she probably won't even take the stand.... Too risky for them
This is what I've been hearing.
She will plead the 5th and not talk.
She doesn't even have to get up there at all. Very few defendants actually take the stand in their own defense. She wont even be called.
I never realized that. I feel like if you are being accused of something, you should have to speak. I find this odd.
The basic premise is that you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. You do not have to get up and defend yourself. The job of the prosecutor is to prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense is there to cast doubt on the story that the prosecution is painting. That is the way our judicial system works.

From the time he saw her interact with the daughter but he did say that the kid was not coming after a while. She was having a blast. Kid was with "nanny" (during the time she was already dead).

I understand that and maybe I shouldn't have phrased it as defend herself, but I still think, if they are trying to bring up drowning, job employment, "nanny"... who better to ask than her? It's about her why can't i hear from her what the deal is with the job, have her state the name of the nanny, show her pictures of herself at a club and have her verify the validity of it, ask her about her parents involvement with her daughter...

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
From what I remember hearing, autopsy did not show a cause of death. So I guess that is why her lawyer can say what he wants.

They don't know which scares me that they will use this for reasonable doubt. I don't want this b*tch to get off

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
She has chosen the absolute WORST defense imaginable. I think that ANYTHING else would have gotten her more sympathy with the jury. She is a sociopathic murderer. I feel so bad for her parents who had to sit there and listen to those things she said about her father. 
If she is aquitted I am seriously considering becoming a vigilante, because I will have lost all faith in the legal system.

I agree very scary what they are doing, her father must be devastated by her accusations. I am hoping they have enough evidence that the jury believes and convict her ***.

Just saw on the ticker tape at bottom of screen, she has been declared indigent, and taxpayers are helping pay for her defense.

Under the 5th amendment no defendant "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself". It becomes a double edged sword because essentially the government would be forcing you to perjure yourself since obviously a guilty would not sit there and tell the truth. It is the state who holds the burden of proof.

I agree 100 % with everything said here. I am at work so I haven't been able to watch it and have been coming here - any updates? I was watching Nancy Grace last night and she had on the family's attorney.

There were no lungs, just bones found, so exact cause of death couldn't be determined.

I can't remember specifically what they said, but something like the state will prove it wasn't a drowning because there is evidence that the duct tape was NOT put on the body post-mortum.

Wow - Casey is a sociopath - she invited this girl to her daughter's birthday party when she knew that she was already dead.

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
as you can probably already tell, I know nothing about the judicial system and court affairs,... why do they take these little "recess" sessions randomly in the middle of questioning someone?

Re: Casey Anthony trial 1/2 hour n counting.
Yes it is her ex boyfriend right now.
I live in FL and the news here has said jurors were told the move to the trial area could be 2 moths or more, I guess it all depends on any amount of things that could happen.
