Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty
Casey Anthony has been found not guilty of first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee. She was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
The verdict, reached by the seven-woman, five-man jury, caps a trial that stretched to more than six weeks and featured allegations of sexual abuse, questions regarding Casey Anthony's competence and various theories on what happened to the 2-year-old.
Casey Anthony, 25, was charged with seven counts -- first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to a law-enforcement officer in Caylee's 2008 disappearance and death.
Prosecutors alleged Casey Anthony used chloroform to render her daughter unconscious and then duct-taped her mouth and nose to suffocate her. They alleged that she put the child's body in the trunk of her car for a few days before disposing of it. Caylee's skeleta l remains were discovered December 2008.
Casey Anthony's defense attorneys maintained that Caylee was not murdered at all. They said the child drowned in the Anthony's above-ground pool on July 16, and that Casey Anthony and her father, George Anthony, panicked upon finding her there and covered up the death. George Anthony denied that in his testimony. –CNN Reports
In some indirect way, Casey Anthony’s trial brought back memories of the O.J. Simpson’s trial, both of which I followed closely. O.J. Simpson’s verdict totally surprised me. However, Casey Anthony’s verdict didn’t.
I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that both O.J. and Casey killed their victims and both walked free. In both trials, the evidence simply did not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they killed. Nevertheless, what evidence didn’t prove, the individuals themselves reeked with quilt.
Neither O.J. nor Casey can never be brought to trial for their deeds again and the mystery surrounding their cases will never be solved … for now anyway. One day, however, both O.J. and Casey will have to stand before the judgment seat of eternity to give their account and it will be interesting to hear the truth that eluded us here in the meantime.
It is sad that Caylee Anthony will never rest in peace … her murder unsolved, her murderer never brought to justice. Nevertheless, Caylee is now in a much better place … basking in the warm and gentle light of heaven never again to be thrown away like trash.
