Research Paper On Casey Anthony

After close review and careful analysis of the case of Andrea Yates and the circumstances which led to the drowning death and murder of her five children, I first would like to state my personal opinion on the conclusion of the case which was the majority consensus at the time of her trial and sentencing. She was guilty of a horrible murder and although certainly had mental problems, which is apparent by her actions that most completely rational thinking human being and mother would be incapable of committing, and expertly

On July 5, 2001, the jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, or aggravated manslaughter of a child, but she was guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer during investigations. Having previously served time awaiting the

The “performers” of the trial played a crucial role in the trial, the verdict and the informal perceptions of Casey Anthony. The prosecutor and defense both played contrasting roles in shaping their client/opponent legally and informally, in the media. The

Her trial, which started 10 months after the murders, was lead by what towns’ people called the “dream team” of lawyers. The jury had 12 men on it that believed that she was not guilty because after they showed her the skull of her father in court, she fainted, and because she was a girl. They thought that no girl was capable of committing such a crime.

On July 5, 2011, during all deliberations Casey was found guilty for false information that she was providing. However, she was found Not Guilty for 1st degree murder, Child Abuse,

Going to school, attending college, and getting married are a few of the many activities Caylee Anthony will never get to experience. When Caylee went missing and was later found dead in 2008, her entire future ended abruptly. Whether the Anthony family murdered Caylee as a scapegoat for their own problems or Caylee 's death was a tragic accident, no one was convicted for her death. Although never brought to court, evidence suggests George Anthony killed his granddaughter, Caylee, and manipulated the evidence to direct the public’s eye away from himself.

Casey must be guilty because she had some motivation to kill her child and there is

Caylee Anthony was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy, on July fifthtenth. Her body was found in a wooded area near her home on December eleventh. Casey Anthony was later arrested for child neglect. The jury should have charged and sentenced Casey with the murder of Caylee for these reasons: she lied to the police multiple times during her integration, for example her saying that Caylee was kidnapped by her nanny, another reason being that there were no other suspects that had the motive to partake in this murder, lastly the medical records all point back to Casey for more reasons

During, her crime Andrea showed a complete lack of empathy for the lives of her children. One can argue it was brought on by her psychosis, and postpartum depression. It usually said that girl are more likely to show empathy than boys. Given, it was a women, and the societal expectation would be that she should be caring and loving of her children. However, given her mental illness, Andrea was unable to feel those emotions during her crime. Once she was treated, and attended trial you can see that she was remorseful, about what she had done to her children. Sadly, the mental illness had Andrea unable to process any emotions properly. She seem to be hurt that she had done such a crime to her children. One can see how powerful, lack of empathy can play in the role of crime. We see a mother, who temporary lost her since on empathy could do to her own children. One could only imagine that crimes, and acts a person could commit without that taught

On July 15, 2008, Cindy Anthony called the police saying her daughter Casey Anthony stole her car and some money. Later that same day the police received another call from the same person saying that her granddaughter Caylee Anthony had been gone for over a month. When this was heard, they knew they had a big case on their hands. The mother Casey Anthony was taken into custody and told many lies concerning the whereabouts of her daughter. The police began to investigate and found some interesting things that could very well prove Casey Anthony guilty of kidnapping and murder of her own daughter.

The topic of aborting an innocent fetus has been overwhelmingly controversial in the United States. The two sides to this ongoing debate is pro-life advocates and pro-choice advocates. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus; whether it is an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. Abortions are most often performed during the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy and can be performed as a medical or surgical procedure. Medical abortions include two types of abortion pills; while the surgical procedures include vacuum aspiration and dilation and evacuation. Ultimately, I am one of the many “pro-lifers”, and I strongly agree that abortion should be illegal because it negatively affects our people. Women across the nation are becoming impregnated and following a short amount of judgement time, turn to abortion to solve their problems but in the end hurt themselves with this decision. Abortions should be illegal because it is immoral and unconstitutional, causes severe mental and physical issues, and negatively impacts the economy. “During the ancient Roman times it has been supposed that abortion and the destruction of unwanted children was permissible, but as our civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, Canada along with most other nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life”

Weeks before the call, the vehicle Casey had been driving was found abandoned. The tow truck driver who found the vehicle told officers that the vehicle had a smell as if something had been decomposing. The tow truck driver compared the smell to a similar situation where he found an abandoned truck with a dead man’s body laying inside. Along with the horrible smell inside the vehicle; hair and a black plastic bag were found in the trunk of the car. Also found was what it seemed to be blood. On July 16 Casey Anthony was charged with first-degree murder, child neglect, aggravated child abuse and four counts of lying to detectives. On December 11, 2008 Caylee’s body was found wrapped inside a plastic bag, her body was decomposed and her skull only

During the summer time of 2008 Casey Anthony was facing first degree murder charges; she also had charges for misleading statements and on aggravated child abuse all leading into the connection of little Caylee Anthony death which was her daughter. Caylee was last seen on the June 16th of 2008. In July 15th she became the subject of a missing persons report. Casey didn’t report her child missing right away she waited an entire month to file a report on her missing daughter. Investigators believe and suspect that her mother Casey used chloroform to put Caylee to sleep before she died of suffocation. Caylee had duct tape around her nose and mouth. This is when Casey gave false statements about taking her daughter to the nanny’s house.
