Casey Anthony TRIAL Thread #4

[mellvswdw1]

If I were Cindy, I'd calmly walk out of the courtroom, out the front door of the building, grab a cab to the airport and get lost in Mexico somewhere.

I could tell the diffrence.
I drive past the city dump ever day on my way to work. In summertime it's RANK.
Many years ago had neighbors that let one of their cats die and didn't dispose of it.
The smells are not even close.

I think the jury should be allowed to smell the cans. Both sides have spent soo much time on it. And what's the difference in the jury using their eyes to look at evidence versus using their noses to smell the evidence??

I also stated that apparently Casey is too coldhearted to have that bond with Caylee. I'm not talking about that anyway. I'm talking about Cindy and Casey's bond. Obviously Cindy loves Casey very much and doesn't want to see her in the position she's in regardless of what happened. I would never want to see my child on trial with the death penalty as possible punishment. Would you?

Yeah, no parent would want to see their kid in that position. But you know Casey would throw Cindy under the bus if she had the chance to or if the shoe were on the other foot.

 

[Iheartdis]

She is taking anti depression and anxiety medications and I can understand why.



I completely agree with you.

Casey was an adult and made a conscience decision to do what she did. There are consequences for a persons actions.

Caylee was an innocent 2 year old. She had no chance, she didn't put duct tape in her mouth, bag herself up and hurl herself into trash dump site. Casey her Mom did that, the person that was supposed to love and protect her from harm.

Cindy should have wanted justice for CAYLEE. Caylee is the victim. Caylee just wanted to love and be loved. There is NO way I would lie for my son if he did this to my granddaughter.

Casey made a choice, now she needs to deal with the outcome.

But you don't really know what you would do because you've never been in that position. I'm just saying you can't really know unless you are living that hell.

Being a mother does not stop you from loving your child even for a child who has commited a crime. However you dont lie for them, otherwise your letting them know they can continue their habit of lying. You need to tell the truth regaurdless. It may make the child mad but you are the parent not their friend. I think Cindy loves her but she should have not lied and think that they would not check this? She may think like Casey they wont check and I will get away with it.

Slap me down if you must, but I don't blame Cindy. She became a desperate woman during this trial. It's CASEY I want to beat the crap out of. When she heard her mother testifying about the chloroform searches, Casey should have sttod up right in court and said "Mom I can't let you take the blame for me!! Stop speaking right now!!"

I wouldn't want my child to do something to put her in Casey's shoes. However, if my child did something so heinous there is no way I would impede law enforcement/lawyers/courts. I would tell the truth and hope for the best. I do believe the death penalty is applicable in some cases, so if my child was involved in that heinous of a crime, I would understand and accept whatever fate they were given, no matter how much it hurt me as a mother.... As a mother I have to understand there is a victim and that victim needs justice... in whatever form it comes. I would never lie for my children, they know it, I know it, they had better not do something so heinous that they would need such a thing, they'd have to look elsewhere for someone to lie. And for the record, I do love my children very much

True. The other day, we came into the house and it smelled so bad that we had to go outside. I know something was dead but what? DH found a dead baby rabbit in our crawlspace. Not sure how it got there because the door was closed but it was there and it was bad. For several days after it was removed, everytime the air conditioning came on, the odor was back. Even after he poured lime on the spot where it was, it took a few days for the odor to go away. I have never smelled human decomp, but I knew the moment that I came in the house, it was not my trashcan and something was dead.

I agree, I remember saying earlier in the other thread that i'm not entirely sure what i'd do if i were in this position with my daughter. Could i lie to save her life, hell yeah. But would i lie knowing she killed my grandaughter? I have no clue!

 

[wdwmom0f3]

That is one smell that I would not want to ever have to smell, if I was on the jury or not. I do think that there was enough evidence presented.
With or without it she is going down. The defense was so weak.

OK, so no one REALLY knows. But it comes down to this...people can lie all they want in a court of law. If they get caught, it's perjury and should be prosecuted. It shouldn't NOT be prosecuted because Grandma's trying to save her murderous daughter.

 

[Iheartdis]

No, I wouldn't, but the argument that there is no greater bond than that of a mother 'n child isn't valid, women kill their kids all the time.

Ok I guess I should've said there is no greater bond than that of a NORMAL (as in not a psychopath) mother and child. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I know my husband loves my kids with all his heart, but he could never understand the type of bond and love I have for my kids. It's just a different kind of love I guess.

Slap me down if you must, but I don't blame Cindy. She became a desperate woman during this trial. It's CASEY I want to beat the crap out of. When she heard her mother testifying about the chloroform searches, Casey should have sttod up right in court and said "Mom I can't let you take the blame for me!! Stop speaking right now!!"

Clearly, Casey Anthony is a psychopath. She would NEVER admit to guilt, nor would she allow herself to protect her mother from lying to protect her. Why? Because she's a murdering sociopath.

Instead, Cindy Anthony held the responsibility to tell the truth in order to bring about justice for Caylee. SHE should have been the one to ensure that Caylee didn't die in vain. She didn't do that.

I'm hoping Cindy's prosecution will teach her that her actions are no more deserving of being overlooked than she has made Casey's out to be. Essentially, her protection of Casey has done just that. She's sending a clear message that she doesn't think Casey should be punished for killing Caylee.

I don't feel bad for Cindy at all. I feel bad for Caylee.

My son has been in trouble with the law (drug charges). I did not bail him out, I didn't pay his fines, I did not do anything to condone the behavior. He has been told if he ever ends up in jail again, don't call me for bail because it won't happen. I will not enable him messing his life up. He made the choice to buy the drugs he had to pay the consequences.

If at any time I had to testify, I would put my hand on a bible and swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth I do just that.

Yes, but how do they know it's HUMAN decomposition and not an animal? I don't think there is any way the jury can identify the smell.

Come on ... Casey is the supreme narcissist and is blameless. She blamed George & Lee for sexually assaulting her. She blamed Zanny the Nanny who didn't exist. She blamed everyone and everything but herself.

It's all about her and what she can benefit from. She could benefit from Cindy's testimony about searching chloroform and let her mom fall on the sword for her. This is what a narcissist does. It's ALL about Casey and what is best for her. Casey would never speak out because what her mother said benefitted her.

 

[joviroxx]

Thats true. But when its right, there isn't anything stronger than I can think of.

But you don't really know what you would do because you've never been in that position. I'm just saying you can't really know unless you are living that hell.

No, I can't say for sure, but I can't see me laying to law enforcement and putting myself in that position. I think , that with heavy heavy heart, and with pain in my heart, I would tell the truth. And I certainly wouldn't allow for throwing other family members under the bus. Id pray for acquittal but Id accept guilty if she truly was guilty. I DO know however, that I would not blame law enforcemnt, prosecution or everyone else of my child's situation.

I do think she should be prosecuted for committing perjury. As I said in my OP, I do not condone her lying, and it is that type of behavior that made Casey the way she is.

 

[horseshowmom]

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?

I see what you're saying, but I just can't agree. While I would always love my daughter, under no circumstance would I have stood by (worse yet, aided) my daughter in, as everyone phrases it, throwing other family members under the bus. The main thing that I think Cindy has been guilty of is of spoiling Casey rotten (and I do mean rotten in this case). Now she's followed it up with perjury in yet another attempt to save Casey from facing her just consequences.

If I were Cindy, I'd calmly walk out of the courtroom, out the front door of the building, grab a cab to the airport and get lost in Mexico somewhere.
