It must be so difficult to listen to this testimony.

 Hi all, just watched the end there, before recess, will have to catch up. Judge doesnt seem his jovial self today, according to some?? Maybe Baez is starting to annoy him, he is me!

Oh dear Lord

Hi Skylark. I don't blame JP if he is getting fed up with Bozo - that man would try the patience of a saint.

This witness is also facing the jury when he responds to questions.

Hi Yogi x
I didnt realise just how close it was to the home, that Caylee was found , Why wasnt she found sooner?

I think for a lot of the time it was under water.

I wondered the same thing.

Ah, thanks Soozy x   I havent read too much of the circumstances, i am going by the trial, well sort of. Trying to see it as the jury sees it x

The prosecution and some of the expert witnesses claim that it was underwater for a lot of that time.

The defence dispute that and claim to have dated photographs that prove otherwise - I guess we have to wait and see.

that should be interesting Soozy 

Afternoon Skylark 

George perked up when he saw his beloved gas can 

Byr for now, folks.

Thanks Soozy, Hi Pengy  x

Bye Yogi x

Showing Caylee,s bedroom and toys....Casey never flinched

God is this never going to end today

Nearly, about 20 mins   The stuff found at the house is interesting , same black bags, laundry bag etc

so why is she finding this hard to look at? She's rather inconsistent isn't she? Perhaps she hasn't given her full tear quota today!

Well, see you all monday morning jurors... I would hang around and discuss it with you... but im not allowed  

*goes to get well earned cup of tea*

Thats it for today.
Yes Soozy, she looked at Caylee,s bedroom no problem, but trees and stuff she looked away. obviously trying to look disgusted that someone could dump her daughter,s body there . Well in my opinion x

Maybe simply trying to leave the image with the jury of a poor, distraught, bereaved, victim.

She is that Soozy

Sorry it was my turn to have unannounced visitors 

Bolt the door !!

Hiya all

Yes the area where the remains were discovered had been searched before, not sure how thorough as nothing was found to be there then due to that area being swamped. (you would think they would have searched it thoroughly) Not sure how thoroughly they did this search previously.

  The defence are possibly going to show how the remains were found when Casey was in jail, so she could not have possibly put the body in this place, and therefore someone else was involved. Anyway we will see how it pans out when the Defence take the case in chief.

Still a lot of unanswered questions.

Hi Ev, where can i find the Defences opening statements? i missed the beginning of the trial and would like to hear it x YouTube, maybe ?

Thanks for that, by the way x

No problem, it will be good if we all had a magic ball to see exactly how and why things took place, wouldn't it ?

Defense: Opening Statements

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.

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 are looking to give the jurors ‘reasonable doubt‘ upon which to find Casey not guilty.

The defence have yet to explain things, and no doubt they will try *ninja*  when they are in the chief position soon.

Annoying isn't it? I'm guessing I may not have a lot of friends left aFTER THIS - i keep cutting people short on the phone and don't go all out with a big welcome when they arrive on the doorstep.

How ignorant 

Thanks Ev, i am doing everything backwards in this trial  I am REALLY trying to keep an open mind, not easy !

Its so bloody hard to do that isn't it Skylark

I find it extremely hard, but i always say (even though ive voiced my views so far on what i think happened) i will still try keep an open mind until everything has been put forward in court.

Got it on now, blimey that George is a cold fish ! Thanks again Ev x

I cant keep an open mind, ive already tried her, sentenced her and left her to rot

Gyps

We can't go straight to the slaying yet without a trial. Stay focused.

Its that man on wftv. I think it and he says it... he says it more determined hes swayed me into thinking there is no question

Yep - me too. I really cannot see how the defence team can wriggle their way out of this overwhelming evidence - lock her up and throw away the key  IMO!

What is on now?

i agree
