Casey Anthony Trial
 

Because Brianna and I need a place to discuss it.

I'm finding both the legal maneuvering and the forensic testimony fascinating.

Of course, I am experts in both of these things because I watch Law and Order, CSI, and Bones.

What I do wonder is if there is anything on the duct tape that would indicate either drowning (presence of chlorine, anyone?), which is the defense's theory, or anything to show presence of chloroform, or human biological products (vomit, spit, whatever) that prove that the duct tape was over the mouth or nose of a living child.

My own theory of the case is that Casey wanted to party and that she got into the habit of drugging Caylee and leaving her somewhere (including in the trunk of the car) while she did so. Given the Orlando heat, decomposition could have been accelerated, and I would even suspect that she left the trash bag in the car in hopes that the stench would be traced to that rather than toting around a dead child.

I found the "daddy molested me and forced me not to report that my baby drowned accidentally" competely freakish.

Even the baddest of ex-cops would report an accidental drowning, and know that nobody would be charged in such an instance.

Oh, and Casey lies.

Like a cheap rug.

That is an interesting theory re: Casey drugged Caylee so she could party. And, giving major props to your credentials (TeeVee and otherwise) I think that wanting to party is just too...normal and banal a reason for Casey to do anything. 99.9% of kids her age want to party. Casey's pathology goes so much deeper IMHO. And I'm looking at Cindy here. That woman has major, major issues.

I assume you've seen Caylee's bedroom? I mean, come ON. I love my kids, too, but they never, ever had shit the way Caylee had shit. The entire home was a Barbie Dream Castle and Casey hadn't been pulling in a paycheck for what, two years? She pretended to go to work at Universal for TWO years???? That, my friend, is dedication to a lie. I don't think I could fake anything for two years. She got up, dressed, pretended to go to work...and had zero money? How'd she do that? How did she pay to party? What did Cindy and George think she was doing with her (nonexsistant) paychecks? She certainly couldn't have been buying all that shit for Caylee.

And did Cindy and Geo. know what the defense was going to do - say Geo. molested Casey? I find that hard to swallow - that they would be okay with that and Geo. has denied it.

Casey is a spooky psychopath but Cindy is right there behind her. And we still don't know who Caylee's father was. I heard 7 men have been tested. Does Casey know who the father is and just can't say?

And it looks like Cindy and George would've taken care of and loved Caylee in the event that Casey just up and walked out of her life and ran away. I mean, if Casey really wanted to be shed of the little girl, she could've just left. What was keeping her there in Cindy's home? Casey could've shacked up with any number of willing men...sugar daddied her way out. She would've known Caylee would be well taken care of. Why not just leave? Coz she wanted to hurt Cindy. She has major hatred for Cindy. George is just a pawn in this entire game. It's between Casey and her mom.

Time for the Wood chipper again ,
Feet first this time

I just had Doctor Drew on as background while I was searching and he said something really interesting about Zanny the Nanny that hadn't occurred to me, but is close to something that I'd been guessing about ... that Casey was drugging the kid, stashing her somewhere, and going to party.

It's maybe not Zanny. It's Xanny.

Xanax.

How 'bout that shit ...

I'll pass on the wood chipper, my man. Maybe you could say "head last" or something?

I was hoping for a more peaceful exit, you know quietly in my sleep, like Grandpa, not all hysterical and shrieking like the passengers in his car.

j/k have to agree; it couldn't be slow enough for that broad.

You've been reading James Joyce again haven't you? You must have a little Irish in you.

In addition to the whiskey, yes, I do. Come by it natural-like.

Ha, ha, ha,.... they should have tazzed the MoFo's. :lol:

Wow - great catch! Zanny the Nanny= Xanny the Nanny!

This case is getting weirder by the minute.

What are your thoughts here? Borderline or full blown psychopath?

Sociopath. I can find things to like about borderlines.

People are objects to her.

Imagine how she'd treat them if they wore lipstick?

yeah, I get the feeling that Casey thinks the only real person, the only reality, is Casey.

Her lawyer was threatened with contempt today. Judge Perry no likey her attorney.

ETA: Like Casey's tatt? She got a tatt during the time Caylee was missing - Bella Vita. Beautiful Life.

According to testimony from the tattoo artist, Casey was cheerful, happy, bought pizza for everyone in the tattoo shop, and told the tattoo artist all about her daughter, promising to bring her by to meet the guy.

One eesy-weensy problem ... Caylee was already dead, according to the Defense's crazy accidental drowning, Grampa hid the body theory.

And as a little aside ... wrapping the body in her favorite Winnie-the-Pooh blanket is consistent with a family (usually parent) killing rather than a stranger killing. According to Law and Order and CSI, anyway.

Yeah, I remember reading that in a book by an FBI profiler

re favorite blanket--

why wouldn't a stranger use a favorite blanket? wouldn't the most readily available blankets be the favorite ones? assuming the wrapping happens where the kid sleeps.

keep in mind, I've seen enough Law and Order and CSI to fill the time between the end of dinner and bedtime about twice.
