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

That just really helped the prosecution. The parents didn't bury their pets in a swamp, nor did they kill the pets with chloroform. I had an appointment today that I changed until 5:30 tonight, I can't stop watching. This Baez can never ask a question without starting over. I thought he was so rude earlier when he said "This is just more blah, blah, blah, blah." when talking about Ashton's wanting the jury to understand River Cruzs' testimony was not evidence of an accident.

upallnight...I changed my psychiatrist appointment till mid july just so I wouldnt miss this case...is that crazy or what? My appointment was for 1pm this afternoon...lmao. I was afraid Casey might take the stand today.

I was so tired of hearing about how many pets they had and how they were buried. I also thought, hmmm, did Casey help kill them? 2 dogs in 6 months? That is a lot considering they were mom and dtr unless they got hit by cars....and Casey was a senior in HS.

I do have to admit we didnt wrap our dogs in plastic bags though...only in towels but maybe we should have used bags. I know the vets here use zippered bags.. But who knows that long ago.

I do have to say, if I was a juror in there, I would have a really bad feeling about a girl who could throw this much trash at her family because all this stuff could only come from her. I could have never done that to my mother and I was abused by her far worse than what Baez is alleging Casey was abused by George. Heck, when the time came that my mother needed me, I took her in and cared for her. I would have never thrown her under the bus like this. Now she did me at every turn but I could have never done it to her. Guess that is why I am not a sociopath and only borderline.

Can you imagine doing that to anyone? In addition to what she did to Caylee, and letting them go on looking for her, and seeing their grief and searching like that? And to this day she hasn't told them anything, they still are wondering what happened. She has the nerve to sit there angry at them and to continously try to pawn this off on George, he's just convenient, if she could, she'd blame Cindy. Maybe that was her way of showing Cindy could be involved because of how she wrappped up the dog in bags and buried it herself.

What daughter does this? How could anyone do this to their parents? Yes DJ, maybe this will translate to the jury....If you could do this to your parents, you could do something bad to your helpless child.

I was looking for tape since I can't find my lint remover. I found my duct tape. You get one guess what brand it is, and I bought it at Wal-Mart.

To me, her reactions to her parents on the stand have been very telling. It seems like the more upset and emotional her parents get on the witness stand, the more she likes it! She sats there stone faced while her mother broke down when she was talking about Caylee. And she did the same thing yesterday when her father was so upset on the stand that even some of the spectators left the court room in tears. I almost believe the theory that she did this to spite her parents and hurt them!

But yet she is smiling and grinning all the time when the jury is out...what an evil person.

I hate the duct tape thing, we have about 4 rolls around the house somewhere and to heck if I know where they all are and anyone could grab one including anyone who happened to stop by to visit.

oh they are back from lunch....is she going to testify?????

The duct tape is made by a company in Avon Oh about 30 minutes from me. They have a duct tape festival every year I believe around Father's Day. It is sold all over the country. It is readily available.

A duct tape FESTIVAL? That must surely be the most arcane cultural manifestation after ugly grill contests :) :)

They'll ask for a mistrial and whatnot all the way through. SOP from what I recall of FL cases.

OMG!!

Did you all see that? I absolutely LOVE what just happened! Judge Perry just had a young spectator hauled up in front of him for making a "rude gesture" towards the prosecutor, Mr. Ashton, during court! Judge Perry raked him over the coals, then found him guilty of contempt of court on the spot and sentenced him to six days in jail and a $400 fine plus court costs! They handcuffed him right there and hauled him off! They should know by now not to mess around in his court room! Judge Belvin Perry kicks butt! I just love this!

Gotta wonder if he'll still have that server job at T.G.I.Friday's after his six days. Reckon he got his 15 minutes.

Hmmm... everyone will have their subjective reaction. Personally I thought the six days in prison quite unnecessary - and am at a loss as to why having a finger raised in court would cause a mistrial??
I think he should have had to work unpaid as a lowly court official in his spare time... get him to understand how the court works and why it should be respected.

Someone got their 15 minutes of fame. From the looks of him, it'll be a long 6 days. I hope the jury didn't see the gesture.

(And really, who has just one roll of duct tape? But also...EVERYONE has duct tape.)

I think 6 days is too lenient. Remember before the trial started, that woman said, "well she killed someone anyway"? The judge told her she would have gotten 9 months if she didn't have a mental health issue. I was thinking he was going to give him that amount..

If the jury thinks that the "regular people" of the world don't like Ashton, well they may glom onto that way of thinking during deliberations.
