About this listen
Filled with explosive new information, this is the definitive inside story of the case that captivated the nation and the verdict that no one saw coming....
It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?
In Imperfect Justice, prosecutor Jeff Ashton, one of the principal players in the case's drama, sheds light on those questions and much more, telling the behind-the-scenes story of the investigation, the trial, and the now-infamous verdict. Providing an inside account of the case, Ashton, a career prosecutor for the state of Florida, goes where the press and pundits have only speculated, detailing what really happened during the investigation, showing how the prosecution built their case, and explaining how a woman so shrouded in suspicion was proclaimed innocent.
Moving beyond the simple explanations, Ashton offers an in-depth look at the complex figure of Casey Anthony, a woman whose lies he spent three years trying to understand. And yet this focus on Casey came with its own risks; here he details how this widespread fixation on Casey - both in the media and in the trial - may have undermined the case itself. As everyone got caught up in the quest to understand the supposed villain, somehow the victim, Caylee, was all but forgotten - not just to the public, but more important, to the jury.
Complete with never-before-revealed information about the case and the accused, Ashton examines what the prosecution got right, what they got wrong, and why he remains completely convinced of Casey Anthony's guilt.

Praying for a happy ending, friends and family stood by Laci's grieving husband Scott. Four months later, Laci's decomposed body was found in the murky waters of San Francisco Bay. The body of her child had washed ashore about a mile away, after a possible "coffin birth." It was a sad closure to an exhaustive search, and a grim end to a marriage that by all accounts had appeared to be perfect.

Story
As news broke of a killer rampaging across the tiny community of Portapique, Nova Scotia, late on April 18, 2020, details were oddly hard to come by. Who was the killer? Why was he not apprehended? What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter.

Billionaires, philanthropists, socialites...victims. Barry and Honey Sherman appeared to lead charmed lives. But the world was shocked in late 2017 when their bodies were found in a bizarre tableau in their elegant Toronto home. First described as murder-suicide - belts looped around their necks, they were found seated beside their basement swimming pool - police later ruled it a staged, targeted double murder. Nothing about the case made sense to friends of the founder of one of the world’s largest generic pharmaceutical firms and his wife....

Excellent
This book was absolutely fantastic. Jeff Ashton provided so much detail and description of events that were never reported. It was so nice as well that he was the narrator, it added that this was HIS insight into the case and trial.
I followed the news and the trial of this event very closely at the time. The verdict alway puzzled me and outraged me. Now I understand.

Imperfect 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.
