Well, yes. When a guy was peeing he saw a bag and kicked it to see if anything was there. And a skull rolled out. FBI says it is the body of a young child. It was in a river for 6 months and now someone must of saw it, take it out of the river, and lay it on the ground. The head was covered in duct tape.

Did Casey kill Caylee?

It's important to understand that our judicial system is not without it's flaws. Sometimes innocent people are convicted of crimes they did not commit. Other times, the guilty go free. It is also important to point out that circumstantial evidence and a case based on this type of evidence is every bit as damning as physical evidence, which is why it is given great weight under the laws of our country.

This being said, it would be virtually impossible, based on this evidence, that Casey Anthony was not responsible for the death of her daughter. As was with the case of Scott Peterson, piece by piece, the evidence leaves only one option, the guilt of Casey Anthony.

Why the jury was blind to this evidence is unknown since they have all refused to speak about the case in general, the verdict specifically. The way it looks, the verdict was arrived at because of 'case not proven'. In other words, the burden of guilt falls to the prosecution. They must prove that Anthony is guilty. If there is reasonable doubt, the jury could and should aquit. Not that she wasn't guilty but that the prosecution could not prove it, in their opinion.

But for the rest of the world it is hard to understand how they could discount the viable evidence the prosecution presented. When dealing with humans and their emotions, nothing is a sure thing.

Was Casey Anthony jury unanimous?

In the guilt phase of a criminal trial a jury that is not unanimous is considered a 'hung jury'. At the point where jurors are hopelessly deadlocked the judge will dismiss them and the prosecution must decide to retry the case. If they feel it's a strong case most prosecutors will try the case again. This leaves everyone back at square one. Jury selection begins and the entire process is repeated with the new jurors. It's expensive for taxpayers and torture for the family members of the victim(s) and the accused. The only bright spot is that both the prosecution and the defense get a second chance to correct any errors they may have made during the first trial.

Is George Anthony the biological father of Casey Anthony?

Yes. He was also tested to be Casey's daughter's (Caylee) father on the basis that he molested Casey, and he was cleared of being the father. There has been no evidence that George molested Casey. Casey became pregnant at 19 and the father is not publicly known.

Is casey Anthony alike with any of the Greek Gods?

What sentence is Casey Anthony facing on fraud charges?

Has Amanda Knox befriended Casey Anthony?

Amanda Knox has not befriended Casey Anthony. The media is just making it out to be something that it's not. However, the public would definitely love to see them befriend each other so that there would be more gossip.

How did Casey Anthony kill Caylee?

Under US law, a person charged with a crime is considered innocent by the court until such a time that a case has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt against them (that's reasonable doubt, not beyond a shadow of a doubt). The case is currently being presented to a jury (May through July 2011 approximately) and the cause of the child's death was never determined. How the child died is not the matter being decided at trial, only if Casey Anthony deliberately killed her or that the child died accidently from an act of child abuse.

Update:According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty in the death of her daughter on July 5, 2011.

Casey Anthony investigation released 1000 pages of documents?

When did Casey kill her Caylee?

Caylee Anthony died sometime in the middle of June 2008. Due to the complete decomposition of her remains, the exact date and cause of her death remains unknown. Her mother, Casey Anthony, was acquitted of all charges relating to the child's death by a jury at trial on July 5, 2011.

Where can you watch the Casey Anthony trial from beginning to end?

I would try YouTube or Google. Many news websites streamed it live, but since it has passed I am not sure the video is still there to view. And then of course you can wait for it to come on Court TV or a television station that airs trials.

Did Casey Anthony kill her own daughter?

According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty in the death of her daughter on July 5, 2011.

A not guilty verdict does not necessarily mean that she did not kill or cause the death of her daughter. It means that the jury did not find the evidence against her compelling enough to convict her. Many people still believe that she is responsible for the child's death. Witnesses testified that she was a great mother but we also know that Casey was adept at faking many things. Her supporters believe that she had no reason at all to kill her daughter, but one of the conflicts brought out at trial was Casey's issues with her mother's need to control her; that control was, in part, her mother's care and control of the child. She may have killed Caylee to break the control her mother exerted. An opinion of my own is that the child was three, soon to be four years old. Children of that age are well known for speaking what's on their mind and asking embarrassing questions out of honest curiosity. It's part of their intellectual development. Casey may have seen that her false life and her lies would soon be coming to light. The fact that the duct tape was not removed from the dead child is a hint at that possibility.

Since Casey Anthony can no longer be prosecuted further in the death of her daughter and no other suspects have come to light, we most likely will never know for sure who killed Caylee or why she died. Casey Anthony is legally not guilty of killing her daughter but the public is free to think what they like.

What is the stuff that Casey Anthony killed her daughter with?

According to the evidence presented by the prosecution in the trial of Casey Anthony, duct tape was the cause of the child's death by suffocation. The chemical, chloroform, may have been involved but because the child's body was fully decomposed when found, an official cause of death could not be determined.
