Casey Anthony's murder trial

[pomtzu]

HLN was saying tonight that it came out that Caylee might not have been dead when they put her in the trash bags. Good Lord if the state had evidence of that and didn't let the jury hear it, I think that would be criminal.

AARRGGHHHHH! I heard it last night too, but only one source is reporting anything about it - NANCY GRACE. Now isn't that a surprise?? I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and did a Google search, but darned if I can find anything other than what came out on HLN. She should work for a trash reporting tabloid - IMO.

She and Jane Velez Mitchell are two of a kind. I was gone most of today so I didn't see any court room drama. JVM starts her show by yelling "Issues!" (the name of her show) but it sounds like someone should say "Gezundheit!" She's such an actress w/her exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. I like listening to the "experts" but I wish she would stay out of the discussion and just ask questions.

Today on Fox news they were trying to make a big deal because the defense's expert said there was no blood evidence in the car. It doesn't surpised me that there wasn't any. If the baby was tripple bagged before being put in there and if she had no bleeding before death, fluids might not have leaked out into the car.

Seems like Fox news is on the defense side and HLN on the states side.

Last night I watched a special with Judge Pirro, very interesting. The defense attorney may face sanctions for holding something back from the prosection. The judge went off on him while the jury was out because of it.

Another thing brought up was Casey's behavior in the courtroom. Film clips show her crying and often looking away from the monitor while the jury is seated. When the jury is out she's laughing, smiling, and acting like this is no big deal.

As for the defense saying the baby accidently drowned, why wait 3 years to bring that up? Judge Pirro made a good point regarding the defense position; if it was an accident why is Casey allowing her father to frame her for a murder that never happened? All they had to do was report the accident and there'd be no need for the trial.

I've only been able to catch bits and pieces of the actual trial but this is getting stranger by the day. Casey and her mother don't get along at all. It was said that Cindy was constantly telling her what a bad mother she was. It was also brought out that Casey and Cindy had a bitter argument the day the baby disappeared.

Every time I think I have this figured out, something new gets tossed into the mix.

Catmom,

Welcome to the wonderful world of our totally disfunctional judicial system!! But you already KNOW that!!!

I'll call you tonight from my summer home in Farmington. Actually dog sitting for two great dogs, Shadow and her son Jake. She's a black cattle dog and he is a beautiful, chocolate pittie with the personality of a MUSH!

On this morning's news update they said Casey's story of Calley drowning in the family pool was "borrowed" from another inmate. Someone from the jail called the prosecutor and suggested they talk to this inmate The inmate in question reportedly had a son who drowned in their family pool and was found by his grandfather. The inmate claims she never spoke directly with Casey. Let's see where this one goes.

The water is really getting muddy now. Both sides are irritating. This trial has dragged on for too long, at least to keep my attention. If Casey takes the stand, then I'll watch but I doubt that she will. I still think she drugged Caylee, that it was an overdose and that she dumped her like trash. Why the duct tape? Maybe to keep Caylee from crying out, I don't know. Maybe we'll never know. It appears that everyone is lying. How can we believe anything that anyone says?

Our justice system sucks. The young man that flipped the bird to Jeff Aston promptly was sentenced to six days in jail and a $650.00 fine and that psycopath killed her beautiful defenseless little girl and got away with it. OJ all over again.

I didn't realize that there were this many jurors in the room who saw/heard all the evidence in the case firsthand.

Incredibly deep and diverse jury pool, and to have them all be right here on PT.

But one of the five alternate jurors spoke to reporters after arriving home Tuesday night in St. Petersburg and said he would have reached the same conclusion had he taken part in the deliberations.

"I agree with it wholeheartedly," said Russell Huekler, a teacher. "It was the right decision that was made."

Obviously you are a defense lawyer.

No, just constantly amazed by the public following a trial which doesn't affect them in the least thousands of miles away and completely ignoring things which affect them directly in every segment of their lives.

Sensationalism sells.

Congrats to CNN et. al., another rating kill on a hyped case.

No, just constantly amazed by the public following a trial which doesn't affect them in the least thousands of miles away . . .

I feel the same way. Especially when it only seems to upset the people viewing it. I swear, I know a couple people that probably have a new ulcer or two from watching this trial on a daily basis. I hadn't heard much about it, except for the verdict. Sad, either way, because that little girl is still gone.

What if she is innocent? The media had her guilty before anyone was sure she was even dead.

She was a bad mother, yes, but did she actually kill her own child?

I still think the grandmother did it.

Yes - isn't it grand that we can all have our opinions and can state them??? Just one aspect of our rights of living in "the land of the free" - that good old "freedom of speech". That's why, most of the time when I say something controversial, I also say "IMO".
