About this ebook

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. 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. 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.

Ratings and reviews

I bought his book Love it ..the jury is bunch stupid lazy idiots. I would never ever buy or even look at child killer and defenders trash they put out ...the money ,fame they got all got it off a murdered child none of them cared about Caylee or the truth..all they see is themselves...they make me sick ...one day justice will be served.. for Caylee...and all the others kids being murdered in the world.The prosecutors and LE was amazing and is amazing.

I completely am on the same page with him. If Caylee was so called drown why would there be duck tape over that babies mouth so tight that when they found her body her teeth were stuck to it. Makes no sense. She murder that innocent baby. NO mother would wait 31 days to report it and she didn't her mother did. I don't understand what was going on in those jurys heads. This book was well written. I've always believe she did it & he just put it in all words to back up why.

I just can't wrap my mind around how a mother could go out and party with her child missing. Every thing that has happened to caylee has made me angry, frustrated and sad may she rest in peace
