Casey Anthony's murder trial

[momcat]

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?

Any "seasoned" defense attorney knows you don't have your client testify in their own behalf. That's why I also doubt she'll take the stand. As far as an inmate's confession, HE'S in prison for a reason, so his credibility is down the toilet. I'm sure he'll agree PROVIDING there's a deal in it for him.

IF, and it's a BIG IF, she does take the stand, I'll be front and center watching it. Until then, I've got better things to do. Let the jury do their job.

I heard that her parents also think she's guilty but don't want her to get the death penalty. That's coming from their attorney.

I have been put to sleep lately with the forensic testimony - I don't really understand most of it - but of course it has to be presented. Some of the experts for the defense are very credible tho, and this is making it even more difficult for the jury. They will be out for a long time deliberating this case IMO. Maybe a hung jury too????

Will Casey take the stand??? I seriously doubt it. She would be ripped apart by the prosecution, and who's going to believe anything she says anyway? How could she possibly explain away her actions following the supposed drowning in the pool? I find it really sad to see the pics of Casey and Caylee together - Casey "appeared" to be such a loving mother toward her. Maybe she was at one time, and then just snapped. And the fight that Casey had with Cindy the night before she disappeared??? Did Casey take Caylee's life to spite her mother? Very possible I think, seeing how much that the grandparents loved and pampered Caylee. People do many strange things to hurt others - the "I'll show you" way of thinking and acting.

In the end, I don't think anyone will ever know the real truth about what happened, with the exception of Casey of course. I'd like to think that she would break under the pressure and spill it all, but she's too cold and heartless for that. She's out to save her own backside, and screw everyone else.

And I don't know about anyone else, but I wish someone would put duct tape over Nancy Grace's mouth, or at least put a sock in it, just to shut her up. Talk about a drama queen and stirring the pot!!! I've heard crap out of her - and only her - that no one else is reporting and is not substantiated.

Yes, I'm w/you, Ellie, regarding Nancy Grace. She's unbelievably rude to her guests, even to the attorneys. She talks over them, interrupts them, ridicules them. Her show is tabloid journalism at its worst. I can only watch for a few minutes, then I have to turn it off. I see that she's going to have Natalie Holloway's mother on her show tonight. She's another one that I don't get. Of course, I sympathize w/her on the loss of her daughter but IMO she crossed the line a long time ago w/her personal appearances. Yes, seek justice for your daughter but it seems now that she just wants the spotlight for herself. I guess once you're in the spotlight, it's difficult to give it up.

I didn't watch for a couple of days so I decided to watch yesterday and, of course, the judge called a recess until Monday. Now I'm really confused. Some of the commentators were saying that possibly there could be a plea deal or that Casey is unhappy w/one or both of her male attorneys. I have a sick feeling that she may end up getting off.

I didn't watch it much this week - Cindy and Lee were both back on the stand, both blubbering. It's now looking like Cindy might be lying - saying that she did the Google searches and not Casey. First she was a witness for the prosecution, and now for the defense. Appears Cindy wants to cast enough doubt so that Casey doesn't get the death sentence.
Yes - yesterday is a total mystery to everyone and no one knows for sure what's going on, as the judge sealed all info. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.
And dear old Nancy-----------if I hear her mention one more time about the duct tape and the heart shaped sticker placed DI-RECT-LY (as she emphatically expresses it) over Caylee's mouth, I think I'll barf. Even that's not the truth, as it was testified to that the heart shaped sticky residue was at the edge and the cut end of the tape.
