PREFACE: I did not watch the trial because TV news is truncated, sensationalized crap. However, there has been a lot of Monday morning QB'ing over this trial and near as I can surmise the prosecutors could not prove murder much less show the accused was responsible. As much as anyone wants to see "justice" done the process is what it is for a reason and by all appearances the jury and both sets of counsel acted within their appointed roles honestly and fairly.
That being said let it be noted that liberals can leave no event, no matter how tragic and emotional, undisturbed when it can be better used to rationalize their hatred for everyone else not like them.
To wit:

Casey anthony is another attack on Women.
She gained notoriety by wanting to party more than parent. Or so went the prosecutors theory. We wanted to see her suffer, as testament to womens proper role as mommy. WE rail against all those that have coddled her by not killing her. She must have done a lot of bad stuff, and even if she didnt DO THIS literally, her poor attitude, and parenting skills should be enough. Now, we must reform our justice system, to guarantee a conviction. Anything less robs Kaylee of JUSTICE. Someone must pay for the killing, anyone.
This likely stems from the thrust to have courts that can guarantee convictions of guantanamo Muslims. We have fallen so far from the ideals I was taught in school. Now, we endeavor to imprison many, to ensure that none slip away from revenge.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1424789FFS! This idiot is essentially saying that society, by way of the prosecutor, would have over-looked evidence implicating some other suspect or exculpatory evidence.
No effort is made to assume to simplist solution: the prosecutor was trying to paint the portrait of someone indifferent to the life or death of her own child.
The corollary, of course, is: women should be allowed to abandon children at whim in order to rock-and-roll all day and party every night and society has no right to say, "Go care for your children, please. And try to show a modicum of concern if they are missing from your care."
How gauche and puritanical.
So much for, "Do it for the children."
I heard commenters and counter-commenters on the radio claim this was/was not akin to the travesty of the OJ verdict. Methinks a more appropriate analogy would be the Duke lacrosse players but instead of the false accusations (something DID happen by virtue of the fact of a child's death and the subsequent moving of the body) we have a liberal wanting to distract from the fact its faction engaged in politically-motivated public lynchings by now claiming the mantle of victimhood for itself.
To their credit, many DU'ers piled into the thread in the brief time I've been writing to poo-poo this crap.

8. Listen to the women talk about it around town.
They are soaking up the mainstream medias conjectures.
Whether you see it or not, this is the BAD MOMMY case.

11. Probably because she was a bad mommy.
Apparently this idiot has emotional baggage:

14. My white grandfather was murdered by a gang hazing.
To punish a crossing guard that told police about the girl who reported one of the gang members raping her. They chose the first white person they saw, so as not to go down for premeditated murder. My grandmother, who witnessed the whole thing, needed a gauntlet of marshalls to protect her from the families and friends of the gang members on trial.
THERE WAS NO COVERAGE OF THIS, even though it was the first time in history that someone indicted for second degree murder was let off on their own recognizance. This case is springer, all the way.
Somewhere, deep inside, is a racist tirade scratching to get out but I don't see the connection as there are over a dozen-thousand murders in the US every year but only a select few make the news.
