At first the Casey Anthony matter seem to be nothing more than one of those sordid "incidents" that gain the attention of the media for a while and then are quickly forgotten. However, Anthony's recent acquittal for allegedly killing her two year old daughter seems to have sparked a great deal of public outrage. Apparently, many people were convinced that Anthony was guilty.
The central problem with the prosecution's case is that they could not prove how Caylee Anthony really died. And if you can't prove how soembody died, how can you be sure that in fact they were murdered? In the end, all the prosecution had was a story, a screenplay really, backed up by nothing more than dubious speculation. In the end, you can't assign guilt on anything other than the facts. The media however, seems to think that the mere possibility of guilt constitutes proof, and have brainwashed much of the public into thinking so.
As to what constitutes justice is a difficult matter. However, we should not condemn a person unless we can be really certain that they committed a crime. If on the other hand all you want is to find a scapegoat, then you lose the right to speak about "justice."
