Same...I could see the shadow of a doubt thing, but she didn't get in trouble for anything!

Definitely Casey Anthony

@Dandelion: I thought that she got charged with obstruction of justice or misleading the police. She was held accountable for that, but not the death of her daughter.

same as others- casey anthony. my DH is a lawyer and it drives him crazy when jurors do not understand "beyond a reasonable doubt". this does NOT mean you have to be "110%, absolutely positively SURE" that they did not do it. there can still be doubt, but only to the extent that it would not affect a "reasonable persons" belief that the person is guilty.

Casey Anthony here too. I also think the initial guilty verdict in the Amanda Knox case was wrong.

@yoursilverlining: Why do you think Southerners would have been more likely to find CA guilty?

Initial verdict for Amanda Knox surprised me.

Casey Anthony didn't surprise me - I believe she's guilty, but in watching the trial I could totally see a case for reasonable doubt.

Casey Anthony but I just went through jury duty earlier this week and the jurors could not be biased based on what they heard on the news. The evidence had to compelling enough to charge her. They had to use just the evidence given to them. It's hard. I'm sure the jurors on the trial were and are beating themselves up for whatever reasons they were not able convict her.
