Casey Anthony book deal?

Did the jury get it right?
Was there just not enough evidence?
Should there have been lesser charges? Manslaughter, maybe?
Does being a bad mom and wild-child correlate with being a murderer?

Did Casey literally get away with murder?

Everyone's asking questions. Many are outraged. Most--understandably--are filling the gaps with their own predisposed biases.

Casey's next move is the biggest enigma. With accusations of incest and a whirlwind of unwanted, intrusive, circus-like, global media attention, its unlikely that Casey will receive a happy familial homecoming. Casey reality is no college education, no trade skills, few remaining friends and tremendous stigma. There are few places that Casey can turn. She's been in jail for 3 years but, no matter where she applies for a job, they'll KNOW the reason for the lapse in work. And there are other problems, like death threats. Her own lawyer, Baez, even fears for her safety. Speaking of him, how does she plan on EVER paying him?

Pundits predict that Casey will begin to see an influx of book deal offers. Price tags range may from $750,000 and upward. Of course, that doesn't even include royalties; that's just an advance. A memoir would certainly rake in millions for Casey. Perhaps, the same public that is a tarring-and-feathering her will make her one wealthy woman.

So, what do you think? If there were a Casey Anthony memoir or semi-confessional book (think back to O.J.'s shocking, at worst, and disrespectful, at best, piece "If I did it...") would you buy it?
