Casey Anthony TRIAL THREAD #1

[joviroxx]

Apparently, there will be juror instructions for the 911 calls. The Judge will specifically tell the jury that they are not to consider these as evidence to criminal acts such as stealing the car or money. They are to be used only to show Cindy's state of mind.

If Caylee is with the nanny, wouldnt she need the carseat? The backpack had tooth brushes. And being gone for a month, how many of Caylees clothes were taken from the house? Youd think alot of clothes would be gone for her to change them. I dont know if they ever questioned that. I dont know if this has been asked, I asked earlier but the page turned so it is lost now, but the when casey borrowed the shovel, did anyone find the hole where she was digging and did the cadaver dog hit on that area?

The defense is saying Caylee died on June 16th so she wouldn't need clothes to change in to.

Right. Then why bring the backpack and doll into the car?

I think it shows that the death didn't happen at the house like she says.

The defense really can't explain away everything. Casey told way too many lies.

Hmm, not sure if I agree with that. Why can't they use it?

Totally agreed.

Cindy and George didn't for 1 minute believe Casey was an angel. The girl was always lying, stealing money, never graduated from high school. Yes, they did their share of enabling Casey. They probably shouldn't have supported her they way they did. Looks like once Caylee came around, they were just plain scared that Casey would up and leave with the little girl.

This is like my brother - total deadbeat, but got a girl pregnant. He ended up with custody of the child, and it was like a free ticket for my mother to continue enabling him.

Fortunately for all involved, nobody is a sociopath. That I know of. Just plain selfish.

in my case - we have a carseat in every car dd would have been in, mine, dh, my brothers, parents adn even my aunt has one.

dd had a bunch of toothbrushes and so many clothes my parents (we live with them) wouldn't know if i had packed 3 huge cases of her clothes or just an overnight bag.

it's so strange to me to see someone who even though is an adult doesn't tell her parents whom she's living with that she wont be home

i know her mother said she's an adult with a child and can do whatever she wants but for me even if we were out for dinner i could call my mom so she wouldn't include us in the meal planning.

just curtosy. to hear about a family who doesn't do this just sounds so strange to me

Im sure they knew that Casey didn't have the means to take care of Caylee. Everyone around them told them that Casey had issues, but sadly, they just tried to cover it up for appearances and for whatever reason, further enabled the behavior. Ive seen parents do much worse.

But even through all these lies, you can see they kept giving Casey chances. Do you really think that they believed, for even 1 minute, that Caylee was missing because Casey killed her? I don't. They were probably more worried about who Casey gave her to! They must feel every emotion in the book. They probably feel overwhelming guilt as well. I don't see them as evil. Misguided maybe, but not evil. They wanted to believe their daughter was good, sadly its hitting them smack in the head and it must be very painful. They need to admit the truth about Casey for the first time and this time, they can't help her out of this mess anymore.

At least, thats how I see it. Today... (reserve the right to change my mind as testimony continues!)

I think you and I are pretty much always on the same wavelength with this case.

Some head shaking from Casey at the end of the 911 recording.

Ditto, with my brother and his daughter when she got pregnant at 16. They enabled her because "there's a baby involved now", as they told my mother.

The only reason I ask about the clothes is, it seems George and Cindy supplied everything for Caylee, and cindy is really like um a perfectionist she would know how much of her stuff was gone. And with all the spending nothing was ever bought for caylee. So it seems like some stuff would have gone with the child as she did not come home to get her more clothes. giving the fact she was gone for 30 days and they did not know anything was wrong at that time. And who would have supplied the nanny with another car seat. I am not defending casey I believe she did do something with caylee. I just dont know if these issue came into question with the police

2nd call. Cindy suffering through this, Casey stonefaced.

 

[Metro West]

I really cannot wait till this whole thing is over...Living in Orlando, and this being ALLL anyone talks about...I have had enough..

Yup and please don't go downtown until this is over or you'll be sorry.

I honestly think Cindy needs a break from the witness stand. If I saw my mom up there suffering like that, I wouldn't be able to handle it.

 

[pigletgirl]

She just looks totally ripped apart.

 

[joviroxx]

She just looks totally ripped apart.

She has completely fallen apart with this 3rd call. She is completely sobbing. I can't tell you how my heart goes out to her. God bless her, she really needs it.

 

[ilovepete]

Oh wow this has me sobbing and I am not a crier. I don't know how Casey is sitting through this with no reaction.

 

[ugadog99]

For Casey's sake, it's a damn good thing I'm not sitting on that jury right now. She is HANGING herself with this 911 call! No doubt in my mind she is guilty as sin!!!

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

This is heartbreaking. I've got a knot in my stomach.

How can Casey just sit there like that?! This would be a perfect time for her to say "OK, I did it." Like that's gonna happen.

 

[epcot.girl]

Can't say I blame her. It's absolutely horrible to listen to. It must bring back the memory of finding out for the first time that Caylee is really, genuinely missing.
