Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

Ok, Since there was no trial today, I watched the opening statements because as i've said before, I had never seen them when it aired.

A couple of days ago, I watched the prosecution's opening statements and they were great and delivered on everything they said they would MINUS Jesse Grund, Casey's ex-fiance. I am still curious as to why he was not able to testify.

However, the defenses opening statement was odd and is so far not relevant. Baez was just sucking up to the jury every way he could ("we picked you for a reason" "we will make sure you get home quickly" ) stating all of these obvious lies (Caylee drowned but then goes on to say drowning is the #1 cause of deaths in toddlers in florida, like hey I found this fact and drowning is popular so let's go with this...) and attributing the pain and lying to other circumstances like sexual abuse which will not be directly discussed but there "will be signs. little signs here and there here and there". UM... you are just planting a false idea in everyone's idea and asking them to read into NOTHING and make it something.

The prosecution had hard evidence and had these family members and friends all stating sort of the same views and stories. How can this jury believe anything else when they are just going on a fabrication they allude to constantly but don't prove or even shed more of a reliability to?

And the fact that she watched and listened attentively during prosecution's speech and was nodding her head no (either to act like her speech was a lie or because she's thinking to herself I can't believe I did this to my daughter) but then cries during the defense (either because she's trying to get people to buy this story or feels guilty she is throwing everyone under the bus for these lies), isn't that causing a bias for the jury and they are supposed to avoid that at all costs? and Baez used photos where the prosecution did not.

The defense even said in their speech, sorry, but you will have to speculate on all of this because the investigation was not done right, as if every single person they talked to was incapable of their job, unqualified and wrong. If the jury has to speculate everything what's the point? They can speculate any and all circumstances then... it's so weird! The defense is a mess now (hence why there is no court today) and prosecution was so swift and strong! Sitting through two weeks of "speculative" evidence is practically the same as not having any info at all... **They should just let the jury deliberate and go home because it is either that they believe the prosecution's evidence or they don't.**

If Jesse Grund didn't get to testify are they still going to be talking to George Anthony's mistress? I don't understand why his affair is involved, but jesse- who was told he was the father of caylee wasn't.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I missed opening statements too... where did you watch them? Are they on Wesh? At this point I've pretty much heard all about hem but I'd still like to watch for myself.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

no, I found them on youtube from the user "caseyanthonycase"

they had both the defense and prosecution i think they were like split into 8 videos each so around 16 total approximately. Each video was about 14-15 minutes long.

Morning!

Good morning!!!

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I hate how Baez says "gotcha" moments

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I missed the first week of court, too.

Did the prosecution ever point out all of the lies she told and the dead end trails she led the cops on? How about the fact that she TOLD her brother and parents she spoke to Caylee on July 15th. Doesn't that hold a TON of indications of guilt??

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

In the time off, juror 16, a 25-year-old single guy, gave himself a faux hawk!

I love the twitters about the jurors.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I don't know if I can take 2-3 more weeks of this! Let the jury decide.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

U know I have to say I hung on every word of the prosecution, and was obsessed whenever possible. The defense is killing me, I dvr it and then basically do not watch it but catch clips from the news or Nancy grace. The defense is too repetitive and a circus. I cannot help but think the jury is probably tuning them out too.
Now totally unrelated here's something I don't get thaT bothers me and I feel shows some of how unorganized the defense is. It was made clear and I am sure can b dug up to see again is the fact casey said lee tried to or did molest her but did not succeed, I took that to mean she insinuated it but it did not happen or did not succeed in actual sex. If that's the case why do they ask the results of paternity with him? It's like the convict that did not even own the phone at the time of the calls. I just don't get it. I think the defense sucks.
I don't really care being totally think she's guiltY.

FYI. The facebook page has a lot of info, like 7000 followers n they rip the info to shreds too, ha.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

OMG!!! She just called her the wrong name...

UGH this defense is KILLING meeee

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

Ok so the botanist says the remains could only have been there for 2 weeks before they were discovered, due to the "pattern of leaf litter". I hope the State is going to cross-examine and point out the weeds/roots that were found growing THROUGH the skull!! That only took 2 weeks???

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I hate this lady and I don't trust a word she says.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

This lady Sucks!!! She knows nothing!!

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

the botanist is WAY too wishy washy to have much confidence in what she is saying.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

This woman is aggravating.
She is making me violent.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

Her tone of voice reminds me of the creepy forensic entemologist that we were saying seemed to focus more on siding with the defense than presenting his "expert" opinion.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

I want to take Casey by the neck and force her to look at those photos!!

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.

so true!

all these creepy untrustworthy people the defense has called is just ridiculous!!
