Considering they only charged her with murder I think they should bring her back in for neglect which was proven during this trial. Regardless of whether or not she committed the murder she should be punished for what crime she did commit.
I believe there were 7 charges. The 3 that had anything to do directly with murdering and abuse were dismissed... while the 4 about lying to police were given "Guilty" verdicts.

Again, double jeopardy. They can't. Even if they amend the constitution, it's in the constitution that amendments aren't applicable to events that happened before the amendments were enacted. They can't get her on any of the charges that she was acquitted of, including the neglect.
You're taking that out of context Palpatine, I was not sure as to whether or not she'd been charged with neglect during the trial, so if she had not been charged with it, she should be arrested and be put back on trial.
I won't be in the vigilante business anytime soon...
...but I won't be happy with the decision just because that's what the gov't says. Whether she killed her or she didn't, she wronged her daughter. Had she reported the incident sooner, Caylee's body might've been found earlier and with that more evidence for catching the actual perpetrator could have been recovered. It may not be an official one, but I see it as a crime against that child. She may have been acquitted for murder. That doesn't mean that I have to think nice things about her and her inexcusable deplorable behavior.
...and some people keep saying that we focus on stuff like this just b/c it is in the media. I care about all of the horrible things that have happened in the world...even those that I'll never know about. If I learn about something and feel that I want to express my opinion on it, then I'll do so. Saying one case doesn't matter compared to all of the other injustices is stupid. They all matter.
This is clearly a mistrial and should be looked upon, but sadly, the system has failed.
No, it was absolutely not a mistrial. It's all about reasonable doubt here, and it's rather obvious even from the little the press has released on the trial that the prosecution could not prove that she committed the murders beyond a reasonable doubt. Just because it seems obvious that someone murdered someone else doesn't mean that a not guilty result is a mistrial. We've all become horrendously biased from the news coverage and Casey's less-than-optimal public image, and quite frankly due process is a lot more reliable than the nigh bloodthirsty public is.
I can see your logic, given the reasoning that I've read only a few articles of the Casey Anthony Trial and being sort of type to go along with the obvious side. Biased or not, most news sites are difficult to show both ways of the story. Wish we could all get over the fact that we prejudge someone without getting to know the full story, but it's difficult not to.
Personally I would say if there is any any doubt of guilt, or lack thereof scratch it, get a new pool and start over, of course due to the sheer amount of resources and proliferation of media in out world that is quite impossible.
This kinda reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial. they couldn't try him because they couldn't find any evidence to convict him. ( I'm guessing he paid off the cops to hide it or destroy it ). Everyone knew he was guilty just like the awful mother here. Hope she gets what she deserves one way or another
