Casey Anthony Case

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,

With jury selections weeks prior to the trial, the Anthony trial moved the case to Clearwater, Florida instead of Orlando due to the amount of publicity of the case and their needs of a fair trial. One of the most interesting and most valuable theories the appellants attorneys came up was that Caylee’s death was due to an accident drowning in the family’s backyard pool, and that the month-long delay of reporting the child missing was due to the panic between Casey and George Anthony. According to Crime Museum, “Casey’s behavior afterwards–lying to her friends and family about her daughter’s whereabouts, as well as partying at local clubs–resulted from a lifelong habit of hiding her pain, according to her lawyer. They alleged that this habit was formed in her childhood because her father sexually abused her”.

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.

Of course, Casey never admitted to any of this happening. This is all information that he discovered during investigating Casey Anthony, while trying to help her family find out what happened to Caylee and get some closure. If you are interested in all of the details that this private investigator is sharing, then you will want to read the new Casey Anthony book. It is already available on Amazon and it is called Privilege Waived - Part II: Remember Me? This book will reveal a lot more about Casey Anthony than just what has been shared already.

In the Casey Anthony trial, a controversial piece of evidence had been brought up about whether or not the “smell of death” from the trunk of Casey’s car can be linked to and used as evidence in the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. The smell that was in the trunk of Casey’s car could have been used as evidence in the trial. Why? Because it would have proven that, her daughter Caylee decomposed body was in the trunk of the car.

Items did not match up. So how could this women seriously get away with killing her little girl? One word…EVIDENCE! Both of these defendants were acquitted of their charges due to lack of evidence.

The first layer the Wedding Cake Model of Criminal Justice are celebrated cases. These cases are directly in the sites of media outlets. This because of the celebrity involved with the case. These type of cases command a great deal of media attention. When the court systems are dealing with these types of cases, they have to go about them a certain way.

Though some cases of molestation and abuse during times of mass hysteria may be true, false accusations tend to occur because of over exaggeration of the fad. One of the most famous cases of false accusation was the Amirault’s case, this involved Gerald, Cheryl and Violet Amirault. In this case these three individuals were accused of committing heinous crimes against children and animals. Soon after these accusations children were interrogated multiple times by the authorities, trained professionals and parents. In these interrogation sessions some of the children repeatedly told the adult that none of the Amiraults had touched them inappropriately.

Later she started forging checks from Amy’s account. It seemed that Casey lacked remorse. A young mother should be acting close to crazy trying to figure out where her daughter is, but even when Casey called from the jail, finding Caylee wasn’t her top priority. She was mostly concerned with getting her boyfriend’s phone number and got mad when Caylee was brought up. Casey Anthony’s arrest was seen as helpful because she wasn’t helping the police get

The O.J. Simpson case was a different one because he was a celebrity. The celebrity status made all the difference in the case, as most people had diverse views on the case.

Both women were described as wonderful mothers who loved their children, but were also described as having post-partum issues during the last years of their children’s lives. Andrea Yates admitted to her harsh crimes and was willing to take any punishment that was given, as she believed she was saving her children’s souls. On the other hand, Darlie Routier did not admitted her crimes towards her children. Darlie Routier pleaded not guilty, but prosecutors believed differently after many conflicts appeared in her story.

This may cause the jury to be indecisive between what the actual case and what the media portrays it to be. The amount of media released for cases creates a negative impact within the courts and makes it difficult for a fair trial. When juries are uncertain about a case or a suspect, they result to social media platforms and news coverage that will provide them with more information and depth into the case. ‘’But if the case unfolds in the media, by the time a case gets to court, the supposedly impartial jury (or even the judge) may have already heard information and allegations (not admissible by court standards) that have caused them to seriously prejudice the parties’’. (Nedim, 2014).
