Casey Anthony trial commenced on Monday with the jury deliberating on whether Casey had killed her 2-year old daughter Caylee in 2008 and had attempted to cover it up by lying about her whereabouts.
Casey’s lawyers are confident that the jury will return a verdict in Casey’s favor and she will be acquitted. If Casey, however, is found guilty, she may be sentenced to death.
