Casey Anthony Trial

Posted: May 30, 2011

They did a whole day of going over the trial and testimony on HLN today. Just wondered if anyone here buys the defense story that the child drowned in the pool but because Casey was sexually abused by her father she showed no emotion and did not report it.

Watching her string of lies, theft and partying, I can't imagine how she is going to get out of this even if a member of the jury believes her behavior was because of sexual molestation by her father.

What a crazy story. Does anyone believe it?

I have followed this case since the beginning - and I have gone SM

back and forth on how the baby died. If there was a drowning, her father had NOTHING to do with it. He was not there. I truly believe Ms. Casey is a sociopath and I just hope this will come to light as the trial progresses. *****

Why the duct tape if the child died of drowning? - No way that makes sense.

[ In Reply To ..]
Given the defense attorney hasn't got much to work with to save his client, he has gone to crazy lengths to try to save her which will backfire because it's based on more senseless Casey Anthony lies. Why wouldn't anyone call 911 if she died an accidental death by drowning. Who disposed of the body and prepared it with duct tape over the mouth? Why duct tape on a drowning victim? Why wouldn't George want to give her a proper burial if this was an accidental drowning? Who rents movies with their boyfriend the night of an "accidental drowning death" that afternoon of their "beloved" child?

This is senseless and without logic defense.

I can't get off that "duct tape" issue or the chloroform issue either. If I remember correctly from our local news, they said something to the fact that the duct tape had a sticker or something on it which was also a sticker that they retrieved from the Anthony house.

I'm curious as to what the coroner (Dr. G.) has to say about the duct tape. I have a sick feeling in my stomach that Caylee was alive when that duct tape was applied. I hope I'm wrong and hope that the coroner will be able to say definitely.

It is going to be interesting to hear what that Texas bail bondsman has to stay. He came down here to get her out of jail on the condition that she would actively participate in searching for Caylee with him, and the Texas Equasearch (?so) group. I can remember him saying something to the fact that once he got her out she was more interested in sleeping and ordering pizza than going to look for her like the rest of Florida was.

Like I told my husband, we don't have kids, but if my little dogs were ever missing, don't expect me to be home or work or anything until I find them.

There are some crazy people in this world and she is definitely one of them!

I don't believe it at all. sm - RoadRunnerMT

She searched out the chloroform and all and the duct tape. Don't even believe the molestation from her father, which in itself even if true is no excuse for murder. I think she was mad at her mother and wanted her freedom so she took her baby girl's life. She purposely made up all the stories, which is not insanity, and did not report it for a month. It's premeditated in my opinion.

I don't believe any of the stuff about a drowning or Casey's alleged sexual abuse. I think that the defense lawyers are just trying any angle that they can.

Wasn't the earlier thought that Casey had chloroformed Caylee in order to put her to sleep so that Casey could party with her friends uninterrupted, but accidentally overdosed her?

I also agree that Casey is sociopathic or is emotionless, without remorse, for some other reason, but not because of sexual abuse. She may not have had a healthy relationship with her parents, but it seems to me that they doted on her too much. In that family dynamic, I find it hard to believe that any sexual abuse would have taken place without Casey's mother knowing about it.

Maybe Casey didn't know where the baby's body was dumped as she had someone else do it, someone other than her parents.

I doubt that we'll ever fully know the truth of what actually happened.

Casey is Crazy & so is her attorney - Lies, lies and more lies

If Casey was molested/abused by her father (and brother) why did she leave her child in his care. For that matter why did she continue to live with George as an adult.

If the child drowned, why was there duct tape over the child's face?

Why wouldn't Casey or George call 911 if the child died accidentally?

Who can tell the truth of what Casey says given the lie she lived?

What mother who witnessed the death of her daughter would go out with her boyfriend to rent movies at Blockbuster that same evening, no matter what the cause of death? Could you forget the sight of your lifeless child ever?

Casey did not report the child missing. - Her mother did.

[ In Reply To ..]
There is a misconception Casey waited 30-31 days to report her child missing. The only person who reported her child missing is grandmother Cindy. If not for Cindy, Casey probably would not have mentioned her daughter was missing and the police would not be involved.

Casey Anthony is so cold, I honestly believe that she is one that (sm) - anon

has no soul. Her mom is testifying, which is absolutely tearing this woman apart, she is crying on the stand, shaking, because she knows that her testimony is virtually helping to put the nail in Casey's coffin. Casey sits there stone-faced, no tenderness in her eyes, no look of sadness on her face, the majority of the time. At times she does appear to be "upset" but I so wish I could be in the court room and be close to enough to tell if they are real tears or not. This girl absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. I hope that she pays dearly for what she did or did not do for that sweet little girl. Even if she did not cause Caylee's death she was her mother, it was her responsibility to take care of Caylee and regardless of what Casey's friends have testified to, the bottom line is that Caylee is dead and in my opinion, that's definitely not being a "good" mother.

I agree with all of the above... however... sm - alias

everyone seems to have forgotten, including the police, prosecution attornies, defense attornies, everyone, that in the past it had been made mention that "Zanny the Nanny" was in reference not to a person, but to the medication of Xanax. She would drug the child to put her to sleep so that she could party. That should be Xanny the Nanny", I guess. why is that not mentioned any longer?

I also believe the chloroform is going to be the most significant nail in her coffin. I feel badly for Cindy Anthony. I watched part of that testimony over the weekend and watched Casey Anthony become tearful, but only out of anger at her mother. I read her lips as much as I could. Her tears were anger tears towards what her mother was saying on the stand, not out of concern for her child.

OMG did anyone hear her first jail call to her mother? - GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't believe in the death penalty but in this case, I could kill Casey Anthony myself. She is so hateful, so foul, so selfish. Her attitude will hang her and if not the jury isn't paying attention. Casey Anthony is a Bad Seed through and through. No hope for her redemption.

Did her mother enable Casey? - Are Cindy's tears of regret

[ In Reply To ..]
After listening to Cindy during the phone call from jail handle her daughter with kid gloves when Casey treated her with crazy unfounded disrespect I am wondering if Cindy, by ignoring Casey's lies, theft, disrespect, kept growing this monster daughter and there were signs of insanity/personality disorder years ago that Cindy ignored.

I think this woman did as much as she could with her daughter - that's where all the tension comes from

[ In Reply To ..]
Good lord, her daughter is a grown woman. My mother doesn't know all of my friends and wouldn't have any idea who was real and who I might be making up. Cindy Anthony tried helping her daughter all of her life. I would assume that Cindy had her own life to live after Casey became an adult. This is the think I'm talking about, one bad seed in the family and then the whole family is labeled dysfunctional. I personally think there are some people you cannot help or change no matter what you do and I don't believe Cindy Anthony could have changed her daughter no matter what she did for her. She would have still ended up being the same person. Some people are just born they way they are. For pete's sake her dad is a retired police officer. I don't believe for a second he abused her and I also believe they both (George and Cindy) tried to raise their daughter just like the rest of us to be a productive and law abiding citizen. It just didn't take with this one. I believe Cindy Anthony regrets not having taken that little girl away from Casey before she could do her harm. It's hard to admit your own kid is evil, but I don't think the woman thought she was a saint. I'm sure she had no idea what her daughter was capable of doing. You don't know it's a lie until you find out differently. A lot of these lies didn't come out for Cindy until Casey killed her daugher.

Cindy Anthony - Enabler or victim?

[ In Reply To ..]
Cindy was treated badly by Casey. Casey stole from her parents and grandparents. She was caught in lies. Why didn't her parents (Cindy) call her out?

Even now during court hearings her mother won't tell the truth about Cindy. Up to six weeks ago in spite of all the lies that were exposed, Cindy was looking for Zanny the Nanny according to her testimony.

I think Cindy's tears are of regret that she didn't call out and confront Casey. Caylee may still be alive if she did.

Oh Pleeeeeese, I have a 13-year-old daughter!! - and I cannot believe that you're saying

[ In Reply To ..]
Cindy might have been able to prevent this. Maybe if the father of the baby had married Casey, he could have prevented this. There are thousands of things that someone could have done (not just Cindy but other people in this woman's life) that might have prevented Caylee's death. And I'm sure Cindy did call this child out. I know I have on many occasions and I get a daughter who resents me for that and fights me tooth and nail on every bit of punishment that I dole out. That would be my guess as to why there was so much tension between the two of them. The love/hate relationship existed for a reason, because mom (Cindy) was trying to show her child the way (meaning how to be responsible). I know a couple of habitual liars. They're not on trial for murder though. Besides, I get so sick of this, "It had to be the ways the kid was raised" cramp as an excuse for their bad behavior. I also have a nephew by marriage who is now 17 years old and in and out of the juevenile court system because of his personality issues. He still hasn't changed even after all the so called "professional help."

When did Casey start this lying and stealing? - That would be the question.

[ In Reply To ..]
When you raise a child with signs of personality disorder or mental illness you need to get help. I wonder about Casey's background. Did she all of a sudden start lying and stealing? It's hard to believe such an accomplished liar that Casey has proven to be just developed this skill. And if she started stealing from the family before this incident, that would be a problem that needed to be addressed early on.

By overlooking certain behaviors because you don't want to believe your child is dysfunctional, you may pay the price later on like Cindy and George Anthony are now.

No, it's not believable - my thoughts

[ In Reply To ..]
I watched it at first, then felt like it was a waste of brain cells. She is pathetic. I don't have children, but the thought of what she did to her beautiful little trusting child sends chills through me. She's wasting everyone's time and money on something she knows she did. She's a coward who won't fess up to what she did and is trying to play a victim roll. SHE'S NOT THE VICTIM. That poor little sweet girl is the victim. People need to remember her. Remember what she must have been thinking while this was happening to her. How absolutely horrible this evil monster did something like that to a sweet and beautiful little girl. It breaks my heart to know that I was never able to have a child no matter how hard I tried. I would have loved that little girl more than you can know and this evil monster did that to her.

I don't get it. You don't want the child then give him or her to someone who does.

She will burn in hell for what she did. Sorry if that sounds harsh but that's how I feel. People like her make my stomach turn and the hair on my neck stand up looking at her. She's evil beyond words and she disgusts me beyond words.

I've been watching from day one. It's a shame that Casey is so dysfunctional - that her parents have been labeled

[ In Reply To ..]
as a dysfuctional family. It seems here brother made out okay. I don't believe anything that Casey says. She is a pathological liar!! Seems the mother has been trying to teach this girl for a long time and nothing has worked. I don't believe anyone but Casey knew her daughter was dead because she is the one who killed her. I believe she acted alone. Don't believe the abuse story one bit. They are trying to prevent the death penalty, but in this case, I think it is warranted.

Oh yeah, my BF and I think she drugged the kid so she could party and - that is how she died alone in the car

[ In Reply To ..]
while Casey was in a bar having fun. The baby sitter did do it, only it wasn't the Zanny the nanny, it was the drugs she gave her kid and the duct tape she put over her mouth and whatever else she used to restrain her so no one would know she was in the car alone. She is evil, evil, evil!!!! She was afraid of what her mom would say about her going out, so looks like she found a new babysitter for sure so she wouldn't have to hear what an unfit mother she is (it's obvious to me every word from Cindy Anthony on this subject was probably true).

Never thought of this but that is probably why - she abandoned the car.

[ In Reply To ..]
She drugged Caylee, put her in the trunk and went out partying. After she discovered she overdosed the child and she died she had the odor in the trunk and needed to dispose of the body in the trunk. She probably borrowed the shovel to dig a shallow grave after she prepped the body and sent her kid off in the plastic bag with her favorite blanket and put little hearts on top of the duct tape.

My husband has said this same thing for a long time - RubySoho

[ In Reply To ..]
I initially tried to give her the benefit of whatever doubt I could, assuming perhaps the baby drowned in the pool while Casey was passed out in the house and, when she found her, she went into some sort of meltdown state and tried to make it look like kidnapping gone bad.

My husband isn't so quick to give her that benefit (neither am I now; however, early in the case I think I was trying to rationalize her behavior). He agrees with the theory to which you and your husband subscribe, that she knocked her out with Nyquil or something stronger and stuffed her in the trunk so she could party while Caylee slept.

If I recall correctly, when the coroner's report came out, wasn't it negative for any water in the baby's lungs? I seem to recall that was one of the reasons I stopped trying to give the shrew the benefit of the doubt; I believe although decomposed her lungs were pretty much intact and there was no pool water content.

She makes my skin crawl...*shudder*

This trial has just been going on too long. As with so many sensationalized things these days (too much in my opinion) it is just going on and on and on too long, with the hopes that a reasonable doubt is created on the part of the defense.

I have just wanted to see what evidence each side had and how it was presented and form in my own mind whether or ...

Following this trial and listening to commentary there is very little doubt it seems that Casey Anthony murdered her child and disposed of the body. I think a lot of the bias is because she is a pathologic liar.

Does anyone believe she was molested by her father/brother which caused her psychopathic lying? I heard Geraldo Rivera comment ...
