Casey Anthony is not guilty of murder!

The 12-member jury in the Orange County, Florida found Casey Anthony not guilty of murder in the June 16, 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

She was also found not guilty of aggravated child abuse and not guilty of aggravated manslaughter of a child. The defense had argued that Caylee died in an accidental drowning.

However, Anthony, 25, was found guilty on all four counts of providing false information to law enforcement officers.

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, according to TMZ.

Following the verdict, celebrities took to Twitter to express their shock and outrage.

"WHAT?!" Kim Kardashian, whose father Robert Kardashian was one of OJ Simpson's lawyers, tweeted. "Casey Anthony found not guilty! I am speechless!"

"Completely shocked," Tori Spelling wrote.

"You know the world is skewed when people get away with murdering children but we can't get gay marriage legalized in the state of California," Miley Cyrus stated.

Jason Biggs tweeted: "I guess the glove didn't fit," while Ricki Lake added: "I'm disgusted! Not guilty? Oh come on."

"I believe in the jury system and accept the verdict," Star Jones wrote. "But I can't take the smiles from Casey Anthony right now. She may be not guilty, but her baby is dead!"

Anthony's sentencing for providing false information to the police will be on Thursday at 9 a.m.
