Nancy Grace Reveals What She Thinks of Casey Anthony Docuseries (VIDEO)
Former prosecutor and TV news host Nancy Grace, who extensively covered Casey Anthony’s trial in 2011, has responded to the latest claims made in Peacock‘s new three-part docuseries Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.
The documentary is told from Anthony’s perspective as she talks through the infamous 2008 investigation, which saw her accused of killing her two-year-old daughter Caylee, whose remains were found near the family home in December 2008. Anthony, who originally claimed Caylee drowned in the pool, denied the murder charges and was found not guilty of first-degree murder in 2011.
In the series, Anthony explains why she took 31 days to 911, claiming that she was following the directive of her father, George, who she alleges sexually abused her from ages 8 to 11. Her father has denied the abuse claims and has never been charged. Anthony also claims that George staged her daughter’s drowning to cover up his possible abuse of Caylee.
On Monday, November 28, Extra’s Billy Bush asked Grace if these new claims change anything. “It changes nothing,” she said. “She would have us believe that for the next 30-plus days that her father was calling her and giving her instructions as to how to behave. That doesn’t make sense.”
“I’m not talking about sex assault. I’m talking about murdering a little child,” she continued after Bush brought up Anthony’s sexual abuse claims against her dad.
The outspoken legal commentator also took aim at Anthony’s legal team, noting, “I think everyone in this case has made their fortune off the body of Caylee Anthony. They’re in it, thick as thieves.”
As for whether Grace would ever sit down for an interview with Anthony, she said she is open to the idea, even if it’s unlikely to happen. “I don’t think tot mom Casey Anthony would sit still for me to cross-examine her,” Grace stated. “I don’t think that’ll ever happen.”

The tot killer would never sit down with Nancy Grace. Nancy Grace would shred her to pieces quickly. Maybe then the case will be solved.

I’m a 58 year old man and I know this much , if my child was missing for 30 days I would be going bonkers , I would be crying like crazy not out getting a tattoo that says “ BELLA VITA” Beautiful life, what is so beautiful about your child missing ? I’ll bet my life on it, she killed her daughter . Her father never molested her, they were simply throwing everything against the wall and what stuck they used, Nancy Grace is correct and she would have had Casey convicted. The only reason she walked out of court was because the prosecution wanted the death penalty and they didn’t prove how Caylee died, they didn’t give the jury a choice of death penalty or life or I guarantee you she’d be in the pokey right now. It’s okay God will Judge her .

I have never believed Casey Anthony’s stories none of them. I’m still shocked over the way she got away with killing beautiful innocent Caylee . She’s selfish through and through…she wants/needs the world to believe that she’s not responsible for her daughter’s death…good luck with that. Disgusting to be making money off her daughter with lies , after all these years..Casey Anthony has no conscience & no shame.

She's right. Casey Anthony is lying again, because she's still looking for attention. She's a proven liar, so I wouldn't believe anything she says at this point. There's no excuse for waiting 31 days to call 911. Her so-called "explanation" is beyond absurd. This woman is disgusting. Casey Anthony and her entire legal team have been profiting off of poor Caylee Anthony's murder for several years now. This is just another attempt at that.

First off I agree with Pam and Nancy Casey should be in prison. It was so obvious that her precious daughter was just in the way of her so called beautiful life. It just made me so sick to watch her partying and dancing and enjoying that life when she new her daughters body was in the trunk of her car… What kind of mother or human being would act this way?? This woman should have never been allowed to have any kind of a life after all the lies she fed the police, taking them on a made up ride that was all in her head wasting their time. To me she was admitting guilt right there period. I just don’t get our justice department. This was so terrible. That little girl did not ask to be born, but had her precious life cut short due to a selfish immature mother….

I don’t know if her father abused her, no one does, but that wouldn’t mean he killed the child. Why didn’t he kill Casey to shut her up? He should take a lie detector to clear his part up.
Casey only lies when her mouth opens. Sociopath, that cares about only about herself. She lies so much that I wonder how she keeps them straight. Oh, that’s right, she can’t keep them straight, so she makes up endless new ones to keep people dizzy and keep making money off her innocent dead child.

Casey Anthony did it. She is quilty as hell. Don’t you find it odd tha she waited 31 day to report her daughter missing. Neither one of her parents killed that poor little girl. It was Casey that killed her. And Nancy Grace knows what the hell she is talking about. Casey would say anything to make people believe that she is innocent and she not, she is far from it. She wanted to party. She didn’t want that little girl, she just wanted to party and go on with her sickening life. She is a horrible person. And now she is writing a book about what somebody else did to her daughter. It was her that killed that sweet little girl and no one else. People get your head out of your asses and realize it!

This Billy Bush is a real slimeball, just like Jose Lyez. Such disingenuous BS shortly after the 1:00 minute mark when they show a dual picture of phony crying Casey alongside of George looking on pensively, which this clown classifies as "Casey in tears....George so calm". Perhaps someone should show him George barely being able to make it through his testimony on the stand and nearly being overwhelmed by his grief while baby killer Casey looked on stone-faced !!!

George recently did take a lie detector test and passed. Casey is a lying baby killer. None of the various versions of "her side of the story" make any sense. If George had Caylee, why was her corpse in Casey's trunk for days ??? If she was receiving instructions from George during the first month that Caylee was missing, why do all of her cell phone records(which are still available)show her only communicating with her mother during that time ??? After 6-16-08, George only saw/spoke to her on one occasion,and that was on 6-24-08, the day of the gas cans incident. He didn't see or speak to her again until the evening of 7-15-08 after her mother went and dragged her home from her boyfriend's apartment.
The only reason why people even question any of this is because the judge in Casey's trial allowed Jose Lyez to violate the rules of evidence in his opening statement(as well as attorney ethics rules) and the arrogant prosecutor did a poor job of rebutting this nonsense. It cast a pall over the trial. If judge Strickland remained on this case, none of that would've happened. Also, if only that lazy cop(who was later fired) would've listened to Roy Kronk back in August when he originally spotted poor Caylee's body, things would've turned out much differently. Casey was on the verge of firing Lyez and taking a plea when she heard about it through a private investigator, but she ended up dodging that bullet as well !!!

Shes a great actress and plays the victim very well. Shes trying to convince us she didn't do it, but I don't believe her. You can tell she is pathelogical liar. Also she is a sociopath.

Sorry to hear that you were abused, LT. Someone who has genuinely been a victim of this most heinous crime should be monumentally offended by any person who lies about such things, for any reason, as this makes a mockery of real sufferers. As I mentioned above, George did recently take a polygraph concerning that issue as well as many others created by the numerous lies told by baby killer Casey and slimy Mr. Lyez.

I believe her. Nancy Grace obviously doesn’t have knowledge about sexual abuse victims. They are controlled by their abuser and it’s worse when it’s incest. She obviously doesn’t believe in the court system that as an attorney she serves in. Casey Anthony was proven innocent according to the jury and accepted by the judge and court system. I myself thought she was guilty at tge time as most of the public thought but after listening to this documentary, I have a totally different opinion. I’d challenge all to listen to it prior to making that judgement, the media and the public are horrors. They put her through hell. Had I done it and if was capable of doing such an alleged crime knowing that I would be found out, I probably would of lost my mind and done more damage to those outside her house with threatening signs and yelling and behaving in a despicable manner. I found that behavior in the media and the public to be disgusting. What makes them any better than the real killer? They have murdered her with their rhetoric and with their accusing tongues. Nancy Grace is an attorney and she is well aware of how the court system works. Innocent until proven guilty. If this system doesn’t work, what is she or was she in this field of work. I’m sorry Nancy that your fiancé or family member was murdered and that was why you went into this field of work, but because that happened to you, it does not mean everyone that is accused/alleged of a crime, is guilty.

The system is very broken, that’s pretty clear. And as someone who knows what it’s like to have an abuser , I wouldn’t be out having a great time all because my abuser said to do so, oh she thought she was fine ? With her abuser?? Come on . She’s a narcissistic sociopath. Caused by , who cares .

No one outside of them knows whether sexual abuse happened, but it is the sure thing to get sympathy, and it got her off.
You seem to be so focused on that, that you ignore her endless lies, bizarre and horrific behavior before, after, and during the whole thing. You know, like evidence of her drugging the child, a body in the car, her total lack of concern and failure to report it, on and on, endlessly. What hasn’t she lied about?
I have suffered extensive sexual abuse, also, but someone using it to cover killing a tiny child, is beyond despicable. And I still look at the whole picture, and countless reasons to see she is guilty. Even the jury were distressed that they couldn’t give the verdict that they actually believe.
