There’s been lots of reaction, especially from celebrities, to the bombshell verdict in the Casey Anthony case.
On Tuesday, a jury found the 25-year-old Florida woman not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee.
Anthony still faces sentencing on Thursday for four counts of lying to police regarding a missing person case. Legal experts said she could likely walk out of jail a free woman at that time.
Her trial that riveted millions has been ricocheting on television and Twitter, and reaction to the bombshell verdict remains constant, with even Jay Leno weighing in on the “Tonight Show.”
It’s a top trending topic on Twitter, with celebrities like Carson Daly who wrote, “That jury better get into hiding.”
Rainn Wilson from “The Office” said sarcastically, “Dear Florida, thank you for freeing Casey! She’s now available for partying and babysitting!”
Meanwhile, since she’s been found not guilty, there’s nothing to stop Anthony from selling her story to the highest bidder.
There’s a lot of speculation the compelling case could be turned into a movie, and she’s likely to be inundated with lucrative television and book deals worth millions.
