Casey Anthony Evidence

1130 Words5 Pages

Who was the law named after? Caylee Marie Anthony, a two-year-old girl, lived in Orlando, FL with her mother, Casey Anthony, and her grandparents. In July 2008, Caylee's grandmother, Cindy, called 911 to report her granddaughter missing, stating she had not seen her for 31 days. Casey, Caylee’s mother, continued to provide conflicting alibies and stories as to the whereabouts regarding her daughter. It took until December 2008 to find Caylee's remains inside a trash bag in a wooded area near the family home. The medical examiner ruled Caylee’s death a homicide by undetermined means. According to reports, her bones did not show evidence of trauma; however, duct tape had been found in the bag located near or on Caylee's head, possibly used …show more content…

Casey Anthony was acquitted of her daughter’s death in July 2011 and maintains her innocence to this day. However, she did serve time for providing false information to a law enforcement officer during her daughter’s investigation. According to Mary Bowerman’s March 2017 article, “Casey Anthony Probably Killed Her Daughter, But by Accident, Judge Says,” retired Judge Perry, who presided over the case, believes Casey may have accidentally killed her daughter. Evidence showed Casey researched the use of chloroform prior to Caylee’s death, and the judge presumes "...She may have utilized [chloroform] to keep the baby quiet ... and just used too much of it, and the baby died” (Bowerman). No one will ever know the real circumstances regarding Caylee’s early demise, but the case made national coverage and motivated activists to propose new …show more content…

The death of Caylee polarized two separate groups. Groups outraged by Casey Anthony’s acquittal of first degree murder supported the idea of Caylee’s Law. Those in support of a new law believed Casey played a vital role in her daughter’s death, due to her inconsistent alibies and not reporting her daughter’s disappearance to proper authorities. Ms. Crowder, of Oklahoma, started the Caylee’s Law petition online at Change.org, because like many others, she viewed Caylee’s case as tragic and saw no reason for another case like that to occur again. Supporters irritated by the lack of legal guardianship oversight of a two-year-old child, wanted others, legal guardians, to be accountable for children under their

    With jury selections weeks prior to the trial, the Anthony trial moved the case to Clearwater, Florida instead of Orlando due to the amount of publicity of the case and their needs of a fair trial. One of the most interesting and most valuable theories the appellants attorneys came up was that Caylee’s death was due to an accident drowning in the family’s backyard pool, and that the month-long delay of reporting the child missing was due to the panic between Casey and George Anthony. According to Crime Museum, “Casey’s behavior afterwards–lying to her friends and family about her daughter’s whereabouts, as well as partying at local clubs–resulted from a lifelong habit of hiding her pain, according to her lawyer. They alleged that this habit was formed in her childhood because her father sexually abused her”.
