Casey Anthony case subject of Lifetime movie tonight (Video)

At 8 p.m. (ET) tonight Lifetime is presenting "PROSECUTING CASEY ANTHONY (2013)." Rob Lowe portrays Jeff Ashton, a Florida prosecutor in the 2011 criminal trial of Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter, even though many people thought there was overwhelming evidence of her guilt.

Based on Mr. Ashton’s best seller, “Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony,” the film, which also stars Elizabeth Mitchell and Oscar Nuñez, goes behind the scenes to examine how he and his fellow prosecutors built their case, why Ms. Anthony was proclaimed not guilty of the 2008 killing, and why he remains convinced of her guilt.

“Beyond the Headlines: Prosecuting Casey Anthony,” at 10, introduces the actual people in the case.
