Caylee Marie Anthony- MURDER TRIAL/JURY SELECTION - DAY 2 - 5/10/11

[Gypsy DD]

I made it to the jury selection today! It was very surreal to see everything in person...wow! Oh by the way-when Judge Perry asked if someone approached them to talk about the case..ALL but 10 raised their hand and they had all the jurors wait in the hallway together along with the spectators and  I heard the potential jurors talking about how they saw this on the news and how GUILTY they thought she is!!!

It must have been fascinating to be there in person and see all these individuals.

can Casey fire Baez now? wouldn't that delay the trial so that she could get a new lawyer who would have to get up to speed on the case....wonder if this is all in Casey's ill conceived diabolical plan to delay her trial or to get an appeal ?

Oh yes, the infamous "in the first three minutes" . . . then why spend all this money on duhfense strategy if it can be explained so easily?

can't wait to hear this one...Mason is blustering of course as always

[sunshine12]

i would not be at all suprised if we see a motion by the defense within the next 24 hours to find a new jury location

[Curly]

Defense attorneys Jose Baez and Cheney Mason are confident in their defense strategy for Casey Anthony.

Lol!  They're SO confident that they won't give up trying to get Dr. Vass disqualified.
Gimme a break.

[akmom]

I don't know, I have wracked my brain for any conceivable (or inconceivable) thing possible that the defense can claim.  Even gone so far as to think that maybe Casey will claim that George or Cindy ran over Caylee without knowing it and that she could not bear to tell them and hid her.  Or that one of them did kill her but completely blanked it out and so she has taken the fall for it.  Of course, these scenarios are so far out there and I cannot think anyone would actually believe them, and they are so totally impossible considering everything we know.  But I honestly can't think of anything else they could possibly come up with.

[Northern Rose]

IMO, with all the publicity the case has gotten, the appropriate question to potential jurors should simply be, "Can you dismiss all that you've seen or heard through media outlets and judge this case soley based upon the evidence presented during this trial?"

I have no doubt that will be asked CBB....but I am wondering where?   I wonder if JP will take the case back to Orlando...might as well.

I have no doubt there will be another change venue motion.  I say that they move it out of state.  I agree with HJBP that this trial will only happen once.  Texas would be a good choice.  They have the DP there and are not scared to use it.  all JMO

WARNING - REMINDER

I HAVE GOTTEN SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT INAPPROPRIATE POSTS.  PLEASE NO JOKING OR SMART ALEC REMARKS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH.  THE THREAD AND FORUM ARE TOO BUSY.  I KNOW WITH THE DEFENSE TEAM AND THE ANTHONYS THAT IT'S HARD NOT TO BUT PLEASE...RESIST THE TEMPTATION. 

IF YOU SEE A POST YOU FEEL IS INAPPROPRIATE, CLICK ON THE "REPORT TO MODERATOR BUTTON".  LEAVE THE MODERATING TO THE MODERATORS.  QUOTING THE INAPPROPRIATE POSTS JUST MAKES IT THAT MUCH WORSE.  TIA.

I have been snarky today.  I will try to control my sarcasm.

does anyone have any thoughts as to why Cindy and George are not there for this part of the trial? they fought so hard to be there and now they don't show up..this is all part of the trial imo...are they strangely thinking that Casey will miss them and want them there lol?
I think that Casey doesn't want them at the trial because like others have said, they will hear everything then..everything.  maybe more than they want to hear.

probably can't afford to go and stay in a hotel for a week or more, rent a car, pay for food etc....and I think they would be a terrible distraction....JMO

[Monkey King]

Personally, I don't think it matters much where they have this trial. 

Even with all the set backs and delays, Casey isn't a free person, she's still in jail.

The evidence will speak for itself regardless of the geographical location.

Better to have all these issues resolved before proceeding anyway, they don't want to lay the groundwork for a mistrial or an appeal.

[Magic Eyes]

I just saw that video, I was standing next to her in the hallway when she was saying how creepy it was to see Casey . Casey is very tiny in person, it is very chilling to see her with that angry look on her face just staring at the walls, no eye contact was made to any jurors. Mason seemed out of it, when the Judge asked if the state had any objections the state would rise and say"no objections your honor", then he would ask the defense and they would just sit there and say "no objections", they showed no respect ! I looked at the bailiffs and they would roll their eyes at each other. I sat behind Kathy Belish, I wanted to tell her how much we all love her, but I refrained and was a good little monkey..lol

Welcome to the cage Airlinemonkey, thank you so much for being our monkey on the scene.  I find it so hard to believe that they let the jury pool and the spectators mingle together.  Were you amazed to be around people that could eventually be on the jury?  This should of never happened in the first place, they need to fix this.  The potential jurors should be kept separate from everyone else by any means possible.  Then the first thing they should be told is to not discuss ANY case with each other.  General chit-chat would be allowed but they have enough deputies and court personnel there to make sure they are not discussing court cases.  As much as I respect Kathi Belich, I hate to see her interviewing that woman.  The woman already knew that a jury for a murder case had been compromised and she should of kept her remarks to herself.  The smirk on Baez's face made me fill even more sick to my stomach, he won nothing.  He wants justice for his client and he is happy to see any jurors be dismissed?  What if one of those, just one of those, could be like Klaas and still not be tainted?  He may have just lost the one juror that could of saved his client's life.  I would have to say that I could never give Casey a fair trial, my heart and my mind have been convinced that she killed Caylee for a very long time.

Hugs, Magic

As for George and Cindy~ aren't we setting our standards a little high? 

I mean, we're expecting dysfunctional people to act normal.

[monkalicious]

Hey, Monks...only got to watch a little of the jury selection...Mom heading toward another crisis,(infection, maybe sepsis, poor thing,) but I did get to see where the Judge was questioning the single mom about child care.  All I could think of was, why not ask Casey to recommend someone...I believe Zanny the Nanny is available.

Yep, can't afford to go, because they just dropped $200 in Casey's commissary acount!  I do think they would be a distraction also...I wouldn't put it past them to do something to taint the jury pool...if not verbally, with a tshirt or a button.

Prayers are with you monka.  It's verifying to watch how none of these parents phase her, nor do the pet owners that are more concerned about their pets than Casey was for her child. No reactions.  I did see her sort of quickly show compassion when a guy said he cared for his grandma who was battling breast cancer.  But IIRC, Casey has a soft spot with Breast Cancer, or maybe it's all just a ploy as she was concerned for herself with a supposed lump in one of hers.  Anyway, for the most part, stone cold, and acting (crying) on cue.  Heck today when she thought a new group of jurors were coming in and all the charges were to be read to them, she got out the tissue in preparation for scene 2.  moo   Take care monka!

I've been watching some of the videos from jury selection from this am.
I'm finding it difficult to hear the state and defense since they turned there mics. off.
The should have to get up and go to the podium since the microphones are shut off because of the duhfense claiming that their
conversations were posted on the internet.
I was hoping JP would ask them to refer him to the websites where their conversations were posted.
