Supposedly the link between bamboo and chloroform is ...ok hang in there with me. Her dog got a bit sick. So she thought he was eating some bamboo leaves and they were red and brown, and that could mean chorophyll and then that could lead to chloroform. I dunno.

The prosecutor asked her if her if her medications were helping her...lmao

Ok.....tell me this...Cindy keeps talking about all this vacation time she has. She says she just started at this job of hers in 2008 in Jan 2008. She says she had 6 weeks of vacation time. She talks about it in June. Then she also talks about it in relation to this March date too. What big holidays are there in March? St Patricks day?

She said there are some BIG holidays in March. Now the only one I know of is my mom and dads birthdays...lol.

You know, I think most jurors who are parents can understand to a certain extent, what desparation a parent of Casey must be feeling. I can only imagine how horrible it would be to be in the predicament of Cindy. Not that I think she should have done this, but I can see entertaining the thought. We're talking about their daughter's life.

Well, I'm convinced she lied. She knew how to spell chloroform in her deposition but the spelling in the search was wrong. She testified that she didn't search how to make it, yet 2 experts testified that search was made and made bby specifically typing that phrase out. I don't buy the explanation about the neck-breaking search.

In my last post I just wanted to point out that she's a mom of a difficult child who's life is on the line. I think this is her way of being a warrior mom, right or wrong, enabling as it is. I noticed on the replay that Casey seemed to perk right up and look happy. I guess now maybe she'll reward her mom with a kind look next time Cindy mouths "I love you" to her.

Cindy would have been better off to join this board about 15 years ago. LOL!!

Yeah...I know. I have felt very sorry for these parents but this is going to far.

Yeah...watching on tv now...and like they are saying, jury going to think Cindy is now showing them that she is fine with being a liar at work by forging her time card so she is probably just fine with lying in court. Wonderful.

I was editing to add a couple of thoughts when you posted, if you want to read them.

DJ, Gd forbid I should ever be in those shoes, I honestly don't know what I'd really do if it was my son sitting there and it was his life on the line this time, not a year or even a life incarcerated.

Don't you think right next to those searches would be searches for: effects of chloroform on dogs, lathargy in dogs, dogs eat FL plants....right? It's obvious she's lying, she was at work! Didn't they already prove that? And 84 times doing that same search. Baez totally would have pointed out the searches regarding her dog, if there were any searches relating to the dog. So there weren't. I didn't see this, did the prosecution get his turn?

And like DJ said earlier, she tried to claim her type of internet was limited at work- well hello- she's a nurse- so maybe they blocked social networks or something but I seriously doubt they didn't allow searches for medication issues. And really, who wouldn't just call the vet when you're talking about the owner of 2 little yorkies?

I'm like you UAN- it would have been obvious by related searches on dogs, bamboo leaves, etc.....and it would have come out before now.

The medications- well she might be on so many that she isn't making objective decisions right now.

They said the jury sat right up and started taking a lot of notes- I tend to think they reacted just like we all did, yet they can do their own thinking about how well this adds up just like we can. Unless this turns out like OJ's case (and Casey isn't OJ), I think she'll be found guilty of something pertaining to her being an incompetent mother who's negligence or abuse or doing something horrible to her daughter that caused her death. What that means legally, I'm still not clear, but my guess is that she won't get the death penalty.

Well I think if it was something as big as murder it would be far different than a lesser thing. If my kid had killed my grandchild there would be no going back, Im sorry.

But, given even saying that, I have to admit something. There is a small warrant sitting out somewhere that never got served when I charged Cory. Its for one of the checks he stole from me. It was one of the last ones for I think $25 and for some reason the town that was supposed to have joined that charge with the others, never did. I have no idea why. I only know its out there somewhere because of the amount of money on his restitution. Its 25 bucks shy. Oh and there was never anyone from that town that contacted me again. I had to be the one that did all the leg work to even get the whole case to court in the first place.

So...if they ever do attempt to bring that case back up after he has been tried and convicted and served out all the rest of his time for the rest of those charges I am going to tell them I dont remember a thing. Check? Huh? Did he do that? I dont remember. I have had a brain injury since then and have no memory of anything prior to 2008.

There's a big difference between chlorophyll and chloroform! Any dog who goes out in the yard and eats grass is getting lots of chlorophyll! Mine will chomp on fresh grass like a herd of little black and white cows and they will sometimes eat grass if they have an upset stomach and it doesn't hurt them a bit! It might cause them to hurl if they eat enough of it but it certainly doesn't make them lethargic or sleepy!

I don't believe one word she said but I understand it. I pride myself on being a very truthful person. But would I go on a witness stand and lie my head off to save my daughter's life? You bet'cha I would!

Chlorophyll is what makes plants green. When it's gone the leaves change color, so now I'm even more confused.

March 2008 holidays:

Possible local celebrations, but those are the big ones in general.

I didn't understand the "March holidays" thing either but I just assumed that she was talking about family birthdays, anniveraries, etc.

And I think that a registered nurse would search for a more scientific, medically correct term for it rather than "neck breaking".

And who gets six weeks of vacation time in a brand new job!!

That's what I'm wondering about myself DJ and Donna, I would never lie to get my son off scott free (and never have- shoot, I'm the one that's turned him in whenever I knew he'd done something), and if he hurt a child (Gd forbid) I might walk away, but I still can NEVER imagine EVER advocating for him to get the death penalty and that would lead me to entertain the thought of doing what Cindy did in a moment of despair if I thought he was about to get that sentence.

But, DJ, I understand your position on $25 and Cory- I consider that neglible and he's working and getting himself turned around. That's different- I figure if the mom got the charges placed and it was your $25 we're talking about, the mom ought to be able to get them dropped.

The thing here though is that Casey has thrown her own family under the bus along with killing the grandchild. Its bad enough that the grandchild is dead but then on top of that Casey has now told the world her father is a child rapist, her brother is a child molester who attempted to molest his own sister and her mother tried to strangle her!

That wouldnt make me want to get up on the stand and be nice to her. That does show the dysfunction to me.

In most situations the murderer would still be blaming someone else but certainly not the family she wants to protect her in some way.

I've never experienced it first hand, but I know one thing ... if I had grown up in a home where I had been molested by my father and/or brother and then later on I had a little girl of my own, I would never let her anywhere near them and certainly not allow her to be alone with them! I would get a REAL job, not an imaginary one, earn my own money and make my own way and support my own child by myself and do my level best to protect her from them. Most mothers would. Casey Anthony did NONE of these things, which is a dead giveaway to me that this is all total BS! She was not a bit afraid of living there with her child, wasn't at all worried about her daughter being around her grandfather or her uncle, the supposed "child molesters".

There was abuse in my family and while I had the benefit of therapy as a young adult, after leaving the home, I still can't imagine that Casey would have waited until her life was on the line to bring it out, if that happened in her home. I'm not going to say that's impossible, but long ago I came to the conclusion that even if the entire family is that sick, it would not justify Casey contributing to or hiding her daughter's death. I stick by an earlier statement I made that if there was sexual abuse or efforts to molest in that family, it just doesn't justify this anyway. I do lean toward believing that those things didn't happen, but honestly, in very dysfunctional families it is very common although not typically done by the bio-parent. Sibling and extended family more likely. That doesn't mean I think bio-fathers never sexually abuse their kids, but it's just more often someone close, but not the bio-parent. But as I've said before, we have MANY men in prisons who have committed horrible offenses against kids and these men were abused as children. Did that fact get them off? No. So why should this get Casey off even if it's true?

I definitely don't think George found a drowned Caylee and demanded that Casey hide the body or that he did because that could lead to...whatever.....George would have to be completely paranoid to do that and I don't think there's been any sign that he's a real paranoid person.

I wonder how many jurors are thinking "I've seen enough BS, let's go vote already."

I agree with everything everyone has said. I'd like to know how she can explain the 20 sec between searching for chloroform and going on myspace when cindy didn't have a myspace. And it does seem like she had pretty quick answers to baez's questions. Didn't her atty say they would do anything to keep their daughter from getting a death sentence? It is obvious where the lying gene came from.

Oh gee...now Lee. crying because of the birth of Caylee and that Cindy and Casey kept him out of it. That sounds so bad.

Really...what in the world does a brother have to do with a sisters pregnancy and why would he be this upset over it? Not that my boys are brothers and sisters but they are siblings and they were happy about becoming uncles. They certainly didnt get upset or cry because they werent included or in on the plans for the baby. Sheesh.

Cindy is so full of it. She doesnt even know anything about computers or acts likes she doesnt. And then she acts like the most idiotic nurse in the world too.

I find it hard to believe she just walks in, sits down at the computer and has no clue what browser she uses. Please. Then she says that she just refreshes it to go on. Well...where does she go to refresh it? Gosh Im glad there is a computer guy on the jury!

And how many times have you had a youtube video just pop up on your computer without searching for it? I have never had that happen! Not youtube. And even if it had, it wouldnt be in the search bar, it would be in history!
