Casey Anthony: What’s the best option for defense team?

What is the best defense for Casey Anthony?

WESH-Channel 2 explored that issue after a series of evidence rulings by Chief Judge Belvin Perry bolstered the prosecution. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Jury selection starts May 9.

“The scientific evidence is pointing towards the fact that Casey Anthony knows or had knowledge of the events that took place with this child,” said retired Circuit Judge O.H. Eaton Jr., who is WESH’s new legal analyst.

In Bob Kealing’s report, Eaton saw only three viable defenses for Anthony:

1. Say Caylee’s death was an accident, which Eaton picked as the best option.

2. Say Caylee’s death was a crime committed by someone else

3. Argue that the state has failed to prove that Caylee was murdered

Of the prosecution, Eaton said, “They have charged her with premeditated murder, and they’re going to have to prove that.”

What do you think?
