We often say our criminal justice system is not perfect but it is better than any other system. When a jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of murdering her daughter many question not only that verdict but trial by jury itself. Some are calling it the worst verdict since the O. J. Simpson trial. That verdict had a race component that this did not have.
Perhaps we should require jurors to give written reasons why they voted guilty or not guilty. Some questions the Anthony jurors might be asked are -- if Casey didn't kill her daughter Caylee, who did and who dumped her body in the swamp? Why was Casey celebrating, calling herself happy and getting a tattoo declaring her life now being so good while telling lie after lie about where Caylee was?
That old saying is true -- don't bet on what a jury will do or who a woman will marry.
