Surprise! I'm going to talk about something besides how crappy my life is!

Casey Anthony is not guilty, so says the jury.

And, wow, are people pissed. There's a baby that's never coming back, and you know what, none of us are ever going to know what happened to her. It doesn't even matter, does it? Because knowing isn't going to change the outcome.

Here's the thing...in America, you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And if you or me was ever arrested for a crime we didn't commit, you can rest assured we would be banking on that very defense. Was there a ton of circumstancial evidence? Yes. Do I think she knows what happened? Yes. Do I think she had something to do with it? Yes. Does any of what we know prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that she did it? No.

She's guilty of being a liar. She's guilty of being a rotten mother. She's guilty of neglect, based on the fact that that little girl was gone for a month before she even admitted it, and even then it wasn't her that reported her missing.

I don't know how I feel about the whole thing. I do think that based on the facts and the evidence the jury did the right thing.
