The Buckingham

After 3 years of waiting and wondering if a young mother, Casey Anthony, would be charged with the killing and murder of her then 3 year old daughter, Caylee Anthony, everything has finally come to a surprising conclusion. Casey Anthony was found not guilty in the murder of her daughter. When the verdict was read, there was a gasping sound that could be heard outside of the courtroom and around the world. Many were disappointed in the verdict; many even cried. It just seemed to be unjust that Anthony would be let go, free of just punishment when all the evidence pointed to her doing the crime. Any mother would agree, that no mother in their right mind would wait 30 days to report that their child has gone missing. Anthony also lied on numerous occasions in court, mixing up her stories and placing the blame of everyone but herself.
What we can all learn from this and about our judicial system is that our judicial system sticks to the rules, “Its not what you know, its what you can prove in court” When you are found “not guilty” it doesn’t mean that the person is innocent, it means that there is reasonable doubt and that the prosecution did not do their job in proving guilt. We can not blame our judicial system for not doing their job, because they did. The angle the prosecution took was not the best, which resulted in their loss. Although Anthony will most likely walk a free woman even after being charged with perjury ( due to spending 3 years in jail already awaiting trial), this woman will never be free in society due to the impact that this story has had on millions around the world.
