PEACOCK RECEIVES BACKLASH OVER CASEY ANTHONY DOCUMENTARY

Peacock is receiving a lot of backlash for their decision to pick up its latest documentary.

The streaming company announced the three-part limited series titled CASEY ANTHONY: WHERE THE TRUTH LIES will release on November 29th.

For the first time on camera, Casey Anthony shared her side of the story since her culture-defining trial and acquittal 11 years ago.

Alexandra Dean directed CASEY ANTHONY: WHERE THE TRUTH LIES will be told through Casey’s account of the infamous investigation, trial, and aftermath, speaking to the speculation surrounding her actions at the time, her demeanor in the courtroom, and her time spent in prison.

“Since her acquittal in 2011, public opinion of Casey Anthony has been largely shaped by the media convinced of her guilt. Casey had never given an in-depth or on-camera interview explaining her actions until now, and as a filmmaker and journalist, my interest was in getting closer to the unbiased truth by hearing all sides of the story – from opposing voices to Casey herself. While having access to Casey was critical, it was even more important that we had complete editorial control over the outcome of the reporting we did. Casey did not see or give notes on the film. What emerges over the course of multiple interviews recorded over six months, is a startling psychological portrait of Casey Anthony and a complete narrative of what she says happened to her daughter weighed against multiple sources of potential evidence. I believe the result will surprise many, and cause the American public to look at this story in a new light.” -Alexandra Dean

The docu-series will also feature Casey’s archives, behind-the-scenes footage, and the defense evidence for a never-before-seen look into both sides of a story that ignited a media firestorm. 

Many social media users are expressing their disinterest in Peacock’s new documentary.
