nothing.
I have a question about double jeopardy: what happens when new,damning evidence appears after a person has been acquitted?
Casey could get on TV right this moment and say, “Yep I killed the brat....what are you gonna say?” And nothing can be done!
The only thing they can do is try him on a lesser charge.
I suspect most investigations are not quite up to the standard of Sherlock Holmes.
I will say I once was really impressed with a local Sheriff’s deputy. My late parents home was vacant until we sold it. During that time someone slipped in and stole an old wall clock.
The deputy found where they had made a slight mark trying to get into a locked window then did get into another one without breaking anything. I had looked the place over and would never have noticed. He took fingerprints but they never did solve it.
He also found tire tracks behind the house which I had also not seen. The back yard was grass and he literally had to point them out to me.
I bet he was an exception to the rule tho.
Stinks to high heaven (and it always has). Best guess is that she was messing with someone in this mess. She WAS/is a tramp...geez...
I suppose a federal case could be made against her for depriving the little girl of her civil right to life.
Heck they retried those cops in California years ago after they were aquitted by using that method.
Is she guilty of the Cold Blooded Murder of her own child?
Sure sounds like it.
Not much anyone can do about it now, but she will be judged, and I would bet her life will be anything but happy.
Yes, circumstaces pointed to that conclusion but that is not how the law works.
I watched a show last night on TLC where a NY man was convicted for rape soley on the “victims” testimony. Her rape kit was negative yet the girl gave such compelling testimony that the jury convicted even though there was no evidence to support she was raped.
The prosecution never admitted their error and stood by the conviction even though they were proved to be wrong.
He spent two years in Sing Sing before the girl recanted her story. She was subsequently sentenced to 1-3 years.
Our justice system is not perfect, but it is the best in the world.
If true, that law enforcement agency/DA’s office is a JOKE!!!! They need to hire FULL TIME ‘computer people’ that can dig into such things, and not just have some ‘tech savvy’ cop that took a week or two long class and handles it all for them when such issues arise....
As to your question (was a Prosecutor for 25 years), double jeopardy absolutely precludes any further prosecution for the same, or lesser included, crime regardless of what evidence is uncovered. She could confess and they couldn’t prosecute her.
Amazing...we listened to endless tesimony of residue in Anthony’s car truck, and whether he mother could be on computer from home etc...but something obvious like a google search they missed?
I knew this woman killed her child and the smoking gun was overlooked...amazing!

Who the hell did they think did it? I can’t believe they wouldn’t have been suspicious when she didn’t even report her child missing for 30 or over days. BIG RED FLAG
Unreal,even I know that.
Let's see them prove that they aren't.
However, since Ashton won the DA's job (and was congratulated at his victory party by no less than George Anthony), and wrote a book about the case (and would probably have to recuse from any new investigation), don't expect this to go anywhere.
Get used to third world incompetence. It is us now.
