Casey Anthony- Guilty or Not?

I know this is about the ten thousandth blog about the trial of the century(in my opinion), the Casey Anthony Trial.  But I find myself, like millions of others, so fascinated by this trial i just have to follow it everyday. Web, Television, Radio. Anyway I can get it into my system, I do. This is my drug...
So many are intriguid by this case because it hits on one of the ultimate taboos: a mother killing her own child. Now this may not hit some of the more, how do I say, societal issues that the O.J Simpson Trial did. Simpson's trial highlighted how both race and fame work in the criminal justice system.
Nevertheless, personally being a mother, the Casey Anthony Trial hits home for me.
Now for the question everyone is asking- Guilty or not guilty?

Casey Anthony waited 31 days until even mentioning that Caylee was missing. During the time, she had been partying, getting tattoos, and drinking. She allegedly had no idea what had happened to Caylee right up until the 11th hour into the trial. George Anthony(Casey's father), the meter reader that found the body, Lee Anthony(Casey's brother), and even the Orange County PD, allegedly had something to do with Caylee's "disposal".  Everyone except the oly person who held the responsibility for this child, was not to be blamed, according to the Defense.
I think you know where I am going with this..

In the court of responsibility and morals, Casey Anthony is guilty. In the court of honesty, values, and motherhood, she is guilty. In the court of Melonie, Casey Anthony is guilty.
But in the court of law?  Regardless of the verdict, we will never know what happened to this child. So where is the justice?
One person knows. Even if Casey was to ever tell the truth, how would we know? She has told numerous lies throughout the 3+ years her child has been missing. She clearly has extreme mental disorders including
narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and sociopathy.
If found guilty of Murder 1, I am calling that she will not get the Death Penalty. Jurors tend to not approve of sending young, pretty women to the death chamber. Historically it rarely ever happens.
People sometimes like to give young mothers a "free pass" for their
wrong doings because of what they are.
Casey is like what 23? I didn't know that was considered a young mother to begin with and even if so, maybe she shouldn't have had the child if this was to be her fate.

So it disturbs me that someone with these qualities might be free again one of these days. People with these disorders are smart, not only that, the fact that she has that narcissistic trait, makes her have lack of care for anyone else but Casey.
People like casey dont just "grow up" and grow out of their ways. In fact, they get better at the manipulation, deception, and lack of care.

Scary stuff no?
Let me hear your thoughts..
Anything about the case or just parenting in general would be great. Share your personal experiences with me

Peace & Love
