Caylee Marie Anthony- MURDER TRIAL- DAY 8- 6/02/2011

[dani]

I keep hearing all the legal pundits say that the only hope for the defense making their story stick, is to put Casey on the stand.  Sounds like a sure path to her demise, to most people.  But she is such a great liar, and appears to have no conscience whatsoever, that it wouldn't surprise me for Jose to view that as her only strength at this point in the game, and go ahead and put her up there. After all, can it really get any worse than it already is?   What say the monkeys?

I had a dream last night that she was testifying, but of course couldn't hear what she was saying! Not that it matters, but... I think it would be interesting if she were put on the stand. You're right though -- she would lie through her teeth.

I see people, Trimm.

TIA, what site are you on?

I just love being a part of this group.  Just sayin'.   

Although my husband has (surprisingly) gotten more into this trial than I ever expected, he still can't help me with answers to things that come up.  One thing I've wondered this week is because of that video of the birthday party they've started showing at times on NG.  Does anyone know who the guy is that pretends to sing into Caylee's little karoke microphone?  Semi-balding and I don't recall ever seeing him before.  Just pure curiosity wondering who he is...doesn't really bother me just pure nosiness, I guess.

However...the following does bother me and has for a long time.  IF they play this part of the jail video visit, I wonder what the jury will make of it because I haven't been able to make sense of it in my mind over these 2+ years.   I'm referring to the time Casey blurts out after Cindy says they've forgiven her for whatever she might have said (also wonder how that will go over now!) and Casey says something to the effect of (paraphased): "Don't worry.  I haven't said anything."   That is one of those cliff-hangers that makes my head hurt.

When I was listen to her talk-about Zanny on the tapes-I find myself forgeting there is no Zanny--thats how good of a liar she is-if I were talking to the police about anything --telling the truth-I would sound like I was a liar --I would be so nervous--not kc  nreves of steel

She will have to get on the stand. I have not doubt that SHE thinks  can lie her way out of this just as she has all her life. Jeff will let her hang herself and then he will tighten the noose!~

i agree bozo can turn her words into anything he wants them to be, cant understand why its not clear to everyone that she did it

Cindy telling casey "we dont know what your involvement was sweet heart your not telling us the truth

************************************
i never did understand why Casey asked Cindy "you dont know what my involvement is are you kidding me" or something like that, defense could use that as Casey thinking George had told her what happened

That line and when she would say, I don't know where my daughter is, always bothered me.  They were part of the reason I thought someone else was involved, at least in the disposal.  I am now done figuring out or trying to tie other people into it. She  has sat in jail 3 years being a stink bottom to everyone but her defense team, and the best she come up with was it was an accident, I knew all along and some stranger stole her body.  I hope the jury feels the same way I do - disgusted and dismayed at her badness.  There was a great deal of talk about whether the jury understood the concept innocent until proven guilty.  I hope the defense realizes the majority of people watching this trial probably now think she is guilty as sin and that presumption is gone.  I can only hope they continue doing the bang up job they've done so far.

I  hope this doesn't come across as harsh towards you, I am kinda mad at myself for having wasted time thinking up reasons for her badness.  I feel like in some sense I gave her the benefit of the doubt in believing anything she said was true and from now on I'm coming at it that the defense has to prove everything (glad I'm not on that jury).

I have an iPhone and I use skyfire with CNN live but it does go out for me sometimes.

Wow~ Nervous neck twitch in full action this morning!  Staring at the ceiling while totmom chats and a terrible grimace on his face.  He's looking a little grim this morning and really not happy.  Looks like he had the cocky knocked right out of him. IMHO

[Brandi]

Put this together to help with orientation/perspective.

is anyone else having problems with the live feed?

I take the pundits with a big grain of salt. All that matters is what the jury thinks. We are the jury.. The jury is made up of folks like us... and I think they have been stunned by all the info coming out. I doubt at this point they believe the molestation stories..

This morning they were talking about Zanny on HLN, and I was thinking to myself...  how messed up that is to find somebody at random, who fits with the fake story she's concocted, and accuse that person of stealing her child.   It's inexcusable, whether Casey killed Caylee, or whether she just found her dead of an accidental drowning.  If it WAS accidental, why take it to this extreme? That's why I find it ridiculous that anybody could possibly believe that Casey did all of this because she was abused. It just doesn't fly.

[Cappuccino]

Here comes the judge, here comes the judge

[KittyMom]

Jeffrey Hopkins...that lie is coming home to roost.

[ShariVari]

I have the wftv.com picture, but no sound?  what about you monkeys??

[SunnyinTX]

OK....the REAL Jeffery Hopkins!!  Great way to start the morning...with a BANG!!

[trimmonthelake]

trimmonthel....


Since topmom was not telling the truth,the pool would be the first thing to look at.
Just makes sense with a small child. 
Btw many, many ppl thought right off the bat that casey killed Caylee in the pool when this up coming tape was made.

Didn't LE take the filter from the swimming pool?  I believe I read that some where.

If it was an accident, why change "the story" many times and spend almost 3 years in jail.  Plus not taking the plea deal in oct 08. This doesn't make any sense to me.

P.S.  By taking a plea deal(at that time 08) casey would have to tell what happened.  Guys I bet if she did take it back then,she would not of told the complete truth.
 

I do not think she will ever tell the truth.

WHAT?

I thought this guy was a figment......?
