Moms Talk: Casey Anthony

A nation is stunned as we collectively wonder -- did our legal system fail?

As the verdict of "not guilty" was announced yesterday in the case of Casey Anthony, who was on trial for the death of her child, Caylee, many of us were shocked that while there was no concrete evidence that the mother killed the child, the limited evidence there was seemed to point to guilt. 

Through much debate in the hours that followed, there were those standing strong that the legal system worked as it was intended, and those who felt the evidence proved that Anthony should have been kept off the streets for decades to come. 

What do you think? Do you agree with the verdict?
