I think the problem with the Anthony case was that the evidence was circumstancial, not direct or physical. There was no physical evidence, that I am aware of, that tied the mother to the death of the daughter. Based on the circumstancial evidence, it is logical to believe that Anthony killed her daughter, but that's not strong enough to convict in an American court. I have many opinions about American political motives that I can't prove either, even if circumstancial evidence supports my belief. I call them my "pet unproveable theories."

I agree with you. Actually, when I finished reading the famous Simpson case, I started to know the whole law principal in the U.S better. They would rather let go a guilty man than imprison an innocent one. It makes sense.
