ITA. There was no common sense in that jury room. The child climbed into the pool by herself, drowned, was pulled out by George Anthony, was handed off to Casey Anthony and then mysteriously ended up in the swampy woods in trash bags with duct tape over her mouth. Makes sense to me - not. Sad that the jury couldn't connect the dots. Sad that she'll probably sell book/movie rights, do a reality show and become a millionaire celebutante. I do believe in karma, though...and her day will come.
The bigger issue for me is our judicial system as a whole. I must have heard 20 times today that this verdict is proof that "our judicial system works." Am I the only one who disagrees? To be judged by a jury of one's peers doesn't seem to work so well any more - we have OJ, Robert Blake, Casey Anthony going free while the Innocence Project works so hard to free the wrongly convicted.
