Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony but was found guilty of lying to police. The case took 33 days, but the jurors took less then a day to come to their verdict.
I was disbelieving when the National Enquirer claimed this would be the case and skeptical when People repeated it, but obviously they were talking to people better informed than I am. The case was based on circumstantial evidence and the defense did a good job of showing the autopsy was botched.
Still, the press is going to raise a stink and she could easily become a cause celebre like O.J.
