After only 10 hours of deliberation the jury has found Casey Anthony Not Guilty of all charges except for 4 counts of lying to the police. The sentence for the charges of lying each carry a one year sentence, which means Casey can still be forced to serve one more year and a couple months. This will be up to the judge to decide. The jury has decided not to comment at this time on their decision.
The defense made their case by proving reasonable doubt. They focused on the idea that Caylee Anthony was killed in a drowning accident and claimed it was on George Anthony's watch and claim he found the body of the child. The defense also argued that Casey was in jail during the time the body was disposed of. They evidently made a very good case and did provide reasonable doubt.
Now that she has been found not guilty will her father be brought up on charges, will anyoe pay for the death of Caylee, or will they be able to use the same reasonable doubt for him? George and Cindy Anthony claimed before the verdict was read that they would no longer be speaking to the media, but now that she was aquitted will that be the case?
So what happens next?
