Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now tagless for your comfort.
There wasn't enough hard evidence to convict Anthony--but people have been convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence before. I still think she did it.
I'm sick thinking of how she'll profit from her notoriety. Ugh.

Always curious about how people get acquitted or convicted. "Innocent until proven guilty" in practice seems to turn into "Guilty until proven innocent" or even "guilty even when there is overwhelming evidence for innocent". But if the defense attorney is pricey enough then "innocent until proven guilty" really does become the standard.

They did have a number of other lesser charges that she wasn't convicted on either, so I have to think the prosecution's case was really seriously weak.

Yes, class and especially race figure into this situation quite significantly.

The jury didn't have an option of negligent homicide. They had 1st and 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, and aggravated child abuse, I think. I only know this because I happened to be walking by one of the TVs in the hallway when the verdict was being announced.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse, what is your question? Did you want to know whether I made that top comment? Because I totally did.
