Casey Anthony Continues to Fight Court Battles over the Death of Her Daughter

When three-year-old Caylee Marie was reported missing by her mother, Casey Anthony, all of Orange County, Florida began to search for her. When her body was recovered in a wooded area a few months later, it sent the county into an uproar. The mother was arrested for the murder of her daughter and frantic investigations began. The mother’s attorney is now working to prove that Orange County Police did not react properly when a 911 caller reported seeing something in the woods where she was found. He made three calls over a period of three days, but police never fully investigated. The attorney believes that he can get the police department for negligence, and may be able to free his client.

The mother is also in the process of being sued for defamation of character by her daughter’s babysitter. The mother made claims that the babysitter had abducted her child. However, Anthony’s attorney has filed papers to request that the defamation trial be moved until after the criminal trial. Oftentimes, when a child goes missing, or ends up dead, the parents are the first to be blamed.
