The jury declined to convict her of either first degree murder or manslaughter. Casey Anthony was found guilty of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. Attorney Jose Baez, held Casey Anthony's hand as she cried while the verdict was read. Casey's parents, Cindy and George Anthony, left the courtroom as Judge Belvin Perry read further instructions to the jury. Casey was fingerprinted in the courtroom for her conviction of providing false information to law enforcement. Casey will be sentenced on the guilty counts on Thursday morning. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton, entered the courtroom to roaring applause. He left hanging his head.<br /><br />At the beginning, Legal Pub cautioned not to rush to judgment. The reason for the early warning was because cases must be decided on evidence, not sympathy, prejudice or innuendo. Jeff Ashton chose to prove that Casey Anthony was a liar and a party animal. He chose to make her look like a bad person. Well he proved his point by winning the battles. Unfortunately, he lost sight of what it takes to prove murder. In hindsight, many commentators will admit that he should never have tried to prove first degree murder. Most believe Caylee's death was an accident. Subsequent coverup, probably. Murder? Not likely.Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-5915209452853343142011-06-13T11:03:28.162-05:002011-06-13T11:03:28.162-05:00Update 6-13-11: Chief Medical Examiner for Orange/...Update 6-13-11: Chief Medical Examiner for Orange/Osceola Counties, Dr. Jan Garavaglia, testified that Caylee's death was a homicide.

One major issue is whether the prosecution may use Casey Anthony's statements. Casey Anthony's lawyer, Cheney Mason, wants to exclude statements Casey gave to police back in mid-July 2008. They also want to keep statements she gave her parents and brother while she was in jail out of evidence. Defense attorney Cheney Mason argues that the statements can't be used because Casey was never read her Miranda rights. <br /><br />Apparently, Casey was handcuffed, placed in the back of a patrol vehicle and questioned by police while being driven around all without ever being told she had the right to be quiet and ask for a lawyer. If true, this may be a major mistake by the police. It is hard to argue that Casey was not "in custody" throughout this interview. "She was never informed that she had the right to leave or terminate questioning," argued Mason. Articulate prosecutor, Linda Drane Burdick, emphasized that law enforcement's initial involvement that night was "to help her and her family find her daughter. That's what they were there for. That's what they were doing there." She also argued that a "temporary detention" is "not an arrest." <br /><br />Judge Perry has the rulings under advisement. The trial is expected to start in May of 2011.Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-46546445917021536432010-04-12T07:41:49.881-05:002010-04-12T07:41:49.881-05:00Update 4-12-10: As 24 year old Casey Anthony sits ...Update 4-12-10: As 24 year old Casey Anthony sits in jail awaiting trial for homicide, does her jail time conduct get her convicted or establish an insanity defense? Main stream media has reported that the prosecution has secured letters between Casey Anthony and Robyn Adams, another inmate, at a Florida jail which may harm Casey's chance of an acquittal. While the 258 pages of letters do not contain a confession, they do make Casey look bad. But could that be a good thing for the defense? Anthony wrote letters containing negative remarks about her family and about her former boyfriend, Jesse Grund. According to Casey, she was relieved when DNA tests proved he wasn't Caylee's father. MyFoxOrlando.com. <br /><br />But how did this communication between inmates occur? Anthony is incarcerated at the Orange County Jail under a protective-custody status. This status prohibiting her from directly communicating with other inmates.<br />This would include a ban on all note passing. The assumption is that a county corrections officer may have helped the women communicate. Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland initially delayed publicizing the letters until Anthony's lawyers had time to read them.<br /><br />In a surprising move, Anthony's lead defense attorney, Jose Baez, said he was not concerned with the letters. One has to wonder why? Do they support the contention that the death was an accidental overdose? If Caylee had used chemicals (possibly chloroform) to sedate Caylee in the past, then is it possible Anthony gave her too much this time? Since intent to kill is an element of the crime, this may set up the possibility of a conviction of a lesser crime than homicide. At this point, that might be considered a great victory for Ms. Anthony.Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-62377508067663915582009-04-14T07:42:00.000-05:002009-04-14T07:42:00.000-05:00Update 4-14-09: Florida state attorney's office an...Update 4-14-09: Florida state attorney's office announced it will seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony.

From the very beginning she never showed the least bit of anxiety or distress or even apprehension over her daughters disappearance. <BR/><BR/>During her court appearances since the discovery of the remains she has looked more concerned about her appearance than the fate of her daughter. Zero…zip…nada…no sadness over the death and dumping of her daughter. Just anger that her ‘liberty to party’ has been taken away. <BR/><BR/>As far as she’s concerned it’s still (as always) “me…me…me”. She deserves no comfort because she gave none. She deserves no mercy because she showed none. She deserves justice but her law whore “experts” will use their expertise to do everything they can to discredit the forensic sciences that they know will prove her guilt. <BR/><BR/>That’s how this will play out, like a train wreak. A “three ring circus” train wreak. Not able to present any innocence, and now that Baden’s involved, the defense will try for the “OJ” defense. They’ll attack the handling of evidence and keep punching away for a TKO (Technical Knock Out). Instead of seeking justice for all concerned they’ll be looking for the least little mistake to create a seed of doubt to save the day for their client. <BR/><BR/>Typical American Injustice. Frankly it disgusts me because with all of the notoriety and insanity we seemed to have forgotten the victim. Her two year old toddler daughter.
