Leave Casey Anthony Alone

It really saddens me that people who claim to be constitution supporting Americans believe that if their opinion differs from a jury they are free to harass, threaten, and denigrate a person who was found not guilty by a jury of her peers. I don't agree with the verdict but I DO respect the process and the verdict of her peers. My disagreement does not entitle me to persecute this person or the jury through any means including social bullying on Facebook, or Twitter or anywhere else.

If you are a constitution supporting American then you must respect the system that tells us we are all innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The system is not perfect but it is certainly better than Mexico where you are guilty until proven innocent.

Consider this, would you want the Attorney General Eric Holder to function under a system that  says we are guilty until proven innocent? Would you want police to act with illegal immigrants under a guilty first system?

I suspect that both progressive liberals and conservatives would all find something horribly wrong with that type of system.

So unless you have EVIDENCE of another crime committed by Casey Anthony then you must let her live her life as an innocent American.
