The Tragic Case Of Caylee Anthony’s Murder

The Verdict

While to the outside world, it seemed as though it was very clear what the verdict would be, there is never a true way to find out until it is issued. It took the jury just one day to determine Casey Anthony’s fate. They began deliberations on July 4, 2011 and on July 5 they issued their verdict. The jury found her not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and aggravated child abuse. She was found guilty of providing false information to law enforcement.
