Beautiful Liar?
The case of dead toddler Caylee captivated America, and came to a surprise close last week. Did Casey Anthony get away with murder?

Excerpt:

Bella Vita: so read the tattoo inked on 22-year-old Casey Anthony’s shoulder to commemorate her “beautiful life” in the summer of 2008. Thirty-one beautiful days of parties, new boyfriends, and “hot body” contests. Thirty-one beautiful days without her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.

The single mother told her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, that Caylee was with a nanny (whimsically named “Zanny”) while Casey worked as an event coordinator at Universal Studios. Then an impound lot called the family to retrieve Casey’s car, which had been abandoned on a roadside. The vehicle reeked of rotting flesh—“like there’s a dead body in the damn car,” as Cindy wailed in a frantic 911 call to Florida police. And thus began the most sensational murder case to grip America since the O. J. Simpson trial, one that came to a shocking culmination last week as the jury delivered its verdict on Casey’s innocence or guilt.
