A job well done by the film maker. I knew a little about this case when it was on TV that year. But I didn't follow it closely at that time. So this series tells me the whole story. I feel right angry after watching it. The devils won, including Casey, her evil lawyer and her evil parents. First, the whole theory of "proving beyond reasonable doubt" is WRONG. Nothing in this world is 100% sure, nothing. Even the medicine we take for our disease doesn't always work all the time. If congress requires 100% agree with each other, not a single law will pass. We have to change to Majority Rule instead. Second, the requirement of "never heard about this case on media" for jury picking is obsolete. Nowadays everybody has a cellphone with news on it. If a jury member claims he/she never heard of this case, he/she is lying for sure. You end up with 10 liars on the Jury. We need to cancel this requirement totally. Third, at the end of the series, I finally realize the key person is Casey's mother. Casey learned her lying skill from her mother. Both of them can lie with a "sincere face". And I believe they can sleep like a baby after lying. In other words, they don't have conscience, like most people have. Plus, her father also put on a "sincerity" show in the end. I don't believe anything this family said anymore. They all knew what's really happened.

Casey Anthony: An American Murder Mystery (2017)\

As crime reporter Jane Velez-Mitchell says in this three-part series, Casey Anthony became the Trial of the Centry and she also became the most hated woman in America. She was brought to trial for the murder of her daughter and the pre-trial and trial would get some very heated debates across America.

As a documentary this series works extremely well and especially if you're not familiar with the story. I followed the story very closely when it was happening so I was familiar with everything told here but I give the filmmakers credit for tellin the story in such a good way. The reason people familiar with the case will want to watch this is because there are some new interviews with the people involved in the case from the Judge to a juror to some of the prosecution. The big new interviews are with George and Cindy Anthony.

Getting to hear from the grandparents is certainly the highlight of this series since they get to share their views on their daughter, the trial and what has happened since the trial. IN all honesty, I wish the series would have focused more on them instead of simply telling the events of what happened. Again, I'd say most people are already familiar with that so the chance of getting more of the interviews would have helped.

With that said, this is still a highly entertaining series that's certainly worth watching.

Series: A-

I thought the series was really good, but when you guys are talking about Universal Studios, please don't put a picture up of Disney World, because in the background, you could see Thunder Mountain Railroad that is at Magic Kingdom, and that's like you're using Disney World for your series, but I don't understand why couldn't you just take pictures of Universal Studios inside the park. Lastly, the series was very good to watch, and I don't even know how she got dismissed on all charges, but her time is going to come when she has to face God!! Prayers will always go out to the rest of the family.

I pray that this family seeks God for salvation. Casey and her mother are both liars. My heart goes out to the husband because he still has to be married to a delusional wife. I could see from this documentary how the jury could have reasonable doubt, but how can you go from the baby drowning and somebody putting her body in the woods and nothing but the bones being found but nobody held accountable. This doc both disgusted and educated me. I got to see what is needed to proof guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, how a life can be taken and no explanation given, and how a family can live with such lies. I hope they all repent and ask God to save them because they will go to a Christ-less grave if they don't.

The obvious attempt to convince the audience and the world that she (Casey) is no longer a pathological liar while telling grotesque lies about her family history is not only a disgrace to actual assault victims but especially to her daughter Caylee whom she murdered for being a burden. The timeline evidence from the trial is clear and directly conflicts with her story, which continues to change even to this day as proven by this "documentary" of fake information and lies.

Speaking of evidence, one piece that didn't make it into trial (totally by accident because it was overlooked by the prosecution) was Casey's search for "foolproof suffocation" after logging in to her own password protected account and browser AFTER her dad had left for work on the last day anyone ever saw Caylee alive again. I'm sure it had nothing to do with her daughter turning up dead that day after vanishing and not being reported missing for over a month by Casey whose only concern the same day she searched for murder methods was 'shot girl' costumes for her boyfriend's job (that she clearly didn't trust him to do alone since she murdered her daughter to go out & party with him). I'm sure it can easily be somehow explained by her new story of her dad liking to suffocate her while sexually abusing her. The problem for Casey is that her story, like her lies, is ever changing to fit facts which never change. It was Casey who was logged in to the computer and it was on Firefox which only she used and only she who had the login to get into where the search was done and it was done after George had already left for work & her mom was already at work, which was all corroborated by evidence provided at trial. The real parents in this story had real jobs. Casey's job is obviously still lying. She's not gotten any better at it though even after 15 years.
