Casey looking very smug and smiley. I'm not liking the look of this.

Don`t know all the details.....
We would need to go through the whole thing again.
Yes. I can`t see JP allowing it.
He`s denied every mistrial request so far.

There was real venom on her face, whoever it was directed at.
I think it showed a side of Casey she has tried very hard to keep hidden. I really hope the jury saw it.
So do I. I`m not sure if the jury were there or not. I`ve been checking on the hinky but no-one`s confirmed anything, so far.
Hi Scotty.
Bill talking about possible plea.
Hi Yogi
Really?
Some news coming through about defence withdrawing their "complaint" against Jeff re the accusation he (Jeff) phoned Rodriquez boss to have him excluded from giving evidence.
Something like that anyway......
Bill now says Casey doesn't look like someone about to make a plea deal.

Neither can I, she's never going to admit that she killed Caylee.

Hi Soozy.
I can feel my blood pressure going up, I wish they'd hurry up and tell us what's going on.
News coming in.....
Lawyers from both sides have been discussing a report from a forensic psychologist.
Not sure, but it seems the defence want to bring in a new witness.

Baez game-playing again.
The hinky meter is down - anyone else having probs with it?
Breaking News: Prosecution: Defense again asking for mistrial over jury/death penalty qualification issue. Finnell requesting,
^^ This posted over on WESH.
The defence have already had Casey examined by 2 psychologists.
The State were willing to have them as witnesses if they (the state) could have her examined by their own examiner.
The defence refused, dropped these witnesses and sealed the results of their findings.
I`m finding this all very odd.

Me. It happens quite a bit when the forum is busy Soozy. It usually gets fixed pretty quickly.

New jury have we got to go through all this again????? Curse Casey

Nor me. It would obviously have been one sided - Casey`s "story" only
They couldn`t chance letting the State dig deeper.

It's obvious to everyone that Casey has psychological problems, the defence don't want that to come out.

Yes and it is.
I`m not really sure what it`s about but JP was involved in the backroom discussions with the lawyers. We`ll maybe find out today Pengy.
What is meant by the phrase "death qualified juror"?
Baez looking smug.
I need to know in the next 3/4 hour before I go - I want copious notes taken while I'm gone so I know what's going on when I get back

haven't got a clue???
"Ann Finnel has filed a motion for mistrial based on a recent opinion from a federal case. The motion asks for a new jury to be seated that is not death penalty qualified."
^^^^^ From WESH. This sounds possible.
wtf is going on. i cant stand that woman, this proves there is no remorse in her to me. if if IF i was that cruel that i killed a kid, id want to be sent down. I'd feel i deserved it.
What is she reading so intently?????

This is what I don`t understand Yogi. In their opening statement they said she behaved and lied like she did because of "sexual abuse." ( I don`t believe it) Surely, they should have used that to her advantage?
does anyone know where this thing about it not being a death penalty case anymore...is this the plee from defence?

You would have thought so.

I would take it that the psychiatrist didn't agree with their theory of sex abuse and saw her for what she is a manipulative liar 
or did they use a less qualified psychologist who again didn't give them the information that they wanted????

I definitely think the defence did not get a favourable psychological report.
A death-qualified jury is a jury in a criminal law case in the United States in which the death penalty is a prospective sentence. Such a jury will be composed of jurors who: 1. Are not categorically opposed to the imposition of capital punishment;
2. Are not of the belief that the death penalty must be imposed in all instances of capital murderâthat is, they would consider life imprisonment as a possible penalty.
