Presumed Guilty: Casey Anthony: The Inside Story by Jose Baez, Peter Golenbock
4.0

I started this book with some serious doubts about Jose Baez's credibility and his reputation, but I put that aside to focus on the defense's opinion on Casey Anthony's case and trial.

Baez points out multiple instances of shoddy police work in the Caylee Anthony investigation and he
pokes considerable holes in the theory the state proposed during Casey's trial. Baez logically disproves nearly all of the allegations made by the prosecution and even sheds light on prosecutorial misconduct surrounding the case. He rationally explains how he’s come to (almost) all of his conclusions, theories and beliefs.

Like everyone else, I started this book with the very strong opinion that Casey Anthony was guilty, but my opinion has changed. Although the evidence at first glance does incriminate Casey, I think the theory proposed in Baez's book is honestly the most likely event that occurred. Overall, it was a good read and answered some questions I had about the case.
