Abstract
Casey Anthony is the mother of Caylee Anthony who went missing in 2008. Her mother called the police to report her missing 31 days after her last sighting. During the investigation, Anthony lied to police on multiple occasions which lead them to arrest her for the murder of her daughter. Anthony was then charged with first degree murder along with aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. Caylee’s body was found shortly after the missing person's report, wrapped in a blanket near the Anthony’s home. Florida wanted the death penalty in the case against Casey Anthony with mostly circumstantial evidence. The defense wanted to show the conspiracies that led up to the case. Casey ended up being sentenced to four misdemeanor counts of lying to the police and multiple fines that she had to pay for the police investigation.
