Will Casey Anthony Be Convicted?

PHILADELPHIA - Local attorney Danny Cevallos breaks down the Casey Anthony case and looks at what the jury may be considering in Orlando.

Jurors in the Anthony murder trial ended their first day of deliberations on Monday without reaching a verdict.

Judge Belvin Perry called the jurors into the courtroom at 6 p.m. Monday and dismissed them for the night. The sequestered jury of seven women and five men will head back to their hotel and resume deliberating Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.

All the evidence has been sent back to the jury room, but juror will be brought into open court if they want to watch any of the video evidence. Equipment for video viewing is not available in the deliberation room.

Cevallos from Philadelphia’s Cevallos & Wong LLP has been discussing the case for months on Fox 29 and now that this jury is out, he says the prosecution’s last rebuttal may have saved the case.

Cevallos says the prosecution’s final statements focused on who had the most to benefit from Caylee Anthony’s death.

He believes the most likely outcome will be a conviction of aggravated manslaughter.

That would allow Casey Anthony to avoid the death penalty for a case based on circumstantial evidence.

Cevallos also said that jury fatigue could be a factor, since the jury has been on the case for a long time, and anything less than a first-degree murder conviction may take less deliberation.

Jurors began deliberating Monday in the Casey Anthony murder trial after hearing prosecutors argue the woman killed her 2-year-old daughter Caylee because the toddler interrupted her carefree partying and love life.

Prosecutors in their rebuttal closing argument earlier Monday said the defense's assertion that Caylee's death was an "accident that snowballed out of control" makes no sense.
