In America, unlike other places, its "Innocent until proven guilty".
Yes, in this case its aggravating as there was tons of circumstantial evidence pointing to her killing her daughter. However, it was just that -circumstantial. The prosecution did a horrible job of throwing everyone at Casey and didn't try to make the case simple, and provide the best evidences. When you do that, your not going to have a fantastic go as the defense can poke holes in the circumstantial evidence.
Is the American justice system flawed? Yes. But I still believe that, overall, it provides good outcomes. Eventually, the court of public opinion will have its day against Casey, and we will find justice somehow, some way.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
