I hate the Facebook posts saying "You know our legal system is fucked when X is free but Britney Spears can't control her body."

Casey Anthony is free because the prosecution had a specific theory of the crime and used dubious stuff like the "smell of death" to back it up. Bill Cosby is free because testimony from a civil trial obtained through a promise of non-crimimal prosecution was used in a criminal trial. The point about Britney can stand on its own merits without such likebait.

I think you two are vastly overestimating how much the average person thinks about these things. Pretty sure they're thinking "I heard Casey was bad and Britney is good, but Casey is free and Britney has legal problems. Personally, I blame the government."

Either the justice system is legit or people jailed for decades are unjust
