About Death of Caylee Anthony in brief
Caylee Marie Anthony was reported missing on July 15, 2008. Casey Anthony was charged with first-degree murder in October 2008 and pleaded not guilty. On December 11, 2008, two-year-old Caylee’s skeletal remains were found with a blanket inside a laundry bag in a wooded area near the Anthony family’s house. On July 5, 2011, the jury found Casey not guilty of murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, but guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. With credit for time served, she was released on July 17, 2011. A Florida appeals court overturned two of the misdemeanor convictions on January 25, 2013. The not-guilty murder verdict was greeted with public outrage and was both attacked and defended by media and legal commentators. Some complained that the jury misunderstood the meaning of reasonable doubt, while others said the prosecution relied too heavily on the defendant’s allegedly poor moral character. The defense contended that Casey lied about this and other issues because of a dysfunctional upbringing, which they said included sexual abuse by her father. Time magazine described the case as \”the social media trial of the century\”. The defense team, led by Jose Baez, countered that the child had drowned accidentally in the family’s swimming pool on June 16, 2008,. The defense did not present evidence as to how Caylee died, nor evidence that Casey was sexually abused as a child.
It was eventually determined that a woman named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez did in fact exist, but that she had never met Casey, Caylee, any other member of theAnthony family, nor any of Casey’s friends. Casey’s mother Cindy asked repeatedly during the month to see Caylee. Casey claimed that she was too busy with a work assignment in Tampa, Florida. At other times, she said Caylee was with a nanny, who Casey identified by the name of Zenaida \”Zanny\” Fernandez-gonzalez, or at theme parks or the beach. Casey had talked about her parents for years, telling her parents she had been working at Universal Studios for a years. When questioned Casey told police that Caylee had been kidnapped by Zenaida, who she also identified as ‘Zanny’, but she also said she was also working at a Universal Studios. Casey said she had not seen Caylee for weeks, and that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body had been inside it. When the trunk was opened, it contained only a bag of trash. The medical examiner mentioned duct tape as one reason she ruled the death a homicide, but officially listed it as \”death by undetermined means\”. When the body was found, it was only a decomposing body in a blanket in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car. Casey told her mother Cindy: “There is something wrong in my daughter’s car and it smells like there’s been a deadBody in the damn car today. I found out today today”
