Billy, dont be too quick to judge....

Casey Anthony was found "not guilty" of first degree murder, popular public opinion holds her guilty as charged. I haven't found myself ready to side with either.

One one hand I would like to trust the American justice system, on the other I'm cautious to cast judgment. No doubt that at some time or another people who are innocent have been charged guilty and others who are guilty have been set free. Is this one of those cases?

Watching clips of the trial on TV and seeing the public response has caused me to think of a few things...

Justice
Justice is the very nature of God. God alone is the source and measure of all judgment.

Judging
Christians are asked not to judge (Matt 7: 1-5).

"Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices."
C.S. Lewis

Truth
In the end all truth will be known and Gods judgment will prevail.
