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...
Caylee was such a beautiful baby and little girl but I must say I think she looked just like Cindy. That may have not boded well for Caylee in that Casey obviously hates her mother and may have seen the resemblance, too.
Just heard TH say that the JURY doesn’t know the penalties.
So they can come up with manslaughter and child abuse and it takes it right back to Felony 1st. Death Penalty.
I saw that! No more Mama Cindy.
There’s some truth in what you say. In my family, a female relative of mine hated her mother and has trouble with her daughter who looks like her grandmother. I think that is part of the problem. (Let’s face it: women are weird sometimes!)
I pretty much agree with your theory but I think there was more of a deliberate nature to the crime than purely accidental. The reason I think this is Casey told Lee that Zanny told her she was taking Caylee away from Casey because Casey was a bad mother. True enough but what is important here is that that was what Cindy was constantly telling Casey...and Casey resented it even tho it was true.
According to what Casey told Lee at the time, Zanny also told her she was taking Caylee away from Casey to teach Casey a lesson. I think this was Casey’s way of saying she was teaching Cindy a lesson.
Can Casey testify in the rebuttal? If not is that fair when they are bringing new witnesses against her??
Bingo - that, to me was a slip by Casey - her mother had called her that and I think she killed Caylee as a way to punish her mother for thinking it, and deep inside she knew it - Zanny said so
Can you imagine having a daughter who couldn’t even graduate high school and never worked? I truly think that Casey is brain-damaged in some way. I see it in her face in court. Her features resemble George’s but there’s a blankness that almost suggests idiocy to me. I wonder what her I.Q. was evaluated at...
I wonder if during the penalty phase, the Pros can bring on Zanaida Gonzalez to tell how the bitches lies have destroyed her life?
I have heard it said that Casey’s boyfriend didn’t particulary like Caylee shacking up at his apartment. I think Casey, who had argued with her mother, started drugging up or chloroforming Caylee and leaving her in the car while telling her boyfriend she was taking her to the babysitter. Maybe Caylee started waking up too often and crying so she upped the dose and put duct tape over her mouth to keep her quiet. Caylee died and Casey knew it was her fault and the rest is history.
In Casey’s mind, she didn’t mean for her to really die, so she went on as though Caylee never existed until her mother forced the issue.
Honestly, I'm just amazed. Well, we will see if we are close, soon enough, correct?
Now I've really GOT to get back to work or I'll get in trouble. Keep posting!
Perry just spoke and you can hear it in his voice that he wants no more defense idiocy from Baez.
I am just getting here. Looks like I didn’t miss anything
General Counsel for Gentiva is on the stand.
I just don’t agree with that. Shrewdness and an ability to lie (which she obviously picked up from dear ole mom!) don’t seem - to me, at least - to add up to intelligence. If her lies ever made any sense, perhaps I’d agree with you but they were mostly nonsensical. It was only that her family was so stupid and willing to believe her lies that made her seem brighter than she really is.
YES F*ing BITCH is going DOOOOWWWWNNN!
Storm has evidently brought down WFTV, is there another source to watch/hear? TruTV has too many commercials.
I am in Ky and Tru Tv is all I can get. I have the commercials memorized. Whats really irrating the commercials really blare loud Tru TV is the pits after it changed from Court TV
