Anthony was acquitted Tuesday in the death of her 2-year-old daughter. Soon after the verdict was read, Dexter Morgan quickly became a popular trending topic on the social media site. Why? Because the central character of the Showtime series "Dexter," played by Michael C. Hall, moonlights as a serial killer who snuffs guilty suspects.
Tweets began pouring forth: @lehmo23 wrote, “A job for Dexter Morgan #caseyanthonyverdict”; @myrontan wrote, “Casey Anthony the baby killer found not guilty. Your move, Dexter”; and @iPaulGibson tweeted, “well i guess we all know what season 6 will be for Dexter Morgan… #CaseyAnthony wrapped in plastic.”
And there were hundreds more just like those seeking a way to right what many viewed as a wrong decision in a case that captivated the nation. Showtime would not comment on the matter."
