About
Casey Anthony was charged with first-degree murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony, whose skeletal remains were found in December 2008, roughly six months after Caylee was reported missing. After a highly publicized six-week trial, Casey Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter on July 5, 2011 — one of the most shocking verdicts in modern American criminal history. She was found guilty only of four misdemeanor counts of lying to law enforcement. The verdict prompted widespread public outrage and debate. Caylee had last been seen alive in June 2008.
