Good Morning to all. Closing Arguments are today.
I apologize in advance if you were either left off today's ping list or included in error. I am not at home and forgot to forward my pinglist to my friend's house, so I've had to check some older threads and reconstruct as many names as possible. If I missed you I'm sorry.
I probably won't be able to post much on this thread, but after I am home I will keep my ear to the television/radio for the jury decision, and will ping again when I hear so we can have a discussion thread.
Let me know if you want on or off the ping list.
LOL! Never, and I mean NEVER tell him your FR name!
“Perry again noted there is an issue with allowing too many photos in. He said, “You all sometimes get reckless and you all don’t mind retrying cases. I do. I care about convictions. I don’t care to do them twice.””
As usual you post misleading info.
He didn’t want a mistrial. HELLO NO ONE DOES BUT BAEZ and FOGHORN. and you ofcourse. the only one going to worry about disbarrment is BAEZ.
No apologies necessary. I have 3 sons and my middle son was my challenge. Been there, done that. I know what you are going through.
I watched the closing arguments today. I thought the prosecution's final argument was very effective. I thought Baez was horrible. It's obvious that he was throwing anything and everything against the wall to try to create reasonable doubt. I'm guessing the jury tuned out to most of his presentation.
It's important to remember that "beyond a reasonable doubt" doesn't mean absolute certainty. If one were to express it as a percentage, 80% would probably be a good number. So based on the totality of the evidence, the jury should be about 80% sure that Casey did it in order to convict. I think the prosecution met that burden based on what I've seen. Casey was the only person with a motive. If it was an accident everyone would have behaved quite differently. As the prosecution said, one would have to suspend all common sense in order to conclude that Casey wasn't involved. It's not necessary that every single question be answered in order for a jury to convict.
He is lying, AGAIN...
Lawyers on Strike is an ANTI JUDGE website...Lead my someone with user name:ATTICUS

So you are saying that Judge Perry personally wants to convict Casey Anthony. That is a real leap to infer that from his statement alone. This is about things being done properly and the appellate court. You don’t retry a case when the defendant is found ‘not guilty’. Its obvious that Jose Baez is taking the shotgun approach to setting up the ability to appeal a conviction. My guess is that when Ms. Anthony is convicted a handoff to a new defense attorney will occur and the appeal with be made on grounds of ineffective council.
Hello indy....
Am listening to all the news talkers ranting on about this case. Pretty much they all agree CAsey’s guilty...just a matter of how it’s going to go for the jury now.
Bad part is this will be appealed and another two or more years this will go on and on.
That’s odd - didn’t Screamie sign a post earlier as Atticus?
I love the tongue turn black if you lie story!
You did well!
Are you in Marcellus? Or nearby? Only asking because we lived in that area for 17 years.
I’ll get extra glasses ready! YUM
I have an idea she really enjoys all the destruction left in her wake.
HUH?
Yes, he signed one of his posts “Atticus.”
Never mind, I should have chcked your home page first. :)
Lawyers on Strike was started by a small group of disgruntled lawyers in Texas who planned to protest Judge Sharon Keller
The anonymous blogger’s bright idea: “I will use this blog to call for a ‘strike’: that is, to call upon all attorneys in the geographic area to refuse to appear in front of that judge
The anonymous blogger is calling, more specifically, for a November 17, 2010 strike against Sharon Keller of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
TX for the reply. I am not a lawyer. But it really looked to me like Baez had the jury. But we could not see them. 80% does not work for me. 80% leaves some wiggle room. Are you going to watch tomorrow? Have you been in trials and won with 80%? I looked to me from his demeanor that they did not tune him out. In fact the media that was there was almost speechless when Judge Kangaroo stopped him....just my take.
I thought the very same thing, Edinva!
M62. Ashton used your motive today! You think they are here? You were the first one who had it.
Who can forget idiot Baez telling the jury that bringing Caylee Anthony into the trial was in bad taste! You can’t make this stuff up.
Exactly...and when you give thought to that you see clearly that this was not an accident. Loving mothers don't put three strips of duck tape over their child's mouth unless they're abusive. BTW Interesting Attorney remark tonight on the news....child porno pimps use cloroform on kids to get them to co-operate and film them. Maybe that's how Casey found out about it....she hung with some shaddy caharacters on occasion,....or was she pimping her child for money?
