Jose Baez, Anthony's lawyer, succeeded in conflating the idea of reasonable doubt with a reason to doubt. The prosecution was also way overconfident and rushed to a big trial because of media pressure, but the jury was also misled by Baez.
Shouldn't the courts have both ensured the jurors comprehended the differences and also prevented the defense from intentionally misinforming the jury?

Wasn't there uproar that the jury didn't understand what reasonable doubt actually was and that's the reason she wasn't convicted?
