For those watching the Casey A. trial.....

[klmno]

I think Lee is weird. I think they all lie sometimes, Lee included, even if he was the one telling the truth today. Casey, of course, still makes them look like saints to me.

George was just plain stupid if he handled things the way he did today because he hadn't come clean with Cindy yet. He should have seen this coming a long time ago.

The thing is, all the family and people close to the family's testimony basicly has to be thrown out, maybe not legally thrown out, but they have no credibility left in my mind. That leaves the expert testimony, evidence found, and testimony of those who didn't know the family to go by. And that's what I would base my decisions on if I was on the jury. I hope Ashton just sticks to reminding the jury of those things during closing.

Lee's sole job is to seal the deal on the idea of a dysfunctional family

Yeah, but maybe 1 in 3 (at least) families are dysfunctional and have secrets in them. Most are just trying to hold the family together in any way they can, no matter what it takes. Look at what we go thru with our difficult children. I still think it's way too far of a stretch for me to go from that fact to George aiding or himself hiding Caylee after she accidentally died because somehow or another, this would keep his indiscretions with Casey from being found out. That would be insane thinking, not dysfunctional, in my humble opinion.

But I didn't take from your post, Marcie, that you bought all this either.

Doesn't impeaching Cindy bite the defense in the rear since one of their most solid points was that Cindy searched for the chloroform?

I think this defense team needs to be finding a glove that doesn't fit Casey real soon. LOL!

Well, if they were going to go after a meter reader, why on earth didn't they go after the one who told Kronk "he bets the little girl's remains are in those woods" then "I told you they were in there"? Not that this guy did it, but he would have been an easier target than Kronk.

FWIW - that's a s*cker bet in Florida so much of the area is woods, wetlands, or a mixture of the two (speaking in general square mileage of Florida).

You would think!

Did you hear the judge say at the end of the defense case if Casey does not take the stand he will be asking her whether that decision is hers and hers alone?

Nancy

 

[klmno]

Yep- I don't know if that's Fl law or, I wondered, if that commentator might have been right about this being behind the request for the competency evaluation.

 

[Nancy]

No, this is law everywhere I believe. I mentioned it yesterday in a post, the judge is required to ask if it is her decision not to testify. If she says yes it is her decision then unless she is lying that was not the reason for the competency hearing. But then we all know everything out of her mouth is a lie.

Ladies, listen, let's make a pact to get out of our houses and do something else for awhile on Wed. I had 2 1/2 weeks off from work, that I had been looking forward to since Sept., and THIS is what I've done. I had a bad cold, and it was not sunny....but tomorrow we're all going to do something else. I've been ADDICTED to that site DJ posted, by the way. Come back here tomorrow night and say what else you've accomplished. Then Thursday, our laundry'll all be done, we'll have run all our errands and we can watch guilt free! Are you with me?

 

[Nancy]

Lol well I have no choice and either does klmno.

Nancy

 

[DammitJanet]

well I have a doctors appointment at 11 am but I am taking my computer with me in case ICA..oh I mean Casey decides to do something interesting like get on the stand...lol.

 

[klmno]

I have to work tomorrow. Thursday I go out of town for the majority of the day, Friday I have taken a vacation day. But every evening I'll probably be trying to cacth up! I'm sure it's a good thing that I have no choice but to do some other things.

 

[Marcie Mac]

I have to work all day but having said that, the boys hooked up my work computer to my personal easy child so I can listen to CNN Live while I am at my day working



Marcie

 

[Nancy]

I can't believe I missed the best day of testimony of the whole trial.

Back in front of the tv for the second half.

Nancy

 

[TerryJ2]

Oh my, you are all really addicted! LOL! All I do is read the headline (not the entire story) and then read your comments because you all sum it up for me. Heh heh.

 

[DammitJanet]

I couldnt get a danged internet connection in the stupid dr's office. Why I didnt think about that I have no idea. I think laptop and just assume, I can get on anywhere...lol. Even my phone wouldnt let me find a radio station with the stupid news on it...argh...I dont give a darn about country music right now!

I pleaded for them to change the tv in the waiting room from HGTV to HLN but no go. I cant believe everyone isnt as addicted as I am! Maybe they should have held the trial in my town.

I finally got home when they went on a lunch break. Thankfully my dr is a watcher of the trial and dvr's it...lmao. I told him I was antsy to get home to it. He got me out fast. Bless him.

 

[HaoZi]

What did I miss? Is it still on?

 

[DammitJanet]

yep. George has been on all morning and he was so pitiful. He cried. Defense grilled him mercilessly. It was awful. Really made the defense look bad to me. I mean the poor man tried to take his life because he lost his beloved granddaughter and they smirked at him and called him bad names about it? Really?

 

[HaoZi]

If there's an afterlife, I bet there's a special place for people like Baez there. And I bet they have neighbors like Casey.

 

[DammitJanet]

OMG.....this grief expert! Traumatology. I wanna be a traumatologist. I have enough experience in trauma! What a bunch of boloney.

This woman doesnt even have a degree in sociology or psychology or whatever. She is a nurse practioner. She has never even met Casey.
