To quote a portion of the above post:
The philosophical question is how
much is the victim responsible and is further punishment called for or should
there be some empathy and treatment. As the famous psychiatrist said
when interviewed on TV, she may actually be the victim??

Well, the second "victim" in this case, assuming that Casey WAS abused, is responsible, or seemingly so at this point. I'm not sure that being a psycopath will keep her from being punished. She more than likely, if found guilty of "something", will spend the rest of her life in prison. I would not feel comfortable knowing that she is out in society, should she be aquitted. She has no conscience and isn't capable of living by the same rules that we do. She IS sick and probably should live out her years in a mental hospital. This is such a sad case in that there may well be two victims here. No human being would ever wish to end up like Casey Anthony. There is no doubt in my mind that a deficiency of some sort, or severe trauma caused her to develop into an empty shell, a true sociopath who is not capable of feeling or caring about her fellow human beings.
