                                             The Casey Anthony Trial

            Casey Anthony was on trial for the murder of her daughter, two year old Caylee Anthony. Caylee had been missing for over thirty days before she was reported missing. Casey Anthony was out partying for those thirty days that Caylee had been missing and told lie after lie to everyone about the whereabouts of Caylee. Caylee was found dead in a forest less than a mile away from the Anthony’s home. Caylee’s body was decomposing by the time authorities found her. High levels of chloroform were found in Caylee’s decomposed body. After finding the body Casey Anthony was immediately taken into custody. Casey sat in jail for two years before her case actually went to trail. Casey Anthony was on trail for six weeks until the jury found her not guilty for the murder of her child Caylee.

            Casey Anthony’s actions during the time that her daughter had been missing were very dishonorable and questionable. Casey was out partying with friends at bars, dancing on tables, and even got a tattoo on her back with the meaning “beautiful life”. Casey’s actions just during that thirty day time period make her look very suspicious, and guilty in my opinion. Casey was the prime suspect in this case; authorities contacted her wanting information about Caylee. Casey had composed a few different stories to tell, but all were lies. She had told police that she dropped Caylee off with a nanny. The nanny was identified and questioned, but had no idea who Casey or Caylee was. That is just one example for Casey Anthony lies.

            Casey Anthony had been lying to everyone including her own family; her mother Cindy was the first person to contact police that Cylee was missing. In the police call you can hear Cindy’s heartbreaking, she’s very upset. Casey never really showed any emotions of being upset or heartbroken, which is very unusual for a mother who’s two year old is missing. Not only did Cindy report her granddaughter missing she also told police that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body was in it. That is a major red flag to me that Casey is guilty.

            Casey Anthony should have been changed with the murder of her two year old Caylee. By just taking a deeper look into Casey’s actions during the thrifty day period of Caylee missing makes her guilty in my book. She acts so happy go lucky when in reality her is a murder. Casey Anthony did not go to jail for murder but she diffidently has so very bad karma coming her way.
