Do you think Casey Anthony was innocent too or the case shouldn’t have even been brought to trial?
They let her walk because all of the evidence was purely circumstantial and there were no witnesses when it happened.
The only witness in this case was a girl who couldn’t make out the suspect except for clothing. Other than that, all of the evidence right now is circumstantial.

Circumstantial evidence IS evidence… many cases have been convicted on mostly circumstantial evidence… go read about Chandler Halderson and his case and how he murdered his parents.
The key phrase the defense loves to point to is “reasonable doubt”… they love to focus on the doubt part but not on the reasonable part. In a case like this there will be a mountain of circumstantial evidence and questions that the defense won’t be able to adequately answer… sure they can point and say there isn’t a murder weapon or whatever… but anyone who isn’t sub 80iq wouldn’t consider it reasonable to doubt he wasn’t involved in the victims murders.

That was a lot different. In this case, they have evidence at the scene with his DNA on it, under a victim...
Also, the circumstantial evidence in this case, is WAY more than in Casey Anthony. Plus, knowing exactly when this happen, puts a lot more weight on the circumstantial evidence. No one would ever believe all those coincidences happened at 3:00am...

If I recall correctly, wasn’t this a prosecution issue? They tried her on the murder charges they couldn’t prove, but they probably could have gotten her for lesser charges had they gone that route. Or am I misremembering?
