Those calling for Casey Anthony's head are worse than her!

Well she has been found innocent of the charges brought against her. I don't know much about this case but the little I have gleaned reminds me of the Azaria Chamberlain case here in Australia. Total media assassination, the sheeple baaing for blood etc. The main difference of course a pregnant Lindy Chamberlain was sentenced to life imprisonment (subsequently released on the finding of new evidence) even so many people still believe (in light of the almost undeniable evidence that a dingo ate her child) she murdered Azaria.

As I said at the start I now very little of the Anthony case, but I would caution against believing unsubstantiated evidence in a world ruled by corruption, greed, and a parasitic, manipulative media.

What I don't understand is why all the hysteria for this particular case. Of course it's terrible when a child is killed, but why is this one worse than all the others that happen every year and go unreported by the media? Why aren't people protesting and putting their energy into addressing why America has one of the highest rates of children being murdered in the developed world?

^who knows, maybe the sort of woman who is so distraught by the death of her child that her brain protects her by putting her into denial. I have no idea how I would handle such a situation. Again though here we have a similarity with the Chamberlain case, the media vilified her for not crying, not wearing 'appropriate' mourning attire. We all behave differently in stressful situations, I sincerely hope you never find out how you will react in one such as hers.

One of the jurors the defense pulled really hard to keep her in, agrees with your sentiments OP.

Juror 1: THE NURSE
The married white woman, 65, has two grown children. A retired nurse and volunteer counselor, she pays close attention to the proceedings. She also supports the death penalty. "I value life," she said during jury selection, "but I also value the criminal justice system."

Juror 2: THE FAMILY MAN
During jury selection, this thirtysomething, married African-American man told attorneys that his mom was a single mother "like Casey." An IT worker, he has a 9-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. Although he opposes the death penalty, he says he had some doubts of Anthony's innocence. "My impression was that, yes, I thought she did it," he said last month. "But if I had to return a verdict right now, I would say not guilty."

Juror 3: THE STUDENT
A 32-year-old single white woman, she is working on her nursing degree. She often sits motionlessly and watches the trial with wide eyes. Soft-spoken and demure, she admits she knew little about the case before being selected for the jury. "I could be fair," she told attorneys. "I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't be."

Juror 4: THE CHURCH LADY
The never-married African-American woman is in her late 40s and lives alone. Deeply religious, she did not want to be selected, saying, "I don't like to judge people." Anthony's defense fought to keep her on the jury, where she shook her head as she heard about Anthony's repeated lies.


Juror 5: THE MOTHER
With long gray hair and glasses, the retired nurse's aide, 57, often has a frown on her face as she watches the trial. A mother of three children, she has an 11th-grade education and is the only juror with a criminal record: a DUI arrest from 1998. When asked whether she could vote for the death penalty, she was ambivalent. "I guess I believe in the death penalty," she said. "I'd have to know a lot of facts before I really considered it."

Juror 6: THE SALESMAN
The 33-year-old married white man has two children, ages 6 and 22 months. He has a business degree and sells restaurant equipment. Throughout the proceedings, he has had trouble staying awake during the dry scientific testimony.

Juror 7: THE SECRETARY
The 41-year-old divorced secretary has always been around the law. Her father was an attorney, and she now works in juvenile justice welfare. During jury selection, she explained that she could give the death penalty if necessary. "It would be, gosh, a solemn decision," she said nervously, "but it is an option under the law."

Juror 8: THE POLICEMAN'S DAUGHTER
The defense was worried about this married customer service rep, 55, who has two sons approximately Casey Anthony's age. Her father was a police officer, and she has no problem with the death penalty. "If I know all the facts," she said, "I have no problem voting for the death penalty."

Juror 9: THE HANDYMAN
At 53, this single former logger sits close to the witnesses; he never takes his eyes off the courtroom proceedings. A native of Indiana, the thin, balding man does odd jobs to supplement his income as a caregiver for a stroke patient. "I don't think we've heard the whole story," he told the court. "I hold no bias."

Juror 10: THE BACHELOR
Tall and broad-shouldered, the 57-year-old has never been married and has no children. He works for a mobile phone company and spends a lot of time reading. When asked about the case, he admitted, "I don't know any details, but I believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty."

Juror 11: THE GYM TEACHER
The 33-year-old single white man works as a high school gym teacher. Tall and handsome, he has gotten the nickname of "Johnny Depp" from some of the courthouse staff. He often leans forward during the shocking testimony. "Everyone I work with think she's guilty," he said in jury selection," but I can keep my mind open."

Juror 12: THE COOK
The sixty-ish white woman has two children and one young grandchild. Working part time as a cook at a Publix supermarket, she often looks to the female prosecutor for reaction from the testimony. A fan of legal dramas, she says, "I have no problem deciding on the death penalty."

until we abandon revenge we will never see peace.
