Caylee Marie Anthony MURDER TRIAL - DAY 26 - 6/23/11

[Cappuccino]

BOZO STFU and sit down.....my God he will never learn 

[cheeky monkey]

Last night I was wondering about the jury deliberation.   Can you imagine if they all vote guilty with the first vote then need to bide their time so it at least looks as if there was some conversation?

Terri

Local murder case took 5 minutes to come back guilty, including choosing a foreman.

and this jury is probably already ready to go home.

20 minute recess

[flamom]

  A new term is coined by WFTV.. Bobo was Ashtoned

[cheeky monkey]

Casey's shirt and sweater are pretty.  I wonder what they will look like at the end of the day after she has twisted and tied them all over her body.  I wish she would pull it over her head.

She has paid close attention to all testimony.“@gatorlvr2: @bobkealing is juror #4 still only paying true attention to the defense?”

Judge asked jury, "regular recess" or "special" jury said special. They are longer because some jurors go outside to smoke. #CaseyAnthony

Casey Anthony Murder Trial: Defense Expert William Rodriguez on his Way Out … Never Co-Founded the Body Farm … Where did WFTV get the Tip?

Can't get my head around this.
Why didn't they just STATE where/who the info came from.

With their 4th of July weekend probably ruined by sequestration needlessly with all these defense delays & debacle

PS Bozo he has now said no, 14 times in 8 ways!

I also noted that Cindy is wearing purple, Caylee's favorite color, I don't think Cindy is there for Casey anymore, she's there for her grandaughter, the truth and a little justice...at least, I hope so.

That necklace seems to be not only a memorial to Caylee but to throw it in Casey's face who Cindy is in court for during the trial - yea she'll try to spare Casey's life but she's sending another message

BOZO STFU and sit down.....my God he will never learn 

Being a Taurus, I know allll about being stubborn.    But I also learned for the most part, when to be stubborn.  Baez is stubborn for the sake of being stubborn.....even when he is constantly pummeled because of it.   He will never learn.

[KittyMom]

Love the commentary by Bill S!

[KCJackie]

I am so sick of KC exaggerating her aches and pains when she stretches, reaches for books, etc!!!  Poor little Princess. 

[seemeatthebeach]

Blowhole screws up again........managed to keep FBI expert S. Shaw powerpoint photos OUT that State wanted in as evidence in their CIC, then opens the door for them in the duhfense CIC.........LOSER!!!!!!

[Grandma2Maddie]

I would love to know why KC always takes her hands and puts them inside the sleeves of her sweaters!  Is she trying to wipe them clean?

9:00 Thur, June 23, 2011 Court is session.

First defense witness is Susan Mears.

Baez is up...........

Baez pleased the court and Ms Drane.  He is talking to the witness about the Disney bag, the bottle and the syringe with needle. Baez is introducing all 3 into evidence. 
Witness is excused.

Defense witness is Stephen Shaw.

Baez is up.......

The witness is again excepted as an expert in Trace Evidence. He works for the FBI.  Baez is showing him photos of hairs.  These are hairs used in a study.  They are antemortem hairs.  Baez is moving these photos into evidence. Sidebar....sidebar over.  You had many, many hairs in this study?  Over 600 hairs from living individuals.  What was the purpose of your study?  It was from a  thesis at John J. College, about hairs from living and hairs with postmortem banding.  The person who suggest this was the person who was doing their Master's thesis?  Yes.  You wanted to expand upon that?  Yes, I did.  The FBI testified about a postmortem banding exhibit.  Baez is showing the jury a big poster of the exhibit for banding. Baez is pointing out a hair on the exhibit that is one of the hairs that was initially determined to be postmortem banding, they later changed their mind.  Another examiner had a different opinion and when they conferred they determined it was not postmortem banding.  What knowledge did the individuals have of why they were doing this study?  They knew it was a test, they didn't know if there were any postmortem hairs at all.  They both identified all the postmortem hairs, one identified one as a  postmortem hair but after conferring they identified it as antemortem.  Another hair was identified as postmortem first and later identified it as antemortem.  Baez asks them if the banding looks the same, the witness says to him it looks different.  Next is another hair from a living person, stored in potting soil, there is apparent changes in it.  Next is another hair from a living person buried in potting soil for 100 days, there are apparent changes to it.  Next is a photo from a living person, submerged in water for 17 days, there is some apparent changes.  Is there any other ongoing studies at the FBI from living individuals?  No.  How many studies are you aware of of hair from living individuals? 3, it is an ongoing research item.  Now going to his report of Jan 21, 2009. Can you tell us what you were asked to do in this report?  I reported on hair and fibers that were in the hair mass, debris from skull and the duct tape.  What were your findings?  There were no hairs suitable for microscopic comparisons on the duct tape, there were head hairs on the duct tape they were consistent with hairs in the hair mat.  You also found some textile fibers on the duct tape, did you do any tests on them?  No.

Jeff is up........

The items Mr Baez showed you, those were a small number of items that you studied.  You did hair decomposed in hairs studied in cars and car trunks.  No hairs Mr Baez showed you were those hairs were they?  No.  The witness is going to show his power point study on the hairs.  He is explaining the power point, showing hairs before and after there exposure.  There is apparent changes in the hair but it is not a decomp band.  The hairs are put in many situations for differing periods of time.  No changes at all in some of the antemortem hairs.  Hairs stored in the trunk of a car for 202 days had no apparent changes.  The car was parked in direct sunlight, when there was sunny days for 7 months and no changes.  He is going through the slides, some do have some changes but they would not be considered postmortem bandings.  Insects effected hair roots in the hairs put outdoor.  The hair roots in some of Caylee's hair mat were also destroyed by insects.  For most postmortem banding, you should have the root mostly intact and the banding above that, it takes some training and the microscope to see postmortem banding.  You are looking for an opaque band above the root?  Without a microscope it is hard to fully appreciate postmortem root banding.  Some of these hairs did show some decomposition from conditions but never had decomp root banding.  He is showing one of the hairs that were initially thought to be root banding by one of his other analysts, who later upon further testing, said it was not.  The next one is the other one that was at first called root banding and later decided it was not. They do appear to have banding but under a microscope you can really tell that is is not postmortem root banding.  Now showing postmortem root banding and how apparent it is.  Did you have any hairs antemortem that were stored in a car that showed any signs of postmortem banding?  No.

Baez is up.........

Mr. Shaw the hairs you tested in the trunk of a car, did you put them in garbage?  No.  Did you test any hairs in garbage?  All of the hairs taken from living people in your power point had the number of days, right?  Right.  But all the hairs from postmortem people did not have the number of days?  They were not listed on the slides.  He is looking at his report. Every slide you have from a live person has the exact days and every slide you have from a dead person does not have how many days?  Correct.  He is asking about a slide and the witness is saying it was 3 months.  These were in Tennessee in the Winter time?  They are completely different than Florida in the summertime?  Yes.  The outside conditions are completely different?  Yes.  Next hair was 1 month old, Tennessee in the winter time.  Different temps?  Yes.  Next one store inside a house for 1 month.  Did they have heating?  I don't know. Was it also in Tennessee in the winter time?  Yes.  Next one was out doors in a trunk, in Tennessee in the winter time for a month.  Next one was stored in a house for 2 weeks, he doesn't know the temp.  All were in different environmental conditions from this case?  They were all Tennessee in the winter time.  Did your findings show that you got different reactions to different environmental conditions?  Yes.  There is no way you can replicate the hair in this case?  No.  Do you as a scientist, one day to be able to look at a hair and tell it is from a dead person?  I can do that now, it takes experience and it is well established now.  I do hope to do further studies.  You cannot say that right now a hair came from a dead person?  Yes.  Wouldn't you like to know for sure one day, if a hair came from a dead person?  We can already do that.  We want to learn more about postmortem banding.  You would like to learn more about what environmental indicators say about postmortem banding?  Sure, you want to find out everything.  This is well established through you and this thesis?  No, we deal with this routinely, we see postmortem banding often.  We have cases throughout different environments that I have yet to identify as postmortem banding.

Jeff is up...........

The studies that you based your opinions on are not just from Tennessee?  Correct.  They are from many places, many environments and receiving cases all over the world? Yes.  To this point the only thing that has pointed to postmortem root banding is a dead body?  Correct.

The witness is excused.   

Judge recess court for a special 20 min break.  10:20am

ITA!  I have thought the same thing several times!  She's playing for the camera and her audience.  It's hard work being a "celebrity". 
Why does her sweater have creases down the arms?  Does everyone iron their sweaters in Florida?  Or, is it brand new and still has the fold lines? LOL

[Terri]

Casey's shirt and sweater are pretty.  I wonder what they will look like at the end of the day after she has twisted and tied them all over her body.  I wish she would pull it over her head.

What have you been drinking today?
