Anyone else watching the Casey Anthony trial?
 

I think the baby accidently drowned and Casey and her Father covered it up. I haven't seen what I consider any hard evidence that she murdered the kid. It all seems circumstantial

We aren't be bombarded by the coverage, as I'm sure you are...being in Florida and all.

Why would her ex cop father want to hide the fact the baby accidentally drowned?

Why would they hide the body in the trunk of the car for a few days?

No Matter what really happened, just the fact that the Casey Anthony has been so deceptive as to the demise of her daughter and the extensive man hours and money it has cost, I believe she should get 30 years in jail to think about what she's done :)

i'd hit it, I think she's hot as fuck.

If your kid accidently drowned it is very likely you would get charged with child neglect and a few more charges. In my opinion the state has not shown evidence the body was ever in the trunk. She lived with her Father and the child drowned in the Fathers pool, likely he would be charged also. What if he was the only person home when she drowned?

I live just a few miles from the Anthony home. Sadly here in central FL several children accidentally drown every year. Just a few weeks ago a family from Tenn was visiting friends here and their child drown in the hosts pool. Tourist come to Disney and their children drown in the hotel pools. Its such a preventable death and yet it happens over and over.

I can't remember a time when it was reported that charges were filed or when the family tried to hide the fact the child accidentally drowned. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened. It just rarely happens.

I don't know what the exact laws are regarding pools but there are ones like they must be surrounded by a certain height fence with a locked gate. If a homeowner has complied with all the rules and the child has still managed to drown its unlikely neglect charges would be filed which is what happens the overwhelming majority of the time.

As for the body in the trunk the state provided....

The hair sample with the band which comes from a decomposing body.

I believe it was stated there were the flies associated with a decomposing body.

It was stated by several people that smelled the trunk and had previously smelled human decomposition that it was the same smell which is unique and unforgettable.

Then there is the air samples that were tested. Even though they were controversial they were admitted and allowed as evidence. Those samples say that a decomposing body was in the trunk.

Now if the defense wants to say that the child accidentally drowned they need to show how the body made it to the woods. They are going to try and pin something on the meter reader. I'd like to know every step after the child's body was removed from the pool and it needs to be a better explanation with evidence than what the prosecutors have provided with the trunk.

Yes, I listen to the Live Stream while working.

Looking forward to Casey's testimony.

The Prosecutor has a chip on his shoulder (clearly) and Beaz is playing his cards right, his opening statement was pretty riveting.

Also, George trying to commit suicide earlier, (could be) a huge red flag, that he had something to do with this. He was an ex cop, just doesn't all make sense.

I thought they found a single hair? And wouldn't a hair that is not attatched to a body decompose on it's own? There does indeed seem to be a lot of circumstantial evidence that the body was in the trunk, but what about hard evidence that she killed the child?

That makes no sense at all. Why would her father - a former police officer - cover up an accident?

This woman killed her kid, and then acted like nothing was wrong. She is so guilty it's not funny.

Orlando's newest tourist attraction is the Casey Anthony trial.

I doubt Casey will testify. Unless they have a bombshell it would be best for her not to take the stand. Prosecuter would tear her apart.

lol, are ya serious.

Agreed, it has to be proven though, beyond a reasonable doubt.

So far, I don't think they'd tear her apart.

If she sticks to her story, (although another lie) who knows what the jury will think.

There are a few jury members who, the prosecutor did not want on, you never know with a jury.

If her accusation that her father molested her for years is true, her acting like nothing happened after the baby drowned would be consistent of someone deeply disturbed and accustomed to acting like very bad things didn't happen. This would be her way of coping. Hey I'm not defending the bitch. just stating what I think happened.

She won't take the stand man, no fucking way.

good point, and her knowing that shit is going to hit the fan soon (when her Mom finds out), she said 'F^&* It!' and stole some money, partied and made up the Zenaida story as time went on.

Sad, Caylee was a sweet little girl, looked just like her Grandma. rip :(

I don't. :pimp

I've only seen a little of it, but I think she totally killed her daughter. If she drowned accidentally then whats with the tape on the mouth of the baby. Also you would be destroyed personally, she was out partying and having a good time. Fry that girl on the chair.

That would be one explanation as to why SHE covered it up.

That doesn't explain why HE would cover it up.

Even if she was trying to cover it up, she could've, should've come clean about the time she
dragged the investigators all around Universal trying to show them where she didn't really work :winkwink:

I hate her for dragging this out for over three years after that.

How fucked up would you have to be to find your granddaughter floating in your pool and not instantly call 911? Doesn't add up at all.

You see your flesh and blood lying there not breathing and instead of trying to revive her and call for an ambulance you instantly start thinking, "Oh shit, I am in trouble. How do we cover this up?"

Plus she was googling how to break a neck?

They are trying to railroad the dad. What a horrible thing to do. Lawyers make me sick.

The trial is just a sensational soap opera.

I miss the CNN news reporting.

she killed the kid.

They are also trying to railroad the meter reader that called in the location of the remains. Turned his life upside down and drug him through the mud all in an attempt to create reasonable doubt regardless of his actual involvement.

Add to that all the people that searched for the missing child, donated time and money and walked the swamps in the hot florida summer sun all while Casey and as the defense contends her father knew what had happened and where the body was.

The scope of deception deserves 30 years in jail which would be fitting for a Mom that wanted her freedom so bad she would kill her child.

She is going to fry like bacon

If HE was the one watching the kid when she accidently drowned then there's his motivation, and why did he attempt to kill himself?
If I was watching my grandchild and she accidently drowned due to me not watching her properly, suicide would be my first thought, yeah.

Yeah there are lots of child drownings in Florida, I have a pool and two granddaughters. If any one of them accidently drowned I should be charged with child abuse, neglect, involuntary manslaughter and whatever else the state could throw at me.

I stream it all day too.

People go to jail for first degree murder based on circumstantial evidence all the time. Take Scott Peterson for example. I think there are many parallels to that case.

In both cases the body had rotted past the point of being able to determine cause of death, just means (homicide), no proof to show how the victim was killed, and neither case had a smoking gun piece of evidence that stood on it's own. It was the accumulation of the circumstantial evidence that shows there is no other reasonable conclusion.

The DA has said in court they have computer evidence taken of the anthony family home PC that they claim blows the defense's George found the body and timeline that they plan to present at rebuttal after the defense rests. George did go to work that day. Once you eliminate George as being present the defense falls apart.

Additionally the defense has informed the judge that they will be changing their defense strategy / version of events. They gave the judge 3 case examples where defense has done so.

I think they will back off the sexual abuse, after all they didn't mention it what so ever with Lee Anthony on the stand. I suspect they struck a deal with the family to take that subject off the table in exchange for them to fall on their swords, so to speak, and testify in ways that will assist in Casey's defense.

I feel there is still more to see from the DA and I think in the end they will find her guilty, but will give life not death. Just my 2 cents.

If HE was watching and responsible for the child when she drowned, why would Casey go along with the deception especially when considering her relationship with her parents.

The state contends the father abused her. Why continue to protect him when he is responsible for her child's death?

As for the father's suicide thoughts ( he went to a hotel and wrote a note but didn't take further action )

I don't remember if that happened before or after the body was found but.....

He lost his granddaughter. His daughter is in jail charged with murder. He had people camped outside his house yelling all kinds of stuff. The media circus followed him everywhere along with all kinds of accusations. His life was turned upside down, his life has changed forever and it will never be like it once was. The hope he had that it would had reached a point so low he was ready to give up on life. Everyone has a breaking point and just what I've described above is more than enough for him to reach his. The accusations by the defense wasn't necessary for him to consider suicide. They just want the jury to think that.

You might as well add a spoiler tag to this because you nailed it :thumbsup

Thanks man :thumbsup

We should organize a pool on the outcome.

Will we have to cover up who loses in the pool :winkwink:

Involuntary manslaughter will be outcome

The accusations aren't true at all. They are doing what the defense team has to do - push blame on everyone else except for her. They are trying to put the blame on everyone, including the unlucky guy who found the body. That's just sad.

As for the entire insanity thing.... Bullshit. If your "insane" when you committed a crime, you should be sent to prison for the rest of your life based on that fact alone. If you are insane to the point where you do not understand right from wrong, you should go to prison for life.

I have watched it/watching it and the State has attempted to use circumstantial evidence to convict her of premeditated murder. The forensic science the State has used is weak at its best...and in my opinion has not proved that the little girl was even murdered. Thus I am of the opinion that she certainly will not be convicted of 1st degree murder but the jury will convict her of a lesser charge.

Most of the talking head attorney's have stated that no matter what she is convicted of that it will be overturned on appeal primarily because of the Judge making errors.

My thoughts exactly

casey is on all day in the islands too, cnn/hln are the only english channels here. it is only interrupted by the weather report, then back to the trial. she will walk unless she decides to talk on the stand

That's what I was thinking.

Krunk (Meter Reader) goes on tomorrow, he better come across as trust worthy, or it could be bad.

It has been said that Casey Anthony was giving Caylee Xanax before she went out at night to make the kid pass out so she wouldn't need a babysitter. She was using the "Nanny Zanny" as an inside joke with her boyfriend, indicating she doped the kid before she went clubbing. It wouldn't be tough to accidentally overdose the kid, or even impair her to where she fell in the pool when she was on Xanax.

The theory for that is she/they panicked after Caylee drowned/overdosed on Xanax/etc. and put the tape over her mouth and dumped the body to cover it up and make it appear that she was abducted and killed. A strange theory but not out of the question...

Ok, I can see that being a theory. thanks ....
