soon as security lets up.
