Ditto on the hello to Ono and Curly.   Me too, can't wait to see which Cindy is in the chair. Medicated Cindy, defiant Cindy, blubbering Cindy, condescending Cindy,  so many to choose from!
I've got my little sidekick with me also. When the avi's and smileys were on he would be entertained while I read but for now it's DVR and cheeze its!

I've been thinking about Cindy and jim Lichenstein, he's by her side at every proceeding. Wondering if whatever show he will produce will be from the "grieving" grandma's perspective??  Disgusting, she sold her soul to the devil the minute she figured out what casey had done.

I'll bet your kitty will be happy to watch with you, all snuggled in your lap!  Hopefully she won't get scared if the "Doberman on a lunge line" shows up, with all these months of quiet from Sindy's big yap, she'll probably be on her best behavior. She's got an image to polish for the whole next year so that when she writes her memoirs or screenplay she'll be ready for prime time promos. I'm getting heartburn just thinking about it! i need those emotican monkeys, waaaah.

State puts weight in Casey Anthony's mother's 911 calls
July 11, 2010|By Anthony Colarossi Orlando Sentinel

Beyond the mounds of evidence collected in the Casey Anthony murder case and the volumes of paperwork filed in court, the series of 911 calls Cindy Anthony made nearly two years ago remain central to the case against her daughter.

After all, the calls represent the very genesis of this case. One captures Cindy Anthony's frantic first moments upon learning of her granddaughter's monthlong disappearance. In it, Cindy Anthony also describes the dead body smell in her daughter's car — something she may have to testify about this week.

But most important, according to legal experts and prosecutorial filings, the calls reveal Casey Anthony's earliest "fabrications" of what happened to 2-year-old Caylee Marie. In other words, the calls could help establish what the prosecution considers Casey Anthony's concocted story.
 That's why prosecutors want two of the three July 15, 2008, calls admitted at trial. It also explains why defense attorneys have argued to keep the calls out, calling them "hearsay." On Thursday, both arguments will be made during a hearing largely devoted to this issue.

Often, 911 calls provide value in criminal cases because they offer a sense of immediacy and instant, emotional response to an offense. In many instances, legal experts say, they portray a truthful account largely because the callers haven't had time to reflect.

"All the emotions are bare. Everything is on the table, and nobody is in the business of creating fiction," said Abe Laeser, a former prosecutor for 36 years with the State Attorney's Office in Miami-Dade County, citing the value of the calls. "The jury really gets a sense of what was going on at the time."

'There's something wrong'

On Thursday, attorneys expect to ask Cindy Anthony about her now-infamous calls to an emergency dispatcher.

"I told you my daughter was missing for a month. I just found her today but I can't find my granddaughter," Cindy Anthony says during her final call. "There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

Anthony, 24, is charged with murder in the death of her daughter. The toddler's remains were found in December 2008, months after she was first reported missing.

The 911 calls might be considered a victim's — or even a suspect's — first statement about what happened. They frequently turn up in domestic-violence cases in which a victim reports abuse, but later expresses reluctance to testify.

Thanks Trim - Thursdays hearings should be very interesting.  I expect Cindy has been getting ready for the event and has been practicing her lies, over and over and over ad nauseum.

[Ono]

Happy Monday everyone!   Interesting links/articles I'll devour tonght ... appreciate all;   The Jar likes to play mental dodge ball but I'm thinking this time it will be a losing game for him.

[monkalicious]

Good monrning, Monkeys!  Thank you for keeping me in the loop with all the updates and comments.  I am not only anxious for Thursday, but really, really, really ready to see Judge Perry's response to the defense's little game playing from last week.  I want him to put the hammer down on Baez's silliness, (perhaps he could borrow one from Cindy!)  I think it's beyond time to smack some sense into the defense.
(Please, Judge P., don't disappoint me...)

Casey Anthony: In a movie, the big scenes would be Cindy’s

Will there be a movie in the Casey Anthony case?

A savvy producer could use the public record and tell a riveting story. No money would ever need to go to any of the Anthonys.

The challenge would be telling the story, because in a Casey Anthony movie, the central character is a cipher. The mostly mum Casey is charged with first-degree murder in the death of daughter Caylee.

The better way to go would be to focus on Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mom, who has delivered the most dramatic moments in this headline-making case. It’s a role that would appeal to actresses of a certain age. Done the right way, the role could have Emmy written all over it.

Cindy’s moments include the 911 calls and her fiery deposition in the Zenaida Gonzalez defamation suit. Another big scene could unfold at a hearing this week when Cindy is questioned about the 911 calls.

All along the way, Cindy has been the more interesting figure than Casey. We see Cindy swimming with Caylee in home movies. We’ve seen Cindy arguing with protesters outside her home and waving a hammer. We’ve seen Cindy in TV interviews, sticking up for Casey and crying about Caylee. We saw Cindy at the memorial service. Cindy dined at the Ritz. Cindy keeps coming to court.

I wonder what Casey Anthony would make of Cindy becoming the star of “The Casey Anthony Story.”
