After a long trial, Casey who was charged with first-degree murder of her own daughter was acquitted. Though she was found guilty of 4 counts of providing false information to officials.

Casey was sentenced to 4 years in prison by Judge Belvin Perry. At the time of her sentencing, she had already spent 3 years in jail, so she only had to spend one more year behind bars.

For instance, he was even claimed to be involved in the drowning of the Caylee in their family swimming pool which was alleged to have happened on July 16, 2008, hinting that the girl never went missing.

In the finale of the 2017’s Casey Anthony: An American Murder Mystery, George revealed that, “I don’t believe (the drowning). That’s a bunch of bull to me.”

He further added, “That’s too easy of a story to bring up ‘cause if that would’ve happened, I think my daughter would’ve at least had the common decency or common sense inside to call 911 and say something.”

Even during the filming of the documentary, George emphasized that, “Casey gave Caylee something” after he claimed that there were times when his granddaughter would just sleep for long lengths of time, sometimes even up to 13 hours.

After the trial of Casey was over, George and Cindy both remained to live in their Florida home.
