-A 2 year old goes missing around mid-June, 2008. The child, Caylee lives with her mother, Casey, who lives with her mother Cindy (and her father, forget his name).
-After a month of "Idunno" answers from Casey on where the child has gotten to, the grandmother (Cindy) call local police.
-Police question the mother (Casey). Her story is that the child is with a babysitter who took off about a month ago. She doesn't want police involvement.
-Police find and impound Casey's car. When they open the trunk, a rotting smell of human decompisition wafts out (defense later stipulates this was due to garbage, not decomposition).
-Over the next couple of months, Casey changes her story about a dozen different times. All scenarios still lead her back to not wanting police involvement.
-The police finally arrest her and charge her.
-The 'slut thing'... about 6 months after being incarcerated, photos emerge of the mother, now labelled "Tot-Mom" by the media, whooping it up at party after party with her friends in the all-critical one-month between the disappearance and first police contact.

I happen to agree that the prosecution proved nothing, except perhaps for my staunchly held belief in the sheer incompetence of government. Much as with O.J., the right verdict was returned. I honestly believe that Casey Anthony killed her kid and danced it up afterwards, but it doesn't matter. What was proven was simply that Ms. Anthony is a depraved human being with no soul, which last time I checked, is not a crime. If she throws a "I did it and got away with it" party and invites Charlie Sheen to serve as the M.C., that's technically no crime.


But she still got away with it, plain and simple.
