The Casey Anthony Defense: A Glance at Their Case
June 21, 2011 By Kenneth J. Ryan, Ph.D.

In making a motion for acquittal, defense attorney Cheney Mason offered interesting insight into the plans to defend Casey Anthony. It helps to understand the defense strategy and, in a very straightforward look at it, above all else the Anthony defense team is required to “best represent” the client. In so doing, they will do their level best to see that the jury will not be able to convict Casey Anthony because:

1. Caylee Anthony was not murdered by anyone, she died accidentally;
2. If Caylee Anthony was murdered, it wasn’t by Casey Anthony;
3. If Casey Anthony participated in any crime, it was to conceal an accidental death;
4. The police acquired evidence illegally, and
5. The story that Caylee Anthony died in the family pool is no more or less plausible than the story line offered by the state.
