and if it was a drowning, what does that have to do with this? BLAH!
Exactly!!!! I don't get the defence at all.
My understanding, and since I am not a lawyer I could be wrong, the defense only has to show that there is no in the SPECIFIC proof in the charges that the state brought against her. They do not need to defend or show proof of the drowning.
Right. Basically, their job is to discredit the prosecution's case and create doubt in the juror's minds about it. They don't need to "prove" anything.
yes but the defense's opening argument promised the jury that they'd hear about how Casey was molested by her father and almost by her brother, etc. They will have to address that now. Baez wrote a check that he can't cash and that will blow up in his face.

Yes, Baez promised that the jury would have "evidence". Now I want to see this evidence. The molestation and the drowning.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
IMO, the ONLY way to use this abuse/molestation story to their advantage is to have Casey testify. If it's true, the jury will want to hear it directly from her, in her words. Not her attorney telling them the story. We will hear (and have already heard) her father deny the entire thing but unless she gets on the stand to tell her side of the story (not that I believe it's true for one second) I don't think they will get anywhere with that.
However, if Casey does take the stand, we already know what an incredible liar she is, so I'm sure she'd put on quite an act for the jury. We can only hope they see through it!

Yep... she's been spotted at the courthouse for the past two days. Once they finish with these forensic experts I'm sure she's next! Supposedly she will testify that he told her Caylee's death was an accident. I read that she has taken a lie detector test. Hmmm.

Wow. I feel really bad for Cindy Anthony. First the lady loses her grandaughter, then her daughter is on trial for murder and if that isn't enough now she has to see her husbands mistress. Horrible.

He probably said he thinks it's an accident that spiraled out of control. I really doubt he would "spill" to his mistress if he was involved in this.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
George and Cindy said while they doubt Casey is innocent they are totally against her getting the death penalty... so that they are willing to go on the stand and testify to that... to do anything they can to make sure she does not get death penalty. while i also don't actually support the death penalty fully, for some reason, this annoys me.
what did i miss this morning? I just started tuning in and it seems like they began early and got stuff done already.

I know how I feel about the death penalty I am for it on certain cases. But I dont know if I would be able to be for it if it was my own daughter. It must be a very hard place to be losing your grandchild and then having to lose your own daughter. I would never want to be on that side of the fence.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
So the mistress has told different stories. Her first statement was that there was no affair and then she changed the story. And funny when changed the story she said that Geaorge told her it was ahorrible accident that snowballed out of conrtol. Baez used that same wording in his opening statement.
She also has credibility issues. She has done several interviews already. And I think she is a psychic.

Not sure why it annoys you. They arent going on the stand and testifying that she is innocent and as far as we know they are not withholding any information. They both gave very accurate testimonies into what happened and even admit she is probably guilty. But of course they dont want their daughter to get the death penalty, after all this she is still their daughter.
ETA: as much as i believe that she should get the death penalty for what she did - I can understand why her parents wouldnt want that. If my son did something like this (god forbid) I would understand punishment to the full extent but I would never WANT him to get the death penalty for obvious reasons.

I'm not judging them for not wanting their daughter to be sentenced to death. I obviously understand that. But the fact that they (through their lawyer) are publicizing the fact is a bit odd. It is like they are trying to get their own opinions listened to and weighed in consideration.
I just feel that saying they would say or do anything to make sure she does not get death means they are willing to tweak information. I don't think she will get death. But if everyone is so against death, how do you think the jury feels? I am just worried in their anxiety over the fact that they might send someone to jail with a death penalty sentence, they will just say innocent to get out of it. If people are afraid of the consequences of the guilty verdict, they will not make the right decision because of that.

I agree. But their opinions wont be weighed in consideration, the jury doesn't know what their opinions are and will not know when making their decision.
I do not believe anyone in their right mind would say she was innocent. They might convict her of a lesser degree and she might not get the DP - but I highly doubt she will just walk away from this. (hoping that im right).
Even though she is convicted of first degree murder with the DP she can still found guilty of a lower degree. I pray this is not the case, she is 100% guilty in my eyes, but unfortunately its not up to me!

If the defense is determined to bombard the jury with forensic/scientific evidence they need to make sure it's understandable.
So far I don't understand anything they are saying until Ashton gets up and explains it for me - in which case they are better witnesses for the prosecution.

I like it in small doses, but when it goes on for 2-3 hours at a time with the same witness it starts to get a little hard to listen to. Esp when they keep asking questions about the same things and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Now, the computer expert I'm definitely interested in! Let's find out more about Casey's computer activity!
