Back
in 2008, Casey Anthony was arrested and charged in the death of her 2 year old
daughter, Caylee. In the summer of 2010, she was acquitted of murder. After being acquitted, America was outraged
when word got out that she wanted to write a book. Thankfully she had a
difficult time trying to find a publisher who’s willing to release her memoir.
We all knew it was coming sooner or later. Now
four years later, a film titled “Prosecuting Casey Anthony” is set to debut on January
19, 2013 at 8p.m. on Lifetime cable network. The film is based on the book “Imperfect
Justice”, written by prosecutor Jeff Ashton.
Rob Lowe plays Ashton and the story is told
from his point of view. The film allegedly does not focus much on Casey Anthony,
but rather focuses on his perspective, exploring the successes and ultimate
failure of the prosecution. According to a press release, the movie will “reveal
Ashton’s inside story of the true crime drama that captivated and then shocked
the nation when Caylee Anthony’s mother, Casey, was acquitted of killing her
daughter, despite what many thought to overwhelming evidence of guilt.”
Anthony’s character is played by Virginia Welch.
Elizabeth Mitchell plays prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick and Oscar Nunez plays defense
attorney Jose Baez.
