I heard someone (I think Vinnie Politan) mention today that during Caylee's memorial, Lee said something about keeping a secret regarding CMA.  He said he didn't know if Lee was referring to Cindy, Casey or Caylee.  I don't recall hearing anything about this, do one of y'all?

Nevermind, I found Lee speaking at the memorial and he didn't talk about a secret.  He talked about a promise he made to CMA and I believe he was speaking to Caylee, not Casey.

Hello Fellow Monkeys,

I finally blogged about attending trial day #2.

You can have a look here:  http://cathiefilian.blogspot.com/2011/05/attending-casey-anthony-trial.html

I write a craft and cooking blog so it was a bit of a departure for my readers.  I added a little back-story so I did not throw them off.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  It was a really long and sobering day.  I cracked a bottle wine and ordered room service to my hotel after it was over.

Have a great holiday weekend,
Cathie Filian (craftycathie)

Enjoyed the pictures~! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Monkeys


I missed most of today's session, but I appreciate all of the updates, etc.

There was an old movie, "The Bad Seed."  (Mods, this is not off topic, I'm gonna tie it all together.)  I think there was a newer one, but the one with Patty McCormic was chilling.  Little girl, about eleven had a nasty habit of killing anyone who had something she wanted, or just for the fun of it.  She had been adopted, and she was the bad seed of a murderous biological mother.  Anyway, Casey is Rhoda (The character in the movie) personified.  I seriously wonder if she has killed people all her life and just no one ever considered such a pretty, sweet girl could do things like that.  No one thought Rhoda could either, but her adoptive mother finally knew, but she kinda died too taking the secret with her.   I truly believe that Casey planned to kill George and Cindy and anyone else who stood in her way.  I think it likely that she killed before.

Hi Babybear. I swear I had the exact same thoughts about The Bad Seed movie about an hour ago! I totally agree.  The other thing I was wondering about is how long ago she came up with her defense.  I was thinking about a couple of items... the pool ladder being out, the flurry of calls on the afternoon of the 16th and lastly, her comment in jail about "don't worry I didn't say anything"  Were all of these planned and part of her set up? That would be king of scarey.  Anyway, I completely agree with the movie comments.  Rhoda and Casey are twins.

Anyone have a good theory on exactly when the body was in the trunk and when Casey dumped the body on Suburban?

Could it be that on the afternoon of June 16th ... Caylee died from a drug overdose (chloroform) while her mother was at "work"?  The deceased baby was temporarily placed inside the trunk of Casey's vehicle.

Could it be that two days later Casey returned home while her parents were at work ... wrapped duct tape donning a sticker around the head of her deceased daughter in an attempt to stop the flow of body fluids ... placed Caylee wrapped in her Winnie the Pooh blanket in three plastic bags and ... buried her daughter in the back yard with a borrowed shovel?

Could it be that at a later date ... possibly with assistance (brother? boyfriend?) ... Casey retrieved a decomposing Caylee from the backyard of her parent's home ... the plastic bags leaking ... placed her in the trunk of her vehicle and ... took her to the location where the remains were eventually discovered.

In other words ... Caylee's death was not intended but ... considering it was a result of wrongdoing ... a coverup happened ... not a call to 911

I agree that the tape was put there to stop the leaking of body fluids! I don't believe that Casey slowly suffocated her by wrapping the tape around.  All MOO, though.

I agree.  I don't believe that Casey suffocated Caylee.  Considering there was no nanny ... could be that Caylee was routinely drugged (chloroforum) to sleep while Casey was doing whatever Casey did while she was suppose to be at work.  However ... on the afternoon of June 16th ... something terrible happened ... Cayle did not wake up.

I think that as well -- the usual routine of chloroforming her ended with tragic results (which I equate with actual pre-meditated murder and not an "accident").

Day 4: Smell Of Death, Casey's 'Special Bond'
Wrecker, Casey Anthony's Father Testify About Smell Of Car
POSTED: 1:03 pm EDT May 27, 2011
UPDATED: 5:55 pm EDT May 27, 2011
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Much of the prosecution’s case against Casey Anthony comes down to Casey’s car, and the questionable smell of the trunk came front and center during testimony Friday.

Simon Birch, a manager from Johnson’s Wrecker Service, was asked if he was familiar with the smell of human decomposition. The company towed Anthony’s car from an Amscot lot in July 2008.

Birch said he’d smelled the odor before.

I think that as well -- the usual routine of chloroforming her ended with tragic results (which I equate with actual pre-meditated murder and not an "accident").

I think chloroform was used on Caylee too but what I don't understand is you usually breath in chloroform.  Why would Casey put duct tape over both her nose and mouth?  She wouldn't do it before she chloroformed her and why would she do it after she was already dead?  If Casey used the duct tape to make sure Caylee couldn't make noise if she did wake up and had done it before, wouldn't there be marks on Caylee's face from the adhesive?  Why would she duct tape her so thoroughly this time and not any other time?

[Scatty]

I think it's possible that Casey had planned on pinning Caylee's murder on George. With George out of the way, Cindy would probably let Casey have the house (in her imagination). What if she came home after George left for work on June 16th, put Caylee in her swimsuit (maybe) after drugging her with chloroform, dangles the unconscious child in the pool until she drowns. Puts duct tape over the mouth and nose just in case the liquid comes out or Caylee resuscitates.

On the 25th, when she talks about GA borrowing her car and hitting a squirrel, she's setting up that GA used her car to move Caylees body, causing the car to stink. After which she abandons the car.

Babybear,  you are not going to believe this!!!  Yesterday during the trial, someone said something ( I cannot remember what it was!), but I could immediately hear, "Scott Dagle got dead not me!".  I swear it was if Rhoda was in the court room talking through whoever it was....and of course,  I am thinking of the first movie...she was the best.

Babybear,  today when the prosecution was trying to explain why the instant messages between Casey and Tony should be admitted into evidence, when the judge asked something along the lines of the next logical question is why didn't she kill her parents....I wanted to yell, well, there are a lot of people who thought that was the initial plan....funny how we start to think alike.

I am thinking that Lee and Mallory must be watching this on tv....if I were Mallory, I would have shot daggers at KC and said she was a master manipulator.

What about the dead squirrels? Does anyone remember the dates when she was texting a friend about the dead squirrel smell in her car? That would have to have been before it was towed and picked up by George. Doesn't she put herself there in the car with the smell first? Did I miss something about that, or am I mistaken about all that? Help me out please!

Could it be that on July 27th ... Casey retrieve Caylee from a backyard grave.  The decomposing body inside a leaky garbage bag was placed in the trunk and ... disposed of at the "pet cemetery".

This could explain Casey's text to Amy regarding the odor on the 27th ... would explain why the vehicle was abandoned on the 27th and ... would explain why George did not detect an odor on the 24th.

Docs: Death Stench Prompted 'Trunk' Fears; Casey Blamed Dead Squirrel
600 Documents Of Interviews, Text Messages Released In Caylee Case
POSTED: 5:08 pm EDT September 23, 2008
UPDATED: 6:46 pm EDT September 23, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Nearly three weeks before deputies arrested the mother of missing Caylee Anthony, the 22-year-old admitted to a friend that her car smelled like death, according to new information in nearly 600 pages of released documents concerning the case.

The documents, which included interviews and phone records, showed Casey Anthony was aware of a foul smell in her car.

In a phone call to Amy Huizenga, Casey Anthony told her friend, "It smells like something died in my car."

Casey Anthony claimed her father, George, had possibly run over a squirrel when he borrowed her car that week.

However, the date would have been during a period when the Anthonys said they could not find Casey Anthony.

Also, on June 27, documents show that Casey Anthony sent a cell phone text message to her friend (Amy Huizenga) that reads, "There was definitely part of a dead animal plastered to the frame of my car."

According to Huizenga, June 27 is the date when Casey Anthony admitted leaving her car at an Amscot, claiming it had run out of gas.

The car was later towed to an impound lot, where George and Cindy picked it up two weeks later.

Casey's journals?

Tonight on Vinnie Politan - Mike Galanos "read" from Casey's journal entry from June 21 (after Caylee died)

"I have no regrets just a bit worried.  I completely trust my own judgment.  I know I made the right decision.  I just hope the end justifies the means.  This is the happiest I've been in a long time"

Can this be entered into evidence?  Has it been?  Good grief THAT speaks volumes!!!
