Casey Anthony TRIAL thread #2

[joviroxx]

OH yeah, more Dr Vass!! He looks kind of tired and like he wants to be anywhere but there..

Lisa loves Pooh, I also heard the part on Dr. Drew where it was discussed about anxiety or lack of it and how it relates to Casey, I was so interested in hearing this that I recorded a later airing of his show and the following is exactly what Dr. Bethany Marshall said:

"When you really understand the nature of Casey Anthony's disorder, what you have to keep in mind is narcissism, borderline and anti-social personality disorder. With borderline, remember there is a sensitivity to abandonment, so she would throw her child under the bus in order to frantically reunite with her boyfriends. With narcissism, there's lack of empathy and playing by ones own rules instead of the rules of society. But with anti-social there is severe lack of anxiety."

Dr Drew and his other guest then discussed how difficult is for them to believe that she is a monster or believe what happened.

Dr Bethany Marshall continued:
"The thing with anti-social is there's severe lack of anxiety and stress, that's why she looks so calm in court. Anxiety is what causes the conscience to form. When we are little kids, we get in trouble, our mothers get mad at us, we're like "oh no she's going to withdraw her love," we get anxious and we conform, so that anxiety is crucial to the formation of a conscience. Some researchers have suggested that people with anti-social personality disorder do not have anxiety and because of that they have no conscience. Now the two of you are horrified because you are both Dads, you should feel horrified. That's why we are all watching this case, we know what it's like to be a child, many people know what it's like to be a mother, and the idea that that bond can be disrupted is a very difficult thing for us to wrap our minds around."

When said like this in plain English, I agree 100% with Dr. Marshall.

yes he does look tired. Baez can't ask any other questions, cause he can't think of any that won't convict his client any further.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Why does Baez ask the same questions over and over. Make your point and continue sir!

Because he's like Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde"..."so you were IN the shower when your father was murdered?" "so when your father was murdered, you were IN the shower?"

Thanks!

If anyone is interested. These two blog articles give a pretty interesting analysis of the computer searches and evidence found...

VERY interesting. Thanks! Please don't go on vacation.

That little "incident" brought to light this morning...misidentifying the can...is unfortunate. But I don't see it dismissing everything Vass testified about yesterday...at least I hope not.

Ew. That's distubing. Do they know what killed him..natural death, murder? Wonder how long he was dead that the odor had gotten that bad, yet no one was looking for him?

Yikes! Sorry to hear about your neighbor. So now that you're officially in the "decomposing body" club, is what they say true? Is it really like nothing else you've ever smelled before? Even working in the medical field, I don't think I've ever smelled a decomposing human body, but I can imagine it's unlike anything else.

I'm not sure what to say about that. I know it would make me feel very uneasy.

It seems as though he died of natural causes. He was retired and sort of a loner that never really left the house. They think he may have a sister in FL that they are trying to locate. It's very sad and disturbing. I had a hard time sleeping there last night. I now have to vacate for 3 days as there is a professional company coming in to pretty much gut the whole place to decontaminate it.

So I would have to say yes, it is certainly a smell that I had never smelled before and that I will never forget. Thanks for letting me vent here last night. I really feel bad about not calling the landlord. I know there was nothing that could be done to save him but I feel awful that he was there just waiting for someone to find him.

My boss called me not long after I found out yesterday and I was still freaked out. He let me tell him the story and then jokingly told me not to talk about it again. Then a few hours later he called me and said he's been following the Casey Anthony trial and had to ask me a few questions.

Did anyone know the FBI also looked for chloroform and found it? I thought the whole reason to keep Vass off the stand was so that the jury didn't hear about chloroform? Did they also try to keep the FBI Chemist off?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

"Rest dues of core form"...how the closed caption interpreted "Residues of chloroform." Entertaining. (I listen on my laptop, but have the TV on to watch commentators during sidebars. It's a science. )

Wondering the same thing......

 

[usnuzuloose]

I hope Baez doesnt question him over and over about his position and what kind of money he stands to make off of it.

That has to be a bit unnerving. I remember my parents saying it was a smell like no other. Seems to be what everyone says.

Poor man.

I think you and your boss should just watch the trial together.

I'm sure the defense wants to keep everyone off the stand. Love the shots of Baez listening to testimony and looking PO'd.

STOP!! He isn't making money here, come on now... only Bozo can make money here...

JB really trying to use Mr.Classic FBI guy to get at Dr. Vass testimony.

 

[chris1gill]

Oh my, this is a prosecution witness and the prosecution is killing him... No experience with doing this particular task, no reference in amount of chloroform... And the container was not air tight...

 

[Conservative Hippie]

I think I see where he is trying to go with this, though. Container was not air tight and yet still there was chloroform present, etc.

I'd be crying if I were the witness

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Ugh. This testimony is giving me anxiety attacks. I think Baez might be winning this one.

 

[Samba]

Well, that was hard to watch!

Who's up next?

Oh good K9 handler.

 

[joviroxx]

Ok, business called and had to take a call from our insurance company. Ive missed most of this, going to have to watch it on the replay later tonight.
