Is Casey Anthony in prison

Answer 1

Casey Anthony is in jail because her child is dead and the evidence suggests that she's the killer.

AnswerCasey Anthony was initially arrested based on her mother's report that she stole the car and money and checks. When the police responded to her mother's (Cindy Anthony) call that her daughter had stolen the car and that her grandchld, Caylee had been missing for over 30 days, they tried to question Casey in an effort to find her child, Casey would not give them answers and lied in what she did tell them. The theft and the obsturction of the investigation is what she was originally arrested for.

Casey is currently being tried (June-July 2011) with felony murder of her daughter. Although the State of Florida is including premeditation in their charge against her, it is not necessary for them to prove the premditation. In Florida, felony murder can be charged even if the death of the child was accidental, if it can prove that she died in the commission of another crime. The other crime is child abuse based on the chloroform found in her car and the Duct Tape found wrapped around the head of the child's body.

UpdateAccording to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty on July 5, 2011.

After calculating the time she had spent in jail awaiting trial, her release date was scheduled for July 17, 2011. She is now a free woman having completed serving her sentence.
