Casey Phony Trial

812 Words4 Pages

A frustrated community, mislead stories, and a phony mother brought to the courtroom in 2008, as a mother was being charged. Casey Anthony, the mother of Caylee, was accused of being responsible for the disappearance and death of her daughter. Caylee had been missing for weeks, before it was reported. The Casey Anthony case was significant to America because it showed our society the careless actions of one mother through the unreliable stories, falsely made reports and evidence that wasn’t thoroughly investigated. This trial was significant to America because it showed our society the careless actions of a mother, and how her choices got her to where she is today. From the start, Casey had not been the best mother, from the start of denying …show more content…

This changed it especially for the views on the mothers in today’s society. The mother in this case, has been one to come across as a mother that was irresponsible with her life decisions. She made decisions that affected the way people thought about her. According to CNN, during the process Casey didn’t show emotion at the fact that her child was missing, also she went out to “party” during the investigation instead of being out searching for her daughter or staying on top of what the police have accomplished so far” (Florida V. Casey). With this news, this supports the fact of Casey not being a good mother and why she was suspected to be responsible for it. Since the very beginning Casey has not been thrilled of her pregnancy, and with “ Caylee now dead, this has allowed Casey to live a good life, at least for those first 31 days” (Florida V. Casey). Through out the trial this mother was only thinking about herself, according to Attorney Linda Drone from CNN ” No one else benefited from the death of Caylee Marie Anthony”. The jury verdict was upsetting to society because of the mother not being charged with the murder or disappearance of Caylee. The Jury like what was said before only could make a decision on what was being given. There was little to no evidence that was brought to court that was investigated thoroughly to build a case or to charge her with it. Throughout the days in court it was realized that no one was on the same page, because not everyone was informing the prosecutors what all was investigated.
The Casey Anthony case was important to America because it showed us the un thoughtful ways one mother had lived. By the not so trustworthy stories, untrue claims and pieces of the case that didn’t get thoroughly looked

    Even when Michael’s new defense team, through the innocence project, found a crime that was eerily similar to the method of murder and subsequent events to the one that Michael was convicted of, the new prosecutor in Williamson County fought hard to keep DNA testing from taking place, even stating that they objected to the testing now because the defense hadn’t requested it before (Morton, 2014). There was further evidence of ineffectiveness in that the coroner who’d changed his estimated time of death between the autopsy and trial, had come under scrutiny for his findings in this case, as well as several others, with claims of gross errors “including one case where he came to the conclusion that a man who’d been stabbed in the back had committed suicide” (Morton, 2014). This was only one of the many injustices that were committed against Michael Morton throughout his trial. In August of 2006, the defense was finally granted permission to perform DNA testing on the items that had been taken from his wife’s body (Morton, 2014). Although this testing did not reveal any information about the guilty party, it did at least give Michael the knowledge that Chris was not sexually violated before or after her death (Morton,

    The case that I chose is a pretty high-profile case, Casey Marie Anthony. Mrs. Anthony is on trial for first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.

    I feel a little bit of sympathy towards Andrea Yates, but not so much. The reason is because although Andrea did have mental problems which must have been hard to deal with while taking care of kids I do still believe she was still fully capable of understanding that her actions were wrong. Andrea lived a normal life and showed promise that she would lead a successful life. Andrea grew up with loving parents, she got good grades, and she was liked by everybody, and had a career going for her as a nurse.

    The prosecution of George Junius Stinney Jr. evokes sadness and an utter disgust in those people who sought to coerce a child to confess to a crime with the promise of an ice cream cone. The articles and video’s raise so many questions of why this child was accused. First there is no physical evidence connecting this young boy to the girls other than him seeing them that day. Another issues that bothers me is how this child was questioned without having a lawyer or his parents present. It is important to look at the time period in which this occurred.
