Casey Anthony smiles before the start of her sentencing hearing in Orlando, Fla., on July 7, 2011.
Lawyers for Casey Anthony -- the Florida mother found not guilty in the murder of her 2-year-old daughter -- argued to a state appeals court on Tuesday that Anthony should not have been convicted of lying to police because she had not been advised of her right to remain silent.
Anthony, 26, was acquitted of major charges in 2011 in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, who disappeared in 2008 and whose body was found months later in the woods near the Anthony home in the Orlando area.
Though she was acquitted of the murder charge, Casey Anthony was convicted of four counts of lying to police and had been sentenced to a maximum of four years in prison.
Anthony was convicted of lying to a detective when she said she left Caylee on or about June 9, 2008, with a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez at the Sawgrass Apartments in Orlando. She was also convicted of lying when she claimed she was employed at Universal Studios, had told Universal co-workers that Caylee was missing, and later received a phone call from Caylee.
Anthony was nowhere to be seen Tuesday, when her lawyers entered a Daytona Beach, Fla. court for the afternoon hearing before the Fifth District Court of Appeal, NBC affiliate WESH of Orlando reported.
A three-judge appellate panel did not rule Tuesday and didn't specify when a decision would come down, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Lawyers for Anthony argue the four lies should be considered one offense, since the statements were made during extended interrogation by detectives, Reuters reported. They also argue that jurors shouldn't have heard Anthony's statements to detectives during the initial investigation, according to Reuters. Her lawyers say that's because her lawyers had not been advised of her right to remain silent.
In August, Anthony completed one year of probation at a secret location for a check fraud charge.

She needs to just shut up and keep herself out of the public eye. She should be glad that's all she was convicted of.
guilty as sin. of lying and also murder. she should just be thankful she got off with the latter. this is probably just a stunt to keep herself in the public eye. she loves the attention - negative or not.
I agree Terelyn. She just shows her stupidity now. She would be far better off keeping her mouth shut and staying low profile.
Seeing her smile makes me want to smack the shi+ out of her.
I still cannot believe she wasn't found guilty. What a sham our judicial system is.
This vile "thing" that passes itself off as a woman is creepier than Charles Manson.
I doubt she was trying to get into the public eye. The woman lives under perpetual scrutiny. If she gets a traffic ticket, we're likely to hear about it. Lawyers just doing their job, it becomes part of the court record, and the Casey-watchers pick it up and we read about it. Also, public defense lawyers are not only working on her behalf, they probably see some significant legal issues in the multiple charges, issues which would affect other clients. Multiple charges for statements made during ongoing investigation--or the threat of multiple charges--that's something that could easily be used to abuse and curtail 5th amendment rights of anyone in connection with investigations. Including, yes, innocent people.
She got away with murder and now wants to appeal about her lying conviction? It's a sad, sad world we live in.
It took 12 years for OJ to get his just do, we will have to wait for Casey Anthony to get hers. I don't think many people like her and OJ ever change.
She needs to have her head examined by a stone cutter, then deported....
After watching the trail (Big joke) the term Bottom Feeder really fits for her attorney... And she is definitely the lowest of the low...
I doubt she even thinks about what she did... She cares only about herself... I feel sorry for the child that's gone and the grandparents and uncle left behind...
I only wish for her that every time she closes her eyes.... she sees that precious baby over and over again.
Too bad her acquittal cannot be appealed
she's not legally guilty...a jury of 12 said so...i think casey is a little crazy...and the jury was totally nuts...
This human piece of garbage is the same as the piece of manure that killed Natalee Holloway. She got away with it and I put money that she will do it again. Anyone that kills a defenseless child will have no problem doing it again.
This murderer needs to just disappear.
I still think a "crazy" will take her out, just a matter of time. She got away with murder, but karma's a bitch.
You people are funny, 99.9 % of you were never in that courtroom, and all she and her mom did was accidentally drown the kid in a pool, like NINE OTHERS DO EVERY DAY.--And they were embarrassed, it is that simple. But they should have called the ambulance when the kid was dead, but for what? to satisfy you, the ambulance could do nothing anyway, you people live in a totally unreal world, created by too many TV shows.
So if they drop everything, I hope she gets a few million from the police pension fund for harassment by them and especially by you who really have no idea of what happened.
Oh but one can only hope...

Do they go out partying after?
I truly hope you are not serious Bundgaard-1210892 -- if so you are a sick individual. have kids?
Oh so its okay to drown a baby in a pool....not be scared and upset....just be embarrassed? "the kid" wow ...youre an @!$%#. I hope you do not have kids. wlpos
So Bundgaard-1210892 do you have children? If you do, you should really considering putting your children up for adoption. If you think its is okay to "accidentally" drown your kid then you sit in a jail cell with bunch of immates that would take advantage of you and make you their b@#*tch.
BUNDGAARD ---are u out of your mind!!!! SHe downed her baby and accident...OK ...BUT to throw her body in a field ...she should receive $ for that . U must be the devil himself!!
Caycee should be blugeoned to death to wipe that smirk off her face. I predict she will end life abruptly someday well before her natural time. What a POS to think about this legal piece.......
One thing I learned is that the most important part of any jury trial, isn't the evidence, witnesses, procedures or testimony but choosing the right Jurors.
hope i never see her walking down the sidewalk while im driving by. just sayin!
Apparently, Bundgaard has the inside scoop. Crime solved. Just a little case of accidental drowning, no big deal. Happens every day. That's one of the dumbest posts I've read. Several TV shows detail actual crimes that are more bizarre and unbelievable than the idea of Casey Anthony killing her child so she no longer has responsibility for her. I'd rather be "funny" than nuts.
It's disgraceful that she got away with murder of this innocent child as a result of a broken justice system. Her lawyers are now attempting to use the system again in hopes of benefiting financially from any deals she will get from a book deal, TV appearances, etc.
Sadly, the judge will also want some publicity to, so he will allow it to happen.
What a world we live in today. God help us.
She needs to slither back under her rock.
Yeah Dumgaard,
First go on your computer and look up ways to break your kids neck and ways to make home-made chloroform. Then when your kid accidentally drowns in the swimming pool don't call for help since it might embarrass you. Instead wrap duct tape around their head and mouth and throw them into the trunk of your car to rot for a few days. When you can no longer stand the stench throw them into a ditch somewhere where they won't be found and go party with your friends for a month until people notice your child is missing. We should name you mother of the year and give you lots of money.
Who is paying the lawyers for this latest round of crap ? If it is the state of Florida taxpayers , you just got screwed again.
God look at her smile...pisses me off. The only attention she is going to get is more hate towards her and she better watch her back. I think we all just need to be patiant and wait for karma to come biting her in the a#$
Many of you feel she is only looking for attention, when what she is doing is a smart move. If in fact her lies were made before she was read her rights, and, or the lies were told in the same session she might get the conviction overturned.
If she gets the conviction overturned then she can legally say she has never been convicted of a crime, on job applications etc... That is why it is a smart move.
I don't think she's innocent of everything she was charged with, and I do think she lied to police, but the "justice" system may overturn the verdict.
I just think the verdict will be overturned, it doesn't mean I support it.
Agreed, Terelyn. Better to keep quiet and have others consider you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
To Bundgaard 1210892:
You must not have any children, but I do. And if god for bid I did find my child drowned in the pool or dead because of anything, I would still call 911 because that is your instinct. You never give up on your children, you would walk on glass to bring them back, and you sure as hell don't disgard them like trash in the woods! You would wait for help, give cpr, and if your child was lost you would have a beautiful funeral with family and friends to celebrate thier little life. You don't leave your baby to be eaten by wild animals and insects, unless you are a cut throat bitch who only cares about herself. You my friend are a blind idoit along with the other 12 jurors.
Wow, what balls. She should stay away from pools, though. Especially public ones, lest she have an "accident."
I want her to go to jail. Be put in the public population. Those women would take good care of her.
Maybe Bundgaard and Casey are one in the same. Just sayin.......
@SRMcMahon
You are absolutely right!! There are bigger issues here than Casey Anthony. People need to "put down the outrage" and see what's going on here and how it will effect people in the future. I actually watched the casey anthony trial everyday...and was as shocked and dismayed as ANYBODY that she was found not guilty...that being said...I feel that the not guilty verdict was a proof of the STRENGTH our judicial system is SUPPOSED to have...it's SUPPOSED to be HARD to convict somebody...the prosecution is supposed to PROVE guilt...if the prosecution team in the anthony/simpson trials did not get guilty verdicts...THEY CAN ONLY BLAME THEMSELVES...not "the system" don't blame the jury because they followed the letter and the spirit of the law. In my opinion the weakest link in the "system" is where and how the prosecution is allowed to file charges...yeah we all know that casey anthony never said anything that wasn't a lie...but charging her with four counts for one crime is only going to hurt everyone who comes AFTER her...making it easier for the prosecution to "win" before the trial even starts is going to hurt EVERYBODY...as SRMcMahon reminds us...especially the INNOCENT...the innocent do exist people. It is a far far worse thing to send an innocent person to prison(or worse) than to see a guilty person go free.
To Bundgaard
Are you really serious? First of all, it was her Mother who called Police to report a missing child. Police and investigators responded to THAT call. Casey Anthony was not being harassed or interrogated therefore, there would have been no reason to read her Miranda rights or her mother at that point. She gave willingly, information to the police about the "reported missing child" on her own to lead detectives on an investigation that was false. Places she worked, a baby-sitter's name and location, all information she voluntarily gave to responding officers the day her mother made a 911 call to police. If you are pulled over or contacted by Police and are asked your name and you lie and give a fictitious name, you don't need your rights read to you, but if you lie to police and give even a false name, you can and probably will be convicted of the same misdemeanor Casey Anthony was.
In the further investigations after finding out that Ms. Anthony lied when filing a "false police report" which is what she did by lying to police, she continued at that time to give the same story about a babysitter, the woman's name, her workplace, the babysitters address as a followup to being caught lying in the initial call to Police and report. So to insinuate that this was harassment by the police is just ridiculous.
And then to say you hope she gets millions from their police pension fund. What job do you have? I bet you don't spend your life dealing with drug addicts, drunks, family fights, dead bodies, and telling a loved one their son or mother hung themselves on christmas morning. Until you are ready to shape up, go through a rigourous academy, have every aspect of your financial and personal life investigated, and put on a uniform and take fire from some fool, who's only purpose that day is to kill you or someone else, shut up about police pensions and give up your life and family time to work 12-18 hr shifts, weekends, holidays, kids birthdays, and work with the worst of society to burn out your body by age 50 and hopefully live long enough to collect that pension for what you've sacrificed for society.....Yeah, people like you.
the judicial system is not perfect, a jury of citizens heard all the evidence in a long trial, they found the State did not prove their case( every juror probably felt she was responsible, but MURDER was not proved); now for the appeal, she was a suspect from day one, the detectives said so on the stand; the appeal is based on her right to remain silent , once she was a target suspect; the court will have to do some good foot work , in order not to overturn her convictions, the lawyers have a good argument on their appeal; Florida has one of the best IDO office in the nation, some very good lawyers, who are many career IDO lawyers!
Casey has admitted herself that she loves to watch the news to see what people are saying about her. Just four words for you Casey - you are a murderer. And you know it (four more.)
Is anyone really that surprised that she feels entitled to get away with ALL charges, not just the ones that would have put her away for life?
She realizes that no one is going to pay her for her story and no one is interested in her fame other than when she is in court. So the only solution to her need for attention and money is to go back to court and then sue the Police Dept.
BTW - Bundgaard-1210892 is clearly a troll. No parent would simply dump their kid's body like trash (embarrassed or not) even if paramedics couldn't save them. And since every news station broadcast the trial live on TV and the internet, we didn't really NEED to physically be in the courtroom to know what happened. I still cling to the hope that no one is as stupid as this troll would like you to believe...
Trolls are much more pathetic than armchair detectives because they think negative attention from a display of stupidity is better than none at all.
"Extended", meaning that they went back to her several times when the previous leads didn't pan out. Therefore she had time between each round of questions to do the right thing and tell the truth and instead just lied some more.
Also the line about her miranda rights is laughable. They never informed her of her rights because she wasn't in police custody at the time. And they were questioning her at that point. If cops needed to read miranda rights to every person they question during an investigation then witness testimony from anyone that wasn't a suspect would also be inadmissible by law, by that same standard. That would even hurt defense witnesses.
I hope the judge sees through these silly claims.
She should run for a high public office in the Federal Gov. She would be voted in without a doubt. This slime would fit in perfectly with the rest of the scum in Washington.
She skated on the murder charge and threw her family under a train in the process. Now this narcissistic little hoebag is nitpicking what little in the way of charges was dumped in her lap. I don't get it. Just go away, casey...just go away.
Race2three
While you are absolutely correct that the prosecution has the ultimate duty of proof for guilt and while I believe that Anthony did know Caylee was dead, where her body was, and perhaps it was neglectful supervision which lead to her death, the prosecution only proved she was a liar and a poor excuse for a mother of a child and human being for that matter. The child endangerment charge should never have been dropped. The prosecutors in this case made a huge mistake by going for First Degree Murder. They knew they had a missing child, then a dead child, a mother who filed a false police report giving misleading information on numerous interviews. They had evidence that she never reported a missing child (which at the time was not a crime in Florida) but not knowing if your child is fed, clothed, who is caring for your child, and having no information of the well-being of your child is Felony Child Endangerment, and a jury would have most certainly convicted her on that charge.
But to your statement of being charged 4 times on 1 crime. You are incorrect. And lets remember that the Grand Jury handed down these charges. Count 4 was lying initially on the day she filed a false police report about working at Universal Studios. Count 5 was giving information to police about a possible suspect by name and location as the "baby-sitter". Count 6 was in a separate interview telling police the names of 2 supposed co-workers at Universal Studio's who also were informed of her daughter's disappearance. And count 7 was on July 15th, a week later from the July 8th information that she had received a phone call and spoken personally to Caylee, which then led investigators on a massive expansion to find the missing child with information from her mother she spoke to her. These were 4 separate and individual indictments from the Grand Jury. Each count carried a max. in Florida of 1 yr in jail as a 1st degree Misdemeanor and a $1,000 fine.
This in no way weakens the justice system and places any other citizen at risk. The Grand Jury did the right thing here on these 4 counts of indictment. And also, remember....Ms. Anthony was offered immunity on those 4 counts to just tell investigators what really happened and she refused twice.
Im just surprised that she's still alive.
She has no respect for the law at all. Same way I would stop having respect for it if she walks out of this winning a lawsuit for several million dollars.
That woman is guilty as they come!
I'm sure it was just a coincidence that she googled how to suffocate a child just prior to her daughter's "accidental" death.
Steve Wilson3
What I find absolutely amazing is that some of the posters here actually believe they are in any way better than Casey Anthony when it is painfully obvious that they are cut from the same cloth.
@Steve Wilson 3
I hope you accidentally drown. maybe the immates would like you too? dick.
This crazy b**ch needs to disappear before some eccentric nut takes her @ss out!!!! Don't think even her family would miss this lying, murderess, piece of sh*t!!!........Thoughts and prayers are always with you Caylee!! God Bless your beautiful soul.
Overturning her conviction does not alleviate her from further prosecutions as well as longer sentences should she be retried and found guilty.
If anyone is to blame for her Not guilty verdict it is one sheriffs deputy who did not retrieve Caylee's body from the swamp it was moved to when it was first reported in august. Instead it was december before the retrived it. The whole case was screwed over by bad police work and lazy cops.
You'd better hope she never even gets brushed by a car after typing that stupid comment.
BUT - she hasn't killed anyone recently.
In reading these painful posts.....my thoughts go to the basics. What is she using for money to pay her attnys to file this motion? Her parents, or maybe she got a small stipend from the Redneck of all stupid lawyers, Cheney Mason, who treated her like a daughter???Gag Gag and Gag. They feed off of each other. He gets to provide a focused channel of attention on himself, she is the sidebar to his circus act.
Surely this motion is not funded by the the fundemental process of being her pubic defender? I cannot believe a court in the land would entertain this BS. Is this woman real, or a figment of some really bad dream. Narcissitic personality....don't need to go further into the text book for either her attorney or herself.
You fu@king hypocrites make me want to puke! Here you get all in a self-righteous uproar over what this idiot did to her baby. Then you turn right around and shoot off your mouth about what you would do to her if you ever saw her on the street. In the first place, 99.9999% of you are to big of a coward to do anything at all beyond telling her how you think she is slime. Secondly, you are exposing yourselves as what you really are. You're no better than her making threats of revenge against her. "Judge not lest you be judged". "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord". Are you willing to face Him after putting yourself in His place and extracting revenge on this person? You all need to examine how you are living your life and make some changes before you find yourselves on the other side of a sudden death. At that point it'll be just a little to late and you'll find yourselves as room mates to Casey Anthony for all Eternity.
This will go down in history as "THE DUMB TWELVE" ..................
It's when you have more evidence than you can comprehend ... so you acquit!!!!!!
This woman, innocent or not, will have to live with what little conscience she may have left for the rest of her life. Let us only hope she is constantly tormented by the things she has done and the lies she has told.
Well... Guaranteed she is not 'tortured'. Those without a conscience have no problem living without one. It's the rest of us that have the problem of our neighbor not having one.
The sad thing is that more then likely she won't be constantly tormented by the fact that she killed her daughter and lied about it. She is a very mentally sick person who has more then likely made herself believe that somebody else did it - you tell yourself a lie long enough - you start to believe it and it becomes your truth. Her conscience probably died a long time ago. I mean who goes out to party while your daughter is missing.
I agree. And not only that, but I thought a person only had to be advised of his/her rights if under arrest, and if I remember correctly, she was only being questioned about the circumstances surrounding her daughter's disappearance. Also, every lie had to be investigated, costing taxpayers for lost time in investigating. Ah, well -- the law isn't always logical, and lawyers use that to their advantage.
She's not tormented at all. She was partying and living it up after she murdered her child. I hope she died a violent death.
she has no care other than for herself. like most people.
Jan-772812
Our legal system is designed to insure that innocents don't get punished. That is entirely "logical". But there is a price we pay for that, sometimes guilty people will get away with their crimes. No system is perfect but the alternative would be much worse.
Casey Anthony has gotten away with nothing, folks! She will stand face to face with the God who created her, and this earth, and everything in it. SHE will answer for EVERY sin that she has hidden from mankind! Also, her lawyers will answer for their aggregious coverup of her sins and their lies. They all will pay the ultimate price for living lies on this earth- an eternity in hell! God help them!!
All the commentors and me are just as bad and keeping her in the public eye by what we are doing. Someone said that it is a sham of American justice, but the prosecutor had his chance and couldn't prove a case to a jury of 12. Why is it when we want someone guilty we do this? It's our system and if they can't prove the case without a reasonable doubt then we have to go with it. so blame the media and the responders on message boards because we keep her in the limelight. When u don't care then they will go away. when u respond and the media carries the stories then it shows she is getting her wish.
Thats not the point. She escaped justice because of a jury full of weak minded people that failed to see the truth and apply the appropriate sentence. Death.
If she isn't tormented by what she has done in this life, she surely will be in the next one and there's no getting away from IT by dying. That life will be insanely horrible and will last for all Eternity.
I think it's only fair that if she appeals her convictions on lying...that we can appeal her non-conviction on murdering that baby girl. She needs to hide in a hole and stay there.
That's not how it works. The Constitution forbids double jeopardy.
Really??? I think everyone knows that (unfortunate piece of US Law - especially in this case) - sounds like you want everyone to know you took a few law courses :)
Yea because the government should just be allowed to put people on trial again and again and again until they find a jury that agrees with them. Those idiots who wrote the Constitution had no idea what they were doing!
Yeah... a hole 6 feet under.
I gotta tell you guys, this idiot here called joe scatone is why we have problems in the country.
You can't fix stupid.
At the very least then put those 12 jury members on trial for letting a murderer loose on society. And put her on trial for violating Caylee's human rights
Dave-3493908,
No respect for the Constitution and people's rights is why we have problems in this society and this whole thread is an example of that. Joe Scatone is the only person making any sense.
Joe started to explain something we already know as citizens...you cant do double jeopardy. the original poster was just saying what they "would like to see happen" not that it would. so stop being so "holier than thou" get over it. she murdered her babe. shes evil. why are you trying to defending her rights in the least? jee whiz
Dave-3493908
I'll just assume your doctor told you that. Because if you think Joe is wrong he's obviously not the idiot here.
No respect for our Constitution goes all the way to the White House.
Amanda-4335692
Not that it would, just that she's like to see the Constitution ignored to fulfill her personal vendetta. I'd say that attitude is a problem.
That's really just a pathetically sad statement. The reason we defend EVERYONE'S rights is because people are wrongly accused all of the time. Allowing the few to get away with their crimes is the price we pay to insure that the many aren't unjustly punished.
She needs to be retried on another charge like child abuse and give her the electric chair.
The reason we defend EVERYONE'S rights is because people are wrongly accused all of the time. Allowing the few to get away with their crimes is the price we pay to insure that the many aren't unjustly punished.
Couldn't agree more with that.
What about all the people that are tried again under federal laws for the same exact crime? Civil rights violations etc.
Absolutely sickening!!!! I can not believe she has the audacity to even make an appeal! The bitch murdered her daughter and lied about EVERYTHING while the investigation was taking place leading the authorities absolutely no where. The judge should throw the charges right back at her and make her finish her 4 years of prison instead of that crock of @!$%# getting out for "good behavior". What really needs to happen is a re-trial to get this evil out of the public and incarcerated for the rest of her life! Its not fair that poor Caylee is gone off this earth before she was even given a chance to experience life and Casey still has the opportunity to appeal 4 charges that she is CLEARLY GUILTY for. And bitch don't use these charges as an excuse that their not allowing you to move on in life cause you have no life. Every where you go you better watch your back, just about everybody in America wants you dead!!!!!! Burn in hell Casey Anthony!
Who killed Kaylee Anthony? Is law enforcement searching for Kaylee's killer?
@Lauren Alexis -- yep. she's an evil bitch and you said what a lot of people are feeling. It seems to me that more people get away with @!$%# they should be locked up for than innocents being wrongly locked up. The legal system seems to give criminals more rights than it gives the victims. That's just wrong. And as long as we have the fools on the hill that we have now, it will never change.
@Lauren Alexis...... With an attitude like that, you and Casey Anthony will be spending a lot of time together in Hell. You are such an idiotic hypocrite. You could really stand to do A LOT of work on your spiritual life.
I smell 2 sumbags. Her and her lawyer.
I would assume the taxpayers of FL are paying for all this. Otherwise who is?
I agree! Two major scumbags! One who is a murderer of an innocent child and the other who lied to get her off. She needs to just GO AWAY! YES! GO AWAY Casey Anthoney!!
that would be SCUMBAGS !
Legally her argument is sound if the case can be made that it was one extended interrogation and not 4 seperate interrogations. The DA doesn't have carte blanche to charge people with anything he wants just because most of the public thinks the person is guilty.
I really don't see the difference in telling four lies in one interrogation, or one lie in each of four interrogations. It's still four lies. The results are the same.
Joe if she said "yes Joe did it" and later said "John helped too" you and John would not care how many times she was called in for questioning. All you would care about is the two damaging statements she made. Each of her Lies cost the state a lot of money searching and investigating her claims.
There's a HUGE difference. If te courts agree with her that she lied during the same investigation, albeit multiple times, then the charge is ONE. However, if otherwise, then she gets charged for each separate lie.
I don't think Joe Scatone is an "idiot" as another poster labeled him. He is 100% correct. This isn't an argument of whether she is guilty or not, and no one is arguing whether is wrong/right. The argument is: Can Casey Anthony be charged and prosecuted for each lie separately? Point blank.
The justice system is a complicated one and people don't realize. For example, if I killed someone and immediately go to a lawyer and confess- unless the lawyer stops me and says he doesn't want to hear it, whatever confession I handed is "priviledged" and cannot be used to convict me. Loopholes like this one are the ones that people get twisted when commenting on the law, the judicial system, and evidence.
She should have gotten the death penalty.
I agree- the Death penalty is what she deserves! She will at some point have to meet her maker and no lies will get her out of that one!!
yes at least
Haven't the courts wasted enough money on this P.O.S.? I suggest she shut up and crawl back into her hole...hopefully never to be heard or seen again. UGH!
I don't have a problem with her doing this. The lies should have been considered one and not multiple since they were told in one sitting.
So if your wife called and told you she had to work late, then was going to have dinner with her friend, Kathy, then go to an art gallery, and have a drink with her afterward, and would be home by midnight - when actually, she was leaving work early, meeting a man, going to a hotel, doing the nasty, and got home at 4:00am - that would be less harmful than if she delivered those lies individually in four separate phone calls?
Really, enough already. This woman lost a child and is now being punished every time she blinks. Let her get on with her life.
Jon... are you kidding me? She lied and lied and lied again to Police -Who by the way were using taxpayer dollars to help find the child she knew was dead because she murdered her. I agree with WinWin4All that four or more lies will never be understood to mean only one. What do you hang out with Casy Anthony?
I believe each of those lies were investigated separately and she continued the story for each of them beyond the interrogation until she absolutely could not go along with the lie any longer. I mean she took the police to Universal Studios and then finally had to admit she didn't work there. So even if the lies were told all at once each needed unnecessary follow up that exhausted resources and time in a sensitive case. She lied four times to throw off the investigators from finding Caylee....maybe if they found her sooner they could have had enough evidence to convict Casey since that's what the jury said was missing....as far fetched as that sounds you just never know. She deserved each charge and conviction and much much more.
You should start a Casey fan club and make yourself her national spokesman. Don't forget to add your address, cell phone number, and e-mail address so all of your supporters can contact you in her behalf. That being said.......do you really believe what you just said? Really?
Jack, this women was getting on with her life, a day after her daughter's death. She was out partying, drinking and getting tatoos while she lied about the whereabouts of her daughter. Why should she be allowed to get on with her life without being responsible for her lies? Caylee will never have a life because of her!
If you watched the trial,they were not all told in one interrogation,they were told in 4 different instances which means the charges should stand as they are.If she has a public defender who gets paid by the state instead of one of the scumbags who got her off for murder, they are just trying to make a name for themselves just as Jose' Baez did. Heads up people,if you get this channel on your cable or satellite,it's called "Investigation On I.D.", they do crime programs like "48 Hrs Mystery",and Monday night crime writer Aphrodite Jones is doing a sit-down with #1 scumbag Jose' Baez and he is supposed to reveal more information that wasn't revealed in her trial !!!! better get out the hip-waders !!!!
i can only hope she lives next to you, jonny. hey jackie, maybe she can watch your kids? dickless trolls.
BULL..IT!
If someone robs a bank by going to 4 different tellers and taking the money they would only be charged with 1 robbery..............................
Jack, you honestly think that this is going to go away? The whole world saw how guilty she was. We cant retry her but we can make her life a living hell which is exactly what she deserves. Anyone who kills an innocent 2 yr old deserves nothing less.
Why didn't we and why don't we have the same uproar for O.J. People cheered in the streets when he got away with murder.

However, if that same person stole 100k in cash by robbing 4 banks in one afternoon, they would face 4 counts
She got away with murder so beating a lying charge should be simple in her mind.
great point! we all have to remember we aren't dealing with a "normal" person here with "normal" thoughts. She is in her own little "i am indestructible" mindset.
you can't expect rational thinking from an irrational person.
O My once again she thinks she has been done wrong, I agree she is lucky that she did not receive worse. I am so sick of her and the attorneys who defend her. I wonder how often she thinks about the murder she commited to that precious little Caylee. Second thought probably never after all that is what she wanted her freedom ,and she is still fighting for it . R.I.P. Caylee Angel
I wonder how those attorneys live with themselves,but you can't blame it all on them,the jurors didn't help,they wanted to go home so they voted the way did to be able to do that,they have to live with it too,that's why most of them wouldn't talk to the media after the verdict was read.I would probably want to remain anonymous too.....
Get out of the news twhat!
Please, don't waiste our time on this type garbage coverage. She needs professional help.
Does an executioner qualify as "professional help" ???
YEAH help from ''smith&wesson''
Truly evil c.un.t.
Just more lies. She is a dumpster. Hang her. She smiles. What a c unt
Yeah her lawyer is bangin her
Here we go again. let it go folks....and fight the charges in the first damn place when you are due to be released in 5 days? ....
Geez...will we never be rid of this pathetic creature?
Lawyers just want to make more money period.
She's not paying with cash, bro.
Chances are she's probably working on movies and book deals. By keeping her name in the public(regardless if its negative or not)help her case. Look to see her on talk shows etc. By trying to clear her record (getting rid of the three charges) instead of the four, make her more marketable
stoke the flames of hell with a bit more charcoal for this c u n t...and her lawyer.
Just who is paying for the lawyers? I hope it's not the taxpayers. Casey Anthony has cost the taxpayers enough already, even tho she was paid $200,000 by ABC in 2008! Now that she's off probation, she is free to go to Puerto Rico, so why doesn't she just go? Nobody wants to be reminded of this baby killer.
What a cold-hearted b..ch. If anyone deserves to be hanged is her. Get the rope!
My personal appeal to the appellate court in the Anthony case DENY DENY DENY DENY DENY DENY DENY DENY!!
If that is all they can get her for then most cops should go to jail for lying. She was found not guilty now the state should just let it go.
I really hope they come up with something else to charge her with as a result of this and she ends up having to go through it all over again. Now that would be funny
Hey. Happened to OJ. Just sit tight.
If I was a male I'd stay away from her like she has the plague ! What happens if she get's pregnant again ???? For the safety of any more offspring she may have,she should be fixed......
i think she should get together with OJ and go find the real killers. worthless @!$%#ing whore (not to disparage whores)
