Casey Anthony's Future
Today, a Florida jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of murder and abuse charges she has been facing since the 2008 disappearance and murder of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Casey has been serving jail time ever since her arrest after Caylee was found dumped in the woods near her home. Although she was found not guilty of serious charges, she was found guilty of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. Casey could face one year in jail for each count. Since Casey has been jailed for about three years, federal criminal lawyers feel that there is a possibility she will be freed on time-served at her sentencing hearing this Thursday.
Since the verdict was released to the public, many people are experiencing feelings of outrage and disbelief. Some are under the impression that Casey Anthony will probably go on to make a lot of money with book deals and interviews. Others feel that the prosecution in this case is at fault for the not guilty verdict. The prosecution did a poor job at proving exactly how Caylee died. They lacked strong evidence to support their claim that Casey Anthony drugged and suffocated her daughter then transported her dead body in the trunk of her car. Casey's federal defense attorney argued that Caylee was not murdered, but drowned accidentaly in the family pool.
This trial has caused a lot of stress to Casey, her family and her federal criminal lawyers. Various news reports say that her mom and dad haven't spoken with Casey since the verdict was presented. Casey and her family must now go on rebuilding their lives. Although we may never know what really happend to Caylee Anthony, there is closure for Casey and her family now that the trial is over.
