Caylee Marie Anthony #183 03/04/11 - 3/07/11

Fairgrieve seems fairly likable as well as Huntington, although I think the state
will eat them for lunch if they do get to testify.

Dorothy Sims is a beeotch.

One parting comment, I am also disappointed in Baez' private smackdown by Judge Perry.  His very public obnoxious, rude, rebellious behavior, deserves a public correction session.  Not only as a deterrent to Mr. Baez, but also as to serve notice to any others thinking about "going over the hill".  It's called Respect For Authority and Baez doesn't have it and likely never will- if he hasn't learned it by his age. Ashton may or may not have been instructed to receive the apology (not that he needed the counsel, he's professional through and through). It's likely JP: read Baez the riot act in the presence of both the defense and prosecutions; informed Baez that he's used up his last chance; infomed both sides he will not tolerate any more personal attacks and stated this case will not be derailed or extended due to personal acrimony; warned that professional courtesy will be observed in his courtroom or their will be legal consequences; reminded Baez he's still subject to Bar inquiries; reminded Baez & Mason of civil lawyers looking for cause to sue them; and Baez would issue an immediate public apology to Ashton specifically.  Personally, I think JP has long tired of Baez throwing sand in Ashton's face, so to speak.  IMO, he didn't want to waste court time reprimanding him and thereby giving him attention (any attention to Baez= positive attention)...sort of like the class clown.  He was also severing Baez' ability to publicly whine "the Judge doesn't like me" or "they're trying to keep me down/they're picking on me because I'm Hispanic".  That's my take on it.  The proof of Baez' repentance will be in the pudding.  Let's see how long he goes before he personally attacks or twists the truth and blames LDB/Ashton/the state for his own incompetence or unwillingness to comply with court orders/motions.  We'll see.  JP is, once again, circumventing  any possible grounds for a mistrial.  I'm not worried, the State has their game on and Caylee will have the last word.  All MOO.

P.S. JP is not always going to do things the way I think they should be done.  However, his record,experience, and reputation speak for themselves.  Me, on the other hand, I've never been a judge.  LOL!

I thought it was funny that right before he grovels for forgiveness to JBP, Linda gave those motions about not allowing anybody to call anybody liers or talk about leaks, etc.

SOMEONE   from the hinky posted that she  had  been reading the replay of live blog on wftv they saying CM being treated for prostate cancer.
I was unable to find it? does anyone know? is this why he has been ill and sluggish pale looking lately aside from having larengitis?

I am going to refrain from commenting at this time, because I hate for ANYBODY TO GET CANCER, and I do not want to come off as a completely unfeeling person, but I will only say, if true, all I can think of is "what goes around comes around."

[ZooMomology]

I missed where Judge Perry admonished Casey Ho for being late to court..darn it! I would have loved to have seen that!
Cindy must not have gotten her clothes to her on time then? I was told that Cindy brings her clothes to her each court appearance...No wonder she always makes her look so dumpy..Casey would never wear those clothes otherwise...Course she couldn't wear the pole dancing clothes to court either...

Hi, Gypsy.  I've never been in a criminal court but I have been in court for civil cases--in fact have been a litigant a couple of times.  But I have watched Court TV in the past and in all of the pretrial hearings I can recall seeing, the accused wears jail clothing and does so on any occasion when the jury is not present.  Remember OJ Simpson and his orange prison duds?  To me, this is just another example of preferential treatment for the Anthonys.  Casey should have to wear her inmate clothing until a jury is seated and the trial begins.  I recall that Baez asked Judge Strickland for permission for her to wear civilian clothes because her prison clothing might prejudice a prospective jury. But if that were the case, it would be prejudicial for any other accused as well.  IMO Judge Perry should have ordered that henceforth, Casey would appear in jail clothing, since it seems so very difficult for Cindy to get her clothes to her in time.

Wonder how the flag outfit would go over?

The judge should have said since this problem with getting the clothes here on time has happened twice..she now wear her prison clothes so that we do not have this problem again.

Perry is really bending over backwards to make sure KC and her lawyers don't screw up.  Personally, I would love to see and hear Baez schooled...but..I will to see Casey put away for life with no chance of appeal because she has no grounds.  I could not stand to watch this circus happen all over again simply because Baez is a jerk.

Oh nuts.  I got in your box ZooMomology.  I know how to post correctly.  I don't know how I did that.  Sorry

It's okay, I do it too.  No problemo.

Thank God she's a defense witness.
She's boring, has no opinion, and makes no sense.

After ALL that screeching about the junk science of the scientists@Oak Ridge and their use of gas chromatography and all of a sudden bozo is not agreeing not to contest any of it?  Something is up here. Either he found out there was no way to dispute their work or he agreed to do that if the prosecution would drop the contempt charges. I knew he did not have a leg to stand on disproving the science but he has ranted on and on about it for 3 years. I did notice that was written up right after their "conference" with the judge so I am thinking it was the contempt charges.

I thought I read at the very end of his official court statement that he was not arguing the science, but the results.  I could be wrong though, his scribbling is beyond anything i could imagine an officer of the court doing.

Body Language and Communication Wise Jose Baez Wins Over the Prosecution Team With His Apology

Before I begin, I must say that both Jose Baez and Linda Drane Burdick have done an outstanding job in terms of presentation to the court and questioning their witnesses.

Linda Drane Burdick is truly a seasoned professional. She is a pleasure to watch as an attorney. She is articulate, well spoken, has great delivery , a well modulated and controlled voice pattern that makes her easy to listen to and presents herself with the utmost class and decorum. There is no doubt that if you were going to be represented by someone you would feel extremely confident having her as your attorney.

I do not agree at all about Bozo.  Next.

[can]

Now we know.  When Judge Perry issues orders, he doesn't really mean it especially if you're an Hispanic attorney with the first case of this magnitude that a Hispanic attorney has ever had in the whole history of the world and maybe Mars, too. I've come to the conculsion that being a judge is a whole lot like being a parent.  You should mean what you say and say what you mean.  And follow through.  A chubby little face saying, "I'm sowwy," shouldn't get him off the hook.  Baez has consistantly failed to meet deadlines, insulted the SA office and individuals on the SA team, accused Orlando LE of lying and setting Casey up, and instead of a little jail time, he says, "I'm sowwy," and that makes it all ok.  Well, not in my book.  I am so disappointed in the judge.  I thought Strickland was bad but now I wish for the good old days.

Perry's orders mean nothing.  And I think we'll see this repeated during the trial. Perry's forgiving Baez and, I suspect, ordering Ashton to accept his apology and  drop the motion for contempt charges portends more of the same, and it ain't good for Lady Justice. IMO.   

Babybear,
As a firm believer in consequences for one's actions, I am disappointed.
Perhaps there's something I don't understand.

It just doesn't seem right that JP could order Ashton to drop the motion and accept Baez' apology.  Is it possible JP might have suggested, for whatever reason?__________and Ashton complied?

Been riding the rafters late night for awhile, no time to post lately.  THANK YOU to everybody for the links, pics, and ongoing commentary! I really appreciate it!  Wow!  What a ride!  This is only the pre-game too.

The real "Dream Team" here is LDB, Jeff Ashton, and the State's Attorney's office.  The prosecution team was chosen by God for Caylee's sake and it's obvious every time they step up to bat. Baez, Mason, the Anthonys, Jeremy Lyons, and the rest of Casey's crew had better turn while they still have time.  Smackdowns from JP are going to look like a vacay compared to a second before God.  God is not mocked; whatever a man sows that will he also reap. He's got a particular soft spot for widows and children and He's very clear in His Word about defending them.

My take on George's testimony: Baez et al. are building their mitigating circumstances "defense" for the Penalty phase, based on what they will portray as George's obsession with Casey.  IMO, they'll use the molestation allegations, George's confessed willingness to do "anything immoral or illegal for Casey", George's desperate letters to Casey and his pleading to see her alone, George's affair with River, his "gambling" addiction, his anger management issues, his relationship with Cindy, etc. to throw him under the bus.  Also (IMO), they'll use Cindy's MySpace post, her letters to Casey, her testimony, and Casey's friends' testimonies to paint Cindy as obsessed with Caylee and insanely jealous of Casey.  All of which may be fine with Cindy because she's 100% vested in saving Casey to save face.  George, on the other hand, has difficulty with "saving Casey at all cost".  Hence, his choked , emotional admission that he would do anything immoral or illegal for Casey.  IMO, he teared up not because Casey means so much to him, but because he knew what agreeing to say this and saying it was going to cost him personally.  Not to trivialize this is any way, but if it was just a matter of molesting Casey (as opposed to murdering Caylee or aiding and abetting Caylee's murder), I don't think George would be going along for the ride.  The worst (public outing of info) is already over.  IMO, he's been badgered/guilted into thinking this is the only way to save Casey and himself and he owes it to her.

As far as Cindy goes, IMO Baez is setting her up for Penalty phase mitigating circumstances too.  He'll use her MySpace post, her letters to Casey, her media tours, her testimony, and Casey's friends' testimonies to paint her as obsessed with Caylee, using money and goods to manipulate/emotional abuse and physical violence to intimidate a young, poor single mother, and get her child.  He'll use the protestor confrontations and Cindy's jailhouse videos to document Cindy's explosive temper and aggressiveness. He'll tell the court Casey is a "product of her environment", compounded by years of psychological/emotional/physical/sexual abuse within the clannish family, and "acted out on learned behaviors".  It would not surprise me in the least!  It appears Cindy's competitive, narcissistic (IMO), proud, and confrontational nature will be fodder for the defense, as she goes under the bus as well. Notice today she did "better" on the stand and earned Casey's "approval" (a slight acknowledgement).  How pathetic!

Lee is interesting to say the least.  The most seemingly normal of the clan seems divided between defending the family, protecting Casey, and protecting himself. I suspect it's been a fence he's straddled most of his life.  It's clear from past interviews that Cindy relies on him emotionally to hold this volatile family together.  I say this without malice aforethought, IMO Lee likely has Asperger's (per his seeming fixation with Star Wars, inappropriate laughter and facial expressions, lack of appropriate familial boundaries, awkwardly unnatural/rigid? stance and gainliness, awkard manner of speaking in rhythm/tone/inflection, "Little Professor" attitude of superiority, seeming social awkwardness, seeming to prefer solitary situations like online gaming and parking cars, and his seeming unawareness of societal norms like dressing professionally for court and communicating with the defendant in the courtroom/laughing while holding an obviously distraught and crying Caylee in that disturbing pic/Lee's advertisements for an unpaid personal assistant slave at the beginning of this saga).  IMO, Casey intuitively recognized Lee's "weaknesses" and likely exploited them to the fullest extent. I'm slightly on the fence on the molestation allegations by Casey.  For someone who provides tons of details, her allegations noticeably lacked detail.  I'm inclined to say, "Didn't happen.".  However, I could see Lee in that socially awkward, not understanding normal boundaries way possibly attempting something.  I'm more inclined to believe Casey was the instigator though. These are strictly my opinions, not a diagnosis of any sort, merely based on observation/statement anaylsis/research.  Do I trust Lee? No.  Do I feel sorry for him somewhat?  Only to the extent I believe he may have Asperger's (diagnosed or undiagnosed) and was parented by two highly dysfunctional parents in an extremely dysfunctional and somewhat paranoid family unit.  They all have been keeping each other's secrets for a long time.  I think Lee became Casey's "keeper" long ago.  It's likely she, at some point, became his defender socially, solidifying their bond.  It's interesting how Cindy & George seem to treat Lee with kid gloves, having different expectations of him than of Casey.  For two peole who are proud of their professions (Nursing and former LE), they don't seem to have high expectations for Lee. All my opinion.

Sorry for the long post...I've been saving up!    Got to run-Life calls!  Take good care of yourselves, we're in this for the long haul for Caylee!

O/T:  Sorry I haven't been responding or posting much guys!  It's been wild around here, as you can see I'm still in Christmas attire. Dealing with lots of family extended issues/illnesses/increased work load for the last 3 months. 

Good to see you again.
I'm a bit confused as to why Baez asked Geo. if he would to anything "immoral or illegal to help Casey" - Is this to help or hinder George later on? hmnn.

Day 3 of Casey Anthony hearings - Motion to find defense in contempt dropped
By Jacqueline Fell and Janelle Jordan, Team Coverage
Last Updated: Friday, March 04, 2011 10:39 PM
ORLANDO --

This week's hearings in the Case against Casey Anthony were expected to be over by Thursday.

But things haven't been going as quickly as planned, and potentially pivotal testimony entered day three.

Friday ended up being a shorter day in court, as Chief Judge Belvin Perry began determining what evidence can and cannot be used in Casey's upcoming trial for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

It has been a tense three days of testimony from Orange County investigators and members of Casey's own family.

Lillian Glass latest article.....Pfft, way off imo.  The audience was not hanging their heads in embarrassment for Jose, they were simply taking notes. geesh
And since when does a forced apology come off as being sincere?  Jose was saving his arse and that's all it was.  We WILL see Jose repeat the same actions that we have seen in the past. It's just the way Baez is. Period.  moo
