Casey Anthony Research Paper

On July 15, 2008, Casey Anthony reported her daughter, Caylee Anthony, missing. Casey Anthony claimed their “Zanny” kidnapped her daughter, but it was soon uncovered that they did not have a nanny to begin with. Weeks later, remains were found in a wooded area not far from their house. The forensics discovered that the remains were in fact Caylee. Not long after, Casey was arrested for child endangerment and was a suspect in the murder of her two-year old daughter. Casey claimed her daughter accidentally drowned in their swimming pool and as a result, she became panic-stricken and was unsure of what to do resulting with her “pretending” that her daughter never actually drowned. The prosecution believed Casey drugged her daughter with chloroform

After all the evidence that pointed to Casey Anthony for the murder, she still got away

MCO claim she hit a stationary object. She was given instruction to deadhead the bus into the yard.

Of course, her father denied it all and on June 30 the defense rested. Casey never took the stand. On July 5, the jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse, citing the mostly circumstantial evidence presented. She ended up being found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement authorities, and thus sentenced to four years in jail and $4,000 in

Casey Anthony stepped into the national spotlight after the suspicious disappearance of her daughter Caylee. She failed to report missing for 31 days and created a tangle of lies, including that a babysitter kidnapped Caylee to cover up the absence. On October 14th 2008, Anthony was indicted by a grand jury on charges of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, and four counts of providing false information to police. As her story unfolded in court many believed she was unquestionably guilty. The Prosecution’s theory was that Casey Anthony used chloroform on her daughter to render her unconscious, placed duct tape over her mouth and nose and kept the body in the trunk for several days before disposing of it. The jury, however, felt differently due to evidence considered by them to be circumstantial.

Mid- July when they found Casey’s abandoned car, they also found chloroform in the bottom of Casey’s trunk. The police have evidence that Casey had looked up suspicious things on the internet. This made it look like it was a premeditated murder. Casey looked up things such as , neck breaking , house hold weapons, shovel, and how to make chloroform. What a coincidence that she had looked up how to make it and then found it in her trunk. Why would Casey need to know these things? For no other reason other than to use

Her mother is Casey Anthony, who was nineteen at the time. Caylee lived in a household with her mother and her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. July 15, 2008 reality shocked this family, when Cindy called reporting Caylee is missing(CNN). The day after this devastating, news Casey was called in for questioning. During this time she tells the police how her daughter vanished after she was dropped off at her babysitter, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez’s apartment, June 9th(CNN). Casey proceeded to explain how she just left her sitting on the stairs of the apartment alone(Fanning, 53). Later it was discovered the apartment had been vacant at the time(Fanning, 53). During her interrogation, suspicion hit the officer as Casey said her daughter was probably either in a dumpster or buried somewhere(Fanning, 63). After listening to what Casey had to say, she was arrested for child neglect(CNN). People wonder why she would wait over a month to go to police. They also wondered if something went on inside the Anthony house that we don’t know(Fanning,

On October 29th 2015 at 1400 hours, Investigator Akins was contacted by Kacey Eruabrere, who stated she had no additional information.

When Casey was 19 her family noticed that she was gaining weight, while her parents suspected she was pregnant, Casey claimed that she was still a virgin. Seven months into her pregnancy she finally came out and told her family that she was pregnant, and that she didn’t know who the father was. Casey and her mom had a fight about seeing a photo online of Casey at a no clothes party; Cindy accused Casey of being an unfit mother and threatened to try and take custody of Caylee. The next day, after the argument with her mother Casey took Caylee and told her parents that she was going to Tampa and work at Universal Studios. Her parents got a letter in the mail saying that Casey’s car was at a tow yard. George went to get the car and smelled something awful like a decomposing body, not long after Cindy and George found out that Caylee was missing and that is when the murder case began. I think Casey is guilty because she is a liar, she has a low tolerance for boredom, and she was highly secretive (“Casey” 1).

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said “this lady doesn't get it. Due to her recklessness and disregard for instructions, her second child has died. She got a pass on the first one, even though there was negligence involved. But she didn't get a pass on this one.” The Florida woman arrested on December 20 will face a bail hearing on January 10. The husband who was at home at the time of the child's death, but not in the same room has not been charged and is not expected to

Wow! That was the first word that got into my mind when I heard professor Idler talked about this case. I am from the Dominican Republic, the first time I came to this country was in 2006 and this case happened in 2001. At the same time, I also got surprise since it was an extremely serious case and I did not hear about it in my country. I personally think that the best decision was to put her in jail because she needed to be more responsible of her mental problem and not to stay quiet. I still cannot find a reason on how can you kill your five children. It is still sad because I consider that Andrea Yates had the perfect life that anybody wishes to have. She had a united family when she was younger, graduated with honors from high school, went to college and got her nursing degree, married her boyfriend, and had an awesome family with kids, what else can you ask for? Andrea loved to get things perfect and she never failed during all of her years, but sometimes is better to fail during your younger years then to your older years.

Though the judge didn't care what she had to say. If he were to respect her like a judge should do she would have been able to defend herself.
