Best Answer

Casey Anthony was found not guilty in the death of her daughter and can't be charged a second time. That's called 'double jeopardy' which the the Fifth Amendment forbids, "... nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;".

The only recourse through the courts is a civil suit brought by those who may have cause. Casey Anthony is being sued by a woman whose name is the same as the nanny that Casey made up to explain her daughter's disappearance claiming that she could not find employment while her name was in the headlines; the organization Texas EquuSearch for the money they spent on their search efforts; and the court has ordered that she pay back nearly $100,000 to the Orlando law enforcement agencies for the cost of investigating her lies. As of 10/4/11, Casey Anthony appeared in court to testify that she is still unemployed and unable to pay the court order.

Why 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 motive for the child's death may or may not be determined. Why the child died is not the matter being decided at trial, only if Casey Anthony deliberately or accidently, while commiting child abuse, killed her or not. According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty on July 5, 2011.
