There was enough for at least a manslaughter conviction, if you were too squeamish for Murder 1. At least two FBI experts testified that there was indeed chloroform in the trunk of Casey's car. In addition, found in the trunk of the car was a hair that FBI experts say could only have come from a decomposing body and matched the hairs found with the skull of Caylee Marie Anthony in the swamp near the Anthony home. DNA analysis of the hair from the trunk showed that the hair could only have come from an Anthony family maternal source. Cindy Anthony, Cindy's mother and Casey Anthony all have treated hair and this 9 inch long hair was untreated. Jeff's hair was much too short to have supplied this hair. This proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Caylee Marie Anthony's body was decomposing in the trunk of her mother's car.
Taped phone calls from Casey to her parents while she was in prison prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew nothing about the fate of their beloved granddaughter and were begging Casey to cooperate with the police. Casey's later alibi stories of "accidental death" proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she indeed knew what happened and when.
All that should prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she had culpability in the death of her daughter, and a manslaughter conviction coupled with aggravated child abuse should have easily been decided by any reasonable thinking jury.
