Casey Anthony's Shocking New Career Move 13 Years After Trial

Casey Anthony is tackling legal issues in a new way.

On March 1, a woman aged 38, known for her high-profile case, stepped into the world of TikTok more than a decade after being acquitted in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter named Caylee Anthony. In this trial, Casey was found guilty of four counts of giving false information to investigators in the 2011 verdict. Now, she intends to use her personal journey within the legal system as a means to assist others facing similar challenges.

Casey stated in a March 1 TikTok video that she is an attorney and researcher. Since 2011, she has been working in the legal field, and to continue effectively advocating on behalf of her clients, she believes it’s important for her to start advocating for herself and her daughter as well.

Additionally, Casey mentioned that she intends to leverage her freshly-debuted TikTok profile and Substack blog platform for offering guidance, while making herself approachable to the audience via emails. Furthermore, she aims to polish her public persona through this interaction.

She went on to say, “I’m about to start sharing more about who I am, serving a dual purpose – personally and professionally. From now on, most of what you’ll observe will be me presenting myself in a professional context.

As a committed advocate, I strive to consistently empower others by providing them with a platform to express their voices. This includes equipping them with valuable tools and resources, ensuring they are well-informed about the avenues available for assistance when needed.

Moreover, Casey finds motivation in her desire to aid others, but she also views her latest endeavor as a means of turning her challenging history into a tool for positivity.

In her role as an advocate for the LGBTQ community, the legal community, and women’s rights, she expressed that it is crucial for her to make the most of this opportunity that she now views as a blessing rather than the burden it has felt like since 2008.

Casey, whose attorneys assert that Caylee tragically drowned in the family swimming pool, further mentioned that her drive to offer legal counsel is partly ignited by challenging circumstances that have affected individuals close to her. She expresses her gratitude for these experiences as a catalyst propelling her to lend assistance.

She mentioned that there have been some recent events affecting people close to her, and at times like these, everyone had to lend a helping hand, including herself.

Of her new mission, she noted, “I am proverbially standing in the light. Embracing this peace.”

To revisit details about Casey’s old court case, as well as the shocking revelations presented in the 2022 documentary titled “Casey Anthony: Unveiling the Truth“, continue reading…

Casey, who gave birth to Caylee when she was 19 years old, had always remained silent about the identity of her daughter’s father. In the series, she reveals that she became pregnant at the age of 18, following a drug-induced rape at a house party.

Casey admitted that she and her parents had conspired to keep her pregnancy hidden from friends and work colleagues, even as it became increasingly apparent. For a while, she admitted, she claimed Jesse Grund was the child’s father, but a DNA test ultimately disproved this claim.

Casey acknowledged that he had been deceitful towards everyone. He further explained, “What I mean is, it’s such a messed-up situation. For years, I felt like I needed to present a particular life to people, or give the impression that I was living a certain way, not because I wanted to deceive them, but because I didn’t want others to pity me and I didn’t want my child to grow up thinking her circumstances were so unfavorable, or that she was the result of something so unfortunate, which I didn’t want for her.

In 2011, Casey’s allegation against her father, George Anthony, surfaced during the trial. She claimed that he had subjected her to sexual abuse, which reportedly began when she was 8 years old and continued until she turned 12.

Casey mentioned that she had recollections of being mistreated, yet it wasn’t until after her incarceration that more specific details surfaced. She went on to explain that later, she experienced vivid images and flashbacks, disturbing dreams, and seizures – all triggered by events related to the abuse inflicted by her father.

Later on in the series, Casey mentioned that starting from the moment Caylee was born, she always ensured that her grandmother, not her father, was present whenever her daughter was unattended.

The story Where the Truth Lies indicates that George, also known as Cindy Anthony, and their son Lee Anthony declined interview invitations and ignored requests for comments concerning Casey’s numerous allegations against them. George has frequently refuted his daughter’s assertions in court and media appearances. He failed to respond to TopMob News’ requests for comment regarding the accusations of abuse presented in the series.

On June 16, 2008, as she recounted, she prepared breakfast for Caylee but wasn’t feeling good, so she decided to rest, taking Caylee into her bedroom and turning on the television. At that time, they were residing at Casey’s old family home, alongside George and Cindy.

Casey stated that she dozed off for a period and later awoke to her father questioning her about Caylee’s whereabouts. She responded by searching frantically around the yard, then moving to the side of the house where George was holding a “wet” Caylee. “I could see him standing there with her in his arms,” Casey explained, “and he handed her to me while saying it was my fault, that I had done this, that I caused it. In response, I crumpled, holding Caylee.

According to Casey, Caylee appeared both heavy and cold, while she herself was extremely upset. Upon taking Caylee from her, George reassured me by lowering his voice and saying, “Everything’s going to be alright.” This is what he told me, hoping that she would indeed be okay. I wanted to believe him because I desperately wanted her to recover.

In a heartbeat, I found myself frozen, my eyes welling up with tears as I continued, “For an instant, I stood there, bewildered, my cheeks stained with unshed tears. He had vanished with her, leaving me behind. I can’t tell you how long I lingered outside, or where he disappeared to. But I know he re-entered through the screen doors and retreated into their home. And just as mysteriously, she was gone. I have no idea where she ended up, nor what transpired between them. All I yearn for is her safe return.

At Casey’s trial, George stated that he had no information about how Caylee passed away or any part in disposing her body. He expressed, “If what was alleged occurred, I would have done everything within my power to save my granddaughter.” He further mentioned that he only learned of anything happening to Caylee when she was officially declared deceased.

Casey admitted to pondering over questions such as “Why didn’t I call for help? Why didn’t I tell anyone sooner?” and she indeed didn’t share her concerns. She wondered, “Why deceive? Why not act differently in a hundred ways?” Regarding the reactions she described, she stated, “I have to bear the weight of knowing that I couldn’t shield my child from harm, and that even after the incident, I continued to fail her repeatedly, by continuing to protect the one who harmed me.

Cut to footage of Casey talking animatedly to her father when she was in jail.

She mentioned that it seemed as though she had been influenced deeply, and it took a considerable amount of time before she truly understood the reasons behind it.

Afterwards, Casey stated that George instructed her to behave normally, which is why numerous images emerged of what seemed like the 22-year-old enjoying herself during the month following this supposed incident. “That wasn’t partying,” Casey clarified, detailing that she was out assisting her then-boyfriend Tony Lazzaro (who declined the series’ interview request) with club promotion, and none of the photos depicted her holding a drink.

She communicated daily with her father, she asserted, and he repeatedly reassured her that Caylee was fine. “For the entire 31-day period,” Casey stated, “I truly thought Caylee was still alive.

Despite being arrested on July 16, 2008, under suspicion of lying to law enforcement, potential child abuse, and obstructing a criminal investigation, Casey still held onto the hope that Caylee, who she hadn’t seen for a month before her mother called 911 on July 15, was safe.

On December 11, 2008, the location where Caylee’s remains were discovered was approximately one mile from the Anthony family residence, hidden within a forested area.

If given the option to admit guilt in Caylee’s death and serve 20 years in prison while avoiding the death penalty, Casey, who was charged with first-degree murder, declined, as reported by Casey herself and her defense team during interviews for “Where the Truth Lies“.

“She was not having it,” recalled attorney and now longtime friend Lisabeth Fryer.

Casey stated, “Rather than admitting guilt for something I didn’t do, I’d choose to be wrongfully convicted and spend the rest of my life on death row, trying to prove my innocence. I confessed to the police, wrote those checks, and pleaded guilty each time. That was never a possibility or an option, ever.

In 2010, she admitted her guilt for forging checks totaling nearly $650 by using her friend’s checkbook. As a result, she was given the same amount of time she had already spent in jail.

Casey mentioned that she wasn’t aware that Jose Baez would bring up her sexual abuse accusations against her father in his opening statement on May 24, 2011.

She stated, “He never informed me, and he hadn’t visited me prior to our court appearance. He chose not to share any information with me. His intention was to ensure that my emotions and reactions were genuine and unfiltered, so he preferred I wasn’t briefed on it beforehand.

Reflecting on recorded video where she was seen wiping away tears during the trial broadcast, she stated, “The emotions I felt then, as Jose Baez detailed the abuse I endured, were profound shame. That feeling remains vivid, as if it happened just yesterday. There will always be a piece of me that believes I’m not worthy because of what transpired. I feel inadequate, unworthy because of all the experiences I’ve had… stained, marred. That’s an incredibly difficult moment for me.

On the very same day that Baez made his statement, George firmly asserted that he had never sexually abused his daughter.

Furthermore, during his initial remarks, Baez proposed the idea that Caylee might have accidentally drowned in the swimming pool and George concealed this fact, but Casey, in “Where the Truth Lies”, expressed her disbelief in this scenario. She stated that this theory was a suggestion made by her mother to Baez which he chose to pursue.

In her own recollection, Caylee was “something that remains hard for me to make sense of,” Casey explained, since she was completely drenched at the time.

Regarding her father, Casey pointed out that she isn’t suggesting he committed murder, but rather, it was unlikely that his death in the pool was an accident.

In the course of events and interviews, both during the trial and afterwards, George was never viewed as a suspect regarding Caylee’s demise. Throughout all these instances, he has consistently denied that his granddaughter perished under his supervision or that he played any role in disposing of her body or hiding the truth about what transpired. He did not respond to TopMob News when they reached out for comments regarding the accusations made in their series.

In June 2011, when George’s client refuted the accusations made by the defense during court proceedings, attorney Mark Lippman declared in a statement that “Mr. Anthony has and will persistently claim his innocence regarding the death of Caylee Marie Anthony, and any subsequent actions taken by Casey Anthony, as presented by the State of Florida in their case.

Casey’s lawyers initially felt elated by her not-guilty verdict, but that joy was quickly overshadowed by concern for her future, both immediately after the trial and in the ensuing years.

Lawyer Dorothy Clay Sims, the defense team’s forensics expert, expressed deep concern for her client’s wellbeing, stating, “We were genuinely worried about her survival.” As they exchanged glances, a collective thought seemed to pass among them: “What are our next steps?

According to Dorothy, they all got death threats, and Casey was unable to escape overseas for safety because her felony conviction prevented her from obtaining a passport.

Casey explained that her legal team provided both financial assistance and emotional support while she worked on rebuilding her life. For a considerable period, she resided with investigator Pat McKenna’s family, and she still works for him currently, primarily focusing on conducting research for defense cases in criminal matters.

In the series, Pat mentioned that during the past ten years, he hadn’t once found Casey telling a lie, and she had grown particularly close to him, almost like a daughter.

Casey stated, “If I were to get married someday, he’d be the one walking me down the aisle. He’s been like a real father figure to me, the closest I’ve ever come to having one.

On January 14, 2019, during an episode of Dr. Oz, Casey watched as her parents were interviewed following George’s serious car accident in November 2018. However, when Mehmet Oz asked if their daughter had contacted them since the incident, Casey displayed contempt, as George responded, “She did try to get in touch to see how I was.

Casey scoffed, “No, I didn’t.”

Additionally, she viewed recordings of Cayley’s funeral, it seemed like her initial viewing, since she was incarcerated during the event. The sight of her father’s eulogy made her wince.

The producer questioned whether Casey had taken all necessary steps to safeguard her daughter, to which Casey, emotionally, admitted, “I believed I did. I made an effort. I shouldn’t have stayed at my parents’ house when I should have, the instant I discovered I was pregnant, I should have simply left.

Ultimately, the big question remains unanswered.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself constantly grappling with the realization that I may never experience complete resolution in certain situations. The intriguing aspect, though, is that this ambiguity seems to be what keeps many of us captivated. It’s as if we’re subconsciously searching for closure because it feels like an unattainable goal, making the pursuit all the more compelling.

Expressing her discontent with the unexpected turn of events, she likened it to an unsatisfying movie conclusion or poor quality reality TV. She stated, “I didn’t receive the resolution I desired because I wasn’t able to regain custody of my child. That’s the one outcome I will never experience from all of this.” Caring for herself, she admitted that coping did not become simpler; instead, it became more challenging. Each day, she longed to awaken and find her child by her side.

Casey summarized, “It’s tough to handle and endure on a daily basis because there’s no way to retrieve her. No way at all. Even if I ever find the answers I seek, it will never compensate for what was lost.
