Casey Anthony was one of the only things people could talk about in 2008. Casey Anthony blew the news up about the killing of her daughter, the case lasted for about three years before the court finally reached a non- guilty verdict. The media and people all around America continued to speculate on reasons why they thought the verdict should have been guilty. After examining the case, two theories connect to the case. Casey Anthony has allowed me to further explore and examine all the theories so that I could explain the reasoning behind Anthony’s actions.
In the 2008 controversial court case of Casey Anthony, the innocent verdict incorrectly acquitted her because of false information, location of remains, and hurtful intentions. Casey’s first lie involved her saying she has talked to Caylee. She was already dead. “Casey Anthony told police that she spoke to her daughter Caylee on July 15, 2008, the day Caylee was reported missing. She told
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

Two mega cases would be the Jodi Arias Case and the Casey Anthony one. In the Jordi Arias case, Arias was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander. She killed him at his home by stabbing him 27 times, slicing his throat and shooting him in the head. She changed her story several times. She initially denied the killing but later admitted to it, claiming it was self-defense.
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 the Google search history these searches were found “neck breaking" and "how to make chloroform" supporting the reason why chloroform was found in the back of Casey’s car. Those to searches give evidence as to how Casey killed her daughter. The way not mattering as much as why was that searched on her Google browser in the first place? Well Casey searching those terms on Google shows that she had been planning to kill. A strand of hair was recovered from the trunk of Casey's car which was similar to the hair taken from Caylee Anthony's hairbrush.
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.
The Jerry Sandusky trial began in 2012 and was held in Centre County, Pennsylvania. Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of 48 counts and sentenced to 30 to 60 years in jail (Curry, 2015). The details of the case are horrific in nature, and worse is five men were made aware of the incidents and no action was taken to alert authorities. During the trial the victims were led through questions that all pointed toward the trust they had in Sandusky. The university is located in a small town setting where people work hard and have little; Sandusky reaching out to someone was considered a big deal.
However, Prosecutors stated that Anthony had suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to hit the nightclubs and spend time with her boyfriend (“Casey Anthony: Why did the jury say not guilty”). Although, in return, the defense that was led by Jose Baez stated that Caylee had drowned by accidently in the family’s swimming pool on June 16, 2008, and stated that the grandfather, George Anthony disposed of Caylee’s body (“Death of Caylee Anthony”). The defense then stated to the jury that Casey lied about the murder because Casey lived in a home of sexual abuse by her father. However, the defense did not show any evidence to the jury as to how Caylee died, nor evidence that Casey was sexually abused as a
The defense attorney claimed that Anthony and her father tried to cover up the death. A forensic expert is brought in and testifies that there must have been a decomposing body in Anthony’s car trunk because that was the only plausible explanation for the odor in the car trunk. Casey Anthony did not testify during the whole court process. The jury deliberated for almost eleven hours and their verdict for Anthony was that she was not of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. She was found guilty of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
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.
