The Casey Anthony Trial is an infamous case globally, and is one that even presently covers the headlines of newspapers and tabloid magazines. The case follows the disappearance, and murder of two year old Caylee Anthony, who lived in Orlando, Florida, with her mother Casey Anthony, and grandparents, Cindy and George Anthony. The events of the case all began on July 15, 2008, when Caylee was reported missing by a 9-1-1 phone call made by her grandmother Cindy, thirty-one days after her being missing. In this phone call Cindy as well reported how her daughter’s car had the lingering smell of a dead body.

Casey Anthony is a ruthless and pathological liar, traits of her that were presented countless times in court. She was born on March 19, 1986 to Cindy and George Anthony who worked in law enforcement.

All these actions committed by Casey would only be committed by someone who is guilty and afraid of having the truth of their crimes
