Casey Anthony, the Florida woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in a trial that drew national attention, probably killed her daughter but did so unintentionally, former trial judge Belvin Perry said Wednesday.
Perry, who oversaw the court during Anthony's murder trial, said Anthony was trying to "knock out" Caylee and gave her "too much chloroform" by mistake, he told WFTV in an interview.
That's just a theory. The only person that actually knows what happened is Casey Anthony.
Perry did not see a problem with murder charges being filed, saying there was enough evidence to merit charges. However, he saw no evidence that Caylee had been abused, which gave weight to his theory that Anthony unintentionally killed her.
Anthony was found not guilty of murder. She was convicted of lying to law enforcement.
Perry said the most overlooked evidence in the case was internet searches for "chloroform" and expert testimony that chloroform was found in Anthony's car's trunk.
"Considering the high levels of chloroform that was found in the trunk of the car, that was my logical deduction for what happened," Perry said.
Seriously... @caseyanthony now she pleads guilty for killing her daughter. That's it.. Have a great day. Someone run her over plz

Critics of Anthony were disgusted by the news.
