“The prosecutors painted a picture of Casey Anthony as a promiscuous party girl,unconcerned with her missing daughter, and responsible for her murder(Biography.com editors)” Which is exactly what she was. But no one knew if she really was responsible for her daughter's murder or not. “All the defense had to do was create a reasonable doubt and that's what they did.(Today.com)” It was hard telling how Caylee was killed with little evidence.

    I had never heard of the Andrea Yates case until now. After doing some research I learned that Andrea Yates was a mother that killed all five of her children by drowning them because she believed that if she didn’t her kids were going to go to hell. Andrea had also claimed to be a bad mother and after killing her children she called her husband and the police telling them that “it’s time.” Once the police came Andrea had admitted to everything and told the police that she needs to be punished. She went to trial and then went to a mental hospital.…

How could it be that this women, whom everyone was sure had murdered her child, walked away with only 4 misdemeanors? All of which were of making a false statement to law enforcement. Our justice system says that the innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Unfortunately because of that justice system there is no justice for Caylee Anthony. I believe what went wrong in the Casey Anthony case is as follows:…

She was born on March 19, 1986 to Cindy and George Anthony who worked in law enforcement.

    The defense believed Casey acted as if nothing had happened when Caylee drowned, due to the events that occurred in her past. Casey was supposedly molested when she was younger by her father, though there was no evidence. The defense said that because she had learned to keep that a secret most of her life, which was what made her keep her daughters drowning a secret as well. The prosecution on the other hand, believed she did it because she wanted her former life back. Casey Anthony had Caylee when she was 22 years old. At that age, people are learning through the actions they make. Adulthood was thrown in her face when she had Caylee. She did not get to experience the life her friends were now having. Therefore, in Casey’s mind the only way to get back the life she wanted was to kill her daughter. Weeks after her daughter goes missing, she goes back to this lifestyle, which in itself is a motive to eliminate her…

    The Casey Anthony Trial

    • 322 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I disagree that she is not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated manslaughter, or aggravated child abuse for the fact of how emotionless she was throughout the entire trial, and how lie after lie had come out of her mouth. I understand that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that she was guilty but all the evidence that had been found couldn't point to anyone else. I feel there was enough to prove that she was guilty just by how careless she seemed about all of it. The whole month Caylee was missing she was out drinking and partying. I believe she should have gotten more charges or stipulates just for the fact that she didn't report her daughter missing. I believe therein not doubt that she was involved with what happened to her daughter (Huffington Post).…

    My research argument examined multiple female serial killers and their crimes. Female serial killers have been around for years. The first female serial killer documented was Lavinia Fisher back in 1819 and there were thousands to follow after her.
