The decision to acquit Casey Anthony of killing her daughter Caylee has shocked and baffled many people, but some experts say it’s just the latest sign of juries’ ignorance, failure to use common sense, and inability—or disinclination—to properly weigh evidence. Lloyd Grove reports.

Just prior to the scene at the restaurant, the controversial Mason also harshly criticized the media for indulging in “media assassination” following the verdict and reprimanded lawyers who gave their biased opinions on television.
“Well I hope this is a lesson to those of you who have indulged in media assassination for three years, bias, prejudice, incompetent talking heads saying what would be and how be,” he angrily shared.

Rascal Flatts’ Gary LeVox Co-Writes Song in Tribute to Caylee Anthony
By: Amy Sciarretto | 5 hours ago

The song ponders all the things Caylee should be doing but will never get the chance to do. It opens with the lyric: “Just a baby barely two-years-old / A story that shouldn’t have to be told / See that little girl with big brown eyes / Stole our hearts and touched our lives,” and then addresses her hopes and dreams with: “She wanted to learn to play guitar / Be a ballerina or movie star / She could have gone so far.”

More Than 150 Sign Petition Against Jose Baez

Snipped:

“I will reserve the decision to proceed with contempt proceedings at the conclusion of this trial,” Judge Perry warned.

Now the trial is over and some people want to see those contempt proceedings happen. They’ve launched an online petition asking Judge Perry to punish Baez. The same way he punished trial watcher, Matthew Bartlett who showed prosecutor Jeff Ashton his middle finger in the courtroom.

States weigh 'Caylee's Law' in verdict aftermath
700,000 sign online petition for felony charges against parents slow to report missing child

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Lawmakers outraged over Casey Anthony's acquittal have responded by proposing so-called Caylee's laws that would allow prosecutors to bring felony charges against parents who do not quickly report missing children.

The new measures were triggered, at least in part, by an online petition that had more than 700,000 signatures Friday. Some questioned whether a new law would do any good because the circumstances of the Anthony case were so rare, but lawmakers in at least a dozen or so states have already floated proposals reacting to the verdict.

"Casey Anthony broke new ground in brazenness," said Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon, who is sponsoring the proposal in his state. "It's very sad that we even need a law like this, but Casey Anthony just proved that we do as unfortunate as that is."

Casey Anthony brand turns toxic as TV shows and talent agencies stay away from the cleared child killer

She was probably already spending the money in her head as she lay in her cell patiently waiting for her imminent release. But it appears Casey Anthony needn't bother because she may not be 'cashing in' on the death of her daughter Caylee as much as was first predicted.

With Grace in the lead studio chair, coverage of Anthony's acquittal on Tuesday brought HLN the largest audience in its 29-year-history.

One of the jurors in the Anthony case, Elizabeth Ford, told ABC News that the 51-year-old Grace was not fit for television.
"I think a lot of things she says fuel the fire and they're based on nothing," Ford said. "I'm obviously against making decisions based on just speculation and opinion."

Why did Casey Anthony case rivet us?
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news...nthony-what-it-means-20110708,0,6862889.story

Our long national soap opera is over. Our daily dose of Anthony family dysfunction has dried up.
Like junkies looking for a fix, we've been cut off. José Baez may be heading to Hollywood and legal immortality. Casey Anthony is leaving jail. The trial of this young century is done. <snipped>
