Good morning to all.
I thought I would get this thread up bright and early so I could concentrate on work until the trial begins. I believe it starts at 9:00 a.m. today.
The State is presenting its important rebuttal case, which will include two Gentiva representatives, one of which will likely be a custodian of records. That person would need to authenticate Cindy's time sheets, which were subpoenaed. The State plans to admit that evidence to impeach her testimony that it was she, and not Casey, who did the computer searches on chloroform. The chloroform searches go directly to premeditation, a critical element in a death penalty case.
I understand that closing arguments will be heard Saturday (tomorrow) and then the jury will "get deliberated." (I love saying that!)
Time to put on a big pot of coffee...
Everything about her comes off phony. Maybe some TRU TV hosts think she is credible, but I believe people like us react more like the jury is thinking.
I notice attorneys quite often lose the ability to see people for who they really are.
I understand, I was just saying I didn’t believe others who were claiming river was believeable - Cindy has really done a lot to screw this up. It bothers me that the media keeps saying this is natural to lie to protect your child. Are they totally forgetting the whole “under oath” part? I
I think you are the River Cruz of this thread!
Is it not apparent to you that the body was moved while Casey was in jail?
Absolutely - I agree!
Yep, Ashton does not seem the type to do anything but cross all T’s and dot all the I’s.
It may well be that Casey’s defense team pointed out to Casey that if she testifies, it better be good, because this guy won’t cut you any slack. He will go after you on every issue that isn’t verified or seems out of synch.
Post of the day!
The best you can hope for is a hung jury. The odds of a not guilty verdict are extremely small and would require jurors to ignore all evidence put on by the state.
My verdict is somewhere between felony murder (the 2nd choice) and aggravated manslaughter. While it is true the defense is under NO obligation to prove anything, they set THEMSELVES a very high bar- the state did not force them to come up with the absurd theory they chose. Having done so, they are now obligated to bring at least some EVIDENCE to support their theory OR else the judge CANNOT allow Baez to use his theory in closing as it now assumes facts NOT IN EVIDENCE.
My sense is that Casey came up with this theory and for whatever deluded reasons we can only guess at, Baez went along. HAD he chosen the more common simple “reasonable doubt” defense, we might well be looking at a different outcome- though we can’t be sure.
Casey and Baez put themselves in this corner- you can’t fault the state for exploiting it..
River Cruz - for a small fee, anyone can ride..
I know people seem to act like they hate George, but I actually feel kind of sorry for him.
I am sure Cindy isn’t an easy woman to live with. LOL
I ask you. If Baez is so bad and his case sucked and Ashton is the 2nd coming with a perfect case. Why the extensive rebuttal of all of Baez horrible experts and evidence? My opinion is that Ashton knows he is losing and so does the so called impartial Judge.
Well put.
You win a Cookie! Good thinking.
I’ve been very impressed with the prosecution team - they are sharp and professional. Baez has stuttered hoping to find something to say and had to consult with the big kids at his table more than he should have.
Well, you retreat into your “that ain’t gonna happen world”
The jurors actually listened and are not subject to “lets make it all up in order to free little Mommy Dearest”.
That is about all Baez had. Want to know why? Because his client is guilty and he had to fabricate a defense.
He offered no compelling argument to prove anyone but Casey is guilty of her murder.
Egads. It really is that bad, isn’t it?
Sigh. If you read the intelligent posts here (much more informed and intelligent than mine, lol) you will see why the Judge is doing this. He’s far from an idiot. If Cindy takes the 5th over her work timesheet, it is not going to look bad for the State, I can assure you. Why would George take the 5th? Because of the affair? We all learned in the ‘90s that everyone lies about sex!
Moved YEAH.

You mean THAT kind of moving.
NOT ONE SHRED of EVIDENCE anything else happened.
ALL EVIDENCE points to the FACT that Bitch Murdered her child. BACKED her car into the garage. Laid her in the backyard. Couldn’t get into Daddy’s sheds.
Borrowed the shovel from the neighbor. Found out it takes work to dig a hole. A bigger hole needed for a 2 year old child than takes for cats and Dogs. Said to herself F this.
Throws Caylee BACK in the trunk. Drives around with her body in the trunk until the decomp started to stink up her car.Couldn’t just throw her in a dumpster donncha know.
SOOO she goes back to the one place she knew there would be Gators and other critters.
THE TRASH DUMP IN THE SWAMP.
Then as she was carrying Caylee into the swamp she got decomp on her pants. (Cindy washed them because the stunk like the car).
SHE THREW CAYLEE OUT ON THAT TRASH DUMP.
THEN THE BITCH PROCEEDED TO PARTY HARDY.
Para Peter Cayote in JAGGED EDGE.
SHE IS A ICE WOMEN. SHE IS A MONSTER!
” Giraldo makes me so mad......and Baez has pulled every trick in the book to shake this trial....”
Don’t know if you saw/heard this, but several weeks ago Geraldo claimed that Miranda rights were not administered properly and that will affect the outcome.
Anyone else recall this, as I haven’t heard him restate that.
In any case his ego is a big as his head............
