Casey Anthony TRIAL Thread #4

[MaryAnnDVC]

I want to be on the jury that sniffed the marijuana.

I'm having a really special vision of Cindy and Casey sharing a cell.

And I'm picturing a really good prison fight complete with shanking between the two of them!

 

[dnoyes]

I want a drinking game, every time someone in the courtroom drinks from a water bottle I have a beer

I'll play

 

[mrsksomeday]

I don't like the idea of opening the can, what if something happened to a seal or something and it doesn't smell anymore?? They have witness after witness stating it was decomposition. I would not risk this.

 

[Nik's Mom]

Two comments.
1. I love how judge said " do you want the jury to smell it." The way he said smell was funny.
2. Ashton has big hands.

Yea, how come the state didn't ask more about Cindy's medication and how it "helped" her memory. And why is she taking medication?

I in no way condone the fact that Cindy Anthony got up on the stand and lied, and I have no doubt that this kind of behavior made Casey the way she is, but let me just say that I would not want to walk in her shoes for one second. I mean can you just imagine the hell she is going through? As if it wasn't enouh to lose her granddaughter (which is a fact that cannot be changed) but now her daughter is on trial for the first degree murder of her granddaughter. She has to be terribly conflicted. Being a mother myself I know the kind of love a mother has for her child. There is no greater bond than that of a mother and a child (apparently, Casey is too coldhearted to have that bond with Caylee) and our first instinct is to protect our children under any circumstances, and if she thought she could help her daughter in any way, she would do it. I guess my question is how far would any of us go if we were in the same situation?

When she said nothing about doing the searches for chloroform back then? Hmmm ....

Can't Cindy just say she "thought" she did those searches at those times when she was supposed to be at work? If there were chloroform searches done at night, she could say that those were the ones she did and she was just mixed up.

I'm just tying to figure out how she could possibly get herself out of this mess that she created.

I'm in but I don't want beer. I'll take a lemon drop or mint mojito shot instead!

I totally agree....I think that is opening up a big can of worms that doesn't need to be opened. Unless the PT had another can and smelled it, I wouldn't want to ruin a slam dunk case. If it doesn't smell bad ICA would probably do a dance right there at the DT table.

I think the DT objected & it was sustained, IIRC. They were on cross examination & Defense hadn't brought that up.

Did Baez just say they would smell human decomposition? Little slip up there?

As much as I agree with you... how guilty do you think CA will be if her testimony gets stricken from the records due to her lying and ICA gets charged with murder. Was it worth it... she could have just made things worse for her daughter in trying to help her.

I don't care if she's conflicted. I don't care if she's struggling. I don't care if she's hurting.

None of her hurt or struggle compares to that of Caylee.

At some point, you have to draw a line in the sand and either stand on the side of right or wrong.

Cindy has made her choice, and she is wrong.

How far would I go? Not where Cindy has gone.

Nothing excuses Cindy's actions. You don't get to say, "I was just trying to save my murdering daughter because I didn't want her to die for killing the granddaughter I love." The granddaughter she claims she loved more than anything. Her actions don't show she loved Caylee at all.

I hope Cindy rots with her daughter.

 

[Nik's Mom]

They were cute

On that note I really wish Cindy would find an dress with sleeves

Cindy's dress today is ugly.

 

[Samba]

I think she can continue to say she lied on her timecard. That doesn't look good either or lend to her credibility on this search thing.

Ewwwww, I hope they do not sniff the cans!! If the can don't stink, she's outta the clink!

 

[bumcat]

I want to be on the jury that sniffed the marijuana.

 

[Dee77]

I totally forgot about the "smell in the can." I think the prosecution had several cans and one has been tested to still be effective even after three years.

The fact that Casey doesn't have that "no greater bond" as you describe negates your argument.

What kind of person testifies 'n perjures themself in a court of law about the murder of a child?

 

[CurlyGirl]

Can't Cindy just say she "thought" she did those searches at those times when she was supposed to be at work? If there were chloroform searches done at night, she could say that those were the ones she did and she was just mixed up.

I don't think she can. If she now went back on what she testified to, then it would be admitting that it was Casey who was doing the chloroform search and Cindy wants to protect Casey! Cindy already testified on the stand that she was the one who googled chloroform while at home even though her work records showed she was working.

So, if she changes her testimony, she'll get slammed for lying. If they bring in her records and show she was at work, she'll get slammed for lying. She stated, under oath, that she did it. I think she's in a no-win situation either way.
