Casey Anthony's murder trial

[sasvermont]

I think the family has no class. Plain and simple. They don't relate well to other people. There seems to be a main theme to the family - screwed up - and I think "dysfunctional" group at best. They should all be medicated.

How's that for being abrupt!

I was in bed, ill, for a few days, and had cable TV then. I watched three days of the trial. I did feel sorry for Cindy, as she was having to recall the first few days of the child missing.

Having worked with attorneys etc. on criminal matters, I know how rehearsed much of the testimony is, so I usually figure at least 50% of what comes out in court is either a lie or greatly exaggerated.

I do think the little girl's Mom killed her.

There will be books published, of course. How else can they pay for this circus.

As the stomach turns.

IMO, the whole family is nuts. The only one I feel the least bit sorry for, is Cindy.
Maybe Caylee really did drown in the pool, but Casey and George both tried to cover it up. George is creepy and weird - a former cop turned security guard??? - a rent-a-cop - a real cop wanna-be??? Strange - it usually works in reverse. He was just too cool and calm when he learned Caylee was missing for 31 days too. And he tried to commit suicide??? - claims he was despondent because they couldn't get Caylee's remains released for burial??? I don't buy any of his crap.
And both parents never asked Casey who the father was when they found out she was pregnant??? And they never asked for any info on Zanny for 2 years?? What if there had been an emergency and Casey was sick or injured and couldn't get Caylee - how are George or Cindy going to get her if they don't have so much as a phone #?? Of course there was no nanny, but they didn't know that at the time. Yup - the whole family is nuts!!!
This whole sham of a trial is just a ploy to put doubt in the mind of the jurors, to try to avoid the death penalty for Casey. She probably will avoid it, but spend the rest of her life in prison. Frankly, if I was in her shoes, I'd rather be dead than face what she will have to face as a prisoner. Child abusers/molesters/murderers are the most hated prisoners of all, by other prisoners. She will probably have to live out her life locked up 23 hours per day, for her own protection. That beautiful little girl Caylee should still be here, and her wacko mother is the one that needs to be dead!
Glad I'm not on that jury............

There's a law now that says you can't profit from your crime so if any of them are found guilty and complicit in the case, they won't be able to write about it and profit from it. Of course, that won't stop the ones who aren't found guilty from writing/profiting.

And both parents never asked Casey who the father was when they found out she was pregnant???

Wasn't there a paternity test done to see if Lee was the father? What a "family"!

I don't know - I never heard that one

And just another thing Casey deserves if she is locked up permanently. Her cell walls need to be covered with pics of her "good life" - not only her partying, but with all the pics of herself with Caylee depicting what a loving and attentive mother that she was supposed to be. Those images should never be allowed to fade from her memory and she should be reminded with every breath that she takes, of what she gave up. Perhaps pics of Caylee's remains should be there too. IMO, Casey deserves all of that.

I'm pretty sure there was a paternity test done on Lee.

As for Casey, I doubt that anything will make her remorseful. I think she lacks a conscience. She'll only miss her family paying for everything and she'll miss her partying, that's all. She shows no emotion regarding Caylee and the fact that she waited 31 days to tell her family that Caylee was "missing" proves that. She wouldn't even have told them then if Cindy hadn't pressed her so hard. She'll probably get life in prison but I'll just bet that she'll get a new trial b/c Baez is so inexperienced and has already made quite a few blunders. Other attorneys have commented on it and also on his lack of professionalism, posing for photos w/onlookers outside the courthouse, etc. How tacky!

Sure she'll get a new trial, and there will be appeal after appeal after appeal. The FL taxpayers will just love all of that, I'm sure.
I don't normally follow any cases closely - just catch updates on the news - but I have this one on t.v. all day. I'm not necessarily watching it, but I'm listening to most of it anyway when I'm able to. For some reason, I got sucked into this case. I must like big train wrecks........

I haven'tbeen following this case, just reading brief accounts here & there.
I think the whole family sounds like a strange bunch.

One big trial that I did follow closely was the O J trial. Most of it was on TV too. He got away with murder if you ask me.
