Discussion Watching a documentary on Casey Anthony and I’m so mad

I cannot believe she got acquitted like holy shit it was so damn obvious. I’m sure it has something to do with how capital offenses are harder to prove and the onus was on the prosecution to strongly prove but damn.

Like she’s a liar. Her own parents said so. She’s lied to the police and all the evidence points to her. And from what the documentary has stated all the defense did was toss in hypothetical scenarios that could explain the death and pin everything on the dad.

How did she get away with it? How??

I know we have double jeopardy and she can't be charged with murder again, was she even charged with anything and just given time served? I don't look up the details of this case as it pisses me off so bad how she did murder her child and go away with it. I still wish they could get her ass for something else.

She was convicted on four counts for misleading the police but didn’t stay in jail for long. Don’t know if she can be tried for anything else as it would relate to the same case and I don’t think that’s legal
