I don't know why but I found myself sucked in to this case (a few years late). I want to read the other side's story, though I know more about the prosecution than the defense. Reading this book made it make more sense to me. Of course I'd rather believe the little girl's death was an accident than a premeditated murder. It feels better to think people make terrible mistakes instead of thinking people are terrible psychopaths. Maybe I won't read the prosecution lawyer's book. Leave it as it is, even if it's not the whole truth. Because no one really knows.
One thing though, the jury made the right decision. There just wasn't any proof one way or the other.

Leaving aside everything I think about the Casey Anthony case, one of the most high profile cases in America, this was a super boring audiobook.
Narrated by Jim Frangione in its entirety (there's nothing wrong with Jim's voice, but I wish it had been broken up with some testimony from others), this felt like one long closing speech. Whatever my opinions on the case or the verdict are, this is interesting in terms of what it brings to light about the failures of the Police Department during various steps in the investigation. Some of the stuff that was omitted or allowed at times was disgraceful. BUT - this was titled "Casey Anthony: the Inside Story". Not, as it should have been, "How a 'Rookie Lawyer' won one of America's most High Profile Cases".
Given that this is written by Casey's lawyer, how do we know any of this is true? At times he seems much, MUCH more annoyed about how he himself was treated by the media and police, and seems to be more offended at being called a "rookie lawyer" than any perceived injustice with regard to his client. The book seems to be much less about Casey and much more about Báez' journey from a relatively inexperienced lawyer to overnight notoriety. Which is fine - he's perfectly entitled to write a book about himself and his journey and experiences - I just wish I had known that's what I was getting into.
I had to abandon it about halfway through because it just felt really mundane, and as I already know the outcome of the trial, I couldn't face sitting through another 6 hours of listening to Frangione droning on about how the cops didn't do their job properly.
