Casey Anthony's murder trial

[pomtzu]

I tned out way back. I just couldn't handle the testimony and it literally made me sick so best I didn't hear all the gory details.... but I just have to ask this question unless you were just making a point (which I think you were). But how do you unintentionally kill your daughter when it's murder?
In any case I do hope they can prove without a shadow of a doubt and I hope she gets what she deserves...beyond sad

I guess I worded that wrong - I should have said "intentionally caused her daughter's death".
Casey could have been trying to drug Caylee and get her to sleep, so that she could party hardy, without intending to kill her with a dose of chloroform. That's what I meant.
Of course I believe that she did it, but if I was on that jury, I couldn't give her the death sentence. There are no witnesses to Caylee's death, there are no fingerprints of Casey's anywhere linking her to the crime. Show me those, and I would say to fry her too!
Too many loose ends at this point. We'll see how the defense goes...........

I forgot about the premeditated clause. That angers me even more. So if you don't sit for a month and plan how and when you're going to kill your daughter then I guess you get away ith it. I guess I'm like Medussa...the duct tape did it for me plus stuffing her in the trash pointed to guilt on her part or common sense would have made her call for help.
Too many loopholes in the system for me. But then we aren't the law. Sad how the system can help so many kids but still have some fall through the cracks. It's open and shut as far as I'm concerned but like you said...nowadays you need a videao to prove your point.

.the duct tape did it for me plus stuffing her in the trash pointed to guilt on her part or common sense would have made her call for help.

But.......who saw Casey put her in the trash bag and dump the body??? No one!!! Where are the fingerprints on the duct tape and/or trashbag??? There are none!
Don't get me wrong - I'm in no way defending Casey - but she may benefit by all the loopholes in the system. Yes - people are convicted based on circumstantial evidence all the time. But at the same time, people are also wrongly convicted and spend their life in prison and are even put to death, only to have it proven much later, that they were not guilty afterall.

I'm no body language expert but I have been interested in body language all my life and when he was questioned as to whether or not he sexually molested Casey, his facial expression belied his answer in the negative.

I noticed this too. When he was asked the question, he had been looking straight ahead, but before he answered, he lowered his gaze and then looked back up again before he answered "no I did not".

I believe that George and/or Lee know a lot more than they are telling.

Nobody saw scott peterson kill and dump Lacy either but he's sitting in prison.

The fact that she was partying while they were looking for Caylee has me convinced that this mother wanted her child gone.

Yes - that's true - and this case was mostly circumstantial too. But there was never anyone else as a possible suspect/accessory, was there? In the Anthony case, they have cast suspicion/doubt on George too, and not just Casey. IMO - that's going to be the problem with getting Casey convicted of 1st degree.

The fact that she was partying while they were looking for Caylee has me convinced that this mother wanted her child gone.

I don't think many people would disagree with that. And her tattoo that she got when Caylee was "missing" - "Bella Vita" translates to "beautiful life". Didn't turn out so beautiful afterall, did it Casey???

And EveryOne Knows What Happens To Child Killers In Prision!! Yup Casey have Bella Vita Now You Piece of $#@*%..

[caseysmom]

George's involvement just doesn't add up, if Caylee drowned then why the duct tape. She could have been molested by George but that doesn't give her an excuse to murder her child.

Scott Peterson's defense team made up some other theories of other suspects but it was obvious who did it.

Pomtzu---I do get your point. I guess to me it just seems the evidence is so overwhelming that I would just toss her in jail for life. I think the picture of that little girl is a bit much to handle....But I agree about innocent people being found guilty on less evidence than they have here. The law sure does baffle me at times. I just hope this gets solved in a hurry.

Medussa---I think maybe that's part of what angers me the most......deep down I do think George is involved in not such innocent activities....the whole thing just turns my stomach.
I guess kids and animals just makle me feel like we should be protectig them from such monsters and I feel sick when we fail them.

But....... Where are the fingerprints on the duct tape and/or trashbag??? There are none!

After the amount of time that passed before the body was discovered, any fingerprints on the tape would have disappeared. At least that's what I heard a forensic person say yesterday.

[Medusa]

Of course I believe that she did it, but if I was on that jury, I couldn't give her the death sentence. There are no witnesses to Caylee's death, there are no fingerprints of Casey's anywhere linking her to the crime. Show me those...........

And there lies the problem, which is why some suspect that George might be involved. Obviously, I don't know whether or not he is involved in the actual murder or disposal of the body but my instincts tell me that he at least knows something that the rest don't know. I'm no body language expert but I have been interested in body language all my life and when he was questioned as to whether or not he sexually molested Casey, his facial expression belied his answer in the negative. Some read it as anger that he was even being asked the question. I read it as shame and fear that he was going to pressed on the matter. He probably will be pressed when the defense presents its case. That's what Baez is chomping at the bit to get started; turn the attention away from Casey and point the finger at George. There's no way this was a drowning accident. When Cindy mentioned it, Casey actually snickered and said "Surprise, surprise". Did Baez not see that jailhouse tape???
