Casey Anthony makes controversial announcement 13 years after being cleared of daughter's murder

She has started a new career

A woman who was acquitted of killing her child has announced that she has started a new career.

In 2011, Florida woman Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child over the death of her daughter Caylee.

Two-year-old Caylee died in 2008, having been reported missing in July of that year by her grandmother. Her body was found months later in December.

While a jury found that there was not enough evidence to find Casey Anthony guilty of killing her daughter, she was judged guilty of lying to the police and sentenced to spend four years in prison.

She was released 10 days after sentencing, as she had already been behind bars for a significant period of time.

The trial and its verdict proved to be a highly controversial event. Proceedings were very publicised, and at the time, social media groups formed against Anthony.

The woman was even referred to as 'America's most hated mom', as it was reported she went to nightclubs and got a tattoo in the month her daughter was missing.

Since then, the woman has spoken out a few times on the case and trial, and she was the subject of the 2022 documentary Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.

She recently posted a video onto TikTok where she was sitting in her car to announce that she was working as a legal advocate.

She said: "I’ve been in the legal field since 2011, and in this capacity I feel that it’s necessary, if I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter."

The woman went on to say that she wasn't making videos because of something that someone else had said, but suggested 'that's not to say that I am not going to respond at some point to some of the things that they have said'.

"The whole point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself,” she continued.

"I'm doing this both personally for me, but in a professional capacity. Moving forward, the majority of what you will see will be me speaking in a professional capacity.”

She added, “My goal is to continue to help give a voice to people, to give people tools and resources that they can utilize so they actually know where they can turn to."

Anthony said she wanted to help 'the LGBTQ community, for our legal community, women's rights', and explained that she had started a Substack which people could join if they wanted to hear more from her.
