Many of us have been captivated by this trial since it began in May 9 of this summer and until the surprise ending five days ago on July 5. Casey Anthony was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer, for the case of her murdered two year old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony.

Caylee Marie Anthony was missing for a whopping 31 days before reported missing to the police by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. After repeatedly given excuses to by daughter Casey Anthony of her whereabouts, Cindy Anthony took action by paying a surprise visit to Casey and demanding to know where baby Caylee was. During those 31 days that baby Caylee was missing, mother Casey Anthony was hanging out with then boyfriend, Tony Lazarro,attending clubs and a "Hot-Body Contest", and getting a "Bella Vita" tattoo, meaning "Beautiful Life" in Italian. Beautiful life? Really?
Casey repeatedly told her mother Cindy, as she was on the phone with a 9-1-1 dispatcher, that she was looking for Caylee on her own since she was kidnapped by nanny, Zenaida Gonzalez, whom never existed. She later changed her story and said that baby Caylee drowned in her backyard, above-ground pool and that her father, George Anthony had something to do with hiding the body. She threw her own father under the bus! She changed her story right after she took police to her former place of work at Universal Studios, where she was fired years before! She took them down the hallway, then turned around and admitted she no longer works there anymore. Casey Anthony is a patholigical liar.
When you hear all these different stories of what happened to her baby girl, what do you think? Guilty or Not Guilty of murder? I sure think Guilty, but the 12 jurors thought differently.
Casey Anthony was found NOT GUILTY of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child. She was only found GUILTY on four counts of lying to law enforcement. Chief judge in Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit, Judge Belvin Perry, Jr. gave Casey four years in prison for lying to law enforcement and a fine of $1,000 for each count. BUT she is receiving credit for her three years already spent in jail AND because of her good behavior, meaning she will be a free woman this Sunday, July 27, 2011.
I find this outrageous. What do you all think about the turnout of this case?
RIP Caylee Marie Anthony
