Proving ones innocents is to prove that a thing did not happen. We all know that one cannot prove a negative. Thus the presumption of innocents UNTIL proven guilty.
The Constitution says in the Fifth Amendment, "no one may be placed in double jeopardy for crime for which he has already been tried and found innocent." By your standard you would be telling us that since this person was found not guilty because the government could not prove the case then she should be tried again.
I'm sorry, the child died. Very sorry. I'm very sorry if Casey got away with something. I am not, however sorry that our system of justice worked the way it was supposed to. There are other more efficient systems of law. Would you rather that we had one of those?

No.
I know in MY heart she is not innocent, because I have lived on this earth more than seven decades...and have seen a lot of ducks walking...
I know in my heart she is not innocent of her daughter's death.
I also know that she will do something else horribly wrong and the justice system will catch up with her.
I also know that a lot of OTHER people also see that she is not being punished as she should be.
This is my opinion.
She walked free. She IS guilty. That is MY opinion.
In the old days, being tried by a jury of your peers was more fair. NOW the general public, the jury pool, have this amazing ability to know what is happening all over the world, most of it, MOST of it, fairly reported to us by telecommunication of every kind. Now we are forced to choose a jury who are a bunch of people who are NOT aware of the happenings of the world in the same way as MOST of us,. We then choose people who choose not to be interested in life around them, and/or do not pay attention to the things that are happening. and this diminishes their ability to judge fairly,and intelligently, in my opinion.
Just twenty years ago I would not think any differently about a person who did not choose to use a computer. Now I think about how uninformed they are.
My opinion. ONLY mine.
