Agreed...

I assumed, obviously incorrectly, that when the case involves a dead child - duct taped and in a car trunk no less - that an American jury would hold "someone" accountable, and that someone seemed to me to be Casey Anthony. Common sense tells me that in such a case the defense starts at a deficit, and even though jurors are instructed and required even to initiate the trial otherwise, they're only human. So I concur, this speaks to a prosecution lacking in its' presentation.

Very telling to me was when the verdict was read. Amidst the defense team's hugging and high fives the parents of Casey Anthony summarily left the court room, clearly displeased. Their daughter just dodged the potential for lethal injection, and they wanted no part in the celebration. Does that not strike anyone?

What Anthony clearly IS guilty of, beyond a reasonable doubt, is of being an atrocious mother. The woman obviously wanted no part in the blessing that is a child. And much like OJ I predict that her troubles with the law will not end here.

In the end, even if one were to believe in the "accidental" death theory, duct tape does not get placed on a child's mouth, nor chloroform in entered into her system, on "accident." So I can only assume the just verdict will one day be read out to Ms. Anthony by the ultimate foreman, St. Peter. And from that sentence their is no parole.
