Casey Anthony: Caylee ‘drowned in pool’
The eminently sad, and terribly convoluted murder trial of Casey Anthony, accused in the death of her toddler Caylee, added yet another bizarre twist today when Anthony claimed her daughter drowned in a pool.
Anthony did not report 2-year-old Caylee missing, staying mum during the entire search for her daughter. She maintained that she left the child in the care of a woman and returned to find both child and babysitter gone, a claim that did not bear out under investigation. The woman Anthony said she left little Caylee with was determined not to exist by authorities.
Caylee Anthony’s remains were found in December of 2008, several months after she was discovered missing in July and last seen alive in June. Anthony told authorities she was investigating Caylee’s disappearance on her own, but her MySpace page indicated she had been attending parties and clubs during that period.
Anthony’s attorney Jose Baez mounted a defense for his client by claiming Anthony had been repeatedly sexually abused by her father George. He alleged George was present when Caylee’s body was discovered, and assisted in covering up the toddler’s death. Baez contended:
“Casey should have been strong. Casey should have called 911. Casey should have done the right thing,” Baez said. “And that’s what she’s guilty of… You hear stories of Zanny the nanny for two years, she pretended she had a job and pretended she had a nanny,” Baez said. “Is that normal? Is that what normal people do?”
After cross-examination, Anthony’s parents, Cindy and George, were said to have been visibly distraught in a courthouse elevator. Also addressed in today’s proceedings were incriminating web searches done on Anthony’s computer suggesting the crime may have been pre-meditated:
The prosecutor also brought up the computer forensic analysis that shows an internet search conducted on a computer inside the family home in March with the words, “Chloroform, alcohol” and others. Other searches were “household weapons,” “neck-breaking” and “self defense.”
Anthony appeared worried and cried during the initial proceedings today.

Okay this is the FACT SHE DIDN'T REPORT CAYLEE MISSING CAUSE SHE KNEW SHE WAS DEAD SHE KNEW SHE DROWN IN THE POOL AND SHE DIDN'T REPORT IT AS THE ACCIDENT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE HER FATHER HAD. Now was she right listening to her father instead of calling the police NO! but does that mean that she should go to jail and be executed for a murder she didn't commit? She was arguing with her father, CAYLEE got out went to the pool, "which the grandmother GAVE PROOF showing Caylee could get to the pool on her own. " and Drown. That's not FIRST DEGREE MURDER that's an irresponsible parent that because of her fuck up lost her baby girl. People people please tell me how you can try someone for murder without A CAUSE OF DEATH? Hello how can you even begin to say CHLOROFORM was used on a child that you cant even determine the cause of death? Umm yeah you cant as for how the body was found tied up and in bags if anyone followed the case from start to finish they would know that the way Little Caylee's body was found tied up in a blanket and wrapped in two trash bags… proves to people wouldn't look at Casey for this disgusting act but to Casey Anthony father, who I believed disposed of the body himself. Considering that he would dispose of animals that died the very same way in a towel then two trash bags. I am not at all excusing the fact that they allowed her to get out by not supervising her, and by all means are all of them responsible in the cover up of an accident that they instead of thinking, panicked and made the wrong decision. But does that mean that we as people should excuse the EVIDENCE THAT PROVED HER NOT GUILTY IN FIRST DEGREE MURDER? People you cant be mad at anyone or pass judgment based on little facts we hear or hear from a news broadcast. First off the media put A CLEAR GUILTY SIGN ON HER AS SOON AS THE TRIAL BEGAN AND THAT ISN'T RIGHT. So many innocent people in our world are sentenced to death for murders they didn't commit. Who gives you or any other person the right to pass a verdict on a women…. of burning in hell or, stupid bitch should have died, when nobody was even there or knows the truth. Considering the ignorant comments made against this family.No all FACTS BEFORE ANYONE PASSES JUDGEMENT!
