Casey Anthony TRIAL THREAD #1

[joviroxx]

Kristina Chester. Neighbor and friend (from high school) of Caseys with 2 kids of her own. They would babysit each others kids, IIRC

If I am not mistaken I think that was the woman George had an affair with.

Sorry Maryann you this was not meant for you. I dont even know how that got there I clicked on the other persons question. That was weird and I take the fifth.

MaryAnnDVC, I'm glad I'm not the only Mom that has felt that way when their children were so young and helpless, it is amazing to me that hearing these calls brings the emotion back from when they were so very small and I was so afraid that something bad might happen to them. How can any new mother or mother of such a young child not lose her mind if her child is missing and she cannot find them? Liken it to losing your child in a theme park or a grocery store, most lose their minds with fear...

I was thinking maybe Casey never bonded with Caylee, never felt a mother's love. But even if it were my neighbor's child who was missing, I'd feel it hard, more than I think Casey's felling it with her own baby. I can't believe casey is just a selfish person; there has to be something mentally wrong with her.

What a morning in court. I'm emotionally spent after listening to all of that. Could you imagine this family going through all this? Unbelievable!

Have to go to the dentist at 1 for a crown molding. I wonder how long that takes? I need to get back here to see the cross examination.

I'll have to come back here to get fill ins. Please take good notes people. I need you!

Tell the dentist you need to watch as he works, it might remove some of the pain and distract you at the same time.

She said it was her current number as of today when asked "what was your cell phone number at that time", she said it was her current number even as of today and then gave the number.

We still talk about when we "misplaced" our son at night in EPCOT on our first trip when he was 4...he's 18 now. I was panicked, in the crowds. It was probably only a few minutes, but seemed like an eternity. And I thought HE must be panic stricken too, being lost. We found him sitting on a bench watching a show, the little snot. But it was awful. Even now, I worry. He's going to school in NY in September...all 3 of my kids will be out of the house and on their own, and I'm expecting a grandchild...one more kid to worry about. I don't think I'm a huge worrier, but every so often, a fear creeps in, for one reason or another.

 

[joviroxx]

Just not knowing where you child is for 1 minutes is terrifying. Yelling obscenities at my parents while wanting only to talk to my boyfriend would not be first on my mind. That single phone call is what convinced me that Casey was guilty. And I will never believe that that selfish,egocentric girl shut up and covered for her father for 3 years.. Sorry, no can do.

I keep thinking about Cindy. This poor woman will then have to sit through her daughter being found guilty. She will need years of therapy. I know I would.

I have a dentist appt in a couple of weeks. But I think I'm busy that day.

I was thinking maybe Casey never bonded with Caylee, never felt a mother's love.

This is what I think. I think Caylee was like a toy for her. And the one who gave her (Casey) attention.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

And let me just say...I could NEVER work as a 9-1-1 operator. It's usually not GOOD news.

funny - i have an id tag i put on dd when we go to wdw - it says


"my mummy is lost. Her name is Karen and her cell number is ......."

i never ever tell dd shes the one who's lost - i never wanted her to think it was her fault.

i don't see her when i turn around and my heart sinks. when she "hides" in clothing racks or sits without me seeing to hear a band or something my heart starts pounding.

even if casey didn't have anything to do with caylees death her actions are like someone just told her some stranger across the country was missing.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

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.

So very true.

They have a tv in their rooms, so maybe they can put it on. I'll ask. Since I have to sit there anyway and wait for the molding to dry.

I really wanted to reschedule, but I need to do these appointments before the kids are out of school in 2 weeks. Oh well, if there's something of importantance I'm sure you guys will note it.

OMG, what a morning, I feel so sorry for Cindy Anthony, for a moment I thought she wouldn't make it through the questioning.

when my dd5 was 2 my dh took our dogs to the backyard to potty, I went to the back porch to ask him a question (maybe 2 minutes) we walked back in and didnt see dd so we started to panic RIGHT AWAY!!! we live out in the country on a dirt road,not alot of traffic so instead of serching the house all the way I yelled at my dh to go outside and see if she walked out the door (we had those covers for the handle but I guess she figured them out)I started to sweat and cry and when he walked out to the road e saw her running down the road!!! (under 2 minutes) NAKED!!! lol she had learned how to remove her diaper and always did it lol it scared me to death!!! we didnt get alot of traffic thank god because no one would have seen her it happened THAT FAST! I put new handles on the doors right away,ones she could not open, but how can you not know where your child is for that long and not be CRAZY!? you cant....if I knew my dd was dead you would know it because I would have to be put in a nut house!!

I remember those days. I'm beginning to experience major empty nest syndrome, with my last going off to college soon. I miss those days of needing to be here for my kids. Oh boy...I think I'm going to cry! Draining morning.

I had planned on doing desk work today with streaming live court on in the background. Not happening. Today is a day you need to WATCH, just not listen to.

Can't get much done. I did get some stuff done in the kitchen though watch it on TV, but I hate all the commercials.

You guys just reminded me of the time that we "lost" DS for about a minute in the Dino Playground at Animal Kingdom. He told me he was going to go down the blue slide so I let him go up and I waited for him at the bottom of the slide. Well he never came down the slide. Apparently he changed his mind and when down a different slide on the way there and I didn't know that, so we never saw each other after that. I was FREAKING out as was my husband (who was with our daughter). DS actually found us, not the other way around. I just went and stood by the exit and DH went looking for him in the playground. Luckily DS saw me standing there and ran to me. It was the worst moment of my life and it only lasted a minute or two. It was totally my fault for trusting that he would go down the color slide he said he would but OMG I was just hysterical. This is the only time we've ever "lost" or not known where one of our children were and it was horrible, and it was only for a minute! I can't imagine how Casey could act like this if her child was missing!? Even if she had drowned, even worse!

BTDT, and these are the exception more than the norm. Yes, it's always a negative situation when you have to call, but not usually that emotionally charged. It's something that eats away at you slowly until you either quit or become hopelessly cynical. Cops we worked with would rather be on the street dealing w/the dregs than be on the phones; they didn't envy us our jobs, either.

I am glad for living on the west coast, I need to go to the bank but this will be over at 2 my time

I think we're all having flashbacks. Your story reminded me of when my kids were in that dinosaur play area at IOA, and we misplaced them. Ugh...it was awful.

That's like DS' first day of school: he was to walk to his babysitter's, but an aide put him on a bus. He was 5, so he did what the adult told him. Then, the bus driver, in what can only be described as a total lack of gray matter, put him off at an address that was no way close to ours w/no parent there. Total disregard for regulations there. Fortunately, the mother of another child saw him, knew he didn't belong there and he was able to remember my work number. She called me, I went to pick him up, and called my wife at the school (knew that's where she would be) and just told her to go home. He kept thinking he was in trouble because he spoke to a stranger, but I made it clear he did the right thing. That was an extremely quiet evening after he went to bed as the alternatives ran through our heads.
