For this discussion, I have chosen the case of Casey Anthony.  This case, to me, represents miscommunication and the display of inaccurate information.  The circumstances of this case surround a little girl named Caylee Anthony.  Caylee went missing for a short time while her mother lied to law enforcement and partied as if nothing happened to her little girl.  A short time later, Caylee’s body was found in a wooded area and Casey was arrested.  During Casey’s trial, several stories came out to the public, even though some of those stories would later be proven false.  The result of her trial ended in her acquittal and she was allowed to be set free.  This case represents a guilty person being set free and public outrage.  Due to the false information and inconsistencies presented at Casey’s trial, the jury found that the evidence against Casey was irrelevant and she was allowed to be set free.  Once she was released from jail, the public went into an outrage, forcing Casey to go into hiding for a long time.  A few years later, it was stated by her formed attorney, Jose Baez, that Casey exchanged sexual favors for counsel and that she indeed did murder her daughter due to her inability to be a mature and loving mother (Silva, 2016).  It is cases like this that cause miscommunication and misrepresentation in the field of criminal justice.  It is unfortunate, but it does happen.
