This morning, Casey Anthony was given four years for lying to police. She was sent back to jail, but her lawyers are discussing time served with the judge. The actual time she will spend in jail should be minimal as she has already served almost 3 years of the 4 year sentence.
In the meantime, HLN continues to cover the crowd reaction outside the courtroom. People are upset. They are upset that she may be getting out of jail soon. They are upset that she got away with murder. Watching the crowd and protestors is truley sad. None of these people understand the law. The case has been tried in the media for the past 3 years. All they know is that she guilty and she has lied. She is also a whore and not a very good mother. She is a cold killer and shows no remorse for what she has done. That being said, she is also innocent and needs to be released from prison immediately. She has been found not guilty by 12 people who sat through the trial and heard the facts. The media is using words like "shocked" to describe the outcome. They try to tell the public that there was plenty of evidence and she should be excuted for her crimes. To the media and protestors who do not believe there was reasonable doubt in this case, I say this. How did Caylee Anthony die? If you can not prove that how can you prove that she killed her child?
Should you be executed for lying? If lying was an crime that warranted the death penalty, Congress would seek to exist. In a court of law, we have to rely on facts, not emotions. Nancy Grace from HLN has put a lot of emotion into this story for years. I actually followed her from time to time. I believe Casey is guilty. However, since I don't know how Caylee died it is impossible to convict.
