Argumentative Essay: The Murder Of Casey Anthony

Improved Essays
The mysterious disappearance of Caylee Anthony and why I believe Casey Anthony is the murderer of her own child. What we know about Casey is that she was a troubled teen, she had a history of being a party girl. She also was caught in numerous lies that started as a young teen. She got pregnant at the age of eighteen, lied about it and never knew who the father was. She even lied about graduating high school until the day she could no longer hide it.
It is to my understanding that Caylee Anthony became more than a missing child. On June, 9 2008 Casey reports her daughter missing then later tells police that she was taken to a baby sitter, which turned out to be a lie. She was charged for lying to police. However, Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mother also called police and mentioned that her grandchild may be missing on the date of July, 15 2008. Casey then admits to police that she had not seen Caylee for more than thirty days.

Nearly a month later police search the abandoned car with a Cadaver dog, a type of dog that sniffs out for human decomposition, in which the dog picked up the scent of a decomposing body. They also find hair, dirt, and a chloroform stain to which they later find out Casey had done a google search on fool proof suffocation using chloroform.

Then on September third Preliminary tests prove the presence of chloroform in the trunk of the

    Although I do believe that Casey Anthony was involved in the murder of her child, I'm not sure if she actually killed her daughter. One of the main reasons for this belief, is that Anthony’s statements are riddled with lies and discrepancies. For instance on June 9, 2008 Casey claims that her daughter, Caylee, has gone missing. Later on she states that she dropped Caylee off with the babysitter, that didn't exist.…

    Did you know from Roe v. Wade in 1973 to 2011, about 53 million legal abortions were performed in the United States - an average of 1.4 million a year? The debate over whether or not abortion should be legal continues to divide this country today long after the Supreme Court’s 7-2 ruling on Roe v. Wade declaring the procedure a fundamental right on January 22, 1973. There are three different views on the issue of abortion: the extreme conservative view, the extreme liberal view and moderate view, which lie in between both extremes. The extreme conservative view, identifying themselves as anti-abortionists (also known as being pro-life), contend that personhood begins at conception, therefore abortion by their definition is homicide. The second view on the issue of abortion is the extreme liberal view.…

    Abortion, defined by Miriam-Webster’s dictionary as “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus,” is an act that has been debated about for many, many years. It has become an issue that people feel very strongly for or against and has even indirectly nearly caused a government shut down in recent months (Hitchner). Not only does it affect women, but also the potential fathers and their family members. It doesn’t just affect one person and so it becomes a national, heated issue, and not just any simple issue, but one that is very complex and complicated. In a country that values freedom and choice, do women in the United States really have the right to choose what…

    Throughout the book, Just Mercy, the encounters Bryan Stevenson had with inmates was eye-opening to me. When one looks at the criminal justice system as a whole, every person convicted of their crime is looked upon as rightfully guilty. After reading, Just Mercy, that is clearly not the case. There are many people put into jail or even death row for crimes they did not even commit. The case with Walter McMillian is a perfect example of this.…

    I.Introduction The topic of abortion is currently one of the most controversial issues. The 1973 supreme court ruling of Roe v. Wade allowed for women to legally obtain abortions throughout their entire pregnancy, however, conditions were put into place that allowed for states to regulate abortions during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

This ruling has left our country divided in half by those who are for and against abortion. Those who oppose Roe v. Wade are referred to as pro-life and those in agreement are pro-choice.…
