Evidently you believe that a jury of 12 irrational people got together to find her not guilty.
I don't understand why people who insinuate that they themselves are rational cannot look at the evidence is circumstantial evidence and see that it was flawed. If you go to the emotional evidence the innuendo that Casey is a slut evidence I'm sure that you would find that reason, the execut, her.
I don't know what happened. You don't know what happened. I am sure that Casey Anthony is guilty of something but I don't know what that is. Do you?
A child has died everybody feels that someone must pay. But if the true story is that she drowned. Would that satisfy you? I doubt it. Some people are not going to be satisfied by anything other than execution because she allegedly threw the child away in a dump.
Take all of the emotion out and only look at the facts as presented and rebutted. Would you be convinced?

CMANN, I think you missed my point. First, the jury did NOT find her innocent - they found her "not guilty". If you recall the chart effectively used in the closing statement by the defense, you can have a very high feeling of guilt for the defendant and still vote "not guilty".
Secondly, my quibble is with the defense and not necessarily with the jury. You and I both agree that she was "guilty of something". For the defense to embrace and cry with a person who,
at the very least, treated her dead child like yesterday's garbage, whose response to the death of her child was to party like a terrific burden had been lifted from her is beyond the pale.
To answer your direct question, no I would not have a problem if the prosecution celebrated just as I have no problem with the defense celebrating - as long as the celebration was one solely based on winning a hard earned case. They crossed the line, in my opinion, when they shed tears of joy with Casey.
