Casey Anthony TRIAL thread #2

[Disney1fan2002]

Casey may very well have seemed like a perfect mother to her friends. It is very easy to put on an act of being a doting mom for a few minutes.

Was I hearing things last night? I was watching the trial recap on Nacy Grace. Some expert was being questioned about the duct tape keeping Caylee's jaw intact. Baez was questioning him. The state objected to something and was sustained. Did I then hear an objection from the defense objecting the states objections? I could have been hearing things, i was half asleep, but what ever the oobjection was, the judge overruled it.

I had the same thing happen to me during the Nanny trial here in MA all those years ago.

This may be a debate, but I truly felt that the defense proved that anyone could have shaken that baby at anytime for him to suffer the injuries he had. I think the defense proved that the mom was overwhelmed with the children when the Nanny would go out, and she was frustrated by it. I felt by the end of the trial, there was just a good a chance that the mom shook the baby. When the verdict came back guilty, I was in SHOCK! I did not feel the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she did it.

My reaction to the outcome of that trial was incredible. I was surely expecting a definite outcome of not guilty. I hope it is not the same this time around. Although, I know much more than the jury knows, from following the case all these years, I hope they pay attention to everything the State is telling them.

I agree with you about the Nanny trial. And even the mention of that trial gives me a stomach ache...my oldest DD is a nanny in Boston now. It's a tough position to be in, caring for other people's kids, day in and day out.

Oh I remember all of us in the office, standing around one of those little tiny portable hand held tv's watching the verdict being announced! This is going to be the same, isn't it? UGH!



Does anyone else see it odd that this evidence was allowed in? It's kind of speculative, isn't it? You know Im completely certain that a lot of this evidence would have been excluded with a more experienced competent attorney.

It was my first breaking news moment. I was in journalism school (for radio/tv production though) and the timing was perfect and we all listened just outside the radio studio as we broadcast it live and then the news director then came on to do his news broadcast.

I thought it was sooooo cool. Except the verdict. Once we were done and returned to regular programming, we thought it was an odd verdict.

IIRC, when the jury came out--after the fact and had seen/heard of other things that were not allowed at trial, but were part of the case for the state--they said they would have reached a different conclusion. I don't recall specifically what it was that would have changed their mind as I don't know what evidence was inadmissable. I think it just goes to the wonderful job that Johny Cochran did in defending his client and keeping the burden squarely on the state and having OJ try on that glove. (even if it turns out OJ didn't take his meds that day so that his hands would have edema, rendering his hand too large for the glove.)

I think I missed something here. What is the point to the hair thing?

 

[Samba]

In spite of HoseA, i am hoping JBP would not let in evidence that was inappropriate. It is my understanding that he has a good record of his cases holding up to challenge.

Oh so painful to watch HoseA attempt to formulate questions!

Not sure what is going on or of what hair you speak, but there was a strand of hair found in the trunk of Casey's car that had a death band on it...this occurs post mortem.

The hair belongs to someone in the Anthony household and since Casey and Cindy are alive, then the conclusion is that it had to have belonged to Caylee.

Not sure if this answers your question as I am not sure the point of reference.

it drives me nuts when he starts a questions stops then says "ok well let me ask this"

Hope so too.

"Aaaannnnnnddddd." Geez, I want to smack the back of his head.

How are both of you? Did you go to the doctor? If so how are things?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

From one of Casey's jailhouse letters to her buddy Robyn: "Two years in a row I've missed out on green beer, so add that to the list." See? This is what happens when you kill your child!

And she and Robyn were going to start an RV ministry when they got out, because you know, Casey is very religious.

we're ok - i've been feeling her kicking around in there all weekend

my appointment is at 1 so we'll be leaving around 11.30. my aunt (a retired dr from england) is coming with me today because Patrick went back to work today. so she'll understand everything he's saying and can explain it to everyone. honestly i'm been getting tired of all the phone calls, my parents, dh's mom, my aunts, my brothers agrrrr - just want to confrence call everyone and say it once. or record it and just hit play


i'm hopeful the tubes are doing their job and by now the area will be fluid free. i'm also hoping the hydrops will have lessoned and she isn't as puffy.

i know she still has to stay in for at least 4 weeks but boy do i want her out so i can know for sure she's ok. kwim.

 

[PUZZLDY5]

If it's a hair with a root can they DNA it to the bone they found in the woods to see if it does belong to Caylee or DNA it to the other members of the house. Maybe I'm grasping at straws here.

 

[Samba]

The hair evidence is building additional evidence to the propsal that Caylee"s dead body was in the trunk at one point.

HoseA should research hair exposed to garbage in his next career!

I absolutely understand. Even without the issues you're having, by the end of the pregnancy, it gets a little frustrating to have people breathing down your neck, even tho out of love.

Having a doctor with you is wonderful! How many times have I left an appt (after saying "No, I don't have anymore questions") and thoughts and questions start coming into my head on the drive home. It's always good to have someone else with you, but a doctor is a bonus!

And altho going full term is the best case scenario, 4 weeks is a comfortable enough time that if they had to take her now, things should be good.

Thinking of you today!

Casey lied about so much that now be proven to be false in the letters. This doesn 't lend much credence to her newly discovered memories of abuse! If she had kept everything else truthful it might look like the correspondences were moments of lucidity and truth telling. But, alas more lies upon lies and little credibillity.

OK...just saw your signature, and you're due in about 6 weeks? And you're saying 4 weeks brings you to the "full term" status. OK. Well, I pray all works out well for you!

Now it is my turn to be lost. Are letters being entered into evidence? What is the contradiction this time?
