Casey Anthony TRIAL THREAD #1

[MaryAnnDVC]

OK, looks like the State has backed off for now as it could give the defense a reason for appeal if convicted.

From what I understood (and that's a stretch) , if a defendant's statement comes in through hearsay, introduced by the defense (such as the statement that Casey said the father was Erik Baker when Baez asked Cindy), and it is presented as true, then the prosecution has a right to impeach this witness. This witness being Casey (as she is the one who claimed it). Since they could impeach, the State could then introduce evidence to show she is a liar, hence, the fraud charges for stealing money and checks.

Now, if the defense brought in that statement but does NOT say that is is true, but is just another example of a lie, then this does not apply.

SO, the state is backing off as apparently, no one is claiming that the statement that Baker is the father is true.

Was that clear? Cause I don't know if even I completely understood LOL!

Not quite mud, but not clean water either. LOL But you did well!

LMAO! My feeble attempt at legalspeak!

LOL No seriously, that was a good explanation. I'm just a little but I'm blaming it on my lack of coffee. Only a 1/3 of a cup so far. Need way more than that!

Amy up first.

Casey is not having fun watching her boyfriend flirt with her former friend.

You need to catch up on the coffee

Baez is trying to to make Amy look untrustworthy and an alcoholic.

Well, of course. Casey had imaginary friends and was a liar but its all the real people in her life that are untrustworthy, drunks and irresponsible.

 

[chris1gill]

They aren't?

No, the State can revisit it again if they choose... it appears they don't want to give Casey an excuse for a new trial based on this. The defense was warned, and now they're moving on (for now).... I assume if it happens again they'll bring it in....

Baez couldn't even show up for the meeting...

I'm trying I'm trying! I ran out of CoffeeMate so it's not easy.

Baez is a scumbag! "Are there any other former boyfriends of Casey's that you've gone out with?" Well geez, Casey dated half the state...it was bound to happen!

I am surprised that Baez didnt say that he'll be available in about 6 - 8 weeks

 

[joviroxx]

Baez to Amy: "Are there any other boyfriends of Casey's that you have gone out with or moved in with?"

OBJECTION

Lovely, Baez, lovely!

 

[diznygirl]

Lucky me - I'm home sick this morning. So I'm finally watching the trial coverage. Listening to Baez is just making me sicker! I think I'm going to have to stick to reading.

 

[Heidict]

Yeah, I don't think Amy is too happy to be there, let alone having her painted in the light that Baez is painting her in.

I hope the judge doesn't let her speak her mind up there. She should not be allowed to give a speech to try to salvage her reputation.

 

[zalansky]

Wow Amy was awful today. Looked like a fool. And she asks if she can say something??? Does anyone know what cruise line she works for?

Must have posted at the same time!

Amy knew Ricardo before Casey and was friends with him.. Baez also tried to imply something with Jesse Grund because they met up after this all blew up to talk about the goings on. Who is Baez playing to, the jury or the cameras?

Another lesson of the day: Careful what you text, you might just have to read them in public one day!!

Apparently the defense hit her with a subpoena to come back. Which means not only is she subject to recall by the prosecution, she has to come back for the defense. She lives out of the country and works on a cruise ship, I can't imagine what a hit her income is taking. Casey has to be the worst "friend" she ever had for financial reasons, alone.
I seriously think Casey is enjoying all the damage she is inflicting on people.

That little girl voice and the faces she makes really makes you question her....
Oh please don't make your statement Amy,,,,

And Baez too. The only way to make Casey look good it to make everyone else look bad.

Amy's in a sidebar! And ALL of the attorneys?! Wow...do witnesses EVER get to do that?

I think she works for NCL

I dont know if I agree that she looked like a fool.. Maybe its my dislike of Baez, but I thought she looked badgered and unfairly had her character attacked. Baez says it all goes to motive as if she had an ulterior motive for testifying. Ummm.. she got subpoenaed!

She was a young 20 yr old who was hard working , paid her bills, and liked to party. If only Casey was as responsible!

I stocked up on my French Vanilla for the week

She seems to have a submissive personality, perfect target for Casey.
