There were a lot of problems with this case.

The prosecutor could never directly link the murder to her. That was the biggest thing. We had the lies, we had the month without reporting, all suspicious behavior, but we didn't have any evidence that had her killing her daughter.

The defense used the confuse them with everything theory. The jury got mesmorized by a lot of theories, including the non existant nanny, the whose the father crap, the accusations of child abuse and insest against Casey's father, Casey's mother being caught in a lie on the stand.

We had the higher then average burden of proof due to the death penalty potential of the case.

We had a jury that was burned out by the end which explains not only the quick verdict, but they didn't request testimony read back or any of the evidence. It sounds like they went into the room voted got hung up on resonable doubt, ordered some chinese and called it a day.

Personally, I have no doubt that Casey Anthony is a monster and potentially a psychopath. But I can't prove that she killed her kid.
