Casey Anthony: The Case Of Casey Anthony

Caylee Anthony, a young two-year-old girl, of Orlando, Florida was last reported seen on June 16, 2008. Her grandmother, Cindy Anthony, reported her missing on July 15, 2008. This was almost a month after she was last seen. Caylee Anthony lived with her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, along with her mother, Casey Anthony. Cindy became suspicious of the whereabouts of her granddaughter after not seeing her for almost a month and her mother’s car having a strong odor of dead body. When asking her daughter, Casey, where Caylee was she made many different excuses before finally admitting that she had not seen Caylee in weeks. Police suspected that Casey was responsible for the death of Caylee and after an investigation, Casey was charged

USA TODAY published an article “Casey Anthony breaks her silence: I sleep pretty good at night.” Anthony did an interview with Associated Press speaking about the case and her daughter’s death for the first time. The Associated Press said that the interview with Anthony was “revealing, bizarre and often contradictory, and ultimately raised more question than answers about the case.” In the interview with Associated Press, Anthony admitted to lying to the police about a number of things such as her employment, leaving her child with a babysitter, and receiving a call from Caylee before she went missing. During the trial, the defense stated that Caylee had drown in the pool and then Casey Anthony’s father tried to cover up the accident. During the interview Anthony stated “I’m still not even certain as I stand her today about what happened.” Anthony told the interviewer that the last she knew her daughter was with her father and after that she does not remember much of anything. What she does remember is waking up in the morning to her mother telling her goodbye and Caylee was in bed with her. Then hours later waking up and Caylee being gone and not knowing where she was. Anthony did state “The last time I saw my daughter I believed she was alive and was going to be OK, and that’s what was told to me” Although most opinions of Anthony are based solely off

The interview was said to lead us with even more questions than before and that is right. Throughout the interview, Anthony seems so at peace with the situation. Claiming that the never lied about anything, but at times just “didn’t know.” This becomes frustrating as we process this knowledge, it is obvious that Anthony lied about many situations regarding the death of her young two-year old. Also, when Anthony says that she “doesn’t give a sh--” about the opinions that people have of her. Anyone with young children in their lives could easily become fired up over these words. There is proof that she had something to do with her daughter’s murder, and for her to be so careless about the fact that there is evidence proving this. The most disturbing line from Anthony was that she sleeps pretty good at night. Any mother that has gone through losing a child, or anyone who has ever lost a close loved one would question how she sleeps pretty good at night. As this information plays to our emotions we quickly begin to take the information more seriously. Relating knowledge to our hardships is a key way of getting information
