What will casey anthonys life be like

Her boss, McKenna, also worked on his case. Anthony says she can empathize with Simpson, who is in prison on unrelated charges. Anthony enjoys taking photos of nature, especially squirrels. Last year, she incorporated a photography business in Florida. She reads: In her bedroom, Anthony has two stacks of books on a white bureau.

Anthony has friends — some in the legal field and the media, she says — and they occasionally go out to bars and clubs in the West Palm Beach area. Anthony says she is not, and never has ever been, a partier, despite rumors during trial centered on Facebook photos of her drinking and clubbing.

But she does likes Fat Tire beer. George is reported to be "despondent and possibly under the influence of medication and alcohol" when he is located at a hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida, along with a five-page suicide note. April 13, Prosecutors announce their intention to pursue the death penalty. Although earlier court papers indicated that the death penalty would not be in play, the new notice of intent cites "sufficient aggravating circumstances" to justify its imposition.

The trial begins with the prosecution's opening salvo of Casey being a party girl with no use for a young daughter, as evidenced by the month spent shopping and drinking during Caylee's absence. Those remarks are soon eclipsed by Baez's stunning opening statement which asserts that Caylee drowned in the family swimming pool and that George sought to cover up the accidental death. The lead defense lawyer also alleges that George had molested Casey, thereby igniting her habit of lying to cover up the pain and that Kronk, the utility worker, had found Caylee's body and planted it in the woods.

Taking the stand as the first witness, George denies that he ever molested his daughter or knew anything about Caylee's drowning. Simon Birch, the manager of the towing company that impounded Casey's car in June , testifies that he had encountered multiple vehicles with dead bodies during his three decades in the business and that the smell from Casey's car was consistent with those past experiences.

Arpad Vass of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory explains how the "shockingly high" amount of chloroform — a chemical released by decomposition, as well as one that can be used to knock someone unconscious — detected in the car trunk led to his conclusion that a dead body was indeed present. However, his testimony is contradicted the following day by an FBI scientist, who compares the chloroform level in the trunk to the amount found in household cleaners. A software designer testifies that someone had searched for "chloroform" a whopping 84 times and also looked up such terms as "head injuries," "ruptured spleen," "chest trauma" and "internal bleeding" on the Anthonys' home computer in March , during the regular work hours of George and Cindy.

The designer later reports an error in his detecting software and determines that the user visited a site related to chloroform only once. In a crucial day for the defense, Cindy claims that she was the one who researched chloroform on her computer.

She also testifies that a stain found in the trunk, allegedly caused by Caylee's decomposing body, was there when the family purchased the car eight years earlier. Continuing with the narrative that Casey was overly burdened by Caylee, lead prosecutor Jeff Ashton emphasizes to the jury how the young mother was motivated enough to go to extremes to achieve her freedom.

While forbidden from revisiting the unsupported molestation claims, Baez nevertheless delivers an effective closing argument by pointing out the lack of evidence that could definitively place Caylee's body in the car trunk or tie Casey to her daughter's death. Protesters outside the Orange County Courthouse on July 7, After almost six weeks of testimony and pieces of evidence presented in court, the jury of seven women and five men takes less than 11 hours to reach a verdict of not guilty.

And would be a total badass," she told The Associated Press in one of a series of exclusive interviews. But discussing Caylee's last moments, the year-old Anthony spoke in halting, sober tones: "I'm still not even certain as I stand here today about what happened," she said. I understand why people have the opinions that they do. This was the first time Anthony spoke to a news media outlet about her daughter's death or her years since the trial.

Her responses were at turns revealing, bizarre and often contradictory, and they ultimately raised more questions than answers about the case that has captivated the nation. It's been almost nine years since Caylee went missing, and six since the circus-like Orlando trial that ended in her mother's acquittal.

The trial was carried live on cable networks and was the focus of daily commentaries by HLN's Nancy Grace, who called her "the most hated mom in America," and, derisively, "tot mom. The child was supposedly last seen on June 16, ; she was first reported missing, by Casey Anthony's mother, on July A day later, Casey Anthony was arrested on charges of child neglect. She told police that Caylee had disappeared with a baby sitter.

A utility worker working in a wooded area near the Anthony home on Dec. Experts would testify that air samples indicated that decaying human remains had been present in Casey Anthony's trunk. In the end, prosecutors proved Casey Anthony was a liar, but convinced the jury of little else. The government failed to establish how Caylee died, and they couldn't find her mother's DNA on the duct tape they said was used to suffocate her.

After a trial of a month and a half, the jury took less than 11 hours to find Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse. Still, the Florida Department of Children and Families concluded that Anthony was responsible for her daughter's death because her "actions or the lack of actions She was convicted of four counts of lying to police though two counts were later dropped , and served about three years in prison while awaiting trial.
