Roommates of Casey Anthony’s former boyfriend described on Wednesday how the Florida mother partied at nightclubs and remained outgoing after her 2-year-old daughter’s death on June 16, 2008.
Casey Anthony is not on trial because she did not mourn properly for her daughter’s natural death. She is being tried for first-degree murder. Right from the news story you cited: “Prosecutors contend that she [Casey Anthony] suffocated daughter Caylee Marie Anthony by wrapping duct tape around her head, nose and mouth. During opening statements Tuesday, the defense said the toddler drowned in the Anthony family’s backyard pool and no one alerted police about the accident.”
Even in a stateless society, investigators would find it suspicious for one to be partying after the untimely death of their child. The partying itself isn’t the crime.
The title of this thread should be, “You risk jail if you murder your child and then do not mourn properly”
