Lightning strikes tree near Caylee Anthony memorial site
Hours after Casey Anthony learned on Thursday that she will leave jail next week, lightning apparently struck a tree next to a makeshift memorial in honor of her slain daughter, Caylee.
No one saw lightning strike the pine tree on Suburban Drive in Orange County, Florida, where teddy bears and flowers mark the spot where 2-year-old Caylee's remains were found on December 11, 2008.
But long, diagonal strips of exposed wood scarred the tall pine tree, WESH reported, and bits of bark lay scattered across the road.
"It could be a sign from the angels that they aren't happy with what's happened," a visitor to the site told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper. "The rain, the lightning, the storm - it's the heavens indicating they aren't happy."
There are more lightning strikes in Florida per square mile than in any other state, according to weather.com.
A Pinellas County jury acquitted Anthony, 24, of murder and manslaughter charges Tuesday in the death of her daughter. The same jury convicted her of four charges of obstruction of justice for lying to police during the search for Caylee.
Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Anthony to four years in jail - one year for each of her four convictions - but with credit for nearly three years already served and good behavior, her release date was set for Wednesday, July 13, a court spokeswoman said.

Interesting to say the least. Now it lightning would hit each of the 12 jurors in the head maybe they would get a clue.
Really? Is this how low CNN has sunk? Do you have one ounce of journalistic integrity left, or are you just satisfied to report on nonsense while simultaneously weakening the fabric of American society. I am taking CNN off my RSS feed and bookmarks. Really pathetic.
Nancy Grace is a clown...a joke...quickly becoming an irrelevant sidebar.
BAN the NAN...
Call the witch-doctors!!!

That lighting strike was from caylee saying that she is not happy with the verdict!! Casey u killed your daughter,how can you live with yourself? I hope and pray that every time that u look in the mirror you see caylees fase.
If she has supernatural powers don't you think she would have used to have Casey convicted, or at least hit HER with a lightning strike rather than a tree?
F you mom!
@ ds, 8:40:
Yes indeed, I did notice that you didn't capitalize your word, "atheist's" (sic), as in "atheist's (sic) are..."
I also noticed that you hadn't mastered the plural/possessive relationship.
And you call atheists stupid.
Back to school!
One thing is for sure, that child was murdered and the one who did it is at large. Most everyone knows that Casey Anthony and her family know what happened to her. God knows what happened to her...i doubt that Casey will ever be honest with herself..and seriously doubt she will ever tell the TRUTH. But, yes, you still have time on this earth to honor her by being honest. Justice will be served for that little innocent child!
Really CNN? Really? This is news?
The evidence was in a trash bag in the woods, a skeletal head and hair wrapped in duct tape, ID-ed as Caylee's remains, which had been previously rotting in the mother's car while she partied at bars. Guess the jury was drinking lead kool-aid.
It used to be you only saw this kind of stupidity in the super market tabloids. Now it's considered reportage by a leading news source. More evidence of how totally the American education system has failed.
"Its the angels." Ignorant...
This story's aimed right at the Nancy grace crowd who'll eat up this nonsense. Example: "The devil's dancing tonight." Thanks Nancy for reinforcing the ignorant southern white trash stereotype.
It has got to be a sign!! When my fathers best friend was murdered and as they were questioning the suspect, who was lying through his teeth, lightning struck the building and the cop says to him, dont you think God is trying to tell you something. I guess he thought so cuz the guy broke down right then and confessed...crazy.
