Casey Anthony Verdict Makes Facebook’s Top Ten Pages. FBers Explode In Outrage Over Casey Anthony. Outraged Facebook users are posting at a rapid-fire pace about the “not guilty” decision by the jury in the Casey Anthony trial. Posts challenging the verdict are going up faster than we can even count, meaning at least ten of them per second– and this is within minutes of the “not guilty” decision. Many of these posts include expletives, all capital letters and numerous exclamation marks. Some share videos, like the one embedded below, explaining how Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her daughter; she pled guilty to supplying false information to law enforcement. And we’ve yet to see a post say anything in agreement with the jury’s verdict — have you? Readers, what are your friends posting about the case? Casey Anthony found not guilty; Twitter erupts in outrage.

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 of the trial 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. "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.

Many more reactions after the jump. Photos: Casey Anthony murder trial. Celebrity Reactions. Twitter Inspired By Nancy Grace's Reaction To Casey Anthony Verdict. It seems like the two biggest questions on everyone's mind in the wake of the Casey Anthony verdict are: 1) What will Nancy Grace do now? And 2) Has Nancy Grace's head, in fact, exploded? The polarizing CNN personality has been as prominent a figure in the sensational trial as those actually involved in it, and she made her feelings on the verdict very clear: "As the defense sits by and has their champagne toast after that not guilty verdict.

Somewhere out there, the devil is dancing tonight. " As is its wont, the Twitter community had a lot to say about the trial, the verdict and about Nancy Grace, in particular. Since there's just nothing funny about the trial itself, we thought we'd share a few tweets from the latter category that made us chuckle. Fortunately for CNN, they will have a new Casey Anthony murder trial to cover when Nancy Grace kills her. loading...
