I've changed my radio listening habits because of this.
I was on my way to work, and the radio call-ins were from women who said they'd likely attempt to kill Ms. Anthony should they ever see her. The DJs said nothing against this. Then, on the way home, one of the DJs mentioned his own tweet about it was that she got away with murder.
None of these people spent the six to eight hours a day for a month and a half listening to testimony and evidence. They only had soundbites from other media outlets.
And every one of them is protected by "innocent until proven guilty", but apparently think it doesn't apply when they have poorly-founded opinions that disagree with the verdict. I found the station's people to be unprofessional, and the station to be bordering on unethical for how they treated the case. So, I've stopped listening.

It was insipid pop anyway, so no great loss.
