The next charge the jury could have found 25-year-old Casey Anthony guilty of. It carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. Juror No. 2 believed the mother was guilty of “culpable negligence” as required of that charge. He wasn’t alone.
The vote on Tuesday was 6-6 for manslaughter. The two sides hardened. They started talking over one another. The jury foreman calmed them all down.
Here the defense’s theory was key: They told the jury that Caylee accidentally drowned and the family tried to cover it up. But the defense also accused George Anthony of sexually abusing his daughter Casey — a charge he denied. The defense said the abuse trained Casey Anthony to lie and live in denial.
The jury didn’t believe anything George Anthony said on the stand, according to Juror No. 2.
But more importantly to the jurors who opposed the manslaughter charge, no one could say who was Caylee’s caretaker — the mother or the grandparents — when the child actually died.

GEORGE ANTHONY BACK TO DEPOSITING MONEY IN CASEY’S JAIL ACCOUNT
Somehow, Casey’s parents continue to give her money to purchase snacks and personal items in jail. Cindy deposited $100 into her jail money account on July 10th. Her father made a trip to the jail to on July 7th ,depositing $140. In the past, George had stopped depositing money into her account allegedly due to Casey’s sexual abuse allegations.
What is Casey buying:
According to jail records for the month of February 2011, Casey has been ordering a lot of pens. In February 2011, Casey placed two orders for a total of 20 pens. Among items purchase by Casey recently are Shampoo & Conditioner, Black Pens, Letter Pads, Pony Tail Holders, Bottled Water, Tootsie Rolls, Nacho Chips, BBQ Chips, Jolly Ranchers, Peanut Butter, and Jalapeno Nacho Dip
It makes no sense that the jury acquitted her of all charges- even if they believed she was abused- she still abused Caylee by not looking for her/reporting what happened and instead going partying.
I can understand the jury not believing George, I found it hard to believe anyone in that family. I think as messed up as Casey is, most think there has to be a reason and the answer is in the house she grew up in- basically one or both parents. It could be that she is just flat mentally ill with no real reason- but it also makes it easier to believe some type of abuse.
I have no idea why the parents continue to give her money- I wouldn’t if she was my child and I had no part in Caylee’s death or cover-up. Just me, but if one of my kids is sorry enough to murder my grandbaby I would be done with them.
