Pathological: The Casey Anthony Story — Every Door Was Open — Ep. 5 | MK Confidential

"MK Confidential" opens on the line outside the Orange County Courthouse, which for six weeks has been forming at three in the morning, people waiting for a seat in a room they have only watched on television. Twenty-five floors up, on July 5th, 2011, Judge Belvin Perry, Jr. opens the verdict form, reads it, then reads it again, to be sure. Jose Baez holds Casey Anthony's hand. Not guilty of first-degree murder. Not guilty of aggravated child abuse. Not guilty of aggravated manslaughter. Megyn Kelly takes up the question people have argued about ever since: why did this jury acquit?. Juror number three, a nursing student named Jennifer Ford, says Casey’s bad behavior is not enough to prove a crime. Twelve people will give twelve different answers for how Caylee Marie Anthony died. Judge Perry was prepared to tell the jurors before deliberations that “how” is not an element of the crime. The prosecution never asked. Thirteen months later, two men in Phoenix recover an Internet search record the sheriff's office had missed. On the last afternoon Caylee was seen alive, someone on the Anthony family computer searched a misspelled phrase: “foolproof suffocation.” Nothing establishes whose hands were on the keyboard, and the jury never heard it. On Suburban Drive, a man named Wally Goodnough keeps bringing wooden crosses to the spot Caylee Marie’s body was found. Someone keeps taking them. Wally keeps coming back. This is Episode 5 of the Casey Anthony story. OneSkin: Get 15% off OneSkin with the code MEGYN at https://www.oneskin.co/MEGYN #oneskinpodHome Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/megyn and use promo code MEGYN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: https://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: https://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: https://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShowFind out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"MK Confidential" fades in on a motel room in Daytona Beach, Florida. On January 22nd, 2009, George Anthony takes about seventy pills, drinks as much beer as he can, and begins writing an eight-page letter he never finishes. Losing his granddaughter has brought him to the edge. Two and a half years later, a prosecutor reads that letter aloud to the twelve people deciding whether his daughter is responsible. Megyn Kelly tracks the defense case through the trial. Lead defense attorney Jose Baez tells the jury that Caylee was not murdered, but instead drowned in the aboveground pool behind the family's house, and her grandfather found her. He accuses the men in the Anthony house of abusing Casey. Both men deny it, and no witness ever supports it. Cindy Anthony testifies that searches for “chloroform” on the family computer were hers, made while she looked into why her Yorkie kept eating bamboo leaves in the backyard; her employer's records put her at the office both afternoons. Then the state gets the last word. A detective searches the hard drive all day and overnight. Inside the courtroom, Judge Perry finds absolutely no evidence behind the abuse allegations and bars them from closing argument, while letting the drowning stand on the strength of photographs: a two-year-old climbing a pool ladder, and opening a sliding glass door by herself. And prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick, the last lawyer to speak, puts two photographs on the screen and leaves the jury with a single question: whose life was better after Caylee’s death?

"MK Confidential" follows the case to trial. In her opening statement, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick doesn't start with chloroform or duct tape. She begins with the story of a little girl, walking the jury through every day of Caylee's short life before landing on the thirty-one days no one reported her missing. Defense attorney Jose Baez fires back with a name the prosecution never said out loud: Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee's skull.Megyn sifts through the physical evidence piece by piece. A trunk that smelled like nothing to Casey's boyfriend— but smells like “death” to a tow-yard owner three weeks later, a hair traced back to someone from Caylee's maternal line inside that trunk, and an online search about how to make chloroform. Meanwhile, three medical examiners looking at the same skull, are unable to agree on whether that tape held Caylee's jaw in place or was never holding anything at all.By the time the state rests, it has built a case on a mother's lies stacked one on top of another — leaving the defense one afternoon to explain them away.

"MK Confidential" opens on the front door of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. Sheriff’s deputies knock on the door and ask to search her house for a missing toddler. She has never met Casey Anthony, or her daughter Caylee. She's cleared by the police that same day — and then her phone number gets out, the threatening calls start.

Casey describes a babysitter her family never meets, attached to a man Casey barely knows and a little boy who does not exist. On June 16, 2008, Casey tells her father that Caylee will be staying overnight with “Zanny.” It the last day George sees his granddaughter.Thirty-one days of excuses follow, as Casey empties a friend's checking account, tattoos “Bella Vita" on her shoulder, and parks a white Pontiac beside a dumpster, with the car seat still in the back. Finding the car is just the beginning, as Casey’s lies begin to fall apart.
