NO VERDICT YET IN CASEY ANTHONY TRIAL

GUILTY?
DAY one and the jury who are potentially going to decide whether Casey Anthony gets the death penalty, took their time and ended with no verdict.
From about midday they debated for almost six hours following the prosecution's closing speeches and instructions from judge Belvin Perry.
Before sending them out the justice reminded the jurors that it is not up to the defendant to prove their innocence, adding that a defendant choosing not to testify it is not an indication of guilt.

"Whatever verdict you render must be unanimous,"he told them.
They will start deliberating again today on the high profile case in which Anthony is charged with murder in the first-degree, second-degree murder, manslaughter, third-degree felony murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, aggravated child abuse and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
