I have to say.. after 4 of these threads, I feel like I am still missing huge parts of this case!
I am gonna try to sum up what I've learned/remembered. Can someone tell me if I left anything out or if this isn't really accurate?
Defense:
You see, what had happened was....
Caylee uh, drowned by accident in the pool and uh, it wasn't reported.
Judge:
.. Is that all?
Defense: Oh. Yeah. And Casey was sexually molested by her brother and dad. Thank you.
Judge:
You're gonna prove this right.
Defense: sure.
A short time later
Judge:
Ok. Time for proof. Ante up.
Defense: Well, about that Proof. .. this is an honor system, right? I tell you its there, but I don't have to show it to you if I don't wanna?
Judge: ha ha! Good one. Now seriously, let's see it.
Defense: See..now, the thing about this is, I understood this was more of a guideline rather than a rule.. and I don't have to have it, which is a good thing, cause I don't. *cough*
*steam coming out nose and ears of judge*
Lots of forensic experts for the state say that there was a dead body in the trunk. Defense expert says there is no proof of that what so ever.
Defense Atty Mason in a moment of clarity and a late night re-run of office space decides to try to get himself thrown off the case:
Defense: So um, about Casey being arrested... what was she arrested for? Wait, crap! I didn't mean it.. .. *pause waiting for state to pick up on a clue*
State: Ah ha! She was arrested for CC fraud that we are now allowed to bring up.
Defense atty Mason: Um, that was totally not on purpose. So.. Can I go now?
Judge: Nope. Sit down.
Mason is still apart of the Team, but as such, doesn't have to talk anymore. Whoopie!
Defense: So basically whats gonna happen here is Cindy is going to go on the stand and lie about the internet searches, then we're gonna question Lee to try to get him to lie for Casey. Everyone good with that? Good. And then we're gonna question George, only George isn't gonna tell us anything and he isn't going to confess to having an affair... which I am not certain how that would tie into anything, but I thought I'd bring it up.
Judge: ... Anything else?
Defense: Oh yeah. And we're gonna need to try to get Casey outta this cause she doesn't wan.. uh, she's not competent to stand trial. Is that good with you?
Judge: ... No.
Defense: Yeah, didn't think so.
Hows that?
