On Nov. 30, 2012, Naples News reported that the new Lifetime movie based upon the Casey Anthony trial has a premiere date. The movie “Prosecuting Casey Anthony” will debut on Jan. 19, at 8 p.m. on the Lifetime network. The movie is based on Jeff Ashton’s book of the same name and Rob Lowe will appear in the lead role. Though Anthony does not profit from the film, and reportedly is a minor character as the movie is told from Ashton’s perspective, some refuse to watch the film due to their belief that it will glorify Anthony.
Casey Anthony continues to be the most vilified person in the country and revelations of missed evidence has thrust the case back in the spotlight. In November, it was learned that the prosecution missed searches on Anthony’s computer for the misspelled words “fool proof suffication.” Defense Attorney Jose Baez spoke of the searches in his book “Presumed Guilty: Casey Anthony: The Inside Story,” and said he was waiting for the prosecution to bring up the searches during the trial but they never did. Though the searches occurred the last day Caylee was seen alive, Baez counters that they were made by someone interested in committing suicide, not committing murder.

Still, many websleuthers and those following the case suspect the search terms could have been used in trial to show with greater conviction that Anthony was guilty of the charges she was ultimately acquitted of including first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child and aggravated child abuse.
Anthony has kept a low profile since her 2011 acquittal and her whereabouts are unknown. The civil trial Zenaida Gonzalez vs. Casey Anthony has been delayed and will no longer being in Jan. 2013. It is unclear when the civil trial will start, as Anthony is currently appealing her criminal conviction of lying to law enforcement officers and will deal with that case before the civil trial.
What do you think about the Lifetime movie? Are you going to watch it?

I lot have a lot of weird internet searches, I hope I am never accused of a crime, they'd think I was bat shit.
I agree with you. I feel like without a video of her suffocating the child the jury couldn't be fully convinced.
But to the people who say that it was based too much on circumstantial evidence -- I wonder if they said the same thing when the public crucified Scott Peterson.
I didn't have any doubt in my mind she was going to get convicted- any idiot could see she was guilty- so when the verdict came out it was just insanity. but i guess the prosecution dropped the ball and the jury were dumber than idiots.
Many, many x-rays got pushed back that day.
Capt. Angelo Nieves acknowledged the WKMG-TV report that his office’s computer investigator missed a June 16, 2008 Google search for “fool-proof” suffocation. That was the last day 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was seen alive.
WKMG reported that the sheriff’s investigators pulled 17 vague entries from Anthony’s Internet Explorer browser. However, they never looked at the Firefox browser that was commonly used by the “Tot Mom.” More than 1,200 Firefox searches, including the one for “fool-proof suffocation,” were overlooked.
Whoever conducted the search misspelled suffocation as “suffication.” That person then clicked an article about suicide that discussed taking poison and putting a bag over one’s head.
girl, please.
Look, I'm in law school with a criminal law emphasis, so I know this is par for the course, but I still couldn't help thinking that she needs to just count her blessings that the prosecution and investigators bungled this whole mess of a case, take the sentence that she ALREADY SERVED and fade into obscurity. Honey, nobody is gonna care whether you have a criminal record, because your name will still be on there. Just be grateful that you got incredibly lucky and move on.

Like, if she applied at a job, I don't think it would matter whether she had the felony on there or not, you know. The type of places that are likely to hire her would do so whether or not she has some random conviction in it.
