Casey Will Avoid The Death Penalty

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The State Attorney’s Office announced late Friday that they will not be seeking the death penalty for murder charges 22-year-old Casey Anthony is facing in the death of her daughter.

In a release about the decision, the State Attorney’s Office wrote: “This afternoon, after consideration of the law and unique facts applicable to the above case, the State filed its notice that it is not in the best interest of the people of the State of Florida to pursue the death penalty as a potential sentence. Therefore, the State of Florida will not be seeking the death penalty against defendant Casey Anthony.”

Casey is facing several charges in connection with the disappearance and suspected murder of her daughter, Caylee. The charges include first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

This is clearly because Orange County police have yet to find a body in this case.
