Did Casey Anthony kill Caylee Anthony?

In: Casey Anthony Trial [Edit categories]

Answer:

Casey Anthony was found not guilty by the jury in the murder of two-year-old Caylee Anthony. Her body, when found, was too badly decomposed to determine the exact cause of death. The evidence in the case was circumstantial and the jury, although not sure of Casey's innocence said they was not enough information to prove her a murderer.

This case is very similar to the OJ Simpson case in the fact that public opinion and the jury's decision are going to be very different. The jury found her not guilty on July 5, 2011. Whether or not she is actually innocent is something that we will probably never know.

ADDED: A finding of Not Guilty (beyond a reasonable doubt) of a crime is NOT synonymous with stating that the individual is 'innocent' of the crime.
