Casey Anthony was found not guilty Tuesday of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, by a jury in Florida. The court of public opinion, however, thought the young mother was more than guilty, and moments after the verdict was read, social networks including Twitter and Facebook exploded with references to O.J. Simpson, Johnnie Cochran, and how upset CNN's Nancy Grace was going to be.

Issues revolving around the nationally televised trial emerged online. People questioned how much "reasonable doubt" should be factored into decisions. And of course many speculated on Anthony's future as an author, reality-television participant and Lifetime movie subject.

"This verdict is Exhibit C in the case against televised trials," wrote one tweeter.

"The judicial system is based on the concept that is better to free the guilty than to condemn the innocent," wrote another.

But the general consensus of those reacting on social media could be summed up with this from Marky Hladish, who disagreed with the jury. "Ok. After minutes of investigation using the facts as presented by Wikipedia, I'm ready to posit that Casey Anthony got away with murder," he tweeted.

I think you misunderstood what she was saying. *NM* - 06/07/2011 12:21:30 AM 374 Views

I agree, but what if the accused was of a different race/ethnicity? - 06/07/2011 02:55:22 PM 913 Views
oh I'm sure we'd hear about how racist the media is - 06/07/2011 04:22:08 PM 1047 Views

I agree. - 06/07/2011 04:38:46 AM 1012 Views
VERY wrong place. . *NM* - 06/07/2011 02:52:21 PM 491 Views
Nope. I didn't think she was guilty of 1st degree murder. Nobody is to blame but the prosecutors... - 06/07/2011 04:37:39 AM 996 Views
she did claim the death was an accident and she was found not guilty of manslaughter as well *NM* - 06/07/2011 12:56:18 PM 489 Views
I thuught they would have had to charge her with that in order to convict her of it? - 07/07/2011 02:37:53 AM 736 Views
They did charge her with it - 07/07/2011 02:48:51 PM 955 Views
Yes, I didn't realize that was once of the charges. *NM* - 08/07/2011 03:32:11 AM 336 Views
The case should never have gone to trial - 06/07/2011 07:28:44 AM 988 Views
I don't think they proved murder - 06/07/2011 03:30:04 PM 828 Views
It's sad that so many people care so much about this case. - 06/07/2011 04:40:50 PM 792 Views
