Casey Anthony's murder trial

[Medusa]

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.

LOL I know what you mean. I don't know why I watch her show. Self punishment or something. I like to catch up w/what's happened b/c I just can't sit in front of the TV all day. I'd lose my mind, especially w/court TV. It moves so slowly.

I still can't shake the feeling that George is involved in some way. Perhaps not w/the murder but w/the disposal of the body, although I can't imagine a grandfather doing that but then I can't imagine a mother doing that either. Every time I see the one pic of Caylee looking up w/those big brown eyes I think of my son. His eyes were just like that w/long eyelashes. The thought of anyone harming him at that age makes me squirm.

Do you ever watch Dr. Drew? I gave up on it. He just comes across as a snake oil salesman to me. He's always saying how the thought of what happened to Caylee makes him nauseous. He said it every show! I'm not the only one it bugged b/c I guess people wrote to him and told him to knock it off. He's supposed to be a professional and he acts like a little teenager, saying things like "Don't send me mean email" or "Don't post mean things to me on Twitter". Please.

Okay Mary - another sucker for punishment chiming back in here. I watch Jane, Nancy & Dr Drew, but only if I didn't get much of the actual proceedings for the day. I don't know why I bother to watch any of them, since they all say the same thing and it's all pro-prosecution anyway. Even when the defense has even a somewhat credible witness and brings up points that pokes holes in the prosecution testimony, then those three rip them to shreds and call them liars. I keep my t.v. on in my bedroom and walk in every so often to see what's going on so I can at least hear some of the arguments by the defense.
And I agree with you about George - all is not peachy with him. Cindy is a manipulative b*tch who would like everyone to think she is all sweetness and nice, and Lee is a spoiled brat. He was blubbering on the stand this week about how hurt and left out he was concerning Casey's pregnancy - that Cindy told him to "let it go", so basically he stayed in his room and sulked and ignored all that transpired around him - said it didn't concern him. He would have had to been blindfolded to not see what was happening all around him, yet he claimed he didn't know this or notice that. Oh sure!!!!
Oh yeah - this family is dysfunctional - to the MAX!

I'm pretty sure Cindy is lying now. Why did she wait 3 years to 'suddenly' tell that it was her that was looking up all those things on the computer. Did she maybe leave her daughter in jail that long to teach her a lesson.

something is very odd about Lee. Getting that upset because he wasn't invited to a baby shower? or at the hospital when Caylee was born, and because he wasn't included?

Ok, maybe it's my family that's odd. If my brother acted like that I'd call the psych ward. Guys in our family never do the baby showers and certainly don't cry about not being invited, specially years later.

Even though I really think Casey killed Caylee, I'm betting she gets off. I just hope if she does get off, she gets neutered to protect any further children from her and her whacky famly.

Since I can't watch the trial during the week, I catch Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night. The Judge gives a balanced commentary with attorneys for both sides giving comments.

Something was mentioned last night on Judge Pirro, a woman who claims she had an affair with George says she knows exactly what happened to Caley. If this is true where was she for 3 years? The attorneys for both sides say her credibility is at best questionable.

It was also brought out that many people are sending money for Casey's prison account and she's making out like a bandit! This family is coming across as a bunch of wierdos. Even on the stand it's one lie after another.

The defense won't put Casey on the stand, her credibility is shot. The prosecution would tear her to shreds on her lies alone. It will be interesting to see if this will go to the jury by the end of the week. It will also be interesting to see how long it will be to reach a verdict.

Well, the big bruhaha over the weekend seems to be that the defense asked for a mistrial (again) claiming Casey isn't compentent to stand trial because of all the stress she is under.

Anyway, the judge had her examined by 3 different doctors. They declaire she is fine. So the judge said the trial will go on. Casey was smiling when she went into the court room this morning. She's not smiling now.
