Laws change all the time and will continue to, to conform to today's standards.
Maybe if the media really wants justice for a little girl they wont sensationalize cases and cause manic panic frenzy. Kudos to the Judge.
Is the media to blame for withholding justice for a murder victim? To claim that the public came to each of his or her conclusion/opinion of who was guilty of murdering Caylee based solely on the fact this case was sensationalized infers that each individual who has followed this case, read the abundant depositions, LE interviews and related material lacked the ability to form their own personal opinion.
As for the "manic panic frenzy" perhaps the sole blame should rest on the Anthony family, Baez, DC, JH and the rest of the DT. It was all of their deliberate, purposeful acts of obstruction, witness tampering, perjury, hindering a murder investigation, financial opportunities off of a murdered child and their rude and threating treatment of kind, sincere and generous persons who gave of themselves to search for a child who was missing.
As for Judge Perry, IMO, bears some responsibility in the verdict. JP allowed Baez to make a mockery of his court and our judicial system, gave jury instructions for deliberation that were vague, confusing and non-specific, and has made decisions that have some questioning his legal authority to make such.
IMO, the ONLY persons who deserve any form of Kudos are the detectives, officers, BS, MN and the prosecutors who attempted to seek justice that a three year old little girl deserved.
