“While the family may never know what happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter of their life,” said a statement issued on behalf of Casey Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony, and her brother, Lee Anthony, by their attorney, Mark Lippman. “They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.”
“There are no winners in this case,” Baez told reporters after the verdict. “Caylee has passed on far, far too soon.” He said his motivation for the last three years has been seeking justice for Caylee as well as Casey Anthony.
“Casey did not murder Caylee,” he said. “It’s that simple. And today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction.”
Another defense attorney, J. Cheney Mason, said he hopes the verdict “is a lesson to those of you having indulged in media assassination for three years.”
