On July 5, 2011, a jury found Casey Anthony not guilty of the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.
During the six-week long trial – described by Time magazine as the ‘social media trial of the century’ – Casey was branded the “most hated mum in America”.
The not-guilty verdict was met with public outrage and many still believe Casey is responsible for her daughter’s death.
Now, nine years on, Casey Anthony has spoken to the press for the first time.
In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press, 30-year-old Anthony said she believes her daughter – who would be 12 were she still alive – would be a “total badass”.

"The last time I saw my daughter I believed she was alive and was going to be OK, and that's what was told to me."
I'm sorry, but does this statement make any logical sense to anyone? In what scenario would such a statement make sense? Only in scenarios where a third party is showing you your baby and saying "Don't fret, she's not dead, just unconscious and she'll be fine". And even if something like that was the case or not, this woman's silence (not calling for emergency services, or not reporting the little girl missing, whichever option fitted actual events) it is that silence that clearly points to her either being guilty of, or complicit with whatever/whoever killed the poor girl. Actions always speak louder than words.
Who utilises any quantity of chloroform to keep a child quiet?!
