I was a bit shocked to hear that she as acquitted. The prosecution made some major mistakes (reminded me of OJ) and the defense made some decent points. I don't think it was about the defense being strong so much as the prosecution putting on an incomplete case.

One point the defense hammered on was the lack of a cause of death. The prosecution played into that and offered alternative theories when they should have dismissed that argument and focused on the fact that Caylee was dead and it didn't matter how except that it was at the hand of another (homicide) and that it was Casey who did it. That inconsistency and "shotgun" approach doesn't work for the prosecution. The defense often takes a "shotgun" approach but they also don't carry the burden of proof.

It is very sad for I believe Casey Anthony killed her daughter or at least had a major hand in doing it if she had suckered a guy into helping her.
