Casey Anthony Trial Draws to a Close: What Will the Jury Decide?

After more than 33 days of testimony and 400 pieces of evidence, the Casey Anthony trial is finally coming to a close. On Sunday, closing arguments will begin and the lawyers will have their last chance to try to persuade the jury before they deliberate.
With each side's case deficient in definitive evidence, Florida A&M; professor Karin Moore said jurors might lean on the most glaring thing presented to them.
That could mean judging Casey Anthony's actions during the month Caylee was missing, Moore said.
"If she knew her child had died or was missing, she was not acting like a grieving mother," Moore said. "It may be enough for a jury."
Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder (which would mean a possible death sentence or life in prison if convicted), aggravated child abuse (a 30-year prison term), aggravated manslaughter of a child (a 30-year prison term), and four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
What do you think the jury will decide?

Police confirm ID of girl, 6, found dead in Delray Beach canal



Confirming what police already suspected, the medical examiner positively identified the little girl found in a black duffel bag in the C-15 canal as 6-year-old Ju'Tyra Allen, a Delray Police Department spokeswoman said in a statement today.Ju'Tyra's body was found near that of her half-brother, Jermaine McNeil, 10, whose body was identified yesterday.
Police suspect that the children's mother, Felicia Brown, is also dead; they think she is the formerly unidentified corpse found in a garbage dump in West Palm Beach in August.
Brown's former boyfriend, Clem Beauchamp, 34, has been named as a suspect in the case but not charged; he has been arrested on an unrelated federal crime.
