Morning all, didn't see a thread for today so I created one.

Which will be a WORSE sentence for someone like her, than death..70 years in an 8X10 cell...and she won't have it easy in prison..she'll be a target, unless she finds herself a 300 lb, 6' dyke...

I think Wendy's observation is on target. The other crime here is that the investigators did not follow up on this type of thinking. I bet there is a whole child pimping ring in the area, and Casey would be a link that should have led to them. An "accident" of too much chloroform being used in this type of situation sounds really plausable, and even the placement of duct tape could be explained as it could have been used to muffle the cries or screams of a child being used in such disgusting ways.

Casey's demeanor, although shocking and inhumane in relation to her daughter's death, is also, probably because she is scared to death of the people behind the child pimping. Who knows what they might have threatened...killing her parents, brother, friends, etc. if she mentiones her involvement with them. And, of course, having her own name exposed in relationship to such horrid practices. That is probably more important to her than anything...just having people know the truth about how she used her daughter in such a disgusting, immoral way just to make money is something she does not want told.

I re-ran it and it appears she has a large bandage on her right hand.

I think jail will be TOO good for her..she seems to enjoy prison

Baez is even more in love with himself and a camera than Chuckie Schumer.

[ken5050]

I said if the sentence today doesn't require a penalty phase..

Question..I wasn't paying attention to the beginning weeks..before the trial started was she offered a plea to a lesser charge?

[RitaOK]

Nancy Grace made a good point. She believes it is Murder ONE. She adds though that the emotion of the jury may not inflict the death penalty.

Baez might want to rethink the “emotion” thing he yakked about to the jury. It may work in favor of sparing his client’s life.

[truthkeeper]

You’re just in time. Verdict will be read in 15 minutes.

I re-ran it again and it appears Cindy is carrying a white purse.

[screaminsunshine]

Maybe. But after over a month of this nightmare I doubt it. I would want to get a unanimous verdict at whatever level of charges and turn it over to the judge and go home. We will see if emotion or logic ruled the day. If murder 1 it is a good indicator Obama will be re-elected. If higher than manslaughter it will be appealed and reversed anyway. A low manslaughter and they might not even appeal it.
