Judge says if Cindy tries to take fifth the jury might be asked to disregard all Cindy's testimony

In that case, yup

AND..I take it Cindy is sitting in the courtroom now listening to all this controversy over her testimony...and getting clues on how the defense wants her to proceed from what Baez and Foghorn say?

 

Good point!

I certainly hope Cindy was not in the courtroom.

Janet.

Oh she was there and then up and walked out with some paper(s) in her hand

Knowing Cindy to go give the Gentiva folks a peice of her mind..she is crystal clear..she has been exposed for the liar and fraud that she is...I hope all her church buddies shun her on Sunday and turn their backs on her. 

George atleast had the guts to get up there and do the right thing...Cindy is done now.

She won't have a friend in the world ..who wants to be friends with a woman that would lie on the stand concerning the death of her grandchild..only a b!tch who had no thought for anyone but herself. 

She doesn't want to save Casey..she wanted to save her reputation and the way the family looked to others..she wanted to justify to the world her crazy actions for the past three years..and she did just that..no doubt in anyone's mind she is a lying b!tch just like her daughter.

You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but...huh..and she always has her own answer. Now what it is Cindy always says?  So help....MY GOD?

KBelichWFTV: The defense knew Cindy would dispute her work records which shows she worked with them behind the scenes [via Twitter]

How dare you go behind my back and obtain my work records???

Don't you know who I am? I am Cindy Anthony.

*** What did she think was going to happen? Honestly.

Omg Carpe lmfao!

[flamom]

Cindy left, wonder if she is trying to find proof she was home? 

Maybe she is fleeing the country to avoid her imminent arrest.  We can hope, can't we?

 

Cindy is probably tipping a few with Dr Sally Koitch while discussing how great she is at compartmentaliztion, denial and grief....

[Monkey King]

I wonder if she thinks she will be found guilty or if she really thinks she will get off. She will probably have no reactions when the verdict is read

i agree.  i don't think she will.  she is cold and hard. unless she lets it sink in when she hears guilty i don't think she'll cry.  now during sentencing, oh she'll need some serious tissues.

She knows whatever the decision, they'll appeal it.

Ya know, they can always close it to the public if this continues since it can be seen streamed

[Nut44x4]

If the jurors as for the can, when they are denied, will it be explained why they cannot smell it? I hope so; otherwise they might think it doesn't smell. (?)

good Q

[Thunder_Sis]

The cans get opened, I promise you the smell will linger and linger in the room for a long time. The jurors would ask to be moved to a different room because they would all be sick.

True.

i'm half asleep - what are they doing now? break?

I believe they have convinced her they have created reasonable doubt and she will be found not guilty....I do NOT know if it's true but the rumor has been floated and for months and months that JB has a deal for a book and made for TV movie deal ONLY if it goes through trial...regardless of the outcome. That is why he isn't too concerned about not being paid by the state.....it sure makes sense, cause I doubt he has many new clients

"Judges are not supposed to be potted plants" and with that #CaseyAnthony jury will NOT be allowed to smell cans back in evidence room

So do you think if Ashton didn't bring this up, the jury may have had the can opened during deliberation?

No..this is the same stance, the same case review to back his decision up, the judge has always taken with the cans from the first time that Jeff brought them up months ago. 
Really..I don't think they are needed at this point..and that does take away a certain "innocence " from the judges jury..and he is very protective of them.  They came to jury duty to find the defenant guilty or not guilty..not to get the chance to smell human decomp and never be able to forget that for life.  Some things just don't need to happen for the jury to convict her..and the judge feels that is one of them.

 I hope the jury likes the judge as much as he has done to protect them through out this trial.  After this is over they will see just what lengths he has gone to to make this as apinless as possible..knowing all they had to give up and put on hold to do jury duty for this murderess trial.

Well, here's the upside to cans not being opened: not an issue for appeal should she be convicted.

ITA, nothing like the smell of decomp hitting you smack in the gut first thing in the morning.

2:30pm Thurs, June 30, 2011 Court is in session. Jury is not in the courtroom.

Jeff says that the first witness is going to be Michael Vincent and they are going to want him to smell the can the carpet is in and testify to what it smells like.

Jeff says that the jury may to want to smell the evidence.  One or two of the jurors smelled the evidence already passed around to them.  We are going to ask a witness to smell the can and let the jury know what he is smelling.  It is rebutting that some of the defense experts said that there was no smell or is smelled like trash. Dr Furton testified that the smell was in the trash and not the car. He says that the defense continually tried to get the jury to think that the smell was coming from trash. 

The judge says that on the state's side they have had numerous people testify that it smelled like decomposition.  What does this rebut?

Jeff says what are we going to do if the jury asks to smell the can themselves?  Baez brings up a case and Jeff says that case is only one juror trying to explain what he knew.  If this jury decides they want to pop that can of evidence, why couldn't they?  Then it would be up to what each one of them smells.  Jeff is giving the judge examples of jurors using their olfactory senses.  To eliminate this coming up the state wants to bring in Michael Vincent to smell the can and tell them his expert opinion.

Baez is saying that this is not what the judge told the state to do.  They were to find case law supporting this smelling of this can.  What if jury number one knows what decomposition smells like and jury number seven does not?  This would significantly prejudice at this point.  We knew about this problem at jury selection and now the state is trying again to see if the judge has changed his mind?  Baez said under the Fairbanks case the defense had opened the door, that is not the case here.

Judge says that he found a Texas case that said the following, the question is not a new one, it has been a problem a great deal of times and it has caused a reversal a great deal of times.  This was with jurors tasting whiskey.  This is the case the judge told them about in jury selection.  Judge is citing more cases.  There are 2 cases in the state of Florida that deal with this issue.  He is talking about those cases, he is referring to them as jury experimentation.  In this case if the jury is allowed to go back and smell a can, what are they supposed to be smelling?  Are we asking them to be witnesses?  Are they to determine if it is trash or the scent of a decomposing body, in jury selection someone did say they had smelled the odor.  I can't remember if one of those jurors are on this jury.  How would the defense be able to cross examine that juror?  What if one has experience and says that's it, that is the odor of decomp.  That would violate Ms Anthony's 6th amendments right to confront that juror or cross examine that juror.  The court will make the ruling that piece of evidence will not go back to the jury, I am aware that I am to allow all evidence to go back but judges are not potted plants.  I will not allow any smell tests by any jurors.  There has been ample testimony to whether there is cutting edge science or voodoo science depending on which side you are on.  There have been many experts that have testified to what they smelled.  Mr Vincent will not be allowed to testify to the smell in the can.

Judge is taking a five minute break.

[Anna]

He told Jeff to sit down again. 

He wasnt rude, he realized Ashton thought he was going to ask him something. 

He never tells Bozo to sit down though. 

Bozo is so short the judge thinks he is already sitting!

 

[flutter1]

What if the cans don't smell???

There is carpet from the trunk in the cans with the decomp and they have been brewing anaerobically for 3 yrs   

Yeah...if they are air-tight cans, then it still smells.

Think about a can of paint.  Open it up five years later and it still smells like paint.
