There's no one I loved more than my daughter. She's my greatest accomplishment. Cheney Mason told Morgan, "She said that to you without any prompting, without any rehearsal, without any lawyering whatsoever. She also reportedly told Morgan , "I'm 26 now and I've been through hell I'm not making gazillions of dollars at the hands of other people, or trying to sell myself to anyone willing to throw a couple of dollars at me.
The caricature of me that is out there, it couldn't be further from the truth. Belvin Perry, the judge who presided over the murder trial, said on Today in , "There were two sides to Casey Anthony. There was the side that was before the jury, where she portrayed the role of a mother who had lost a child, someone who was wrongfully accused, and then you could notice the change and transformation in her when the jury went out.
She was very commanding, she took charge of different things, and you could see her sometimes scolding her attorneys. Perry recalled her reaction when Baez discussed a plea deal for aggravated manslaughter with his client. So upset that one counselor suggested that she was incompetent to proceed. In his best-selling book Presumed Guilty — Casey Anthony: The Inside Story , Baez questioned why authorities weren't more suspicious of Casey's father, alleging there was "always something hard to understand about George's behavior.
Rob Lowe played Florida State Attorney Jeff Ashton who would make headlines in when his name was found on the leaked list of Ashley Madison users after the affair facilitator was hacked—Ashton publicly apologized , maintaining that he was curious and signed up but never used it to have an affair in the Lifetime movie Prosecuting Casey Anthony.

Casey was sentenced to a year of probation in for check fraud. Her life went on , relatively quietly in the face of all the notoriety. She's recognizable in public, such as when she attended an anti-Trump rally in West Palm Beach in February , but she has remained one of those infamous characters whom people will claim they wish they could forget and yet want to know more about at the same time. In November she filed to register a company called Case Photography.
Since at least , the now year-old Casey has been living with Patrick McKenna , 72, a private investigator who worked for the defense on her case and for the O.
Simpson defense team back in the s. She was said to be working for him, doing online research and social media searches. On May 23 she caught the attention of TMZ when she called to report that she'd been assaulted by another woman at a bar in West Palm Beach.
I would like to make an official report. No one was arrested, but the incident report stated that she and a woman were fighting over a guy they'd both dated in the past. The other woman told Fox News in June that the altercation had "zero to do with an ex-boyfriend. There's more to it I wish to not say. In a series of exclusive interviews with the Associated Press in March , her first time speaking directly to a news organization since the trial, Casey presented herself as the victim of the public's rush to judgment.
My sentence was doled out long before there was a verdict. Sentence first, verdict afterward. People found me guilty long before I had my day in court. As to what really happened to Caylee, she said, "Everyone has their theories. I don't know. As I stand here today I can't tell you one way or another. The last time I saw my daughter I believed she was alive and was going to be OK, and that's what was told to me. But at the end of the day, "I don't give a s--t about what anyone thinks about me, I never will.
I'm OK with myself, I sleep pretty good at night. July 5, : The trial's jury deliberated for 10 hours and 40 minutes before reaching a verdict. Casey was found not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child.
She was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to law enforcement. July 5, Casey Anthony's defense team surrounded her in a group hug after the thenyear-old was acquitted. July The not-guilty charge divided many people who followed the case. July Others, such as Tim Allen, right, and David Antolic, held signs of a different tone in front of a jail in Orlando on July 16, , the day before Anthony was released.
July 17, Casey was sentenced to four years in jail with credit for time served. Aftermath: Seven years after being acquitted of the death of her daughter, Casey Anthony, pictured here with her attorney Cheney Mason in , resides in West Palm Beach, Florida. In , Anthony told the Associated Press she's still not "certain Ultimately, the jury acquitted the young mother of the most serious charges against her.
Now 32 years old, Anthony is living not-quite-out-of-sight in her home state of Florida; just last year, she gave a widely covered interview with the Associated Press.
But the Casey Anthony case involved many other players. Ten years later, we spoke to some of those who were involved, to get their thoughts on how it played out and their perspective on why it struck such a chord with the public.
Here's what they had to say:. These statements have been edited for length and clarity. The Judge: 'What really happened? I thought the state had proved its case. I thought, while they may have had some flaws in their case, that there was a high probability that Casey would be found guilty of some form of homicide, and that did not occur.
A number of jurors said the reason that they came back with "not guilty" was because the state could not prove how Caylee died. The defense threw out a lot of theories.
They threw out that she drowned. They tried to build on the inference that the gate was open, and that the ladder was down and that she was known to go out of the door and go up to the pool because she liked water. I mean, there was no evidence that that happened. Those were inferences. But they were logical inferences that they were permitted based upon those slim factors to argue Justice is always served in a case where the facts are litigated before a jury, the jury looks at the law through their lens and they render a decision.
People may not agree with that decision, but when a case goes through the process that we have all agreed to live by, then justice is served.
Here we are, 10 years away from her death, and people still think about it. And there's one question that is on everyone's mind: What really happened? Until that question is answered, there will always be someone searching and someone wondering what that answer is. The Medical Examiner: 'Science took a backseat on the truth'. Jan Garavaglia, retired chief medical officer for Orange and Osceola counties. Looking back 10 years, what I was most appalled with was this lack of the truth and the lack of substantiated information.
You could just say lies and not back it up by any kind of evidence and it was allowed. That was a turning point for me. This has been happening more and more in the past 10 years, but for me that was the first time that I had to deal with it in society, that sometimes the truth doesn't matter and if you say it loud enough and often enough, people get confused and start believing you.
As a medical examiner, we're expected to do a few things: identify the body We don't look at just what the autopsy or just what the body shows we look at the scene, we look at the circumstances, we look at what's going on preceding the death.
And in this case, we have a child that is not reported missing. When the child is reported missing by the grandmother, there is no explanation that's credible of what happened to that child. The body has clearly, clearly been hidden. It has been put in two plastic bags, then put in a canvas bag and then thrown behind a rotting log a couple of blocks from her house.
And then we have the duct tape that's still present on the face. AP — Casey Anthony knows that much of the world believes she killed her 2-year-old daughter, despite her acquittal. I understand why people have the opinions that they do. Her responses were at turns revealing, bizarre and often contradictory, and they ultimately raised more questions than answers about the case that has captivated the nation.
Anthony views herself as something of an Alice in Wonderland, with the public as the Red Queen. My sentence was doled out long before there was a verdict. Sentence first, verdict afterward.
People found me guilty long before I had my day in court. A day later, Casey Anthony was arrested on charges of child neglect. She told police that Caylee had disappeared with a baby sitter. A utility worker working in a wooded area near the Anthony home on Dec. In the end, prosecutors proved Casey Anthony was a liar, but convinced the jury of little else.
On the year anniversary of being empaneled on the notorious murder case, the juror tells PEOPLE that he thinks about the case "at least once, every single day". Ten years ago, seven women and five men were sworn in as jurors in the Casey Anthony trial, perhaps the most high-profile trial in the past 20 years. For two months, the jurors were sequestered in a hotel. They sat through 33 days of testimony, examined more than pieces of evidence and heard 91 witnesses testify.
From May to July , none of the jurors — or the five alternates — missed a day in court. Although the 40 million Americans watching the case on live television couldn't see their faces, the media in the courtroom studied their every move. Almost everyone predicted that these 12 jurors would convict Anthony of murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter.
And then, the jurors did the unthinkable, acquitting her of all the serious charges against her. She was only convicted of lying to police. Two weeks later, she walked free from jail.
