Casey Anthony may be living in hiding ever since she was found 'not guilty' in the infamous murder trial of little Caylee Anthony last summer. The prosecutor in the case, Jeff Ashton, wrote a book about his opinion on the case after he retired as an attorney last year. He lost, but the public supported him even though he couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey killed Caylee.
After being set free, Casey went into hiding and the only people who knew where she was were her legal team. However, there seemed to be some trouble between them, because last month, Jose Baez, the man who showed that there were too many factors playing into her guilt to make it beyond a reasonable doubt, decided to resign from her case. Today, he announced that he is writing a book about Casey Anthony and the infamous trial. Does he know something that the public does not?
According to MSNBC, Baez' book will be called Presumed Guilty and will be available in the summer. It will discuss the trial from an inside perspective, and will probably include details about Jose's work with Casey. However, don't expect to learn anything new regarding what Casey's story really is. She must have said something crazy about her life to convince her legal team that she was innocent, but he probably won't be writing out her defense. Instead, he will give his opinion on her behavior during the trial, her relationship with her parents and his experience as the most hated lawyer after the trial.
"There are so many behind-the-scenes facts and stories that have never been made public. I look forward to sharing my story," Baez explained in a recent statement.
Will you read this book or is Casey's story getting too much attention?

This is a summary of the points made in the petition. The petition itself directly address the DOJ's internal policy that guides them in deciding whether or not to bring federal charges against someone after a person has already been tried by a state. It requires that 3 prerequisites be met:
1. the crime involves a substantial and enduring federal interest.
The petition maintains that the protection of those Americans who, because of physical, psychological, or mental deficiencies, cannot protect themselves is and always has been both a substantial and enduring federal interest. Many government programs have been created for just that purpose, and America's children constitutes one of those groups.
2. The prior prosecution must have left the stated federal interest demonstrably unvindicated.
One way this prerequisite can be met is by showing that the jury disregarded evidence in coming to their verdict. Statements given by jurors after the trial prove that they, in fact, failed to go over the evidence.
Another way this prerequisite can be met is if there was an unavailability of evidence. Judge Perry kept out a lot of evidence that should have been made available to the jury but was not because of his rulings. The petition cites an example of this.
A third way this prerequisite can be met is if the crime constituted egregious conduct, which the murder of a child certainly is egregious conduct.
Fourthly, this prerequisite can be met if it can be shown that "...the prior prosecution was manifestly inadequate to protect its....resource." The petition addresses the prior prosecution's failure to provide a deterrent to others who might attempt to murder their children in the way Ms. Anthony did, and in order to protect our children, it is necessary for the federal government to send a message of deterrence by prosecuting Casey Anthony.
3. The government must believe that the defendant’s conduct constitutes a federal offense, and that the admissible evidence probably will be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction by an unbiased trier of fact.
Murder is a federal offense, and there are other charges that are associated with this crime that the federal government could charge her with in addition to or to the exclusion of murder. The petition asks the DOJ to charge any and all offenses associated with this crime.
The evidence is also there to obtain and maintain a conviction; moreover there is other evidence that can be allowed in on the federal level that was not on the local level that goes towards doing both those.
