Casey Anthony
When looking at the death of Kallie Anthony, there is so much that is unknown about the actual events that lead to the loss of her life. The child’s grandmother stated to law enforcement that she and her husband had not seen the child in weeks and that their daughter Casey Anthony, the child’s mother, and told them lies on the location of the child (Battaglia, 2012). We see that at this time in the chain of events that Casey Anthony was attempting to mislead her parents of the location of her daughter Kallie, the lies told at this time were a choice made by Casey (Williams & Arrigo, 2012). We see that at this point and time in the chain of events that Casey should have chosen to have told the truth of what happened to her daughter.When law enforcement officers arrived to discuss the missing child and started an investigation …show more content…

With the child abuse/neglect proven in the court of law, we see that the actions taken by Casey prove that she made poor choices as a mother in the care of her child (Williams & Arrigo, 2012). There was a question about the stability of Casey with her mental health that could have led her to not only abuse/neglect her child, but also to murder her child, and attempt to make claims of sexual assault by her father (Williams & Arrigo, 2012). The jury in the case heard all of the evidence first hand and was also able to have the environment of the trial with them during the process of the trial. I think that the jury was in the best place to determine guilt or innocents in this case. The jury found Casey Anthony not guilty to the death of her daughter, and I must trust in them to have the judgment to the detriment that guilt. I do not think that guilt was proven that Casey killed her daughter

    Upon arriving he described her as distraught and extremely upset. Her original story said that she left her baby with a sitter when she left and returned to her deceased baby; however, when asked what happened in detail she changed her story. This second response said, “I remember making airline reservations for my trip. Then I tried to find a baby sitter, but I couldn’t. I knew that I was leaving Alison alone and that I wouldn’t be coming back for a while, but I had to get to California at all costs. I visited my mother and then left.” The information provided by Policeman A provided valuable information and was certainly credible. The defendant was negligent of the child and clearly stated that she knew she was leaving behind her daughter even though she could not find a sitter, which also showed she knew from right and…

    The case of six-year old Adam Walsh is perhaps one that will never leave the minds of anyone initially horrified by its details. In 1981 young Adam was kidnapped from a local mall and regardless of tireless efforts by his parents John and Reve Walsh, volunteers, and law enforcement; Adam fell victim to murder.

    After 33 days of testimony, 400 pieces of evidence and over 90 witnesses the jury on the Casey Anthony trial reached a verdict. The case was mostly circumstantial, but as it unfolded it portrayed her as a self-centered cold blooded killer. On July 5, 2011 America witnessed Casey Anthony being acquitted of murdering her 2 year old daughter Caylee Anthony. To many people around the nation the “not guilty” verdict represented a failure in our justice system to mete out justice the public determined was merited. The verdict is a perfect example of our judicial system working ineffectively and letting yet another murderer to be free. Casey Anthony who was arrested in 2008 on the charge of murdering Caylee Anthony was acquitted of all charges except for lying to police multiple times about her daughter. The delivery of the verdict not only caused the court clerk to pause and recompose herself, but caused a general disdain throughout the country for how our justice system treats certain people.…

    My opinion of the case changed as the movie progressed, and did not stay the same throughout the entire movie. In the beginning I felt that the teenage boy was guilty and that the facts were too evident and clear, but slowly I was so fascinated by juror 8’s logic and his thinking ability, it got me interested and swayed my vote for “not guilty” I also believed what juror 8 was saying by his tone of voice, which was clear and rhetorical. He showed the panel a rough estimate on how long it would take for the father to get stabbed, walk with a limp, and still call for help.…

    Children are susceptible to peer pressure. They are impelled to say things that are not true just to please certain people, or to stop brutal interrogations. In both cases people were urged to “believe in the children.” They were heedless of the fact that there was no strong evidence to back up any of the stories, which also varied (Source C). Parents in the McMartin Trial were encouraged to sit their kids down and have them questioned for two hours. These types of allegations destroy careers and change (innocent) lives forever. A member of the jury told reporters: “The interview tapes were too biased; too leading.” (Source E)…
