Karma is Not Fickle

So the unpopular verdic of NOT GUILTY was found today in the Casey Anthony case.  While listening I really thought it would be GUILTY... and was shocked that it wasn't on at least one felony account.  I think it is sad that if she did commit these crimes or have knowledge of it that she was not convicted.  I know our court system isn't perfect, but we put into place a system with a judge and a jury of our peers so that we can give everyone a fair trail.  Yet when the outcome isn't what we as a society thinks it should be we start in on opinons and on cursing the jurors or calling them stupid.  Some people are even hoping her life is horrible!  Who are these people?  It is frustrating to me really becauses no one knows for sure what happened. 

Pushing this case aside.. whatever happened to once you served your time you got to start over?  So many people can't find jobs after prison and are practically forced back into a life a crime just to survive.  And then there are the ones like Casey where once you are found not guilty, you are still considered guilty and treated as an outcast.  We would like to think our society is civilized, but it takes me back to the witch hunt days where one person declared another a witch and the entire town would rally around to burn them with little else but a mock trial.  People are cruel and unforgiving.  A court room is for Justice not revenge. 

Karma is not fickle...
