I must agree with everything you have to say here, and more. Not only did everyone think she was guilty just because the media said so, but also because they were just following the pack.

I'm going to add-on to that saying: If you're going to complain about how the court system works, do you think you could do better? They did their jobs, like the OP said.
If you look at any case that doesn't have enough evidence to put the accused away, that person probably went free. (Unless, of course, you're looking at an early 1900's case where a black man was the accused).

But I'm going to go off on a rant about something else. While that case was going on, and making millions of American mommies go nuts, we all probably saw that cute little group on Facebook about "praying for Caylee Anthony," or whatever.
I'm going to be Debbie-Downer here and say: Why does she get prayers? I don't see any other little girls that get prayers through a social-networking site where everyone comes together and talks about how horrible their mommy is.
I think every little girl and boy in the world might need prayers (no matter what religion you practice) every once in awhile. Starving children in Africa, little girls being killed or sold in China because families can't have more than one kid. There are girls in other third-world countries who have arranged marriages at ages 12 and 13, to 50 year-olds, are forced to be sex-slaves and have that man's babies, who can't make a name for themselves because it's illegal.
Why don't they get groups?

Why is Caylee Anthony such a special case? Whether you want to believe it or not, it happens every day.

So honor Caylee Anthony. Pray for her, send her positive energy, or hope that she reincarnates into a better home. Whatever it is you do. It only makes yourself feel better, really.
But also honor the rest of the kids who are/were worse off.


Stop letting the media brainwash you.
