The Anthony saga will be an issue in the state attorney’s race. Did former prosecutor Jeff Ashton impress or annoy with his trial performance? Was the state attorney’s office, under Lawson Lamar, right to seek the death penalty against Anthony? Do voters think the state attorney’s office did its best on the case? If there is Anthony fatigue, is there an opening for challenger Ryan Williams, another former prosecutor under Lamar?
Could that “seemingly glacial pace” mean we won’t hear from Anthony for a long, long time, if ever? That may be good news for some, and bad news for others. The Anthony story isn’t going away.
