ORLANDO, Fla. — After a trial that riveted the nation with its twists and turns, Casey Anthony was found not guilty on Tuesday of murdering her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.
The jury deliberated for more than 10 hours over the last two days — and after hearing 33 days of testimony.
The 12 jurors on Monday spent about six hours dissecting the case following a rebuttal summation by the prosecution. Perry separated the main jury of seven women and five men from five alternates and sent them into the deliberation room just after noon.
Prosecutors argued Monday morning that Anthony killed her daughter in June 2008 because the toddler interrupted her carefree partying and love life.
The jury received the more than 400 pieces of evidence in the jury room that have been by both sides in the case since the trial began in late May.
