Answer to Question 1

First, she was charged with murder. Murder and non-negligent homicide cases account for less than 1/10 of 1 percent of all criminal arrests. Second, she was charged with capital murder, meaning she could have received the death penalty if convicted. Very few homicides are death-penalty eligible. Third, her case went to trial, rather than being plea-bargained like 90-95 percent of all felony cases. Fourth, Casey Anthony was acquitted at trial, when the overall conviction rate at trial is around 90 percent. Finally, the initial criminal investigation and resulting court case was the subject of intense media coverage and public debate.
