14 DAY TRIAL // Casey Anthony has started psychological treatment and, as per a fresh report, she actually hopes she will live to see the day when she puts her daughter’s murder and the trial that saw her become “America’s most hated” behind her.
People magazine which, no later than last week, ran a story about how Anthony was in hiding and feeling depressed because she couldn’t go out and socialize with friends, is now saying she has high hopes of rehabilitation.
For those not in the know, Anthony stood trial for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee and, though evidence seemed damning from the get-go, she was acquitted.
The trial is one of the most controversial ever in the US, getting the public opinion inflamed about how the justice system worked (or didn’t, to be more precise) to allow a “monster” to walk free.
Now that she’s theoretically not guilty of the murder, Anthony hopes she will, one day, have a normal life or, at least, something close to it.
“A week after her psychological treatment began, Casey Anthony is doing ‘well,’ according to a source close to her, who adds, ‘She hopes she will someday redeem herself and live a productive life’,” People writes.
The same publication reports that more evidence in the case may emerge pretty soon, as media organizations have petitioned the judge to release a tape of Anthony in jail, reacting to news of the her daughter’s possible death.
“In court on Wednesday, a media organization argued for the release of a jailhouse video of Casey watching TV news reports saying police found remains, which turned out to be her missing daughter, 2-year-old Caylee,” People writes.
“According to detectives, Anthony doubled over and hyperventilated before asking for a sedative in the video,” says the mag, pointing that her reaction was odd because “the remains had not yet been identified,” which means she must have known they belonged to her daughter.
The tape in question was sealed in 2009 because the judge felt that it would be too inflammatory to show the jury, making the jurors lose objectivity.
A decision regarding its release will be made this week.
