Casey Anthony TRIAL thread #2

[Kurby]

i live in canada - so we don't get americal news (except buffalo). anything we get must make it's way to the national news and they are the ones who deem it news worthy or worth reapeating over and over.

i never heard of websluths before and still haven't gone onto that site.

it's basically up to the media as to what gets coverage and what doesn't - who there makes the decisions? i guess a group of people who think this case over that case will get more ratings.

it's always about money for them - what they can charge for commercials during this trial over that trial.

Checking in!

I don't know if this was discussed, but here goes:

My Mom just asked me about something Jane Cesarez (sp?) mentioned on tv I think yesterday. She said Baez was making googley eyes/flirting with someone up in the balcony during the day yesterday. Anyone know what that is about?

Geraldo?

 

[usnuzuloose]

I should have clarified that it came from the fake Judge Perry. I don't know who it really is but they're pretty funny.

Hmmmm...imaginary wonder if Baez would buy that

I guess I was looking for how people got hooked on this case over other cases. People say it is because of all the wierd things Casey did, but I wondered how they knew about all those things unless they were hearing it on a network program or reading it on a site like Websleuths. Being local, I heard it every day, but I can't imagine that was the case in locations outside of Florida.

For me, it is just a curiosity thing. I was just trying to understand the initial draw to this case for so many over other cases.

In the end, I believe the media is the reason for this phenomana. I have the best answer I think I will get on this one. Thanks to all who answered.

Truthfully I can not remember where I heard about the case initially, but what drew me was the fact of the 31 days and not reporting her child missing. There are so many cases that do not get media coverage, maybe if more were maybe they could be solved so much sooner.

No, but sure sounds like Baez. I don't know if I have anything recorded that might have it. I record a bunch of shows each day, and often don't watch any of them, and then delete them daily, or I could be parking my *** on this couch 24/7.

Wow, this guy gathered the air samples. I heard the prosecution wants the jury to smell the decomposition from a can.

I wonder if anyone will throw up. My concern with them opening up a can is that it could be an OJ/glove moment. The prosecutors can't preview the smell (I don't think) because opening it prior to "the big smell test" will diminish the smell. So if they have a big dramatic "smell the smell" moment, and there's no, or very little, smell...then what? Reminds me of the old Discovery Toys game "Follow Your Nose" where there were little containers with smells and you had to guess what they were. Eventually, the smells disappear. But then again, I'm hoping these crime scene investigators are going on a little more than Discovery Toys did.

Yes, it was national. I'm in RI. The initial draw for the media and public was the bizarre nature from day one...911 call, 31 days, detached appearing mother, imaginary nanny, etc.

i wonder.......

how many of us could pass the bar after this case LOL

I've been a SAHM for most of the last 23 years. Youngest is 18; I told DH I'm going to get a job as a LAWYER after this! LOL

 

[pigletgirl]

I actually first heard of it, on our news back in July of 2008. I have no clue how our newstation picked up on the story, but they did. Then, I remember getting sick and somehow watching Nancy Grace, and she had to story too...

From there, I've kept up with it, until now!

 

[Promomx2]

I got hooked because of baby Caylee and that we just happened to be at WDW and in Maderia Beach during part of this time. Question: We're Caylee's remains found in a duffle bag or loose? I've heard both.

 

[usnuzuloose]

I wonder if there have been other experiments of that smell that was put in a can and then later on if it was opened.

 

[Belle0101]

I cn't take credit for finding the "Judge Perry" Tweets. A poster on the other thread started posting them and then I started following him. If I could remember that poster's name I'd give them proper credit.

If he posts more I'll post them.

 

[irishbosoxfan]

Baez actually asking some good questions in his attempt to discredit the air samples

 

[EMom]

Yes I read that I probably just missed that it took hime 8 years. I dont think he should have ever been an attorney. He does not know how to conduct himself in or out of the courtroom.

Geez, it only takes THREE years to complete law school. So Baez could have gone to law school nearly three times over during the 8 years it took him to pass the bar exam. Come to think of it, he should have repeated law school. Seriously, if it takes you eight years to pass the bar exam, just take a hint and give the hell up.

It took my SisIL 9 years to become an RN and failed her licensing exam 4 TIMES! I wouldn't let her come near me for anything medical with a 10-foot pole!

I wonder how many objections he gave during school?

We checked in at SSR the day they found her body (Dec 11 I think?) and that's all they talked about on the news for the ten days we were there.

We have followed the case ever since. We live in Boise Id. btw

I don't think it took him 8 years to pass the bar...he has some other issues. From the article linked in the first post:

For eight years after he graduated from law school, however, the board that screens prospective attorneys in Florida would not let him practice law. The Florida Supreme Court agreed with the decision, issuing an order in 2000 that cataloged unpaid bills, extravagant spending and other "financial irresponsibility" up to that time. Justices reserved their strongest condemnation for his failure to stay current on support payments for his only child.

His overall behavior, they wrote, showed "a total lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law."

He worked instead as a paralegal for the Miami-Dade public defender and then taught Internet research to lawyers and started four business ventures, including two bikini companies. Before Florida Bar officials admitted him in 2005, he had to demonstrate that he had rehabilitated himself.

 

[sorcerormickey]

Lee asked for permission to be in the courtroom even though he is a witness. Has anyone actually seen him there other than the day he testified? I haven't - just wondering.

Please tell me she's not in RI!

What if they get a juror with a lousy sense of smell? I can smell things long before anyone else will, but DD could have skunk right under her nose and barely notice it. When she finally does smell some godawful smell, half the time she perceives it as a "nice" smell. She would be a nightmare if the state tried "stink in a can."

ya but does that mean he took it once a year for 8 years or 2 or 3 times?

jfk jr took it something like 3 or 4 times in 2 years and finally passed -

what if he was busy selling bikini's and didn't have time to keep taking it
