There is evidence that Casey Anthony lived an immature lifestyle for a mother, but there is not enough evidence to prove that she is guilty for the murder of her daughter. In order for one to understand that Casey Anthony is not guilty for the murder of her daughter, they must take a look at her background, the evidence of the murder, the trial, and the public’s reaction to the case. Along with these significant points, they must ask themselves the same question Jose Baez once wondered, “Why did George Anthony try to kill himself?”. The clues that point to Casey as the murderer equally point right back to George. In Warren, Ohio on March 19, 1986, Casey Marie Anthony was born. She was the youngest child of the family. She has an older brother, …show more content…

However, this secret was not easy to hide. Casey’s mother, Cindy Anthony, believed her when she told her that she was a virgin. While her family just assumed she was gaining weight, seven months later the pregnancy was obvious. A friend of Casey’s shared that Casey did not want to have the child. At her young age she was not ready for a responsibility like that. This could be a main factor as to why she kept it a secret for so long. She was also concerned what her family would think. However, Cindy, her mother, insisted that she keep it instead of giving the child up for adoption. At the time Casey was engaged to a man named Jesse Grund (“Casey Anthony Bio.”).

She reported a missing child this time. She told the operator that Casey would not tell her where her granddaughter was and that she had stolen her money. While the police were on their way to the Anthony’s home, Lee cracked Casey. He was trying to persuade Casey to tell them where the three-year old was to make things easier, rather than getting the police involved. Casey eventually cracked and informed Lee that she had not seen Caylee in thirty-one days. When Cindy overheard this information she called 9-1-1 again. This time Cindy stated that the child had been missing for a month and her nanny was the last person she had been seen with. Informing them that Casey said she was looking for Caylee through other sources, she also reported the strong stench she had smelt in Casey’s car. George Anthony arrived at his house before the police did. His response to the news was short.
