The Casey Anthony Trial

Casey Marie Anthony was born on March 19, 1986 to the parents of George and Cindy Anthony. She had grown up in Orlando, Florida along with her older brother Lee Anthony and her parents. She spent most of her time partying with friends in Downtown Orlando. Partying seemed like her favorite thing to do. She also lived a life full of secrets and lies. Casey would soon prove how good she really is at lying. After high school, Casey got a job working at Universal Studios. This is where she met Jesse Grund. Jesse and Casey started dating in January 2005, and their relationship blossomed, though it did come as a shock to Jesse when Casey told him six months she was pregnant and he was the father.

Cindy told the dispatcher that she needed a deputy to come to her house and she hadn’t seen her granddaughter in a month. When the Sheriff arrived Cindy explained to him that they got a letter in the mail that Casey’s car was in a tow yard and needed to be picked up. So George went to go pick up her car and the car smelled like there had been a dead body in it. The sheriff pulled Casey to the side to ask her some questions about when she last seen her daughter. Casey told him that she had dropped Cay lee off at Zany, her nanny’s house at the Saw grass Mills Apartment complex on June 16, 2008. Zany told Casey she was keeping Cay lee because Casey wasn’t acting like a mom. Casey told the Sheriff she didn’t report Cay lee missing sooner because she was out looking for her.

The prosecutors believe that Casey used chloroform to render her daughter unconscious before putting duct tape over her nose and mouth to suffocate her. Then, Casey left Cay lee’s body in the trunk of her car for a couple days before disposing it. The prosecution painted Casey as a party girl who killed her daughter to free herself from the responsibilities of being a parent. The fact that Casey was told about the drowning theory in jail by her own mother and that this is where she got the idea for such a defense was also brought up. Casey Anthony has lied so many times to family and law enforcement about the whereabouts of her daughter. As her daughter was missing during the first thirty days she continued to go out partying with friends and she also went out and got a tattoo on her back of “Bella Vita” which in Italian means beautiful life. Casey wasn’t acting like a concerned mother looking for her missing

How could it be that this women, whom everyone was sure had murdered her child, walked away with only 4 misdemeanors? All of which were of making a false statement to law enforcement. Our justice system says that the innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Unfortunately because of that justice system there is no justice for Caylee Anthony.

    Issues: In this scenario a student maintained residence in the town of Trenton, a community that does not have a high school. Students from this area are able to enrolled in Ellsworth or MDI high schools, however, due to behavioral issues the student was placed in a more restrictive environment in Bangor (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.2). During the spring of the 1998-1999 academic year the student returned home without “notifying the Trenton School Department of the student’s self initiated change in residency/educational placement” (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.2). The student was denied enrollment in both of the available high schools due to his/her intended date of enrollment, and failure to pass a background check (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.5). Interestingly, the issues addressed in this case do not consider the lawfulness of the schools’ denial for enrollment, but instead focused on Trenton School Department and if it sufficiently provided the student…

    The Terri Schiavo Case

    • 1626 Words
    • 7 Pages

    On February 28, 1990, twenty six-year old Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain damage when her heart stopped for five minutes. Terri's condition was the subject of intense debate and media scrutiny over the subject of euthanasia and guardianship. Given the circumstances of Terri's vegetated condition, and no physical proof of her wishes, the last word on whether or not Terri would stay alive was given to her husband Michael Schiavo, by the state of Florida. Michael's argument was that he was carrying out her wishes to not be kept alive in that state. Terri's family challenged Michael's claims saying she is responsive and in no discomfort, that her condition does not meet the medical definition of "vegetative," and that she would not wish to die. Although she never wrote a living will expressing a wish to refuse nutrition or medical treatment if disabled, her condition and future life span should have been her family's decision rather then her husbands. Despite of Michael's intentions, the method of starvation as a means of relieving her of her pains and suffering can still be seen as down right unethical as it is immoral. Terri suffered a legal and public murder. Though Mr. Michael Schiavo's intention and objective were presented as selfless, the government had failed to look into other mitigating reasons for his choice.…
