Jeff Ashton was part of the prosecution team in the Florida homicide trial of Casey Anthony, the single mother accused of murdering her little girl, Caylee. The most sensational courtroom drama since the infamous O.J. Simpson affair, the Casey Anthony trial had people coast-to-coast riveted. In his stunning true crime masterwork, Imperfect Justice, Ashton gives a fascinating and impassioned insider’s account of the investigation, the trial, and the acquittal that shocked the nation, and makes a powerful case as to why allowing Anthony to walk free was a devastating travesty of justice.

This is a good audiobook with general coverage of the Casey Anthony prosecution. I liked Jeff Ashton's narration and he keeps readers engaged. Chapter 8 was the point when I got pulled me in as it gets into the specifics of comparing the real vs. phony Casey timeline over the 31 days Caylee was missing. I really wanted to better understand what was going on and how. There is brief biographical information about George and Cindy (Casey's parents) and general family dynamics. It did not answer all my questions but did give clarity on many questions I had.

By Chapter 14 the book gets into the nitty gritty of the trial, courtroom politics, behavior of counsel on both sides, etc. It seemed to go on forever and by Chapter 19 (of 26) I was beginning to tune out. There is ample commentary about the personal, professional and stunt behavior of Baez (lead defense).

If you're looking for the inside take on the legal proceedings from the pov of prosecution team, this is the book for you. If you're looking for personal information about the Anthony family, answers about Caylee, answers about Casey's behavior, and events outside the courtroom, there is not much.

One thing is abundantly clear to me however and that is Casey Anthony is guilty. Her web of lies and manipulations sicken me beyond words, to say nothing of her how her parents behaved in the aftermath. The story the defense went with, implicating George, was absolutely ridiculous. It seemed to me that once Casey was arrested and the case turned over to lawyers it was all a circus of legal moves and Caylee was all but forgotten about in the big picture.

I choose to focus my thinking on Caylee. She was an age when she would only be babbling a few words, still in diapers, growing teeth, just a baby really, a wee soul who deserved a chance at life. Babies are helpless and trusting and don't understand the grown up world. All they want is affection and attention and stability. What misery to have Casey as a loser mother who didn't care, who pawned her off to anyone, anytime. My heart breaks imagining the scene in the swamp. It's unimaginable. RIP Caylee.
