The trial of Casey Anthony was one that struck the nation in a very emotional manner. The trial was on TV for months before anyone could come out with any real answers, and even then, they weren’t the answers they were looking for, and half of them were made up. In the end the jury decided to find her not guilty, while everyone else’s opinion was that she was a cold blooded killer. Unfortunately the proper evidence just wasn’t there in the end to convict her for the first degree murder of her 2 year old daughter Caylee. This being said, if I was on the jury I would definitely have found her guilty because of the, in my opinion, extremely odd behavior that came from Casey during the entire process. For instance Cindy, the grandmother of Caylee, was the one who reported her missing after not seeing her for 31 days and also …show more content…
She then said that her daughter had been kidnapped by the nanny and she was trying to find her before she alerted the authorities. Now I don’t believe any mother would be that reluctant to tell their own mother, let alone the police, that their own daughter had not been seen for weeks. This is one of the main reasons that I believe she did kill her daughter or was in some way involved in the death of Caylee Anthony. The skeleton of the child was then found near the family’s house 5 months after she was reported missing. What are the odds of the body being that close to the house and no one having any clue for months on end? This just screams suspicion, but alas, there was no hard evidence that tied Casey into the placement of the body, so this was a moot point. Other points where brought up which could have very likely led to the death of Caylee. It was said by Jose Baez, Casey’s attorney, that Caylee had drowned in the family pool and George, Casey’s father, had been the one to dispose of the
No evidence of Caylee or the nanny. Casey reports to police that she used other means of sources to find Caylee. 31 days later she was reported missing. Casey Anthony did all of this to her daughter, the lies she used to distract investigators, it is all in the facts. Casey Anthony lived a young and restless life.
The Casey Anthony case is the trial of Casey Anthony for the death and murder of Caylee Anthony. The two parties in this case are Casey Anthony against the state of Florida. The trial is a criminal case because it is involving a murder of a child. The trial was originally heard in state court. Although Casey Anthony plead not guilty on the first degree murder charge, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, she was convicted of the misdemeanor which was giving false information to the police and authorities and was given 4 consecutive years of jail time (one year per count) and was fined 1,000$ for each of her four counts (4,000$ in total).
Cindy was the one who made the 911 call on July 19th reporting that Caylee had been missing for a month(Liston, Barbara). She also reported that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body and that Casey had given multiple reasons for where Caylee was before she admitted that it had been weeks since she last saw Caylee. Lying would prove to be a common trend with Casey Anthony. Casey was obviously the primary suspect, and in October she was charged with first
Susan’s own husband seemed to be the only person in the state that didn’t care about finding her. Josh actively avoided the police and every attempt made by the media to interview him. Even when the media succeeded in getting an interview with him and his two sons, Josh avoided any kind of question that would place him under further suspicion. The same cannot be said about Braden and Charlie. When asked about his mom, Charlie said, “My mom is staying where the crystals are”.
Many people believe that Casey was guilty of the crime and that the jury made a mistake in acquitting her. Others believe that the prosecution did not present enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey was
According to the article, the police officer who interviewed Casey, "noted the unemotional nature of Casey's behavior towards the loss of her child and claimed that she did not give any indication that she was legitimately worried about her child's safety" (Melich, 2008). In October 2008, Casey was found guilty as a first-degree murder.
In the Casey Anthony case, she says that her daughter drowned in a pool because of her lack of attention towards her daughter. So was the jury accurate in their decision of saying she was not guilty? The trial had begun on May 10, 2011 three years after two-year-old Caylee Anthony had been reported missing. After a few months of investigation, investigators had found Caylee’s skeletal remains
Casey Anthony “Smell of Death” In the summer of 2008, Casey Anthony daughter Caylee Anthony was last seen on June 16, 2008. No one knows where she was nor did Casey report that her daughter was missing. Time went by with no sign of Caylee reappearing. Casey’s mother called and reported that her granddaughter was missing and that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body had been in there.
Baez also says that Caylee drowned in the Anthony family pool on June 16, 2008, and that George and Casey Anthony covered up the death.” (Trial Fast Facts) The defense claims that the traces of chloroform found in the trunk occurred while covering up Caylee’s drowning. The prosecution argued that Anthony was a party girl, and unconcerned about her daughter. They stated that Anthony was responsible for the death of
Caylee was a sweet innocent little girl who probably was scared and terrified. And, many of you may assume that Casey could have been terrified and was actually innocent. But, she wasn’t, nothing about Casey was innocent.
After months of testifying the trial comes to the end on July 11th, when jury deliberates for over 10 hours before coming back with the verdict of not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. Casey was found guilty of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. I personally believe Casey should have been found guilty of first degree murder of her daughter. If Caylee did accidentally drown, why would they place duct tape over her mouth and dump her body in the woods, why did they call the police and report a accidental drowning?
In 1985 Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted of a sexual assault he didn’t commit. During the time that led up to this event, Steven Avery threatened a spouse of a deputy sheriff ( she is also his cousin) with a rifle, which he stated was empty. This all happened in Manitowoc County in Wisconsin. It is claimed the Avery family never really fit in with the surrounding community and were seemingly considered uncultured troublemakers. Steven Avery did have previous convictions of burglaries and animal cruelty.
When seeking information on the trial, information is commonly presented with a dramatic and media based view of the case, rather than evidence that revealed the problems that the prosecution had with its case, like the lack of an established motive. In acquitting Anthony, the jury made the right call. The Casey Anthony trial offered little to no evidence pointing to Casey Anthony. It provided neither justice nor clarity. For 33 days, defense and prosecutors attorneys battled over evidence in the trial.
They shed light on how the prosecution built their case. The authors also explains in detail on how the media and the people fixation on the case could have undermined it. Walker, C., & Filia, M. (2011). The Casey Anthony murder trial: a modern American tragedy.
After weeks of trial, and over four hundred pieces of evidence presented, Casey Anthony was acquitted. She was found guilty of four misdemeanor crimes, including giving false information and neglect (Neubauer 10). This verdict left the nation in shock. With that much evidence, how was Anthony not accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter?
