Casey Anthony Jailed On First-Degree Murder In Daughter’s Death

UPDATE IV: Florida grand jury has returned a seven-count indictment charging Casey Anthony with first-degree murder in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Lawson Lamar, the state attorney for Orange County, Florida, said the first count is a capital charge — which could carry a penalty of life in prison or death.

She was also charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to police. 

The 19 grand jurors — 10 women and nine men — deliberated for about half an hour after hearing from police, a cadaver dog handler, an FBI agent and the missing child’s grandfather.

Anthony, who spent most of the day at her lawyer’s office, surrendered about 90 minutes after the sealed indictment was returned. Prosecutors are asking Anthony be held without bond. (CNN)

Casey Anthony’s Jose Bias has stated in an impromtu meeting following the grand jury decision that “She’s doing her best to stand strong, to stand up to the powers that are working against her”. He also stated that “She (Casey) has been living a nightmare,” and ”she has a missing child. She’s also a child.” Well Attorney Bias, at least Casey Anthony can say she is still living.

UPDATE V: George Anthony video with his attorney before testifying against Casey Anthony. Thankfully, George asked everyone to pray for his grand daughter Caylee Anthony.
