As a non-attorney, I don't know what is child abuse as defined by law in Florida....

As the Florida AG said: "this was a dry bones case, and they are tough to prove".

In many ways this was the opposite of the OJ case. That case had much more valid scientific evidence due to the blood etc.. The problem there was a good case by the defense which had their own contradictory science.

Wow.. If the Prosecution now admits it was a tough case to prove, why the heck did they charge it as a death penalty case? NO ONE should be in favor of pursuing the death penalty in cases where it is tough to prove what happened or who did it. NEVER!! WE do not want to kill innocent people.
AND THAT IS WHY this jury found her not guilty.. the Prosecution FORCED Them to say if they convicted her, they could recommend the death penalty... and no reasonable person could sleep at night putting her to death on this crappy case.
This is why there have been HUNDREDS of people PROVEN INNOCENT to have been falsely convicted of MURDER and other serious crimes.. some facing the death penalty. Go to the Innocence project if you think I am kidding.

In the OJ case, the problem was that the police screwed up the investigation and contaminated the evidence 6 ways from Sunday. In this case there was very little evidence, no investigation until the child had been dead for months, and what evidence there was nobody knew what to believe about it.

There was enough for at least a manslaughter conviction, if you were too squeamish for Murder 1. At least two FBI experts testified that there was indeed chloroform in the trunk of Casey's car. In addition, found in the trunk of the car was a hair that FBI experts say could only have come from a decomposing body and matched the hairs found with the skull of Caylee Marie Anthony in the swamp near the Anthony home. DNA analysis of the hair from the trunk showed that the hair could only have come from an Anthony family maternal source. Cindy Anthony, Cindy's mother and Casey Anthony all have treated hair and this 9 inch long hair was untreated. Jeff's hair was much too short to have supplied this hair. This proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Caylee Marie Anthony's body was decomposing in the trunk of her mother's car.

Taped phone calls from Casey to her parents while she was in prison prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew nothing about the fate of their beloved granddaughter and were begging Casey to cooperate with the police. Casey's later alibi stories of "accidental death" proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she indeed knew what happened and when.

All that should prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she had culpability in the death of her daughter, and a manslaughter conviction coupled with aggravated child abuse should have easily been decided by any reasonable thinking jury.
