“That means she is lying!” One thing that me and Nancy Grace have in common is our surprise on the part of the judicial system. I believe they misunderstood the meaning of reasonable doubt and came to a wrong verdict. In midsummer 2008 a young Caylee Marie Anthony suddenly went “missing” her mother - Caylee Anthony - being the last person to interact with her. I think Casey Anthony is guilty due to her constantly changing story, access to possible supplies, and the lies unfit of a “frightened mother.” Casey Anthony when questioned by police was very vague with her story and often changed the events leading prior to her daughter's disappearance. In her original statement she claimed to of dropped Caylee off with her nanny, Zenaida Gonzalez, …show more content…
Lead defense attorney Jose Baez suggested, at the trial, that the little girl drowned and Casey Anthony's father, George, helped cover up the incident. The former judge for the case believes the Casey Anthony killed her toddler daughter, but not own purpose. “Considering the high levels of chloroform that was found in the trunk of the car, that was my logical deduction for what happened,' Perry said. 'That’s just a theory. The only person that actually knows what happened is Casey …show more content…
“If that happened to my daughter I’d hang flyers everywhere hoping someone saw something.” Casey lied to official officers and later when confronted own her misdemeanors claimed that she was looking for her daughter the whole time, lie, and was too frightened to tell the police that she hadn’t seen her daughter for about a month, also lies. It was later found that the entire time her daughter was M.I.A. Casey - the supposedly “frightened mother” - was out partying and getting wasted off her ass. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t exactly seem like a worried mother to me, granted forensics could never find any directly linking evidence own Casey Anthony, no fingerprints were found own the duct-tape, no hair, no shoe prints, no DNA of any
Bennett decided to leave her daughter alone and unattended so that she could visit her fiancé in San Francisco. When Bennett had come home, she found her daughter dead due to dehydration. When asked what had happened, she first told police that she left her daughter with a babysitter. Later, she made a statement, admitting that she left her infant daughter alone and knew she would die in a few days. Through evidence and witness statements, I was able to conclude that the defendant, Mary Bennett, is guilty of second-degree murder of her six-month old, infant
When the trial started the prosecution used the approach of Casey being a promiscuous party girl that didn't want to be a mother anymore. That pushed the fact that she was unconcerned about the fact that her daughter was missing and that she planned to murder Caylee. The defense on the other had used elaborate stories that defamed Caseys father by saying Caylee drowned in the family pool and George Anthony help cover up the accident. They also stated the George had molested Casey since she was eight, and her brother would do sexual advances towards her as well, convincing the jury that Caylee may have been a product of
More importantly, a mother who is broken by their child disappearance would not refrain from sharing their pain with family and close friends. However, Casey Anthony did not show any of these emotions when her two-year-old daughter was gone. In fact, she was not even the person who reported her missing to the emergency operator. Also, Casey fabricated false information to law enforcement officers who sole missing was to bring back Caylee. Casey’ demeanor and her unwillingness to help locate her daughter gave signs that she was a mother who did not care too much for her child.
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.
On July 5th, 2011 Casey Anthony was found not guilty for murdering her two year old daughter Caylee Anthony in Orlando Florida. Caylee was found in a trash bag, with duct tape wrapped around her head to cut off air supply. There are many key pieces of evidence in the case that points toward Casey being guilty of the crime. I truly believe Casey killed Caylee, here are a few reasons why.
Casey had no other excuses and more evidence began to pile up against her. George Anthony took the stand and told the jury of a time not long before Caylee’s disappearance when Casey and her boyfriend broke into the shed out back at his home stole gas cans. One of the gas cans stolen had a special kind of duct tape on it which was not found in very many places. To seal the deal, that special duct tape had been removed when Casey returned the cans and was later found on Caylee covering her mouth
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
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.
Have you ever wondered if a murder case has the same outcome as every other murder case? The answer to that question is no. The reason for this is because each case has different outcomes depending on certain topics throughout the trial. These topics include the trial setup, the evidence presented, the society attitude, and the important events that took place while the case was occurring. After comparing two different murder cases, the West Memphis Three trial and Casey Anthony trial, one can learn that the influences happening throughout the society and how well the evidence is presented will help predict the outcome of the case.
Nine years ago, of the little girls in which was killed was two year old, Caylee. And her main suspected killer was able to walk following two and a half years later. Caylee Anthony was the daughter of Casey Anthony, age nineteen when born, and with a father who was both unknown to the court
The Andrea Yates Murder Case Andrea Yates had always lead a splendid life, a bright young woman moving on to do great things in the world. No one expected the class valedictorian, swim team captain, and National Honor Society officer to jump off the deep end shortly after her nursing career took off. Unfortunately, the unexpected did take place, and Andrea’s battle with extreme mental illness took off, snowballing for years to come. One day, she could no longer control it, causing her to commit one of the most shocking crimes in history, involving the deaths of her own children, invoking despair in of all of society. Due to the wide publicization of her story, the devastating Andrea Yates murder case brought a grasp of mental illness’s role
On July 15, 31 days after two-year-old Caylee's disappearance, Cindy Anthony reported her missing to the Orange County Sheriff's Office (“Casey Anthony Trial Fast Facts”). After questioning Casey, detectives found many holes in Casey’s story. The signed statement she made about Caylee's disappearance was false, Casey’s friends and family had never heard of the babysitter, and detectives later discovered that, there was no nanny (Orlando, John Cloud). As the search for Caylee intensified, Casey Anthony was put under investigation for her actions days before Caylee was reported
In June of 2001, the entire nation was deeply disturbed by the horrific acts committed by a suburban Texas housewife, and mother of five. Andrea Yates had drowned all five of her young children in the bathtub of their home. Yates called the authorities and her husband Rusty Yates to the home, where she confessed to killing her children. According to Faith McLellan of the Lancet Medical Journal, Andrea Yates’s bizarre reasoning behind this horrific act was because she believed to have been marked by Satan, and that in order to save her children from hell she needed to take their lives (McLellan, 2006). Yates pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity on the basis of mental defect due to postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis.
Not calling 911 and hiding the body was morally and criminally wrong. The lack of remorse bothered me as an utter disregard for her dead daughter and selfishness unparalleled. I believe that the prosecution’s putting the death
On May 25, 2010 Casey Anthony 's lawyer states to the court and jury that Caylee was unintentionally drowned in the swimming pool of their home , and that Casey and her father had cover it up.
