One has to assume at the moment that the Jury found Casey Anthony - the despicable Florida woman who murdered her almost three year old daughter and then implicated her father in trying to cover up the “accidental” death (not to mention sexual molestation) – innocent due to lack of evidence. At the same time most of the country finds the jury guilty due to lack of intelligence. This is not the only case that screams for the creation of professional juries.
Did the jury come from the same pool of village idiots that acquitted O.J. Simpson sixteen years ago? Simpson, formerly number 32, is now known as inmate #1027820 at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada, not for the murders of Nichole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman mind you, but for robbery and other felony charges he committed in 2007. His extended stay there is obviously the result of a better jury; one not easily enchanted by common defense attorney charades.
Unfortunately, Simpson is in Nevada and behind bars. Fans of Showtime’s Dexter know that it would be a little too difficult for Dexter Morgan to pull that one off. But Casey Anthony lives in Florida, Dexter Morgan’s own playground, and will soon be out of jail and protective custody.
A lot has changed in this country from the days where people would say, “This looks like a job for Superman!” Today’s verdict has a lot of people saying, “This looks like a job for Dexter Morgan!”
