Casey Anthony's murder trial

[Medusa]

George Anthony is lying IMO. As one of the commentators said "He oversold it". When asked yes or no questions, he gives much more info than necessary. Just b/c Holloway sold her story to the Enquirer doesn't mean she's lying. She saw dollar signs, that's all. And just b/c George lied about the affair doesn't mean he was lying about smelling human decomposition in the trunk of Casey's car. I think that probably most people will lie about an affair to cover their behinds and he especially would w/his wife Cindy sitting right there.

For a while I feared that Casey would walk. I don't feel that way now. Baez was in over his head so she may get another trial. If he were my attorney, I would've fired him a long time ago.

I just heard Sunny Hostin say that she thinks it's suspicious that so many of the Anthony's dogs died. "Who was killing all the dogs?" she said. COME ON! Does she think pets live forever? I rather liked her until that stupid crack.

I think Court TV is now Tru TV.

I found myself getting wrapped up in this case. I do believe Casey killed Caylee but her father gives me the creeps. I'm not buying into the sexual molestation bit but somehow I think he's involved. Maybe he knew about the murder, I don't know. I doubt that we'll ever know.


I had a friend like Casey. She lied just to lie and I busted her several times but her explanations were always plausible so that our friends dismissed what I had to say. I knew she was involved in some funny stuff but I didn't know what it was. Even her death is mysterious. It was ruled a suicide but all of her friends, including me, insist that it was murder made to look like a suicide. None of us wants to investigate further, however, b/c we don't want to be murdered! This just isn't our world and we don't want to enter.

It is Tru TV, Mary.
Casey killed Caylee because she wanted to party and be promiscuous. A man does not want a woman tied down with a 2 year old.
As far as all the pets dying they wont be with us forever is right.
Casey acted alone in the murder IMO.
Mom Cindy is a liar under oath (about chlorophyl search).
The father is a liar. He had an affair."I need you in my life" text to a woman other than your wife? p-uh-lease. She was more than just a volunteer to him.

Ms. Holloway is a liar.
And I cant blame her or Mr. Kronk for trying to cash in on their stories, JMO.

I would fire Mr. Baez too, Mary. And I will never hire that private investigator Mr. Casey either LOL!

I dont see Casey the psychopath, getting the death penalty. Too bad...sorry had to vent
p.s Excuse my spelling errors!

[Medusa]

I will never hire that private investigator Mr. Casey either LOL!

Oh boy, he's really something! He seems confused all the time. I certainly wouldn't want him as a PI. I doubt he knows which end is up.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

MS Holloway though admitted she lied under oath, so IMO, how can she be believed now even though she is under oath again? When they asked if she swears to tell the truth, the entire truth, and nother but the truth, she should have said no or at least as would as long as it fitted her purposes.

I think, if anyone helped Casey with Caylee it would be Lee. There is just something so off between those two. When he gave the CMA speach at Caylee's memorial he promised he wouldn't forget the promise he made to her and she was such an inspiration to him. He did admit he was talking about Casey, not Caylee.

He also said earlier today, he had buried some of their pets with the trashbag/duct tape.

[pomtzu]

Many, many ,many, many ,many people bury their pets with blankets, towels, plastic bags, tape, etc, but does that put ideas in their head about how they could dispose of a human body??? I highly doubt it!!! Like I said - just grasping at straws.
And so true Mary - George really oversold his denial when he was on the stand. He made himself look very foolish indeed. I actually felt bad for him and his tearful testimony - the first time he came across as the least bit compassionate - but there's still something just not right about what he is saying.
Those poor jurors - their heads must be spinning. Can't imagine how they will be able to come to a speedy verdict.

[Medusa]

Yes, I've buried all my pets in plastic bags after wrapping them in beach towels or blankets. If they're buried on your property, that's only logical b/c other animals, dogs, etc. could dig up their remains otherwise. Never once, though, did I think "Hmm, this would be a good way to dispose of a human after I murdered someone". C'mon! They're desperate now.

I just don't know about ol' George. Y'know, he's human. If he had an affair, so what? It happens every day. However, if he was visiting her while his wife thought he was looking for work and/or he should've been helping w/the search for Caylee, then that makes him not so nice but still human. I just don't buy the abuse story, at least not as regards to him. Lee, maybe. He creeps me out.

This Crystal Holloway is cashing in on her affair, she acts all mad that he denies it...well duh you were married and so was he and you feel theneed to shout it from the rooftop now that you are making money off it, she makes me sick.

[GrandChester]

This whole trial is making me sick

[momoffuzzyfaces]

The lawyers are fussing again. The judge just told them they better get it together because they were going to all work everyday, including Sunday and Monday and everyday until the trial is finished. If I was a juror, I'd be so anxious to get home, I'm not sure I'd deliberate very long when they finally get the case.

[pomtzu]

I didn't get to watch any this a.m. - out doing grocery shopping for the month. Everything's put away - finally - so I'm headed for t.v. land to catch up. Sounds like a morning full of b.s. tho - just like every other day.........

[Medusa]

I have never waffled so much in my life! One minute I think George is lying, the next minute I think he's credible. I guess b/c Crystal Holloway joined the mix. I think they did have an affair but she's admitted that she was the pursuer, not that it's an excuse but George has "liar" written all over his face regarding the affair. There's a word for Holloway and it's not a very nice one. It refers to people who go after so-called "famous" people.

There's one part of his "suicide" note (I don't believe it was a real attempt) that bugs me and that's where he said that Casey doesn't belong in jail or that she shouldn't be there, something to that effect. He knows more and I still can't shake the feeling that he was involved somehow, if only w/the disposing of the body. I can't imagine that he would do it the way it was done, though, but then again, I can't imagine the whole case!

Also, Cindy lying on the stand: will Judge Perry be the one to decide whether or not to indict her for perjury? Given how strict he was w/the 28 year old man who flipped the bird to Atty. Ashton and gave him 6 days in jail and a fine, I wonder if he'll stick to the letter of the law w/Cindy. Or do you think he'll decide that she's been through enough? I can certainly understand her reason for lying under oath but it does indicate that she thinks Casey murdered Caylee, IMO.

[pomtzu]

Mary - I'm right there with you re: George and Cindy. George knows more than he's telling, and Cindy - well can you say "liar"?? - or should I say "another liar"?? She should be charged with perjury, but I don't think it will happen and the court will take pity on her considering all she has been thru. I just can't figure why she would lie for that obviously no good daughter of hers. Daughter or not - she probably murdered Caylee. How can you overlook and forgive that, because that's what Cindy is doing! I look for George to break too, once the trial is over - maybe suicide??? Just speculating of course. It seems that Lee is the only one telling any truths, but how to know - maybe just a lot of unspoken lies are lurking there in him.
I heard something last night on one of the HLN shows from a caller. Cindy claims that her little dogs we tired and lethargic - unexplained "diagnosis". This caller speculated that perhaps Casey was "practicing" the use of chloroform on them. If she is capable of all that she has obviously done, then she sure would be capable of that. Just the thought of the possibility, made me furious.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I think that Crystal Holloway is lying about the affair. She swore under oath that it didn't happen until, a few days later, the National Enquirer offered her money for the story. She even admitted, under oath again, that she lied. How do we know she's not lying about lying that first time? So far, no one has proved George has lied about anything.

I think Cindy was trying to save Casie's life. I personally don't think Casie will get the death penality if convicted, just a jail sentence.

I think Cindy was trying to save Casie's life. I personally don't think Casie will get the death penality if convicted, just a jail sentence.

Of course that's what Cindy is doing. If she was my daughter - well - I'd have to let the judicial system give her what she deserves. Call me cold, but that's how I feel about it.
Would I stand by my son if he killed his daughter or son because they cramped his style, and he couldn't go out and party with his buddies?? Absolutely not.
And I blame George, and mostly Cindy, for the way Casey is. Cindy obviously taught Casey well on how to be a liar, and they both enabled her to do whatever she wanted when she was growing up (according to what has been reported). No discipline or restrictions??? And Cindy testified on the stand, how she always taught Casey to tell the truth. Please - spare me the b.s. Mrs Anthony! Hmmm - great parenting.

Now that the case is with the jury, it will be interesting to see how long it will take them to reach a verdict. Several years ago, my Mom was a juror on a felony murder trial. It's important to remember that the jury didn't hear what we did outside of actual trial testimony.

The prosecution didn't present any solid evidence that Casey did kill Caylee but at the same time the defense didn't present any solid evidence that she didn't. Listening to closing arguments, I think the defense was able to raise reasonable doubt. Baez did well countering the prosection's main arguments.

Hung Jury?
