Recently in the US, other Casey Anthony was acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee, even though she didn't report the little girl's disappearance for over a month, and circumstantial evidence pointed to other suspicious behaviour.

Now that Casey Anthony has been acquitted, should the general public show mercy by accepting the court decision and leaving her alone?

The general public should show mercy by accepting the court decision to a certain extent, but they should condemn her ignorance of not reporting her daughter's disappearance. As a mother, she has the responsibility to look after her child, and in this case, he daughter when missing and she did not report her. This definitely raised suspicions that the mother had a part to play in her daughter's disappearance. However, since the court decided to acquit Casey of her crime, they must have several solid evidences to do so. There may also be several reasons why Casey did not report her daughter's disappearance. She may be too devastated by her loss of her daughter's that she could not bring herself to even think about her daughter. In this case, when Casey is being accused and publicly condemned, she will feel even worse, like causing her internal wound to worsen. So the public should show mercy.
