Download or read book The Casey Anthony Murder Trial written by Claudette Walker and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive look at the law, media, judge, jury, defendant, lawyers, witnesses, and evidence, in this high profile murder trial. This is what most people never see: the events that occur during a murder trial. With all the elements of an American tragedy, complete with the elevation of the mother to celebrity status, Casey Anthony stood accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter. Caylee was last seen with her mother, and the toddler's disappearance went unreported for 31 days. A massive worldwide search ensued, before the discovery of Caylee's remains in a murky Florida swamp six months later. In the trial, both the lawyers and witnesses seemed to cross the lines between fact and fiction during this spectacle of horrors. The jury was selected from the authors hometown, Pinellas County, Florida. From jury selection to sentencing, this is a comprehensive interpretation of a first-degree murder trial and our American justice system, for good or bad. This is not a storybook, but the history of this trial, done in real time, including the observations and opinions of the two writers with legal explanations provided by the "house lawyer," a criminal defense attorney, as the trial was ongoing. This is a look at the American legal system, in action. The Casey Anthony Murder Trial is the most complete real time readable transcript known.
