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

Did anybody read jose baez book? I thought she was guilty like all of you after reading his book i agree w jury. If u watched ashton at trial he smirked and laughed like a kid.was even reprimanded by judge for it he's disrespectful and a bully there wasnt one piece hard evidence against casey. Her father is the culprit. So she lied and did wrong thins we all do. Read both sides u will b surprised .he pland book fr beg was makg money off air machine thats why he wantd guilty verdict.

A childish bully who wanted to win and retire with a BANG. That meant taking one more life before retiring. What a legacy when you proudly recount how many lives you managed to extinguish.

As more comes out, this Author appears increasingly imperfect; A fairly well penned book, by an overly narcissistic prosecutor!
