In October 2008, Casey Anthony was indicted on charges of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to police. On the murder charge alone, there are several possible verdicts the jury can reach — from capital murder to manslaughter to not guilty. Regardless of the jury's findings on the murder charge, it also must consider the other six counts in the indictment.
•Guilty of capital first-degree murder (premeditated).
Sentence: Death by lethal injection or life in prison without possibility of probation.
•Guilty of first-degree murder, non capital (premeditated).
Sentence: Life in prison with possibility of probation.
•Guilty of second-degree murder (no premeditation).
Sentence: 16-3/4 years to life in prison with possibility of probation.
•Guilty of manslaughter (didn't mean for Caylee to die from her actions).
Sentence: Up to 15 years in prison.
•Not guilty
Additional charges
Regardless of verdict on murder, the jury must also decide on these charges:
•Aggravated manslaughter of a child: Maximum of 30 years in prison.
•Aggravated child abuse: Maximum of 30 years in prison.
•False information to law enforcement regarding missing person: Four counts — up to one year for each count.
