Casey Anthony Trial Thread #3

[CurlyGirl]

That whole family is whack-a-doodle. A week ago, I would have said people were crazy if they thought Lee Anthony was Caylee's dad. Well...after today's nauseating testimony...I'm not quite sure.

Casey...Lee...CayLEE...coincidence? I think not...

They did a paternity test and Lee is not the baby daddy.

ETA - she could've used Lee in Caylee as a nod to her brother as they were very close. My friend's baby's name is Brianne. Her brother's name is Brian and they are very close ... but not in *that* way. She wanted her DD to have part of his name. Her brother isn't her baby's daddy.

I don't know what to think. I'm usually extremely cynical and am certainly not a trusting person. However, I just wonder if the tears are because of the extreme stress and tragedy over the last three years. Maybe, just maybe, Casey and Lee were very close siblings (no molestation) and now the great weight of this tragedy is finally coming home to both of them. Maybe this is that moment that brother and sister who are so close realize how truly, truly horrible this is. On the other hand, maybe Lee couldn't bring himself to lie on the stand to save her. I don't know. It's just one more day in the twisted lives of the Anthonys.

I tend to agree....I REALLY don't get the inappropriate relationship vibes from them. Of course I could totally be wrong and I do understand why people feel that way- I just don't get that vibe...

I knew Lee would say that he was angry with Cindy. I would be too. He needs therapy after living with that nutmom.

They're finally showing what was said when Lee started crying and InSession forgot to stop talking and air it. He did say Im sorry (for crying) and he was mad at his mother and sister for not including him and he felt left out.

I also think that JB was expecting Lee to "lie" more than he did. I think that is why he apologized to Casey. I am even wondering if the defense planned the lack of witnesses earlier in the week because the anthony's came to them over the weekend and they all decided to cook up this testimony. It would have given them a day to get their testimony straight.

 

[CurlyGirl]

I bet that Lee knows there's nothing he can do to "save" Casey and that's why he's so upset. As much as he might like to save her, he either has nothing of benefit to say to help her or refuses to lie.

CA is beginning to give me the creepy-creeps too. I can see that HoseA has some evidence of dysfunction in the household. How well he can bring that to light, I don't know.

 

[Heidict]

so Ashton is objecting. Does that mean he will cross Lee?

I believe that is the way it works. Who ever does the objections is the one to cross.

Ut oh, Ashton is getting into a little trouble from Perry...

Ashton is getting on my nerves today with the constant objections.

I feel sorry for Lee. I can't imagine living in a household where your own sisters pregnancy is such a guarded secret. Almost like they don't trust him enough. I don't blame him for being hurt when Caylee was born.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Ok Gang, I have to say that entire "thing" between ICA & Lee gave me the whillys.

 

[Samba]

I don't know, of course, but I am not inclined to think there was an intimate relationship. Siblings in sick families are often close. Your sibling is the only one who understands the craziness you live in.

None of this makes me less inclined to believe in KCs guilt though.

I agree the fact that they didn't bother to know who the childs father was gave me the impression that they didn't want to admit the truth....that family has a secret.

I agree the fact that they didn't bother to know who the childs father was gave me the impression that they didn't want to admit the truth....that family has a secret.

I see it more as a means for Casey to be the pita she is by keepin' that info to herself, possibly because she doesn't really know 'n if she does, she's gonna have some "power" in knowledge that her parents aren't privvy to.

Dysfunction runs in my family as do secrets; I can understand why Lee would feel "left out."

This may sound ridiculous that I still remember it with a certain amount of bitterness, but I was 11 when my sister got married (she was 19 and NOT pregnant)...I adored her husband, and was in the wedding...it was a huge event for me. They never made it to their first anniversary. My last day of school (6th grade), I came home all cheerful (last day of school!) and my mother said (somewhat angrily) to me "I might as well tell you because you're going to hear about it anyway, but your sister is getting a divorce." Besides being devastated about the divorce, I thought "why aren't they telling me because I'm part of this family?" KWIM? And there were many times over the years I was furious about secrets, like my father being hospitalized for something, or whatever...I'd be blindsided at some later point that xyz had happened. And because of that, I try never to do that with my kids. When my sister got divorced the 2nd time, I had kids, and I told them. My mother was so PO'd. What was I supposed to do...pretend Uncle A was working every holiday or other family event? Geez.

I don't know what to think. I'm usually extremely cynical and am certainly not a trusting person. However, I just wonder if the tears are because of the extreme stress and tragedy over the last three years. Maybe, just maybe, Casey and Lee were very close siblings (no molestation) and now the great weight of this tragedy is finally coming home to both of them.

I don't know. It's just one more day in the twisted lives of the Anthonys.

I agree. This is "it" now...the point where a decision is going to be made, by a jury, about the fate of Lee's sister. My DS would be devastated, and a basketcase on the stand, as would DD seeing how hurt he was because of what she did.

I agree the fact that they didn't bother to know who the childs father was gave me the impression that they didn't want to admit the truth....that family has a secret.

I wonder if they're just not saying that they DID ask Casey and she wasn't sure, and that's something they were trying to keep secret...how "sexually active" (a slut) she was.

I see it more as a means for Casey to be the pita she is by keepin' that info to herself, possibly because she doesn't really know 'n if she does, she's gonna have some "power" in knowledge that her parents aren't privvy to.

This too. Or maybe her parents threatened to go after the father for support, and Casey wouldn't give the name(s).

 

[Kurby]

Well, that stinks, but all for your and Nicole's health. Has to be tough on your 5 yr old! (Is that how old she is? Forgot to take my memory pill today. )

you need to take one of those "Cindy" pills - i hear they do wonders for your ahhhh hummmm memory

 

[Uncle Remus]

This too. Or maybe her parents threatened to go after the father for support, and Casey wouldn't give the name(s).

I can understand the Anthony's throwin' up their hands 'n givin' up tryin' to find out who Caylee's father was, but to now suggest that Caylee could have gotten into the pool 'n drowned is just tooooo much.

Save us some please?

I remember a few weeks back CA saying how Casey came to her work in late June and told her she was pregnant. CA said they called family the next day to tell and had shower and set up nursery within 2 weeks.
I am not sure I believe Lee that he did not know this until 4 days before she was born.
How could he have missed the nursery and preparations? If they told family, how could he have not heard from them or someone else?

The case is becoming a question of who can you believe?
