Casey Anthony’s defense: Caylee’s death was an accident

If Caylee died by accidental drowning, why was she found with duct tape wrapped completely around her head, covering her mouth and nares? What purpose would that serve?

This is a brilliant defense, it plants a seed of doubt in the jurors. This may get her of with murder, which anyone with a brain can see.

I listened to the defense side on yesterday and I am appauled at the use of sexually abuse by the defense . Sexual abuse is nothing to throw around at will. NOt saying she was or was not but if this traumatized her so badly , how could she be so sexually active. On the other hand what does that have to do with her calling 911 when she discovered her child was in the pool and possibly drowned why would she stand there and look at her father holding her , I would have snatched my child out of his arms and yelled to call 911 and start to do CPR on her myself and I am quite sure with her father being a ex-police officer he knows CPR and he would have started this hinmself,She rather be accused of murder Life in prsion or death) than may 2-5 years for child neglect

I don't know why no one has touched on the fact that maybe and I believe George Anthony did in fact sexually abuse her because she acts like something crazy went on in her home she is nuts and someone who carries a bible around as I learned living in the south you are truly hiding something believe I have seen this so much down south. Now I believe he was not involved with the death of Caylee, Casey killed her but I believe the dysfunction from her home life really messed her up as with so many millions of people out there. Still does not excuse anyone to kill someone especially a child. Please think about this this is not a clear cut and dry case.

Does anybody else see the defense heading towards a double jeopardy play?

George Anthony to me looked like he was not telling the truth on the stand. I believe that is exactly what he wanted to do. I think he knows his daughter killed Caylee and he is trying to keep her off death row. If the jury thinks he is lying that must mean Casey is telling the truth about the drowning. Perhaps I have watched too many 48 Hour Mysteries but I think the guy purposely wanted to give the impression that he was lying.

If Casey Anthony is speaking then rest assured it is a lie.I don't for one second believe the convoluted story Casey and Baez have invented.They have been watching too many movies of the week! Remember the duct tape on that baby's face.Casey is a sociopath,that's why she acted like nothing was wrong,not because her father touched her.

Vinnie the reason George Anthony was looking down was if you watch slowly as he took the stand he took out a photo of Caylee and placed it in front of him. And took it when he left the stand. It's a VERY IMPORTANT fact that should be shared. As I think it helped give him the strength he needed to be there for the baby.

I believe that George did molest Casey and that would explain her promiscuity, but I think she is totally responsible for Caylee's death and is using this to punish him.

In the past weeks Casey has smiled and winked at her father walking by her in the courtroom. Speaking with her brother in the jail. Acting close to her mother, allowing clothing to come in and monies from the family to come in and now all of a sudden she has been fondled and abused since she was 8 years old. This is a disgrace to those who have gone through and still living in this horrible situation. I don't care if Mr. Anthony looked to the left, right, up or down the man has been unjustly accused and if he looked to space it does not make him guilty of a horrible molestation. So far this trial has my heart hurting for the family, so far I say Casey is heartless.

I think she went into shock , when she saw her daughter dead. She may of been happy her daughter was gone, so she could move away from her Dad having control over her. Its shows she moved out to a friends soon to get away from her parents grip on her. It was like freedom again no kid to keep her at home ,and she partied celebrating her new freedom from her Dad molesting her at home.

Casey Anthony is a sociopath ! If in fact she was sexually abused she would not leave her child with the perpetrator ,in almost all instances of incest victims do everything in their power to keep their own children out of that situation . She has had 3 years to make up this story .She never shed any tears in all the tapes I've seen over her daughter but tears for her own fate !

The symptoms Casey displays are less common to victims of sexual abuse than to victims of emmeshment with a domineering and controlling mother. If the defense opening statements are to be believed, she is a pathological liar protecting her father, her absuer. Her entire pattern of lying, in fact exhibits a person acting out an externally defined self-interest. She will "be" (exhibit and create the impression of" whtever identity gets her out of the immediae circumstance. This is more typical of a borderline pesonality disorder. Can"t wait to hear the psychological defense evidence! My heart goes out to both Cindy and George Anthony.

I thought it is quite possible her father looked down in resignation of his daughter's lies...this is what she has done...I must say I have wondered if mother, father and daughter erected this scenario to save her life...That she has told her parents what she had done and they have agreed in order to save her life...to throw her father to the wolves...although something caught my EAR...in the 911 call from Cindy Anthony about the missing granddaughter, the operator asks to speak to Casey, and Casey takes the phone and her mother says to her "answer the questions"...I just thought that an odd directive...Why did she feel she had to direct Casey at ANSWER THE QUESTIONS...are they on script? and is she reminding Casey to get on or stay on script...
We as a society have gotten so furious at family incest, it is an easy "get" for a girl to accuse her dad, but at thesame time we have chosen to err on the sideof the child...rightly so...So we are kind of in a no man's land ...did he or didn't he and how do you prove either...I must say of the girls who have suffered incest, often they do not engage in sexual relationships as they grow up or others become very promiscuous...and many avoid men period and gain weigh...does Casey fit any of those scenarios? If the mother leaves the home early...leaving the father, Caylee and Casey at home alone...anybody get dna from Caylee...is George the father? ...Did Caylee want the parents Kept out of the courtroom because the defense strategy is not true? So many questions

If Casey was molested by her father and brother she never would have left her daughter alone with George or Lee. I am sure there were occasions where there was no one to look after Caylee but her grandpa or uncle. I know if I was molested as a child, I would not leave my own child with the person that molested me. Caylee seemed like a well adjusted, precious beautiful little 2-year-old girl. Wouldn't she act afraid of her grandpa and uncle?

There are ALWAYS signs of Trauma in a child. I have 2 adopted children who were sexually abused and it is a daily struggle. I do not believe the InSession attorney, who thinks she knows something about sexual abuse and children acting normal, knows anything about the daily actions of a sexually abused child. If you met my kids for an hour or two or even a day, you would never know, but you, Ms. Attorney, aren't there when the anger and sadness comes.

It sounds to me like she has attachment issues which would stem from her mother not bonding with her.

wow...just wow!!

im not buying this defence i was molested as a child so i know about the feelings and everything that goes along with being molested. i belive mr.anthony.and casy should be ashamed of herself . when ur molested and lose a child i 4 one fell apart when my son died.and another thing if her father had molested her she would not have left her daughter with him i mean come on people ,,,,, anyway it makes me sick when people lie about being molested.it destroys a persons soul life is hard every day.and when people lie it makes it hard to believe people and we have a hard enough time getting people to believe us without people like casy making it harder.

Good to see that someone else had the same question I did. If Caylee drowned, why was there duct tape over her mouth.? How dumb does the defense think people are.

If casey was molested by the father then why would she leave her daughter with him and why was she placed in a car truck. Accidents do happen sadly but have respect for your daughter and do what's right. Also, who is the father of caylee? George? Or her brother?

If Casey was molested as a child, why would she have her daughter spend almost every day with her offender, usually alone with him, for the possibility to have the same thing to happen to her child? I was molested as a child and it gets rediculous that so many people use that as an excuse to defend their wrongful actions. Also, if the child was already dead from "drowning" why would she have any need to use duct tape over her mouth/nose? The only reason the tape would be used is to cover a mouth from making a sound or to hinder breathing. So why did she use it if this wasn't an issue because the child was already deceased?

If she was abused by her father -why did she not say anything before now–you mean to tell me you will sit in jail for three years having been removed from the abusive situation and not once ever tell the police or anyone else that could get you out of jail that it was her father, tell them what he did and that should be in jail–how can they throw out all these accusations on the father and brother without explaining her THREE YEAR SILENCE–no longer a threat , she could have received treatment and therapy, etc... and why is the media jumping on it talking about post traumatic stress blah blah blah and not raising the obvious question–WHY WOULD YOU SIT IN JAIL AND NEVER REVEAL THE "TRUTH" and like the previous comment-she was proven long before the baby's murder that she was a pathological liar. No way am I saying this family is perfect but what family is.

Is George or Lee the father of Caseys baby???

I believe George is telling the truth if it was an accident then why didn't she call the police. I'm sure George being ex-law enforcement officer he would know to call the police because they would have ruled as a accidental death. I don't believe she drowned because the medical examiner would have determine that all they said she stop breathing so if she drowned there was no need to use duct tape because she was already dead. The mother killed her daughter use the duct tape on mouth and nose and child coudn't breathe and no oxygen to the brain after a certain amount of minutes you will surely die.

I agree with the previous comment. I do not care WHERE George looked. I do not care if he did molested his child or not. Don't care. The only thing you're going to explain to me is this:

If George is a monster, why did she lie? To protect him? Her baby was dead. Why protect the monster that killed her and abused you? What have you left to lose? If that's true, you tell the truth right away. Let him go to jail like he's supposed to.

If her mental state caused her to act like everything is okay and pretend. you keep up the same story. I've seen women watch their kids get buried and still make them breakfast and iron their clothes. The trauma and their mental state will only allow them to believe their own lie.

This girl changed her story how many times? If she's with the Nanny, then even today she would still hold to that story if she's that mentally disturbed.

She lied to protect herself.

That is clear.

Why should we believe that she's not lying now? If she is so mentally disturbed, who did the psych evaluation? Is a doctor going to get up and explain how disturbed she is?

Shoulda pled out with the prosecutor years ago. She should threw all under the bus then. There's no one but Casey to get up and testify that she was abused and no one but the defense to get up and say how nuts she is. That's not much of a defense!

FBI testing proved that neither George or Lee are Caylee's father.

You keep talking about Casey having to keep her emotion in check and that she can dismiss her daughters death and be HAPPY,BUT why can`t she keep her emotions in check in court now,and all the prelimanry trials before without a Jury watching her??

The body language of George Anthony told a story all in its own from the constant gulps with a thinking face he seemed like he had a gameplane as if he knew what the defense would bring forth. From the start of this case the family was prepared to goto trial, there is just somthing fishy about this whole thing i think Kover will leak the familys secerts we will watch as Kover will be evasive to the defenses questioning. I will just say it, i dont think casey killed her daughter, its something the family is not telling us the heat is boiling someones gonna spill the beans.

After yesterday all I can say about today is...BORING! Way to many ho-hum questions asked by the Prosecution today. Plus waaaay to many side bars! Poor jury, I can only imagine what they are thinking....

*Kover* is *Kronk*

Is it possible to find traces of chlorine in Caylee's body still? Forensics are able to do amazing things these days. If she did in fact drown in a pool, there would be traces of it, assuming the pool did in fact contain chlorine.

If her dad, George Anythony truly subjected her and brother to several years of sexual abuse. How come she did not protect her dad and keep Casey away from him and from her mother. The very mother who allegdly did not protect her children. Also if she came home and saw her dad holding a lifeless Casey, Why didnt she call the police? This defense has too many holes

I believe they put duct tape on her mouth after she drowned this whole story is premeditated and George and his friend for 20 years/ lawyer are masterminds behind this, cant you see there sending we the people on a wild duck chase. A maniuplating person 9 times out of ten learned their ways from family. In life you cant hold anything pass anyone.

OMG! This woman has no scruples. To think that she would use her father as a scape goat.
I do not believe for one minute that George Anthony had anything to do with his grandaughters death. SHAME ON CASEY ANTHONY! Hasn't her family suffered enough?
My theory is she gave her something to knock her out while she went out partying and duct taped her mouth in case she awoke. That poor little girl WAS murdered by her mother whether it be an accident or not.
Be a grown up Case and own up to what we already know you are guilty of.........MURDER!!!

I'm confused about one thing the roommate's ex-girlfriend said – she remembers tying Caylee's shoes before she, Clint, Tony and Casey went to the club Fusion. Did they take Caylee with them? If not, who kept her that time?

This case is open and shut – just like Susan Smith a few years ago, who had the nation looking for her two sons who she had driven into a lake and drowned so she could be free because the man she was sleeping with was not interested in having kids. She blamed it on someone else too – a mysterious black man. The local African American men went through hell by being interrrogated and suspected, just as Casey is puttting her father through hell. All because these two are BOTH selfish killers with no soul. Sure she is crying – just as Susan Smith did on national tv. Academy Awards for both of them!

If Caylee drown and George was holding her, they never did said, who took her from the house and buried her. If Casey was going to throw her father under the bus, she needs to tell everything.

Sonny Hostin described Mr. Baez's opening as "masterful". Puleez – what he did was competent, workmanlike, but what else was he going to do but trot out the "abuse excuse" and other unsubstantiated allegations. "Masterful" would have been to shred George Anthony on cross examination and to therefore lay the initial groundwork for lending credence to the statements made in opening. So far, I have only seen portions aired of George Anthony's direct exam, nothing on cross. Maybe Mr. Baez wasn't so "masterful" in questioning George Anthony after all.

Some of these witnesses are bizarre. For instance, Erica G says she can't quite recall if she was employed other than at Fusions where she worked JUST ONE night a week?!!!

Please. Now she's a full time mom? Just who provides for her; the state of Florida?!!!

Think about it......if she drowned........why would she need to use cloroform and duct tape. She killed the baby out of spite for her mother and because shes a selfless pathetic excuse for a person. I think George Anthony did NOT molest Casey. She needs someone to take the rap and why not dad......who has always tried to protect her.
Jose is joke!!!!!

If Casey placed the duct tape on her daughter face, why isn't there any DNA? Could she have been that deliberate?

Note; prior to the trial why didn't the news media not try to determine the father of Casey's daughter? If she had been anything other than a white middle class girl the press would have been unrelenting as to why he has NEVER been named. InSession would have launched their own investigation as to just who he was.

She's white so, no father no foul...

Caylee's Death was not an accident, If it was she would not have duck tape on her mouth and nose. She would not have been in the trunk of a car for a long time, she would have had a medic come over to try to revive her. The lawyer oly knows what Casey has told him, and she has lied to her lawyer too. She shows sorrow so that the jury will take pitty on her. They talk more of what Casey is like and less of the murder of Caylee. At this rate the jury will say not guilty.

I agree with Alexandria and Suzi, why was George kicked out of the house, what happen from the time Calee was born to 3 weeks later?, also they are spanning quiet a gap of time...maybe she didn't leave Caylee with him 4 a reson, but too young and stupid , that she did drug her cover her mouth and leave her in the trunk to die ( accidentally) as week of a reason that sounds like, it seems more logical than leaving her with a child molester, this trial is interesting so far, brings up more questions than answers, but George DID know that the topic was going to be brought up..that's for sure, and Cindy A. , brining a stuffed bear, SCREAMS...MY DAUGHTER DID IT. to me, loud and clear...K

Casey invited one of the shot girls to Caylee's Bday party. Caylee was already dead! How cold!

I would like the prosecutor to ask Tony Lazarro if he ever expressed to Casey any reservations about developing a long-term relationship with a woman who has a 2 year old child. If so, that along could provide Casey's motive.

The one thing I cannot get out of my head is the fact that Casey tells everyone about her employment at Universial Studios. However, when was she ever at her job? I find it odd that nobody has stated that they had asked Casey when they would run into her at either Tony's apartment or other establishments during the day why wasn't she at work? One witness said she paid the Nanny $400 a month. Personally, a red flag would have been raised because if she was never at work, how could she have afforded paying a nanny this amount of money...Rick

@ BelaBela...as a 911 dispatcher, In some staters and counties we have EMD it is a cardset or CAD that we take calls on, WE ask set questions for diffrent types of senarios, MAYBE...that's what she was refering...answer the questions..K

The defense is saying that Casey is so traumatized that she shows no emotion to the point she does not even react to the death of her child. There has been many times that she has been seen on tape being very emotional, even before little Caylee was found. I would ask the people in her life, especially her boyfriend, if she ever got upset about anything before caylee went missing to show how she is emotional and how unless she wanted Caylee gone she would have been very upset.

on this club in florida"FUSON" some of these girls in there we not even 21.........

Vinnie....
I have never heard of a victim of sexual abuse by a family member--much less two family members--allowing their young child to be taken care of by the accused abusers while the parent is out. Typically, a sexually abused person would never consider allowing abusers to take care of their child. That would totally change the way I look at Ms. Anthony-even if I did think there were some truth to what Jose Baez said in his opening statement.

What's up with Casey's attire. That is a blouse that an old lady would wear back in 1970 or a waitress at IHOP. Are they trying to make her look like an innocent amish girl? The fear on her face is apparent that she knows she is going to get caught when the truth comes out. Her attorney seems to want to make people laugh....this is not a laughing matter.

I find it incredible that the defense attorneys (and the commentators for that matter) are using this as a defense. The story does not fit with the little evidence we know at this time. Like; if she drowned, why was the child found with duct tape across her mouth? To me, this is additional evidence of her guilt.

Casey is the same way I remember that is like the DC police officer who murdered his wife by shooting her in the back of her head, that I was the only witness of this murder.
When he was asked by the homicide why he did this, his answer was, "I had a problem, I got rid of my problem, now I don't have a problem."
Casey acts the same way with that courtroom "gameface" she puts on. She's a liar and it's all there to prove that about her and she never flinches on those facts being proven by each and every witness who she hung around with.
She's cold as ice!

After almost three years of hearing about this issue, after all the specialists have studied her moods, behaviors and etc, no one ever brought up sexual abuse. Now that she accuses her father, she fits the profile. This has never been brought up before. The defense has no defense, they are grasping at straws.

Why did In Session not move camera to show Casey's Mothers face during the Defense opening? Father was front and Center. She was hidden by a spectator in the row in front and it seemed like a purposeful strategy. Would certainly have given a better idea whether or not the abuse was a revelation to the Anthony Family at that time or if it was a planned defense tactic.

I do not think Casey considered her child a burden..after all...her Mom
and Dad....would have gladly assumed responsibility for Caylee if
Casey did not want her.I believe that baby drowned in the pool,just like the defense claimed.Casey has a definate fear of her DAD,and when all this happened...DAD got rid of the body and Casey kept her mouth
shut and moved on.There is no evidence that Casey was a bad mom.
This family has some serious issues..and I believe not only her Dad but
her Mom also threw Casey under the bus....emmmm....out of sight..out of mind....

I can't help but think that the defense is hurting the next Caylee type victim. Its difficult as it is to get people involved. Add to it the possibility of being blamed and even fewer people will be willing to report anything they see out of fear of being blamed. Ray Kronk getting blamed for moving the body is just plain craziness! I seriously hope the defense can and will be charged with deflamation of character. I can understand trying to get your client off. but NOT while hurting innocent people thats crossing the line And should be a criminal offense. IMHO

Once again this whole trial is painting Casey(the child-killer) as the victim. I don't think that any person would endanger their child by having a so-called child molestor take care of them. Casey lived in that house as a young adult. If she were so tramatized by what had happened to her, then why not get out and get a real job and take care of her baby herself. There are plenty of angentices that can and do help single parents. Casey is nothing be a "leach" and when Caylee was keeping her from having "fun", Casey got rid of the problem. I want to say to Casey...."it's not too late to start acting like an adult....but then the attention would be off you so I guess that would be impossible" Attention IN SESSION....I highly resent Sunny Austin calling BOZO brilliant in his opening statements. I resent the fact that Ms. Austin considers the defense right! Ms. Austin and other idiot people are forgetting that Casey Anthony ISN"T the victim........CAYLEE IS!!!! Please In Session, get rid of Ms Austin......she is the defense's best friend and In Session is suppose to be un-biased!

If George raped her and had sex with her since 8 yrs old why did Casey leave her little girl Caylee with that man if he's such a monster?

How does a girl who is not working and was a high school drop-out have the money to pay a nanny?

If Caylee died in the swimming pool, then why would George place duck tape around her head and over her mouth and nose?

I can't believe anyone is taking seriously Jose Baez' explanation of the accidental drowning of Caylee in the family's swimming pool. I found his opening statement awkward, sometimes embarrassing as he stumbled over himself trying to explain this absurd story he concocted, and poorly delivered. There are so many gaping holes in his story that I'm shocked the "talking heads" of in session seem to have swallowed this ridiculous explanation whole, including the usually level-headed Mike Brooks. I guess it will be left to Nancy Grace to speak truth to the facts, because I know there's no way she's gonna buy this load of crap that Baez unleashed in court. If I was on that jury I would have been hard pressed not to laugh during his condescending and arrogant opening statement. In fact I think I did see one of the prosecuting attorney's trying not to smile listening to this fairy tale.

Unbelievable, she killed her daughter now she is killing her parents. I don't believe a word of her so called defense, drowned why tape her mouth. I think she wanted to go out clubbing had no sitter put the baby in the trunk after drugging her, taped her mouth in case she woke up and forgot about her until it was to late.

i disagreed when sunny said that george anthony was an adjustment to the chronological order of the case. he was the last to see casey and caylee when they left his house which would make perfect sense for him to be called first.

i think that she did it .for her to blame her father is so crazy
this girl is crazy and needs to spend the rest of her like in prison and die....

earlier and in session team member said that people tend to look UP when there is deception. George anthony looked down. I found it interesting that during the opening statement, when jose said kaylee drowned, Casey anthony looked up.

This girl wanted to party,all day all night if you know what I mean,but she had that little girl that was stopping her to carry out in the party girl world,had nothing to fall back to,and decided to kill her own child to further her party girl life.

One more thing that I notice all these pretty young women who knew Casey and worked at the club with her are all scatter around the country at that young age that is something that caught my attention,why were they all in Florida at that time frame.Anyone?

Jose is not bringing to the Juriors mind that Caseys father never tried to contact her over the baby missing only the mother called her. The father professes undieing love so much so that he could describe everything she had on the day she disappeared. Follow up Jose

Pat Foster:

You litterally took the words right out of my mouth. This is a brilliant defense and most certainly at this point, somewhat explains some of the gaping holes. As does this dysfunctional house as well.

Not one person that the prosecution has brought thus forward has indicated anything was wrong with her. I have serious doubts that a person who has this kind of very likable personality by everyone could do this and then completely hide it. Act as if there is not a "care in the world". There is just no way.

It also explains her reaction on the first phone call from jail to parents where she does indeed look and appear rather confused as to what has happened???

I have been watching the coverage of the Casey Anthony trial, and though George Anthony denies it, your reporters keep referring to Casey as a "sexual abuse victim." There is no proof of this, and as much as Ms. Anthony and Mr. Biaz have lied, I wouldn't believe it unless it was verified by at one other source.

To accuse Casey Anthony's father the way the defense did is reprehensible and cowardly. If Caylee drowned in the pool and Casey panicked, then say so. Don't accuse George of covering that up, especially without proof. And your show shouldn't be perpetuating that information until it can be proved.

The drowning story is SUCH a big lie. If she truly drowned, then why not try to give CPR and call 911, instead of wrapping duct tape around her mouth and nose and dumping her. And the pizza smell story in the car trunk is a lie. There is a huge difference between the smell of rotting food and the smell of decomposition, and the investigators that looked at the car would know it.

And I think she is lying about the molestation story, trying to use it as an excuse. Diane Downs did the same thing when she was on trial for shooting her 3 kids and killing her daughter.

The defense is claiming that Caley drowned in the Anthony family pool. If that is so, why did Mr. Baez make such a fuss about the prosecution's scientific witness regarding the smell of human composition?

I feel that George looked down because he was hurt that his daughter would imply that he did those terrible things to her. She will go to any length to save her own skin no matter who she hurts. It is all about her.
Who would not call 911 if their child had drowned? I think she is guilty of Caylee's demise, and deserves whatever comes her way death or life.

Casey Anthony wouldn't know the truth if it hit her in the face! Little Caylee got in Casey's way of her partying etc. and she decided to devistate her parents and get rid of her. Nothing less than guilty!!!!

I've got to say I've thought all along that Baez was not versed enough to defend Casey Anthony but boy you've got to give him credit......the story about the drowning and the description of the abuse........Brilliant........but I believe that's all it is a story. It was more like watching a murder mystery movie. I was on the edge of my seat and just could not believe what I was Hearing..!! Again Brilliant.

I don't understand why it matters if she was sexually abused. If she is a survivor, her behavior would also be consistent with a person who killed her child and blocked it out. None of this proves it was an accident or that George had anything to do with hiding the body. Sexual abuse can cause sociopathic behaviors, including patholigically lying, throwing her parent's under the bus, stealing and the like. Don't forget thopugh that some people are just born sociopathic. The defense if ridiculous and Casey Anthony is a sorry excuse of a woman.

Zani the Nanny! That's ZANEX you idiots! The child died because the mother was using it to put the child to sleep in the trunk of her car!! The rest is history!

Casey Anthony has had 3 years to get her "story" all ready to tell. The really pathetic part is that she is trying to cold-heartedly destroy the father who has stood by her all this time. She has no conscience. She has no morals. IF the child drowned by accident, why wait all these years to tell the authorities? If she was innocent, why wait to tell the truth? She did everything she could to mislead, falsify, lie and hide the truth from coming out. An accident? I don't for one minute think so. Baez has fallen prey to this petite woman's wiles and I suspect they have more than an attorney-client relationship. She would not, could not, tell the truth no matter what the consequences. She has been pampered, cared for, protected and allowed to do as she darn well pleased for her whole life and now that her true colors are coming to light, she wants to play the victim. It is BS. She is the predator – not the victim. She is the user - not the used. She never told her family who the father of her child was. We know it was not her father or brother because they voluntarily submitted to DNA testing. If they had been molesting her, would they have done that? I doubt it. This woman (not a girl any longer - she's an adult) must now face the consequences of her poor life choices and forever live with the knowledge that she murdered her only child. Of course, that assumes she ever loved the child or has a conscience. We know she didn't and doesn't. Someone please have some sense and find her guilty. She needs to suffer for the suffering she has caused.

if casey is so tramatized she blocks things out and appears to have no feelings and doesn't react to things, why did she cry when the charges were read. about the molesting, maybe she was and maybe she wasn't moslested but that doesn't mean it was her father and brother that did it. it's not always a family member.

i was molested and i have lost a child and yes, you do block out certain trauma, but there is nothing natural about a mother losing a child. her actions weren't normal under any mental condition, unless she is just plain crazy and i don't think that's the case.

casey is a party girl, i know one when i see one, my own daughter got involved in sex for money when she was young, and yes, it causes bad behavior, but her father didn't touch her. her sex actions were of her own doing. bad choice but just the same, her choice and her choice of lifestyle. she has four kids and is not a good mother. her needs come first.

like i said, i was molested and never acted like casey, didn't party, run around and sleep with guys. and i lost a child and i again didn't act like that. yes, i blocked some things out but didn't act like her, and if she is so good at blocking out trauma, why is she crying now??? why? because she is worried about herself.

The defense can't have it both ways. Casey can't be so affected by abuse she shuts down and plays like things didn't happen, but she cries in court every day. If Casey was abused, she wouldn't allow her father unsupervised time with Caylee. The pattern of abuse and denial doesn't add up to ignoring that your baby is dead. No one is that good of an actress for 31 days. She had no trouble telling her parents in jail house video that they didn't understand how hard this was on her, that she had no control and didn't know what was going on. The abused/denial child I believe would be more reserved than she was in the videos. And it seems when the months added on in jail she would have spilled the drowning story.

If George and Casey saw Caylee dead, why did Casey move out? Wouldn't she stay in the home to make sure their stories stayed the same?

Boyfriend Anthony Lazzaro testified that Casey told him the babysitter was "Zanny" Zanny is a street name for the drug Xanax!! I think she was drugging Caylee so she could go out and party.

Casey's father, a former police officer, could have tried to throw the investigation. Finding a body wrapped with duct tape would lead investigators in the direction of a homicide hopefully taking suspicion away from him or any of his family members.

casey anthony abused? thats a laugh. casey anthony afraid of her dad? no, i think it was george and cindy were afraid of her. she was probably given everything and anything she wanted. spoiled BRAT.
if i were george and cindy and casey gets away with murder i would pack my bags and get out of dodge with no forwarding address. oh, she might behave for a while IF she gets out. but a leopard does not change its spots and she will be back to lying, stealing and manipulating her parents. run george and cindy . i know you love your daughter, but run as far away as you can. if your not there maybe jose baez and her could hook up and live happily ever after! god bless you george anthony, you are a saint.

I absolutely believe that they have to prove that she is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.... Even though the defense team is brilliant, I agree with Diana, if that baby died from accidental drowning, how do they explain the duct tape around her head? That is a HUGE area that needs to be addressed. I have no doubt that Casey loved Caley and it very well may be some bad accident that happened, but the duct tape does not leave the table and is/will be in everyone's mind.

This defense smells 'like there was a dead body in the damn' courtroom.
I am outraged by this ridiculous fabrication. Look how pathetic they have dressed her today. Big bag lady sweater. This is as absurd as Phil Spector's suicide defense. I hope that these jurors are as insulted as the rest of us. It would be one thing if she confessed to an accidental drowning and her subsequent shock and panic. That's believable. But to stretch it so far out of the realm of possibility, to blame her father for the cover-up (why would he?) and Ray Kronk for the disposal (yeah, right) in the hopes she will walk away scott free? OMG.

.

Why is there so much analysis and commenting and not showing the trial. It is really begining to become annoying. We can see the trial. for ourselves. Too many opinions.

People simply do not understand the thinging and behaviour of thoses who have been severly sexually abused. They do not thing and make decisions of what many call, normal and proper. Society and the courts need to be educated in this field. Casy is one who have been severly sexually abused. Those who have been severly can tell that pretty much right away, THEY SEE THE SIGNS ALMOST RIGHT AWAY.

C.Anthony, "Zanny" is club name for "Zanax"

I personally cannot wait to see Casey Anthony fry!!!! How horrible of a person does it take to do the things that she has done. I am a mother and cannot manage to even look @ the pics of sweet little Caylee. How can she sit in that court room and not completely break down??!! Oh yes- we've seen the pitiful attempts to appear to be crying, the dabbling at her eyes- but what kind of person, let alone a mother, can be this way. I have followed this case from the first reportings, and am blown away by the fact that Casey is now willing to throw her father to the wolves this way. I don't believe for a second the drowning story and very seriously doubt the molesting story either, but regardless of that- I just have no words for the anger and sadness i feel about this whole situation. It really worries me that if she is found guilty, she will not receive the proper punishment, which is death. To feel what that little angel felt as her mother took the life from her. The only consolation I have is that hopefully she is getting a portion of what she deserves while in prison.

When George Anthony is on the stand, he is asked if he has ever sexually molested his daughter, Casey Anthony, or if he has proformed any sexual act with or in the presence of Casey... Cameras turn to Casey and she is shaking her head no. (Her way of calling him a liar I take it.) Then they ask George were you present in the home when Caylee died, did he dispose of the body, did he obtain duct tape and place it over the nose and mouth of his grand daughter etc...notice Casey again start shaking her head...is this her way of calling him a liar because she was there and knows he put the tape over Caylee's mouth? That would make me think Caylee didnt drown. It could also be a cover up. Of course I could go on and on.
But I'm certainly very curious to see what Casey is going say happened to Caylee after her father "pulled her out of the pool" and she held her for the last time!

Maybe Casey Anthony should be playing the part of a grieving mother as opposed to playing the part of a victim??? Nothing in her demeanor suggests that she is grieving the loss of her child. The camera catches her laughing at jokes (for instance, when the Judge asked what type of break the prosecution needed). I think most people who lost a child due to an accident, and being "wrongfully" accused of it would not find the time to laugh at potty jokes... but that is just me... .

All people who are promiscuous have not necessarily been sexually abused. Seriously! Problems in the family? To be sure, but more problems with Casey herself.

Let's assume that Caylee Anthony accidentally drowned (I don't believe this story for a second, but let's say it were true). If that were the case, then what does being sexually abused have to do with (a) not reporting an accidental death, and (b) improperly disposing of a body?

I am a lawyer in New Orleans. I watched In session all day yesterday and today. Baez's opening statement was a masterpiece. He is doing a grade A-1 job. If she gets off, it will be because of him and not because she's innocent.

Zanny the nanny, Sad but maybe real. Zanny is the street name for xanax. Give the child a zanny and the kids out, instant nanny and she would be free for the evening. Maybe the chikd had to much nanny. Thats a story worth hiding.

This such a sad case. I am truly amazed by Jose Baez' grasping at
straws . No evidence introduced when George was on the stand to
refute his denial of abuse. And soooo many holes in the opening
statement. Jean and Beth do a fantastic job. Vinnie thinks Jose ranks with Jonnie Cochran???? Thank God for Dan Abrams and his coverage.
Regarding Casey keeping Caylee fed and clothed, and given shelter,
as Baez says: HOW? Casey was unemployed and living with her parents. George and Cindy provided the things Caylee needed. The
only crime they are guilty of is spoiling their daughter, and believing all
her lies. I am disgusted at Sunny and her believing she knows how all
abused kids are. Did they murder a child????

The duct tape was put on by George to make it look as if she was kidnapped and killed. He probably hid the body in the playhouse . and then put it into the woods. Jose NEVER said that she was forced to perform oral sex on Casey EVERYmorning. Her letters in jail and the beginings of attempts to come out of denial and face what happened. The videos of her parents talking to her in jail make even more sense now that we know what George has been hiding and what they all have been denying as to what happened all those years in this sick home. Why do you think Cindy and Casey don't get along. She HATES her mom and I believe that George stopped the abuse and overcompensated as he even admitted to his daughter in the jail tapes. She denied access of Caylee to Cindy after she was dead to get back at her mom for not protecting her. Not ALL sociopathic personalities kill animals and set fires, especially girls. Please listen to the testimony and pay attention and learn something about sexual abuse!!!

I am still unsure of how much truth there is to the idea that Caylee drowned and then Casey and her father covered it up, but the thing that struck me in the defences opening statement was the fact that the Caylees remains were discovered only 20 feet from the road (close enough for the bag to be pointed out to police from the road side) and yet even after several searches of the area her remains were never found till 6 months later – while Casey was in jail.

I am not sure if it is murder or an accident covered up, but i feel certain that someone else was involved (whether it is the meter reader they spoke of or someone else) and placed her body there months later......I can't imagine that her body would be so suddenly and so easily discovered by a man "peeing in the woods", yet so many people out there specifically searching for her for so many months never saw the bag laying on the ground. It's all very strange. However, the defence never mention how the meter reader came to have control of Caylees body in the first place. That needs to be explained further.

Whatever the outcome, the fact that a litte girl lost her life is so tragic.

I completely DISAGREE with the ALLEGATION, again I say ALLEGATION that George Anthony sexually abused his daughter. Let’s think about this….how many LIES has Casey said, how FAR has she gone to LIE….it’s to the point of obscene! But yet, YET “people” are wanting to now believe THIS! NOW, she is being truthful! SERIOUSLY! You’ve got to be kidding me!! I don’t believe for one second her father ever abused her, and this is just another LIE to cover the other lies. What is the definition of a pathological liar?? Why don’t we discuss that In Session???

I think that if Jose had his client's best interest at heart and this really was accidental it could have been handled without going to trial – I think he is an opportunist who took public funds & is relishing in all the publicity for his personal gain.
The story about Roy Kronk is a crock – if he was after the reward why would he leave the body there for someone else to stumble upon for all that time & how does he explain the root growth in and around the remains? Did he take the dirt & body with him where ever he went? It makes absolutly no sense.

I just heard a commentator on V. Politan's show say that defense lawyers are supposed to be honest and have proof for their defense. Ha ha ha ha ha --–There's no justice for Caylee. Only dishonest lawyers who care more about winning their case. I have only one statement: I never knew that chloroform had a name – zanny.

I don't think George was lying. If anyone noticed, it looked like he was carrying a picture (probably Caylee), and he prop it up in front of him. I think he looked down during the questioning because he was looking at Caylee.

As a survivor of sexual abuse, I can relate to much of what is being said. People who have experienced this don't react like other people and those around you are seldom aware of what you have endured. That being said, had one of my children died, there's is no way I could have continued on going to sexy body contests and the like. I could tolerate abuse to myself, but NOT to my child. It seems likely Ms. Anthony has experienced a high level of dysfunction in her family; but that does not explain how she could virtually ignore the death of her baby.

Casey IS GUILTY AND SICK. I believe that if it is true that this was an accident then why hide anything.

If George Anthony sexually molested Casey in her childhood, why on earth would Casey live in her father's home with Caylee? Wasn't she afraid Caylee might suffer the same horrible abuse? If that situation were mine, I would get my small daughter as far away from him as possible!!

Ok...so lets say Casey is telling the truth..I have three questions..

1)....If the baby drowned in the pool, and Casey freaked out, and ignore the fact that her daughter was dead...and hid the truth...What is the father's excuse, why he would want to hide the death?? it was a freak accident!!!...

2).the prosecution keeps asking people about her state of mind at the time, and everyone said she was normal acting as if nothing happened...doesn't that hurt the prosecution and help the defense? because that is excactly what the defense is trying to prove, that she was acting like a person that has lived a lie all her life, that she was able to do that?

3) shouldn't the prosecution put George Anthony in the stand, along with witnesses,especialy his wife, asking her about his state of mind at the time the grandfather supposively found Caylee dead? Doesn't anyone want to know his demeanor? If he looked worried, depressed, withdrawn?

At first I thought the defense made up this story and the father was in on it, to make himself look bad, just so that he can safe his daughter from a death sentence, since he already lost his grandaughter. We all know that if he is in on it, and lies to safe his daughter, once she is found not guilty, he could always write a book, and safe his ass and clear his name. We all know you can't be charge for murder twice! I also notice the mother keeps hiding behind a lady in the court room. This family tried everything to get the truth from this girl, to find their grandughter. I don't think Casey killed her duaghter on purpose, I think it was an accident! Crazy or not!!! I don't care if you have been sexualy abuse or not! I do not understand, if Casey was abused by her father, she should have enough sense not to trust her father alone with her daughter. He should take a lie detector, regardless if the court would ammit it in court or not, but at least let the public know he is telling the truth!

Can this be a fair trial? My home is in Central Florida, not more than three miles from where Casey Anthony lived and where the trial is taking place. If I were to have served on the jury (which I am not) and voted to find Casey not guilty, I would fear for my wellbeing. There is a lynch mob mentality going on here and in much of the country where I have traveled. Other jurors must feel the same pressure. This girl is presumed guilty even before any evidence was officially presented. This is NOT justice. I doubt if she will get a fair trial regardless of how hard Judge Perry tries.

If Casey was sexually abused by her father, or Lee, why didn't she get out of the house ASAP.... Wouldn't you get a job, provide for yourself and get as far away from your abuser as possible....then file charges.....you don't stay in their house and let them provide for you and don't do anything about it .......
and why let your daughter be subjected to your abuser too????

The neighbor..he said he loan her the shovel and she returned it an hour lady..Did anyone check, if there was ever a hole dug up in her property for a bamboo root. If there was? How long does it take to dig a hole for a bamboo root. If there was a hole? How big was it?

Or ...did anyone check, how long does it take to drive to the spot where Cayle was found, dig a hole bury her? and come back and return the shovel. Was that area flooded with water at the time of the accident? If it was then you couln't dig to burried her! How wher the bones found, My brother went missing for two years and his bones where found as if he was laying in the wood not touched. I heard the bones where scattered, if the are was flooded, wouldn't her body float to surface, even in a bag? I'm sorry I am asking alot of questions, but if anyone knows I love to hear the details

If the child drowned in the pool, why didnt they call the police or the authorities. If she drowned why did they hide the body for 31 days. What were they afraid of. Maybe the father sexually abused the child and killed her. After he killed her he buried her so they couldnt find DNA on the childs decomposed body. I think they are all liars.

Now her laywer is following in her footsteps. What are they lovers now or is he doing anything he can to defend her even to the point of making up all this nonsence?
What bothers me is how anyone can believe this recent new lie. I really hope this jury is not fooled by all of this. I am afraid they may be, after the judge repeated over and over she is innocent until proven quilty with no reasonable doubt, some of them may interpret that at doubt, and forget reasonable. There is no reasonable doubt at all.
If that poor beautiful, talented, little girl's murderer goes free it will be a definite message that anyone can get away with murder, even that of a little girl. She is a sociopath, why would she keep anything a secret that would be in her best interest?

If the baby drowned...and the father found her...wasn't there any screaming!!!! the neighbor would have heard the comotion...how about CPR...did she mention CPR!!! sexualy abuse or not !!! the father was an officer..he knows better than anyone that it ws an accident, why not call 911....He knows better than that!!!

the jury should see that regardless if she killed the baby or the baby accidently died...the way she send the cops on a goose chase, the partying knowing her daughter was the dead the whole time.....

Make NO MISTAKE!!! if I was a juror, the one thing that will never leave my head is....>>that Casey is not just a liar, but the abondance of lies she told....why should I believe that the accusations she is making, and her defense should be true....When the defense lawyer said on his opening statement putting the blame on the dad....and telling the details of the penis in her mouth, she broke down and cried..I would expect for her to be motionless, the way she was when in fact she learned her daughter was found.....!! I think she is putting up an act. I heard her on phone conversations, and she sounded like a pretty smart girl...she is not that dumb.... I think she wrote those letters on purspose so that they would leak out..I think she is playing the system...This girl knows exact;y what she is doing...Her lawyer is trying to make a name for himself and get on TV...

If Caylee drowned in the pool, wouldn't george or casey try CPR and call 911 first. George must have been trained in cpr. I just don't see them finding her in the pool and deciding to cover it up. What would be the purpose. Call 911 and report an accident. I just don't buy it.

If Casey's father molested her from the time she was 8 years old, why would she let her parents babysit her daughter or even live with her parents and subject her child to the potential sexual abuse??? I think Casey is a habitual liar and her judgement day will come....

I saw how she broke down and cried when they read the charges against her to the jury, but she can hold back her emotions when her child is dead... Give me a break.... I dont buy that defense for a minute.
Maybe she suffer from selective emotional stress disorder.

Its all about Casey again. She seems to have to be in the spotlight good or bad.

i will agree that they put some doubt in my mind but i can not shake the feeling that the desire of a mother to protect her child is the strongest in the world and a loveing mother would never have her daughter around a father that did such terrible things to her she would want to get her as far away from him as possible let alone go out and party

Lord help this family. The devil is surely @ work. This case has nothing to do with Casey & her abuse, Its about getting justice if such a thing for little Caylee. Their has been nothing but lies, betrayal, disfunction, & greed rolling off the tongue of Ms. Casey. Lord you hold all power & you know the whole truth. You be the judge Lord & render a verdict along with appropriate punishment, & restore the grandparents of this child. Give them back what Casey has taken away, their peace of mind & sanity.

The defense claims that her not showing ANY emotions after Caylee went missing as her "normal", she sure does let all the emotions out in court now. How would they explain that?

Casey Anthony is the only person responsible for Caylee Anthony's death. I believe George Anthony handled his testimony very well and composed; as well as one who had been just accused of false rumours such as molesting his daughter. For one, if this was true, why would Casey Anthony let someone like him around her daughter on a daily basis? Number two, if this was an accidental death, why was Caylee dumped in a raveen with duct-tape on her scull? It's obvious that she had little adoration and respect for her daughter, otherwise she would have given her a proper burial, had she accidentally drowned in the pool. Also think about Casey's Google searches about chloroform? She's an awful human being for taking her daughters life, and a betraying daughter to try to throw her remaining family under the bus!

She's lying. She killed her daughter to live life without the burden of a child. Victims of childhood sexual abuse do NOT leave their own children with their abuser. They do whatever they can to get their children away from the abuser.
FYI to Tony Lazarro: Stop finding your dates on Facebook, Craigslist, etc.
This one sure turned out to be a nightmare.

having watched this whole thing unfold since the day it began, I am inclined to say that Hose Biaz is a complete idiot, and has established absolutely no credibility since this thing began 3 years ago. I don't' know how either he or Casey can put the blame on George Anthony , that to me is the lowest thing they could have done, Biaz is grasping at straws, and he keeps coming up with the short straw.
I personally have suffered the loss of 2 of my children and believe me, no mother would ever do what she did regardless of her past, the loss of a child is the most devastating thing that can happen to a mother , and only one who is so narcissistic as Casey Anthony would react that way . it is all about her that is obvious, and the ""pout "" on her mouth since this trial began is not doing her any favors, and I for one would like to see it gone, she is guilty as they come=== and I hope the jury will also see right through her as I have

thank y ou

In her initial 911 call in July 2008, Cindy reported the last time she saw Caylee was on June 9th. Overhearing her mother, Casey also told police she last saw Caylee on June 9th. Of course, Cindy relaized she made a mistake and told police she last saw Caylee on June 15 (Father's Day). How can Casey now reconcile her repeated insistence to police and her parents she last saw Caylee on June 9th?

Vinney,
I did believe GA, however CA seemed credible the way she shook her head like i cannot believe he is denying this...she also seemed to tear up. Maybe she was simply appauled and shocked that he would not go along with the accusation even if it was a lie to save her.
Also, I cannot figure out the defense' motive for including GA in the mix with the drowning incident. I agree with Nancy Grace it seems much more credible to accuse him only of the sexual abuse.
P S i love you!!!
Evie

No George and Lee are not the father. DNA was done to rule that out. Casey and Baez put this story together just to try and save Casey. Casey has only cried for herself and George and Cindy have from the start been behind Casey. What about justice for Caylee? Let Casey rot in prison for the death of her daughter. She has a mind of her own and she chose to act like her daughter was with the nanny. Her motive for killing or letting her daughter drown is to take what her mother loved the most because Casey was very jealous of all the attention that Caylee was getting which she was no longer getting. She was the princess of the family and when Caylee was born then Casey was dethrowned and put on the back burner. That really pissed her off. Caylees was also a nusienc to Casey because she got in the way of her going on the trip with her friends and Caylee also got in the way of her partying life style. Casey you are the monster

The Elephant in this room – What a crock about poor Caylee 'drowning' and it being an accident. If that were the case, why in the world would such a self-centered person like Casey let it go to the level of being accused of first degree murder, and possibly be on trial with the death penalty on the table. Any good attorney or even Casey herself, if that were true, would have come forward and admit to the accident. Who would ever let it get to this level. This entire story was deveolped by a very unethical defense. This is just an insult to this jury to expect anyone to buy into this.

Unfortunately I am unable to watch so thanks for the little details [my particular favorite by Teresa, I think, that George had Caylee's photo there to look at as he testified].
I am glad the defense has done this. I didn't believe it on it's face when I read it and after thinking for a moment it simply made no sense; main thing after the duct tape [and heart sticker!] is.....!!!...he would have disposed of the body himself !!!, not left it with Caysee to rot in the trunk of her car 'til the stench forced her to dump it [and she didn't go far, which also makes sense].
I believed a long time ago that Cindy would do anything for her daughter and that includes using George and if not for Cindy, George would have acted differently, that he has done what he has because of his wife Cindy.
Cindy and George both know without any doubt that Caysee murdered Caylee, Cindy will do anything for Caysee and George will do anything for Cindy. [Even kill himself?]
So I was saying I'm glad about the defense blaming the three men because it's ridiculous. Reasonable doubt out the window.
I've got to say it again – George was not involved because he would have disposed of the body himself. [If I recall correctly, he is a retired polce officer/detective.]

I think Jose Baez is going to have to prove this defense because of the fact that Casey has told so many lies. That is the only way this defense could work. I do not believe for one second that Caylee died the way the defense has portrayed it. Casey has shown that she is impulsive, selfish and self-serving. If it were true that Caylee died in the pool by accident while in the care of her father, she would have been singing like a canary as soon as she was arrested. Also, they claim she is submissive to her father because of abuse, yet her behavior does not back this claim up. She yells at her father and behaves very aggressively towards her family. This is NOT submissive behavior at all.

The comment of "Guilty Until Prove Innocent" does not exist in our constitution. It never has. If this actual a constitutional right then all people not convicted would not have tobe put in jail until they are proven guilty. I think this trial has gotten out of hand. What seemed murder might be accidental drowing.

I would like to add that I was abused by a family member as a child. People in the family knew of the situation. Everyone pretended like it was not happening and no action was ever taken to stop it. It did not make me a pathological liar. It did not stop me from having and showing feelings. And most importantly...I would not let my children ANYWHERE NEAR that person! I would put my own life on the line before I would allow the same thing to happen to my child. It is one thing to hide your own feelings about abuse and quite another to allow a supposed abuser complete access to your child. I do not believe for one second that she was abused by her father. She is a total maniac.

The defense holds no water. There is early jail tape of Casey telling her parents about some public speculation that Caylee drowned. Casey is very sarcastic about the idea as though it's just another ridiculous attempt to 'solve the case' by people who don't know anything.
Additionally, Casey didn't mention anything about her father and brother molesting her until well into her time in jail. And, even then, she was very, very vague that it 'might' have happened. Then, there's the issue that she left her baby with her dad repeatedly. If she was so afraid of her father and brother, why on earth would she leave her baby alone with them?? Ridiculous. Casey has lied and lied and lied. The drowning and molestation are just more of her ridiculous lies told in a pathetic attempt to save her own skin. This woman murdered her own daughter. It's not a stretch to believe that she's more than willing to throw her father and brother under the bus.
As to Casey being a 'wonderful mother' as her 'friends' testified to on the stand, Casey lied repeatedly to these same friends about her job, about her income, about the whereabouts of Caylee. A 'wonderful mother' does not party on when either she has murdered her daughter or her daughter has drowned. None of the friends testified to the fact that Casey ever demonstrated any grief, depression, fear, etc. Nothing. She just carried on with the party....

Wow, I'm a big fan of Sunny, but she is dead wrong. How is it that the defense can claim that Casey Anthony's father abused her and all of a sudden, we believe her!!!! Casey will do any and everything possible to avoid being convicted including throwing her entire family under the bus. Just because she SAYS it happens, doesn't make it so Sunny!! We have seen the way she treated and talked to her parents while she was in jail. I have seen a desperate grandfather doing any and everything to not only find his granddaughter when she was missing to doing what he could to be a good father while Casey was in jail. Before we assume Casey is telling the truth, let's wait to see the PROOF!! The case is about a little girl that was killed not about poor Casey. Win lose or lose, a grandfathers reputation is going to be destroyed because a spoiled, selfish brat decided to do any and everything she could to beat a murder rap.

If I was accused of molestation by my child and I KNOW I did not ever touched her inappropriately I would have a polygraph taken and then have my Lawyer give it to the MEDIA ASAP......Shut Casey's BOMBSHELL LIE down George and do it right away. All these lies should be a crime and Baez should be disbarded....SHAME ON HIM.

There are two huge holes in the defense argument on Casey's behalf. First, one would have to believe that a doting grandfather, a former police detective trained in CPR and a caring young mother did nothing when the child accidently drowned in the family swimming pool. They did not frantically try to revive her, or run screaming into the street for help, or call 911. Instead, they conspired to hide the death thinking no one would notice the baby's absence.

Secondly, the defense does not appear prepared to offer any independent corroberation of alleged sexual abuse. There is no discovery of medical records, school records, interviews with family members or friends that Casey exhibited any sign of being abused. And, what's more, Cindy Anthony is a nurse. Wouldn't she notice such a thing?

People who were not abused as children should not talk about what they would or would not do if they had had this fate. Those of us who share this fate know that the twisted results are life-long and intrude in every relationship and every way we operate in life. I don't lie as a rule since I know what the consequences are, but believe me I can, and you'd never know. I share this skill with many other abused people I have met in therapy groups. You haven't any idea what it does to people. I believe Casey and understand her warped attempt to avoid the truth. I believe it was an accident and that she went into survival mode much as she had during the rest of her life. You who are free of this experience have no idea what's possible.

I've been watching this from the beginning. I was wondering if anyone knows if Casey Anothy was on Anxiety medication? I only say this because I take anxiety medication ( Xanax ). I take them at night to sleep. Just throwing this out there. Sometimes I will tell my husband " I just took my "Zannies".....( therefore getting sleepy) anyways, I was wondering could it be possible that maybe she gave her daughter some to make her sleep every now and then and this time it made her Overdose and it killed her? I knew a girl when I was younger, we'd go out and we all had kids, but had REAL Babysitters, we questioned her one night, can't remember why, but anyways we found out she was leaving the baby by herself while she'd go out and party and tell us her Mother was staying with her. Maybe Casey parents knew this because of their work schedules and allowed Casey to leave Calee in between their working hours knowing someone would be home within hours. You know one is coming and going. Maybe this is where Casey came up with "Zannie the Nanny". In her lawyers opening statement he said at one point Cindy told George " Calee is with Zannie "..... and the same goes for Casey telling her friends Calee's with "Zannie" when they ask where she is or has been. Just my thought....thanks

I had a family living in my rent house and all were in law enforcement. They were about the strangest people i`ve ever known. Everything was a secret and never came out of the house unless they were going to work. They also wre the biggest liars i have ever known. i would act like i believed them when they did talk but didn`t in the real world.George is nothing but a pathalogical liar. All we can hope for is for Casey to take the stand.

She is a serial liar who has lied to and about everybody and everything. Why would we now believe what she says about her father? What's one more lie? Surely Baez can't believe himself the scurrilous fabrications he's coming up with to try and get this piece of lying trash off the hook. He already pointed out in his opening statement that some things "we'll never know" and "it can't be proved now", why, because he too is lying to begin with. And trying to make the jury think the prosecution is desperate.... I think it is he that is desperate. The Anthony family may or may not be dysfunctional; a lot of families are dysfunctional to some degree but that is not an excuse for murdering your child.

She and her lawyers that the state of Florida is paying for should all go to jail for perjury. She murdered her own child because she was jealous of her. a good mother she was out doing drugs drinking having a good old time jury deliberations will be Quick GUILTY as charged give her the injection

If this was an accidental pool death, why would George engage in this elaborate cover up? As Jose Baez stated, they were not suggesting that he was resposible for the death in any way. It makes no sense at all that he would be involved in anything like what is being suggested.
There has never been any indication that George was not completely devoted to Caylee. If anything he would have called 911 and done anything to try to save her,
The suggestion that Caseys' behavior following this supposed accident can all be explained away by her traumatic history of sexual abuse is even more difficult to comptrehend. It's amazing how she can turn on the crocodile tears in court, but nobody saw her crying after Caylee drowned.
Someone needs to talk about the pathology of Narcissists and Patho;ogical Liars.

Great opening for Baez, but the facts should play out for the correct result. That's what we all thought in OJ's circus. The duct tape is very incriminating, and the searches on computer, just as in Scott Peterson's case. The Kronk testimony is troubling, but I think it will be countered. She may be in collusion with her family saying that George molested her, and if she is then acquitted or gets off light, they can all recant that and say it was just a tactic to save her. Double jeopardy. Even if he did molest her, that could not poss be an excuse for Murder 1. I will be tuned when the battle of the forensics start. If she drowned, there would be water in her lungs!!

Casey is just another female with anti social personality disorder. Truly without remorse or conscience. Very disturbing, all of her videos show this. Real tears, but they are for Casey only. This time she is in a real fix and she knows it. Baez doing a great job so far but uphill all the way, as we will see.

I think Biaez is and his defense team is a joke. Look, he hasn't been practicing law very long and he is handling the Nation's most watched trial of 2011? Look at all of the mistakes he has made, even from the beginning. I believe that he is all about writing a book when this is all over. I also think that deep down he really believes his client is guilty and that he is trying to "throw her under the bus" without her knowing it.

I believe that the defense strategy of portraying Casey as an incest victim is a desperate attempt to save her sorry life. If true, why was the story not presented at the Grand Jury hearing so that she would not be indicted? I agree with the post that said that no one would sit in jail for three years when there was a true and viable explanation of little Caylee's death.

Casey presents as a sociopath who feels that rules and laws do not apply to her. Our prisons are full of individuals like Casey. Contrary to Sunny Hoston's comments today, sociopaths do not have to kill animals to be so defined. Casey sees herself as entitled and believes the universe revolves around her.This is a young woman who stole from her best friend and her grandmother. Casey had no problem lying to her parents, the sole source of support and providers of an enviable life style for her and Caylee. In fact it appears that almost all of Casey's relationships were based on blatant lies and manipulation.

I remember another young mother, Susan Smith of South Carolina, who several years ago, appparently felt that her children were a deterrent to her desired life style and drove the little boys, buckled in their car seats, into the river to their deaths. She lied and lied and cried crocodile tears on television while blaming a black man for carjacking and kidnapping before she was exposed as a liar and a murderer. Now Susan Smith had a documented history as a sexual abuse victim, unlike Casey's dubious version. Susan is serving a long prison sentence but escaped the death penalty. I wonder if Casey and her legal team in desperation saw elements in this case as a model to follow.

the only abusive person in the home was Casey. Her parents probabley let her get away with things like stealing from them and her foul mouth because of Caylee. They loved her and probabley knew they would be worried sick if that incompenant mother had taken her away. The parents to me let casey run the home and George & Cindy were the help.. Why didn't Casey get a job to get her own place.? She went to so much trouble to steal it looks like if she put some effort to get a job she could move out if she wanted. She wanted a free ride and I mean that in every way.. I think she thought Tony was her ticket out.. Ditch the kid and she's gone. People wonder why did she not just leave the kid with her parents and leave. Because Cindy would have told her what a rotten parent she is.. for the rest of her life.

To be evil is a choice. To be abusive is a choice. Casey is a murderer that didn't know what to do with the body after she discovered it really was easy to kill a defenseless 2 year old. Especially after you duct tape her mouth n nose!

Casey loaded the "garbage" into her trunk and dumped it alongside of the road. In lots of states that is illegal. But, alas! let's remember this was a body – the body of a 2 year old child – her own child?

The only thing worse than evil... are the people who try to dress it up!

Cassie Anthony needs to throw herself on the mercy of the court & come clean. Her parents are not going to go along w/her defense.
They tried to warn her not to go along w/Baez

Defense says she blocks out her trauma well I bet she wonders where the hell she's being taking to every day.. I would think listening to witnesses say awful things about her would cause her to be in a coma

Casey has to be a crazy liar in order for her cop/father to stay out of prison. She betrayed him by telling Jesse Gund that he molested her. He somehow got the news and had to get Casey before the law got him. He also had gambling debts. He got the words put into the computer and went overboard by putting in "shovel" which the jurors should notice is ridiculous and Casey took the order to ask for the shovel and give it back. Remember Dad is police detective. He also put the ladder in front of the pool. The body was moved around because it became a sick, valuable asset. This case will make Florida look good because it has tarnished its reputation via Rilya Wilson, Haleigh Cummings, and now with letting Laura Caballero, kidnapper, off the hook. George isn't being thrown under the bus, he is driving it!

Why can't anyone question the true cost of this? If the death penalty was not on the table, it would be less-cheap gross-wise and less expensive taxpayer-wise. Everyone has an opinion! Me too I thought it kind of much a claim, that George Anthony got rid of the child's body. Barf. But it is a circumstancial case! If everyone has to agree with the death penalty okay (i don't) but never ever in a circumstancial case! And how about the unbelievable misconduct by the police and district attorney? Regarding that guy who 'found' the child's remains? He should have been prosecuted and instead the DA got him an attorney? That is gross. That guy has a lot of explaining to do, and it should not be as a witness.

She's guilty, but it can't be proved.

I have watched the trail. I Believe that Casey is lying Thur her teeth.She could have been molested by George and cay lee could have been abused also. Something is very wrong with all of them, the father ,mother ,brother ,and Casey .I hope we could really get the truth but only 2 people know for sure. Casey and God. Someone killed that precious little girl I think in my heart of heart that it is Casey. God will give her what she should her for killing her child.I pray she pays for killing that precious soul. The defence is just trying to spin a lie to get her off.I Couldnt defend a person I thought was guilty.

Really? Really? Once a liar always a liar whether accidental.or by another way(criminal) Why cover it up once again with more lies,A baby/child is a gift and to live life normally knowing she (Caylee) is no longer alive and walk thru life lalalala! Well I guess along with being a compulsive liar Casey is colder than cold should ever be. If molested /sexually abuse since 8 Why all of a sudden this came out now,lets count the years that someone should have been told.If the molestation did happen,why didn't she try to runaway or something to try and get away,but it somewhat explains the mindset, but not to cover up or the death of her daughter,or worse yet to be the cause of her death. Lets get real She is guilty of something real bad!

The pool story is the only one that I can believe. it makes sense Nothing else does. I was ready to pronounce her innocent. as soon Baez started his opening statements/ I hope she in innocent. But I am not so sure now.

looks like the defense is desperate,how crazy is it to say that Kaley Anthoney's death was an acidental drowning in the family pool!I if she drowned in the family pool how are they going to exsplain the duct tape found around Kaley's mouth ? or the smell of decomposition in casey's car trunk? or the smell of chloriform,and the many other factors that the prosecution has into evidence?I will watch this trial with close eyes and ears to both sides but as far as i can see from what has been taken into evidence since this case began Casey Anthoney is a murderer,and now she's trying to drag her father through the mudd too!!!!

Casey Anthony looked like a petulant child today during the trial – that things were being said that she just didn't like to hear. I absolutely think this is a pathological liar who will adjust her physical and emotional countenance to fit the situation she finds herself in, to obtain the results she is looking to obtain, to heck with whom she hurts physically or emotionally. Her facial expressions today with her stuck out bottom lip was "picture perfect", poor little Casey? I can't believe the commentators who are all too eager to get on the "beat up George bandwagon – – because SHE says so?? So easy to be taken in by a pathological liar. Although it would be a journalistically romantic story, I am hoping your journalists can resist that angle. MIKE BROOKS – former police official – please, surely you, above all, would see through this! This "good mother" that couldn't spend her days and nights with HER OWN daughter instead of her boy/girl friends, the "good mother" who couldn't get a job to earn her OWN money to go to J.C.Penney's and buy KIDS clothing for her CHILD, this "good mother" that couldn't drag herself out of bed to have cereal with HER child and wash her up, having Grandpa do it instead, is to be believed– now that she says she was sexually abused? Please, please start feeling sorry for the child and the Grandparents, not the woman who gave birth to the little girl.

It's only day one and shes already hanging herself with more lies! she makes me sick this case needs to show her true colors and get her back to her cell!

Something's fishy.
If Casey lived at her parents house, and even if she moved in with a boyfriend, why weren't her parents concerned about not seeing their granddaughter for over a month?

She sat in jail for 3 years because innocent people do sit in jail for years. We don't like to think about it because it isn't pleasant. Lee Anthony has the same parents but his life is a little better and he can never borrow money from his mom and dad if he were to take Casey's side. The difference between Lee and Casey is that Casey was the girl.
Lucky her. 2 brand new sciences get tried out in a case where the victim drowned and the body has been cremated. After the state executes her maybe her daddy will admit she was a good girl. She did everything she was told after she made the mistake of telling the truth for once. Look where the instructions got her. Ask for a shovel. No, give it back.

And nice job with the security in Florida. A dramatic mental patient gets to bring in her extra shoes and they let the defense get their nerves rattled by the Media on their way to court. Tell us that wasn't on purpose. I tell you what. You might think Casey Anthony is making a fool out of believers like me. Well, sex offenders look like "nice men." I'd rather not be fooled by a nice man. George had on a red shirt and he was carrying a Bible. That either says he is innocent or he is laying it on thick. He sure wanted to be seen. He didn't do cpr because it would have saved her and the whole purpose was to have the body as commodity and to frame Casey before anyone else found out about him. Who is the middle-man between George and Kronk? Really, did George have to distance himself from the word "bathroom" by saying "facilities?" He is a GAMBLING MAN and this may be his biggest gamble ever. As parents, how many of us would take the lethal injection for our children? Lots of us. Let them accuse us of anything and we will agree to save our children. And he was suicidal. They raised her.

Here it is People!!! I finally figured out who Zanny is!!!! and although Caylee's body has been recovered, Casey is right Zanny did take Caylee away.

I will expound on this soon!!

did anyone consider that she buried the body in the back yard then moved it at a later date...the dogs did smell the odor in both places..this also could be why the friends never smelled anything...after putting the body in the car realized the odor herself and left the car,,,only to be picked up and towed...this is when the odor was first notices...the question casey's attorney asked her boyfriend were so stupid...about when they went to the movie rental store about buying a gun etc. etc...daaaaaaaaaaaaa...thanks gloria

There is no hard and fast explanation with regard to Casey Anthony's behavior and her parents effect and control over her life and the baby's. One cannot say what normal behavior is, if in fact the father and or brother did molest her in the privacy of her home. When this occurs all normalcy goes out the window and what you'd expect or not expect is for anyone to guess. Because all the rules of normalcy are broken here. You cannot expect a certain behavior out of a victim..especially when it was a possible Father and daughter abuse. It will be a he said and she said for sure. But to say she'd act a certain way is not logical, because there is no logic to a Father's actions with a daughter or a brother taking liberties with a sister. It all goes out the window in a case like that. You cannot look at something and say, "Well she'd never leave her daughter. Or why did she not run for the hills?" Victims are victims..it takes years for them to get the courage to speak out. They spend their lives living like normal existence to cover up the horrible acts done to them as young girls. I don't know if the abuse took place, but don't discount it based on her behavior to date. That is not a good rule of measure in any situation like this.

Maybe she was molested (but I'm doubting that story) but so much of the defense opening statement was so appalling to me. I have the same questions as everybody else–if this was true (Caylee drowned and she was so traumatized by molestation that she didn't tell anyone about the death?) why has she sat in prison for 3 years? And why is Baez insinuating that Roy Kronk carried the body around for months just looking to cash in. I hope he sues the defense for all he's worth. No one would slander my name like that and get away with it.

IF Caylee drowned, then WHY was there no body immediately produced? WHY did Casey (after 31 days) claim that her daughter was kidnapped? WHY did Casey blame this alleged kidnapping on some imaginary babysitter? And WHY was her body dumped and discarded in such a cold, callous way if this was all an accidental drowning?

Because this defense is BS!!!! And the jury will see right through it!

ALSO, I cannot believe CASEY is sitting there allowing this farce to go on. Dragging her family through more of her foollishness.

Ridiculous!

Casey's defense how absurd!!! I just can't believe Baez could get up there before the jury & with a straight face say such lies!!! Try to explain the duct tape around the little girls head Baez I don't think these jurors r dumb as rocks I feel so sorry for George I did notice Casey kept shakin her head no so maybe she didn't tell Baez those lies Why would she not see Cindy on Sat. b4 Mother's day tho?

After reading information from other web sites about this Baby Sitter I have to wonder if there was, in fact a woman named Zenaida Fernandez-Gongalez. Several other websites have reported that a person by this name is/has filed a civil suit alleging that she lost her job and was harassed, humiliated, and embarassed by the story. Is this just someone trying to get money or is she really involved in the case. One of the stories may be found at the following website: seethirty.wordpress.com/.../caylee-anthony-murder-case-meet-zenaida-fernandez-gonzalez
I think that given the seriousness of this case and the effect it may have on a persons life, that this angle should be persued further, just because she didn't live at the apartment complex, doesn't mean that she could not have told Ms. Anthony to bring the child there. Besides that who would/could make up a name like that, unless they knew the person. Of course it's possible that she found it in a phone book, but then, that would indicate that the person did exist and disproves the police statement that no such person existed.

I'm still not sure what sexual abuse has to do with not calling the police and trying to find her child–if the child was missing. Why would that have any bearing on wanting to find her child?? Either she wanted to find her child or not–or she already knew what happened to her child and her way to cope was to go out and party etc. If that latter is the case, then sexual abuse still does not come into play as a variable for her behavior. I'm not sure what Baez is trying to connect her–the dots are not lining up to be connected. I've seen people look for lost pets more than what this family did to find this child. Not of it adds up with what is known–Cindy Anthony didn't know about the death nor the abuse–she smelled the decomposition in the car–the information known points away from anything to do with sexual abuse.

I'm still not sure what sexual abuse has to do with not calling the police and trying to find her child–If in fact, the child was missing. Why would that have any bearing on wanting to find her child?? Either she wanted to find her child or not. If she already knew what happened to her child then that explains her way to cope was to go out and party etc. but that would also indicate something suspect in how the child died and why authorities were not called. Either way, none of it adds up. Again, what does sexual abuse have to do with either scenarios? I'm not sure what Baez is trying to connect here–the dots are not lining up to be connected. I've seen people look for lost pets more than what this family did to find this child. None of it adds up with what is known–Cindy Anthony didn't know about the death of Caylee in the pool, nor did she know about the abuse? Hmmm–doubt that. That woman seems to be in total control of that family. Her husband even seems abused with his sheepish way. Also, his suicide attempt–why would someone do that unless they knew something and the conscience was eating at them? Too much of the evidence points to a cover up of something shady and awful–not accidental. And again, what does that have to do with sexual abuse???

Yesterday when one of Tony Lazzaro's rommates was asked about when he and Tony first met Casey, he was asked if Tony liked her. He commented, "Yes, but she had a child." the "but she had a child" was drowned out by an objection lodged by Jose. I thought everyone would be talking about his comment, but I haven't heard a word about it.

Casey murdered Caylee because she wanted to spend time with her new boyfriend!

The testimony from the ex girlfriend of Lazzaro shows Casey in the bedroom with Lazzaro and little Caylee in the frontt room all by herself, opening the door for a stranger. What if they had grabed her. Casey would not have known

Caylee could have gone out into the street and Casey would not have known. Even when the friend went out on the balcony with Caylee, Casey made no attempt to get her daughter.
Now Caylee was baggage to Casey

Also, if my father had molested me there is no way I would have him in the delivery room with me!

In answer to some of the comments, DNA tests were done and neither Lee or George was Caylee's father. That was done because of all of the rumors flying around. And I think for the defense to use George, who seems to have loved his granddaughter so much, in this manner is ludicrous. I believe he would try to revive her with CPR or call 911 if he found her in the pool. And I agree with others who said that if she was really molested by her father, she would not have let her stay in the same house with him for all those years. This whole defense is just a another big lie to try to explain the unexplainable. There is no way a mother would behave in that manner after the death of her daughter, no matter what the circumstances. I believe this defense is going to backfire and show what a lying sociopath Casey really is. She is one cool customer without an ounce of integrity, or empathy for her poor parents. I don't believe in the death penalty, but this defense just might turn jurors off so much that she just might pay for this with her life. Poor little Caylee.

Casey Anthony probably drugged her to go out to party and maybe with duct tape so she wouldn't be heard. She probably died at that point. Then she had placed Caylee in her car....that is why the car had the horrible smell. Or she was in the trunk to begin with.....so she could party up the night without anyone in her way Poor George Anthony...her accusing him. Really? Can anyone believe anything that comes out of this girls mouth? She is a liar. Has she told the truth about anything? My heart goes out to George Anythony. Cindy is a little out there.....but then she did have to deal with a pathological liar daughter too. The sad thing is a little girl is dead......and I believe that her mother had EVERYTHING to do with it. The defense is disgusting.

Why wouldn't we believe George Anthony on the stand? He doesn't have a history of lying like his daughter -

I don't think the defense is doing very well based on:
The defense said Casey was pretendiing all is well and not show sadness over her childs death due to her father molesting her. So what I see is a girl "Living the Good Life" dancing, partying, having a ball, never grieving – yet now she is in court fighting for her life and is suddenly emotional. Can't cry for her daughter's death – but can cry as she might lose her own? INHO the defense just backfired!

Did George Anthony just contradict himself about the duct tape? I swear he said the first time he took the stand that he did not put duct tape on the gas can....today he said he did? Did I hear this wrong????

Just heard some of George Anthonhy's testimony and heard the prosecution say there was a freezer. Don't know if they has been any evidence stated yet whether the freezer was checked to see if maybe Caylee was put in there and that is when Casey came back and placed the body in her trunk?

I think what Jose is forgetting that his client is a liar and theif. She lied consistently and maintained this horrible fiasco for 3 years. I think he also forgets that this is the most opportune time for her to tell the "truth".
She could have told her boyfriend all kinds of stories about Lee and George. Remember, Lee came by and expressed sympathy for the men she was living with. She didn't want her mother going inside, they didn't even know what her mother looked like. They never saw her with her baby. I have no doubt that she said horrible things about her family to everybody to gain sympathy from these men. .

Casey Anthony father said Casey was surprised when she saw him in the house.

If she saw the his vehicle in the garage she would suspected he was at home.

If I were in the jury I would be wondering,
who is Caylee's father?
Why was the brother tested to see if he were the father?
Could George be the father?
George stated (when he was on the stand) that Casey had taken the cans before, "why did he call the police this time?"

Has anyone thought about the fact that both George and Cindy Anthony are in on the defense's plea. In this way, they save their daughter from a "death" sentence or her life in prison even though George is known as a child molester! I think in their minds it's worth it. How can anyone think that someone who was abused would leave their daughter with the abuser? Also, after the 2 years of Caylee being taken care of and given everything by George and Cindy - wouldn't he at least try to resuscitate her - why would he hide it?

if the father knew that his daughter had taken the gas cans in the past, why would he wonder who would have taken them this time? something is not right with this guy. He is answering questions with way too much detail.

Sounds to me like the insession team has Case convicted. Not being a trained legal professional I find George Anthony to be totally lacking of credibility. He knows exactly how to answer questions. If his shed had been broken into before why did he not report it? Why would Casey eb surprised to find him home if she came in through the garage? Did she not she his car? He is evaisive and combative with Mr Baez.

I am very confused about something. Mr Anthony just testified that he put that duct tape on the gas can on June 24th. Caylee allegedly was murdered by the use of that duct tape on June 16th if we are to believe the prosecution. Did they have more than one roll of duct tape?
Just wondering.
'Cheryl

I think George called the police because he had repeatedly told Casey not to steal from him. Evidently, again, he tried trusting Casey and at that time thought she was just a thief. He did not realize she was a murderer.

Baez questions would be completely different is George lied to defend Casey

Casey Anthony is evil.Her father's only crime is indulging this sociopath her whole life.Throwing her entire family under the bus is hopefully the nail in her coffin.

Casey Anthony=Liar, liar liar!! Jose–lousy defense–nice try but many of us are just not that gullible!!

If Caylee's death was an accident, why not call paramedics? Accidents happen everyday. What doesn't happen is when a child dies, Mom parties like it's New Year's Eve. And can that crap about sexual abuse. Jose's throwing George under a moving bus with that accusation.

I would not hire Baez to represent my dog. George Anthony talks to much and its obvious when he is addressing a question that he is uncomfortable with. I would like to play poker with him. I assumed that as a former NYC detective he would be more familiar with the process.

My question Casey searched the internet back in March on ways to kill. What events caused her to do this?
Her new friends and new lover didn't enter the picture till the end of May. I have also noticed that some of the same words from prior videos were being introduced by her lawyers such as my mom would be upset, or about a drowning.
It seems her lawyers has built their defense by watching prior videos like most basketball or footbal teams do.

Why is George Anthony no longer a Cop? What rank did he leave at ?
I have worked with very closely police officers here in Cali and was married to one for 10 years tolerating his cheating. But we are still friends after the divorce. He was homicide dect when he retired 2 yrs ago. So being the parents of a son who is in prision , and the parents of a son who acted out because of his childhood molestation by a trusted a famly member and a DARE officer. I question Mr Anthony being so arguemenative. He has lost a granddaughter and his daughter is on trial. He shows no emotion(still being the cop). I am not sayin that Casey didnt do it , but the demeor of the father leads me to question what took place in that family. The mom took over the daughter because she thought less of her as a mom and felt as grandparents they could do better. Well I am a grand parent to a 3 yr old who loves Dora and I know my boundries no matter how hard it is for me and that her dad is in prision. This family has questions to be answered.

before this case started i thought that it was going to be a slam dunk for the proescution, george anthony 's testimony is not going well in my oppinion from the 1st day he is argumentive abrupt ,

George has a pocket full of nails to help the prosecution use to nail in casey's coffin, but to the defense he is evasive. The In Session crew has talked about how George is to be trusted because of the details, but one of the payent traits of a great liar is that he has an abundance of details to back up his story. I am like Al who posted the fact that Casey came right through the garage by her father's car and was " surprised" to see George, at a time of day that he was still typically at home. The devil is in the details. For George there are too many "seemingly" insignificant details.

I have to say that George Anthony is not very believable on the stand. He appears to be argumentative in an effort to avoid the question or give himself time to make up lies. I'm very disappointed in his behavior!!

Casey has done nothing but lie since day one. Since she killed her daughter. She is a heartless monster who did not deserve to have such a beautiful angel in her life. Why have they waited 3 years to accuse her father and brother of abusing her? Why now? Because Casey would throw anyone under the bus to save her own tail. It is disgusting to watch. She even let her daughter die and rot in a shallow watery grave while she went out and "enjoyed" her life. She went out and had a grand time while she knew very well where her daughter was and what happened. Just come out with it Casey. No one believes you.

Ok, there is a huge problem in the defense's theory. If George Anthony had covered up his granddaughter's death on June 16th, why in the world would he have called the Orange County Sheriff's office on June 28th to report something so trivial as a couple of missing gas cans – thus, inviting them to his house? In believing the defense's theory, Mr. Anthony would have wanted the police to stay as far away from his home as possible, being that he had just covered up the death of Caylee.

Obviously, this creates a giant problem in the theory of the defense's case.

Most commentators are looking at this case from a prosecutor’s perspective. I am looking at it from a juror’s perspective. Juror's are instructed that the defendant is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. While I believe Casey may have killed Caylee, the prosecution has proven nothing so far. I think the defense is doing an excellent job raising doubt. Why is George Anthony getting so flustered today? As a forner law enforcement officer, he should be prepared for anything. He is being questioned by his daughter’s attorney who is trying to save her life. Is this how a loving father with nothing to hide acts? Mr. Anthony is no saint. After all, he cheated on Cindy. This is definitely a dysfunctional family, and unfortunately Caylee was the victim.

Just a thought. Being a parent of two children that I would do anything for, is it possible that George Anthony could have agreed to go along with the defense teams story of sex abuse to at least keep his daughter Casey from getting the death penalty judgement if found guilty. Of course George will deny the sex absuse charges. This may be the only theory that the defense team could come up with to maybe sway some of the jurors to think that Casey acted out because of this type of abuse and in thinking this, if found guilty, save her from the death penalty.

The more Baez verbally beats up on Mr. Anthony, the more desparate he looks to convince the jury to believe Casey's LIE about him being a child molester! I hope he keeps this up as it shows the cracks in his defense.

why can the state use the photo when george said he put the tape on the can so the fumes dident go into the house then the defence went to use the same photo there was a issue ..

there's more than meets the eye with this case.george 's body language is not sitting right with me to cagey answer a questions with questions if you are telling the truth the words roll off no need to think about it in pre trial jose baez asked he told his mistress caylee drowned he was in the hotel room thinking about taking his life saying he wanted to be with caylee he has the bible in court he puts his head down answering molestation questions death of caylee questions one thing i will say about defense team comments this family is strange to say the least

I am very surprised at the ineptness of Jose Baez. Has he experience in criminal trials?

I found his opening very disjointed and hard to follow. His questioning is less than clear (read obtuse). I find him highly disorganized in thought and action.

Why is it that George Anthony is called a professional witness because he is a former police officer but no one has asked the question that as a former police officer if he tried to cover up a crime that he would use every thing from his home that he would know would be tracked back to his home. I think he would have used his knowledge not to get caught.

Baez trying to trip George up. We are all saying prayers for you George Anthony...the truth will shine.

This case is a nightmare!!!!
Just wandering if George Anthony molested casey at age of 8, did he also do the same to Caylee? Did anyone consider that he also may have been the Father to Caylee? Were any DNA done on George and Caylee?

i wish the prosecution would have asked george anthony that although casey borrowed the gas cans before, had she ever broke into the shed, actually breaking the doors, to get the cans. I'm sure the answer is no. that is probably the reason he thought it was a thief and not his daughter. Ironically, casey turned out to be a theif after all.

love the conment theresa yockim made cause i thought the same thing

Does Florida not have a drinking age and the selling of alcohol by a minor ? most of the girl witness's back in 2008 had to be in their teens, just out of high school. this was a fascination for them to be a shot girl. someone needs to look into the owner of the Fusions license, where is the liquor board? the girls I'm sorry to say can not be believed.

boyfriend doesnt know what they talked about but he knows she was acting normal.......

When I first heard about this case and followed it religiously through Nancy Grace, there was no doubt in my mind that it was a sociopathic Casey that did it completely alone.
Now, after seeing the trial up to this point, something is very, very fishy with George Anthony. First of all, during opening arguments when Baez was sending out the accusations of George Anthony molesting Casey, George was looked down. There was no look of surprise or slight confusion. No hint of a "what the hell?" came across his face. I know if I accuse my innocent dad of something like that, I know I'd get at least a change on his expression and not looking down in shame.
Then there's the gas cans. George mentioned at one point that he put the tape on the gas can because he didn't want there to be the smell of gas emitting odor all in the garage, but then during the defense questioning about the cans, he was going in circles with Baez about "which can?" and when Baez asked "both", George acts like a dummy "you're not being specific." I'm sorry that I may be smarter than an ex-cop, but "both" out of two cans was specific enough for me.
Then through all of the prosecutions objections during the defense questioning about the tape on the gas can of the "non evidence" picture, George said he didn't put the tape on the gas can. I think I smell a contradiction there Sir Anthony.
With the comments of why she would have her daughter around an offender, there are so many factors that can branch off from the human psyche. There are so many unreported family sexual abuse that carries on through the generations. There's just not a whole lot coming out and saying it. It also goes hand in hand with the whole "if she was molested, why sleep around" factor. People act differently when it comes to how they deal with past abuse. Some go the route of sleeping around (I really doubt strippers, porn stars, and prostitutes were never touched as children) and then others who don't want anyone touching them.

Now I am not on Casey's side. I think a big part of her lying is the fact that she had a huge part (if not all, I haven't heard the entire trial) in Caylee's death, but something is really, really off with George.

Interesting that Mr. Morales testified that he and Casey Anthony began dating in February 2008, but then was shown a photo of Casey and Caylee which he testified was taken in his bedroom in January 2008. And he said (about the photo being taken in January) that he knew it was then because Caylee had a bruise under her eye.

I cannot believe how this tot murderer sits there and shakes her head as her poor father testifies, she does this as if he is lying. She is the most disgustingly spoiled self centered person I've ever seen in my life, besides my ex husband and he was a murderer too. She sits there as if "poor me" I'm the poor victim here, oh lord this is one poor excuse of a human being. Trying to make it look as if her father was lying, when she is the biggest liar ever, her own family even knows it. This woman actually sickens me! I cannot stand the sight of her or her idiotic attorney Jose. George and Cindy Anthony are guilty of raising up this manipulating, using, conning, rotten spoiled brat. Telling the roommates girlfriend that she pays her "nanny" 400.00 a week. This girl has never earned 400.00 in her lifetime! She's probably never worked on day in her freaking lousy lying life!

I haven't heard anyone ask the question "Did Casey break the lock when she previously had taken gas?" If she hadn't, it would be more understandable that George Anthony called the police on this occasion.

Wow, I am listening to how you people on tv say George seems to be honest in his answers, but for me watching him give his answers he appears to be deceptive. Why does he look down or away on some questions? For me that is the action someone makes when they lie. It seems he has a selective memory in my opinion. Why if just gas was stolen would you call the police, instead of calling Casey to ask if she took the gas, she had taken it before. Come on all that equipment in the shed and just the gas was taken. This man has said several things that just does not fit. Another thing, how and why does he remember exactly what Caylee was wearing the last day he seen her. I find that extremely strange. I just had spent the weekend with my 4 grandchildren, and I could not tell you what they were wearing by Monday.

If Casey wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend, I am sure she could and most likely would have given her Mother custody. If she did away with Caylee for that reason then I would think she would have a mental problem.

if as the defense is now claiming, that caley died by accidental drowning, then why did casey research chloraform and such online? this girl is a proven compulsive liar! now she is throwing her whole family under the bus! i hope she gets what she deserves!

I think this is crazy casey issayng her brother and father sexually abused her.ya right know that when someone has been abused they sure do not leave there kid with the person or people that did that. im a servier of sexual abuse. so i know. she is saying all this crap beause she think it will make her look like the victume.she killed her babie girl beause she wanted to party and be free well then she should have keep her legs close.but know thst she wanted her freedom she killed her babie.i think she should live the rest of her life in prison not death.deathis to easy for the monster mother.her day will come when she walkes up to god and she will go to hell for what she did.i hope she gets life in prison.she is a very bad mother and person.if you don't like my coment please give me a reason why.

George says.. there are 3-4 shovels in the shed. This cannot help the defense knowing that Casey had no problem with breaking the shed lock previously to obtain the gas cans. She had access to the shovels, cans and more.

george said he wanted to get wheel chocks out of the car did he get them? or just the gas cans like he said or did she have to open the trunk again to get the wheel chocks?

Was "Zanny the Nanny" ever real? During George Anthony's first time on the stand I believe he testified that the last time he saw Caylee she was leaving with Casey, and he asked Caylee where she was going.
She answered " I'm giong to see Zanny". Why would she say that if Zanny wasn't real. Is George Anthony being truthful?

The responses of "why if George Anthony knew Casey took the gas prior, would he call the police this time?" I think it had to do with the shed actually being "broken into". I bet prior she used the key to get in, but when he seen the shed broken into it was a "crime" to him. And being a retired Detective I am sure he just wanted a report made, whose to say down the road if an arson fire was started that killed someone and those gas cans were at the scene, who is to say he or his family would not be blamed?

As well as I hope the jury has heard more on this case them what they claimed since sooooo much evidence is withheld from them, it is not right all the side bars etc... the Jury has to make a decision off "evidence" and yet in the US, most evidence is withheld. This is wrong.

But did anyone catch how Casey was sleeping with the prior boyfriend with Caylee there, and when this Lazzaro guy was in the picture Caylee never stayed the night. As well as she stayed the night July 1st with the ex-boyfriend, when she was with the new boyfriend? Whats up with that?

I think Casey is quilty of murdering that little precious baby, she wanted the "beautiful life" going to the clubs, "training" the shot girls, sleeping around and not being bothered by being a mom... REALLY SICK GIRL

A major strategic error by the Defense team to throw it all on the wall hoping something will stick. They had a better shot at "reasonable doubt" had they persued an "accident". Whether the allegations of child abuse, sexual molestation, family disfunction or party-girl are true or not. It cannot explain away the defendants 'demeener" by either side, thus far, during those critical 31 days.

george is playing dum come on he was a cop how many of us know when our kids are lying to us we look into everything they tell us to make sure it is not a lie

After seeing the defense strategy during opening statements, I would imagine the defense's ideal jury would be 12 people who have previously claimed to have been aboard alien spacecraft. Was this on the questionnaire?

So painful to watch prosecution early am. Need to pull someone off the bench who has a rhythum and is better equiped to ask questions w/out being objected to at every single question.

First, I am not saying that I believe Casey’s story regarding the situation. However, I have to play devils advocate for a minute to see if we are playing into Mr. Anthony’s hands. He is using terminology to sway or influence the jury. For example he keeps saying you are trying to confuse me, you are badgering me, is this a way of covering a lie. In addition, I do not remember, could this be selective by chance, because you should have been trained to improve your memory, based on background in law enforcement. I know that the worst witness can be the eyewitness, but come on you should remember more about this situation than any other situation in your life. He says, I am confused on what I previously said because you are trying to confuse me; because I cannot remember my lie and I want to sound more convincing. He is combative and clearly, he understood more than one of the questions. Is this a defensive move on George's part? After all, he does have experience in testifying and in interrogation. Secondly, he tends to lick his lips after he answers questions that may lend themselves towards Casey’s account of the situation or her disagreement to his answers. Now I am not a body language expert, but I have read more than fifteen books and attended seminars on the subject. I cannot say what his normal behavior is, but if I am looking for a cluster of deception movements, he embodies more than three constantly if you look hard enough. I am just saying something is not sitting right with me, and yes I have a degree in Criminal Justice. Again, I am not saying that I believe Casey’s story, but something is not sitting right with me when it comes to her father.

And if she was stealing gas why would she take the gas cans with her? Wouldn't she take the gas and leave the can?

Defence theory that Caylee was drowned not credible, otherwise this would have been reported at the time to avoid arrest and jail time for defendent. The question is: whether it is legal for a theory to be introduced by the Defense when there is no foundation.

Baez has been able to show that there were no odor of decomposition yet on several occasions but lest not forget, the decomp odor was also picked up in the playhouse area. Will be interesting to hear more about what was found in the playhouse area. ie: shallow grave, human decomposition.

i,would like to know on casey anthony why if the child drown go to the police rigth off it accident.why would a young gril set in jail for three years. go to trail and now faces the death.that make on scene so she must be guilty of what she did.

Why was Casey picking up gas cans? She drove to get the gas cans so she wasn't out of gas. She put the gas cans in her trunk so she was going to take them somewhere. Was she going to burn Caylee's body?

Two things -
1. Much was made about the tape on the gas can that was not a part of submitted evidence – could the duct tape have been added by one of the labs that examined it to contain the fumes? There is no proof the tape matches what was found at the anthony home.

2. Even if the child did drown, I do not believe George Anthony would ever allow his daughter to just throw that child away like trash. Who would HE be afraid of if there was an accidental death at his house? How much more can Casey put her parents through? Disgusting.

Perhaps the previous times that Casey took the gas, she had not "broken" the shed. Maybe he reported it this time because the shed had actually been broken.

It seems to me Mr. Baez wants to have it both ways. For instance, while questioning Tony Lazzaro, Baez asked, " Why did you break the lock on the shed?" He then asked if Mr. Lazzaro thought she could have broke the lock herself, and then made a big deal about how little Casey is/was, insinuating that Casey did not have the strenght to break the lock." The lock was broken on the shed on the 24th of June. However, while questioning Mr. Anthony, Baez asked how many shovels he had in his shed. I seemed like Mr. Baez was trying to discredit the neighbor who stated Casey came to his house on the 18th or 19th of June and borrowed a shovel. Mr. Baez cannot have it both ways if she was too weak to open the shed on the 24th she was too weak to open the shed on the 18th-19th. I hope jurors pick-up on these little discrepencies. In fact, Baez helped the prosecution in this questioning actually giving a motive as to why she borrowed the shovel and maybe why she never used the shovel. I have a theory, she placed Caylee's body by the playhouse, tried to get into the shed and couldnt. Then went to the neighbor's and borrowed a shovel. Realized that it could be traced back to her because she borrowed it. So she nixed the idea of burying the child in the back yard. Placed the child back in her trunk and then returned the shovel to her neighbor.

Who is paying for the defense team? Since Casey hasn't been employed for a long time I assume that her parents are paying the bill. If that's the case wouldn't they have been advised ahead of time of the accusations the defense planned to make?

I understand Baez is trying to save Caseys life,but shame on him pointing the finger at George,this defense is a disgrace to all defense,sick,sick,sick.

I think there is a possibility that George could have sexually abused his daughter, and now this defense story is away for her to stick it to him. OR Perhaps George and Cindy have plotted with Diaz this defense, and told Diaz what ever it takes to get her off, even to the point of disgracing George. Cindy has been portrayed all along as a controll freak.....

I don't see how it is possible for a person to consistently display day-in.. day-out, morning, noon and night for a period a 2months, never display an emotion other than.. "the usual, happy, pleasant, funny, and fun-loving" we've heard repeated testimony of from those closest to her at the PEAK of this dramatic event unfolding.

A very different story is hears from the video conversations from prison plus phone conversations with her friends and family that clearly show a more angry, impatient and frustrated Casey?

Casey allowed her baby to sleep in a bed with herself and a guy that she had only dated for two months.WOW.What mother does that,give me a break and give her D-E-A-T-H.

Just a thought... the other day, I can't remember if it was this channel or HLN but they had someone talking about the body language of Casey and George Anthony. But what about the defendants body language? If you look at Lazarro or what ever his name is... Every time he answers a question and says, "no", he looks up. Now, when the "expert" that was talking about body language. They had say when a person looks up the are basically telling a lie! So who do you believe?

Although it has not been mentioned, I am thinking he actually called the police on this occasion to report the break in because the lock had been broken off. Maybe in the past when she took the gas cans she did not actually have to break the lock off so it may have looked like an actually burglary to him this time. Also as for George being evasive with Mr. Biaz, wouldn't you after the things this attorney has set about him and the way he is badgering George to make it look like George is the one who killed his little grand daughter. I myself am surprised George did not get up and knock Mr. Biaz right upside his head.

Why would Casey Anthony allow her father to babysit Caylee if there was the slightest chance he was a molester?

I have been following the Casey Anthony case from the beginning. I am now watching the trial on your insession program. I am unable to watch all day and may have missed a few things. My question is this: If George Anthony and Lee Anthony are being accused of sexual molesting Casey why are they not been arrested or tried. If she brought this up to her
attorney during they trial preparation why are no charges being made against these two men.....Thank you

I find George Anthony (who I have not liked in the past) to be extremely credible. Defense wants us to believe that his reaction to finding his beloved grandchild dead was to yell at Casey and then we're supposed to believe that after he supposedly "helped" her, then went on to set her up by placing a piece of tape over a vent hole on a gas can.
Also, Casey is the one that was telling people there was an odor in the car that was coming from a dead squirrel. Casey even admits there was an odor....Just because the defense says Caylee died on June 15, does not mean that is when it happened and no one can say for sure when the body was placed in the trunk

It blows my mind that the defense would attribute Casey Anthony's behavior to a defense mechanism related to years of sexual abuse, which there has been no evidence of thus far. And then turn around and contradict themselves by saying there is no evidence for child abuse (in relation to Caylee). It just seems like a far-fetched scheme to redirect blame and dig for any defense. BTW...has there been any info presented in relation to the paternity of Caylee? I do find it fishy that it was so covered up by the family. Makes you wonder!

Hello. Casey sexually abused? She sleeps over her boyfriend's house as the boyfriend stated,allof them were in the same bed.,Casey on one side ,the boyfriend on the other side and the little Caylee in the middle. OOPS, not too good.

If this child had been killed by a middle aged homeless man who had PDSD from military service or had been abused as a child by his parents you wouldn't give him a pass because he's psychologically damaged. So why should Casey.

If Caley accidentally drowned in the family pool. Why did they hide it?
It is horrible, but if it is an accident, you contact authorities and explain the accident and life goes on..........................

Defense is trying to say that he made the call to the police about the gas cans to set Casey up....Why in the world would he want to start pointing fingers at Casey at that point ESPECIALLY if he was the one that did the cover up. It makes no sense at all.

I find it interesting that George Anthony testified that he didn't have any duct tape, now it seems he did have duct tape. Apparently because of his past profession he knows exactly how to answer a question. It seems he gets very angry when he is questioned about dates that he either can't remember or from previous depositions he had given to law enforcement individuals. I honestly believe that he is not being honest when questioned by the defense lawyer.

Also when he found out about his daughter being pregnant, why did he only question who the father was only 2 months before she gave birth. Could it be that he could have possibly be the father???

I'm mad has hell watching this,How did Mr Kronk get the babys body?Casey KILLED Caylee and nobody else had anything to do with it.

Vickie... The question has been brought up, but the DNA was done on her brother and not the father, from what we already know.

I cant understand how she had no emotion during those 31 days and yet she is showing emotions in court, Is this just for the Jury's sake?

I really believe that Casey Anthony used Choraform as her babysitter and that she overdosed her. Caylee died and Casey knew her parents would not forgive her plus she would criminally be responsible. She has never accepted responsibility for anything so she hid the truth with her continuing lies. She was also mad at her mother for making her keep her child. Now she's in a corner and she continues to blame everyone but herself. I think it's horrible how the contributing lawyers and commentators continue to BELIEVE her with no proof and discuss the possibility of George Anthony molesting his daughter like it's no big deal. When you hurl something like that at someone, you better have proof. Even if she is found guilty, he will have this hanging over him for the rest of his life. There is always someone willing to believe the worst in an innocent person. Also, George Anthony never would have tossed his beloved granddaughter away like trash. You need to think about what your words are doing to people before you speak.

I don't understand why they are even having this trial!!! IF Mr Baez's opening statements are true...then why didn't he tell his client to enter a plea and get a lesser sentence instead of possible dead sentence.
And this should have been done back when she was first arrested or a least when they found Caylee's body. It makes no sense.She has already served amost 3 years in prision. It is my opinion that both Baez's and Casey LOVE being in the spotlight and want their 15 minutes of fame. It is a waste of tax payers money IF her story is true.

If Caylee's death was truly by accidental drowning, why the elaborate cover-up?

To anyone that actually beieves the lies from Casey, I've got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn, New York.

Rest In Peace, Baby Caylee. Justice was slow, but it's coming.

My question to Mr. Anthony would be…Why did you try to commit suicide? Did you know this ugly truth was going to come out? There are four players in this murder mystery and they all have the last name of Anthony (George, Cindy, Lee and Casey)

FOLLOW THE DUCT TAPE???
Let me get this straight… Jose Baez wants the jury to believe that because George Anthony put a piece of duct tape on his gas can, and because George Anthony used duct tape to put up flyers about Caylee, this must mean that GEORGE is the one who wrapped duct tape around Caylee’s skull.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

It does matter she has been abused or not in this case.
Casey is cold heart, stoneface, and make up the story in all her life.
How she can live with the rest of her life since all people knows about her now.

For the people who are commenting on George's "reaction" when the defense first came out with their accusations. There has been speculation for several weeks that this is what the defense was going to say and I'm sure George was expecting it and perhaps even agreed to go along with it in the opening statement. I think he believes that Caylee's death was an accident and I believe he does not think Casey belongs in jail for the rest of her life or the death sentence and therefor, he was willing to let the defense say these things about him during the opening statement as a possible reasonable doubt BUT it just does not add up that he found the body of his granddaughter. I live in Florida and not once have I heard of someone being arrested for neglect over an accidental drowning. Also, we're expected to believe that he just went to work that day as if nothing had happened and behaved normally. Now that would be bizarre behavior. So what is the reason, where is the abuse EXCUSE for George Anthony being able to behave normally for 30 days if he knew he had covered up and thrown away his granddaughter's body??????

Could Casey Anthony have left Caylee in the car alittle to long one of those nights she was out partying? If not then Caylee had to stay some where.

Is Casey a Drug user? Casey may have a new boy friend that the police dont know about.

Casey's crying today when Tony was on the stand is very telling. She was not crying about Caylee, she was crying for herself. It looked too me that she was thinking about what she missed out on/ reminessing in spending time with Tony. If it was about Caylee, why dident she cry when her father was talking about Caylee's daily routines yesterday????? Think about it!

I would like to know why during these opening statements and up to the present we are seeing all these tears from Casey, when over the last 3 years she has not shed any tears. She has had plenty of time to shed her tears. I think this just another part of her acting. She should have been an actress, maybe she would have made it someplace or even a politician with all her lies.

A mother that has been sexual abused would never allow her child to sleep in bed with a man that she has only known for a couple of months. Moreover, it seems like she allowed this to happen immediately after meeting this man, and according to testimony the child slept inbetween them. I find this very bizarre behavior. I do not beleive Casey was sexually abused by anybody.

After followin this case, I've have come to believe that Casey was a single mother and was having trouble with maintaining a meaningful relationship with men or keeping a job or both and felt like lil Kaylee was the reason why. I believe she plotted out a plan to get rid of Kaylee "murder", and go on and live happily ever after. Thats why she out partying taking photos to develope an alibi. But her mother raised the red flag a lot sooner than she thought and the "nanny kidnapper" and the body did not have time to disappear. Now it's my father rape me, help me, I'm sick defence.

So the reason Casey can act "normal" and party for 30 days after her daughter died is because she was abused?????? What about George Anthony, why was he able to act normal for 30 days not to mention hours after finding his granddaughter dead and disposing of her body......because it DID NOT happen that way! George was not there when this child died. His daughter is a sociopath and that is why she is capable of behaving as if nothing happened and not all sociopaths were abused.

The sexual abuse defense if BS. My Mom was raped by her father when she was 7. She is the most caring human being I have ever had the privilage to know. She is a wonderful monther and a great wife. I was molested by an uncle at a young age, and although it affects me till today I do not and will not use it as an excuse to treat another human being poorly. Let alone kill my own child.

I have not heard anything substantiating who Kaylee's father is. Why hasn't the Prosecution brought this forward to neutralize the accusations of the defense regarding the alleged child molestation by Casey's Father and Brother. Perhaps some jury members are questioning whether Kaylee was born from an incestuous situation.

I wonder ,,,when casey was living with anthony L. and he (anthony) said they would go to the pool at anthony's resident. As of June 16 and the time casey got arrested,,, the court should have asked anthony if just he and casey had gone to the pool themselves. This would bring a question, why would casey go swimming in any pool knowing caylee drowned in one. If that was a fact??

I must say, I have leaned toward the guilt of Casey. Although, I did get suspicious when George apparently tried to committ suicide.In my opinion that was a red flag. He was involved in some way. Since hearing the defenses opening statements I believe there is reasonable doubt!. In fact, I can now see things in a whole different light. I have actually found myself feeling sorry for Casey.

I agree with you sunny. I believe that george anthony was very combative and uncooperative with mr. baez. it make him look like he has something to hide.

This is crazy why do the lawyers keep makeing it go longer put casey anthony on the stand and we will all see her for who she really is a phyco and a murder.and the lady talking while we are on break she keeps saying that gorege anthony was wrong by throwing water on people he had every right to.i just wish that jose will give it up she is a murder and she need life in prison.what he think beause this is a big trial he will look great if he wins well what if they lose he is going to look dum beause he defended a murdering mother.she is a horible person killing that beautiful 2 year old babie girl.put her her away for life and make her life hell in there.she needs to suffer for what she did to thelil angel that she took off this earth why to soon.she is phyco.and is not i mean not a good mother.give her life not death life.

I keep seeing this young lawyer saying how friends of Casey paint her as a loving mother. Lets not forget Susan Smith. Everyone that knew Smith said she was a sweet, loving mother and person. I never heard that Smith was a thief who stole from her parents, grandparents and friends, or no photos of Smith being a party animal. But, everyone knows that Smith murdered her two sons. So please, it doesn't make any different if she was a good mother or not, I think she is as guilty sin. And for motive, I think she wanted to be free of Caylee and I think she had planned to set her parents up to take the fall for Caylee death. Then everyone was out of her way and she then could move into the family home and live her party animal life with nothing or no one standing in her way. But it didn't go down the way she planned.

This trial is really heating up. The information regarding her relationship with Anthony is beginning to sound a little like a couple of cases in the past where a woman cannot have the relationship she wants or the life she wants because the kids are in the way. I also would like to say that if she told Anthony about the abuse before this happened to Caylee, then she wasn't repressing it was she. So that kinda blows out the defense trying to use that. Also Sonny always seems to want to defend the bad guys. I usually agree with Vinnie and Beth, but I always seem to agree with Mike every time.

To all who believe that casey is a habitual liar, I can only assume that you dont know anybody who has been molested...remember that Casey has stated that she was

I am with Sunny . I do not think so far that she did it . i don't beleve she had any reason to kill her child. She never went back home to live after that baby was died , she I think is controlled by her Mom . I think that is the only reason she left the apt . where she lived with Tony. I think her Dad is very strange I think if he committed death we would have found out alot about this case but , I don't belive he ever planned to kill himself just make it look good. I am not sure about Lee but I think this family is very distrubed and holds alot of secrets, I think we may never find the truth.

I beleive Casey may have been trying to frame her father/mother from the start. There has been testimony that she said she was moving into her parents home with her friend. Evidence shows she may have been planning to bury the body in her parents backyard. She sent text messages to her friend saying her father borrowed her car and it smells like death. She used duct tape from the family home and placed it back in the proper place so it was continued to be used. She came back to the home after the lock on the shed had been broken, Why? She was there once that afternoon. Did she plan on using the shovel from the shed to bury the child and was caught off guard when her father was home. Was her car even out of gas? Does anybody know this for a fact she lied later that her car broke down when it was fully operational. Was her motive for having Lazzaro break the lock on the shed not the gas cans but the shovels? I feel like all of this is more probable than the child accidently drowned and then because she was sexually abused she went along with a cover up and continued to party like nothing happened.

I don't understand the commentator on tv that is saying George Anthony is not a nice man because he turned his little water hose on all those protesters in front of his house. Anyone who has watched how some of those people behaved should see how upsetting this must have been to the Anthony's. She went so far as to call it an assault. How was that little trickle of water an assault? Why is she being so hard on him? I think he is holding up extremely well and coming across as very credible. After all, this man is accusing him of a heinous crime against his own daughter. And I think most people know this is just a concoction the defense has come up with to try to shift the mantle of being the victim from Caylee onto Casey. Casey is not a victim of anything but her own selfishness and viscous lies. Shame on the defense. And I can't think of the commentators name, but I think you couldn't be more wrong.

1. I think it is an insult to survivors and victims of sexual abuse for Casey Anthoney to say (via her attorney) that she could party, drink, dance, go out and have fun with her friends knowing that her daughter was dead because Casey was a sexual abuse victim. I don't buy that and I don't think anyone who is a sexual abuse victim or knows a sexual abuse victim will buy it either.

2. Casey crying during her boyfriends recollect of little Caylee seemed contrived to me. She didn't cry when she was out having fun the weeks after her daughter died. She is crying for herself.

3. The Defense attorney alleged that Casey "cried and cried" when she discovered her daughter was drowned. A normal response. But later that same night she exhibited a "bizarre" response (by having fun and partying) because of her abusive childhood. Which is it...she responds normally or she acts "bizarre". I don't thnk you can have it both ways.

I have believed from day 1 that Casey Anthony did indeed kill her daughter. The reason I feel this way is because of the way Casey spoke while in jail. She was massively consumed with herself, the only time I even heard her speak of her 'missing' daughter was if her mother said something about the little girl. The babysitter defense is also a dead give away that Casey did have something to do with her child's death. Even in court, the only time I have seen Casey cry was when the Judge said that she was going to get a fair trial. This was about her, as though she were a little girl getting attention and somewhat loved by this authoritative figure. I do believe that Casey has been sexually abused and possibly by George Anthony. I think that he is a very controlling man that is weak and dramatic and may quite possibly have raped Casey. As for Casey crying in court when her ex-boyfriend Morales was speaking of Caylee counting in Spanish, I saw her cry when he spoke of Casey being a great mother. But, the second he was asked, 'who taught Caylee this?' and he said 'Dora the Explore' Casey's tears stopped and her demeanor immediately changed back to unfeeling. Yuk, that he SOLD the pictures of this dead child ~looser big time!~

Today in testimony Tony Lazzaro and George Anthony reiterated that Casey opened her car trunk in their presence there was NO SMELL, on June 23 and 24. Earlier another witness had also testified she and other friends rode in Casey's back seat during the disappearance timeline and there was no smell. This is very important testimony because it is in conflict with the prosecution's entire theory about decomposition and Casey car trunk.

Witness Ricardo Morales also testified about one of the photos taken at his and JP Chatt's townhome of Caylee in the t-shirt that was found with her remains, these are the only photos that were ever released of Caylee in this t-shirt. A thin flannel Winnie the Pooh blanket can also be seen with Caylee in some of these photos, which Ricardo Morales provided to Globe magazine and which were released in discovery in early 2009. Morales stated in testimony today that Casey never left Caylee's clothes at his and JP's townhome (which they shared with Amy Huizenga). Casey and Caylee stayed at this townhome frequently up til June 9 2008 and Casey continued to visit and do laundry there after the alleged disappearance

I usually agree with Sunny, however she was way off track with her comments about George's testimony.

I would have to agree with Sunny. Although she has more information than the jury, I think Mr. Anthony is chuckling too much to himself and using unsolicited critical adjectives when discussing his daughter's behavior. He appears to have control issues (trying to control the questioning by Mr. Baez) for someone who is being totally honest. I think there might be some undercurrent in this family that we are not aware of yet. George is a former police officer who could not 'detect' his daughter was 7-months pregnant? He calls the same day about missing gas cans but never calls the police when his granddaughter, who he claims to spend so much time with after no seeing or hearing from her for more than a month? Something is amiss in the Anthony household.

Justice For Caylee

1. If the child drowned then why would there be a need to search on the internet for chloroform, home chemicals to make chloroform, Neck Breaking, and Shovels? I know To ensure the baby was dead; that must be the defense!
2.If Casey is so disturbed then why is it she only cries when she is in court and their accusing her and in jail when she got upset with her Mom and Dad! Out side of the Defense saying she cried and was so distraught when her father supposedly brought the child in after drowning; but then went out to rent movies arm and arm with her boyfriend, acting as though nothing ever happened. Usually you can tell when someone has had a severe cry even hours afterwards by their facial expressions and their red eyes and eyelids!
3. How about thte timing of her moving in with her boyfriend and their friends days after caylee went missing! Oh, but she was trying hard to find caylee! what; I know Caylee was out at the Bars and Night Clubs; that's why Casey had to go there and drink and enter best body contests, so caylee could see her Mom?

Get some grip people and think with common sense! If you really believe Casey was Molested and her child drown and she is innocent I have some Lake resort Property in Egypt to sell you!!!!

So we're supposed to believe the habitual liar that she was molested??? Not everyone that is a habitual liar was molested...

This case is just getting way out of hand with the gas can..... ok if Mr. Anthony sexually abused Casey like she said then why did she let her child be around him alone????? If caylee drowned like they are trying to say wouldn't that be in the autopsy??? So why was chloroform found in Caylee???? As a mother of 3 there would be no way that i would of let my child be missing of 31 days..... Again this case with the defense opening statement just took a whole different turn...... I believe Casey did it and is trying to get out of it by pointing the finger to her dad... Why would she be out partying and having so much fun while her daughter is missing?? Why wasn't she trying to notify the police that her daughter is missing? Blaming a nanny that doesn't even exist? I just don't know about how this case is going to turn out!!! the defense is taking over.... This case is a similar to OJ Simpson... Which I think he killed his wife.... A murderer walking free......

If Cassy's mouth is moving-then she is lying.!!!! You can believe nothing the wench says. Parent's love trying to save her sorry neck. No one feels good about one being put to death. Life without parole is good enough. See how many party shots she will be taking the next 60 year inside those 4 small walls.

@Snowball, I think the girl who testified there was no odor was in the car on June 20....maybe the body had not been placed there yet. George and Tony say they smelled gas, which could easily mask the other odor AND Casey herself said there was an odor but she told people it was a dead squirrel. So we're to believe that the tow truck guy, George, Cindy, Lee and law enforcement are all lying about the odor? No one really knows when Caylee died and when she was placed in the trunk. Just because Caylee had not been seen after the 16th, does not mean she died on the 16th!

I find George Anthony's testimony to be somewhat illogical, in that I mean there are times when he recalls somethings in such detail that it almost rehearsed and in other times, he dosn't recall. Isn't that somewhat contradictory?

I'm just gonna throw this out there. The Anthony Family, while obviously disfunctional, seem to stand behind each other no matter what. What is to say this is a strategy by the family to create doubt in the jurors mind by claiming George and her brother molested Casey and her father helped get rid of the body?

Yes, their grand daughter is dead. There is nothing they can do about that, however, I am sure that they do not want to see their daughter put to death by lethal injection. In other words, maybe the family created this entire story long ago to simply create reasonable doubt in order to spare their only daughter.

What's to say that they are all in on this, besides the state of course, and the Anthonys are willing to be thrown under the bus to save their daughter. I know that I personally would do and suffer through anything to save my child's life. What's to say they are not working with the defense and used this strategy years ago?

They stated numerous times that George Anthony was a cop and knows the process. Would he be willing to suffer these accusations to save Casey? To be honest, it creates doubt on both sides and maybe that is the point!

There was video of George and Cindy visiting Casey. Cindy stated the new "gossip" about Caylee, that she had drowned in the family pool. Casey sarcastically replied, "Surprise, Surprise." Is the defense's opening statement that Caylee drowned, true or false??

i'm almost speechless. it's like the witnesses are on trial and not Casey! now we are to believe 2 completely different versions of the SAME criminal event how bizarre!

I have been on this earth for 78 years,seen & heard a lot of trash,but Casey Anthony is the lowest of low!! To do this to her parents just to save her sorry life is the lowest down thing anyone could do.Her parents loved and cared for Caylee not to mention taking care of her sorry self.. I believe they realized she killed Caylee and have done everything they could to cover for her these past three years while bearing the heartache of lossing Caylee. I can't believe anyone would buy her story that George molested her. He and Cindy worshiped her and spoiled her!! She was rotten to the core.Casey was jealous of all the love they showered on Caylee not to mention that Caylee was a stone around her necklace. I also think death is to easy for her. I would like to see her sit in an 8 x 10 cell for the balance of her life without parole.

So far it is all smoke and mirrors from both sides.

The smoke and mirrors from the prosecution looked really thick and circumstancially damning, especially with the media acting as the public relations bureau for the prosecution the last three years.

Then the defense backed up a '59 Buick (with a blown head gasket) and started pumping out their own smoke, while opening up a whole house of mirrors that would make any circus proud.

I forcast that the defense will not even put up a defense case, but will harp on the fact that no matter what you "think"... the State of Fla cannot and has not proved anything beyond a reasonable doubt, except that Casey lied to the police (as far as the charges)...in which she will gladly accept a verdict of guilty.

The "it was an accident and George Anthony is a molester" defense was brilliant, whether true or not. It is just as dramatic as calling Caley Anthony to the witness stand, if anyone looks at the door for Caley, there is doubt.

We can talk about what we believe as far as Casey and Caley all day long, but this is a MURDER case, and it boils down to proving all the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, I don't think the State can do it.

Morales said Casey had a problem getting Caylee to sleep,sounds like CHLOROFORM for the baby.

I hope the jury sees thru Baez lies, she kill her daughter to have fun, never for a moment she miss Casey, if her mother had not ask for Casey , she would have gone having fun the rest of her life.I am afraid tha George will commit suicide after the allegations of sexual behavior.It is time this family sees her for what she is , a murderer.

I think G.A. was probably not very well "connected" with Casey at this point. She was doing whatever she wanted whenever she wanted and he probably had given up on trying to get answers from her. He tried to say on the stand that he didn't really believe she had a job but he never really got into it with her. He and Cindy were having their own problems and it seems as though Cindy pretty much ran things and "handled" Casey and her problems and George didn't have much say probably because he had "messed" up with his gambling, etc. and he felt he didn't have the right to be getting on Casey's case when he was screwing up as well so he just kept to himself and Casey went about her own life without much questioning from him, which I can relate to because I have a 23 year old and I have learned the best way for me to have a relationship with him right now is to let him live his own life.

Can Roy Kronk sue Baez for calling him " a morally bankrupt individual?"

I cannot believe how inept Baez seems to be in his cross-examinations and demonstrations. Is he setting up for an "ineffectual defense" appeal for Casey?

Casey Anthony is a pathological liar, sociopath, spoiled brat. How dare her put blame on her father. It's so obvious that he loved his granddaughter. Casey only cries when it's about her. I saw tears when Tony Lazzaro spoke of Dora the Explorer. Doesn't anyone think that maybe Casey made friends with all these single people going to Full Sail, involved with music and clubs, partying all the time, maybe Caylee got in the way of her new lifestyle. I am surprised that no one has compared her to Scott Peterson yet, who loved his wife and killed her and his unborn son. Laci's mom could not believe that Scott would hurt her daughter or unborn grandson and stuck by his side in the beginning until Amber Frey came forth. How sad that these people feel that they can dispose of their loved ones when they get tired of them and no longer want them. Casey could've given Caylee to George and Cindy, she didn't have to kill her. It seems maybe she did this to also punish her parents, she seemed to be jealous of their relationship with Caylee. I hope she gets the death penalty.

According to Casey....the father of Caylee was killed in a car accident....how convenient. She probably doesn't know who the father is because there are so many to choose from. The FBI tested her father and Lee and they were determined NOT to be the father.

Mr. Baez is a hack. By the time this trial is done, the jury is also going to vote for the death sentence for him. He may as well get one of the shovels out of evidence to dig his own grave.

If Baez, believe Caylee, drowned 2 years ago he could have plea bargained this case at that time. He has concoted this defense to
inflate his ego.at Caseys , expense.If he loses she may go to death row.

So this crazy witch Casey only thinks about herself. has she puts her parents through enough?Now she wants to point the finger to how many people that cared for her? Why?if shse shakes her head again "self consiously" she if in denial!!!

If Casey Anthony was abused by her father, If she is such a good mother why would she leave her daughter with her abuser? My friend was the victim of incest and her children are not even allowed to meet her father. I find Casey's actions to be totally opposite of the way my friend acts. It sounds to me that Casey is a very self centered shallow person. I find it very hard to see her as a victim.

I am listening and watching this case where is Caylee fathers no one has mention him through out this case.

Does anyone else have the feeling that Casey is a drug addict? That would drive a wedge between her and her daughter and explain her bizarre behavior. I haven't heard anything mentioned about that possibility, but I have seen first-hand the changes that happen in a young mother when drugs become more important than anything else.

Just wondering...why didn't the prosecution ask Mr Morales if he and Casey ever discussed chloroform when the chloroform picture was placed in evidence?

Where s the father during all of this?

I can't imagine why Casey Anthony would sit in jail for 3 years and only come out with this absurd theory when her trial begins. If she's coming out with the "truth" now, why not way back when and save herself all this time in prison? Why? Because it's not true!

I have two grown kids who can't remember anything about their friends and all of these young people remember such details?? No way do these drinking/dancing/sleeping around girls and guys recall this information so well. They say pay me I will tell you anything.WOW all the liars.One little, two little, three little liars, four little, five little, six little liars....If I’m a betting person this is headed to mistrial with George Anthony in the audience getting to listen to all of this.Hello he is a witness...Get him out of there!

i think that if casey anthony is found not guity of killing this sweet little girl then justice was not served for this child or any other murdered or missing child in amercia this was a very senseless crime because if she needed her freedom that badly she should have put the child up for adoption

I admit in the early weeks of the investigation, I speculated that Xany the Nannie was likely Xanax. I am still thinking it could have been unintentional but still so much to know.
- What about that abandoned house/shed in a wooded area we heard about early on? Could she have dosed up Caylee at night and left to sleep there while Cayse was out and about? Maybe Caylee awoke too soon one day and was crying out for her mom. Cayse would have to think about another way to "babysit" Caylee so there would be no risk of that in the future.
- Could the testimony from ex-BF Morales that Cayse had a recurring problem getting Caylee to bed at night be a reason why "Xany" was used at all?
- Could it be that it become too difficult to get the prescription drug Cayse had to think of more creative ways to sedate Caylee.. like homemade chloroform?
- What was a joke to MOrales and his FB friends with the photo "win her over with chloroform" . could have lit a bulb in Casey's head

Casey was way out of her league running with this crowd of young people - they were going to school, had jobs, had apartments, had a life - everything she wanted but couldn't have - and in her mind, Caylee was standing between her ability to get those things.

Is anyone else having trouble keeping up with all the lies she was telling during this time? Two boyfriends, two jobs, a nanny, moving into her parent's house, moving away from Orlando - wow, have to wonder how she kept it all straight! And what on earth was she living on - where did she get her money??

yesterday many of the experts said Geo is a credible witness. I'm not so sure. I would ask is he a credible witness or a good lair? Now Jose B has jumped into the Anthony family craziness and possibly become a liar, too. Don't believe anything geo, cindy, lee will be saying. Also- opening statement by Jose. He said they all knew Caylee could open door to get to pool. Why wasn't a fence installed? Also- my opinion- I never/not for a minute believed Geo's suicide attempt was real. Miraculously saved by the bell! Only good thing for viewers is Cindy finally keeping her mouth shut- for now- when her turn comes- more lies. Keep in mind- way back in the beginning- did we ever see Geo, Cindy, Lee out of their house looking for Caylee? NO! But Geo had time for an affair. These people are dangerous

The truth will come out. If a person takes Xanax and drinks with it you do not have a memory of what happens. The family knows what happen to that child and they will not talk. If you have a body for days in a trunk of a car you could not stand to drive it. So what was Cindy driving the car for. She was the one who called the cops and said it had a odor of death. it would have smelled up the high heaven.when she opened the door Gas could not mask the odor of death. Its all a mess and hope the get every one its more then one person who did this to that little girl.

Another overnight with another man with Caylee there??? Are you kidding me??? Yea - she's displaying really great mothering skills there.

What two year old doesn't show affection toward their mom? That doesn't always mean the mom has taken good care of them - it's just natural for children to love their parents - even when they are being abused and neglected by them.

Jose Biaz continues to elicit information from witnesses on what a good and loving mother Casey. If that was the case, why all the partying and upbeat moods? If she was so caring, it would seem to me that she would have been an emotional basket case from the gitgo.

One question...was anybody a fly on the wall of the Anthony household? I'm just curious...

Once Lazzaro traveled to New York that little nymphomaniacal strumpet procured Tony's high dollar transportation to run to the bed of another! I like this person less with each passing moment!

I cannot wait to see the brother's reaction.

The autopsy is inconclusive about the cause of death.

No matter what- it is a great case to watch and we will probably never know the truth.

Are you kidding me!!!!???? Why is it everytime some is on trial for murder they ALWAYS claim that" I was abused as a child!!"

If and thats a big IF... casey was abused,,,, she may have left her child with the abuser, if her abuse started at 8 years old... she might believe that even though her father was wrong,,, that he wouldnt molest a toddler,,, or because she is messed up,,, think that he only had eyes for her.... she might not think for a second that he would molest her child... I am not going to pretend to know if she is innocent or guilty.... its all tragic.... and I wont rule anything out at this point...

before opening i was convinced she should be hung in time square. it but it makes since. after all the dogs hit at the pool. it's so believable that she paniced. most young mothers would. and i can even buy into the mollestation just because #1 the parents act odd #2 if my Husband had been there and those things said about him he would hve reacted in nothing else but storming out but he looked down and took it I think he di and it would explain caseys easy behavior with men and drinking. Her behavior still concerns me because whn my son died I cried all the time. Unless her drinking and bar hoping was to ease hr pain. I also con’t figre her and caylee were always at home yet it took 31 days for her mom to say enough and go get her. I bleive goerge knew because during the searches cindy did most of the talking. This deffantly in’t th open an shut case I thought it was a week ago.

It was obvious that Jose was frustrating the Judge, not to mention George being being all over the place today! Either he's smart (crazy?) like a fox or he doesn't know what he's doing. I think accusing him of sex abuse is another lie of Casey. My mom was abusive and we were dressed and fed and that has nothing to with being a good mother! And why is the Prosecution parading all these people talking about what a good mother she was?

Can someone answer this question:

If Caylee drowned on June 16th and they are covering up her disappearance where did Casey (or George) end up placing Caylee's body?

Maybe the defense knows and that's why they are saying the Meter Man discovered the remains, kept them for a while and then planted them near the Anthonys' home.

I just can't believe the prosecution hasn't raised the question as to where was Caylee's body hidden to cover up the drowning.

george or lee is caylees father i wil say this from the start of this trial to the conclusion

The bottom line is: Desperate people do desperate things!!!!! This is another Susan Smith case .

I think It's terrible that she is saying those things about her father, In fact she seems to be blameing everyone else for what she has done.I can't stand to hear the defense say that casey was a goood mother& she made sure that caylee had anything she needed, that's bull right there casey hasn't work for years. It was the grandparents that put a roof over the baby's head&food in her stomach& clothes on her back, not casey.You have to work to be able to support your child& casey didn't work.She needs to stand up& face the truth about herself, she's a liar & a thief& more & liking a baby killer. She did it all just to live the Good Life, as she calls it.I've never seen her shed a tear, over Caylee, just for herself. I hope she gets death row, that's what she deserves.

If Caylee 's death was an accident wae an accident (as the defence would have us believe) why did it take three years for Casey to say so? I don't believe anything that Baez says.

Lita made a good point! Casey was the last to see Caylee alive (there never was a babysitter, anyway). The car had no odor when Casey's friends were in it. So, where was Caylee? She was in the freezer in the storage shed (eliminates odor). Casey kept her there until she could figure out what to do with her. If not the freezer, then she buried her in her parents yard with the neighbor's shovel. I don't believe the drowning story at all.

All families are dysfunctional. All families have secrets. This does not justify Casey's "choosing" to lie all the time. She makes a conscious decision to lie or not to lie.

Casey is a pathological liar. I don't believe George or Lee molested Casey. I don't believe Caylee drowned. If she did and George was there and witnessed it he certaining would of tried CPR and called 911. She is grabbing at straws to avoid the death penalty. It's all about her! If she was such a good mother she would have been frantic and reported Caylee missing immediately! Her tears in court was the guilt coming out! I believe she was jealous of Caylee and the attention George and Cindy gave their granddaughter. She wanted to be free to live "a good life" without the responsibility of being a mother. She couldn't stand the thought of her parents raising Caylee because the attention would be taken away from her.

Casey will be found guilty.Do I feel she should get death penalty?Yes!Everyone is blaming eachother in the family.Casey is blaming everything on her father.because she's blaming her father for sexual abuse.Thats no reason to harm your child.How can her father sit there and let her accuse him,and still back her up as being innocent.

What does he have to hide?

this is a very interested case!
it's strange how Casey never told her parents who Caylee's dad is?/
she first said Eric and then said her dad had died in a car accident in 2007??
and now Casey says her father George anthony and her brother were molesting her?? UMMM???
they should investigaite that??
what if one of them is Caylee's Father???

I think the parents are in on this sex-abuse defense to cast doubt on her guilt and keep her off of death row. It sounds like a ploy to me.

Casey was nothing but a slut,she wanted the party life and her little child was baggage,and as far as the commentators to me left wingers,Casey fits the liberal mole,if this was a woman from the south who lived in a trailer park the hosts would have her in the gas chamber already this court session show has always been a liberal haven if you fit there lefty mold you must acquit sound familar,theres no question in my mine she killed her daughter.

Dear Vinnie,

It saddens me deeply to watch Jose Baez state that Casey was molested by her father and raised to lie which made her disociate the death of Caylee for 31 days. Am I wrong to assume they are overestimating the powers of the jury to process this? And, will they have to show examples of how this can happen by presenting other cases where it has?

Thanks,
Jo

Casey Anthony is responsible for Caylee's death. I would say there was a possibility that it could have been an accident, but the duct tape over the mouth and face tells me otherwise.

If you have been following the case from the very beginning you will note that the rest of the Anthony's weren't Really on Casey side until after the first arrest. They all made comments about how Casey lied often . Listen to some of the first police interviews on you tube and you can hear her brother calling her a lier and stating that his mom took care of Caylee, and that Casey was more concerned about herself.

Cindy Anthony stated that if Casey did this or did something she didn't do it alone.

George Anthony portrayed her as a lier during his first police interviews also.

After Casey got out of jail the first time she must have told her family a partial truth. She probably convinced them that it was an accident and how she was scared to tell the truth. Shortly after that the Anthony clan joined forces and started to cover up for dear old Casey. They all changed their stories which to some seemed a little suspicious. Most families will stick together no matter what.

Nejame resigned as the Anthony's lawyer once he found out Caylee was dead and he said he has a real strong understanding of what actually occurred and under no circumstance would he assist Casey. Watch the interview.

It seems that all of the analyst are giving Jose Baez far to much credit. I think his defense is seriously flawed in addition to the fact that he doesn't seem to know how to affectively cross examine the witnesses. If he wanted to make little Caylee's death an accident, then he should have let Casey take the rap without implicating the father..

For his claim to make any sense, Casey and George Anthony would have been co-conspirators and they could not afford to be adversaries in court. If he was a party to the cover-up, that means he threw his daughter under the but early on. How would George Anthony know that Casey would not have sold him out long ago while she was rotting in jail. Doesn't make a lick of sense, and the jury will see right through it, even if he were guilty of child abuse, that doesn't absolve Casey of her obvious crime.

To be perfectly honest, I believe that Caylee's death was an accidental drowning. This makes perfect sense given the moved ladder and Cindy's odd comments during Caylee's disappearance about someone swimming in her pool. The accidental drowning is outlined very nicely in Diane Fanning's book on Casey Anthony (the title that currently escapes me).

Caylee drowned in the pool, and Casey freaked. She tried to cover it up by duct-taping her move and making it look like someone kidnapped Caylee.

Whether or not George is involved, I do not know. I certainly would not rule out Casey's alleged sexual abuse, but I am not at all surprised that Baez took this route. We all knew this was coming.

To say that we are surprised is fundamentally dishonest. This was the only defense he had left.

Where to start, Casey's dad had shovels in the shed but the shed was locked and she was in a hurry and decided to ask the neighbor ,later she had her boyfriend to break the lock which wasn't an easy job. This whole defense was made up and Casey's parents knew just what was going to take place. Casey didn't want them to hear the shocker that Baez brought up in court . George said on the stand another time ,he was ask would he do anything to save his daughter and he said yes. GEORGE HAS FELL UNDER the bus for the killer of his granddaughter.Casey could be a loving mother when she didn't have her daughter very much .I think she would tell her boyfriends any sad lie just to get them to feel sorry for her,all lies. Cindy has ruled the house and Casey showed her she would never have Caylee because the baby was taking her place .

I don't believe for a minute that George Anthony sexually abused Casey nor did her brother, Lee. Lee may have tried something sexual with her but didn't get anywhere. Guess he figured as long as she was giving it away to every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, why not him. The defense is trying to get the juriors and us to buy this story of sexual abuse but no matter what her past involved, I don't see how the defense can convince the jury or us how or why this would explain Caylee's death or Casey's actions for the next 31 days before she finally decided to admit Caylee was missing and why would she report her missing if she already knew Caylee had drowned in the pool?

Why would the DA tell this drowning story which involved a witness who could collaberate it or deny it? If they were going to cop to an accidental death then why didn't they LIE about something that no one else could collaberate or deny?

I mean they know the whole nation is watching.

If Casey wanted her Dad to lie for her then why didn't she see them one last time before the trial to make sure they were on board?

The drowning sounds absurd so why make up an absurd story with a witness. If they had said that Kaylee died while in a bath alone – would make much more sense. Bizarroooo....

I thouyght if Caylee drowned why lie & hid the truth-that whole duct tape thing is so sick. Every day it gets more unreal. Liked the green shirt she wore on thurs. All these new pastel shirts I guess is to make her look like a young mom I guess???

As a tax payer in Fla I am so insulted that my $$$ is helping to pay for garbage. Take a look at Geo's tan, I don't have a tan like that- I have to work to help pay for his daughter and her atty's lies. This whole trial so far is nothing but finger pointing and lies from Geo, Casey, Jose. The witnesses so far are very believable/my opinion. This whole drowning thing is so far fetched, gobbling up our money and we can't do anything about it. Jose should be disbared for this dog and pony show. Geo/my opinion again- is in on this whole theory and probably Cindy and Lee as well. Just watch, people. We are being made fools of. Bottom line- this little girl should never have died – all their hands are dirty on this one

Just a couple things to answer some questions. First off the reason you did not see any expression on George Anthony's face while Jose (boyfriend of Casey) Baez was blabbing about molestation, was the Anthony Family was warned by the Judge if they showed any emotions or expressions they will not be allowed to sit in during the trial.

I have also heard the question asked why is Lee (the brother) not in on the trial, anyone who is a witness is not suspose to be sitting in on the trial. The exception was for the parents, even though they are there for Caseys side, they are the next of Kin to Caylee.

As far as the questions on George seeming like he is being hostile towads Baez, I personally think they don't want to see Casey fry for murdering her child, but also don't want to take the blame for their bad seed.

So far no molestation evidence, except her saying Lee was trying to "feel her up". Personally with her "sleep around" attitude I find it more believable she was trying to "do" her brother.

Casey is a lousey actor, and is now showing emotion in court when prior she showed none towards her daughter. But now with the jury there she seems to cry on cue.

Anyone know why Jose is not wearng his wedding ring anymore? Could it be he thinks he and Casey will be an item IF he gets her off, if so hes being played the fool he is looking like grand standing in court. Her behavior with her sleazyness, lying etc.... shows she cares about her, herself, and Casey alone. Not that precious little girl she killed, not the parents that raised her and spoiled her. NOBODY BUT HERSELF.

Can't believe any good mother would drag her daughter around from apt to apt with men she just met, yet alone let her sleep in the same bed.. She makes me Sick!!! Why don't anyone ask ,, Do you call that A GOOD MOTHER??? What wrong with Prosecution????

HCasey's facial expressions tell me what I've believed since the beginning.Petulant,spoiled rotten snot from hell. Look up the word manipulative and her face will pop up. The only time casey was an 'amazing' mother was when people were watching,that's how sociopaths operate. People have forgotten about a lot of information that came out in the begginning, Casey stealing money,credit cards,etc. Her parents have been putting up with her crap for too long and this is the end result.Still don't believe the drowning story or that george did anything to casey! The only thing her parents are guilty of is letting that sociopath run their life and allowing themselves to be so manipulated.Spendingthe rest of her life in prison is just what she needs.Death would be the easy way out for her.

The Prosecutor in the Casey Anthony trial has me totally confused because I can't figure out if he is trying to prove Casy Anthony is a Party-Girl who is good at lying (which is all he's done so far), or is he trying to prove she is guilty of murder (which he isn't doing a good job at). Seems to me the Prosecutor is going to lose the attention of the Jury if he continues to parade witnesses who have nothing to offer other than to say that Casey is a fun-loving, happy person. Where's the BEEF Mr. Prosecutor? Prosecution 0 – Defense Team 10

if she foold everyone by telling them that she had a job , and everything was great , what makes us think she wasnt fooling everyone about the bond she had with Kalee ? she was just looking for a great time where ever she was and at her mothers with all the drama she found a great time playing with Kaylee !

Ahhh,isn't Casey precious! Now she's a 'lawyer'! Guess she's trying to 'coordinate this event'!

Hey does anyone know if Casey Anthony is found guilty, could George and Lee Anthony file a case against Jose Baez for slander? The idea that George and Lee abused Casey is very serious and just the aqusation alone could really cause them problems after all of this is over. Also, yesterday some of the in session staff was talking about Casey not talking to Jose Baez. Did anyone find out if there is a rif between Casey and Jose? Maybe she is upset that he is making these abuse aqusations against her father?

Does any of the Videos after June 16th sho Casey buying any clother ,dipers,bottles or any baby stuff ?

To Theresa Yockim – I agree – The first thing that came to mind was Zanex.
I was following this case from the get go. I think she did it. It is uncomprehesible to a person with a normal mind how someone could do this and act as if nothing happened. She may escape the death penalty, but I don't see how she cannot be convicted.

I think Casey gave the baby some Zanny the Nanny, the street drug, placed her in the trunk of the car to sleep, went out to the clubs with her friends, and came home drunk. She over sleeps and being in Florida in June, and the car can get to 150 degrees in the sun, finds the baby dead in the trunk. She knew she would be charged with manslaughter or contributing to the death of her child. So it was easier to make up this whole lie about Zanny the nanny having her. She even tells the police that Zanny has been working for her for a little over a year.
What a joke on the family that she was having Zanny the nanny watching her child. So if her parents wouldn't watch Caylee, or they made her responsible for her own child, she just whipped our some Zanax to do it's trusty job. This women lies so much, there is no truth anymore in her mind. Why tell the truth when a lie will do. Hope she gets life, why let her off the hook so easily. Let her suffer forever.

Regarding the Defense contention that Caylee drowned in the Family swimming pool, it is not credible that a parent having discovered their child had drowned would not immediately try to resuscitate her and call 911. Also, if the defense argument was true, there should be a chemical trace of chlorine from the pool in Caylee's garments. If it is found, it may be chemically compared to the chlorine product that the Anthony's use. Just a thought...

I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse. I am also a victim of physical and emotional abuse as well. Many victims go through so many emotions. Some make bad choices, some make good. Having gone through that, I would NEVER EVER allow my children to be around my abuser(s). I'm disgusted with this defense in and of itself. Here's the thing... even IF it happened... an accident is just that, an accident. And George Anthony, having been a former police officer, would have known what to do if there was a drowning. There wouldn't be lies, turmoil, or a trial. It would be a simple tragic case of drowning, which happens. I also don't think it makes sense to hide it all and pretend it didn't happen. I've seen many tapes of her "looking" for her daughter, talking in prison with her parents, etc. I hope the defense is able to show all of these – as the Anthony's have been in the news media for years now – to show that George & Cindy have earnestly trying to get their granddaughter back, while she lived her single life. She may have been a good mom when she was around Caylee as the defense is trying to depict, but being a single mom isn't easy and perhaps things weren't always as it seemed. I don't find her to be credible at all. And the tears when her dad was on the stand? I'd cry too if I blamed my father for something he didn't do to get off of murder. I'm just disgusted. What a waste of FL taxpayers money.

If it is determined that Casey accidently killed Caylee, and there wasn't real "intent", will the jury be able to find her guilty of something less than 1st degree murder? I was under the impression that they would not be able to find her guilty of a lessor charge, such as, manslaughter.

I think Mr Baez is doing a great Job, before the open staments I believed that Casey Anthony was the killer and now I have my doubts, I'm sure Mr Baez have and explanation for everything and for me the most difficul part to explain will be duct tape around little cayle over her mouse and nose, but he will be say that her mom put it to close any fluid from the body come out, or maybe he going against George Anathony.... JUST GOD Knows whats happen.

Why does the state keep bringing up the missing child story. She obviously is not saying that her child was missing, so why are they continuing to try to disprove it? I don't get it.

The duct tape may have been an attempt to make it look like the little girl had been kidnapped. Don't know. I don't know if Casey was sexually abused by anyone or not, But there is something WRONG with that whole family. I think it's possible that Kayle drowned in the pool because Casey was not watching her and Casey in panic did some really stypid things to try and cover it up.what ever happened in one way or another Casey is responsible...accident or murder.

Did the name Caylee come from Casey and Lee ? was she named after both of them ? that would show how close she was with her .

I ment HIM not Her !

George Anthony testified that when the trunk was opened, he said, "Please, God, don't let it be Casey or Caylee." Why would he include Casey when he spoke with her AFTER the car was impounded? Also, earlier when they were questioning the man from the towing company, they showed George and Cindy, and they both appeared to be nervous. I still get the feeling they are hiding something. As far as I am concerned, Casey is still innocent until PROVEN guilty. Prosectors have not proven anything yet. I am waiting to hear the defense witnesses.

It is coming off as if GA is attempting to set his daughter up to go down alone. I was ready to convict her, but as this goes on, it becomes harder to believe he did not participate in this somehow. I do believe there is a strong possibility the accusations of abuse are true. Casey appears to show the signs of a victim of sex abuse. Having dealt with many victims of sexual assault and incest, it is hard to ignore those signs in her.

Since the Defense is using sexual abuse as their case did the Prosecution have George take a lie detector test? This is what I would do immediately. I bet they did and he flunked the test and that is why the Prosecution is just trying to proceed as though this allegation was never made.

i think casey was not abused by any member of her famiy. i think her mother n father are total liars an i hope and pray that the jury will see that this is one screwed up family an that casey is a murderer. i hope she gets the death penalty for what she did to little caylee. she deserves nothing but death.

Watching today. My question is if the impound lot manager was sure he smelled human decomp and Geroge had just told him on the way to the car that his granddaughter was missing why didn't the lot manager contact law enforcment

I heard that the duct tape found on Caylee's face was placed PRIOR to her death. This was determined by someone on the forensics team–maybe the ME–because of the position of the jaw.
If so–how does Baez intend to prove his drowning theory? Will he say Caylee put the tape on herself??

The defense seems to be blaming everyone but the one person who was responsible for Caylee, and that's Casey. It's documented that Casey is a liar, the defense admits this as fact, so how can anyone believe what comes out of her mouth? For Baez to go after George is disgusting, it's obvious that he's desperate. I sure hope the jurors don't fall for his antics. If this family was dysfunctional before, imagine for one second Casey should get off, I would hate to be in Casey's shoes when she is face to face with George.

there will be justices done for caylee anathony

I do not for one second beleive that George anthony, sexually abused Casey, for one when george, and cindy visited her in jail, she at times , wanted only to talk to her father and not her mother, and she also told them that they were good parents and never beleive otherwise. If he sexually abused her why would she allow him in the delivery room when she had Caylee. She is quite the actress!!!!!!

Caylee
was a real child...
dragging down a woman who lived in a dream world.
Caylee was holding her to the real world...
so she had to go.

also: Cindy wanted to keep Caylee for herself and to become her MOM
that was the last straw...
no accident and besides would George be so afraid of Cindy that he would help hide a drowning?
a murder maybe but an accident?no way jose...

In my opinion and I think it is going to come into play, when forensic's get on the stand that the duct tape was the murder weapon..........The theory of the drowning will go out the window, as it was explained early on, that the duct tape was put on Caylee's mouth while she was alive...Therefore, she could not have drowned. She would have been dead by drowning and no need for tape on the mouth....A pathological liar is a liar to the end.....Casey has deceived everyone ..As far as molestation, even is she was molested , she would show emotion about her daughter...especially in court when they show pictures of Caylee.....there is none..........This person( Casey) is hard hearted and evil.......Her actions are after Caylee went missing are certainly out of the norm and No actions of post trauma stress...are they kidding me????

She is guilty. I have a brother that pulled the same shit. He had a daughter his new girlfriend didn't like and his new girlfriend was jeolous because my parents gave more attention to my brothers daughter(because they were raising the little girl) and his girlfriend thought my parents should upport her kids(from another relationship) as well. When my parents scoffed they pulled the little girls out of my parents house and disapeared. We couldn't do anything and didn't want to allienate and anger my brother more. They were hoping he would bring her back. I finally managed to to track them down and my parents went after custody and my brother told the police my father raped me as a child and was raping his daughter. He lied, lied,lied but people think if someone claims sexual abuse it's true when it's not. Sick people make these child rape claims that are not true! My father NEVER raped me Ever but my brother had huge stories about my dad playing princess with me with details that were lies. I am 4 years older then my brother I know what did not happen to me. BTW the day my brother made these allegations that night my father commited suicide and died. My dad told me that people would always have doubt in the back of their minds as too his innocence. It broke my heart but it was true people thet didn't know him police,dcys looked at him like he was guilty. I love and miss my dad and wish I could cut my brothers heart out and feed it to him. George is innocent kacey is guilty.

Watching Cindy Anthony testify is heart breaking,you can feel how much she loved Caylee.I hope she stops trying to paint Casey in a better light,there is no better light for that monster.Those fake tears coming from Casey make me sick.

I would like to pose a few questions to anyone who would like to comment .IF and{FYI } I don't believe it for a split second Caylee drowned ?? that can be proven by bone marrow test can even determine what kind of water and yes it can be preformed on skeletal remains for very long periods yrs after death,so my question,has that be done???next if Baez knew of this many many months ago what kept him from telling the sherriffs dept that it was an accident and saving the state of florida all the misery,money and time it has spent on her defense ,not to mebntion the jurors and god only knows what else why take it to trial for prosacution if he knew for FACT

I do not believe George had anything to do with Caylee's death I believe it was all Casey. When her and Tony went out with the other couple in Casey's car they stated there was no smell, but that was just days after Caylee came up missing right? For them to fit in the back seat she would have had to remove Caylee's carseat cause I mean that is a very small car, but yet on July 24th when the FBI took pics of the inside of the car Caylee's carseat was strapped in, yea she could have strapped it back in but why if you knew your child had drowned on June 16, 2008. I think when Caylee died she took her some where and buried her then went back later and got her and thats where the smell of decomp came from. If you search the weather for June 16, 2008 it states it was raining and thundering that day , I cant see a 2 year old going outside and getting in a pool in the rain or thunder. I think she overdosed her on something. I cant wait to see the evidence the state say they have that can prove Caylee was alive when the duct tape was put around her mouth and nose.I really dont believe George would have put a heart shaped sticker on the duct tape where her mouth would have been either. Amazing how Casey didnt shed a tear through pretrial but she can turn on the water in front of a jury.

why did Casey to several people say
"only a few days, I promise and the hose will be mine"

or that she would be getting the house?
How? from whom?
how would she pay to keep it going anyway/ no job?
Was she also planning to get rid of the house occupants too???

We were told that Jose would come up with this defense before the trial so I don't know why we were all so shocked when he actually put it in to wordsl. The problem with this defense is that it has a giant hole in it. We are told that George found the body and proceeded to screem at Casy SEE WHAT YOU DID!! and the next thing we know is that the Meter Reader has her body for a bounty. Please! explain how this came to be other wise your defense stinks as much as Casey and her so called Boy friends who clam she was such a good mother. There was only one guy who said she was a good party girl and that was all that these guys were interested in. She is a piss poor excuse for a mother. I hope that this jury can see through this so called defense.

These poor people. I feel so sad for George and Cindy. To have brought a child into the world to put you through this is a night mare of gigantic porportions I can not even imagine the pain these people are going through. As for Jose Baiz I don't know how he can sleep at night. I am sure he could have come up with something better than this. He had 3 years to come foward with this information and to come up with it now forget it!! It is not to be believed by any thinking person with any degree of logic.
Good Luck to you Jose and Casey I am praying for Justis not for Casey but for her daughter Caylee.

Hasn't anyone in this forum ever heard that sometimes "truth is stranger than fiction"? What is most obvious here is only that this family is very dysfuntional. Nothing seems to have happened the way we all think it "should have happened". this is sort of like Alice in Wonderland.

Seeing these grandparents extensively on tv over the last 3 years makes me believe just about anything could have been going on in that household. It is my perception that the grandmother, Cindy, is a very controlling person. It is also obvious that grandfather George has a big temper and has big chip on his shoulder. It is not implausible to me that he was involved in a cover up.....with both he and Casey covering all this up because they were afraid to tell the grandmother. It seems to me that neither the defense lawyers or the prosecution really has a handle on what really happened and the "strange truth" may never really be known.. And then you have that highly suspicious Roy Kronk......and I can't wait for him to be on the witness stand. I was suspicious of his motives from the beginning. I mean really......why would eiher Casey or George (if he was involved) dump her body so close to their house? None of this really makes sense......Alice in Wonderland!!

I think Mr Baez has no clue as to how to frame a question. It is embarassing. No Perry Mason is he!! The prosecution is bent on showing "lack of remorse", which should be AFTER she is found guilty.....and the judge is unfair in allowing the kind of quesitoning the prosecution is putting on. Especially since the defense is freely admitting Casey was lying all along.....between June 16th and July 15th when it was reported. How many which ways does the prosecution need to drive that point home? Just because the defense lawyers did not reveal what they say "really happened" until they got to court, does not mean Casey had not told them this story all along. Does anyone really think they would have made public their side of it from the very beginning? The police and prosecutors would not have believed it anyway.....they were convinced it was murder from the very first report that Casey held back until July 15th before reporting it. That is all they needed to convince them she murdered her daughter.

@ marion Jose Biazz is just finding out ABOUT all the LIES she lead him to believe. You can tell by his maner that he is DISCUSSED with her.

She had him blindsided he belived every thing she told. And now he doesn't know what to do. He is just one more of her victims.
.
I feel so bad for her family and I wish people what stop blaming her poor family.it breaks my heart what she is putting them through.

I hope when Lee gets on the stand he can shed some light on all this garbage.

American Justice at work! Guilty until proven innocent! Lawyers, TV reporters, all the rest who want to believe (without even knowing her, or her family) she is guilty.

I have know family where the husband has raped the daughter and it was never know – until after the divorce. Children are afraid to tell for fear that something else might happen to them.

This family has more than one liar. .a controlling mother who is more than willing to throw her daughter in prison before the truth is found out – just seems like the all American family, and the American public who just know all the answers. Good luck to anyone who has a this great of a family

I think that Cindy is realy hurting. After all, she is Caylee's grandmother. But I have been watching her on the stand today; and although she is sobbing, I did not see many tears . Back in 2008 when all this was going on, she appeared on many TV shows and did a great acting job. In the phone call from Casey, she seemed to be bragging about being on TV. I think she likes the publicity. I am confused. I have no idea who or what to believe. Jose Baez is doing a great job creating doubt. Nothing has been proven yet. I am waiting until after all testimony has been presented by both sides. As far as I am concerned, Casey is still innocent until proven guilty.

I would like to make this statement, I come from a very disfunctional family!!!!!!!!! I to was sexually molested as a child. But I did not turn out to be a liar,scoiapath, live in a fansty world. first I would never kill my child to party, or be with a man. now if it had been a accident, i would of called 911 and took my neglect, and punisment. I believe it was a accident. but accident or not she still needs to do the time. And quit blaming everyone eles, for her lies,lies,lies, ALL EVERY ONE WONTS IS JUSTIC FOR THAT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Mary,that's harsh,and actually it has been the exact opposite,Cindy and George have gone to great lengths to portray that monster in a more positive light. They have it seems been in denial about their daughter's character for years. What a way to have your eyes opened. Thanks to George and Cindy Caylee was loved and cared for until Mommy dearest decided she and Caylee needed 'space'. We see how that turned out. I can't imagine the pain the Anthonys are in and my heart goes out to them.

If as the defense has claimed that Casey and George colluded to hide an accidental drowning and George hid Caylee's body wouldn't they be talking a lot? Wouldn't Casey be trying to get George to influence Cindy to back off? When George got home on the night the police were called wouldn't George have talked to Casey – "What have you told them?" Wouldn't Casey have said to George that Cindy was going to call the police – "Stop her!" It seems to me that the very fact that the defense keeps saying that George had nothing to say to Casey is an indication that George had nothing to hide.

These tapes are a treasure trove! Some of the things that come out of that mouth, wow! Slam dunk, just put her away already.

Casey shows no emotions if she didnt do it she would be crying way more then she is doing .Hell looks like she having hard time finding them tears.That girl knows she did it .They said that Caylee drowned but now they r trying to say the meter man put her body in the woods i mean get real this case is so easy CASEY IS GULITY I feel for her parents they live in the home that there granddaughter got killed in.
All Casey does is lie and the state of Florida should be mad to have to pay for time wasted on this case.

If she was abused as Baez says, than maybe that helped her develop a taste for it and she spent years looking for something a little more "al dente".

She needs to swing for it, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming and I am prepared to pull the lever or switch and then if a few years later, the real Zanny turns up and says "Hey, it was me all along" then just like Casey the liar, I would say "Gee, I'm sorry".

I can buy the drowning of Caylee, due to Casey sleeping in after George left for work. So when did Casey and Cindy have there fight on June 15?.. when she left with Caylee for the last time. Cindy keeps saying on June 9th. then corrects her self saying the 16 of June. Something bad – happen on this date and the fear of going to prison even on man slaughter is still big when the state of Florida would seek the Death Penalty on a Third teen (13) year old for a killing of a six year a few years back. That by all accounts should have been a man slaughter case.

If, I was on the Jury hearing so far what has been said by the prosecutor's . I still have not heard that they can prove that Casey- had purchase even with her friend stolen credit cards the products to make Chloroform , or a prescription for Zanax or her being able to get this drug from her partying friends or her parents or duct tape found in the car she used along with her father. Who in there – homes do not have all but Chloroform in there homes . They have a pool that uses and needs many chemicals to keep up a pool. Can you say for certain that she was on the computer in her home ,??? even if they did hundred of times searches for these items . ???? – what they have put in her hands is the shovel and gas can and that she was with her daughter. The gas can only proved that the girl was known for leaving the car with out gas park someplace . Her parents even said she was known to take gas can for her car. You have a meter man calling in a bag for months late in Aug 08. and the body found in December. They kick the bag round and the place has been search before and no bag or body was found. Yet the meter man knew this bag was there. If Caylee body was place there by Casey or her father who took it???. and place it back at a later date and why.??? . I see it as a man slaughter not for a death penalty for an accidental death at the hands of her mother , only because of the lying and hiding of the body and disposing of her remains in the manner it was found. The Prosecutors and the Defense have both thrown out strong assertion , but only that the child was with Casey is all that they have proven noting else.

I AM VERY disappointed in our justice system this trail is no less than a public soap opera filled with lies it reads like a hollywood script and casey anthony should be givin an academy award for her performance . our justice system has double standards for the rich and the poor if this woman had been a poor african american woman ,do you think for one moment that this so called trail would have lasted anywhere near a year ,no i think not she would already be in prison serving her time case closed

Its obvious that Casey Anthony is guilty. She has lied since day 1. She lied about the nanny, she lied about her job, she lied about Caylees father, she lied about "friends", she stole money the list is endless. What I really want to know is, where was Caylee BEFORE she was missing, when people were seeing her still, where was she when Casey went out or stayed at her boyfriends house and Casey told her mother and friends she was with the Nanny? Where was she? Oh thats right, probably in the trunk of her car passed out.

I'm looking forward (kinda) to what the defense comes up with. I imagine it's gonna be some really wild theories!! I'm not looking forward to seeing George get ripped apart by all the accusations that I'
m sure are about to go down. I hope the defense just hurries up and gets their BS done and over with so we can get down to the verdict

Whatever happened to the detective that the Anthonys hired? He was the first one to be seen in the area where the body was found. What was he looking for? Why was he there? I am sure Casey killed her baby but still alot of questions.

It is DUCT tape. As in heating Duct. The tubes that circulate heat throughout a house. Duct Tape is used to seal connections between the pipes that create the duct work. A duck is used as the logo for the original DUCT tape. It is not "Duck" tape.
BTW she did it. If a child drowns accidentally you don't cover it up, you call 911 because how can you be certain she cannot be revived just because you find her face down in a pool. Maybe her dad did help her try to cover it up at the outset and buried Caylee in the yard but Casey freaked and removed the body. Then she drove around with it and her father was trying to find out what she'd done with the body, not what had happened to Caylee, which he knew full well but hadn't told his wife. I think he is complicit. That will come out in the end. He probably promised Casey he could keep her from taking the fall, but now that's not working out so well is it?

the evidence on her is beyond overwhelming. a 5 year old could put this together. for all of you saying accident i feel sorry for your kids if ya have any. why duct tape the child etc? why have a history of searches on your computer containing evidence of planning etc. missing children, injuries, Chloroform which was found in trunk etc. seems to me she was planning a homicide. i mean why lie about anything if your child is missing? i mean get real! lie after lie is just ridiculous. if her father molested her why on video tapes she's stating they are the best parents she could ever have? that's including her father. lol doesn't this seem odd? it discredited her on the whole issue. she clearly shows no signs of discomfort from her father during her visiting hours. being a parent ask yourself the basics. your child drowns and you duct tape and put her in a trunk? is that even logic? i thought the first move was 911 in such an event. that's what the norm would do. this is just a case of a sick family of liars. her mother lies etc. your child is missing and your out clubbing, having a blast?? wow! i say no more.

After Casey and her mother had the huge fight where her mom confronted her about stealing the grandfathers money and this was the last time anyone saw Caylee, I believe Casey took her daughter in anger and when the child cried and may-be cried for her grandma Casey taped her daughters mouth just so she couldn't hear her daughter cry and want grandma then may-be drugged her with chloroform left her in the car (trunk) and then went to her boyfriends. Hence Caylee died.

This is a tragic in many ways. Reading the facts does not make the case black and white but grey. The bottom line is that the mother did something to the child and her next steps are suspect. Why can't they use a lie detector test for the father and see if he new about a drowning?

In my opinion,the death of Caylee was an accident and that family covered it up and made it look like an accident because Casey drugged her daughter.The only thing was little Caylee was not totally asleep from the drug that her mother gave her,there was no one at home watching her,she went in the pool and drowned.Casey's father knew what happened because Casey told him about the drug and they staged an abduction and murder because of the drugs involved.I truly feel that that whole family lied to cover up the fact that Casey used chloroform on her daughter to make her sleep so she could go out and party.

wow who will do that to there own child ??
