Thrown Out
When the defense made those claims of abuse, George testified that nothing like that ever happened. The judge chastised the defense and instructed them not to bring up these accusations ever again. However, it is possible that this influenced the verdict since the jury was still able to hear these claims.
What Happened?
If you ask the defense, their version of events includes Caylee accidentally drowning in the pool behind the Anthony home. After that, George must have told Casey that she would face jail time for child neglect if word got out and helped her get rid of the body in the forest behind their house. They claimed that it explains why Casey behaved so nonchalantly in the month that followed Caylee’s disappearance.
