Casey Anthony: Not Guilty: Celebrity Reactions
From politics to health to child rearing, celebrities are quick to make sure their opinions are heard by the world at large. And with the advent of Twitter, it's never been easier for a movie star, musician or reality personality to get their message out to the world as soon as news breaks.
With Casey Anthony being found not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child (though she was convicted of misleading law enforcement) in the case of daughter Caylee Anthony's death, celebrities were quick to tweet out their thoughts -- including Kim Kardashian, whose father Robert helped lead OJ Simpson's successful defense in his murder trial. In this case, she was with the prosecution.

Casey was found GUILTY on four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
Anthony was teary-eyed as the verdict was read. A judge has ordered Anthony to be fingerprinted immediately.
Anthony faces up to 4 years in state prison for lying to the cops -- one year for each count. Sentencing has been scheduled for Thursday morning.
Casey's parents seemed shocked when the first not guilty verdict was read -- and they got up and walked out of the courtroom during the reading.
After the judge wrapped things up, Anthony finally smiled and shared a giant embrace with her lawyer.
Anthony has been locked up for the past three years ... which will count as time served against any sentence that the judge may hand down.
