BLOOMINGTON - The controversial not-guilty verdicts returned by a Florida jury this week in favor of Casey Anthony are indicative of the challenges lawyers face in murder cases based on circumstantial evidence. The jury deliberated about 11 hours before finding Anthony guilty of lying to police but acquitting her of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. The lack of physical evidence tying the mother to the child's death in July 2008 combined with an absence of information as to how the child died left the jury with sufficient reasonable doubt, according to statements from several jurors to news media.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE - motion to suppress; voluntariness of confession and Miranda as two separate issues; confession as voluntary; totality of circumstances test as applying to juvenile confession; evidence of police coercion as necessary to trigger analysis of totality of circumstances test. Criminal Law - public indecency; private parts as meaning genitals; evidence of total nudity as sufficient to raise inference of exposure of one's private parts. Criminal Law - Identification - identification as required to be proven in all criminal cases; identification as proven by direct or circumstantial evidence; in-court identification as not required in criminal cases.

However, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in upholding violations based on appellant's employees selling cocaine and marijuana on permit premises. Contrary to appellant's argument, a signed and notarized laboratory report confirm...
