It took O. J. Simpson’s jury four hours to reach a verdict in his 1995 double murder case in Los Angeles: Not guilty.

It took the Casey Anthony jury 10 hours to find her NOT guilty to murder one…and all counts, except to lying to a law enforcement officer.

Flanked by her lawyers, Anthony wiped away tears as she stood between two lawyers to hear the verdict, then embraced her lawyer. Her lawyers held her hands and looked relieved and upbeat. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton and Linda Burdick looked shocked and crushed, as the judge thanked the jury and advised they had no obligation to speak to the press. Read the rest of this entry »

Editor’s note:

High profile and highly respected, Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County Medical Examiner, has faced intense scrutiny in court and under a media microscope for the autopsy he did on Anna Nicole Smith. In dissecting the late Playboy centerfold’s cause of death, he had more to work with than Caylee Anthony experts; the body was fresh and witnesses provided information that helped rule his observations in or out.

Unfortunately, the trial of Casey Anthony has conjured a stampede of “Zebras,” with both prosecution and defense forensic experts invoking the striped animals to buttress their positions. Those “Zebras” not only weakened their conclusions, but had to confuse the jury. To help them reach a decision and see justice done in the murder of two year old Caylee Anthony, Zebras have to be rounded up and separated from the horses. Read the rest of this entry »
