Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony
Jeff Ashton, part of the prosecuting grupp in the Casey Anthony trial, gives the definitive story of the investigation, the rättegång, and the acquittal that shocked a nation. With behind-the-scenes data, including many details that have not been made public, Ashton describes what the prosecution got right, what they got wrong, and why he remains completely convinced of Casey Anthony's guilt. For three years, the case of the death of Caylee Anthony gripped the American public. People watched in disbelief as Caylee's mother tried to justify her bizarre behavior surrounding her daughter's disappearance, and eventual death. The resulting media firestorm reached a fever pitch when Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder by a Florida jury.
