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


Yes the general public should show mercy and leave her alone. Basically, because it is cyber bullying, disrespecting her, and its clearly none of their business. She does not deserve such , as she has already been acquitted and they should respect her. 


Setting up a facebook page and gathering nearly 39,000 likes for an I hate Casey Anthony page is unreasonable and immature. They do not empathise with Casey's position, and indeed makes her a villain . This is cyber bullying, inflicting harm , social, psychological harm on Casey, and she does not deserve it. Take yourself as an example. Put yourself in Casey's shoes : You did not intend to kill anyone, and within a blink of an eye, the netizens express hatred towards you. They do not even understand your position. Its cyber bullying, as Casey would not only feel uncomfortable, she might breakdown. They should show mercy, and let the court decide; since they have acquitted her, let it be ! The masses have no right to judge or determine her treatment. 


I feel that the public is also disrespecting her. They do not bother much about her feelings and take no consideration the implications that appear imminent. For example, if you were wrongly accused of killing your own daughter, and people continue judging you based on an act you did not do, that is a total misconception. And if they continue bugging you on it, will you not feel like you were stepped on? They do not listen to you, they listen to what they think it is; they just ignore your emotions. How would you feel? Not just sad, but disrespected ! Definitely the public should show some mercy ! Their "justice" appears very detrimentally, and consciously despises Casey, and is an obvious disrespect to her. Why can't they just be merciful, and take a step back?


Finally, it is more than clear, that the death of Casey Anthony's daughter is none of the public's business. They are by no means related to Casey, to them, its just another death. Why make a fuss out of it? For example, if your daughter passes away, and if you see a more than 30,000 people poking their noses into the matter; they did not encourage her or motivate her, they despised and disrespected her. I would not mind as much if her relatives poked their noses in. But think about it, random strangers amounting to tens of thousands all criticising your actions. Excuse me, justice is not meted out this way. 


Casey's daughter's death is already a setback, plus the constant public cyber bullying her, I doubt she can handle this crisis. I think that we should just leave her alone, and not be busybodies, and try to be just.
