Have you been a case junkie from day one throughout or only followed the trial?
I’m curious because I think that tells something.
Also, if you’ve only followed the trial, I want to thank you for your honesty etc. and being brave enough to stand your ground.
I am very curious for extreme honesty in this area. I think we can all learn much from it.
I followed in what I would call hard-core in 2008, then let it go once it was determined that the corpse was Caylee.
Some have followed hard-core from day one until now...
Some have only recently started following, since the trial..serious trial watcher or semi-trial watcher.
I am curious as to where opinions fall according to how one followed/follows this case.
I was like you and followed at first, but I don’t believe 99-100% of what the media says, so I just wanted to wait until the trial. I really thought they’d break her & she plea, so I kinda halfway thought there wouldn’t be a trial.
I am not a trial junkie....I have been in many trials & for one know how tedious & boring they can be, so I figured I’d just get the summary at the end b/c I thought it would be a slam dunk case....but not long after it started, I caught a clip on the news & was like “wow”...something is odd here....now, I told my hubby way back in ‘08 that I thought her brother had probably molested her....something about his demeanor & his responses...It was only a judgement call on my part & I never got online and mentioned it because I it was a feeling I had & I would never want to spread something and bear false witness on something I didn’t really know. So I only said it to my husband, who tends to believe me because I am a pretty good judge of character MOST of the time...however, I never thought that about the dad....when that was mentioned in the trial (I don’t remember it being talked about before then, of course I wasn’t following closely)but, I told my hubby “Ah! I knew it!” Again, he didn’t admit it, but I STILL think, after seeing him on the stand, something fishy is there.
That judge was a joke to me. I never EVER have seen a trial where a judge would allow half the junk he did. Also, to me he was very unprofessional & caused some confusion himself which affects juries. Just my opinion.
I told my hubby this weekend, I said, from what I’ve seen there isn’t enough here to convict her on. I didn’t even see how they could get the least of murder charges, much less capital murder. My hubby went nuts on me! LOL.... He was fired up, saying I was crazy & on & on *sigh* ....
I also admit that I missed a couple of things. I never understood the whole meter reader story and never determined how many times “chloroform” was searched for or if the heart sticker was on the duck tape or not....
I was pregnant when all this happened in ‘08 so I could only take so much & was happy to shelve the story in my mind. I don’t remember them finding body in December of ‘08 because after the ‘08 elections, hubby decided we needed to take a break on politics/news in our house because I was 8 months pregnant then & he was concerned about my stress levels.
And baby is now about the age Caylee was in most of those pictures & the time of her death....I HAVE to look at it through “investigator” eyes instead of mommy eyes or else I couldn’t handle any of it all.
And some FReepers have had the nerve to attack my parenting because I don’t agree with them that we should attack the jury. It’s amazing to me. I debate liberals ALL THE TIME so I am used to the mud they sling, but was rather shocked at how FReepers have lowered themselves to some of the liberal tactics of name calling, mocking, ignoring facts, misquoting me & personal attacks. Thank you for being willing to engage in intelligent & honest debate.
