Casey Anthony's murder trial

[Medusa]

I've watched a little today and Casey is still acting. I don't buy the tears. When she should've cried is when Caylee was first "missing" instead of dancing and joining hot body contests, etc. Even if the tears are genuine, too little, too late.

Well you know when a person is drunk & on drugs they dont really know what they did until the sobering has begun.. Missy Prissy has been locked up in jail long enough that the sobering has very much taken affect..

I've been watching today too - and I'd bet anything that those tears are what we used to call "crocodile tears"! As much as she is blowing and rubbing that nose of her, it should look like Rudolph's. I think when anybody cries even a little, their nose always gets red. I'd love to wipe that pouty look off her face too. Boy - talk about a Drama Queen.

When this story first broke, I was sure Casey was guilty but now I don't know what to think. As for George and Cindy, I believe they know much more about what happened than they're saying. If Caylee did accidently drown, why the coverup? How did she get in the pool in the first place? When her remains were found, why was there duct tape across her face? The nanny story feel apart early on.

Pictures of Casey with Caylee show a loving and devoted mother, then pictures of Casey partying show someone out there having a blast with no concerns about anything. All this while her 3 year old was missing? As for her behavior in court, give her an academy award!

From Casey it has been lie after lie right from the start. And she doesn't understand why she's not being seen as a victim!

George definitely knows more than he's saying, but I don't really think that Cindy does. The more I see and hear of Lee - well, I'm beginning to think he is involved - big time. Could it be that Casey is covering for him??? As I have expressed previously - the whole family is wacko IMO. Now to try to figure which one really is responsible for Caylee's death.
I wonder who and what the defense will present - and how can they dispute any of the expert evidence that has already been presented??? Casey needs to take the stand, but I doubt that she will. The prosecution would rip her to shreds!
More drama to continue tomorrow...........

Well, the defense doesn't have to prove that Casey did it but the prosecution does and as it stands right now, they haven't done that. I was ready to convict her but after seeing her family, I'm wondering. It's her car and they've pretty well proven that Caylee's body was in the trunk but they haven't proven that Casey put it there or that she had anything to do w/Caylee's disappearance. Lousy mom? Oh yeah. No good mom parties and carries on the way she did when her little girl is missing and she doesn't even report it. That doesn't mean she committed the murder, though, and the prosecution had better find some hook or she's liable to be acquitted or at least granted a new trial.

As for George being an ex-cop and being too smart to try to cover it up, it happens. Right here where I live, just 20 minutes away, a cop murdered his girlfriend b/c she was pregnant and he already had several children out of wedlock and he didn't want to financially support another one. He tried to cover up the murder scene w/bleach b/c he knew that had been successful in the past for other murder suspects but he had an accomplice who was mentally challenged and she confessed and incriminated him. He's now serving life in prison. (I wish I could think of the names of those involved but I can't. It happened here a few years ago. The victim's body was discovered not too far from here.) I think both George and Lee are somehow involved or Lee at least knows more than he's telling. It'll be interesting next week, that's for sure.

ETA: For the record, I do think Casey did it. It's the heart sticker that did it for me b/c she put a sticker like that on each pet that she had when it died. Dr. G ruled it a homicide but based on investigative analysis and past cases, not on any "proof". That's not good for the prosecution and I'm sure Baez is going to jump all over that, if he's a decent attorney anyhow.

You're right Mary - so far no one can prove that Casey did it - even tho she probably did or knows who did. It doesn't make sense that she would dump the body so close to home and so close to the road tho. I don't mean to sound morbid or offend anybody, but being in FL, there are plenty of other places she could have gotten rid of it and alligators would have seen to it that no remains were ever found. Wasn't there a video of a police search for an alligator in a pond near her home, when they were presenting the cadaver dog videos? Too many things just don't add up.
And that heart shaped sticker just freaks me out. How sick!!!

I totally agree with you about Caylee's remains being so close to the Anthony's home. Somehow I remember in the early days of the search, the area where the remains were located was searched but nothing was found. Then the utility worker made the discovery a few weeks later. This is so convoluted I could well be mistaken about the previous search but at this point anything is possible.

It's important to remember that the jury isn't hearing all the things we are, only what the judge deems admissable. Plus, the prosecutor must convince all 12 jurors of guilt while the defense only needs to convince one of reasonable doubt.
