The case of Caylee Marie Anthony’s death has captured the attention of this country. In part, because she was such a beautiful little girl, almost three years old when she died. And, in part, because the mother did not report her missing for 31 days.
Perhaps, because most of us who are parents cannot begin to understand how a parent could go on for 31 days not reporting their daughter missing, we followed the case hoping to understand, hoping for an explanation that would make sense.
We first learned of this little girl’s disappearance shortly after July 16th, 2008, when Cindy Anthony, the grandmother, made emergency 911 calls to report her granddaughter missing. The last documented evidence that Caylee was alive is in a home video taken on Father’s Day, June 15, 2008, visiting her great-grandfather.
Today, after three years, Casey Anthony’s trial begins with opening statements.
As a mother, I want to understand how this young woman accused of killing her child, who claimed her daughter was kidnapped, could go on with her life, showing no grief, photographed at nightclubs, videotaped shopping, giving no indication to anyone of having lost her child, and never reporting her daughter missing.
As a fair and empathetic person, I like to think that I could listen to the evidence presented, and, in the way one would hope a juror would do, weigh the evidence, and come to a fair verdict, beyond a reasonable doubt.
This blog post will be updated daily, until the conclusion of this trial, with my thoughts and observations on the trial’s proceedings, the witnesses, the evidence, the attorneys, and the defendant.
Did Casey Anthony kill her daughter? I don’t know. But I’m willing to keep an open mind as I follow the trial of the State of Florida vs. Casey Marie Anthony.
What are your thoughts?
The prosecutor, Linda Drane Burdick, did a masterful job of going through the documented whereabouts of Casey Anthony through each of the 31 days her daughter, Caylee Anthony, was missing. Casey’s activities were pieced together through cell phone tower pings, text messages, phone calls, Facebook entries, videos at stores, photos, and witness statements, all without any evidence of Caylee’s whereabouts. Artfully creating a timeline of Casey’s activities, the prosecutor announced each day the little girl was missing with a methodical and pounding “Day One…” Day Two…” and so on, ending each of the 31 days’ descriptions with the question, “And, where was Caylee?”
The prosecutor painted a picture of a mother who seemed to have killed her daughter in order to live a life of nightclubs, parties, boyfriends, and freedom from motherhood. The prosecution stated that Casey repeatedly lied about Caylee’s whereabouts, to friends and family who asked, claiming that she was with the ‘nanny,’ or with friends, or with co-workers, or with her parents, sometimes in different cities, and usually participating in different fun activities, but there were often different and conflicting explanations to different people on the same day. The prosecutor was clear that no one saw the little girl after June 16th, but plenty of people saw Casey at parties and nightclubs, shopping, and getting tattoos, with not a care in the world.
The prosecutor held up the handwritten statement Casey gave the police, the statement which was supposed to offer all the details that the police would need to help her find her daughter, the statement in which she claimed that her daughter had been kidnapped by ‘Zanni the Nanny.’ This lie, the prosecutor claimed, along with countless other lies in that statement, is proof in itself that Casey was trying to mislead the police and was not trying to find her daughter. In the statement, Casey gave the address of the apartment where she claimed she had dropped off her daughter with Zanni, and, when asked, she agreed to take the police there. When the police found no one living at Zanni’s apartment, they spoke to the apartment manager who informed them that no one had lived there in over six months.
It turned out that Casey’s job at Universal Studios was also a lie – a lie she kept for nearly two years. It wasn’t until she agreed to go with the police to Universal Studios to find contact information for Zanni, walking down a hallway to a non-existent office, that she finally admitted to the police that she did not work at Universal Studios. The wild goose chase to Zanni’s non-existent apartment and to her non-existent office occurred after her mother, Cindy, reported Caylee missing, the very night that should have been spent helping the police to find her daughter, Caylee.
The prosecutor ended their opening statement with a summary review of the evidence: the smell of decomposition in Casey’s car – the car she had abandoned with Caylee’s car-seat still in it – a smell witnessed by her father, a former homicide detective, and her mother, a nurse, when they picked up the car at the tow yard, a smell that was documented by forensic testing; the hair strand with bands that are indicative of falling from a deceased person; the DNA that shows that hair was Caylee’s; the chloroform detected in huge quantity in the trunk of Casey’s car; the computer evidence of Google searches done on the family computer, that include searches on chloroform and other chemicals, on how to create weapons from household items, on neck-breaking, and other incriminating searches – these searches occurred when both of Casey’s parents were at work; the unique duct tape found around Caylee’s mouth and nose, which was also found in the home; the trash bags, the laundry bag, and the Winnie the Pooh blanket in which Caylee was found all came from the home; the cadaver dogs’ alerts of a decomposing body in the backyard and in the car; cell phone tower pings indicating Casey’s movements; along with other circumstantial evidence.
What the prosecutor did not mention was how Caylee stole her friend’s check book during those 31 days Caylee was missing, emptying out her friend’s bank account and going on shopping sprees. They did not mention how earlier that year she stole her mother’s credit card, charging tens of thousands of dollars to it, forcing her mother to take money out of her retirement account to pay the debt. The prosecutor also did not mention how Casey had stolen money from her grandparents’ bank accounts, money set aside to pay for her grandfather’s nursing home. Then, again, the defense would probably object to this evidence on the grounds of relevancy to the charges against Casey.
The prosecutor has quite a job ahead of them, but they did a good job of laying out their case against Casey Anthony.
The defense’s lead attorney, Jose Baez, wasted no time explaining that the reason Casey did not report her daughter missing during those 31 days is because her daughter was not missing, she accidentally drowned on June 16th, 2008. The defense claimed that on June 16th Caylee and Casey were at home with George Anthony, grandfather and father, respectively. While George and Casey were talking, George noticed Caylee was not around. They set about looking for Caylee outside and George found her lifeless body in the pool, pulling her out. The defense implied that George helped Casey cover up the accidental death, and then later tried to distance himself from the incident, setting out to let Casey take the fall.
I wondered, if true, why would George not have attempted to save his granddaughter’s life or call for an ambulance, after all he was a former homicide detective and trained in CPR? By all accounts, he adored his granddaughter. It seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was clear that this must have been the explanation Casey gave her defense attorney. Was she lying again… even to her defense team?
The defense shocked everyone with allegations that George Anthony molested his daughter since the age of eight, and later on her older brother, Lee, molested her as well. Mr. Baez insinuated that one of them might be Caylee’s father. The defense explained that Casey learned to lie and use denial to cope with the molestation by her father and brother, and that these same skills of lying and denial are what she used to deal with Caylee’s accidental death. This is why, the defense claims, that Casey did not report her daughter’s death and why she was able to go on with her life, partying at nightclubs with friends, during those 31 days.
The defense claims that the man who found Caylee, Roy Kronk, had ulterior motives – he wanted to be the one to find Caylee’s remains for fame and money. Jose Baez, the defense attorney, claimed that Mr. Kronk placed Caylee’s remains in the woods, just 20 feet from the street, a block or two away from where Casey lived.
However, the defense did not explain how or where Roy Kronk originally found Caylee’s remains and why he would move them to the woods near Casey’s house. I suppose if he had wanted to claim the reward for finding Caylee, he could have called the police from the original spot where he found Caylee, where supposedly George and Casey Anthony disposed of Caylee, and still claim the reward.
The defense seemed to be searching for anything that could give the jurors ‘reasonable doubt‘ upon which to find Casey not guilty.
Following the defense’s opening statements – where they accused George Anthony of molesting his daughter, pulling his granddaughter’s body out of the pool, and helping to hide the accident and the body – the prosecution called Mr. Anthony as their first witness. One of the most important questions they asked him was if he had ever molested Casey, which he categorically denied ever molesting her. He also denied pulling his granddaughter’s body out of the pool and helping to cover up the accident. He claimed the last time he saw his granddaughter was on June 16th, at 12:50 p.m. when Casey left with Caylee to go to work.
The defense spent some time cross-examining the father, George Anthony, about Casey’s pregnancy, when he found out and why he had not asked Casey who the father was. The defense attorney, Jose Baez, was trying to imply something, but it seemed lost on most everyone. Perhaps it will become clear later on.
The parents, George and Cindy Anthony, sat all through the first day of trial in the back row, Cindy feverishly taking notes, George reading his Bible. They had been granted the right to be present during the trial, even though they are both listed as witnesses for both prosecution and defense. Generally, witnesses are not allowed to be present during the trial, lest their testimony be tainted by what they hear, but the Anthony’s petitioned the court and won the right to be there as family of the victim, Caylee Marie Anthony – standing up for their granddaughter and showing support for their daughter.
Well, tomorrow is another trial day, but tonight my thoughts are with George and Cindy Anthony. I cannot imagine the pain and loss they must feel in losing their granddaughter, the conflicting feelings watching their daughter on trial for her murder, and listening to their daughter’s defense attorney accuse them of molestation and abuse.
What are your thoughts?
I'm going to read this later ,...............can you get it stickied?
The shock and awe of yesterday’s opening statements and jaw-dropping allegations, gave way to the everyday tediousness of conducting a trial, as the Prosecution called eight witnesses today. The number of objections and sidebars seemed endless, but the Judge’s patience was not, as he appeared noticeably annoyed and upset with the attorneys a number of times.
The focus of today’s witnesses seemed to be on the people who saw Casey most during those 31 days Caylee was missing. They all seemed to be connected to Casey’s boyfriend-at-the-time, Tony Lazzaro, from his roommates to ‘shot girls‘ who worked at the Fusion Nightclub where Tony conducted event-parties every Friday night.
The prosecution established through these witnesses that Tony, sometime in mid-May 2008, had sent Casey a ‘friend request‘ on Facebook, and later met her in person on May 24th at the birthday party of one of his friends. They soon became inseparable. Casey spent more and more time at Tony’s apartment, eventually seeming to have moved in, without being asked, some time around mid-June. This time period is significant because Caylee disappeared June 16th.
Tony had one official roommate, Cameron Campana, but Nathan Lezniewicz and Roy (Clint) House were also staying in this two-bedroom apartment, rent-free, sleeping on the couch and floor. These four friends were also students at a local university for the arts, a couple of them sharing a side-business of event promotions.
During the first two weeks in June, all the roommates remember seeing Casey at their apartment several times a week, and they all remember meeting Caylee two to four times in that period. By all accounts, Casey was remembered as being a good and attentive mother, bringing books, toys, DVDs, and flashcards for her daughter when they visited. Although Casey did spend the night with Tony a few times per week in this first half of June, they all mentioned that Caylee neverspent the night at Tony’s. And no one ever saw Caylee again after mid-June.
The Prosecution wanted to make a point through each of the roommates that Casey had told them that she worked at Universal Studios as an event planner. Apparently, Casey would get dressed in the morning and seemingly go to work, later in the day coming home to the shared apartment with a Universal Studios ID badge hanging around her neck. We know now that she had not worked there in more than two years.
The roommates were asked by the prosecutor if Casey would cook for them, clean the apartment, and sometimes even do laundry, and they confirmed that she did those things and sometimes even purchased groceries. It wasn’t clear where the Prosecution was going with that, but the Defense used the opportunity in their cross-examination to suggest that perhaps this was her way of paying her dues for getting to stay at their apartment rent-free. This line of questioning only seemed to backfire on the prosecution.
Another backfire for the prosecution, was when they asked Maria Kissh, Clint House’s girlfriend at the time, if she had ever been in Casey’s car. She said, yes, that she, Clint, Tony and Casey all went out in Casey’s car, she wasn’t sure why, but perhaps to get something to eat. The prosecution left it at that, but the Defense saw the opportunity and took it.
During the cross-examination, lead attorney, Jose Baez, asked Maria where she sat in the car. She replied that she and her boyfriend sat in the backseat. Sitting so close to the trunk, Mr. Baez asked Maria if she smelled a foul odor in the car and she said, “No.” The defense pressed further and asked if anyone in the car said, “Boy, this car stinks.” She said, “No.” (For those not familiar with the case, the prosecution alleges that Caylee’s remains were kept in the trunk of her mother’s car, causing an overwhelming scent that is only associated with a decomposing human body.)
However, the prosecution, missed an opportunity to re-direct and ask Maria when it was that they went for that car ride; or ask her if she knows whether it is even possible to smell odors in the trunk of a Pontiac Sunfire from the backseat; or ask her if she knows how long it takes for a decomposing body to develop a strong enough smell to be noticeable, anything to rehabilitate his witness.
Clearly, if they went for a ride before June 16th, then the car should not have a foul odor. But the prosecution did not bother to redirect. Three witnesses and many hours later, when they called Tony Lazzaro to the stand, Tony did mention that he, Casey, Maria, and Clint went out to his friend’s birthday party on June 4th and Casey drove. The Prosecution should have made an extra effort to highlight this June 4th date – which was before Caylee disappeared – to the jury and connect it to Maria’s statements, but it was a missed opportunity for them, again.
For some reason, the Defense chose to cross-examine the roommates in an almost sarcastic manner, asking each of them in turn, “Were you at Casey’s house on June 16th when Caylee drowned?” The Prosecutor objected to introducing facts not in evidence, but the Judge allowed it. The Defense continued this sarcastic line of questioning, asking some of the witnesses if Casey had ever talked about murdering someone, or did she ever ask to borrow guns, knives, duct tape, chloroform, or other weapons so that she could kill someone? Each witness answered, no, but I can only imagine what the jury was thinking.
The Prosecutor used Tony and each of his roommates to make the point that Casey had her own PC laptop, and they each had a MacBook Pro provided to them by the university they attended. The prosecutor asked them if Casey had ever used any of their laptops and if they had ever used hers. The answer was no on both counts. My guess is that, later on in the trial, the Prosecution will unveil some computer forensic evidence they must have found on Casey’s laptop.
Another point the Prosecution seemed determined to make was that Casey attended Club Fusion on Friday nights with Tony to help him promote the events and provide guidance to the shot girls. The prosecutor introduced photos of Casey dancing and participating in “hot body contests‘ at the club. They pointed out that Friday, June 20th, four days after Caylee disappeared, Casey continued to party and participate in these activities.
Neither the roommates nor the ‘shot girls’ ever noticed any change in Casey’s demeanor after June 16th, they all said she was always happy and excited about life. Many of them also mentioned how she was very nice, kind, respectful and caring. The Defense made a point in their cross-examination of re-emphasizing the witnesses’ perception of a kind and caring Casey.
The defense attorney, Jose Baez, had tried to explain away, in his opening statements the day before, why Casey acted ‘normal’ after Caylee’s alleged drowning, why she did not mention the horrific accident to anyone… because, according to Mr. Baez, she had learned as a little girl to use lies and denial to cope with her father and brother’s alleged sexual abuse, to go on as if nothing had happened… and that’s exactly what she did when her daughter accidentally drowned.
Did those defense allegations and explanations have any mitigating effect on how the jury will perceive Casey’s actions after her daughter disappeared or died on June 16th? Who knows.
The prosecution tried to make a couple of other points with these witnesses, namely that Casey always went outside to make or take a call, and, when asked about Caylee, she would say she was with her grandmother or the nanny doing some fun activity, like going to the beach or amusement parks. No one ever heard or overheard Casey talk to Caylee or to the nanny. No one ever met the nanny. However, Casey did tell one of the roommates’ girlfriend that she paid the nanny $400 a week to take care of Caylee. Amazing, how she seems to throw little details into the lies to make them seem more plausible.
There was one strange bit of testimony that came out about where Casey planned to live in the future after Tony’s lease ran out in August, but neither side seemed to want to make much of it. Casey told some of these witnesses that her parents were going to leave their home to her and Caylee to live in within the next couple of months. At which point, I could not help but wonder why her parents would ‘leave’ her their house… were they planning to move away… were they planning to die soon… would Casey find a way to get rid of her parents? It was such a crazy story.
The prosecutor also called Casey’s next door neighbor, Brian Burner, from whom she borrowed a shovel on June 18th, two days after Caylee disappeared. Two things stood out: Mr. Burner testified that he saw Casey back up her car into the garage, when her parents were not home, something which he had not seen her do before; and that she had never before borrowed anything. After an hour, she returned the shovel, which she said she had used to remove bamboo shoots in the backyard. All I could wonder was why she drove all the way to her parents, when she was staying at Tony’s, just to dig up bamboo shoots at her parents’ house?
The last witness of the day was Tony Lazzaro, Casey’s boyfriend during the 31 days Caylee was missing, Tony was with Casey on the evening of June 16th, the day Caylee was either killed or accidentally drowned. They went to a Blockbuster video rental store that evening and the Prosecution entered into evidence security video of the two of them walking around the store.
Tony said Casey’s demeanor that night, was “the same she was every day, happy, happy to see me, having a grand old time.” The prosecutor asked Tony if Casey had cried that night, or if she was scared, or nervous,or if she had mentioned anything happening to Caylee? Tony answered, “No. Nothing seemed different from any other night.”
Casey stayed over that night, and from then on stayed with Tony at his apartment. The prosecutor asked if Casey, after that night, ever brought over clothes or toys or toiletries for Caylee, and Tony answered that she had not.
The next day, June 17th, Tony mentioned that he did not go to classes and that the two of them spent the day in bed. The prosecutor asked and he answered that Casey had not called her daughter that day or night and that “she was happy and gave no indication that anything was wrong.” On June 18th, he went to class and “she probably went wherever she would go,” he said.It is worth noting that on June 18th is when Casey went back to her parents house to borrow the shovel from her parents’ neighbor.
Tony further testified about Casey’s participation in the ‘hot body contest’ that Friday night (June 20th) at Club Fusion. He talked about Casey calling him up on June 23rd because she had run out of gas and he picked her up, and took her to her parents’ house where she said she could pick up gas cans. He was concerned about having to use his tire iron to break into the shed, but she told him not to worry, it was her shed. They took the gas cans back to her car, she poured the gas in as he stood a few feet away from the trunk. The Defense during their cross-examination asked him if he smelled any kind of a foul odor and Tony did not.
On June 27, 2008, Casey once again ran out of gas and once again called Tony to pick her up, at the Amscott parking lot where she had parked her car. Tony said she was standing away from her car, holding grocery bags, but he never got out of his car. He offered to look at the car, but she declined the offer stating that her dad would take care of it. They went back to his place. That night she participated in the Club Fusion activities as usual, with no change in demeanor, happy as usual.
On June 30th, Tony drove himself, his roommate and Casey to the airport. He was going to go to Long Island until July 5th and his roommate was going home as well. Casey was to drive his car back to his place and leave it parked in the parking lot. He was asked and stated that he had not given Casey permission to use his car while he was away.
The defense attorney, Jose Baez, once again began with his sarcastic line of questioning: “Did she talk about any murders she had committed or was planning to commit?” Asking if she had borrowed or purchased any guns, knives, duct tape, chloroform, or any other weapons she could use to kill someone. The Defense did ask some serious questions, through which Tony acknowledged he liked Caylee and had no problem dating someone with a child.
The defense attorney asked him about an incident on June 2nd when Tony, Casey and Caylee had gone to the pool together and Casey had to reprimand Caylee because she got too close to the edge of the pool, getting Tony to agree that Caylee really seemed to love to go in the pool. This is important because the Defense contends that Casey drowned in her grandparents’ pool.
The Defense went out of its way to note that Tony had given law enforcement five sworn statements, allowed them to tap his phone, wore a wire to get information from Lee Anthony, never spoke to the media, never sold any photographs, and never made any money from the case. The defense wanted to show him a photograph that was beyond the scope of the direct, and should be brought up during the Defense’s case in chief, but the prosecutor objected. Mr. Baez asked Tony Lazzaro, who now lives in Long Island, New York, if it would be a hardship for him to return to Florida to testify during the Defense’s case in chief, possibly a month from now, He said it would.
The Judge called a sidebar, which seemed to last an eternity, when the lawyers returned to their desks it was not clear what had been decided. However, the defense attorney, Jose Baez, who was about to continue questioning Tony Lazzaro, noticed the time and asked if they might continue their cross-examination tomorrow. Since it was nearly 5:00 p.m., the Judge agreed, the Jury was dismissed, but no one dismissed Tony who was left sitting on the stand. As the attorneys were gathering their things, one of the prosecutors noticed that Tony was still sitting on the witness stand and suggested to the Judge that he might want to dismiss the witness. The Judge laughed, apologized, said that he had not seen Mr. Lazzaro sitting there, and promptly dismissed him, reminding him to return tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. And with that bit of levity the court day ended.
After the trial concluded, I could not help but think about the stark difference between Casey and her peers who testified today. There was one young woman in particular who seemed so polished, professional and mature, dressed in a lovely skirt-suit, having graduated from college and already embarked on a career. All of them seemed to have gotten degrees or jobs or babies, they were moving on with their lives, some of them having moved out of the state, while Casey seemed frozen in time. She sat at the defense table, looking serious, matronly and mousy, so unlike her age, so unlike the photos of her introduced today into evidence. I wondered how it must have felt for her to see her ex-boyfriend again, and for him to see her like that. Did they wonder what might have been, if only?
As for her actions after her daughter was killed or drowned… I am not a psychologist and, thankfully, I have never had to walk in Casey’s shoes, but I am a mother, and I cannot fathom the idea of losing one’s child and then going out to nightclubs and parties, showing no change in demeanor or affect. Her documented ability to manipulate and lie with such agility and such frequency makes it difficult to assess whether or not the story of sexual abuse is true. Still, you can’t help wondering to yourself, “What if it is true?” I suspect the jury might be struggling with the same thing.
The witnesses today left me with a somewhat colored-in picture of what Casey’s life might have been like, and what she might have been like during those 31 days Caylee was missing. The situation seems less black-and-white, Casey herself has become a little more three-dimensional. But you look at her and wish you knew what she was feeling… what she was thinking… and, what really happened?

I suppose its best to put up summaries of events that dont have a one sided view, similar to how some news channels report it, unbiased views are the best to allow a fair read up for anyone wishing to follow it.
We can always put up our opinions based on what we have found out though.
But there are so many emotions running high, thats why the likes of us would never be allowed to be on a jury in that case, as some (as we know from hearing contempts of court) are propelled along by media frenzy. Most of America would prefer it if she was just launched into their baying hands for them to rip her apart like wild animals.
So we have to keep a grasp of reality that she is just starting to be tried at court and is still innocent until proven guilty.
I have my views on her, and also her Father, they may not be true, but i do think they are both suspicious of so much.
Im pleased i came into it and read all of the links over the last three days so i feel i am more unbiased than those who have heard it from the beginning through the media.
Its not to be stickied due to not having enough space, and it will be bumped enough through how popular this case is anyway apparently.
I have a busy day today (oot n aboot working) So will put the latest days summary

Ooh good thread Peachy, I'm always in and out so this will be excerlent for me to catch up on what I've missed....
It's a very intriguing case, I think there's a lot more to be revealed. I don't understand the mother at all 
I'll keep an eye on this and bump it when needed 
Jessica G. — There's a new wrinkle in the case of missing Florida 3-year-old Caylee Anthony: court documents have surfaced which show that her 22-year-old mother, Casey, the prime suspect in Caylee's disappearance, tried to give her up for adoption in 2005. For those of you not familiar with this case, Caylee Anthony has been missing since June 9th. The police were not notified of the disappearance until July 15th, and that's only because Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, discovered the toddler was missing and made her daughter call 911. Since that frantic call, several incriminating details have emerged that make Casey look incredibly shady, if not completely guilty, including a poem Casey wrote on July 7: "What is given, Can be taken away. Everyone lies. Everyone dies."
More incriminating information: Cindy Anthony called the cops about her missing granddaughter because she found Casey's car and it stank of " a dead body in the damn car"; a neighbor said Casey tried to borrow a shovel in mid-June; Casey said she left Caylee with a nanny before she disappeared, but no one has lived in the address she gave for the nanny for several months; Casey has shown almost no emotion throughout this entire ordeal.
And now, more on that potential adoption. Apparently the then 19-year-old Casey wanted to give Caylee up for adoption when she was born, but her mother wouldn't let her. Casey's high school friend, Kiomare Torres Cruz, wanted to adopt Caylee, but Cruz told police that after Casey agreed to the adoption, "she called me back saying that her mom pretty much has told her that no, she needs to keep the baby and that she's not giving it up for adoption. Even though she really did not want to have the baby."
Casey's mother, Cindy, has been almost as consistently, publicly bizarre as her potentially homicidal daughter. First of all, Cindy has been a fixture on cable news and morning talk shows since Caylee's disappearance, seemingly eating up the press. It must be noted, however, that this is precisely the kind of story cable news networks eat up during those slow summer news doldrums (see the frantic coverage of Natalee Holloway's disappearance in 2005). Although she's been public with her mistrust of Casey, Cindy is still allowing Casey to stay at the family home, where she is equipped with a lojack and biding her time. A detective said to Casey recently, "Everything you've told us is a lie. Every single thing."

Sounds like good sense to me.
I didn't know anything about the case until I read this thread. I find it really interesting and easy to digest on this thread with just the daily reports.
I kinda thought this thread was like the old CUT (Catch Up Thread) that the LUTters did every day with a summary of the days events in but no discussion, while the other thread is to chat about fms impressions and opinions on what is unfolding.
I find the other one too confusing for someone with a more casual interest like me!!
Thanks for updating thread guys.
Be back later , quite late lol
Have a great Friday night *Hugs*
Cheers for the updates. Tried watching it live but sound quality is often poor.

Are you watching on CNN, the sound quality is pretty poor there?
Maybe try one of the other sites.

I was using the link posted on here early on in this thread. Not aware of other links.

I have tried headphones but I also wear hearing aids and the headphones tend to displace the hearing aids. But thanks for the advice.

I don't know whether it will help but I wear one headphone on one ear and have the other one behind the other ear, it must be frustrating trying to get a decent link to hear....
Day 3 is here Machel. I haven't c&p as there is such a lot of it
Day four is also up on the bluebeachsong link too.
It's good to have as I missed some of the day. I find this account to be pretty accurate but a lot of it is subjective - with reference to some of the stuff that I did manage to see, the authors take on it and mine vary a little.
It's still a very useful link though IMO.
