Unless you live under a rock, you know that yesterday the jury for the Casey Anthony trial reached a shocking decision: Not Guilty! I'll be honest, I was pretty shocked that they found her not guilty, and that on Thursday she very well might be a free woman. With that said, after thinking about it for a bit, could you have said she was guilty to the 1st degree, and possibly sentenced her to die based on the evidence presented? Although I believe she is guilty (to what extent I'm not sure), the burden of proof was on the prosecution, and unfortunately, they weren't able to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that she was guilty of this crime. The defense was able to put doubt and confusion into the minds of the jury, which ultimately led to this outcome. Finally, the prosecution took a misstep by trying to convict her of murder to the 1st degree without any hard evidence.
At the end of the day, just like OJ Simpson, she has to live with this the rest of her life, and some day she will get what's coming to her.
People expect Casey Anthony to make a pretty penny from this ordeal, which is sickening. Even though we had no control over the outcome of the trial, we do have control over whether Casey Anthony and/or her family or anyone related to this tragedy make a profit from this ordeal.
