'The world is an imperfect place'

A reader (and lawyer) on The Daily Beast: "All of the armchair jurors complaining about the Casey Anthony verdict need to consider the obvious. Casey Anthony was not rich and famous, and she didn't have a high-powered team of slick lawyers with vast resources to befuddle the jury. Indeed, by most accounts, her lead attorney was, at best, mediocre. Nevertheless, a jury of her peers - who actually heard the evidence - unanimously concluded that the government failed to prove her guilt. Maybe the case against her just wasn't very good. It doesn't mean she didn't do it, but the world is an imperfect place."
