Again, you are wrong per Casey Anthony. There were lesser charges added including 2nd degree murder, aggravated manslaughter, and aggravated child abuse.

They were added, but the prosecution chose a gamble by presenting no evidence on the lesser charges, that way the jury would have to convict on the highest charge. It was a bad gamble, they lost.

The prosecution had witnesses that did not agree on the cause of death of the girl. They did not choose wisely. They lost.

So far, the murder 2nd charge in FL appears to either have criminal intent, which is obviously not present, or depraved indifference to life, which is weird given the circumstance.

If life is fair, they will lose, because neither appears to have been present at the time of the incident.

What a world!
