It is believed by most people, that Kaylee Anthony was killed by her mother. Although a jury found Casey Anthony not guilty, a finding of 'not guilty' of a crime does not equal 'innocent' of the crime. The police in the case did an extremely thorough investigation of the case; they exhausted every lead they could find and were unable to find any other person connected to the child except her mother, who was the child's guardian and responsible for the child's welfare at the time of her death. The only information that Casey Anthony would provide the investigators about the disappearance of Caylee was proven to be lies.
Caylee Anthony's body, when found, was too badly decomposed to determine the exact cause of death. The evidence in the case was circumstantial and the jury, although not sure of Casey's innocence said there was not enough information to prove her a murderer.
This case is very similar to the OJ Simpson case in the fact that public opinion and the jury's decision are going to be very different. The jury found her not guilty on July 5, 2011. Whether or not she is actually innocent is something that we will probably never know.
Is caylee anthonys father dead?

Will Casey Anthony be put to death?
Casey Anthony is a free woman who has completed serving her sentence for the crimes for which she was convicted. The jury at her trial acquitted her of all charges in relation to the death of her daughter. She was convicted only of the charges of lying to police on sworn statements. She was sentenced to four years in jail on those charges, less time served and time off for good behavior. She was released from jail on July 17, 2011 and faces no further criminal charges.
Can a judge call mistrial after a verdict?
If information becomes available to the judge that would indicate that under the law the defendant did not receive a fair trail due to this new information it is possible, but unlikely. And it would usually come before a verdict is reached by the jury.
It is also possible, but rarely seen, that a judge will put aside the jury's recommendation as to the punishment phase. In most states, the jury recommends death, life with no parole, ect. A judge can refuse the jury and make his own recommendation.
If a guilty verdict has been handed down and sentence is passed, it's a done deal. It would have to be corrected by a new trial or on appeal from a higher court. New trials are hard to come by. The evidence must be substantial to justify the time and expense to taxpayers that a new trial would generate.

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.

Why do people keep saying Casey Anthony is guilty when she was proven innocent?
The prosecution was unable to prove her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
She was convicted on a minor charge
Since she was convicted of the minor charge by definition she is not
Another Answer:
First, there is an enormous difference between "not guilty" and "innocent". The jury determined that the prosecution had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was guilty of the charges. That should not be interpreted as a finding of innocence.
Most of the public, and even a few jurors who have spoken publicly since the verdict, believe that she is probablyguilty. However, in the United States, "probable guilt" is not sufficient. The standard is "beyond any reasonable doubt", not "probably". Given the lack of some critical pieces of evidence, particularly the lack of a cause of death, the jury could not return a guilty verdict.
Public opinion does not conform to such a high standard of proof. Many people are enraged that someone who is probably guilty will go free. They do not understand that our legal system is based on the moral standard summarized by Blackstone's Formulation: "It is better that ten guilty persons go free than one innocent person be punished".

The body was completely decomposed making it impossible for an autopsy to determine a cause of death. The last person to be seen with Caylee was her mother Casey Anthony. Casey never reported the child missing. The child's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, having become frantic as a result of not seeing Caylee for 31 days, called 911 to report the child missing and that her daughter Casey claimed the child had been kidnapped.
A missing child investigation was immediately launched by the Orange County (FL) sheriff's department but was immediately roadblocked by Casey Anthony telling them lies, misdirecting the investigation, and refusing to cooperate in any real way with the investigation. Because of her lies and her suspicious behavior during the 31 days that the child was missing, a grand jury indicted Casey Anthony for capital murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
