Casey Anthony's Greedy Prosecutor, Jeff Ashton, To Cash In On Dr. Phil This Week

Jeff Ashton was the prosecutor of Casey Anthony who quit his job and immediately after the murder trial and wrote a tell-all book, ‘Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony’ – in order to cash in on his failure to convict murder mom, Casey Anthony. Now Ashton teams up with another mercenary, the blowhard Dr. Phil McGraw, in order to promote Ashton’s book on McGraw’s TV show this week. Dr. Phil cares about ratings above all else – as we know from the fact that he opened his current season with an interview with George and Cindy Anthony, the parents of Casey Anthony.

In the ‘Dr. Phil’ interview, Ashton discusses how he thinks Caylee Anthony died and why the jury acquitted Casey Anthony of murder in her daughter’s 2008 death.

‘Jeff will reveal the contents of Casey Anthony’s psychological report. This has never been disclosed before,’ McGraw says in the preview.

Ashton, an assistant state attorney with the Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office for three decades, retired days after the verdict in the case was handed down. Jurors that spoke out after the proceedings said the prosecution did not provide enough evidence for them to find Casey guilty of murder.

Jeff Ashton is a creep and Dr. Phil is a mooch – it seems totally unfair that a failed prosecutor is set to make millions off of the very trial he was responsible for screwing up and losing.

Do you agree with me? Should a prosecutor who blew the murder trial and allowed Casey Anthony to walk away free turn around and make a fortune off a book about the trial?

    You are a complete asshole.  He didn’t fail in his attempt to put her in jail.  The stupid jury couldn’t put together what a seven year old could so baby killer went free.  Why don’t you just give up your so called writing and go hand out fries where you belong.

      NO examination of the hard drive until NOVEMBER 2012; I had mine 100% reviewed in August 2011. Quit blaming the jury; since the appeal was handed down, a couple jurors have spoken out, in short: “I did not vote INNOCENT”. Face it, the State overcharged, and overlooked possibly important evidence. Why didn’t the STATE spend more time on agg. manslaughter? FDCF ‘gets it’; multiple administration of controlled substances to the child. She has any other child in her custody, there will be an investigation. thus, one time she administered too much, then tried to cover that felony.

      SEEING first when the jury saw agg. manslaughter didn’t put her in prison did it?

      And as we KNOW she had drugged the victim in the past, that makes 1st even MORE unlikely. EGOs probably allowed her to WALK,

    Nope, don’t think the prosecutor screwed up at all. This jury was as dumb as rocks! They blew this not the prosecution. I watched the trial and she was proven guilty beyond all doubt, the dumb jury believed fairy tales stated by an opening statement that they couldn’t back up. It was the jurys fault they were complete idiots.

    • Darla Jean Wilkes

      LE screwed up FIRST; the hard drive on the computer she used was never even sent to FDLE, or the FBI. And yes, the FBI will provide TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE to local LE.

    Casey anthony’s is nothing but a baby killer. going to hell.¡¡

  • Cheryl B

    Gee, a pathological, lying child killer chooses an unethical, lying lawyer. Imagine that! And then they get a jury who were sharing one very defective brain to acquit! Sorry, Ashton isn’t the creep in this situation. His only failing is he made an assumption that the jury were logical and /or intelligent. Anyone who could even consider the defense fairy tales as legitimate shouldn’t be allowed out unsupervised much less be on a jury.

    Gee, a pathological, lying baby killer chooses an unethical, lying lawyer. Imagine that! And then they manage to find a jury who are all sharing one very defective brain to acquit! Sorry, Ashton isn’t the creep here. He simply overestimated the competence of the jury. Anyone who would even consider the defence fairy tales to be legitimate should not be allowed out unsupervised leave alone be on a jury. Maybe Ashton’s insights in the book will help prevent this from happening again.

  • HannahBanana

    He is s creep. He went on talk shows and pretended to be so humble by suggesting everybody to accept the verdict (which was his fault by the way), to forget about Casey Anthony and not to read anything about her- then, he turns around and writes a book with her name on it- nice way to let people forget about her. I suspect all this book will talk about is how this was none of his fault and it was all because of the jury’s inability to come to the conclusion he wanted them to come to. Casey Anthony is guilty and she walked free because of his stupid court room antics, his unprofessional behavior and his lack of ability to convince a jury of the obvious.

      I assume you think the guilty baby killer, and no name Baez should make the money, after lying and manipulating everything they touched.  Unbelievable.  Rather see Ashton tell the truth, like Bozo would write a book and tell all.  RIGHT, what trial were you watching

      • Smigrobustus

        Huh? Yeah…thats stable reasoning….he thinks the prosc team blew the case, so NATURALLY, he thinks the killer and her defense team should make all kinds of money of of the case….yeah, makes sense……jeez…

  • KMiller

    Celebrity Dirty Laundry? I think this article is just an opportunist cheap shot. Ashton, on the other hand has integrity.

  • Jane

    I am tired of people saying the prosecution blew it. They did the best they could with what they had and were excellent advocates for Caylee. I think the jury made a big mistake and I think they are realizing that now that the trial is over. I look forward to reading Jeff Ashton’s insights on the trial.

    The reason Casey Anthony walked free is that the prosecutors decided to pander to the media by charging her with capital murder based on very flimsy evidence. Keep in mind that Florida is second only to Texas in putting people on death row, so the fact that
    they failed here should tell you something. It wasn’t the
    jury, who did their job, it was prosecutorial hubris and media stupidity that let Casey walk free. It’s a perfect
    example of why the media should be restricted in the way they cover criminal cases.

      I agree about the pandering bit. I can’t stand Casey, but it wasn’t a death penalty case, not by a long shot – clearly. 

    • Jsmith

      I wish people would stop thinking they know the law and do some research.  The case was weak at best.  Dr. G could not even give a cause of death, how can you say the manner of death is Homicide if you cannot tell me the cause of death ?  Secondly, it all begins and ends with the detectives.  WE (I am one with another agency) decide when to take a case to the State.  They fell for the media push and took the case to the State too early.  Had they waited Casey would have eventually “stepped on it” and made a mistake.  Did she kill her child, I am sure she did or knows who did and how.  But you have to have patience with these cases and tell the media to back off.  The detectives failed first, then the State failed to stop the madness.  The end result was a lost case, the jury was right in their decision the State failed to prove the case.  Again, think about it, you have a medical doctor saying the girl died, I dont know how, I cant tell you how, but it was a homicide.  Huh ?

    I’ve pre-ordered Ashton’s book and can hardly wait to read it. I watched every minute of the trial and was very impressed with Ashton and Linda Drane Burdick. I do believe they proved without any reasonable doubt that Casey suffocated Caylee by placing duct tape over her mouth and nose. But alas, the many pieces of circumstantial evidence that painted such a clear picture of what happened to Caylee was totally ignored by the jury. This was a jury of people who believed that direct evidence was the only evidence they could consider and totally disregarded and ignored any other kind of evidence. All twelve of them were obviously unaware that circumstantial evidence, in many cases, is much more powerful than direct evidence. And it was so in this case. Kudos to Ashton and the rest of the professional and ethical prosecution team. They fought hard for Caylee, but were thwarted by Caylee’s own family, lying, unethical defense lawyers, and a clueless jury.
     

  • Justice for Caylee

    I think Jeff Ashton has and will stand up for justice for Caylee.

    Better him tell the story and get the cash before Casey does; that’s for damn sure. 

  • Heather

    First, of all Mr. Ashton was planning on retiring regardless of the outcome of this trial.

  • Heather

    First of all, Mr. Ashton was planning on retiring regardless of the outcome of this trial. He actually held off retirement so he could prosecute this case.

    Secondly, prosecutors have to prosecute based on the evidence they have. (unlike the defense which can make up whatever story it wants at least in opening statements)

    They had to go with the chloroform/duct tape scenario since much of the other evidence was destroyed by the elements and the body not being recovered soon enough.

  • dkjfkjwebf

    Yeah this site always seems to be assholes to everyone they post about.

  • MB

    Whoever wrote this article couldn’t be more wrong. Jeff Ashton is completely justified in telling the truth about the case after all of the lies that Baez told during the trial (with no evidence to back up any of the claims).  Ashton did an incredible job during this trial.

    Ashton is just a bitter old sour-grapes loser who was no match for Casey Anthony’s dynamic, dedicated defense team. Now he hopes to earn a few dirty shekels by trashing Casey & her lawyers in print. Boycott him.

    • Cheryl B

      Dynamic, dedicated defense team? How about lying, unethical, loud mouthed manipulators? You know – the kind that appeals to delusional people…

  • Vosmeri35

    Yes, he should put a book out there  and keep doing interviews just to keep Casey in the public eye ..She is guilty in my opinion..There just has to be Something someone can do to get the truth out of her mouth and try to put Caylee to rest.  How AWFUL this whole case was and worst off  let someone who knows what happened go free…This whole ordeal is SAD :(

  • Andrea

    Totally agree.  Dr. ‘ill’ is selling his soul more and more for blood money.  Ashton legally should be charged w/ not charging $indee Anthony w/ perjury.  He should be disbarred according to Florida law.  He and Judge Perry should have charges filed.  12 paid jury members also-

    • Darla Jean Wilkes

      Silly response, LE did not investigate throughly, so blame the JURY? They may the correct decision, WITH THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED.
