If it was 1952 instead of 2011, the verdict in Casey Anthony's trial would be "The Juror Hangs."
Librarian Miss T. Iris Ginge would rather look things up than hunt down a killer. She's also very reasonable. When Iris has reasonable doubts of a socialite's guilt, she becomes the lone holdout
against 11 men on the jury. The jury hangs. It's no-justice-as-usual in Chicago's Cook County Criminal Courthouse.
The killer's still "out there" -- out to get Iris.
I’m weary of people in pain, so I’ve taken a break from murder and have begun to write a serialized chess satire, “The Female World Record.” Please visit by blog at www.Chess.com for the latest installment: http://blog.chess.com/ccmambretti

I am not a lawyer. I'm a mystery writer and author of books on educational technology. In my "past lives" I've been a science editor, college teacher, technical writer, and corporate training consultant. And, yes, a former juror with strong opinions about the experience.
I firmly believe that every defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence until the moment the jury speaks.
