Casey Anthony TRIAL THREAD #1

[DWGal210]

Morning, all!

I'm here & ready for today!

Did they ever say if court would be in session on Saturday?

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I saw that 'n thought oh, here we go with all the body language "experts," drives me nuts coz first, it's all open for interpretation 'n second, it's not evidence by legal standards.



And yet she got the balloon boy wrong.

Yep--she never said she was perfect.

She is otherwise vetted for her skills, though.

How many cases have you gotten right?

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Why oh why does Baez like getting in trouble? Right out of the gate, he was told he could not talk about this yesturday.

For those of us not actually watching--you gotta be more specific.

Not sureb but I thought they were doing a half a day saturday. I am waiting to hear if they will be doing the trial on monday

Sorry, he started asking tony about a secret and the judge said yesturday he could not ask him that as it was heresay. And he restarted again.

So Baez asked Tony if Casey ever said she loved him- answer yes! He then went on to ask Tony if he ever told Casey that he loved her- answer Yes! Looks like Mr. Bozo just provided motive for the prosecution.

He's an idiot. Did you hear him ask Tony if he spoke a lot to Casey on the phone, even when they weren't together? And Tony says that if they were together, they wouldn't be talking on the phone. Baez MEANT when Tony was out of town, but he can't phrase a simple question.

Morning, all!

I'm here & ready for today!

I THINK it is. I think the question is will they work on Monday, the holiday, and Judge Perry is supposed to say today. I wouldn't be surprised if he announces it at the end of the day.

Judge Perry..."Mr Lazzario".

Oh yeah, Bella Vida!

I have a question for you experts and I apologize if this has been discussed already. I remember watching tv and seeing lots of footage of George and Cindy Anthony visiting that P.O.S. Casey in jail....pleading with her to tell them where Caylee was etc. I also seem to recall Casey at one point refusing to see her mother because she was angry at her and only agreeing to see George. Clearly, because he was a "molester" you know - LUDACRIS!!!! It was so obvious back then that George cared about and loved Caylee AND Casey even when it was obvious to the rest of the world who was guilty here. It was also very clear that no, George did not know where Caylee was and did not know she had died in the pool.

My question is this - are those tapes admissble in court? I think I recall hearing the prosecution would not be able to use them, but wanted to verify. If they cannot use them, what a shame.

According to the rules of evidence the tapes should absolutely be admissible in court. Any & everybody utilizing the jail facilities is fully aware that everything is monitored & recorded & there is no expectation of privacy.

Now, whether they have already been deemed eligible or ineligible via pre-trial motions in this case, I have no clue. I haven't followed the case well & now get most of my info. right here or if the Today show gives a little blurb.

One of the bits I did see from the Today show was George being asked about the abuse, his pause & looking at his lap. That did bother me. I watch witnesses testify every day. I can generally tell the lies. I've been in many, many sexual abuse cases. I don't know what to make of this situation. Overall, down deep, I have a creeping suspicion this is a carefully crafted defense story, very, very carefully crafted.

What I am fairly confident of is that George did not participate in the cover up of the murder. It's not nearly well-done enough for anyone who has familiarity w/ law enforcement like he does.

Good Morning All......2nd cup of coffee.

Her blouse is very "motherly" this morning. Interesting how it's a morning about Caylee.

 

[Dr.Girlfriend]

George is back on the stand!

I'm not involved in courts in any way (except on TV), but I just saw his looking down as composing himself when he really just wanted to scream his outrage at being falsely accused.

I completely agree with you on the issue of covering up a murder or any death, ESPECIALLY an accidental death. Why do that?

 

[Dee77]

Thanks--she isn't so little anymore. This happened several years ago. Physicians practically promised that there would be no permanent scarring or damage since she was so young and how her burns were treated. Sure enough--it is extremely difficult to see where the burns are. She has no memory of it at all.


BTW, eyes for lies has her analysis up of George's testimony. She believes him (regarding Jose's claim of what happened to Caylee, 100%). She is reserving on the other claims as she really needs to see more footage. Also, she will not do an analysis of Baez at anytime saying that the job is hard enough as it is.

Below is an excerpt specifically about the abuse claims from the Eyes for Lies blog mentioned by Lisa Loves Pooh.


"In my eyes, Casey is not able to speak the truth and is willing to lie at the drop of the hat, so we have no reason to put any credence in this claim unless we see or hear something that truly gives this claim validity. In watching George, I don't see any clues that he is lying, but I would like to see him or Casey talk more about this before I draw any final conclusions."

She clearly uses outside information to make her judgements and not just what she sees on the witness stand or interviews etc.

You can't unring a bell.

I'll side w/ your judgment on George's reaction because you are watching it. It is a perfectly valid response in his situation. All I had to go on was one of those shots of just his visual reaction, w/ a commentator discussing what was happening at that point.

I'm not 100-percent positive either way about the abuse claim. Like I said, down deep I suspect it's an artful creation by the Defense.

Sexual abuse of children is an insidious thing, most often goes undetected or unproven just by its very nature. IMO it may well be the worst of the worst of criminal actions & those who prey on children should have a special pit of hell reserved for them.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Exactly. And that's what infuriates me, altho I'm sure there's a whole class in law school on how to ring that bell. Baez's opening statement talked about the Big Secret about sexual abuse. Now he's saying "Don't say what it is, but BEFORE she was arrested, did Casey tell you a big secret."

 

[pigletgirl]

Oh Baez.....

Sometimes I have to remind myself his indeed a fact a lawyer...

It just feels to me that there could of been a much better defense attorney. Baez to me just has this *ick* factor. He's a slime ball!

I don't think that Baez is actually allowed to manufacture a defense like this, do I think he and Casey privately came up with this... absolutely! I just don't know if all of the members of the defense would go along with this since they can be dis-barred for making it up. This was discussed on In Session.
