COMING TO GRIPS WITH THE CASEY ANTHONY VERDICT

So we are left with a situation reminiscent of Professor Dershowitz's infamous accomplishment, the acquittal of O.J. Simpson. But unlike in the Simpson case, in which abundant evidence was lawyered away before a blinkered jury, an attentive and open-minded jury waited for the evidence against Casey Anthony that was never presented. They were true to their oath and to the law when they voted to acquit. But it still feels rotten.

Anyone with a scrap of sense knows Casey Anthony killed Caylee just as he knows O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. We may not like the jury's decision, we just have to live with it. Maybe she'll pull a robbery in Las Vegas someday.
