Caylee Marie Anthony-MURDER TRIAL/JURY SELECTION-DAY 8- 5/17/11

How many strikes does each side have left?

I think that each has used 3.

And they couldn't get rid of the lady from the other day that 'has no friends' but has a facebook page and doesn't want to judge anyone?  Something smells stinky about that deal.

You know it does to me too. I would hate to think the judge kept her because of reverse discrimination but from what I have seen it sure appears that way. The prosecution had very good reasons for excluding her, but the judge would not acknowledge them at all.

I see KC used her butter pat this morning to get those jagged wings out of her eyes.  I hope she let Snooki have her 'bumpit' back too.

How many strikes does each side have left?

They each have 5 left.

That is the normal number, but the judge can grant more if he decides.

Can't imagine he will. He wants this jury seated.

JMO.

Well, as Judge Perry says, I have a long memory and if there's a hang up in the jury with no decision reachable, then I will be asking - and who was it that wouldn't allow her to be stricken -not once but two times?  How much money is this woman going to cost the State onesof Florida in the end?

Something I don't understand, the prosecution wanted her of the first day - and Judge Perry said no - prosecution said they'd like to use a preemption and the Judge denied that day.  I never understood why the judge wouldn't allow the prosecution a preemption when he allowed the defense preemptions.

Can any monkey help me clear my confusion, please?

Honestly, it seems that the hat is getting hung on that others were rehabilitated after stating something originally but this woman clearly stated that she doesnt want to judge based on what others say but I sense a race issue being the real reason & at the moment Im fuming over it.  My only hope is that when she witnesses evidence such as the car, autopsy, location, etc she will speak for the victim versus her killer.

All I can go by is the sound of her voice.  The first day she was not interested in being on the jury.  When she was called back a few days later....that tone had changed and she did want to be on the jury.  I'm skeptical that she changed her mind and answers.

Do you play Farmville?  I don't.  I thought (but I'm not sure) that the point was to have lots of neighbors and to help each other 'grow' stuff.  If that is the case, just who is on this woman's FB page playing this game with her?  I wish the pros could get hold of her FB page.  I'll bet there is something interesting on it.

#3052, male. Says he thinks she is guilty. Says he cannot put opinions aside.

He is dismissed.

Summary:

11 PJ's retained so far.

Males= #1340, #1019, #1025, #1159, #3397

Females= #1398, #1055, #1319, #1251, #1429, #1007

Brandi.....did Juror #1312 get struck this morning??? I had her on my list as "in".

[TURBOTHINK]

My guess is George bought multiple rolls. I usually do when I buy duct tape because I don't know how much I will need. I usually buy about 5 rolls at a time.

I thought he was stealing them from work?  (or borrowing them and forgetting to take them back)  

That would make more sense............maybe take a case of them home. Since they were such a "specialty" brand, that would make sense.

Yes, she was the first one the State backstruck.

I didn't get her # until a bit ago. Ashton called her by name, and not number.

[Wyks]

Well, live and learn.  I am so cross w. myself that I did not take copious notes during this phase.  I now have no idea who is on and who is excused.
Cr*p

I hear ya Tol, am feeling the same way! 

[Babybear]

Good morning, Monkeys.

IMO with that decision, the judge has assured a hung jury, what he repeatedly claimed he didn't want to do.  When one declares that their religion would not permit their judging another, and since sitting on a jury is precisely that, they are unqualified to be on a jury.  Additionally, sitting on a jury is not a church service.  How much more clear did she make it that she will not judge Casey Anthony to be guilty?  She made it clear that she will not judge at all.  One assumes she will sit in the jury room and not participate in deliberation, since she doesn't judge and will not vote one way or another.  I believe this was an outrageous ruling on the part of Judge Perry and my admiration for his fairness has gone down considerably. I believe he will regret his making this determination.  This entire process has become an excercise in futility.

LOL - The greedy Anthonys are wanting some more money.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The attorney representing the parents of Casey Anthony said he will fight to put a halt to people trying to profit from the murder case centered around his clients' granddaughter.

T-shirts, pins, underwear and other items invoking the names of Casey and Caylee Anthony are being sold on the Internet, including eBay.

Haven't seen Brad Conway for quite a few days now. (Not since the A's lawyer said they may sue him, in fact.)

Thought he was covering the case as a news analyst now.

*shrug*

They are not going to sue him. Just blowing more smoke.

They can't let KC get all the attention.

Well she is the boss.

*shrug*

I guess he decided to stay away--he was on Judge Jeanine Pirro's show ( FOX Saturday evening )defending himself....saying he had done absolutely nothing wrong ( she brought it up in a gracious way ).

I bet Finnell and Casey are reading here right now...Finnell seems to delight in showing her expertise for googling stuff on her phone to Casey..
Why is that allowed?
