NEW YORK–The next legal hearing involving Casey Anthony won’t take place in a criminal court of law, but will be this Thursday, January 8, in a civil venue before Orange County Circuit Court Judge Jose R. Rodriguez.

Casey Anthony

This full hearing will concern the civil defamation action brought by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez against Anthony herself. On September 24, 2008, Fernandez-Gonzalez filed suit against Anthony for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress saying she suffered irreparable damage to her reputation, severe emotional pain and suffering and public humiliation after Anthony told investigators in July she last saw two-year-old Caylee when she left her with her nanny, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

Attorney Jonathan Kasen, who is representing Anthony in this civil action, has filed a motion to stay a deposition of Anthony scheduled for next Monday, which would be taken by Fernandez-Gonzalez’s attorneys.

Kasen told me today that these deposition questions would be too intertwined with the pending criminal investigation. He will be asking the court to stay the entire civil case until the conclusion of criminal proceedings, and says if forced to proceed with Monday’s deposition, his client will answer each and every question invoking her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

Keith Mitnik, attorney for plaintiff Fernandez-Gonzalez, doesn’t believe the answer to this legal issue is so clear cut in Florida. Mitnik says that because Anthony has filed a counterclaim to his client’s civil suit, it puts her in the position of being a civil defendant and a plaintiff at the same time. Mitnik will argue to the court on Thursday that playing both roles in this case does not automatically entitle her to plead the Fifth to each and every question.

Fernandez-Gonzalez will ask Judge Rodriguez to allow the deposition to proceed with answers handled on a question by question basis. If Anthony were to refuse to answer any questions the plaintiff’s attorneys believe are not entitled to Fifth Amendment privilege, Mitnik would likely take the issue to the judge to request that Anthony to be compelled to answer them.

Mitnik says what his client really wants is for Casey Anthony to sign a written affidavit stating that Fernandez-Gonzalez had nothing to do with the abduction or murder of Caylee Anthony. That would go a long way, he says, in restoring the reputation of this mother with young children who lost her job managing cleaning crews because her name became a household word synonymous with the kidnapping of Caylee Anthony.

Anthony told investigators in July that Fernandez-Gonzalez lived in the Sawgrass Apartments, and that she dropped Caylee off for the very last time at the bottom of stairs leading to the woman’s apartment. Fernandez-Gonzalez told police she did not live at the apartment complex, although in June 2008, she filled out an information card there but never rented a unit. How Anthony took police to the same complex where Fernandez-Gonzalez visited is still a mystery, and centers on some of the questions the plaintiff wants answered.

Jean, is it possible under these circumstances that refusal to answer questions is an admission that Anthony did deliberately use Gonzalez’ name, make of car and names of her children? If she answers that it was a different Gonzalez, does she have to answer other questions? Every time I think this has quieted down, some other absolutely amazing thing happens. The investigators being at the crime scene a month before Caylee was found is something else I hope you all follow up. Will we hear who they were speaking to on their cell phones? It seems that Casey had this sort of half planned so elaborately and it is all falling apart. What next?

Kat McGuire, Kansas   January 7th, 2009 6:36 am ET

I hope they find her guilty on ALL her charges; murder, fraud, defemation….ALL of them!!!!!!!!! She has ruined so many lives and deserves to see the needle.

Daniel G. Somers   January 7th, 2009 8:41 am ET

Zanny will never get what she wants, “a gag order”, or a life rewind, its all too late for a beautiful baby girl and a very unfortunate women, in that order too!!! Casey is the worst vermin out there, a child killer, so I feel bad for Zanny the nanny, but she needs to check her lucky stars Casey the killer let her be and walking free!!

mother of one beautifull little boy   January 7th, 2009 10:05 am ET

caylee I have prayed for you everyday little girl I’m sorry for what you have endured…Love this mom of one little boy…

Marita Laurence   January 7th, 2009 11:05 am ET

Casey Anthony is a patentic liar, she did all she could of done to hide her daughters murder and she also made stronge aquisition about a baby sitter, she deserves what she gets

Deborah   January 7th, 2009 11:20 am ET

Casey may as well get used to the ole court room…

AG   January 7th, 2009 11:27 am ET

What could Casey Anthony possibly have a counterclaim for???? Unbelievable!! I’m assuming the Anthony’s are paying for this lawyer, good grief!!!! I feel very sorry for Cindy & George Anthony.

VJones   January 7th, 2009 11:32 am ET

Casey should be sentenced to life in prison for the lies she has told on other people as well as herself. She is cold hearted and a trifling parent! Nothing she has said since this has began has been true. Her daughter is now dead and she had traces of her hair and the smell of the chlorophyll (however it is spelled) in her trunk! She was a party girl that did not want ot be burdened by a child anymore. Its only a matter of time before they collect all the evidence to get her the death penalty! This is starting to look like the OJ trial!

Linda Smith   January 7th, 2009 11:36 am ET

Is it possible Gonzales knew the cleaning person who cleaned the Anthony home? One of the videos of Caylee in a highchair, shows a woman doing cooking or cleaning in the back ground, and its not the Grandmother

Lisa   January 7th, 2009 11:38 am ET

This woman is a compulsive liar, can’t hold a job, murdered her very own child, and should not be allowed to claim her 5th priviledge. She filed a countersuit, based on what??? That she is a liar? She will never fully disclose what she did to little Caylee until someone offers her millions for an interview. I am a Christian Mother of 3 beautiful sons, and as such, I hope they sentence her to death.

Citizenmom   January 7th, 2009 11:40 am ET

Casey Anthony is just such a pathological liar that you cant believe anything that comes out of her mouth…. her parents are just as bad…especially Cindy Anthony…. you can tell where Casey gets it from…. I guess Casey learned at a young age that her father would be able to spot the truth so she learned how to be a manipulator and liar or he would know….
I think she owes Zanaida a huge apology and some cash for her pain and suffering… the fact that the Anthony ’s have a counter suit just shows that these people have few brains… balls as big as church bell and little regard for the people there heartless daughter destroys in her wake…. Casey’s brain should be removed and studied for how someone becomes a cold blooded killer of one’s own child!!!!
I hope this part of the case moves ahead and Casey is compelled to answer…
And what about the poor ex-fiance’ who she also is claiming could have had something to do with little Caylee’s demise… Again it just shows that she has no morals or sole to try and hurt so many people… George and Cindy need to look at their parenting skill….
And how creepy is it that she named the baby after her and her brother… narcissistic and just weird!!!!!!!

BG   January 7th, 2009 11:53 am ET

Casey is the most unfeeling, diabolical psycho I’ve seen in a long time. She needs to be put away and suffer for the pain she’s caused so many people. She is a compulsive liar.
Stay strong Zenaida!

chris   January 7th, 2009 11:58 am ET

I honestly think that Casey Anthony had some one help her in the murder of Caylee. If it was Zenadia Fernandez- Gonzalez only two people know that. but i think Casey need to come clean and tell the truth so her daughter sole can rest in peace.

Mercedes   January 7th, 2009 12:45 pm ET

I wonder if anyone has thought to have Lee Anthony take a paternity test! This story, as sad and tragic as it has been, is taking some really weird turns. God bless that beautiful little angel. The mother should rot in jail.

Bonnie Robinson   January 7th, 2009 12:47 pm ET

Since Casey refuses to admit who Caylee’s Father really is, did anyone ever think that Casey’s brother is the father? Thus the name, Cay for Casey and Lee for her brother, Lee? I think Lee knows more than he is admitting to, as do Casey’s parents, especially her Mother.

Gerri   January 7th, 2009 12:47 pm ET

I see it this way Casey knew what she has done to little Caylee. Casey may have been in the area when Gonzalez filled out the card for the apartment and got the information. If that was me I would not have a civil suit for the money I would want my good name back and justice for little Caylee. Casey just needs to tell what she has done and if anyone else was involved or knew what she done and withheld the information just give the names. Casey is sitting in jail anyway for the crime she did. Know is the time to come clean especially with the civil suit comming into place with it all.

Vic Cabrera   January 7th, 2009 12:53 pm ET

Definetely a psychopath+; why spend $ in courts – what she needs is a permanent institution.

The question from one of the detectives asking Casey’s boyfriend if the groceries where in the trunck or inside the car was never answered. Did anyone notice this?

vc

Justin   January 7th, 2009 12:57 pm ET

…while the laws are diffrerent from state to state, generally a civil case that arises out of the same circumstances as a pending criminal prosecution will be “stayed” (ie. all processes postponed) until resolution of the criminal case. Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination are an important reason for this. While most states’ civil procedure rules expressly allow the trier-of-fact to make a negative inference from a deponent invoking the Fifth Amendment privilege, civil justice is generally better served when full-disclosure can be compelled…and that requires that potential criminal liability be established.

Evans   January 7th, 2009 1:00 pm ET

I don’t think Casey will ever come clean she is so wrapped up in her lies that she won’t ever tell how she killed Caylee. I still cry when I think about what that beautiful little girl had to go through it makes me sick that these little kids are born in a life of hell because of bad parents!!!! I look at my kids everyday and if I ever lost one of them I would die my world would be broken how can a mother do this? you hold you first born in your arms you give them love, protection, you keep them safe, someone should of
known what a monster Casey was and protected little Caylee!.

I hope that Casey rots in that Jail cell and when she dies hell will be there waiting for her!!! Anytime you hear of a messed up parent taking there child’s life you wonder what this world is coming to. may you rest in peace little caylee may god wrap you in his arms and there you will always be safe. I pray Casey never sees the outside world again!! that in her dreams she is hunted by what she has done, I’m crying right now thinking of caylee I want casey to pay!! I also think she had help that someone out there knows what she did and if so let this person have a soul and tell think of the life that was taken and come clean.

Mary   January 7th, 2009 1:01 pm ET

Casey is a product of George and Cindy. Watching them interact with one another on TV tells me why Casey is the way she is. That said, I feel so sorry for little Caylee having to live her short life in such a home as that. My prayers are for baby Caylee and pray that they will bury her ASAP so that she can RIP.

Gerri   January 7th, 2009 1:15 pm ET

You are right she is a product of her parents. It is ashame that little Caylee had to suffer for this. I have been following this story not because I want to be nosey but because their is a child involved. I read, see, and hear of so many children dying in the hands of parents and step parents. Abuse and neglect is no way for these children to be living. Some die from the situation. I had a neighbor that her 3 yr old died from the boyfriend hitting her head into the wall she says she knew nothing about it. Yes she did because a mother or parent knows. She tried to talk to me one day I just told her I have no respect for you and you allowed that man to kill your child and that the both of you should burn in hell for that. I am should not have said that to her at the time but it just burns me up when things like that happened to precious children.

Brandon   January 7th, 2009 1:16 pm ET

Casey’s whole “entourage” of supporters are doing everything they can to get her off. And WHY??? They know she is guilty, that’s why her civil lawyer doesn’t want her to answer any questions because the 5th protects her from self-incrimination. Those were his exact words so they know she is guilty. How could any friggin defense lawyer who knows that he is representing a baby killer try and get her off and out of jail?? That just baffles me. If i were a defense lawyer and the evidence that was presented showed clearly that my client was pathetic baby killer, i would fire myself from representing and force them to find some other lawyer. It will all come out in time and i believe the parents know more than they are letting on since they have asked for immunity to answer questions. Gee, that don’t sound like they know something!! The whole Anthony family minus Caylee are pathetic and i hope they all get what they deserve!

Lorri   January 7th, 2009 1:20 pm ET

So if Zanny was really Caylee’s nanny, as Casey claims, how come no one ever heard little Caylee mention Zanny? Through video clips I have seen on TV of Caylee, I get the impression she was a very smart and expressive little girl and if there was a nanny Zanny in her life surely someone in the family or Casey’s friends would have heard her mention the name Zanny! My 2 year old mentions his daycare teachers’ names at all times to anyone who cares to listen to his silly little monologues or dialogues. Poor little Angel Caylee, may your soul rest in perfect peace and may your mother’s perish for what she’s done to you and has put others through!

charlene guier   January 7th, 2009 1:22 pm ET

omigod, casey filed COUNTERSUIT against Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez ????? what brass cahoneys she has! i hope zenaida gets her win in court, casey is so obviously full of …poo. put the death penalty back on the table, why waste florida’s tax $$$s to support her?

micky   January 7th, 2009 1:24 pm ET

What would make anyone believe Casey Anthony would tell the truth just because she was being Deposed?

Gerri   January 7th, 2009 1:27 pm ET

Brandon you said it all. they ar pathetic. They all need to be behind bars. They deneid Casey been pregnant to her uncle. Something in their air smells real bad. It is all the lies the family is telling. I think the her defense attorney is only doing to get his name out their so he can make more money off of low life criminals. That is why he will not drop the case he is like the Anthony family.

Margaret   January 7th, 2009 1:28 pm ET

I agree with Mercededs…not that it will bring Caylee back but it might proof that the whole family is involved if Lee or George were the biological father of sweet innocent Caylee….I think they should BOTH have paternity testing required!!!

Devil's Advocate   January 7th, 2009 1:30 pm ET

I believe Casey to be guilty however, Zeneida could in fact be some how involved. I think her lawsuit is premature and if she does in fact have any involvement a premature defamation lawsuit could in fact sway the publics opinion which it looks like it already has.

kate   January 7th, 2009 1:31 pm ET

I hope she is put into the general prison popultion – many women inmates have children they love. She’ll be the lowest of the low in prison and I hope the other inmates make her pay every minute of every day of her life. Or better yet, put her in isolation for the rest of her evil life. She’s the spawn of the devil.

Chris e   January 7th, 2009 1:36 pm ET

Whats really sad is that I can see the outcome of Casey…She goes to prison and has a few of the male guards eating out of the palm of her hands…..She will manipulate those men too….Someone will try and smuggle her in something….Might even attempt to help her escape….I hope they keep a close eye on this manipulative soul…

Brenda Bougrine   January 7th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

Casey should be praying to God they put the death penalty back on the table, because little miss priss absolutley won’t last long in the prison system after killing her little baby girl, they’ll do to her what they did to Jeffery Dahmer.

Shannon   January 7th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

One of the articles had disclosed that when Casey had said Gonzalez had Caylee one of the detectives asked her to show her where she lived and left her. When they got there, the apartment Casey told them had been never been rented and was empty since Feb and the Apt manager said that Gonzalez never lived there!! But it was stated that one of Casey’s friends worked at the Apt office and she would go visit her there! I believe she used this woman’s information from the info card that was left at apartment! Casey Anthony is one sick cookie and is a pathological liar, I’m not sure she can even tell the truth period! She has lied to everyone, including friends and family and I wouldn’t be surprised if the father was her brother! Things with Casey and her family just keep getting more and more crazy as the information is released!! Casey is responsible for the death of that beautiful liitle girl and I hope she gets what she deserves!

Sherri   January 7th, 2009 1:39 pm ET

Here is something to think about: George Anthony told police, on tape, that Casey had not worked in 2 years. If she was not working, why would she need a nanny? If she was not working, how did she pay a nanny? If she was not working, what did she do with Caylee all day? Was she with Casey? If not, where was Caylee for 8 hours a day, when she was supposedly with the nanny? None of it makes sense. And her parents know this well. Both knew in their hearts what they smelled and what they suspected. But both now claim differently. I guess this is understandable: you don’t WANT to believe that your child could be a murderer. But it sure looks that way.
Of course she has not been convicted, so let’s keep that in mind too.

CALI GIRL   January 7th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

Hey they can file a countersuit against anyone. My grandparents were recently killed in car accident when a car broadsided them after running a stop sign. The person who killed them filed a suit against my family because my grandparents car caused her injuries!

As for Casey, if the courts do not find her guilty. She will get her sentence in the form of living an etnernity burning in hell.

Char D.   January 7th, 2009 1:45 pm ET

As for the “cleaning lady” in the background Linda S. asks about, I think that video was taken at the nursing home where the Greatgrandpa is, and is an employee.?
This might sound a little over-the-top, but nobody knows who Caylee’s biological father is….supposedly died, etc.,and Casey made a statement about family abuse,and Lee Anthony originally refused to give blood or DNA, AND Caylee’s name is a combination of CAseY & LEE…and Casey likes to tell a little bit of truth in her lies, Could Lee be the father? I know a woman who named her child after the woman her husband had an affair with so “he would never forget it!”

Scott   January 7th, 2009 1:47 pm ET

It’s good to see people in America are still quilty untill proven inocent…….Oh wait, isnt it the other way around???? So much for a fair jury trial!!

MB   January 7th, 2009 1:51 pm ET

How sad that the three people Caylee trusted more than anyone in
this world to keep her safe have let her down so badly. Poor baby.

A digusted parent of 5!!   January 7th, 2009 1:52 pm ET

It looks to me like Casey Anthony somehow got ahold of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez’s information card (maybe in the garbage? or discarded by the apartment complex) and then used the information on it to supply police with the false information.

joanne   January 7th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

To Deb in Ireland
Though the things she is accused up are reprehensible – unless someone saw her kill her daughter – there is no way a death sentance should be given. An eye for an eye “thinking” might have worked in the middle ages as populations were small – and they truly had “eye witness” testimony.
I believe she deserves to have all rights and privelidges as an American stripped from her. The needle – I don’t think so.

Michael in Houston   January 7th, 2009 1:57 pm ET

Casey Anthony really is something. She has managed to get under the skin of the entire Nation, alienate herself from everyone save her parents, and has managed to become as despised and revolting as OJ Simpson. And did it all before her trial!!

Dont let all the weirdness fool you. This family and her attorneys will be unleashing every weird story and fabrication they can in an attempt to create enough of a freakshow in hopes of confusing the public and eventually the jury. Its part of a defense strategy and likely the only option they have given the circumstances.

defending a pyschopath is no easy chore!!

Jon the Lawyer   January 7th, 2009 1:57 pm ET

These comment sites have become nothing more than a vehicle for people to spout their baseless opinions and vent their prejudicies. This may provide some psycho-drama release, but it is not news-worthy.

Defense lawyers are duty bound to defend their clients and get the best result they can. They are not “friggin” and they are not unethical. And it is often difficult to do what you have sworn to do as a professional in a noble calling.

The Fifth Amendment is a near sacred constitutional right that I thank God we still have. The question is whether a civil court will require the action to go forward now, and whether it will then rule that refused answers may be construed against the witness who asserts her criminal-law based rights. THESE are issues worth some considered and reasonable discussion. But maybe I am just casting my pearls here.

Gerri   January 7th, 2009 1:59 pm ET

Someone knows what really happened but no-one will come forward. This little girl was murdered and whomever did and persons involved should and need to do the right thing and come forward. No it will nor bring Caylee back but it will let her rest in peace.

C. J. Barnes   January 7th, 2009 1:59 pm ET

I really think there is a possibility of Caylee being Casey and Lee’s child. There is a reason they will not confirm the true identity of the father.

Amy   January 7th, 2009 2:01 pm ET

I know of a similar case where a deposition was taken in a civil case while criminal charges were pending. The defendant pled the 5th on almost every question. Another deposition was taken in the civil case after the criminal proceedings were done but now the defendant “doesn’t remember.” Liars like Casey Anthony will NEVER come clean with the truth and it is likely we will never know what happened in the matter of Caylee Anthony, or the matter of Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

zelda   January 7th, 2009 2:04 pm ET

it’s just a circus.It’s vile.
Lee (casey’s brother) is no doubt the dad of Caylee.Talk about all the weird twists in THIS family!!!! Gooood Gaaaaaaawd.Stephen King couldn’t do any better.
I feel sorry for no one but Caylee of course.
Even some of he lawyers are vile.
It has all touched the core of all of us out here that still have our humanity in tact.
The outcome of this must satisfy that humanity or it begins to chip away at our collective reason.
Wrong and evil are in the dictionary .
I am sick of the Anthony family……..they all need to pay and they will.

Simon Gomez   January 7th, 2009 2:07 pm ET

I can not believe that florida is not going to give her the needle. She has lied about everything. How a mother could ever take her childs life, an eye for an eye i say, do to her what she did to her little girl. better yet hang a bunch of her daughters pictures including those of her corpse just out of her reach in her jail cell including the ceiling so she has to see them at all times and it’s the last thing she sees before she closes her eyes at night.

Rebecca   January 7th, 2009 2:14 pm ET

Zenaida has every right to pursue legal action against Casey Anthony. I think what she did to her was despicable! Casey has told so many lies and has ruined so many lives, that’s her turn to have her life ruined. It’s just too bad that she will only end up with life in prison for what’s she done! Personally, I feel she deserves much worse!

Young Mom too!   January 7th, 2009 2:27 pm ET

Little Miss Sunshine….. How could any mother hurt such a little flower!
I had my daughter at a very young age and it was very hard, but I could never hurt her. I would have walked away first, and that’s what I just dont understand…Why didnt she just walk away. Cindy and George had her most of the time from what Ive heard. I think she was jealous because she wasnt the baby anymore, the parents were urging her to grow up and get her own place…that wasnt really convenient being that she couldnt hold a job, she met a new boyfriend and the partying was pretty fun! Bottom Line: New boyfriend probably didnt have any interest in raising her baby. Mom wasnt gonna babysit anymore, she chloroforms the baby…maybe several times and leaves her in the trunk, car gets towed and after a few days in the hot Fla. sun,(not sure how many) who could live in that! So now Baby is DEAD! Now what to do other than a cover up? Those were my thoughts any way, but who knows with all the lies from her will we ever really know the truth?
GOD BLESS OUR “LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE”! She’ll forever be wanted in our hearts!

nicunurse   January 7th, 2009 2:31 pm ET

I think its laughable that an unemployed women (casey) could afford a nanny.. there are hard working women who can’t afford child care… who would believe she could afford a nanny…

i feed horrible for Zeneida. She should sue the pants off Casey.. there has to be money there…. how else is Casey affording all these high priced experts?

Zeneida you have my best wishes and prayers for you and your family.. for living with this nightmare Casey has brought into your life..

wishing you the best honey!!!!!

Becky G   January 7th, 2009 2:31 pm ET

The entire Anthony family is responsible for this tragedy. Casey made it clear in the beginning that she did not want to be a mother. She proceeded on her own and arranged for a friend to adopt Caylee and her parents would not allow it. They forced her to keep a child that she did not want. I can understand them not wanting to lose their grandchild, but in the end that is what happened. They could have adopted Caylee themselves and sent Casey on her way. If you force someone to do something that they don’t want to do, they will find a way to get out of doing it. So sad that it was raising a child, and the remedy was murder.

Teresa   January 7th, 2009 2:32 pm ET

If they keep Casey in prison for the rest of here life or give her a death sentence it will never be justice. What they need to do is pull her out of that private cell she is in and put her in general population and let her fight to servive with some of those other Mother who made bad choices and would love to be with there children and can’t . I am sure they would get some justice for that poor child. The problem is we protect people like her and Suzan Smith too much. I say turn some of those women in prison loose on her and maybe they can jog her memory of what really happen to that child.

Julie   January 7th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

Folks, we are innocent until proven guilty in this country. While the case is still pending saying things like “this woman is GUILTY and deserves the CHAIR for her crimes” makes you sound ignorant and reactionary. It is not up to the public to pass judgement in some sort of media circus, it is a matter for the courts. This is a horrible thing that has happened but losing control of your emotions isn’t going to bring the girl back from the dead, it will just make you look foolish.

kIMBERLY sTUART   January 7th, 2009 2:42 pm ET

WHY ARE YOU CRYING ANTHONY, YOU DID THIS TO HER, YOU FAILED HER TERRIBLE, YOU MURDERED HER. DONT SHOW CARE NOW AFTER IT’S TO LATE…

betty   January 7th, 2009 2:49 pm ET

I have thought the same thing about Lee, but then look at that beautiful little girl and wonder how someone that acts like I have seen those two men act could have fathered such a wonder little girl.

But then I don’t understand how someone that calls herself a mother could have done such a thing to a child either. I have 2 adult sons, if someone was to hurt one of them they would have me to go through. My children are my life and I would die for them not kill them. I sit and watch Nancy Grace and cry and wonder how she could sleep at night without having nightmares. SHE IS NO MOTHER SHE IS JUST A WOMAN THAT GAVE BIRTH. And a poor one at that.

CASEY, i hope you never have another good nights sleep!!!!

margaret   January 7th, 2009 2:51 pm ET

i can’t seem to grip that how did she know the name and car make and all the other info she had on this Zeneida woman ..she just didn’t pick it out of her hat or did she… she must have had contact with this woman before ..i truly believe she is guilty and should pay for her crime……..

Danny   January 7th, 2009 2:55 pm ET

They should do away instain mothers who kill their babbys.

mari   January 7th, 2009 2:58 pm ET

right now it seems the safest place for casey anthony is in jail and she should hope she doesn’t get out because she might not make it to the trial, and i do believe she has come from a very dysfunctional family and caylee had to pay for it.

Dawn   January 7th, 2009 3:06 pm ET

Doesn’t it just break your heart when you see little Caylee asking “are you tired Papa”!!! – Playing peek-a-boo- etc- What a perfect – sweet little girl – I only wish I were blessed enough to have had her for my own! My husband and I are just sickened with the way that “Mother” (cats treat their kittens better!) just threw that Angel Baby away- I can’t – and never will understand how such ANIMALS can treat someone sooo precious with less regard than pooh on their shoe – Casey Will Burn for Eternity – dare I ask if that is even enough??? God Bless The Children!!!! Dawn from Michigan -

charlene guier   January 7th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

or put casey in general population, just for like 10 minutes…other inmates will take care of her, esp ones doing time for a crime, that took them away from their kids they DO love/want….

Maria   January 7th, 2009 3:22 pm ET

Amazing, I can not believe that she continues to carry on like she is, playing the poor-poor pitiful me card- pathetic.
I have little sympathy for her parents, they had to of known their daughter was some sort of wack job, let alone an unfit parent with her track record of stealing from her own mother, the lies…and did you see the inverview with her ex-fiance’?
Casey was jealous of the relationship he had with whom he though was his child? That should have been the first sign…
I can not imagine what that baby must have been feeling or what she went through- My thoughts and prayers are with her everyday.

Reily's Mommy   January 7th, 2009 3:25 pm ET

I don’t think the world will ever really know what truly happened or why. This case haunts me when I look at my son or even think of him. I believe in my heart that Casey is undeniably to blame for this, whether it was drugs, incest, mental illness, etc… All of her decisions were wrong, all the lies she told. If for some reason she actually didn’t kill her daughter, theres no doubt in my mind that her actions caused it never the less. My first reaction is to have her put to death, but it’s possible that life in jail may prove worse. Hopefully one day she will regret her actions and will be haunted night and day by Caylees pain and suffering. I’m not a religious woman but I have to believe that ultimately Casey will have to face a higher authority then any of us and Caylee will have justice. As for the other Anthony’s… god have mercy on you, you certainly need it. (said with pure disgust)

Brenda   January 7th, 2009 3:28 pm ET

What on earth is Casey Anthony counter-suing for?

Reading Comprehension   January 7th, 2009 3:29 pm ET

It’s quite obvious that those of you who keep saying you hope Casey get’s the death penalty haven’t a) been paying attention, or b) you can’t read. The district attorney has already stated he does not intend to pursue the death penalty in this case.

Pleading the 5th is not indicative of guilt in any fashion. Neither is refusing to testify in a criminal case. Guilty or innocencent, almost no trial attorney is going to allow his client on the stand as there is simply too much risk. Pleading the 5th is a guaranteed right of the constitution and is there to prevent coercion and obtaining false confessions. Some of you people really need to take a course on the US constitution.

Denise Bauer   January 7th, 2009 3:43 pm ET

My question is…how did Casey afford a “Nanny” in the first place??? She lied about her job at Universal (along with everything else) and hadn’t worked there since 2006. I don’t recall hearing that she was employed. Without a job to go to, why would she need a Nanny, especially with her parents to watch Caylee. Last time I checked, Nanny’s aren’t cheap!!!! If she did have a job, she would not have needed to forge checks or steal Credit cards. I believe the Nanny never existed. Looking back through all the coverage, the web searches she did for ways to “off” her child were done back in March, so this is definately pre-meditated murder…Zenaida just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, well, at least her information card anyway!!! I can’t wait til the trial is over and she is punished to the fullest extent of the law. Ultimately, she’ll meet her maker in the end and won’t be able to lie her way out of that one. God bless you little Caylee!!

SCENARIO #29.445b.
Young girl Casey long-time silent sufferer of father George’s or brother Lee’s incest. Dumb dodo mother Cindy. Casey psychiatric mess. Casey now suspects/expects the abuse to cross the generation gap to include little Caylee. She is trapped.
SOLUTION: The maid confided that she “knew” someone who would intercede on Caylee’s behalf and secretly deliver her to a loving couple who would adopt her and shower her with natural love. Casey made the drop on schedule; then, lighty tripping on her “sly” solution, she went on to have fun publicly but to privately celebrate.
Someone else botched up the plan .. maybe smart Caylee put them on notice .. but the chld ended up dead in “their” hands, and an immediate effort made to plant evidence that would later implicate the crazy mother, Casey.

Bob   January 7th, 2009 4:57 pm ET

Lies, lies, lies, all this Casey has been doing to Police, her parents, and her self, is lying. Doesn’t the girl know that people have brains? This girl has told so many lies that even she believes them. In Police terminology we call this “selective memory” you keep saying the same lies over and over again and they start to believe there true. This Casey has committed the worst sin by being such a horrible mother. Between her dancing like a hooker on a pole at night clubs, sleeping with half of Florida, and dumping her kid off to who ever would take her, is in my mind SICK!! Some of things she has said are simply bull**** and were all smart enough to do the math. I know she innocent until proven guilty but, she is already guilty of being one of the worst parents in history. All this, for what, so she go out and party like a tramp? Good luck Casey but, there is enough harm they can give you that warrants what you have put your little daughter through.

Renee   January 7th, 2009 5:04 pm ET

Caylee was at a doctors office in that video Linda Smith. The women in the back ground was a nurse. I pray Casey burns for what she did to little Caylee….

fh   January 7th, 2009 5:12 pm ET

i saw zeneida gonzalez on tv.. you could tell she was suffering… people were calling her threating to do harm to her and her family she evidently has lost her job….. she did not have the means to afford the body guards that casey and the anthonys had… i can’t imagine how terrified she must be.. i bet it was difficult to sleep, eat or even go out . i cant’ imagine how her kids were treated at school’.. my heart goes out to her… and she loves her childern and has lost the means to support them … all because she filled out an card to rent an apartment… it could happen to any of us…. Who gives a crap about casey…..she needs to answer the questions… she owes it to this women…. This women is deserves her good name back… I can’t imagine this poor womens life will ever be the same…

Mary in BC   January 7th, 2009 6:38 pm ET

What a sad case this is. A dead child. A screwed up family. However i dont view this any different than all the other sad stories that we hear of these days. Pregnant marines being murdered, husbands killing pregnant women because they dont want the responsibility. I think thats part of it as in Casey’s case. Sociopathic behavior. Look at all those other cases out there where innocent family members are killed. If you read the definition of a sociopath this girl has many of the traits and her sick family are enablers. They may not know what to call it but they know something’s wrong with her. They care for her and they can’t see past that because they have been covering for her all their lives probably. They know how to fake being normal to a point but that basic sociopathic instinct comes out. Probably the child was in the way. I am sure the Police know more than what they are telling everyone, which makes it more titillating for the general public, but sociopaths don’t think the same way as other people do. Their needs need to be met first and they dont have a problem in eliminating the problem. We hear about the ted bundies and the jeffery dahlmers but over 2 million americans have sociopathic behavior. Of course not all murder but it can end up that way.

Thats why Casey’s behaviour is so unbelievable to many, because they dont have that trait.

The sad part about this situation is that its a child. She had no choice and believe me she would recognize it in her mother even at her young tender age. Children know, they just know how to get around it most of the time. Being such a tiny child she couldnt say something is wrong with mommy..i dont want to be with her any more. An adult may recognize some of it in someone and say..look i’ve had it with you….im cutting loose, or some like the Lacey Peterson case don’t and just trust and want it to work no matter what, but as an adult at least you can make an informed decision regardless of the situation. Not to mention people can hide their cruel intensions very well.

I dont know the ins and outs of that family’s situation, but i can tell you what, this family has gone through some weird things before this happened. They cover for her and they have right from the beginning. It is human nature to hide what isnt acceptable. There is no justice for the little girl in this situation no matter how much her extended family loved her, because they can’t see any further than their daughter, and if the daughter is a sociopath, she will cry real tears, and she will tell further stories, some mixed with the truth, but only to get off because thats all she knows how to do. Its her instinct to do so. If there was incest going on it may escalate the situation but i dont think it causes murder necessarily. Why do people have to kill other people or animals or anything. Its a bitter world we live in but its nothing new and thats the saddest part of all of it, it never will be new, it will just continue.

You gotta wonder   January 7th, 2009 6:47 pm ET

A G – I have always wondered who was paying Biaz also – Remember George said Casey found Biaz and didn’t know for sure how she was paying him – thought she might have 5,000 but didn’t know how she got that – however, apparently, from what I have recently heard, Biaz sold photos of Caylee and others regarding this case to the media for a 6 figure amount. Hmmmmm. No wonder the prosecution doesn’t want the defense to have total control of the photos or x-rays of Caylee’s body – no telling where they would wind up. Also – check out Casey and Lee talking in the jail about ‘where should I look for Caylee?” Casey said to look close – close to home in a setting familiar to the family. Mom should be able to give you specifics about what we have talked about. Just how much closer could Caylee have been found??? And how much more familiar than very close to ol’ Casey’s highschool hangout??? This case is disgusting. The thought of me having to pay one red cent for her to live the rest of her life in jail appalls me.

Christy Best   January 7th, 2009 7:11 pm ET

I believe the real victim here is Caylee.

Casy Anthony is a Psysociath! She lives in a parallel Universe.
Not in our world. this poor toddler was collateral damage in this womens mind. Between her Mother and Grandmother, she never had a chance.

I feel that Casey Anthony needs to be in a Mental Instution behind bars, forever and always. She doesn’t have any redeeming qualities.

She is very self-intitled and very self centered. She never wanted this child, instead of doing the sensible thing, and putting this child up for adoption, Casey and her Mother, used this poor child as a pawn, in there dysfunctional world. One against the other. The both need serious mental help.

Janet Smith=Hallett   January 7th, 2009 7:11 pm ET

Look to Brother Lee ffor the identity of the father, has anyone ever got a DNA sample from him. That whole family is weird, with all their lies and half truths. My theory, without predisue, , for the want of a word, is that YES Casy did kill CAylee. Casy wanted to party and did not want the responsiblity of a baby. So she put her to sleep in her trunk. and she died. Brother Lee came to the rescue and took the body. That is why Casy did not know where Caylee was. Ask Grandpa about the plastic bag that he said the tow truck driver threw in the dumpster. what was in the plastic bag.

Jackie   January 7th, 2009 7:40 pm ET

I still don’t understand why the meter reader just didn’t go over there and check out that site for himself back in August when he thought something was there and had notified the police and nothing was done! That just doesn’t sound right to let 4 months go by and then bang there’s a body! Why didn’t the meter reader go see for himself and just think if the body would have been discovered back then how much more evidence would be available. There is something up with that..I don’t get it.

common sense   January 7th, 2009 8:56 pm ET

I think some of you just don’t put a lot of thought into your comments. One thing I’m certain of – pieces of this story are missing. “How could someone murder their baby?” – Casey is a manipulative liar, but I really don’t think she is a murderer…. Criminal negligence, manslaughter, something of that sort. Murder is the intentional killing of a person and I have yet to see one indication of that. I’ve seen a lot suggesting a cover-up, but nothing suggesting intentional killing, just a scared, abused little girl (Casey, not Caylee) who has obvious untreated psychological problems and may very well have made a really stupid decision that seemed mildly wrong at the time, but not murderous. I’ve done stupid things in the past that didn’t lead to my death or anyone else’s, only to see someone else later on living a nightmare when it does – i.e. that poor lady who could never have known that stupid girl would hang herself over a boy she’d never even met. The reason there are courts is that public opinion fails to really try to understand what actually happened.

Jon   January 7th, 2009 9:52 pm ET

The idea that Caylee was the child of Casey and her brother Lee is interesting to me. The child’s name incorporates the names of both Casey and Lee. The Anthony family’s decision to minimize any focus on Caylee’s father makes ample room for speculation. While the legal issues associated with the case may be interesting, I am not well versed in matters of law and prefer to stick to ideas and gossip. For those legal scholars who find such gossip distasteful, there are forums dedicated to more formal considerations; such forums might more adequately serve the interests of a professional.

Kathy   January 8th, 2009 8:13 am ET

everyone knows shes guilty. put her in a bare room with nothing and see how long she lasts. i say let her rott . anyone who kills a child should get death i dont care who u are

Wendie   January 8th, 2009 9:33 am ET

Hey Reading comprehension:

We understand that she won’t get death, to damn bad.

Why? Because now Casey is a victim, just like all the other sickos in the world like Gasey, Dahmer, Manson. Guess they were victims too. They get justice, just not the true victim.

And Casey is not the true victim here. People wake up, you take a life, then yours is taken bye the court system that is the way it should be.

Ramona   January 8th, 2009 11:21 am ET

I can only pray that this woman is restored. What a little vermin Casey is, she is a sick beyond belief, and to drag a poor working loving Mother into her sick web of lies and ruin Ms Gonzales reputation calls for a seroius compensation. Casey cares not, she is getting her 3 squares and a warm place to sleep, Ms Gonzales probably can’t find work or a place to live due to this mess. May justice prevail for Ms. Gonzales and Caylee two of the biggest victims here.

human--something casey will never be   January 8th, 2009 12:24 pm ET

The fact that Casey Anthony’s defense team has and will create reasonable doubt to the jury, regardless of how guilty that evil unhuman beast is, and the death penalty, as deserving as it is for a crime of such magnitude with obviously zero remorse, will be off the table. We all as taxpayers will pay to provide that creature 3 meals a day in a nice heated and cooled facility for the rest of her shrimp eating life. While Caylee is decomposed and is now laying in pieces, God Rest her dear little precious soul, in a cardboard box in a dark funeral home, her selfish mother is enjoying shrimp, listening to the radio, and being protected from other inmates. Do us a favor you correction officers in orange county, let her roam and turn the inmates loose! Save us all the tax money. And let her feel what Caylee felt, for once, she may actually have human emotion.

Nan   January 8th, 2009 12:46 pm ET

Regarding the comment from Julie.. How can you waste your breath in defense of Casey Anthony when the bones of this innocent child have not been given a Christian burial? In my opinion, no one in the Anthony family is completely innocent and not one of them (Casey, Cindy, George, or Lee) dud enough to protect this child or her memory. It’s all about the money. How pathetic.

Cheryl   January 8th, 2009 2:14 pm ET

You know, I don’t know how Casey Anthony will ever get a fair jury trial after all the media coverage of everything she has been accused of doing. Each of us know what we think and believe. I do not believe, even if she is convicted and sent to death row, that she will be able to PC up in prison and still be safe. Casey sure did gain the attention she wanted, that angered EVERYONE.

Linda   January 8th, 2009 3:37 pm ET

Could someone please tell me if Casey and the poor little girl Caylee was living with her parents. I have 3 granddaughters that don’t live with me and cannot stand more than 2 days passing without talking to them.
If something like this happened to one of my grandchildren I would be in a straight jacket, have to be sedated, etc., when the truth comes out I think the grandparents will be charged as well because they know more than they are telling and admitting their personal envolvement in this case. What a dis-functional family and if I see Cassey wipe one more of her pretend tears I will throw up. She needs the death sentence no questions ask.

human--something casey will never be   January 8th, 2009 3:45 pm ET

yes casey and caylee both lived with george and cindy. the entire 31 days caylee was “missing” cindy and george neither one contacted authorites. they beleived that monster that was lying and saying she was with the nanny. the make beleive nanny. there was no nanny. casey was chloroforming her daughter n putting her in the trunk while she was out “escorting” to make money. she overdosed her one night and when george almost opened her trunk and saw her she went and dumped the body. she has no soul. BUT what i would like to hear is someones ideas about why the PI’s were at the scene where body was found BEFORE body was found?????

charlene guier   January 8th, 2009 4:00 pm ET

i hope the jury can see that casey is like ted bundy and scott peterson, good looking/charming for appearance sake but just down right sociopath,self centered, evil, murdering scum. i also hope she cant sway her males guards to do her bidding/favors…her parents, esp mom, have been handling her w/ kids gloves, catering to her lies/ fantasys( about zanny the nanny) omigod. her dad, i do feel for him a little, you can tell he has no control, and has to go along, and it is wearing him down..im glad he DID testify against her in that hearing…keeping the faith jury will see past that facade of caseys and find her guilty= as well as side w/ zeniadia for her case.

tonya   January 8th, 2009 5:39 pm ET

as far as getting zenaidas information after getting her name from the apt complex-remember she was sleeping with 2 different police officers. a rookie that quit i beleive, and one that was forced to resign for lying about his invovlement after it was uncovered through caseys instant messages on her computer that they had a sexual relationship. couldnt she have said hey look this lady up? wouldnt she have gotten make and model of car, address etc?? i think she used alot of people to get what she needed for this cover up. who agrees with leonards theory of the daisy chain leading roy kronk to the body???

Jack   January 9th, 2009 1:58 pm ET

Have a question that through all the material I cannot find the answer to. Did Tot Mom (Casey), actually know Zenaida Gonzales? If not then where or how did Casey come up with this name?

Larry in Houston, TX   January 9th, 2009 3:14 pm ET

Kat McGuire, Kansas – YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT !!!!

It would be over with, and will not make any more news….not to mention Justice will prevail !!

j   January 9th, 2009 4:28 pm ET

so why is everyone think that lee is the father? i mean this case seriously is disturbing, but to think that they would do each other? i mean inst that a little overboard? i mean this whole thing is ridiculous, but idk i just dont think that they would being bro n sis, go that far as to sleeping with each other? i mean ya she is physco and i beleive she did kill caylee (RIP) but idk.
iread all blogs on all websites about this case and i do find everyones opinions interesting.

Betty Phillips   January 9th, 2009 7:35 pm ET

Caylee is now in heaven, her mom is doomed to Hell and the baby sitter is so much the victim also. I pray that the grandparents can find in their hearts the peace within by telling the truth. As for Lee, he is one shady character and no doubt involved in this murder, I do not believe he is the father (that is sooo sick). The entire world is watching this CRAZY tot mom, she too is going to get her payback.
We must put some blame on the grandparents, they know their daughter is as guilty as hell, they too need to be punished right along with the tot mom. Caylee, rest in the arms of Jesus. Remember the hymn “JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN”, oops now Casey will be jealous of Jesus, she is a MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!! Betty

Sue   January 11th, 2009 2:35 pm ET

I can attest to the fact that an unscrupulous person could easily walk into the office of an apartment complex and pick up personal information of a potential tenant. When I was looking at apartments recently in Florida, the apartment complex agent asked me for my drivers license and she then went to make a copy of it. She put my license on her desk blotter and then walked toward me to show me an apartment. I was NOT comfortable with my drivers license being left on her desk, along with the copy she had made, and I told her to please lock my information up in a safe place. She was very reluctant to do so because obviously she never dreamed that anyone would come snooping around while we were out looking at apartments. She was the only agent in the office at that time, and the doors to the office were open for anyone to walk in and “nose” around if they wanted to while we were out. Reluctantly, the agent locked my info up.

I can only imagine that the agent at the Saw Grass apartments that day left Zeneida Gonzalez’ personal information out, and then left the office with Zeneida to show her an apartment. In walks Casey Anthony and being the opportunist that she is, she memorized the info on the application left behind by the careless agent – or she wrote it down – whatever – and this information was weaved into her web of lies as to what happened to her daughter Caylee.

I am sure that this is very close to the scenario as to how Casey Anthony got Zeneidas’ information.

Shayleen   January 11th, 2009 2:43 pm ET

Casey looks like a RAT! She is UGLY! Inside and out.

j   January 13th, 2009 9:40 am ET

I just really hopes she does get what she deserves. I mean doesn’t she have the ‘dream team’ working for her? the one who got OJ off? i mean OJ!! Yeah, she is no celebrity, but I’m kind of getting nervous to the fact that she could walk!! It just really makes me mad that they say that the bones found were caylee’s, but they can’t find any stress or traumain the bones? SO WHAT!!! she is dead! and she did do it i beleive. i mean c’mon they found cloroform in her trunk on the remains AND on her computer!! isnt that ebnough???

j   January 13th, 2009 11:12 am ET

another thing that i reaaallllly dont understnad is, so all casey wanted to do is party right? get f’d up and sleep around. well, how, by killing her child, now she is sitting in jail how is she gunna have all the fun that she dreamed of? i mean, hmm mind boggeling dont u think? i still dont understand how someone could think they can get away with murder with our technology now. hmmm what kind of partying is she gunna do now? i wonder if she realizes that she will most likely be sitting in prison for the rest of her life. hmmmm… if only she could be with the prison population. wouldnt that be nice?!?

tonya in maryland   January 13th, 2009 11:34 am ET

Mich   January 15th, 2009 3:11 pm ET

It’s so funny how Casey sat in jail talking to her parents saying how she doesn’t care what anybody out there thinks of her……Well maybe she should have because now they are the people who will sit on the jury……..She is the the most hated mother in the world. Her defense can pull together any “dream team” they want…….Most logical people will dwell on the fact that this is a “mother” who waited a month to report her daughter missing and would have waited longer if her crazy mother didn”t force her to. How anyone could have looked into Caylee’s big beautiful eyes and harmed her is a monster of the worst kind……God Bless America’s little sweetheart…….

Sim   January 15th, 2009 4:30 pm ET

J…..Most peolpe think that Caylee’s name is a mixture of Casey and Lee. I personally don’t think that it is Lee’s either. Casey claims her brother came on to her to her fiance but……I don’t believe anything that comes out of her mouth….Sounds like she wanted to be the damsel in distress.They have Lee’s DNA now and if need be they can test that. Also everyone is in agreement this is one disfunctional family and they would not put anything past them.

CR   January 16th, 2009 9:21 pm ET

OMG! just watched Nancy Grace show tonight with the video of jailhouse visit wth Casey and her Parents!!! She says absolutely NOTHING about the disapearance of her little girl. Absolutely nothing. Just when I thought I had seen it all with her … I could barely stomach it. I thought to myself… ” Are her parents REALIZING that she has said nothing about her missing daughter!!! ” Are they GETTING IT?! She goes on about round about nothings… as the call goes on …do they even notice the obvious non-exsistent discussion about Calee? ?? No one asked the question to the doctors on the panel about what the parents think at this point. Or if they in their minds know that its too late , that at the time of the video in August, it was too late? Even if she is not responsible for this… why is Casey not greif struck, sick, sad, … something! My God, even Susan Smith showed some emotion. This is the worst! EVER.

forthebirds   January 18th, 2009 7:15 am ET

I was wondering about this brother of Casey …. where has he been all this time? I think as close as Casey says she is to him, he must know something. Does anyone feel the same?

j   January 19th, 2009 10:44 am ET

sim….yea i guess they are disfunctional, but idk it just seems way out there that she would and he would go to that point. ew. although, it does haapen. i just realllllly hope that she doenst get let of on a mental dissorder. urg. does anyone know when her next court date is for this or no? idk this whole thing urks me a lot. i just hope she gets whats coming to her and the jury feels the same.
thats soo messed up that her own mother washed whatever was in the car. i mean, jesus!! that knife or whatever they found was obviously to dissmember her own flesh and blood. how discusting.

Lynda   January 23rd, 2009 12:39 pm ET

I just heard that George was missing, then found in a hotel, had texted his family about taking his own life.Does any of this sound like his involvement in this is getting to him? He may not have done anything but i think he and Cindy knew something a long time ago? Just my thoughts, i hope if Casey did this to Caylee she should pay for it. And pay dearly

Lisa   January 23rd, 2009 6:52 pm ET

I agree with you, Lynda…I believe he is finally “cracking” under this pressure..I feel the same i dont know if he had any direct involvement in Caylees death but i do strongly believe he knows more than he can handle…all along George and Cindy have looked so exhausted and drained, Cindy had lost i think 30 pounds, and George was the “rock” of the couple trying to be strong and show a united front…well now im curious to see how Casey is going to handle seeing her father mentally collapse, her mother is likely about 5 paces behind that….i think her “fiercely defensive family circle” is collapsing…..Casey has killed her daughter, put her parents and thousands of people through grief and now the psychological effects are crumbling her mother and father…all thats left is good ‘ol Lee….
I am anxious to see how this will turn out….Caylee was a little angel born from a soul-less monster.
the video of Caylee singing and cuddling with her great-grandfather at the nursing home is beautiful…God bless you Caylee….
I believe George and Cindy know more than they can handle and its killing them every day….happy to take their lives too Casey???
I am a mother of a beautiful 5 year old girl and i cannot even imagine life without her, just as most parents feel…if Casey didnt have the maternal connection, or just simply “didnt want to be tied down with a child” there are PLENTY of good deserving families who would have been honoured to have her….
I am not a psychologist, i am just a nurse, but my advice to George and Cindy would be: tell it…tell it all …..let it out and let that soul-less psycho face the music…stop defending her!
It will all come out soon enough…
God bless little Caylee…

Jackie4d   January 26th, 2009 4:55 pm ET

Casey says that she is “THE VICTIM ” not once did she offer to find her daughter, but in jail now she wants to help find her daughter knowing all the time where her child was at. Usually when a child is kidnapped there are pictures of the kidnapper. Seems to me it is everybodies fault but Casey’s how can she live with herself. She said that she did not want all this attention. She couldnot get it when her daughter was alive. Now she has it and more. Bury the baby, then deal with the mother. That little baby did not ask be born but she was born now MoM’s job was to protect her. She showed more RESPECT for a hammster inwhich she buried the she did her own baby. PITIFUL

Mary   February 9th, 2009 5:38 pm ET

Wonder no more how Casey is paying for her lawyer. According to one comment she slept with half of Florida, and that she’s a tramp. Well, it’s just amaizing what some people have to do to pay their bills.

ML   March 3rd, 2009 1:27 am ET

Everyone seems to feel that there was never a “Nanny” – not necessarily a Zanny the nanny, but any Nanny… what so ever.

So, where was Caylee Anthony on June 13, 2008 late at night?

Timelines (and police documents) show that George and Cindy Anthony stated that NEITHER Casey or Caylee stayed at their home that evening (June 13, 2008).

In police documents and time lines Anthony Lazarro states Casey spent the night June 13, 2008 – after the fusion party. He states baby Caylee did NOT spend the night. This was the first night Casey and Anthony Lazarro spent the night together alone. In his statement, he told investigators that “Caylee was with the NANNY”.

Because of the very popular date and time stamped photo/vedio of little Caylee singing at the nursing home on June 15th, 2008 while visiting her great-grandfather on Father’s Day – we all know she was very much alive on June 13th, 2008…if still alive on June 15th, 2008..

So, if Casey didn’t have a nanny – then who do you suppose was babysitting her (Caylee) the night of June 13th, 2008?

Christine Chester (who claims to be Casey’s best friend) tells investigators that she went for a walk with Casey and Caylee in the park on or around June 12th, 2008 or June 13th, 2008. She does not say anything about babysitting.

Does anyone know who babysat Caylee on June 13th, 2008?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

pj   March 7th, 2009 8:44 pm ET

Since casey says she did not kill that pretty little girl..to party………make her take or be given truth serum….would you not do it if you were not a killer?????
