Caylee Marie Anthony - MURDER TRIAL - Closing Arguments - 7/3/2011

[Scatty]

Sunny Hosten always amazes with her stupidity. She says there's only two types of mothers who kill: the mentally ill like Andrea Yates, or the kind that has a history of abuse. What about Susan Smith or Diane Downs? To the outside world they were loving mothers. No one ever accused them of abuse. Yet they killed their children when they became inconvenient. These are the sociopaths.

Was the "You are my Sunshine" video admitted into evidence?  If not, I don't think they can use it.  I'd want them to use it too, so I hope it was...and maybe I've just forgotten.

I'm stretching my brain here, but I think that in the beginning, Linda had Cindy identify the video. I remember Cindy talking about coming home from there, getting something more for Caylee to eat, and then going to the pool. I think Linda was clearing up Cindy's initial confusion on the date regarding how long Caylee had been missing.

Anyone else remember that?

I remember that because I had not followed the case until the trial, so I remember Cindy telling the whole story of their day and going to her mothers to have dinner or lunch and going home and being in the pool for over an hour with Caylee.

It seems to me that Linda had Cindy identify the video at that point and entered it into evidence, but I couldn't swear to it. I know she didn't play the whole thing, if that's the case. I was just hoping it could be used in closing.

Slore not in the court room.  Sims just rushed out into the back hall.  Wonder if she choked on her bologna over lunch?

She needs to buck up because her judgment day is happening regardless of her theatrics

Were there any reports of Diane Downs abusing her children before she decided she needed to be free to pursue a man (where her kids would be in the way) and shot them all?

Susan Smith?

Those are two that come to mind.

Jose Baez very first comments were damning to himself.

He said that you probably have more questions than answers at this point as the trial has come to an end. Hmm, ya mean like the questions that the DEFENSE posed in opening statements and never answered. Like that Jose?

Jose Baez has yet to actually make that one comment that sums up his closing. Did this guy not pay attention in public speaking classes? You don't start out be telling them what you are going to do or say and then fail to do it in any succinct method.

I think its pathetic that HLN and pundits have to make excuses that Baez is going to surprise us. REALLY? He would surprise me if he actually made a point that all common sense would not disprove. Every time Baez tries to make a point all I can do is quote the movie Billy Madison:

"Mr. Baez, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. "

Let's get this done!  My baby is pacing back and forth...I promised him a new two wheel bike today and he is not going to wait until tomorrow.  Then of course I will need to stay outside while he learns to ride it.   I am going to try to put him off until 5:00 pm.  We shall see.

I feel your pain, I have holiday plans and have to leave in 2 hrs and 15 min.  I can't cancel as my family would think I've lost my mind.  My sister is going to call me if there are surprising events.

Not that I remember.

Is anyone as shocked as I at the level of jose baez's ego to think he could even try a MURDER case - let alone a MURDER ONE? #caseyanthony

Nothing shocks me of this man's ego ... what shocks me is that he was allowed to. Today's closing is a perfect example to see a comparison of like legal expertise. Both sides are doing a closing ... ASHTON was laser focused and Baez is just babbling all over the place, we'll get back to that, "I'll show you this", ... flashbacks, flash-forwards and flash-sideways. A confused and muddled mess.

What else would one expect, the Defense has been a confused and muddled mess as well as lies and speculation that was never proved.

I am not convinced Baez is incompetent.
I've run into[many] people before who use this tactic a LOT - it's the old shell game trick - to keep you focused anywhere but on the truth. I think Baez is doing exactly what works for him  - play dumb. I hate to say this but Joran van der Sloot was good at that too.

She is off the charts absurd & disingenuous in what she purports to the public

[Ayee]

I would dare say there are many more inbetween that is gray. I have covered and wrote on so many stories of child abuse that lead to death where there was not signs of abuse. Sorry, killers do not fall into nice, neat boxes.

[Missiontoconvict]

Excuse me?  Is putting duct tape on a child's face prior to death not child abuse?

Hey~  We saw plenty of photos with Caylee having bruises under her eye.  That wasn't made up, fool.  NO NAME CALLING!!

Just to clarify Monkey King I am not a fool.  I was being sarcastic - in other words if putting duct tape on the mouth of a child isn't child abuse then I don't know what is.

I agree, you aren't a fool.
