Today the jury selection began in what is called a trial to rival the sensationalism of the OJ Simpson trial which was considered the most publicized criminal trial back in 1995. The trial of Casey Anthony is the biggest trial in Central Florida's history and it is only just beginning.
Casey Anthony, 25, is the mother of Caylee Anthony, who went missing back in the summer of 2008 and whose skeletal remains were found a few months later less than a mile from her home.
The story of the missing Florida toddler pointed to the mother from day one. In the court of public opinion, Casey Anthony has already been tried and convicted. Here is some back story and you see if you agree.
Casey Anthony lived with her parents, George and Cyndi and her 2 year old toddler. Many sources say that the loving grandmother was overly attached to her only grandchild and this caused a lot of tension between Casey and Cyndi.
Some neighbors reported that the night before Caylee was last seen, Casey and her mother had a huge argument. Casey left the home with her daughter and as her mother Cyndi later reported, was going to go away for a few days with her daughter. No one ever saw Caylee alive again.
Casey and Caylee were living with the Anthonys and when they did not hear from their daughter or see their granddaughter, they tried to get in touch with her by telephone. Casey refused to come home and did not tell her parents that her daughter was not with her.
When Cyndi Anthony finally did track her daughter down, she demanded to know where her granddaughter was. After Cyndi got tough with her daughter, Casey finally admitted that she hadn't seen her daughter in a month and that the babysitter had taken her. Outraged, Cyndi called the police. Casey alleged that she had been looking for her child on her own in the month that she was missing. Unfortunately, she failed to tell anyone that her daughter had been taken and while she was allegedly "looking" for her daughter she was actually out partying as photos which later surfaced showed.
Casey had abandoned her car and when her parents went to retrieve it, her mother made the infamous 911 call in which she stated that it smelled like a dead body had been in the car. Cyndi Anthony later said that the smell had been from a pizza left in the trunk.
When questioned by the police, Casey appeared to be anything but a mom who was worried about the welfare of her child. She continually lied to the police and they caught her in several lies.
A media frenzy began as soon as the story hit the airwaves. People camped outside of the Orlando area home of the Anthonys, holding signs saying "baby killer" and harassing the Anthony family whenever they stepped outside of their home.
Casey Anthony was eventually arrested and charged with her daughter's disappearance. While in jail, taped conversations between Casey and her parents and brother were broadcast on television programs like Nancy Grace . Nancy dissected every word that Casey said and publicly criticized the mother for her lack of concern for her missing toddler.
In September of 2008, the skeletal remains of Caylee Anthony were found less than 1 mile from the home that she lived in with her mother and grandparents. Although the death was ruled a homicide, it will be hard to prove that the child was murdered. The case is a death penalty case which means that the prosecution has their hands full.
They need to prove that Casey Anthony in fact murdered her child.
Casey Anthony was an unwed mother and in fact, her parents do not even know who the father of their granddaughter is. Casey simply told them that he had been killed in a car accident. It was obvious that George and Cyndi were providing both their daughter and granddaughter with a home and supported them both financially. Although they "thought" their daughter had a job, they were unaware that she had been lying about not having a job at the time of Caylee's disappearance. As a matter of fact, it was found that Casey hadn't worked in quite some time.
Casey allegedly had a nanny although neither of her parents had ever met the woman. Both grandparents admitted that they often helped care for their granddaughter. If Casey indeed had a nanny, who was paying for it? Casey had no job.
Casey also had a problem with stealing money from her family, most disturbingly, she stole money that was in a fund to pay for her grandparents nursing care. She had used her mother's credit cards without permission and had even stolen a friend's checkbook and went on shopping sprees for herself. As a matter of fact, she originally called 911 to ask the police to arrest Casey for theft. It was shortly after that that Casey admitted that her daughter Caylee was missing.
She alleged to the police that her nanny Zenaida Gonzalez had taken Caylee. She even went so far as to take the police to the alleged apartment where she dropped Caylee off. The apartment was empty and no one named Zenaida had lived there. She was unable to produce anything but a vague description of a woman that no one had met.
As soon as this story hit the media, people were immediately outraged. What kind of mother doesn't report their child missing for 1 month? Had Cyndi Anthony not tracked down her daughter and demanded to know where her granddaughter was, how long would it have taken for her disappearance to be known?
There has been so much drama while this case has been waiting to go to trial. Within the Anthony family, George Anthony tried to commit suicide, both he and Cyndi were forced by deposition to testify in the case that Zenaida Gonzalez filed against Casey Anthony and with their granddaughter dead, they are standing by their daughter.
Casey has been proven to be a liar but is she a murderer? The State of Florida will have their hands full trying to prove this case. We will be back daily to give our opinion about the case against Casey Anthony a.k.a. Tot Mom.
