Casey Case Study Psychology
Looking at Casey in a psychological perspective, it can be insinuated that there were a few psychological issues. Both the prosecution and the defense determined that there was something that formed Casey to do either nothing, from the drowning of her daughter or something to dispose of her. The defense argued that Casey acted as if nothing happened when Caylee drowned, due to the events that occurred in her past. The defense brought to light that Casey was molested and abused by her father when she was just an adolescent. Phycologists were brought to the stand to testify that in light of what occurred in her past, Casey was accustomed to keeping secrets. The drowning of Caylee made her panic and instead of telling authority, she reverted

    On July 15, 2008, two year old Caylee Anthony was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. Cindy notified the 911 operator after realizing she had not seen the girl in a month. Casey Anthony, Caylee’s mother, gave police several different reasons for the girl’s disappearance, including the story that the girl had been kidnapped by a babysitter. On December 11, 2008, Caylee’s remains were found in a Florida swamp near the Anthony home.

    The show the death of Cay lee an alleged intentional murder and were asking for the death penalty against Casey Anthony. The prosecutors believe that Casey used chloroform to render her daughter unconscious before putting duct tape over her nose and mouth to suffocate her. Then, Casey left Cay lee’s body in the trunk of her car for a couple days before disposing it. The prosecution painted Casey as a party girl who killed her daughter to free herself from the responsibilities of being a parent. The fact that Casey was told about the drowning theory in jail by her own mother and that this is where she got the idea for such a defense was also brought up. Casey Anthony has lied so many times to family and law enforcement about the whereabouts of her daughter. As her daughter was missing during the first thirty days she continued to go out partying with friends and she also went out and got a tattoo on her back of “Bella Vita” which in Italian means beautiful life. Casey wasn’t acting like a concerned mother looking for her missing…

    Since the day that Casey Anthony was acquitted of all felony charges people everywhere have been asking themselves, “What went wrong?’’. How could it be that this women, whom everyone was sure had murdered her child, walked away with only 4 misdemeanors? All of which were of making a false statement to law enforcement. Our justice system says that the innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Unfortunately because of that justice system there is no justice for Caylee Anthony. I believe what went wrong in the Casey Anthony case is as follows:…

    I disagree that she is not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated manslaughter, or aggravated child abuse for the fact of how emotionless she was throughout the entire trial, and how lie after lie had come out of her mouth. I understand that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that she was guilty but all the evidence that had been found couldn't point to anyone else. I feel there was enough to prove that she was guilty just by how careless she seemed about all of it. The whole month Caylee was missing she was out drinking and partying. I believe she should have gotten more charges or stipulates just for the fact that she didn't report her daughter missing. I believe therein not doubt that she was involved with what happened to her daughter (Huffington Post).…

She was caught in numerous lies with police investigators, and never helped/wanted to help, or even seemed concerned with investigators during the search.

    Casey Anthony Trial

    In some ways, the Casey Anthony trial reveals the way that media influence, including the way it is presented online, affects public perception. When one looks at the pages and information that pop up when one searched for information on the trial, a great deal of attention has been given to the way that certain commentators in the media, like Nancy Grace, tried to focus on the inconsistent and, most would say, deplorable behavior of Anthony and the tragedy of the death itself to draw ratings, but far fewer actually focused on the objective legal facts of the case. Thus, when someone sought to find out about the trial, whether through television outlets or online, quite often they were presented with a sensationalistic view of the case, rather than commentary that revealed the problems that the prosecution had with its case, like the lack of an established motive or cause of death, the very issues that prompted the jury to acquit. However, because these issues, or other very basic legal concepts like reasonable doubt, were not given their proper coverage during the trial, most people were outraged with the verdict and believed that the jury had been made of ignorant people, when in reality, their acquittal seems reasonable in a legal context.…
