Trial by public opinion?

I have avoided the whole Casey Anthony trial and haven't followed it closely but in the aftermath, with all the screaming for new laws and heads on a pike, I've had to take a closer look a this.  We've heard all the comparisons to the OJ trial.  It's "obvious" that he was guilty, and Casey Anthony is most likely guilty as well, but the demands for new laws and changes to the system make me pretty uncomfortable.   Both Casey and OJ will have to face judgement for what they did.   Our system IS imperfect, but that is because WE are imperfect.  There are times when people do "get away with murder" but do we want to throw away all our rights,laws, Constitution because of it?  Not me.   Link below to an opinion in American Thinker.  Sums it up pretty well.
