What would you do if you met Casey Anthony in Target? She yearns to stroll the aisles of the chic big-box store, at least according to letters she wrote while imprisoned on charges of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Anthony, arguably the most-watched defendant to walk free since O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder in 1995, went bars-free Sunday morning after logging 1,055 days in prison. It was a stealthy, middle-of-the-night operation occurring at 12:14 a.m. on Sunday; most ex-prisoners exit through the front door, but because of security concerns (newsflash: she's not America's favorite person right now) Anthony got back-door status. She slipped quietly out of Orlando's Orange County Jail with her attorney Jose Baez, saying nothing to the bystanders outside. She was provided with $537 from her jail account and hustled into a waiting SUV. But where will she head now?
Probably not to the beige ranch home she shared with her parents and Caylee before the toddler went missing three years ago. Anthony rejected a jailhouse visit from her mother days after her July 5 acquittal on murder charges, and it's unlikely her father, George Anthony, is feeling too paternal after her lawyers laid out a scenario in which he and Anthony had covered up the accidental drowning death of Caylee.

Who cares? Her 15 minutes are up. The best thing we can do is not give her any more attention.
she was found innocent by a trialby jury of her peers. the prosecution went way to far. they had no evidence to prove a capital murder case.
by law, she was tried and found innocent.
it's time this country turn off nacy grace, and get over it.
if i saw anthony in target, i would probably buy her a coke, and talk to her if i could. she's a free woman, and should be treated as such. it's a free country. as of now, she's guilty of lieing 4 times, no more.
you never lie?
get over it, move on. much more serious problems going on. and what happened here, happens everyday, you just never hear of it.
9:21 so clueless and stupid! Well then you take her in!
The case the state put on was weak and all circumstancial. To me to even call 99 percent of the so called evidence circumstancial was a leap. More like wishful thinking.
To say that 100 percent of the time 911 is called when a child dies accidently (Dr G) is simply not true. We had a case here in MD where a child had died accidently and officials weren't notified until almost a year later.
They wanted everyone to believe chloroform was somehow involved because someone had searched for it 84 times online! Sounds incriminating until it came out in the trial that another computer extraction program only found chloroform searched for 1 time.
The bigger question is what is Nancy Disgrace and the HLN team going to do? I've never seen such exploitation of a dead child all disguised as seeking justice.
Realizing that it was a circumstantial case but was heavy with circumstances. Biggest error was asking for the death penalty. Go to Google and check how many females have been executed. Certainly not a young, attractive, w/f, with no history of serious crimes. Cannot believe that the jurors were 6 - 6 for guilty of manslaughter and ended up that all said guilty. For sure had I been on that panel we would still be in deliberations!!!! If just one would have had the cojones to vote guilty there may have been a chance for the prosecution to make better decisions the next time. We here in Florida are appalled with that jury. Me thinks they just wanted to get back to Pinellas Co. Grrrrrrrrrr jackkcharl@aol.co
I think the opposite, Jack. I think the jury had "cojones" to vote not guilty on the more serious charges. Most were aware of public opinion and atleast one even admitted during jury selection they thought she was guilty.
I'm more appalled with the state's attorney's decision to even have charged murder so quickly. Neglect and obstruction would have been the prudent way to charge and hold off on murder until the parents decided to tell the truth about when and why Casey really left the residence.
I don't understand why she was never charged with at least child abuse, so sad! If she didn't kill her daughter who did and is the case still open. I have not heard anything about searching for the real killer if they really believe that she didn't do it.
I totally agree with the not guilty on the more serious charge, however I think there was more than enough for a manslaughter charge. At least one should have stayed till a hung jury and then do a redo. Unless someone speaks up there will be answers. I think there is more to this than meets the eye. Cannot ever begin to fathom that someone would make an accident look like homicide. Having watched a great deal of the trial I think the prosecution did not do their homework very well. They were very articulate and gave excellent closings but Ashton sitting there smiking was not called for. Baez should be held accountable for all the alleged charges made during the opening and then completely failed to substantiate them. But to repeat what I said, if I had been on that panel we would still be sitting there LOL
Gotta respect the fact that she was tried and she served her time and it's over. There are many guilty people walking around every day(not saying she's guilty) just saying, no one is innocent. I ain't judging the girl, it's over.
But Jack, according to the 2 jurors who have spoken publically, they based their verdict on the lack of "how" and "when" and to a lessor degree "why." Considering that to convict on manslaughter wouldn't make sense.
I agree but there has been at least two that in retrospect have stated that they thought she was guilty. If those two had stuck to their guns we would have had a mistrial. As to the "how" there was evidence of the Choloform, the duct tape... As to the "when" seems to me that most stated she died on June 16 (?).... and the "why" was certainly referred to her wish to live a different lifestyle. Granted all the above is circumstantial but many cases are determined by such evidence. I agree that different jurors had different mind sets but I still say had I been on that panel there would have been a mistrial and then possibly a new one. I feel that with all the lies and wild, costly goose chases, she desreved some punishment. She is a physcopath. I hope she has one miserable life ahead of her
Jack, the state put on 2 witnesses to testify about chloroform and they contradicted one another!
The first witness from a research lab claimed "shockingly high" levels and the FBI expert MIchael Rickenbach testified the chloroform levels were comparable to those found in household cleaners. Rickenbach also testified that chloroform is found in water. Cindy Anthony admitted to trying to clean out the car using household cleaning products.
Same with the computer searches. When one says 84 and another just one, the defendant gets the benefit. Incidently the chloroform search/es showed up a day after a guy Casey was dating put up a banner on his Myspace that said "Win Her Over With Chloroform." It is not unreasonable IMO for Casey then to have googled chloroform to see what was meant by the banner.
As for her wish to have a differnt lifestyle-no evidence was every presented that she thought the child was a burden.
Well she certainly spread enough lies and with her staying muted there has to be a reason that would be acceptable had she not been involved in some way. I certainly understand the judicial system but, damn it, she has some culpability and should be punished for maintaining her involvement with her silence. Just hope that it catches up to her in some way. Wonder if her and Jose have a thing going?????????
Jack, when you get the chance google "Rick Plesea" and look for his interview he gave the investigators. He is Cindy's brother.
According to Rick,(as told to him by he and Cindy's mother, Shirley)Cindy had confronted Casey Father's Day evening about a check Casey had forged out of the grandfather's nursing home account. The confrontation turned physical and sometime during the night Casey left along with Caylee.
None of this was brought in during the trial-maybe considered hearsay?
I am a firm believer, had they held off on the murder charges, it's a good possiblity Cindy may have cracked. I also believe when they put the death penalty it became a "them against us" thing for the Anthony's and they were going to do whatever it took to save Casey from a death sentence.
Damn, you just gave me about 2 months of reading with the Uncle. The whole family is dysfunctional. Just watched HDL discuss various aspects with one being the odor in the car and it was pointed out that at least 6 people, most with experience of death, all said the odor was decomposition.
I along with everyone else have no idea as to what happened but will go to my grave believeing that she was involved. For 31 days, while people are questioning the whereabouts of Caylee this little bitch was partying, getting tattoos and lying her butt off. Even many officials of the court were shocked by the verdict and were dismayed. All I can hope is that she has a miserable life ahead of her. Back to reading some of the Rick/Cindy dialog
Jack, I gave you bad info. It wasn't Rick who talks about the Father's Day fight and Casey taking Caylee and walking out in the middle of the night. It was actually Rick's ex wife Pam Plesea. And it wasn't a police interview, but a reporter she talked to. You can google her name to find it online.
Did you happen to catch the NY Times article this morning concerning the chloroform searches? Appears as though the software developer contacted the prosecutor durning the trial to let them know the data (84 searches) was incorrect! They never corrected the incorrect testimony! That is bad!
Well I think the whole thing was a cluster----. Guess it will quiet down a bit till she is located. I think she would do well in a Tijuana brothel
In light of this new info coming out about the chloroform searches the prosecution may be lucky they didnt get a guilty verdict. Withholding that evidence could have made for a powerful appeal.
Seems to be another example of how they mishandled the case starting with Dr G's revelation of homicide with an undetermined cause, the overcharging and the death penalty and evidence presented that proved nothing except speculation.
What's going to be interesting is how Nancy Grace and HLN spins this failure of the prosecutors to inform the defense and the jurors of the search mistake.
With all the "no's" and the "Hell, no's" I will predict, should a book become a reality, it will soar to the top of the book sales overnight!!!!
