Casey Anthony's life tainted with the blood of her own daughter
Even though Casey was declared not-guilty by the court but her character forever remained tainted with the blood of her own daughter. In 2008, Casey's mother Cindy Anthony reported about Casey for stealing a vehicle and money. According to Crime Museum, Cindy claimed about her granddaughter's kidnapping in another 911 call. A further report of Casey's car smelling like "dead body" was made. Furthermore, there were several evidence presented in the court that connected Casey with Caylee's murder case. The police found human hair in the trunk of Casey's vehicle, whose DNA was confirmed to be of a female lineage. While doing odor detection test there were confirmations of decomposition. Moreover, there were duct tape, insect activity, and chloroform found near the suspected crime scene.
After 33-days of testimony, the charges of first-degree murder, child abuse, and manslaughter was dropped. However, Casey was found guilty of forgery for false information in the criminal investiagtion. According to Daily News, there were accusations made that Casey paid her lawyer Baez with sex. Baez later denied to all these claims, saying, "This libelous claim is in line with many other outrageous claims and theories that this individual has advanced regarding the Casey Anthony case."
The three-part documentary 'Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies' is set to premiere on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at 3.00 am ET on Peacock.
