The Casey Anthony trial and Caylee's law

By Amie Cappiello


Now days, it's found that Casey Anthony trial is getting highest clicks on online news channels and papers. Casey Anthony is sentenced for lying to officers on this Thursday, June 8th 2011. Casey Anthony is the mother of Florida toddler Caylee Anthony, who went missing in mid-June 2008. The body of Caylee Anthony was found on December 11, 2008, near the home of her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony. Anthony, Caylee's father did not report the disappearance until one month later Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, eventually reported to police that Caylee was missing.

The trial began with prosecutors asserting Casey smothered Caylee with duct tape on June 16, 2008, drove around with the body in her car trunk for several days, and then dumped the remains in woods near her family's home. Casey Marie Anthony, Caylee's mother was arrested on July 18, 2008 and indicted on charges of first degree murder on October 14, 2008, facing the death penalty. She explained that her child died accidentally by drowning in the family swimming pool and she showed herself as innocent. Defense counsel charged that Casey Anthony was being tried in the media to her great detriment while she was facing the death penalty. Media boosted the case and it became really sensational.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and aggravated child abuse on July 5th 2011. She was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. On July 7, 2011 she was sentenced to one year in jail and $1,000 in fines for each count. With credit for time served and good behavior, her release date was set for July 17, 2011. The case has been cited as an example of the unfairness of prejudicial pretrial publicity that impacts the rights of defendants in the United States

But with the startling turn in the case, there are Americans out there who want to prevent such a tragedy from happening to another child. More than 327,400 people have submitted signatures in support of Crowder's campaign as of 12:31 p.m. on Thursday. Another 18,933 have done so on the Create Caylee's Law page on the social networking site Facebook. It was proposed by Oklahoma State Representative Paul Wesselhoft. Wesselhoft says he plans to introduce Caylee's Law as a bill during the 2012 legislative session.
