Are all you people Brained washed down in Orlando??? This girl is a Liar!! Does anyone think She was A Good Mother???


June Griffiths   May 28th, 2011 12:19 pm ET

This has got to be one of the most compelling trials in history. What a sick human being, oh sorry, she is not human, no one human could kill that beautiful little chid.


susan   May 28th, 2011 12:22 pm ET

i have been watching this trail and following this story for 2 years or so and find the differing stories quite interesting..cindy anthony is on the stand today and it appears as though the padilla fellow who was the bondsman for casey was right about her being in a state of denial..she even said she continued to look for "zani" the nanny until about 6 weeks ago, even though there is no such person! i wonder if anyone else picked up on that..


Rick Lasnier NC   May 28th, 2011 1:35 pm ET

I understand from watching jury selection that Judge Perry stated to potential jury members this trial would last roughly between 6-8 weeks. However, I'm curious why they are holding the trial on Saturday because I would think this should be downtown for jury members, so they can rest on the weekends and spend time with family members and come back feeling fresh and ready to go on Monday....Rick


Sandy K   May 28th, 2011 1:39 pm ET

I have been following this story from the start, and I have always thought Casey was guilty ...but there are some very strange facts coming forward...and making some questions come to my mind. During the trial, we heard that Casey was going to get the parents house to live in ...where were they planning to go????? Maybe the searches on the web were going to be used to kill her parents ..If she had them out of the way, then she could live however she wanted. ... Next question .. the swimming pool in the back yard .. it is still there, and it sounds like they still use it .. would you want to have the pool that Caylee died in there as a morbid reminder .. I wouldn't want to use it again .,..I think if George really knew she died there , he would have torn it down... Of course if he was keeping the secret from Cindy he would just have to pretend all was normal. One other thing I noticed, Casey's lies to her friends were told, to try to make her fit in with their life styles.. they seemed to be making it on their own, and planning to have good jobs and futures, she really didn't have a bright future ahead of her , unless she landed a rich guy to take care of her.
Myself, I do not see how she kept all the lies straight. I would not want to be on the jury, and have to sort all the facts fron the fiction.


Clay   May 28th, 2011 2:37 pm ET

All this testimony of George and Cindy, coming after others testify about interactions with them both, and they sit in the courtroom listening! I don't get how Judge Perry's ruling to exclude them from sequestration is not going to be a gigantic judicial error if/when this goes to appeal!!


Pondo Sinatra   May 28th, 2011 2:55 pm ET

I would like to know about the car, why did she leave it at the Amscot?
if it was only out of gas, why didnt she just get more gas ???, clearly it was not broken down.


erika gomez   May 28th, 2011 3:08 pm ET

The Casey Anthony case reminds me of the Menendez brothers case, they also claimed that both their parents sexually abused them,everything was a lie as with this girl, she is a sociopath incapable of any kind of feeling , she feels only for herself, this poor parents gave her everything and now she degrates them in the most disgusting way possible, I have a cousin that lies about everything and she was not raised in a disfuctional home and was not sexsually abused, she also never killed any of her children,I don't beleive that a sexually abused person can block their child death and go on like nothing specially if that person the day before loved that child, no way. She liked her daughter for a while like a stuffed animal, can't say like a dog because you don't even behave like she did if you loose your pet, she cries now but controlled herself in June 2008.
I hope that she won't get away with this crime as O.J did and like Scott Peterson is punished for the crime. We tax payers have paid enough for this girl, lets not keep her in our taxes for the rest of her life.


Miriam   May 28th, 2011 3:44 pm ET

As annoyed and even angry as I have been with George and Cindy Anthony thoughout the investigation, my heart truly aches for them as they testify. I am a mother of four and grandmother of two little girls and their pain is so evident on the stand. I only hope at this point that stop trying to "help" Casey, face reality and just tell the truth.


Sylvia Gooding   May 28th, 2011 4:10 pm ET

It appears that Casey Anthony and her defense are coming up with all kind of stories to see what sticks to the wall. If they can get any story to stick to the wall, that is her defense.


Maxine Arcieri   May 28th, 2011 4:38 pm ET

George Anthony of all people knows that he could not cover up Cayle's death if it was an accident. There is no reason he could not call the police if it was an accident


kim copley   May 28th, 2011 4:52 pm ET

O My, Just Pray both parties give there faith in the Lord and rem. The Lord will give the the truth!


caith   May 28th, 2011 5:55 pm ET

The fit Casey threw after her mother came off the stand for a break Saturday morning – what was all that about? Can anyone read lips? Her mother did not even say anything that could have upset Casey.


caith   May 28th, 2011 5:59 pm ET

When her attorneys touch her back, is this Casey's cue to start crying? One day one of the attorneys first handed her a kleenex, and then she started crying. I guess this is another cue. It would be less obvious if they just kicked her under the table as a cue.


Joan   May 28th, 2011 8:01 pm ET

We need a lip readre. Casey flipped when her mother was leaving the courtroom after testifying.. What was she saying???


bettsyshort   May 28th, 2011 8:58 pm ET

After her Mothers testimony today...she will be convicted of 1st degree...but she will get life, not execution, because her family is telling the truth and she is still their daughter, They do not want to lose another family member and they love Casey. Does she not get it? Her brain is not quite right...Amalgya sp? God Bless ALL Anthonys.


debra devine   May 28th, 2011 9:13 pm ET

the strangest case i have ever witnessed on tv or in real life!!! i don't understand how she can drag her whole family down with her. also why is it no one else can make faces in the courtroom but casey can. Another thing i think casey went back home lots of times once the parents left for work, Also they keep saying how good of mother she was when in reality she did not work !! so that means george and cindy anthony are the ones who clothed, fed, and gave everything to caylee not casey!!! casey in my opinion is a manipulative liar! i think she planned the whole thing, maybe thats how the baby died, with duct tape and then casey threw her in the pool, what a witch!!!


bettsyshort   May 28th, 2011 9:13 pm ET

and lets not forget she is a narcissist sp?...so Casey is on center stage...she loves the drama and being the victim...is there a doctor who has experience with narcissiscum going be called?

eternity in jail...yep...eternity in HELL...absolutely.


bettsyshort   May 28th, 2011 9:37 pm ET

what a sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad story for this family.....my heart breaks for Alll of them...JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE.


Sandy   May 28th, 2011 10:23 pm ET

Casey lied to her parents, to her friends to the police.... so what are the chances that the ONLY person she is telling the truth to is her Attorney Jose Biaz? Really?! Deep down he MUST know that he is also being lied to.


Geraldine Rue   May 28th, 2011 11:19 pm ET

Re: Anthony Trial
When is anyone going to pick up on the idea that "Zannie" could be shorthand for Xanax? I think Casey drugged her child and left her in the trunk of the car while she was partying or spending time with boyfriends Perhaps the child didn't sleep well enough so she started using chloroform. When Casey taped the cloth on, the child may have lost consciousness and died. Then Casey may heve spent those days covering up the crime. An accident maybe, but the action would have been a crime. I'd like to see her spend the rest of her life in prison. Death is too easy. She needs to face fellow prisoners who hate people who hurt children.


Georgianne Miller   May 28th, 2011 11:22 pm ET

Vinnie, say Casey Anthony's claim it TRUE...what would happen if he got up on the stand and confirmed her story???


Dawn McGhee   May 29th, 2011 3:53 am ET

Here is the real TRUTH: GA wanted another "father's day" gift from Casey when she and Caylee were about to swim. Casey fought off GA, accidently releasing Caylee to drown in the pool. GA covered Caylee with the tape as a symbol of never bei...ng able to speak the truth and knowing Casey would fabricate the story. Notice how GA always places his index finger over his mouth. A sure sign of symbolism. Notice how GA never contacted Casey as much as Cindy... Notice how GA was also living a double life with his mistress...creating a "world" of his own...humm... just like Casey. Neither Casey nor GA had "real" jobs.... The tragedy is that Caylee's death is on the hands of both GA and Casey. Both of those adults were there at the pool. Watch as Baez unfolds this scenario....


admira kulalic   May 29th, 2011 6:36 am ET

I just can' t believe that somebody can do after everything she did to her family,again hurt then that much,with all this "Sexual abuse" and I think what she told Tony Lazaro,and when she told him is just because she know that everything will end soon,and her family will do everything to find her and the baby..It was just lie,after..Never,meet,never heard for this kind person,she is worse than Tad Bandy and all serial killers together,she don t care for her own blood she kill hole family..


Carol   May 29th, 2011 10:25 am ET

Keep a camera on Casey at all times, split the screen! Been watching how she changes from half dead to totally flippin out with her lawyers when she does not like what is said. Reminds me of the jail house tape when she flipped out on her parents! Did she flip out like that on Caylee for some simple little reason and grab her? Or just drug the girl so she could party and ooops went too far????? I want to see the whole trial before I really go with my gut about her being guilty..but so far Casey is not letting me down....she is soooo proving herself!


lamayda stephens   May 29th, 2011 2:28 pm ET

i hope casey fries, is have no sympahy for her or her legal team. she hurt her little girl and wants to also destroy the rest of her family. She has no empathy or respect for those who have loved her and defended her. I pray for justice for little caylee!!


candy05   May 29th, 2011 3:31 pm ET

i know that if i was that wrecker dude, and the car i was impounding smelled like decompostion, i sure the Hell would call the popo!


PEGGY MCCORMICK   May 29th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

Watched on Saturday, what was Casey venting about as her mother left the stand?? If I could only read lips!!!!
Please have one of the reporters clue us in.


Linda Kubik   May 30th, 2011 10:33 am ET

When dose this trail become about Caylee I am sick of hearing about Casey I hope she gets the max on punishment the death penalty is to easy for Casey.


Cheryl   May 30th, 2011 10:45 am ET

As a nurse I know that when someone drowns they have water in their lungs. If they are killed first then dumped or thrown in water NO water will be found in the lungs. Even with Little Caylee lying in that swampy area for months there would not be any water in her lungs. If she had drown in the family pool then the autopsy should of stated water was found in her lungs. I have never heard anything regarding this matter..... Has anyone else ??? I thought this point would of already been brought up by the state... Im assuming in due time.


Annie c reed   May 30th, 2011 3:12 pm ET

I would like to see the police officers run a dna to see if casey anthony dDad may be caylee marie anthony father the child.or her brother.anyway casey has lie.to much she learn from its from her parents.i


Aamilah   May 30th, 2011 4:46 pm ET

I'm just so confused, I cannot imagine a mother doing something like this to her child... In my heart I believe this was an accident! The pictures of caylee & Casey displayed true love... Casey needs help, not death!! Let's not judge, caylee is gone now..


Audrey   May 30th, 2011 7:51 pm ET

Unfortunately I believe that Miss Casey Anthony was so angry with her mom and envious of the relationship between her mom and Caylee that she decided to punish her mom by removing Caylee from their home place. But, I think that Casey used the Chloroform drug on her baby to cause her to be quiet and the last time she used that drug to quiet Caylee she came back to find her deceased. My heart goes out to the Anthony Family in this their time of suffering.


Ginny Stewart   May 30th, 2011 8:44 pm ET

As to ? regarding water in lungs. I think it was stated that only bones were found. There were no lungs to check.


Trial Watcher   May 30th, 2011 8:57 pm ET

Don't forget the jailhouse tape when Casey tells her father George that he was the best father to her and the best grandfather to Caylee; that Caylee was so lucky to have had him in her life.

As far as the outburst on Saturday after her mother leaves the stand, Casey says Cindy has never supported her, especially in the last 3 years. It is just a rant against her mother for not continuing the lie and putting forth Casey's innocence as she did up til 6 weeks ago.

This defense is based on the lie Casey told to the fellow jail inmate. In Casey's note she claimed that Lee fooled with her sports bra while she was sleeping and that she "thinks" her dad may have fooled with her as well, but she is not sure. So, the team picked up the ball and ran with it as far as sexual abuse. None of this is true, of course.

Casey has no use for anyone who cannot serve her purpose and only hers.

As far as being a "good mother" as her friends have testified, Casey was "on" when she was around her peers, seeking to present herself in the best light possible, as narcissists will do. But, there is a written statements from a computer store employee who says that when Casey & Caylee visited his store Casey was noticeably rude to the child, so much so that he expresses disdain for her. No need to act well in front of a mere retail employee who is not in Casey's coveted social circle.

Everything the Defense says amounts to the lowest form of defense I have ever seen. This is desperation. I hope Casey thinks she is winning and takes the stand. She'll be reduced to a lying sociopath for all to see. Prosecutors examine people for a living. They will put her in her proper place.


Jamie   May 30th, 2011 9:45 pm ET

I have been following this case for about 2 years and I have had difference in opinion no one can positively say she did or did not do it they say actions speak louder than words, but honestly if her showing no emotions or "acting right" according to what society refers to "right behavior" then why is nothing said to her showing fear from "murdering' her daughter. Some people from what I have seen on television they are in hiding when they commit a murder they run she stayed and went in the public's eye. The father seems to be hiding more than he is letting everyone know all testimonies are that Cindy asked where her granddaughter was not the grandfather. He is arguing with the defense attorney over simple questions. The family is messed up to begin with and like it has been said she is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but I guess that saying is out the window.


Pondo Sinatra   May 31st, 2011 1:23 am ET

To Cheryl When they found Caylee all that was left was skeletal remains....no lungs to find any water in.


pat   May 31st, 2011 1:45 am ET

Vinnie,please find out for all of your viewers what was Casey saying as her Mother left the stand on Saturday. She looked really mad and pointing her finger at someone.


susan   May 31st, 2011 4:37 am ET

theres people that think because of someones occupation they would never molest A child don.t we all know by now we can.t put A face on A molester and these are people who are commentating on this case they really should study about molestation and all the sickness that follows in A molester the last thing they ever want to do is get caught theres something very odd about GA he is guilty of something what was he really doing at the time Calie drowned .Casey and him both


Sandi   May 31st, 2011 7:40 am ET

I'd give a pretty penny to have someone that could read lips read what Casey was saying when she was so agitated about what her mother was testifying.


Ruth   May 31st, 2011 8:23 am ET

My mother would always said "if you tell one lie then you will need to tell 10 more lies to get out of the first". Casey lies so much, why would she think anyone would a word out of her mouth. I feel so bad for the grandparents and my heart goes out to them. When the defense keeps asking the questions about how Casey took care of Caylee I keep thinking the grandparents also took care of the baby. They would make sure she ate, was not physically harmed, etc. When I watched the video of Caylee's 2nd birthday and Cindy and George were smiling and so happy, I feel so bad for them because since their granddaughter went missing you never see them smiling again. Just concern and worry about that cute and precious little girl. One last thing, I watch Casey getting so upset when her mother left the stand on Saturday and Cindy didn't look over at her. What does Casey expect, she is blaming her whole family in this trial. When her Mother went to see her the weekend before the trial and she turned her Mother away and not wanting to talk to her. As so many people are saying, Casey is thinking only of herself and no one else.


cindy   May 31st, 2011 8:26 am ET

There have been several references to the FBI testing Lee to see if he was the bio father of Caylee. This appeared to have happened some time ago. ( ? prior to the death) When and why would the FBI be involved. I would like to hear more about this. I also would like to know if anyone could figure out what Casey was saying when she threw her fit on Saturday. This trial is mesmerizing and the hosts are doing a great job analyzing for us.


G.A.G.   May 31st, 2011 9:21 am ET

This woman is the biggest liar I have ever seen, but must of all she does not have feelings. She knows she is going to be found guilty and she is so cold hearted that she wants to take everybody around her, no dignity! You can tell she is lying when she makes all kinds of faces every time something is said about her parents, about her behavior, or her life. There is so much hate in her eyes towards her parents... It's a shame that we taxpayers are paying so much money for this trial to be going on. I never saw a tear in her eyes before when all this was being brought up, when she was detained the first time and now she has to put up a show on a daily basis. This is only a fashion show, every day wearing a different wardrobe. Her hair done and looking around as she was the one watching someone else's trial. May God be with those parents, it's a shame, even if they had any part of blame in the dissapearance of this precious little girl.


melba m.   May 31st, 2011 9:54 am ET

that child killer ,killed her own dauther she needs to be put away for the rest of her life, than tring to take her family with her,shes a sick person. damn her to hell.


Gary Dixon   May 31st, 2011 11:52 am ET

Having been a police officer for many years, I know that George Anthony is fully aware of a "check on the welfare" call. I routinely went on these types of calls. Why didn't he request such a check, at the very least after smelling the odor in the car? He waited two more weeks, and then his wife made the 911 calls, not him. Also, he was a detective, so why didn't he do some covert detecting after his wife was so scared and worried? I know I would do that for a loved one just to ease their concerns. And what reasonable father wouldn't ask who the father of their soon to be grandchild is? No reasonable father would wait until after the baby was born? Especially a former police officer, it is in their nature to be curious or suspicious. Which leads to this, what father wouldn't notice his thin daughters pregnancy until the seventh month, especially when that daughter lives with them and they see each other almost daily. If there was no possible molesting or accusations of molesting going on, why did George and Lee both move out of the house within about a month of each other? Something is up there.

Thank you,

Reasonable doubt building,

Gary Dixon


aleen   May 31st, 2011 12:02 pm ET

What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty". I too have doubts but the lawyer on today's commentary during the trial has not only convicted her but inserting her own "I'd cry if my mother was crying" line. Did she have Casey's childhood? Think they all attended the Nancy Grace pick a side and stick to it school. Never any room for doubt when she has made up her mind.


sons123   May 31st, 2011 12:21 pm ET

I think that George and Cindy are the true mystery to this whole case.


sam p   May 31st, 2011 12:24 pm ET

Remember when George Anthony left the home to kill himself? What do you think that's all about? Could it be guilt? Or could it be grief?


just lost   May 31st, 2011 12:30 pm ET

i cant see how casey can sit there and not have any emotion about her
daughter my god she was so called taken and you claim some lady
you had watching her took her and you dont make a riot and try to look for
this lady you dont scream to the top of you lungs where the hell is she because she is not real.. this case is so sad on so many levels and we
will never know the truth..cayless r.i.p


basha   May 31st, 2011 12:57 pm ET

I am not sticking up for casey anthony, but, in the phone calls her mother made to the police the mother stated HER car was stolen by her daughter. tried to have her arrrested for grand theft auto. than in another call about her missing granddaughter, the mother states the last time caylee was seen was in HER daughters car(meaning caseys car).the same car. Mother knew she was being taped in the calls at the police station thats why she is so calm when she talks to casey. The mother even uses the older son. Screwed up family. What kind of a man leaves a law enforcement job in ohio with benefits to come to Florida with no job offers. to work in security. kids 4 and 7 at the time.
nothing adds up.


P Woodson   May 31st, 2011 1:07 pm ET

Casey Anthony made reference to having received a phone call from a number that had been disconnected. Can someone explain how you receive a call from a disconnected number?


Barbara   May 31st, 2011 1:19 pm ET

A few ppl. are commenting what CA said on Sat. when her mother left the stand. At one pt. it looked liked she said she did that to hurt me and the woman sitting nxt. to her said I know..... She does have such a mad face on when her mother is testisfying and God only knows what is going on in that sick mind of hers !!!!
But to see Cindy so distraught was really emotional and there was really no reaction from CA that she could be witnessing her mother having a nervous breakdown. I really thought they were going to break and come back and say she had to go to the hospital.
That girl has no emotion she has brought this upon EVERYONE...
Her family, the jurors, the judge, friends, the police, media and the taxpayers of Fla . WOW she probably will go down as one of the biggest , best and sickest sociapath we as the public have seen and witnessed.....
Im just happy I don't have a child like that !!!!!


Juanita Allen   May 31st, 2011 1:28 pm ET

How anyone can watch Casey preening her hair and watch and not see that she is a habitual liar is beyond me!! She is a manipulative liar and only cries on cue, She put that baby in the trunk and gave her too much, as she was getting in the way of sex life, then returned to find Caylee dead, drove around with the little angel dead for a few days, then went and disposed of her body . She is the worst kind of killer, Caylee was getting in her way. Very dangerous person. I do not believe for 1 second that George.or Lee ever touched her. She was also jealous of Cindy and Caylee's relationship!!! May GOD be with George and Cindy as no matter what they love this cold hearted killer!


MIRIAM (CA)   May 31st, 2011 1:55 pm ET

Vinnie, the same Q as Pat. Can anyone find out (read lips) to see what Casey was talking to the Co-counsel after her mother (Cindy) finshished her testimony on Fri? It appeared Casey was angry at Cindy? What'd ya think?


CINDY   May 31st, 2011 2:38 pm ET

This case is plain and simple, Jose Baez isjust trying to make a name for himself with this absurd defense. I think he has an antisocial personality just like his client. Casey only cries for Casey. Her mother seems to care more about Caylee's death than she does.


lucy   May 31st, 2011 3:38 pm ET

i can believe how much ignorance blindness can her lawyers have. can believe the dont feel no pitty for that little angel thats no longer in this world. if they have a family ;how is it that this little angel dont touch their hearts. she was left at a wooded area like if she was a dead animal.we want justice for cayle !god will make justice for this beatiful angel.....


carolyn   May 31st, 2011 4:03 pm ET

Watching the Casey Anthony trial today for the first time during the day on HLN since I am home from work.

Love this judge! And trying to figure out what Jose Biaz is up to with the questions regarding the nanny and that time frame since the defense has squelched that theory now that the baby was 'drowned' on the first day she went 'missing'...strange, but maybe to establish Casey's ability to lie and people believed her??


Marjorie Hagen Krupski   May 31st, 2011 5:32 pm ET

Casey is used to getting what she wants when she wants. She is a evil evil women and I say that tongue in cheek (child) who wanted her little one out of her hair, she was angry at her Mother and did something about it. How can anyone put tape on a child while she was alive??? Neither her brother or her dad touched her, she is a liar from the get go and her attorney knows it. May she fry in the electric chair or what ever means of death method they use in Florida. She crys at the drop of a hat and they are ffalse tears and gets angry like when Cindy said Lee and her father did the landscaping by Caylees little house she was fit to be tied. she wanted the criedt of that. I know the jury will see through her....


Kim   May 31st, 2011 5:39 pm ET

Maybe I have missed something along the way...but since she has ACCUSED her father of molesting her~~WHO IS/WAS CAYLEE'S
FATHER?? I have never heard any reference as to who he was. Also, I thought when they found Caylee's remains she was to decomposed to find out that she drowned..I am confused I think??
Sooo,, was George Anthony also Caylee's father??
Is that why she wanted to get rid of this child?? The child clearly interferred with her social life.
Also where did she get most of all her $$$..by just stealing from her friends, & always lying?? The girl is pathological and the sooner she stops breathing air the better. It will save the taxpayers lots of money..


Cindy H.   May 31st, 2011 5:56 pm ET

Casey Anthony would lie if the truth was better


Miranda T   May 31st, 2011 6:02 pm ET

Casey wouldn't be the first mother in history to "snap" when her child demands to be with her grandma/grandpa/caretaker instead of her.
Regardless of her love for her daughter, the resentment Casey has toward her mother Cindy, is so intense, coupled with her fantasies/delusions, she just lost it, something triggered her rage !
Alternate Accident scenario: she punishes her daughter by taping her up, places a heart sticker on the mouth while in her snit and then comes back to find her daughter unexpectedly, dead. That's also an Accident, the kind we read about in road rage, domestic abuse, etc happening everyday, by "nice" loving, people


ellaffsalot   May 31st, 2011 6:04 pm ET

I am puzzled by the defense's strategy generally, and totally perplexed by Baez's questions today, the thrust of which seemed to be, "Casey being a Big Fat Liar, why did you believe her?"
Of course, it is the AUTHOR of the lie(s) who is the culpable and blameworthy person–particularly in this case, when the teller of tall tales also happens to be the child's only known parent.
As distasteful as I have found the Anthony family to be in general, there is no greater penalty for the grandparents than that which they have already paid through the loss of their granddaughter through homicide. For the defense to essentially point the finger at the grandparents for being duped by their own daughter is astonishing, and I cannot believe that it will be fruitful. I was also stunned to see that the defense opened the door to the admission of Casey's record of SIX felony convictions. That's gotta hurt.


John F. Belcher   May 31st, 2011 6:05 pm ET

Just because Casey was not a good mother does not mean she committed this horrific murder of little Caylee. We can not pre-judge this case on those facts alone. So home jurors, please keep an open mind as we go forward.


marie   May 31st, 2011 6:09 pm ET

How could the parents not know the way their dauther is?


Angie Belcher   May 31st, 2011 6:15 pm ET

Do you know when Casey is lying? When she opens her mouth.


Norm C.   May 31st, 2011 6:18 pm ET

The sad thing about this whole trial is that nobody will ever know the truth but Casey Anthony. You could put her in front of a firing squad and tell her this is your last chance to tell the truth and she would just make up another lie


Jackie   May 31st, 2011 6:21 pm ET

Did anyone notice that on the 911 Call, Cindy Anthony said the last time she saw Caylee was June 7th? If that's the case, how did Caylee drown on June 16th???


janice ellen cosentino   May 31st, 2011 6:21 pm ET

Casey Anthony, is smug and determined to save herself-She is without a doubt a sociopath, and a pathological liar. She is also a danger to anyone she would come in contact with,and needs to be put in prison,as a minimum consquence-I believe she is delusional.


marie   May 31st, 2011 6:22 pm ET

As a granmother i would have been looking as soon as first day passed from not knowing about my granchild.Idont understand


g.g.Nurse   May 31st, 2011 6:25 pm ET

Vinnie, Today May 31. cindy anthony testified that on June 16,2008 She came home from work and went to walk her dogs in the back yard and saw that the steps to the pool was on the pool and that the gate was opened. She stated that she called George at his job and he stated it wasn't him. then she stated that it must of been Casey.If George didn't use the pool on that day and was at his job, then how could he have been with Casey on that day when Mr. Beaz said in his opening statement that george was there when caylee drowned. Mr. Anthony had to be at work at 3, and casey knew this. you can't be in two places at the same time. I think that statement blows Mr. Beaz's opening statements out of the water. Mr. anthony was questioned intensively by the police. he didn't get arrested. SHE DID.............


AWH   May 31st, 2011 6:30 pm ET

I would pray, not to have the majority of these people to decide my fate. I do not know what happened to this precious God given child but, something is very wrong. Yes Casey may not show alot of emotions towards the death of her child but, this girl is on trial for her life. She has to focus on her case. Yes she is a piece of work, but that doesn't make her a killer. Everdently there are issues between her and mom where things has happened and her mom did not believe her or stood buy her. I feel that the mom knows or feels something concerning this pool situation. She has to choose between her daughter or her husband. This may be what Casey has been experiencing all her life, and may be why she seems to look like a coldhearted, and uncaring person, because now and once again the one person who she looks to protect and stand buy her is once again not there! Just because the father was in law enforcement,does not make him a honest and truthfull person either! Just my opinon, look at the eyes! Casey's eyes. There's alot going on. Even tho she's on trial for her life, who or what is she protecting?


linda   May 31st, 2011 6:34 pm ET

Cindy had to put on a act cause she got her SS or SSI money she is disable from all this . and it is so sad when you make money off a dead child shame on them they got 20.000 from a book that tells me they will do any thing for money


linda   May 31st, 2011 6:35 pm ET

i think she said cindy wasn't even there that day the baby got in the pool


Tammy Sloan   May 31st, 2011 6:48 pm ET

I think the defence is going to have their case blow up in there face. The defence says that Casey had all these imaginary friends(during Cindy Anthony testimony...maybe she has lied about be molested too! I dont think her lawyers are aware that they are only proving how uncredible "tot mom" actually is!! Casey murdered her daughter, no ifs, ands or buts!


janice ellen cosentino   May 31st, 2011 6:55 pm ET

There is no denying the authenticity of Grandmother Cindy Anthony. I found the testimony of Casey's former friend Amy-who said Casey told her that Cindy thought that , she (Casey).was a UNFIT MOTHER, very revealing!


mary   May 31st, 2011 7:00 pm ET

I believe that Casey came from a very dysfunctional family and I would NEVER give her the death penalty. I have absolutely zero sympathy for Cindy Anthony as she is a drama queen and the queen bee.. Casey was a very young and vulnerable girl trying to raise a little girl and her mother used this vulnerabilty against her. Instead of Cindy giving direction to Casey in life she made it a point to be at emotional war with Casey. Cindy taught her daughter everything she knows, and was manipulating by playing the fence the whole time...


Bea Moriarty   May 31st, 2011 7:04 pm ET

It seems to be a fabric of Casey's life that she relishes and exploits people with her imaginary friends and activities. Perhaps she is also imagining her alleged abuse as an excuse for her sociopathic behavior.


jh   May 31st, 2011 7:40 pm ET

Of those 6 calls or more Casey made to her Mother and Father on the day the drowning happend... Did either one of them return her call especilly being so many calls in row...You would think both did.. if so what was said.. and if not what was 'their' excuse??...With such a loving and kind and ever loving Grandfather and Grandmother like 'I' wish 'I' I could have have had...and with 6 or so in a row I am sure they did ..because something surley is probabably wrong with so many in a row like that.. so I wonder what the conversation was when they both called her back....


MBS   May 31st, 2011 7:50 pm ET

I was molested from I don't know when until I was 12 by two of my brothers. I told my mother, my father and FL Child Protective Services. I received no help. I have been on my own since 15, had my first child at 16. I lived a horrible abusive childhood. I not once have I considered harming any of my children. I am very protective of my children and they were never left alone especially with a male.

Casey is a real piece of work. She killed this baby, it was no accident. I've never seen someone so selfish that she would rather have her child dead than go to her parents and ask they take custody.


Elsie(N.C)   May 31st, 2011 8:03 pm ET

My Goodness my heart so goes out to Cindy Anthony in this.I can't even imagine how much pain she feels over this whole situation with her Grand daughter.I can't understand how this all is even making any sense to anyone listening or even the jury at this time.How can anyone do such a horrific thing to there own child is beyond me.If she was such a concerned Mother she would have called the Police the moment her daughter was out her sight.No Mother that has children would know there child was missing and not contact someone to help look for them.There is NO WAY!! A Beautiful little life was taken and I know justice will be served!! GOD Bless little Cayle Anthony she is with the Angels and JESUS now.


Pondo Sinatra   May 31st, 2011 8:41 pm ET

To Miriam.......this is what Casey Anthony said Sat as her mom walked out of court

“…hurts me… she’s here to protect him… she‘s never protected me…
she’s not even trying now… (Lawyer mentions giving Cindy a chance)
She’s been given a chance for 3 years and did NOTHING…
But now ya know it’s like she’s been given the chance… like every single day…"

…away from them… and everyone will help him… and I can’t help who she’s with… I mean I can’t…”

…that hurts so bad… she didn’t look at me once the entire time… (mumbles) …yeah, she did the other day…
(shaking head at Baez) she’s not gonna fight for me… there’s no way…
(wiping cheeks, shaking her head no) there’s no way for that, there’s no way for her…"


Diane   May 31st, 2011 9:45 pm ET

I wonder if there has ever been DNA done on Calley's Body. If Casey was sexually abused by her brother and or father. Maybe one of them could the the father. Cindy just seems bossy enough to have her make her daughter carry a baby to term that would be her grand daughter but also Casey's sister. Thoughts of Chinatown the movie with Faye Dunoway come to mind.

This family seems so dysfunctional that anything would be possible. If this is the case maybe it was really and truly hard to look at Calley as she would bring back all the bad memories of her youth.?????


Andi   May 31st, 2011 10:35 pm ET

I have watched every minute of the trial from the very beginning. The media coverage and 'trial summaries' don't even touch the surface of the depth of this tragedy. Casey Anthony had issues, yes, but she is not a maniacal evil witch and she did not murder her daughter. She will be found not guilty, there is no doubt in my mind.


susan   June 1st, 2011 12:19 am ET

For the first time I thought Cyndy was sincere. its hard being someone who comes from abuse thinking the mother must know .because it is clear to see something is wrong within this family,I thought wow this poor women, but when she was questioned by the defense and I found out she was already making money off the case I changed my mind again,I thought in other cases if you already excepted money for your opinions you could.nt be used in court. If she is talking with and has already met with A lawyer for book deal she must have listened to this tape and every other tape.etc.so three years later to act like your unbarebly breaking down like its new A little odd, when you have been also getting paid 2 does anyone think the song at Caylee.s b-day was odd for A two year old. girl you.ll be A women someday its not A child song weird


KK   June 1st, 2011 3:44 am ET

IF George Anthony sexually abused Casey, why on God's green earth would she EVER have left Caylee alone in his care – ?


Debbie   June 1st, 2011 6:50 am ET

To everyone wondering why the parents did not call the missing child in sooner? Casey is an adult, and the normal protocall for children is turning 18 moving out on their own and starting a family. Sometimes us parents don't hear from our kids for a few days/weeks for they have their own families or lifes. Yes Casey lived with them, but according to the testimonys of many she stayed the night at her boyfriends house's all the time. So how can you claim someone is missing when they are (should be) with their parents? I think Cindy and George were trying to give her the "adulthood" freedom and since they thought she was working, and all her other lies, how can you assume something is wrong. My son takes his son with him to visit people a few states over for a week at a time, its not in my place to keep a constant eye on him. But thank god I have a closer family and my children do check in with me at least every other day or so.


Patricia   June 1st, 2011 10:13 am ET

I would like to know if anyone of Casey Anthony's friends was using chloroform as a recreational drug. One of her friends had a facebook posting of a woman with the tag line "Win her over with chloroform". Could Casey have been looking up ways to make the drub because she didn't have the money to purchase it herself. Or did she get the idea to drug her little daughter from using it with her friends? Chloroform has been known to be a cheap substitute for GHB or ecstasy. No one has yet mentioned this as far as I know.


Robert   June 1st, 2011 10:54 am ET

After a weird dream, I don't want this to sound to spooky, but Casey's attorneys and/or parents should consider having her under suicide watch.


Eric   June 1st, 2011 11:15 am ET

This examination on Lee appears to be ill prepared for by the prsicution


janice ellen cosentino   June 1st, 2011 12:19 pm ET

The truth came out today when Lee Anthony said that Casey admitted that she was SPITEFUL!


Dhyan Story   June 1st, 2011 12:32 pm ET

George Anthony a sexual predator? Will someone PLEASE give him a polygraph....... That will end the speculation and close the door of that defense.


KinMich   June 1st, 2011 1:01 pm ET

Way too many sidebars. The testimony is so disjointed how can jurors follow this in a reasonable manner?


Laurie Blackstock   June 1st, 2011 1:31 pm ET

I have a niece that is a sociopath and they will go to great links to be the center of attention in the family and lying is part of the makeup. I see so many similarites between Casey and my niece. I don't think George could have held his dead g/dtr in his arms and pretend it never happened..and if Casey had a job how come she couldn't afford to put gas in her car? The bf should have figured that out! How could she afford to pay a nanny $400 a wk..maybe that's why she couldn't afford gas, lol. On Lee, I remember at the memorial for Caylee, he says he loves Casey and he would take their secret to his grave..what secret? No one has brought that up yet. I really think she was giving Caylee some Zanax or Cloroform to make her sleep while she partied and she just never woke up and then she panicked. I have been wondering where she left this little girl to sleep while she did these things? Don't think I really want to know!


Laurie Blackstock   June 1st, 2011 1:41 pm ET

The defense is saying that George sexually abused Casey..but in the jailhouse tapes she praises George and Cindy for being the best g/parents and that George has been the best dad anyone could ever ask for! Now if I was molested, I don't think I would be glorifying him! She just keeps digging her grave deeper! She knows she is guilty and is going to try to take the family down with her.


cathy   June 1st, 2011 4:07 pm ET

has anyone checked to see if she has multiple personality disorder
that would fit with all the people places and jobs she has had. If she really was molested as a child that could trigger a mental illness like that. Seems to fit after all I've heard


cathy   June 1st, 2011 4:11 pm ET

to add to my last comment She is zaniah she is all the other people she talks about, in her mind she did work at universal she looked for calee as one personality went dancing as another shopped as another etc etc


Debra Widlan   June 1st, 2011 4:26 pm ET

Wanted to tell Cheryl that the reason they couldn't find water in her lungs is because, there was no body left to detect that, only bones. Still we all know the drowning is made up. Too much evidence of another type of death, like the chloroform and the duct tape found over the face. So tightly bound that it held her chin in place under the skull. The shocking part of this is how many men slept with her without knowing how truly psycho and delusional Caysee really is. The father is out there and dosen't know he's the father. If I were her mother I would have forced her to give all the names of the men she slept with to figure it out. I think the cadevar dogs hit on the pool because she must have carried her dead body around the yard looking for a place to dispose of her, after leaving her in the trunk till she died. The dogs don't smell immediate drown victims.
What do you think?


Deb   June 1st, 2011 5:32 pm ET

An issue is being made today that George was quiet and not saying much after the police showed up or right after Lee got to their house. It looks to me that Cindy wears the pants in the family and he is used to taking a back seat on family matters, hence his silence.


VR"Sam"Bas   June 1st, 2011 6:19 pm ET

I heard mentioned during trial on this date, (6-1-11) Anthony being un-\
able to attend an "outing or nighting" due to her being out of ZANEX(sp?)
and her mother cold not babysit. Do you suppose that Zanex could be
construed as a nanny, i.e. Zanny the Nanny ?? VRBass


Josie in Fla   June 1st, 2011 6:26 pm ET

I think Jose Baez is grasping at straws. It is Casey's father and brother who molested her, Zorida, Cindy Anthony, the friends, boyfriends, Dick Tracy, . it is everyone elses fault but Caseys! People are not that stupid.

Personally I believe it was a case of a selfish, immature, self centered, spoiled rotten girl who probably wanted to go out and party. She cloroformed that child and did'nt think she would die. Casey is a delusional, pathelogical liar. She is a total narcisistic personality. I feel bad for her parents and the brother.


VR"Sam"Bass   June 1st, 2011 6:33 pm ET

Looking at all the posts, I see that there at least three of us that think
the same thing about the Zanax and "Zanny the Nanny" pet name.
VRBass


Kelly   June 1st, 2011 6:38 pm ET

I believe Casey killed Caylee to spite her mother. I think she feared losing Caylee to Cindy and so she was going to make sure that no one would have her. As far as the drowning defense..... Do they know that George and the girls were at the house that day ? How close are the neighbors ? If they were frantacilly yelling Caylee's name and then found her in the pool, you would think that a neighbor would have heard some sort of commotion. Also, can they check cell phone pings for everyone on that day to confirm their where abouts ?
Also.......anyone heard that the "Zanny" in the phrase "Zanny the Nanny" is really referring to the drug Xanax ?


Joyce   June 1st, 2011 6:49 pm ET

I believe she is quilty: I was molested by my father as a child, I'm a normal adult. My children are normal......I cut my father out of my life as of age 17 and never looked back. My parents were still married, so I had to give up my mother at 17 as well but I got away. She is quilty and a horrible liar. I watch her on TV and I seen her after the child was missing out partying, that's not normal for a griving mother, I would be in mourning if this happened to me. I would not smile until my child was found and could possibly need to seek mental health. I would not smile for many many months as this would be the most horrific time of my life. She knows what happened to her daughter and was most likely the problem.


Karen Cummins   June 1st, 2011 6:54 pm ET

I have been watching the trial since the beginning, one suggestion to her lawyer, have her get that pouty little girl face off . She looks exactly like the spoiled women she is being portrayed as. Shows no real emotion, except when it's about herself. What's the definination of a sociopath ? Me, me, me, Defense is about mucking up the truth so there is doubt. What is the "face of evil" have you seen it ? It's not the boogie man next door, it's the girl next door.


cathy vinson   June 1st, 2011 7:14 pm ET

what does being sexually abused have to do with killing a helpless little baby? not that I believe it anyway. I was sexually abused had a child at 17, and never once did it cross my mind to suffocate an innocent child so I could go party. Casey Anthony should fry for what she did


D   June 1st, 2011 7:43 pm ET

we all know the expretion the tv being the babysitter,could zanni the nanny really be the pills zanix being the nanny and she kept he at the empty appt


Val   June 1st, 2011 7:49 pm ET

While watching the trial today and listening to Casey's taped statement the day her daughter was reported missing, I was totally amazed at how fluidly and easily the detailed lies came out of her mouth. She is an amazing liar!


nanci   June 1st, 2011 8:52 pm ET

so if casey told her mother she was working, where did she get the money from to buy things for her little girl, thats why her mother was giving her pressure, because it would look like she is a bad mother because she didnt spend any money on her little daughter, because she was not working, but in the mother's eyes she was working. All these pressures came to a head and casey saw no way out, and wanted to leave home, but not the task of caring for her daughter. Casey wanted to be free to go partying and watch movies with her boyfriend and steal people's money and buy lots of clothes.


s. woods   June 1st, 2011 9:50 pm ET

I would say that casey a'. mother and father knew that she had a problem growing up in the same household with them, yet it seems like they were in denial of her problems, they knew that she was a liar way before little caylee came up missing. They knew that she could not hold a job down that is why she had lived in the house with her parents all her life and never had to pay rent, but yet she seemed to get money from somewhere , they were taking care of casey and caylee. Why didn't they encourage her to try and keep a job, get her own place etc, as many young people would have loved to do to get out on thier own. because the parents knew that she was not capable way before this happened. About the duct tape when they found little caylee's remains they said that the tape was over her mouth , how in the world could the tape still be over her mouth when it was just a skeleton, if the tape was taped to the flesh would it have stayed on during the decaying of the body? no, I don't understand that.


Mary   June 1st, 2011 10:24 pm ET

Does anyone remember the Amscot Employee testifying that she looked inside the car and saw a blanket in the back.. She didn't work Sunday but on Monday had the car picked up.
When Cindy Anthoney was asked what was in the back seat she said the car seat with the doll sitting in it Casey's slacks and shoes.
I live in a hot weather area and if we see a car with a car seat our first instinct is has a child been left in the car?? Which if the car seat was there did the Amscot employee mention it. Or just the blanket. So question is where did the blanket go?


Debbie Jones   June 2nd, 2011 12:25 am ET

It must be so difficult for Casey to keep all of those lies straight. Now she can relax because she is now riding on someone elses conjered up lies. She jumped right on that train and is riding it home. Although the story that Casey and her attorneys have come up with, the one thing that keeps nagging me is; something IS very weird about this whole thing. I like proof and reasons why. There are none and probebly will not be any answers. In addition, who is Caylee's father? She looks alot like her uncle Lee.


carol   June 2nd, 2011 8:26 am ET

Lee anthony is afraid of Casey. Ithink that she is holding something over his head..


Mary Traphofner   June 2nd, 2011 11:07 am ET

I've a question rather than a comment. Re: The parking lot where Casey Anthony's car was parked when she ran out of gas. The lady who worked at the Loan company where Casey's car was parked said that before she called the police she walked around the car and looked in the windows. She stated that she saw a blanket in the back seat but when they showed the picture of the contents of the car, I saw no blanket? Any ideas why this has never been mentioned again?


kay   June 2nd, 2011 11:38 am ET

I cannot believe that anyone would believe that Casey's parents would harm Caylee. I hope that Casey is convicted. Who could not wish this after the terrible way her child was killed. I have watched her throughout this investigation and she has guilt written all over her. I pray each day for her to get the electric chair.


Michele Chatfield   June 2nd, 2011 1:25 pm ET

I have heard reports that Casey used Xanax to drug her daughter. Does anybody else think it's strange that the name or nickname of the made up nanny is " Zanny" the nanny??? I mean really......Casey stated that this imaginary person has taken care of her daughter for almost 2 years, when asked "where is Caylee?" she says with ""ZANNY" the nanny. maybe this poor child was drugged since she was an infant. I just think its kinda strange that the name of the drug and the imaginary persons name is very similar!!! Just a thought!!


Alberta   June 2nd, 2011 4:14 pm ET

Am I the only one that thinks the brother LEE might be the childs father..Cay for casey and Lee the brother..== caylee
That might equal the lie that the father died in an auto accident...Just a thought......


sharon   June 2nd, 2011 4:28 pm ET

Thats not bad, good thinking....That Xanax to Zanny the nanny.... She thinks this a big joke.....All she thinks about it to get away with this crime...To kill her own child just so you can go and party....Casey will burn for ever for this


Karen Ickes   June 2nd, 2011 7:03 pm ET

I don't believe for a second that Casey was sexually abused by either George or Lee. At one point she said that she was sexually abused by her brother Lee and she said "I think my Dad may have done things to me too." Now I hear that the Dad sexually abused her since she was 8 and Lee tried to touch her breasts when she was older. So which is it? And if she had been sexually abused by Lee and George, why, when she was finally safe from them, her being behind bars, did she say how much she loved Lee and only wanted to talk to Lee and talked to her dad on those videos in a nicer manner than she talked to her Mom? And if it was an accident, which I don't believe either, being as self centered and interested only in partying and whatever guy she can get to pay attention to her, would she be willing to spend 3 years in prison and not give up her Dad if he was the one who found Caylee drowned? You'd think she'd give him up and say he made her lie and get him behind bars so she'd be safe? She's a Sociopath and a pathological liar and I think she's as guilty of premeditated murder and does deserve the Death Penalty. And she is not, not guilty due to insanity. If she was insane she would not know right from wrong and therefore wouldn't lie as she didn't know it was wrong.


Cathy Esss   June 2nd, 2011 8:28 pm ET

I worry that Casey's pathologic lying, self-absorption, and detachment may make her so unlikable that the jury will reach a verdict based upon their dislike of her, rather than the evidence. Although the judge will instruct otherwise, I think it will be very difficult for the jurors to set it aside.

She is innocent until and unless the evidence proves otherwise, not because her lies and narcissism make her unlikable. Lying, stealing, partying, and perceived lack of concern for her missing daughter do NOT
mean she killed Caylee.


Dee Cantwell   June 3rd, 2011 2:19 am ET

I think Judge Belvin is a fair and just judge.
He has a very hard job keeping everyone in line to
prevent a mistrial.
God bless him and the jurors for their patience
thruouhout this trial.


Evon   June 3rd, 2011 7:01 am ET

I have been following this case for 2yrs or so, and it surprises me the way some people are willing to believe the sexual abuse story and that George hid the baby's body. Casey has lied about everything, big elaborate stories and we are suddenly suppose to believe her that she was abused? Come on, Even Dr Drew is confused and says people who have been extremely abused wouldn't act like this, more so Casey is a Sociopath. It is so irratating to see Casey shaking her head during testimony like a child denying they did anything wrong. I just hope they get justice for Caylee, and if Casey does get off. She will have to eventually have to justify her self to a bigger judge


Evon   June 3rd, 2011 7:28 am ET

Also I would like to answer the person who was asking about the blanket in the back seat, it was taken for evidence and someone was asking about if she drowned wouldn't their be water in the lungs, unfortunately, when they found Caylee the only thing left was a small skeleton so they really don't know what she died from. The Prosecution thinks she suffucated due to the duct tape with the heart sticker stuck to the front of it (which was found in Casey's house heart sticker's) over her mouth and nose. Poor child may she rest in peace.


patti oneal   June 3rd, 2011 8:11 am ET

i wonder if casey got the drowning pool idea from the detective who was talking to her on the tapes,about having to talk with moms who ran over their child... drowned in a pool,etc.
when baez crossed examined he asked the detective about that statement but never mentioned the pool drowning part..


Robert M. Mock Sr.   June 3rd, 2011 10:33 am ET

Watch and listen closely to what Casey says in her jail discussion with her father. She slipped and said that she "loved" (past tense) Caylee and then immediately corrected the statement.


Toni   June 3rd, 2011 12:08 pm ET

Has it ever occured to the defense to just tell the truth or don't they know? This is the justice system and the Truth will prevail – and It would have set her free! I am glad her mom and and dad and lee are not letting the love bring them all down – don't lose sight this is about Caylee (not Casey – she snuffed the life out of a precious innocent life that was everything – she is/was not).


Toni   June 3rd, 2011 12:18 pm ET

@ Cathy Ess – she is lying for a reason.. She was lying from the beginning and lied so much she started to believe her own lies, her family believed her lies until the little girl went missing and then they put truth first. Casey didn't plan on that and all of a sudden with police involved, she was not as good of a liar as she thought she was, it is unveiling before everyone's eyes. Truth always rises to the top, but she has not even told the truth to her attorney, how do you represent someone like her – a lot of guessing, and that is why it isn't working – she will not speak truth. Where do the lies end and the truth begin?


Sue   June 3rd, 2011 1:08 pm ET

Zanax could have been the babysitter, and duct tape to keep her quite until Casey was done partying. When Casey came back to the car, Caylee was dead. Seems like partying was more important than her child. Blanket was gone because it was used to wrap her dead body in.


Phyllis Meyer   June 3rd, 2011 1:32 pm ET

JUST FOR THOUGHT.....I have two things bothering me......

l. By not working, how could she ever pay Zanny $400. weekly$$$$

and

2, My personal feel on this , is Caylee spent alot of time in the trunk under sleeping aids while "mommy played."


amy n.   June 3rd, 2011 3:40 pm ET

the prosecution will lose because they have a terrible lawyer. she is th most boring long, long winded, slow moving person i've ever seen. She has zero charisma and isn't engaging the jury at all. casey's lawyer is quite the opposite. The jury is falling asleep, somehow she is making what is arguable one of the most infamous, dramatic, murder cases in 10 years a colossal bore. I predict a marsha clark/ johnny cochran type conclusion. entirely because of her poor skills in the courtroom. of course casey is guilty, and at the very least a malignant narcissist (if not a sociopath), but she will get off on manslaughter. death penalty is out because the LAWYER for the prosecution is so colossally bad in the courtroom. the case is rock solid, the lawyer is going to blow it


Susan Perea   June 3rd, 2011 3:49 pm ET

I've noticed in the jailhouse recorded visits with her family, as well as in the police interview, how often Casey prefaces her sentences with the words and phrases "trust me", "honestly", "to tell the truth", "to be honest", etc. Then she goes on to say things that we now know for sure are lies.


CL Rake Lundborg   June 3rd, 2011 3:54 pm ET

The investigator is not tedious explaining evidence and I wish commentators would not make that perception like a blanket statement. That is the way they present the news. Just what they feel is important


Christine   June 3rd, 2011 4:07 pm ET

Question: Was Baez compelled to present some sort of a cause of death that involved Casey? Could he not have just said "We don't know what happened, and the State has to prove Casey was involved." It seems to me that by linking Casey to the death, or at least the coverup, he's given the prosecution much more rope to hang her with than if they had to prove her involvement beyond the car.

Thanks for the coverage!


D.M. Fox   June 3rd, 2011 4:19 pm ET

Bodies emit urine and fecal matter when they die. I understand a pool must be drained (by law) when someone has died in it. a) was that done? b) was the pool water checked for the child's emissions?

Regarding the blanket from the car: Was it tested for signs of chlorine from the pool? Were there any hairs in/on blanket which would show signs of chlorine from pool, if in fact she actually drowned first?


cheryl faile   June 3rd, 2011 4:20 pm ET

does anyone recall when casey told her mother someone took her child while at the park and that she couldn't do anything because of the people she (zanny) was connected with.

IF her dad had found callee in the pool he would have done cpr and told her (casey) to call 911 to report it, NOT BURY HER.


cheryl faile   June 3rd, 2011 4:32 pm ET

we need judges like melvin perry in sc at least he demands proof in his cases before allowing evidence in


Arthur Sills   June 3rd, 2011 4:57 pm ET

Missed question? Casey"s interview at Universal came in the wake of a rare admission by her - that she had lied about having a job there.
Since she had said she had dropped Caylee off with "Zanny" before going to work - why didn"t detective ask her WHERE she went after leaving Caylee off ...In fact, Casey would have needed to explain her movements over two years without a job.
A theory: Time was catching up to Casey ...as Caylee grew older, she could have told grandparents about babysitters - or worse, the lack of any sitter named Zanny ever.


conalita   June 3rd, 2011 5:37 pm ET

I hope that the jury is seeing what we are seeing, Casey is evil in the purist form. She has no remorse what so ever, evi evil.


Holly   June 3rd, 2011 6:22 pm ET

I hope she does get put to death anyone who can kill thier own child desevres it. And if some odd case that the jurors don't agree I hope that they put her in a maximum security prison in general population because i'm sure that there are plenty of mothers that would love to see and hold thier babies just one more time. I bet when they get done w her she will wish they did put her to death


teresa Bug   June 3rd, 2011 9:34 pm ET

6-3-2011, as survivor i want to know was casey rountinely ignored deprived of water to the point where she drank liquid plant fertilizer and her own urine this was an abuse child controlling pattern of behavior , bruises welts are the most frequent evidence found on the face torso buttocks back or thighs of an abuse, some children that is physical sexual abuse could cause serious emotional or mental disorder in some cases without any harm evident in the childs behavior or condition was casey punished such as tortured or confinement of a child in a dark closet as a child , as a child i went throught all the extreme abuse of a child , the pain the suffering the memories from the age of 3 to 13 casey does not show any signs of being abuse from what i can see i will tell you what i think happen to her as a little child she did something bad and got away with it and it felt good this now was her secret as she grew up continue getting better starting to loved it she can now do no wrong in anybody eyes never ever got caught befor the evil in her went to far now she have to pay the piper my thoughts i just finish writing my book on incest a true real story about a little girl was sexual abuse by 4 family members in a small town not yet publish thank you so much teresa bug


Bette Carlson   June 3rd, 2011 11:16 pm ET

No one I have heard mentioned: 1) The 2nd cell phone someone bought for her with numbers all over Fla. What is that for? (video talk with Lee Anthony which seemed to be cryptic.) 2) How happy and laughing she was after the last video was shown today (Friday.) It appeared that Jose patted her on the back a couple of times? Was it because they felt the video helped their case? Mentioned wanting to mend the relationship with dad which could be taken many ways.

I was brutally abused by one brother, another abused me for years and father tried and suggested many times. I was never comfortable at all around any of them. Only at a certain point did I tell family about the violent rape (brother was like in 30s and I was 16) but family never believed me and I have been an outcast since (all those people are dead now.) I kep that a secret but was not a big liar, I told the truth too much about everything else. But everyone has a different reaction and way of handling the emotions. Mine was alcohol but finally got sober (34 years) and got some intense anger workshop therapy which freed me of anger. I will probably always have some self esteem issues but I'm sure able to function better now.


Bette Carlson   June 3rd, 2011 11:20 pm ET

I think IF Casey accidentally killed daughter with choloform or something that her entire persona afterwards and in jail was to keep up an appearance that nothing was wrong and she would be devastated when Caylee was "found." I think the tape was to make it appear she was kidnapped. Possible that the people whose numbers she had on her other cell phone were not the type you want to mess with. If so they may be the ones responsible and she cannot tell. Oh I know, far fetched but possible.......


Bette Carlson   June 3rd, 2011 11:24 pm ET

Casey was so insistent on getting her boyfriend's phone number and I believe Cindy finally gave it to her. Did he blank out her computer at her request? I doubt it but it's just a thought.


AWH   June 4th, 2011 3:53 am ET

I read on another site that casey, caylee and her father was the only ones home the day little caylee died. The father came and asked casey where were caylee? They began to look for her and could not find her in the house. The father goes to look outside then looks in the pool, sees li caylee and starts to holla! Casey comes out and see whats going on, then she also begins to scream and holla. As this is going on, casey's father starts calling her a unfit mother and told her that mother will never forgive her. I wonder was li caylee hanging out with grandpa and grandpa went outside and was doing something to or was getting something out of the pool. He hooked the letter to the pool and either cleaned something out of the pool or had to go and get something he needed to assist himself. Either li caylee went out there with him or he left the door open and she wondered out herself. I think he forgot she was out there or did not realize that she was out there. Once he came back to the pool, the baby was in the pool and was already deceased. Because he was the one who took li caylee outside or left the door open, he panniked and went to ask casey about the childs whereabouts. It was his intention make casey feel that she was in fault. This is what may have caused casey to go berserk with the lies. Her father has helped her with some of these lies. The father did not have to be at work until 3, the mother moved the ladder when she got home. Casey would have needed some help to clean and put everything back in place the way her mom left it. Casey said herself that she and father had a broken relationship until they took her to jail. That girls head is all messed up! All this lying and partying is to keep reality out of her head. It seems to me that the father nor the brother likes her lawyer, because he has gotten too close to the truth. I really don't think the mother knows, but she feels something isn't right. The dad is also manipulating his son. Why else would he act like he do towards her lawyer. Somethings not right about casey's father. Well just another speculation


AWH   June 4th, 2011 4:43 am ET

To further: How many parents have a toddler living with them as well as the childs parent. How many times has that toddler left there parent room to come see/be with grandma or papa. Some of them will get up and walk around the house and nobody's up. They will do this while their parent is still asleep. This does not make you an unfit mother.


linda   June 4th, 2011 9:31 am ET

has any one watched the jail house taps where George Anthony was talking to casey when she was in jail the first time he said i wish i would have been a better granfather that is talking as pasttence that means he knew the baby was all ready dead need to watch the taps carefully i do believe it has been a cover up with every one in the family George was a cop he knows how to cover up things like that and never thought it wouldn't go this far so now he has to play along with it so he won't be in trouble and Cindy knew it to it is a act with them all when cindy ask casey where the baby was she said to to cindy are you kiding me so i take it as cindy already knew as well and did you her cindy tell casey the reward was all ready up to 225.000 thats about all cindy really care's about Cindy has already made a lot of money off of the baby and even went to new york to about a book and Lee was there as well with his lawyer on the book they all out to make money off the poor baby i am a grand mother if was with my grand child every day like cindy and George i would been out the very day looking for my daughter and grand baby Cindy told about her taking the baby swiming on the 15th i think it happened that day and they are all covering it up cindy even told her coworks on the 17 th some one had been in the pool and left the ladder up ..they had to act like they didn't know any thing to cover there ass and all the smell from the car could have been put there after George and Cindy got the car every one that was in the car when Casey had it no one could smell any thing something not right if it did happen like casey said George would have had the baby and put the baby some where to hide her and George knows all about the hair band i just pray GOD will get the truth out Casey had to lie because her parent's tought her how to lie cause they lie yes i know it is wrong but casey was scared of them and what would happen so she did what she was told and now George and Cindy is just worried about them self and all the money the will make off of the poor baby it is just a front Cindy has to keep the front up because she said she has become disable from all this hummmmmmmmmmmmm money again and they know now casey can get them for wrongfull death every one need to keep a open mind and watch the taps better thanks and pray God will show the truth


Toni   June 4th, 2011 10:02 am ET

Thank you HLN for airing all this with your hard work. I feel like I am watching the little boy/girl who cried wolf – with all the lies and evidence at this point – it is of no return... just gonna be more lies to walk her free and IF she does.... well we all remember what happened to OJ and Vandersloot. Don't we?


Toni   June 4th, 2011 10:06 am ET

And the last tape was after she talked to Baez and they came up with her defense – she is trying at this point to set up her father up with Her sick defense.


Toni   June 4th, 2011 10:16 am ET

Check the Jesse Grund interview. He states clearly the change in Casey. She was fine. When she started hanging with the people that did not have children and Caylee was in the way, she changed. He states it very clearly the personality change – amazing! – it had nothing to do with abuse, just a change of life that she wanted. A drugging of Caylee where she did whatever a little too much and Caylee was going to be able to start "telling" on Casey. She killed her on purpose and she thought she was a really good liar, it blew up in her face and now she wants to blame everyone else because Jose found some loophole to get her off and told her how to act. All lies.


Rech   June 4th, 2011 10:27 am ET

Who is the father of Caylee Anthony? No comment on this that I have heard...did he have a roll in this childs life????


Lori   June 4th, 2011 1:03 pm ET

Caysey is a narcissist. A psychopath loves to hear themselves speak and this she does, truth or not. The lies that she has told throughout should catch up to here. She killed this baby and reason being....she was jealous of her oarents with her. She would have never conceded and given them Caylee. She despises her mother enough to kill her child, who was an obstacle for what she thought would be a good life without her. Her reality is her web of lies and she is just psych enough to believe what she says to be true. They need to send her to death for taking this childs innocent life. If we do not begin to hold mothers accountable and always make excuses from them, what makes us different from them? Nothing!


Deb   June 4th, 2011 7:55 pm ET

Do we know what Caylee referred to Cindy as? I heard George mention CeCe but listen closely to the "You are my sunshine" video. It sounds like Caylee is singing "Please don't take Nan's sunshine away". If Casey is guilty – the motive could have been her wanting freedom to party in addition to the hate she appears to have for her mother.


Kathy   June 5th, 2011 9:29 am ET

I do not see how Casey can be found not guilty, the judge is allowing the prosecution to bring everything in and is denying the defence everything chance they get to try to defend her, the state objects to just about every ? the defense ask and he sustains the ? so the defense can not ask the ? he is trying to ask!


Kathy   June 5th, 2011 9:56 am ET

What a beautiful little girl she was! I do not know what is in the mind of her mother, but i do think she is out of her mind, no one in there right mind would commit such an act ! Something is just not right with her!
I do not know what to believe except no one in there right mind could have killed that little girl and act like nothing happened, there has to be more to this , i do believe there is someone else involved, she had to have talked to someone about what happened. I do not think she drowned in the pool or that George helped cover it up! It is as if she is with it one min and really some were else the next! I just do not know what to think! I feel so bad for the family what a terrible thing to have to go through loosing your grand child and knowing your daughter may be the one who killed her and that they may loose her as well, how does one go on knowing that? Sad,Sad, Sad,!


rileyann   June 5th, 2011 12:05 pm ET

It's a tangled web, but the truth is in there somehow! In the extensive case documents and video evidence, there was a poster about chlorophorm at the club they all frequented, and the boyfriend-at-the-time, on testimony, dismissed it as "I thought it was funny." I think there could be something to the "drug use" idea of chlorophorm. I also think, because on the jailhouse videotapes, casey demanded her boyfriend, tony's phone number, the first person she wanted to call, is that he is in someway implicated and knows what really happened. Then, it could have been an accidental death, if drugs were involved; but what about the syringe found at the scene of the remains? And the leaves under the car? Why wouldn't george, a former detective, know enough, at the towing place, to call police after he smelled the odor? We haven't yet heard from the forensic experts on the condition of the body. Casey was under stress having to leave her parents' home, with caylee? Also, the defense should present a pschologist's report on her state of mind, when first arrested and now. All those non existent people. Lies are common in personality disorders. I think she was abused; suffered from PTDD and DID, and the alters, or other personalities manifested outside in her imaginary world to protect her in her time of high anxiety.
But that's just an amateur detective's take!!


Mary   June 5th, 2011 4:45 pm ET

To answer about the blanket I inquired previously about. When Caylee was found she was wrapped in a Winnie the Pooh blanket that had matched her room. The question I was asking was if the Amscot employee saw the blanket in the car before the car was towed away, how was it not in the car when it reached the Anthony Home? Did Casey come back to the car when the store was closed. The employee said she did not work the Sunday and had the car towed Monday. Some how that blanket got out of the car. If there was really one in there . The employee did not testify to seeing a car seat or doll. Did I miss something some where or is this strange? I have been watching since this whole event started in 2008.


tina   June 6th, 2011 7:47 am ET

"DEATH" is to easy!!!!!!!!!! dont put her to death ...paper her jail cell with tht lil angels pics ....let her look at her pics for the rest of her living days cuz she knows wht she did...tht baby is in such a better place now shes with jesus and shes safe now!!!!


T T   June 6th, 2011 12:44 pm ET

Casey is a liar-when listening to Cindy's 3rd 911 call, Casey then is on the phone talking and said she talked to the nanny and she let her talk to Caylee briefly. That does not make sense if she was dead that she could talk on the phone to her.


scott   June 6th, 2011 12:45 pm ET

I find it hard to believe that the expert that works at a body farm was knocked back two feet from the smell that came out of the can with the carpet sample in it !! I would think he would be used to strong smells of decomposition.


Sally LaVoie   June 6th, 2011 1:17 pm ET

Can the jury find her guilty of second degree murder even though the prosecution is seeking First degree murder


Darlene Allen   June 6th, 2011 3:01 pm ET

I think it is chilling the way Casey Anthony hatefully glares at the woman prosecuter whenever she comes near where she is sitting. Check it out.


Dove26   June 6th, 2011 3:14 pm ET

This story is heartbreaking, I keep thinking about the baby how could her own mother harm her. I think those thinking Zanny is a reference to a drug may be right own. For anyone who has given birth you know you would lay down your life for your child. I feel so badly for the poor grandmother..I have a precious granddaughter, I can't imagine the horry of knowing your child killed your grandchild.
I think she did it and di it out of spite and to be able to party. I hope she knows there is a special party roomin hell for the lieks of her.


rich   June 6th, 2011 4:34 pm ET

Reasonable doubt? Chlorine and methane gas form chloroform. Kid drowns in pool. Casey freaks out. Body in 120 degree trunk for a couple days till she figured out what to do. Are body has methane gas in fecal matter that is why farts light on fire! Decomposing and methane mixing with chlorine would give levels of chloroform. Why didn't Baez say that the body was in the trunk and get his client off with involuntary manslaughter? Maybe he is getting to it?


rich   June 6th, 2011 4:41 pm ET

I think that girl is troubled but not a killer


Terri Linsday   June 6th, 2011 4:44 pm ET

Arpad Vass's testimony was very compelling, understandable..my question as to testing the air is this not something like that's done every day in every city as far as the particulates in the air such as environmental air quality
Living in Phoenix I hear about this every day.
Thank you
Terri from Phoenix


Curious   June 6th, 2011 4:50 pm ET

Don't understand why defense is saying Caylee was not in trunk. They've admitted she drowned. How else would she be transported to dump site. Don't understand their strategy. What is their strategy on this?


debbie tallini   June 6th, 2011 5:35 pm ET

Jose should be doing traffic court lawering he is very immature acting i donot see any professioal character in him I believe he is doing this for a name for him self Casey killed her daughter putting her family through what she saying is awful thanks


Anna   June 6th, 2011 6:56 pm ET

Mother is a nurse and probably had chloraform at home. She taped the mouth probably after death I am a nurse and when someone dies in the hospital we tie their extremities which are flaccid and thier mouth to prevent leakage of fluids from the mouth. She oversedated to put her to sleep like some people give their kids benadryl.


Lorna   June 6th, 2011 7:09 pm ET

Back years ago when the case was first on Nancy Grace it was reported that phone records showed that there was one day in which Casey tried numerous times to call her mom and dad and brother but never got through. I suspect something had happened that day. I would love to find out the date of those calls in the time line.


Judith R. Day   June 6th, 2011 8:18 pm ET

The point that everyone keeps missing or they aren’t aware of is that here in the state of Florida it is against the law for parents (or anyone taking care of a child) to leave a child in a car unattended. If caught at leaving a child alone in a car, that child can be taken away from the parents. I believe there is also a penalty for the adult such as a jail sentence or fine.

So I think that Casey Anthony was drugging Caylee and putting her in the truck of the car to keep her out of sight and keep her quiet so she could go out and party at night.

Casey Anthony maybe placed the duct tape over Caylee’s mouth to keep her quiet if she woke up. And Casey put the duct tape on Caylee in a hurry and didn’t notice that she had put it over her nose, as well as her mouth. Then when Casey returned to the car, she found Caylee dead.

No matter how a person looks at this Casey was involved in criminal activity. Whether it be drugging her own child, accidently murdering Caylee or hiding her corpse. All of which are criminal offenses.


maria   June 7th, 2011 9:11 am ET

where did she get the trash at? it looked like a package of bolga in the trash she found to cover the smell, I hard in the jail interview she did not eat bolga, ??? if she wanted some smelling trash, she needed to get some (wet) noddles, rice, potatoes,veggies she would of known this if she cooked. dose anyone know where the trash came from, didn't her folks have trash pick up, I do give her credit, she looks good for a person with no Heart.


G.A.G.   June 7th, 2011 11:10 am ET

This trial is a fashion show for this woman... Different clothing and color shirts. Showing off her hair. There are no 'painful reactions' when so many witnesses talk about that beautiful child, there is no emotions, no tears at the time that they show her daughter's pictures. What was the reason for her to have killed this little one? Is there any existing one? I can not believe for her to have done it only to keep her quite! I think that besides Caylee she has destroyed Cindy. You can see her suffering every day. What does her father abuse of her for 'so many years' has to do with what she did to Caylee? I've heard a lot of poor explanations. For me, the truth of what really happened has not been brought up yet during this trial. I do not agree with the defense excuses, I do not agree with the baby's drowning. It seems that since it happened in 2008, whatever it was the death/killing causes Baez has been building this case and many times it does not make sense.
God will make it for all of us to get to know what really happened.
drowing' in the pool'.


Tom Cicala   June 7th, 2011 12:48 pm ET

Chloroform used in Crystal Meth Recipe meth is said to have a very bad odor and clorophorm is used to make meth as I understand . is it not conceivable that the clorophorm was for making meth that would explain the levels and likelihood of the child suffocating while in the unventilated car . I understand she lied but would this be an accident and man slaughter . so many will not be truthful because drugs are involved. and therefore suffer a worse fate with conviction . this is a horrible tragedy . however we must know the truth and i find that more likely than intentional murder by clorophorm


Jim   June 7th, 2011 12:52 pm ET

It's obvious that Vass is giving a self serving testimony. Remember the backbone of the American Judical System; "Innocent until proven guilty"! This young lady may be guilty of a very heinous crime, but she should not be condemed until all the evidence is in, let's let the system work and not continue to make assumptions. People have already found her guilty and would execute her tomorrow if they could!


CBN   June 7th, 2011 1:41 pm ET

why when someone gets in a lot of trouble they go saying they were sexually abused when they were younger,does this excuse murder ?and if this child drowned why has this went this far i dont know if she killed her daughter or not but she is looking pretty guilty


Dove26   June 7th, 2011 3:36 pm ET

Wonder how the denfense will respond to the simple fact that every science every method of criminal investigation had to have its first time before a jury. This just happens to be the one that will hopefully convict his heartles client. I know there has to be a special please in hell for mothers who harm their children. When a young child see their mother they are suppose to feel happy and safe. Can anyone imagine the horror for a small child to know this is your mother doing this horrible thing to you. May you spend eternity in Hell miss Anthony


Wendy   June 7th, 2011 5:34 pm ET

Ok folks! Just think about this. I can't seem to get past the fact that Jose loco starts out with saying that it was a terrible accident and she drowned in the family pool...She couldn't come forward due to the family's lies and denial. I was just wondering if Caylee "accidentally" drown what was the reasoning for the duct tape over her mouth AND nose. Was it to make sure she would not be able to breathe in the event she slightly woke up???? That is MURDER!!!! I haven't heard much about the duct tape. That is Key. If it was an accident what was the purpose????? She is GUILTY


a grandmother   June 7th, 2011 6:25 pm ET

she reminds me of ted bundy no remorse,and acts as if shes the lawyer,even here everyone tip toes around her.has anyone thought about the fact that cindy had a sore neck before caley disapeared wonder if casey used clorform on her and tried to break her neck while she was sleeping.i think shes very dangerous,because she thinks she can get by with anything,


mary   June 7th, 2011 6:52 pm ET

the evidence from the cadaver dog is the best yet. For anyone who for a moment doubts the intelligence of the dog and the handler you have obviously never been exposed to the intelligence of a German Shepard. The dog does his job without bias


Choppinmama   June 7th, 2011 7:03 pm ET

Casey and her mom had a huge fight Father's Day night, Casey took Caylee and stormed out. She spent the next night, and every night for the next 30 days with her boyfriend – and without Caylee. Caylee was killed that night, put in the trunk of the car and stayed there until Casey went back to her house. She backed her car into the garage, took Caylee's body out, laid her on the ground in the back yard, then put her in the laundry sack.

No information heard yet about the Winnie the Pooh blankie she was found in. Was it taken from the house after that Sunday night? Her poor little favorite doll, and her toothbrushes found in her backpack in the car show that Caylee didn't need them anymore.

Casey and friends used to bury dead animals in the area Caylee was found. The police even unearthed at least 2 animal remains searching for Caylee. Casey's phone records will put her in that area for some time.

Also, cadaver dogs will only hit on decomposing bodies, or decomp odors, not hit on the area where a freshly drowned body was laid.
Caylee did not drowned.

And why would anyone have to Google "shovel"?


Choppinmama   June 7th, 2011 7:13 pm ET

It's also bugging me that everyone is saying Casey is like she is due to poor parenting. How would you handle a daughter that dropped out of high school, got pregnant and never told the truth about who the babydaddy was, stole substantial amounts of $$$$ from her parents, grandparents and friends? George referred to "tough love" in one of the jail interviews. They were trying to straighten this little liar out.

I'm just waiting for Baez to mention George's suicide attempt. Nancy Grace will have a "bombshell" to talk about that night for sure.


susan   June 7th, 2011 9:04 pm ET

does anyone remember the cinnamon brown story where the father molested his daughter and also his new wifes sister he convinced them his wife was trying to kill him and his only way to live was to kill her first he got the daughter to kill her they gave her A punch of pills gave her A gun told her to shoot and then get in the dog house.he told her since she was A minor she would get off easy, but it didnt work that way and after A couple of years went by he had got ex wifes sister pregnant collected alot of money from insurance and didnt bother with her ,so she finalli told police this was in Orange County California. yes Casey is A liar,she has acted terrible for A mother who lost A child but isnt it odd to bring her dad into it unless its true. why would she just drag him in for no reason she already has said she was there when Caylee drowned and she has got to know just because you were molested wouldnt get you off for murder. she could have come up with anything else GA is involved somehow, Also maybe Cyndy was jealous of Casey alot of women get this way with the child their husband molested it also seemed like she wanted to be Caylee.s mom she could probally go out whenever she wanted with Cyndy as A built in babysitter so she had freedom.


Sandy   June 8th, 2011 11:29 am ET

Ditto Choppinmama! That's exactly what I believe. I also believe the trash in the trunk is great evidence. I think the items with barcodes in the trash can provide a timeline of Casey's or, if the parents are lying, participation in concealing the murder. Everything Casey says has a half truth and half lied. Each lie needs 1/2 of a truth and 1/2 a lie. That is the basis of a lie. Why was that trash in the trunk, if she was staying with her boyfriend? Is it possible Casey put the trash in the trunk to justify the death smell in the trunk? Or did Casey finally confess to George the baby was dead and George put the trash in the car? George is involved in some way. I believe his involvement is in covering up the crime and not covering up an accident. Was the trash purchased at the parents grocery store? Was the trash purchased by Casey, and if so, when and where?

It is interesting how these sociopaths move on with their lives and lie over and over and over. She will never tell the truth. The trash in the trunk and the dogs are the best witnesses.


Syllogism101   June 8th, 2011 12:13 pm ET

DEAD BODY IN TRUNK HELPS DEFENSE!

Syllogism

Major Premise: Casey researched Chloroform, neck breaking, missing children.

Minor Premise: Casey rode around for a couple of days with a dead body in the trunk of her car.(Oops! forgot to research "How to get rid of a body")

Conclusion 1: Casey Anthony did not plan this death. (Not 1st degree murder)

OR

Conclusion 2: Casey Anthony belongs on “World’s Dumbest”. (Off with her head!)

I was very interested in the cadaver dogs hitting on the back yard...These dogs are awesome if anyone has ever had the priviledge to watch one in action.

It didn't take a cadaver dog to hit on the trunk of the car....many people who have smelled death have testified to the odor.

I think Casey showed up when the parents were at work with the body, and was going to bury Caylee in the back yard, and then found no really good place to bury her body....and then "threw" the poor little girl in the woods....maybe she buried little Caylee there, and with the wet weather, the body came to the surface............

This is obvious, Casey killed Caylee with cholorform, maybe accidentally, taped her mouth shut, put a heart sticker on her little mouth, wrapped her in a Winnie the Pooh blanket, and dumped her in the woods....

Sick-sick-sick.

when they found the car and brought it home, they said the car seat was in the back seat with the doll in it. early testimony from her friends was that they went partying and shopping in her car and sat in the back seat. there was no car seat. who out it back in the car?


Me   June 8th, 2011 3:39 pm ET

Lawyers want to drag this out to make money .
Put her and her family on the stand ,, ask the logical questions ,, and this case will be over in a week . Waste of taxpayer money .
If a concerned mother's and father's child has died ,, you would think their
emotions and actions would be different .
God will judge her in the end ,, if she did it . Move on HLN news there's more important news going on around the world .


Sandi   June 8th, 2011 4:07 pm ET

I know the computer searches were short, just a matter of seconds...could Casey have printed the pages so she didn't stay on the sites a long time?


Brenda C   June 8th, 2011 5:07 pm ET

I am beginning to believe Casey was going to murder her mother and father as well. Then she gets the house, the money, and her freedom.


bel   June 8th, 2011 5:10 pm ET

Evryone thinks she is guilty the poor girl has no chance!


bel   June 8th, 2011 5:22 pm ET

Its apparent she is a compulsive liar, doesn't make her a murderer! Scientific proof has not shown beyond reasonable doubt the she killed caylee! They have no proof on How Caylee died! Testimonies from forensics have been proved beyond reasonable doubt,all that can be proved is that she is a compulsive liar! Everyone lies! Everyone one states Cindy was an emotional reck on the stands! Could it be becuz she is re-living the loss of Caylee or becuz now she realizes that her 911 call intended to search/find Caylee is now going to possibly kill her daughter and she can't do anything to change it! Not only has she lost her grandchild, she may loss her daughter thru her testimony! Ask urself, testimonies state everyone smelled dead body but yet 4 officers including lead detective went out to investigate a 911 call for a missing child and smell of a dead body as heard in 911 call, yet none of them called CSI!


Margie   June 8th, 2011 7:10 pm ET

With all the lies and different possibilities being thrown around I fear that cassy will be aquited. perhaps we are not giving this girl enough credit. I would not put it past her to have planned it all out just the way its going. with all the lies and than the last mintue confession cliaming it was an accident. All carefully planned to cause confussion and raise uncertainty in the minds of the jurors.
I for one can not get past this little girl gone missing for 31 days and all her Mother does is PARTY? Come on really? It is almost as if this child never had any real meaning in Cassy life at all. She was clearly forgotten by this women the mintue she died . If it had not been for the Grandmother Maybe she would of gotten away with it.


Sandy Kervin   June 8th, 2011 7:48 pm ET

What is the likelyhood that seven humans and two canines detected human decomposition either in the Anthony's back yard or in the Sunfire that Casey drove? Too many experts to ignore. The canines are incapable of lying, even if you dont believe the humans.


Nina Williamson   June 8th, 2011 9:36 pm ET

Could Casey been planning on killing her parents? That would explain the computor searchs better. Chloroform them, break their necks to make sure? Then Amy could move into their home with Casey? Amy did have moving arrangements made but had to cancel. The tape over caylee's mouth doesn't sound like an accident. When you make up stories sometimes you forget about small details that will get you caught in a lie!!
Thinking out loud in Alabama


Marge Tomalewski   June 9th, 2011 10:37 am ET

I'm confused how Casey's parents did not know she did not work at universal studios...I always saw my kids paystubs laying around the house, and what about filing taxes?....how did she explain that?
her dad was a cop and she kept this hidden from them?
how is that possible?


Miriam   June 9th, 2011 11:01 am ET

There was some discussion about whether Casey is on medication and I recall hearing on tv that she definitely is not. That said, I am appalled at how intently she is watching the crime scene photos which will show pictures of her daughter's skull and what is left of her body. I would never want to see pictures of my own children in that condition. She is in a class by herself when it comes to criminals.


sharon   June 9th, 2011 11:17 am ET

I agree...I think Casey was eventually going to kill her mom. It's obvious she has a deep seated hatred for her mom....hence all the crying when her mom was on the stand....Casey thought her mom was 'digging' Casey's grave with Mom's testimony.

I also wonder if the reason Casey killed Caylee was to get back at her mom....she had a huge fight with her mom, and that day, Caylee dies.

This is one twisted lady.

It is so obvious there was a dead body in Caseys car.....the strand of decomposed hair, smell, air samples, etc.... and that the body was there for a while......

Hey, also, the idiot lawyer Casey has ....he said that Caylee drowned while under Casey's care.....and the "accident" was covered up....Isn't that still manslaughter? Where is his proof?


Pat   June 9th, 2011 2:19 pm ET

If I were an the Jury and listened to all the lies of Casey Anthony,I would not believe anything she says including her abuse excuse.I have watched this from day one and there is no dought in my mind that she killed her daughter for selfish reasons.Her demeneor when Caylee went missing is unbelievable. She is a cruel selfish,monster.I have listened to all the evidence so far and even though Mr. Baes tries to desclaim all of it I believe that the truth will prevail. I also believe that Caycee AND her attorney has a thing going on. Remember all the days that she spent with him befoe she was indicted???????She could seduce him along with all the others,she probably has his head spinningin every direction. She is so good at that.!!!!!!!


Amber   June 9th, 2011 2:44 pm ET

As a young mother I can "somewhat" relate to this case. I feel that when she met her boyfriend she forgot she had a daughter. I did the same thing and lied as much as possible to my Mom to make sure I could have "the party lifestyle". I feel she was trying to impress her boyfriend, she did anything and everything to make sure he "liked" her. It didn't take long for me to snap out of that stage and I am never away from my children and straightened my life out but Casey however is a cold-blooded person! If I was on trial, watching my child's remains I would break down...a little weeping here and there shows her insensitivity. Her Father did nothing to her, if she truly had some heart she would come clean for her own daughter and quit blaming everyone else. A mother who don't report there child missing even if she was abused is not a mother and that alone should send her to prison. Every person can make there own decisions and has choices if we all accused everyone for our life problems everyone would be innocent.


Margaret Markin   June 9th, 2011 3:11 pm ET

If, as the defense speculates, Caylee drowned in the pool, why would there be duct tape on her face/head?


angelrae   June 9th, 2011 4:14 pm ET

Casey is ill!? She should be! She is a MONSTER for doing what she did to that beautiful little girl! I think she is upset ONLY because she has ruined HER OWN LIFE! and that is what she is thinking about while she sits in that courtrooom!


Nina Williamson   June 9th, 2011 4:20 pm ET

Surely, by now you would think the jury can see that with all the evidence against Casey, Hosea is trying to shoot down any evidence that Caylee even died. Somewhere some of this has to be real? I don't buy into Casey being really upset? She acts like she just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar!! I think Hosea should change his tactics and plead insanity?


Rita Whitaker   June 9th, 2011 4:25 pm ET

Okay, Casey did not cry or mourn for her daughter the day her daughter supposedly drowned in the pool. She was at Blockbuster a few hours after the supposed drowning. Why in the world would we believe that she is crying for Caylee upon hearing about Cylee's remains? Casey is a master manipulator. I do not read anything into what she does in the courtroom. She is very aware that the jury is watching her and she will do whatever she can to get them to feel she is the victim. This day was suppose to be about Cayle. Casy stole that from her. She is heartless.


Pearl Wright   June 9th, 2011 4:28 pm ET

I think that the tears and illness may be connected to the realization that the truth is coming out and the jury is taking it all in. Why would duct tape be on a drowning victim? I think that the Anthony family was made aware by the defense of the outrageous accusations that were going to be made in an effort to develop doubt in the mind of at least one juror (that is all it takes) and save Casey's life. I hope that the jurors can remain focused on the real victim and the fact that many are watching that may be as ill as it appears this defendent is.


Karen Lea Plant   June 9th, 2011 5:12 pm ET

I object to the full view of Casey Anthony's pretense of empathy or regret, while crime scene photos are shown. I would rather watch ANYTHING else (including the crime scene photos.). As a retired police detective sergeant, 27 years) with a Master's degree in criminal behavior, I would much rather observe court reactions of persons with sincere empathy for the victim.
Watching a full screne of her face is MUCH more disgusting and repugnant as anything you could televise. Photos of the victim would be more appropriate. You are catering to Casey's narcissistic garner desire to be the center of attention.


nancy   June 9th, 2011 5:57 pm ET

the pants caseys mom washed can thay be tested or let the dogs see if casey carred the body


sue ford   June 9th, 2011 6:08 pm ET

Casey Anthony makes me sick. She is a lying, murderer. Will celebrate the day she is found guilty for killing that little child. I agree that the family is dysfunctional, but I do not believe George or Lee molested her. She is a psychopath. It is usually easy to spot a liar of such magnitude. I can't believe her friends hadn't caught on to her sooner. Such grandiose ideas about a "nanny"! I think she murdered the child because she was getting old enough to tell everyone how she really spent her days-not with a "nanny", but with the scum that birthed her. Rot in Hell Casey Anthony! Wish I was on the jury!


brenda   June 9th, 2011 6:54 pm ET

First the Anthonys moved to Florida because Cindy wanted to be by her family...and you want to believe your children until you catch them lying. They bought that car and it was in their name not hers..Casey was having a meal ticket (Cacy) .They loved that little girl and got her everything...Casey lied about the father of Cacy (died in car crash) she had sex with so many guys she didn't know herself...Her father and brother didn't do anything to her,she made that up when she hear of someone in the jail said that it happen to them, so her mind took that over for another story.She killed that child when she got mad at Cindy left the house and left her trunk be the babysitter with choroform . She put her in the spot where she played has a child and even buried pets there.She probably took her home in a bag the white laundry bag and sit her down on the ground to dig ,but to hard to mover the playhouse and was scared that someone would come home, so she left and dumped her body after it got dark..Then she left the car ....I hope the jury will beable to see the big picture...


T. E. Barnes   June 9th, 2011 7:02 pm ET

I believe that Casey put Caylee's body in the trunk of her car after she killed her. (Out of sight, out of mind.) As the summer grew hotter, the smell did as well. She approached the car one day and could smell the odor of decomp from outside the car and inside the car the odor was overwhelming . She drove the short distance to where Caylee's body was found and dumped her so she could continue to use her car. I think she thought the smell would dissipate. When it didn't she parked her car and walked away from it.


Paula   June 9th, 2011 8:40 pm ET

No one has commented on the fact that Casey continually shook her head during her defense attorney's opening statement as he spoke of the sexual abuse by her father. In my opinion, that was subconscious body language clearly stating that those statements were FALSE. When I observed her head shaking, I knew immediately that what he was saying was untrue.


Sandy Kervin   June 9th, 2011 10:21 pm ET

I am very emotional myself about seeing the photos of little Caylee–obviously more emotional than Casey. I saw Casey dabbing a kleenex at her nose but never saw any tears. Boy she is a good actress. How could you stay and listen to the graphic details of how your child died? This child is not even mine and I am having alot of difficulty listening. Lethal injection is too good for this monster. Her mother and father couldnt even stay and listen.


Ellen J. Shore   June 10th, 2011 10:09 am ET

I have been watching the trial everyday, and when they showed pictures of the remails Casey Anthony got ill...what I want to know is why wasn't she crying and ill for the thirty one day that she didn't know where her daughter was. I think she is crying because she is guilty and relizes she been caught. Can't lye your way out of this one.
She deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison and think of that beautiful child every day.. Death would be to good for her.


bonnie in illinois   June 10th, 2011 10:19 am ET

the sad thing 4 casey is the truth is now hitting her square in the eyes bcuz she left baby caylees body in one piece in the woods per her burial and now she has to listen to how animals had torn her apart I do not believe these actions are 4 baby caylee. I believe it is 4 poor me casey I think shes the best actress in the world!! Not 2 mention the best LIAR!!!!! It is disgusting how she carries on and everything should be about poor casey Its a good thing I am not on the jury because her tears would not effect my decision that she is guilty!!!!!


Terry Ca   June 10th, 2011 10:23 am ET

It looks like Casey is taking cues from her attorney to her left. As soon as she leans over Anthony start her crying act. With the prosecution going through crime scene photos, Casey probably wishes she were back at Fusion dancing and having fun, while her little daughter was rotting just down the street from her parents.


sharon   June 10th, 2011 10:55 am ET

I was so depressed just hearing the description of poor little Caylee's body....
I just can't imagine someone being so cruel as Casey....how in the world she can ever live with herself, I will never know. It should haunt her until the day she dies....which is what I sure hope happens.

And the idiot lawyer, Baez, has been reprimanded several times by the jail officers to quit hugging and touching Casey. They say that it highly unusual for phyical contact between a lawyer and his client....hmmm.

I think he is as sick as she is.


Jackie   June 10th, 2011 11:08 am ET

To bad casey crying over the bones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she didnt throw them there the animals would not be chewing them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her tears are so fake. Hose may need to coach her a little more!!!!!!!!!!! The hosts on trutv better remember how that baby got there.. I only feel sorry for the ANTHONEYS. Excluding her. And for the viewers who has to watch this MONSTER CASEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only pray se rots like little CAYLEE did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


beverrl madden   June 10th, 2011 11:24 am ET

My opinion of this is that when this child was put in this area it had to be known that these remains would be savaged by animals. therefor i think caseys reaction to these pictures today is not for her daughter but for the fact that she has been discovered .if it where one of my children or grandchildren THANK GOD ITS NOT i know i would be so histerical and i would be trembling so bad that anyone that is watching me could see from a great distance .i have been watching her reaction and i see no sign of any of this in her all i see is her crying .I am also sure that if her mother CINDY where able to see these photos you could see this reaction in her.This is so sad that her mother CINDY is living this nightmare not only has she had to live it for the time kayle came up missing she is still haveing to live it everyday for the past three years.I also didnt like cindys attiude at the beginning but my heart goes out to this lady she is the one that has been tramatised by all of this.i feel that casey is not a child a sexual abuse but that she is a child that has all her life been spoiled and given her way and sorry to say this presious little child took some of her attention and this is what lead up to her being where she is today.R.I.P.precious kayle you deserved so much more than this


GW   June 10th, 2011 12:20 pm ET

Ok Guys,I understand that Miss Anthony is upset right now.
But why did she not cry when the detective brought up the fact about what may be happing to her daughters body,when he was trying to get answers about where is was at.
I seen NO tears then!
GW


christine Kipp   June 10th, 2011 12:21 pm ET

Casey is a spoiled girl who wanted to spend more time with her buds and boyfriend. I think it was an accident that went horribly bad. Speculations about George and others seem ludicrous to me. Also, some of the weird ideas from the news "experts" is hilarious. Buck up you guys and get more sensible please. Are some of you really buying in to the Defense arguments.


M. Greer   June 10th, 2011 12:52 pm ET

She is a multiple!!!!...that thing she does with her hand up to her face...personality changes right then...The real Casey does not surface to often..today when she cried...probably the real deal there...but when the hands went up...she was gone ready for lunch...she is mentally insane...evil has her mind...watch the body language it is not hard to tell when one personality takes over...She is Zanny the Nanny when things are so painful your mind cannot handle them this is the result,,men have abused her alcohol and drugs probably played a part..but her parents were not the abusers they spoiled her ..but she allowed men to abuse her.very painful abuse her mind could not handle..such a travesty...


M   June 10th, 2011 1:01 pm ET

I do not believe this was premeditated – but I believe she is guilty of
murdering her daughter. Life without parole.....

Her tears – anyone would cry after hearing this testimony – esp the
mother – but that doesn't mean she isn't guilty – Lunch break – how can anyone eat after this morning – if she has an appetite –that would amaze me – too bad reporters can't check on that. I would be nausious!!!!


Jay   June 10th, 2011 1:08 pm ET

Maybe Casey has Schizophrenia and can't destinguish if she is Zenaida Gonzales and that would explain how she describe her stories withn such detail because its in her head


morgan freeman   June 10th, 2011 1:15 pm ET

I liken watching your most interesting trials to watching a prize fight on tv with terrible reception...you see the basics, you get to see a couple of good shots, and witness the final outcome. But that's the equivalent of sacrilage (sp?) for a tru fan to have to endure. You miss the K.O. shots! The immersion into the experience! What's really the point after that? If you won't air it – POST IT! Your tru fans will appreciate it & stay loyal.


ARyan   June 10th, 2011 1:20 pm ET

I think she is crying for herself. Maybe she isn't as smart as she thought??
Does anyone remember the leaves and dirt found under her car! Do these leaves and dirt match the leaves under little Caylee's remains?


CD   June 10th, 2011 1:39 pm ET

I want to know what mascara she uses, doesn't run or smear with her "uncontrollable" crying. Also, I have cried before as I am sure everyone has and my eyes are red and swollen shut , but not hers, she is wide eyed and clear...simply amazing.


bel   June 10th, 2011 1:58 pm ET

If u have been watching trail from the beginning then u would all know that prosecutiom don't have a strong case so they focus on her lies! If a person is trying to cover up something, they r going to lie! Maybe her compulsive lying was becuz she was convinced that she would go down for manslaughter, She was a young girl who believed what she was told especially by her father, he was in law enforcement! Forensics DO NOT prove beyond reasonable doubt! Cloroform could be active due to household items, as testified by experts, the smell of decomp body, was ignored by law officers, when called out to investigate a missing child and the smell of death, Test from experts should no signs of DNA or Blood in car, Hair sample of decomp body, 1 hair of many and it wasn't presented in the courtroom, instead they showed poster boards of comparison between the decomp hair and normal hair but NO actual hair, some experts testified that odor of cholorform was overwhelming, yet another testified that it was consistant with amount of cloroform that would be present with some household products! Cadavar Dog; There is obvious proof that cadavar dog have been inconstant at times!Would U have cadavar dogs determine ur faith if u were in the same shoes! Do ya'll believe that innocent people have been convicted/put to death! Everyone is so focus on the lies that u ignore everything else! Prosecutors can't even say how caylee died! Zanny the Nanny don't exist? Why is there a zenaida Gonzaleson Nancy Grace, who once was at the sawgrass apartmentes state that her life has been turned upside down,Ms. Gonzales stated she and her children are threatened but yet she didn't exist! Let's not forget Mr. Kronker, meter reader, 911 case were made Aug 12 and 13th by Mr. Kroker explaining something round in a trash bag in the wooded area and officers didn't find her remains yet they find them in Dec in the same wooded area! Did any investigate Mr. Kronker who found Caylee remains and was claiming reward money, Who's to say Mr. Kronker didn't kill Caylee, held on to her remains to collect reward, obviously u can't get reward without the body! Did anyone investigate Zenaida Gonzales, who I have seen in reports but yet she didn't exist! The FACT is NO ONE KNOWS HOW CAYLEE DIED or WHO DISPOSED OF HER REMAINS! NO ONE INCLUDING MYSELF HAS PROOF, Comments are made everyones OPINIONS!


Christina G, in California   June 10th, 2011 3:04 pm ET

My comment is more of a question as well. I have been watching the Casey Anthony case from the start and the #1 thing I am wondering other than if she is Guilty or not is do you think she has people from her extended defense team watching the tv coverage just like us and reporting back to the Defense? The reason I say this is when the correspondents were talking about how "Stowick she looked" and how that might look bad in front of the jury, she came back then patting her eyes with tissues. Then a few days later someone commented about how they didn't believe the tears were "Real" and when court goes back into session she stops. It's like the Defense Attorneys are watching the television commentary live on their laptops or they have someone watching it for them . Just something to think about! Things that make you go huummmm.


edward   June 10th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

She is guilty as hell.She never tried to look for real criminal while partying.No one had her car when the car got it's bad BO inside and left by a dumpster with a garbage bag inside!Her "tears" are all timed.Her mother's call to police in hysteria is what a real worried mother's reaction would be.She is the cause of that girl's demise and she deserves to starve in the forest while animals disperse her remains!!


Triscuit   June 10th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

This person is a monster. She has no feeling for her child, or her family.
I hope that she is found guilty and spends the rest of her life in prison where she belongs!


Kathryn   June 10th, 2011 3:49 pm ET

Casey Anthony should have moved to Hollywood to become an actress. She certainly would have been a better actress than the pathetic mother she turned out to be.
I don't buy her fake tears and illness for a minute. She'll have plenty of time to cry when she is put away for good and they throw the key away.


Pam   June 10th, 2011 4:20 pm ET

In my opinion, Casey Anthony used chloroform to knock Caylee and put the duct tape on her, put her in a garbage bag in the back of her car while she went and partied (for who knows how long....maybe days or weeks). When she came back Caylee was dead and the car smelled so bad that she put a bunch of garbage in the car to blame the smell on that and then took Caylee and dumped her and left the car. She is a narcissistic sociopath and cares only for herself and didn't deserve that precious little girl. When she got "sick" yesterday during the trial, she probably was sick thinking about all of the mounting evidence that they are gathering against her and envisioning being put to death for this crime that is so obious that she commited. I hope they give her the death penalty, because she doesn't derseve to live and I hope she burns in HELL.


Barbara Klein   June 10th, 2011 4:30 pm ET

I have alot of questions about the casey Anthony case but I';; just say one . If there was duct tape on Caley 's mouth then there should be DNA on it because ducyt tape will pull anythin up such as" skin" and skin is always shedding it's layers so can't they do a Dna on the tape of the skin that was left behind on the tape to find out how long the tape was on?


Jean   June 10th, 2011 7:02 pm ET

I noticed today during Caseys trial that she was all smiles talking to her lawyers when the jury was not present but turned the water works on when they came back in. Hummm – one twisted girl. Guilty.


stephanie   June 10th, 2011 7:47 pm ET

I think Casey is guilty. If she did not kill her child then why did it take her 31 days to report her missing? If it was an accident she would have called 9-11, therefore she must have killed Caylee and was able to live her life fine while her daughter was missing. I can even keep up with the amount of lies this women produces. I think it is disgusting how she threw her whole family under the bus when they were all by her side for so long. If her father raped her that doesn't mean she would kill her kid. Why are we only hearing about the rape eligations now that she is fighting for her life? There are plenty of women who are raped and don't hurt their children they protect them, if he did rape her why did she leave Caylee with him? I'm sick of her and her lawyer, her aligator tears are for herself and that fact that she might be going to jail or death row, if sentecnes jose should have to go right next to her.


Nina Williamson   June 10th, 2011 9:51 pm ET

For the non believers of cadiver dogs there would be thousands of bodys never found without them !!! If it was a family member of mine I would welcome them with open arms ! The dogs only backed up what human noses already knew. Yes, I have smelled decomposeing bodies and want forget the smell. There was a decomposed body in Casey's car. They say Caylee drowned in the pool, if that were true why didn't she say where "they" put Caylee's body? This is still more of her lies or she would tell the whole story!!!

Thinking out loud in Alabama


Ro   June 11th, 2011 1:13 am ET

A couple of thoughts: 1) I think when Casey needed a sitter and didn't have one, she would knock out Caylee with Zanax or chloroform and put her in the truck with her mouth taped. This was so no one would see a child in the car alone and call the cops, OR she possibly could have gotten out herself; and the tape was so no one would hear her crying/screaming. 2) If Roy Cronk did this to collect the money, then tell me how did he know this skeleton was Caylee in the first place. I don't blame him for asking for the reward, cause if he didn't I'm sure no one else would have remembered to give it to him. 3) Why would George possibly be involved knowing that he too could be included in a cover-up, and make the deicision that he's going to spend every last dime he has (and probably a lot of debt) to do this. Plus, I cannot see him throwing away his granddaughter away like garbage in a trash bag!
4) If it was an accident, I certainly wouldn't spend 3 years of my life in jail rotting away...REALLY!!! I hope she does take the stand so I can shake my head at her next set of lies...


debbie   June 11th, 2011 10:35 am ET

FIrst I too have been following this case for 3 yrs- whta I want to state is how in the beginning of trial some of her friends and mother were mentioning how Casey was a great loving mom- Lets be honest here
Noone really knows what goes on behind closed doors- O know many mothers who on the outside in front of people are all protective, loving nake sure kids are fed, clean ect and behind closed doors are abusive physically and mentally- I put on peolple to show she was a good mommy is comletely rediciulous- Of course she wouldnt show anything but love for Cayllee because she is a liar and a good actress

I am hoping she is found guilty because to watch her smugness while people are talking about her I find disgracefull. Her dabbing of eyes, nose with ehr perfectly folded tissues is bad acting- Jose is also a narcisist- He just became a lawyer and BAM he is on a high profile case wont let the veteran lawyers examine witness and looks like a baby having a tantrum when jodge doesnt rule in his favor

I think Casey has a form of MUNCHAUSEN by PROXY in as much as now her daughter is gone she gets all the attention and espcially after the 31 days everyone was poor casey, now its poor casey her dad and brotehr molested her, poor casey her lady attorney is hiugging her protecting her from the bad pics I am so frustrated with this woman and her whole defense team with the exception of Chaney Mason who is doing what he can to give his client a fair chance

I have morw to say but I will stop for now


susanne   June 11th, 2011 10:45 am ET

Casey's and when mom indicated that she couldn't locate her daughter and granddaughter for a month and when she located her daughter Casey her granddaughter was gone. Where was Casey for that month because prior it seemed Casey lived at home with Mom and Dad?


Kim   June 11th, 2011 10:51 am ET

Oh my gosh, some of these comments are ridiculous. She may not get murder 1, but she definitely should go down for aggravated manslaughter. Dr. G. is absolutely right, no child should have duct tape placed over their mouth for any reason. Anyone knows that there is the possibility of a child dying if you place something over their mouth and nose, or give them a drug of any kind when it isn't medically necessary, which means this was murder. I don't know why Casey killed Caylee, but she did! Don't forget, these jurors have to find her guilty beyond a REASONABLE doubt. There has been nothing REASONABLY doubtful about any of the evidence thus far, although I know the defense hasn't had their turn yet. What could they possibly have? There will be not one shred of evidence that George or Lee did anything to that girl except believe her lies. I think once Caylee was born, Casey wasn't the main attraction anymore, and she couldn't stand that! Even if she goes on the stand, with all of her lies, the jury will not be able to use any of her testimony because she can't be believed. Myself, I think Casey should have a date with a syringe! And Baez, don't even get me started on this CLOWN! He is a joke!


Bonnie Nero   June 11th, 2011 11:27 am ET

since when does duct tape adhere to a wet head and skin?


Avis   June 11th, 2011 11:30 am ET

With all of the lies, was Casey ever given a lie detector test???


Pat   June 11th, 2011 11:33 am ET

Anthony Trial: Did she die from the chloroform and the tape put there later to go along with her plan to make it look like a kidnapping?


efh   June 11th, 2011 11:40 am ET

We all know that Casey is guilty but I have a question about her attorney's opening statement. If she drowned in the swimming pool as they say and that George Anthony covered it up, why were her remains not found with a bathing suit on, why take the time to change her clothes if you were just going to discard her like trash anyway, makes no sense. Nothing makes sense anyway, senseless death, she should have let the grandparents have Caylee. What a beautfil little girl she was!!!!!!!!!!!!!


mary heider   June 11th, 2011 12:08 pm ET

If she drowned in pool, and she had clothes on, would there be (spelling) clorien , what you put in pool found in the clothes. when tested.


rita   June 11th, 2011 12:10 pm ET

why did casey tell her father on the phone, and dont think i would ever think of u as a bad father or grandfather-isnt that something to be suspicous of? iam.i think there is sooo much that will come out of this. i hope so anyway.


ronnie   June 11th, 2011 12:13 pm ET

why isn't more coverage given to the so clled meter reader who claimed to have discovered caylee's body location. 3 times . claimed he found the evidence of a body while readiong meters .Ina swamo woods where there are no meters? I understand the prosecution attorney,. and cops have a one supect mind set and cannot see anything beyound athony even if they were eyewritness to watching another person do the crime. but the media i would think would jump all over the meter reader who all alone reading meters in a swampy woody area where no houses exist found evidence 3 times before he got the cops to look.sound too good to be true(also can;'t be true as he reads it.


ronnie   June 11th, 2011 12:16 pm ET

why is it that nancy grace is so quick to jump down everyone elses's throat with a guility before trial show beaming , and frothing at the nouth like a pilgrim in a witch hunt but when she is tied up as a writness for slandering someone she hides form the camera, and wants, and values the freedom she would take form everyone else. nancy is the kind of southerner we in the south can do without.


dennis richards   June 11th, 2011 12:31 pm ET

Does anyone if the duct tape was tested for chloroform?


Pat Vaughan   June 11th, 2011 12:38 pm ET

The Mystery of where "Zanny the Nanny" came from is from Casey's mind. To figure it out , one has to remember how she bragged about her clever lies. She seems so proud of what a good liar she is. Common street language for the medication XANAX is-: "Zanny ". There for "Zanny the Nanny" is quite clever. I am sure she was quite proud of that one!


Leslie Miller   June 11th, 2011 12:58 pm ET

If the last time that duct tape was used was on the gas can (and no other duct tape of that brand was found in the Anthony home) then is it possible that Casey took that tape with her when she planned Caylee's murder?


Wendy R   June 13th, 2011 1:47 am ET

I noticed that Casey was acting disraught and crying and couldn't look at the monitor when the super imposed picture and skull were being done. But as soon as the jury was outside and judge was deciding to allow the cd to be played- she sat there and watched the cd and never flinched once – but as soon as the jury returned and they said they would allow it to be played for jury she started the sobbing and couldn't look again???? not everyone saw this but it clinched it for sure when she did that!!!


Change   June 13th, 2011 1:49 am ET

I was soo convinced that Casey had planned and murder poor Caylee until today. I watched as they broke down the events with the men she was with. I think she got the idea of chlororform from her BF that posted it on his My Space page. I believe she was using it to put Caylee to sleep and would place her in the truck. The trunk of her car was ZANNY. That's why no one ever saw Zanny and they didn't see Caylee when she was with Zanny either, while her mom was supposedly at work. She was lying about going to work that day cause she had a date and she knew she would be using the chloroform and putting Caylee to sleep in the trunk so she told her she was going to see Zanny. The day she was at blockbuster on June 16th with one of her BF's I think Caylee was in the truck sleeping off the Chloroform. She stayed the night and he wanted to sleep in so he didn't go to school the next day. That's where the problem came in. She left her in the truck in the hot sun sleeping off the drugs that she had given her and she died. This is why she went to the neighbors house on June 17th and asked him for a shovel because she found her baby dead in the trunk. She first buried her in the backyard where the dogs hit. On June 23rd she broke in her fathers garage and stole the duck tape, the plastic bag, the laundry bag and the gas cans. She left her in the car overnight because she wasnt sure where to bury her, thats why on June 24th she wouldnt let her dad in the trunk. By then she was already dead for 6 days. She let that baby sit in her car until June 27th in which she buried her and left the car in that parking lot until it was towed on June 30th. She used the duct tape to make it look like a kidnapping in the event someone found her. She's such a liar and she thinks quick. She felt free because the pressure of having to leave the party's early and having to deal with Caylee was off and she was finally able to be free and she just lived it up. The death was an accident but the fact she doesn't care is just cold and callous. In her heart she was tired of being a mother and this unfortunate incident made it easy for to not have to be.


maria johnson   June 13th, 2011 11:17 am ET

watching the trail today of hair taken from cadavers. all the test they did
i did not see they tested any hair that might have chlorine on them. if she did drown in the pool. would chlorine have different results.


Jane Kessler   June 13th, 2011 12:41 pm ET

Court is out of session until tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) at 1:00 pm

I just love the comments of the "FORMER" defense attorney. The blonde bombshell who knows it all. She about jumped through my TV screen when explaining why she felt the pic of Casey and Caley with the tape over her mouth should not have been shown in evidence. Why not!! If she is so passionate about this case......why didn't she stay on the team? With her aggression I am sure she could open some eyes. Not mine however, I think these attorneys who are on tv think that everyone on the jury is a rocket scientist or else have extreme legal minds. Hummmmm maybe there should be a jury selected wth six legal mindsand six rocket scientists. If not....this case will go on forever.


Sandy Labelle   June 13th, 2011 1:32 pm ET

My take...Casey Anthony was the spoiled youngest child of the Anthony family, but when Casey's daughter was born, little Caylee began to replace Casey in her parents affections....or so it seemed to Casey. After a big fight with her Mom over childcare, Casey killed Caylee out of sheer spite...remember, "I'm a spiteful bitch?" But she did it not only out of jealousy, but because she wanted the same the freedom to run and play without responsibility as always.

Casey Anthony was a spoiled brat, and her parents were utterly blinded to her faults...at least until now.


Sharla inLA.   June 13th, 2011 2:17 pm ET

It really concerns me that people are not careful to listen to the facts before forming a strong opinion.

This could have easily been a case of a child dying in a hot car in the Florida heat and the young, troubled Mother wanted to cover it up. If she did leave the body in the trunk she obviously did not want to part with it immediately or she would have and whoever could have wanted to put tape over her little mouth and nose because they could not stand to think of the bugs getting in there. Stranger things have happened. I just have to really wait and see, but I feel like she may not have really wanted to murder this child. We need to remember no matter how bad it looks we should wait for all the evidence and then go from there, but I prefer to think of "innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt". I hate that prosecutors or defense attorneys are allowed to make up stories and present it as a fact and it could be a lie. That really bothers me.


Sara   June 13th, 2011 4:26 pm ET

It's only obvious that Casey didn't murder her daughter she was a young mother and even though she loved her daughter she also enjoyed the wild life it's only obvious that she was using the chloroform to put caley to sleep while she was out partying I believe she used the duck tape to cover her mouth so as to cover up the evidence


Tom Schumacher   June 13th, 2011 5:55 pm ET

Might as well have a lynch mob and hang her outside the court. Between the commentators and the judge Casey is not getting a fair trial. Between pictures, experiments, and in court rambling comments on the part of the prosecution, hopefully the jury will be able to sort thru all thequestionable evidance and stay with the facts. Casey may or may not be abused but she is definetly mentally ill long before Caley. Based on the procecution over kill with hearsay & highly prejudical evidence I would at worst find her quilty of involantary manslaughter. Any thing else should be overturned on appeal &/or a mistrial.

Marie   June 13th, 2011 6:53 pm ET

I recall a homicide trial where a 10 yr old child was accidently killed by a pedophile who used chloroform to sedate the child while they took pictures of his little body. The victim frequently spent the night at the perp's home as did other children, and the mother of the victim was not aware there was a problem UNTIL her 10 yr old failed to return home on time after a sleep over. It was a sad and tragic story. After listening to Wendy Murphy comment today that there was discovery indicating Casey may have been taking Caylee somewhere late at night for what she (Wendy) surmised was nefarious reasons – the thought popped in my head: "Did Casey subject her little girl to something nefarious enough to subsidize her spending without a bonafide job?" I have been wondering what Casey lived on since she couldn't ask for money from her parents that thought she had a job.... I hope for the sake of little Casey my imagination is on overdrive.


Ron   June 13th, 2011 8:15 pm ET

My first wife has what ever Casey's mental disorder is, She couldn't cry.
Casey is not crying, she's rubbing her eyes to make the outside red,
Check the whites of her eyes. They're not blood-shot like people that produce tears get. Her's are white all the time. She's a liar, just not that good of one.


maryg   June 14th, 2011 12:38 am ET

Debbie, I have thought the same thing about Casey having some form of MUNCHAUSEN by PROXY. Everything is about her. Since the day she has been arrested it's been all about "poor me" from her!
There is not one shred of doubt in my mind that she is a proven liar, thief, and murderer!
If there is some idiot on the jury that buys into her act, then it may be a hung jury. In which case, they will start all over again. But there is no way in hell that there will be 12 people who will fall for her lies and her drama. She's going down, one way or the other.


candy   June 14th, 2011 2:03 pm ET

Today more than ever, Casey Anthony appears to be extremely sedated to me. I see her struggling to keep her eyelids from closing. If this is true, I question the motives of the defense to aid her from showing reactions to evidence during the trial. If she is medicated, is this fair to the jury and the prosecutors? It is my opinion that because of her fake tear-shedding and shaking her head, her attorneys will not put her on the stand. She would not win an Academy Award for lying to the jury as she has to everyone in her life who has cared about her.


Terri   June 14th, 2011 2:09 pm ET

Based on the cross from Def atty to Criminal investigator. He mentioned old letters in the box and one picture was shown with a heart shape sticker. It makes me curious to know who this and the other letters were from and whether the other letters also had stickers placed on them. I had heard from the news that one of her friends indicated they used heart shape stickers when they were younger and maybe the letters are from people she is no longer associated with and this is her way of telling them good bye


Peggi   June 14th, 2011 3:21 pm ET

Anyone who has used stickers of any kind knows that they warp a little when they are exposed to humidity. The sticker may have been a flat sticker that is warped.


Jerry   June 14th, 2011 3:25 pm ET

OK – clearly Casey Anthony is not Mother of the Year – but really....has the state actually proven beyond a reasonable doubt, that she planned to murder little Caylee??? Yes, Casey is responsible for her death...this I truly believe.....but I don't believe that she planned this.....I think she acted selfishly, VERY neglectful and drugged that baby, so she could stay out at night. But why bring her father into this??? Is biaz that arrogant that he can get her off all charges by going this route? I think she would have faired much better to be honest about what happenned (yes I said honest!), and just say that she panicked and was scared so she hid Caylee. Even though I hate the way the defense is going.....THEY didnt have too!! The state does not have enough proof for pre-meditation murder charge


Deborah   June 14th, 2011 3:25 pm ET

I hear the judge constantly tell the Jury to not discuss the case yet they are asking to see another piece of evidence regarding the heart shaped sticker. Doesn't this request indicate that the Jury IS discussing the case even though the Judge has cautioned them against any discussions.

Thank you


Jerry   June 14th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

Wendy R. – YES....I noticed the same thing. I have a feeling that many people noticed this. It was obvious that she was acting for the jury. Her original response to that video (when she is staring at it, angrily) was her REAL response......I feel she's angry because she wants control over knowing what really happenned to little Caylee......and this video gives us a glimpse of the truth. Im not saying she purposely killed Caylee.....I dont think that was her intention.....but I do feel that she acted so recklessly, and selfishly and didnt care enough about her daughters well being, to actually drug her to make her sleep.......and for this she needs to be punished. Hopefully the jury will give the appropriate punishment......


Patricia   June 14th, 2011 3:54 pm ET

If Casey is convicted and it goes to appeal, there should be only ONE good reason for it. That is ineffectiveness of Council. Jose is just TOO green to be handling a case like this. From his absolutely unbelievable opening statements to his cross examinations, this man is really not ready for Prime Time. His theory of this crime really does not hold water. No one had access to that car until it was found and towed but Casey. That smell of death was there as testified to by too many and George was no where near that car until he picked it up at the tow yard. According to George's ex-wife, he is a Good Man. Casey on the other hand is not all there and a very self-centered woman. That poor child was cramping her style and had to go. She didn't want her mother Cindy to have her, because Caylee would probably be a better child than Casey had ever been, so there was only one solution.


Nana L   June 14th, 2011 4:07 pm ET

I was watching some testimony by Cindy Anthony today. They were discussing the duct tape. In the deposition, I thought it was mentiond the tape was black, yet the duct tape on the gas can looks like silver. Any comments or corrections, please?


Toni Paschall   June 14th, 2011 4:31 pm ET

I have lost 2 babies, first baby at birth and second baby after seventeen days.. For atleast the first six months I had nothing to smile about and here Casey was out doing contest and having a good time... Some people DO no deserve children!!!!


Cheryl L Searle   June 14th, 2011 6:05 pm ET

I have been following the trial. What she has done to her parents alone is unexceptable. In the end only our higher power will give her the punishment she deserves.


Terri   June 14th, 2011 6:14 pm ET

Do you think that Bias really helped his client today on cross with the Criminal Investigator. When he questioned her about the letters/stationary in Casey room with the heart shape stickers. His questioning about the stickers basically showed that Casey used them and they were not Calley's. In fact used a picture of a letter she received where a sticker was placed after receiving in the mail. To me he just placed the stickers in Casey's hands.


wendy   June 14th, 2011 7:22 pm ET

If Caylee did drowned in the pool WHY would you wrap duct tape around her head???? WHY ???? That makes NO sense but Casey makes NO sense in ANYTHING she does. What a lier,for years not just the 31 days Caylee was "missing".Some people should NEVER be able to have chilren,she is one of those people.She had no way to take care of Caylee except to sponage off mom / dad or friends.What a beautiful life,lying,stealing,cheating on boyfriend while he was out of town,bars,drinking,house hopping to stay away from mom / dad. She plays the jury with her fake tears and actions,as a mother and grandmother she sickens me and God help me i just want to slap her into reality.I am not to judge others as it says in the bible but we all want to know "WHY the lies",can you tell the truth? Thank you God that Caylee is in YOUR loving care now and is safe and loved . What a movie this will be,no doubt.She is so sick in her head.God help her and her family and friends to heal from the crap she has dealt them all.


Toni   June 14th, 2011 7:44 pm ET

At times I believe she is guilty? But then again the dots doesn't connect? The prosecution does not directly connect Casey to the murder. I'm really sad about this event. I wanted to ask, does the lawyers see what the news reporters discuss? I feel like the media paint her as a psychopath killer. I don't believe she deserves the death penalty because Ive seen many cold cases and they have killer habits and kill several victims. If she is found guilty I pray she finds God and confess TRULY to what really happened. I'm confused, cause the patterns does not interconnect at the beginning connecting her to the crime. I pray Caylee Anthony rest in peace.
One question, why didn't the parents or the father called during the 31 day period Caylee was missing? hmm...
I feel like a Physiologist needs to go on the stand and suggest that Casey needs help...


Pat Kennedy   June 14th, 2011 10:27 pm ET

When Casey picked Amy up at the airport she was in Amy's car .Amy asked her why the duct tape was in her car. I haven't heard this mentioned. Check it out.


Lois   June 15th, 2011 8:39 am ET

I think her parents are lucky to be alive. I think she killed her daughter to get at her parents . . . She is SO obviously guilty!


Nancy   June 15th, 2011 9:35 am ET

Sickening!!! I pray everyday that she just chnages her plea and owns what she did. I watched my 19 year old son go to prison for a drug related crime and couldnt keep it together, cried froma place I didnt know I could cry from, I hope this jury sees through her fake attempt at tears. Just sickening


Doreen day   June 15th, 2011 11:42 am ET

HURRAY for Judge Perry. Looking at the defense while Judge Perry was ruling about the aquittal, the defense was not very happy. Casey acted like she was just there for a traffic violation. Go figure. ill be suprised to see what they will have up their sleeves tomorrow.


Patty   June 15th, 2011 12:08 pm ET

The car seat and Caylee's favorite doll were in the Sunfire in July when George retrieved it via a notice from the tow company. Why would over a 31 day period this sweet baby's seat and "favorite doll" be in this car all this time. As a parent, grandparent, and/or NANNY I'm certain knows, a 2 year old that has a favorite doll, toy, blanket anything they are attached to would be sent or given to them, especially when being cared for for any length of time.
How did the NANNY travel with Caylee, (Casey said she was at the beach for the weekend, was with NANNY at park (just one of the places she took Caylee, (how did she take her in a vehicle with her car seat??????????
Frankly 31 daYS IN and of itself unreported by a "GOOD MOTHER" is absolutely proof beyond a reasonable doubt for me to convict her to the max...


Sheri Rose   June 15th, 2011 1:04 pm ET

Casey looks angry. Cindy looks devastated as if she is the real mother. Casey I believe killed Caylee by accident but her lack of feelings over her daughter is downright scary. She's a Sociopath.


ruth mills   June 15th, 2011 3:11 pm ET

Has anybody else notice the black eye on
caylee in the one photo, that would be the
left eye. Or does she have a birth mark that
comes and goes ?

Also Casey was checking out the computer of
head trauma, internal injuries, broken neck etc.
since March. that premedation she was killed in
june.

And would the anouncers or other media stars please
strop breaking in during the trail. I want to hear what the
judge,, wittnesses have to say not the announcers.
I have ears I can hear I don't need a third party
to KEEP breaking in during the trial its AGGREVATING
RUTH


Monica   June 15th, 2011 3:58 pm ET

I think Caylee's death was accidental. I believe Casey used cholorform to put Caylee to sleep so she could party and at one point, used too much cholorform for Caylee's small body.

At this late point, would it benefit Casey to stop the lying, lying & lying and just (what a concept) tell the truth.


wishbow   June 16th, 2011 10:37 am ET

How much blood would there be on someone that smothered the victim? I don't know what would occur at that moment but seems to me there would not be any blood at that time....No blood stains???so what...


Viewer   June 16th, 2011 12:02 pm ET

Someone brought up the car being left at Amscot financial place. I agree that is very significant, when the time line shows she was with the x-fiance at that time June 27 – 28th – going to the beach?...and it appears to be the time frame the child went missing from the vehicle. In his statement to police in September, he hands over all kinds of scenarios of how it could be accidental, including to go as far as to say if it was, she would have put the child near the play house. He is also the only one to state she was alive in the background of conversation with Casey on the 24th?? Regardless of changing his story on that one, he was certain in his statement to police (worth listening to the audio) His resigning from police force and yet taking all kinds of detailed notes of times , places , conversations etc in relation to Casey and then recalling it in such detail , months later during interview. in addition, appearing to point fingers at Tony, and come across as being jealous in ways over time. His father says he was devastated when he discovered he was not the father? It is shocking he is not testifying. Would have have hampered both sides theory if he did? However , I read something in regards to the defense wanting his phone records up until 2009 , but he refused through his Atty.? This man was a significant person in the picture at the time and just astounding that he is not part of this trial!


Joy Waters   June 16th, 2011 12:57 pm ET

I'm convinced that Casey is guilty of neglect not abuse caused by her mother throwing her out of the house. Caylee most likely died from the Florida heat while Casey left her unattended. After Casey realizing she was dead, went to her father and the rest is history. I believe the father knew the caller that phoned in 3 times to report the location, possibly that she was found and orchstrated the cover up. As far as other's comments that the Grandmother is so sad "I don't see it"! I believe both Casey's mother and father are involved somehow or at least know the truth. I also believe the molestation is real and Casey's mother feels guilt not sorrow.

Just my opinion

Andy Ash   June 16th, 2011 1:28 pm ET

If I were on the jury and had to listen to someone like the female FBI DNA expert testify, I would be pulling my hair out. The woman CAN NOT answer a question that requires only a "Yes or No" answer. She is always asking to go back so she can explain how smart she is and how much she knows about DNA. Sorry, but I think she should have been left in the lab.....


jodale   June 16th, 2011 3:39 pm ET

looks like you have all made up your mind now ,imthink you should wait till the end. a dr. said that they could have done a test to check for pool water in her system . how come that was never done? they were told about the pool ladder early on. and the FBI lab has screwed up twice so far.


debbie   June 16th, 2011 6:02 pm ET

casey is so guilty and the way they are running this trial is a big joke and the reason casey dosent know who the father is i think she was raped and that is how preagnat.i do not believe for one ninute the father messed with her and the brother being the father of the baby!!thats crazy she is so guilty.


Daniel Santos   June 16th, 2011 6:19 pm ET

I think that Baez asking about the paternty test works well for the state. The jury heard in opening augments that there was sexual abuse, now the FBI confirms that neither George or Lee are the father, the jury is thinking, OK, the FBI looked into it and there is nothing there!!!!


donna noggle   June 16th, 2011 6:46 pm ET

I believe Casey murdered Caylee. She accidently gave her too much chloroform to put her to sleep, put duct tape on her to keep her from yelling and screaming if she woke up in th trunk and found her dead after a night, possibly day after of partying. She left her in the car for a few days, decided to bury her in the back yard, decided it was too risky and tossed her out in the woods, hoping she would never be found with the rain, etc.

The WORST evidence against her is she never, ever told anyone in 31 days what happened to her daughter and with the Zanny story, she is guilty because she kept playing along with her stories and lies.


Kim   June 16th, 2011 7:17 pm ET

Wonder where Casey went every day when she was supposedly working? Didn't her friends think it was weird that she was available all the time? You would think she would have spent time with someone reguarly. I wonder if it was mostly evenings and Caylee stayed with her grandparents? Or it could be motive for murder - if she chloroformed Caylee every time she "went to work," Caylee was getting older and able to communicate more, and maybe that is why she killed her.


Elsie   June 17th, 2011 6:22 am ET

Defense is a joke...........they know that she is guilty.......I am so confused with our justice system. Can they (defense) really make the accusations about Lee and George without having to prove it?
In the beginning I was very hard on Cindy, but I have changed my opinion about her. My heart is breaking for both, George and Cindy.
If Casey is found not guilty, where will she be able to go without getting the crap beat out of her. As a parent myself, I would be nervous to let her back into my home. What will she accuse me of next?????


Christina Edwards   June 17th, 2011 10:01 am ET

It is a natural instinct for even animals to protect their young. I can't wrap my head around any ot this. Regardless of the prosecution not linking Casey to that littler girl's death, for 31 days this psycho pranced around Orlando as if nothing was wrong. Did she think that after a time people would just give up? Did she think that it would just go away? If she is not found guilty she will be free to live her life and possibly have more children!!!! OMG.


Peggy colasante   June 17th, 2011 11:25 am ET

I think it was a women that carried that baby to her "buriel" site. I think her Mother killed her with the duct tape in her bedroom, then put her into the trunk, drove around for however long and then she carried her to her open and exposed grave, if a man carried that heavy body, he would have probably carried her furthur into the woods and would have probably dug a shallow grave. I was wondering why no one has brought up this issue? Isn't a dead body (man or child) very heavy? I think she put the duct tape on her face, to kill her, in her own bedroom, because the heart shaped sticker were present in shapes Just wonder why no one talks about how close to the road the body was.

Guilty or innocent, how can CaseyAnthony eat lunch, I can't, learning all about maggots this morning, she wasn't even paying attention! The thought of maggots feeding on little Caylee almost made me throw up, why didn't it make her sick?


Becky   June 17th, 2011 3:00 pm ET

she did it im sorry if my father melested me there would be no way i would leave my little girl with him. I think that it is a bunch of crap.she sits in the court room and grins laughs and whispers to her attorneys ahe puta her hands at her face so no one can she what she is saying.EVERYONE WE WANT JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE U WILL Always be in eveyone hearts


susan t   June 17th, 2011 4:53 pm ET

Casey Anthony told her boyfriend Tony that Caylee drowned after she had given her too much chloroform to help her sleep, that Caylee had gotten out of bed and went to the pool or something like that. I think Tony said I will help you clean out your trunk but that is it. That if she ever used his name he would tell what she had told him.. Why was Casey so eager to talk to Tony after she was arrested. Why did he have nothing to do with her from that point?. I think that she is using her father to be the scapegoat. She is infatuated w/Tony. I think Casey accidentally killed her child and started lying to cover it up, it got out of hand and from then on she could only tell lie after lie. I don't beleive Baez has a clue. The prosecution may, or not.


Roxana Kop   June 17th, 2011 5:18 pm ET

Today, during cross examination of the bug expert, it became clear to me that the prosecution lawyer is A BULLY!! When Baez cross examined he was respectful of the witnessess. Not the prosecution........!!!!! I don't think the jury will like this bully type cross examining.


sheilars   June 17th, 2011 5:26 pm ET

If Casey was telling her parents she was working all that time, where was she really getting money? Or, if she didn't have money, wouldn't they have noticed? I know she was stealing from her Mom and friends, but I think you would notice if a family member living in your house didn't have steady paychecks when they were supposed to have a good job.


Kevin Mathews   June 18th, 2011 10:22 am ET

Why in the hell doesn't the prosecution move to accept this guy as an expert witness and get on with the testimony before Casey Anthony dies from old age.


Jan   June 18th, 2011 11:29 am ET

Regarding the ante- or post-mortem placement of duct tape: though duct tape is a common, household item, the findings by Dr. Spitz (tape attached to hair) could suggest that the meter man was somehow involved i, at the least, the transport of the 3-yr-old. Has any investigation of the meter man's items (such as duct tape) present in his vehicle, etc. been undertaken (i assume this has been done?)


Debi   June 18th, 2011 1:08 pm ET

The defense looked stupid today. Spitz sounded like an IDIOT. My husband is a biologist and seem more intelligent. I thought the prosecuter mopped the floor with this guy. He could not keep anything straight he contradict himself the whole time and made up as many excuses as casey.


Celeste LaBar   June 18th, 2011 5:29 pm ET

I am thinking that Casey Anthony had this
crime pending in her mind long before she
actually did it. Reason being ... She talked
of bringing Caylee to the nanny, Zanny, since Caylee was just
a baby ... This leads me to believe that
she had premeditated this whole thing...
All along wanting and waiting to get rid
of Caylee .. and blame it on that fake nanny.
It just took longer than she herself expected !!


Wendy Trull, SC   June 18th, 2011 7:34 pm ET

My Grandson is 3 and I couldn't ever imagine not seeing him for 1 week or talking to him on the telephone. I don't think Casey ever felt like a mother but a Big Sister or maybe even a "NANNY" and when she had her all the time and it cramped her new Friday night gig at the club she used something for her to sleep Cloraform or whatever. The story of lies began...I think she blames her parents because this wouldn't have happened if her parent's would have kept Caylee while she partied but the fight between Caycee and her Mom ended that and that's why she looks at them with disgust and blames her Dad and Brother for molesting her at age 7. If you remember she said on a phone conversation that she had noOne but they had each other and this is a way she can break-up their relationship and cause them to question each other silently. Caycee is VERY GOOD at what she does. She is very convincing and probably has her Attorney so confused that he is making a mess. That witness he had today was AWFUL I can't believe the Judge didn't ask him to stop and step down. It was to much and he came to the same conclusion as Dr. G who did an AWESOME job on the stand. I think Casei is dying to get on that stand because she thinks she can cconvince the jury. She might just do that too. I pray the truth will come out!!! This is awful for any family but this family has alot of enabling and denial.


Joy Waters   June 20th, 2011 8:50 am ET

Casey must have spent her time at the vacant apartment she said the nanny lived. How else would she know the apt. number? Most likely used it to leave Caylee at after her mom through her out.


sharon   June 20th, 2011 11:55 am ET

I think the whole defense team of witnesses is a big joke.

C'mon, the "bug expert" is a egotist, who thinks he is really an important person..... he is cocky and self-absorbed. Then laughs when he gets caught.....a pig in a trunk of a car in Nebraska vs little Caylee in a truck in Fla.? Really??

And Spitz? The man may have been really talented at some time in his life, but now he has to be 90, and suffers from mental problems.....I bet if the prosecution asked him his full name, it would take him awhile to remember it....

And then, Baez, putting up a withness that isn't fully vetted.....no complete report and Judge Perry (who, by the way, is doing a fabulous job) saying Baez will be held in Comtent of Court? Wow, old Casey could have done with Baez ..... he will bury her yet.

Idiot....


Mike   June 20th, 2011 2:01 pm ET

Guilty or innocent it scares the heck out of me how our judicial system can be reduced to a handful of people (lawyers & former lawyers) determining the fate of a person accused of capital murder behind closed doors!


diane   June 20th, 2011 2:55 pm ET

point of view: casey anthony cloraformed caylee placed her in the trunk of the car placed duck tape over her mouth so that if she woke up no one would hear her call for help. then didnt know what to do then took the child to the house put caylee in the play house and left her there until she moved her to the wooded area. this is my view of what happend so y r we as tax payers trying to solve something that we already know as TRUTH give her the death PENALTY and lets stop the GAMES!!!!!!!!
SINCERILY
DIANE.


Jim   June 20th, 2011 4:24 pm ET

Idiot's indeed!! You sure are going all out the make Dr. Spitz look bad, I wonder why? It seems the prosecution does not have much evidence to prove their case. Ashton seems to flounder and tries to discredit information from the defense experts. How many cases has he prosecuted? He seems to lose it and acts very unprofessional at times. Maybe Ashton needs more experience before handling cases of this magnitude.


new jersey   June 20th, 2011 5:25 pm ET

i would rather see her spend the rest of her life behind bars so she could spend the rest of her own life thinking about what she did to her own flesh and blood,not to mention the embarrassment she caused her family. shame on you, and god bless that beautiful baby,and family !!!


Karen K from Canada   June 20th, 2011 7:36 pm ET

That stoic look of Casey Anthony's looks to me like she's trying to fight laughing. The day they showed the remains in the garbage dump where she tossed Caylee – when the jury was out and the defence were reviewing the photographs, Casey could not take her eyes away from the screen. No emotion at all. When the jury was in, and they showed the same pictures again, she started her act again, pretending to be upset. How many more people is she going to throw under the bus or ruin. She started with little Caylee, an innocent child she did not want as Caylee cramped her style. Then she threw George and Lee Anthony under the bus with her accusations. Then she ruined the life and reputation of Zenaida Gonzalez. Now she is ruining the life of Vasco Thompson, the ex-con. Yes, he is a convicted criminal and did his time. Now he is mixed up on Casey's web of lies. When the jury is out, she laughs, she flirts and she sticks her chest out in Baez's face!!! There are no words to describe Casey Anthony. God help and keep Caylee's soul.


Roxy   June 20th, 2011 11:48 pm ET

I think Baez and his team are trying everything they can to get the judge to declare a mistrial. They have to know they are up shit creek with their ridiculous stories on Caylee drowning, Casey being sexually abused....blah blah blah. Maybe they thought it sounded like a good story until they said it out loud!


Jim   June 21st, 2011 8:11 am ET

Some members of the "expert panel" wanted to make a big deal of Dr. Spitz saying Casey when he meant to say Caylee. This has happened many times during the trial and nothing was mentioned about it. Wonder why?? It seems that everyone is making an effort to discredit Dr. Spitz. Could it be because he is raising some interesting questions as to the credibility of the investigation. Shoddy work indeed!!


Terry Williamson   June 21st, 2011 10:44 am ET

Just wanted to inform the court that there was a problem with coyotes in the Orlando area at the time of Caylee's death.


Andy A.   June 21st, 2011 1:16 pm ET

One of the most compelling things that I have seen during this trial is Casey Anthony's demeanor in the court room. She has two faces for this trial. One for the times that the jury is in the room and a completely different one when they are not. I don't know if the prosecution would be allowed to show this during their summation at the end of the trial, but side by side videos (one showing zero emotion, zero remorse the occasional fake tear and the other showing her laughing it up with her lawyers) would be a slam dunk for the State


Jim   June 21st, 2011 2:44 pm ET

Ashton's attempt to belittle every defense witness is going to be his downfall. His continuous objections is an indication that he is afraid to let justice prevail. That's a hell of a stradegy for someone that's suppose to have a strong case.


Alice :Ali"   June 21st, 2011 3:21 pm ET

PLEASE....REALLY!!! What is all the hype about the DNA on the Duct tape...why hasn't the prosecution proposed that the adminster of the duct tape could have been wearing plastic gloves???? DUH? Therefore, regardless of the environment or when it was administered would have no bearing on someone using gloves...PL,EASE GET THIS ADDRESSED!!! I watch every second of this trial and have never heard this speculation or even heard it proposed. Thanks so much


Joanna   June 21st, 2011 4:16 pm ET

The only evidence needed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony murdered her daughter is that she did not report her missing for 31 days then lied about who she was with-Zanny the Nanny. That alone should prove her guilt.


Nancy   June 21st, 2011 4:35 pm ET

I cannot even look at Casey. I hope she fries.


gena   June 21st, 2011 4:36 pm ET

I am aghast at the legal system. I will never serve as juror again. It sure seems the judge is very biased. The prosecutor can ask all the questions he wants and the judge will turn down any objections from defense. The prosecutor can even make ! faces and shake his head which I find to be very unprofessional. I find it incredible that a witness has to do a report. So much for discovery and fact finding in trial. These scientists should NOT have to do menial reports and also tetify how redundant. It also gives more ammunition for prosecutors and biased judges to run the how. BTW I feel strongly that IF Casey did murder her daughter she should get the death penalty. Sure looks like we need to do this trial all over again. Why not stop now!


Dove26   June 21st, 2011 4:54 pm ET

Bring in all the experts you want, talk aboutbugs and maggots and flys and how and when weeds grow and what the weather was like in orlando from June through December. Bottom line stop feeling sorry for this cold blooded child killer, I don't care what they say or how they say it, NO MOTHER is out partying dancing drinking laughing after her baby just died via accident or murder. I lost my son when he was 23 and he was shot five times, to this day 9 years later I can watch anything on TV wheere someone is getting shot. When people mention his name or sometimes out of the blue I cry thinking about him. NO way in hell she sits there laughing after pictures of her baby's skull was just on the screen. Some people will believe anything!
WOW


sharon   June 21st, 2011 5:19 pm ET

Ya know....all of us are sure (except for a very, very few) that Casey killed her little daughter, Caylee. And I think we all have a good idea of why....and pretty sure how.

We also know she didn't give a damn about Caylee after she killed her. And, all of her partying after the fact.

All these lawyers are doing is putting up a show for t.v. I wonder if the case wasn't televised, that these games would cease.

We all just want justice for a darling little girl that didn't deserve the treatment she got by the hands of her mother.

I t don't know why Casey didn't just admit that it was an accident, even if she did use chloroform on her, she didn't mean to kill her. By the defense teams version, they admit Casey knew that Caylee was dead (by drowning.....yeh, right) anyway. Just say Casey panicked, and did what she did.....it wouldn't be 1st degree murder, and so much less grief for everyone involved, instead of throwing innocent people under the bus, and making their lives hell.

Why put her parents and Lee through the horrible agony they are going through now?

She must have a really deep-seated hatred of her parents....and what about Lee?

She has got to be really very mentally sick. Scarey, isn't she?


Andrea Bolton   June 21st, 2011 5:23 pm ET

Can Casey receive an new trial if convicted of any of the charges because of the lack of experience in handling the defense case as Baez is so ill-prepared and a terrible questioner?


Ron   June 21st, 2011 5:56 pm ET

this trial is a joke. this is the judge and prosecutor show!!! i think they have forgotten a child is dead and a young sick lady is fighting for her life. the other thing is its hard to follow as every two minutes there is a commercial, several. the prosecutor and judge are full of themselves and want this to be another o j show, remembered!!! in no way is this girl going to get a fair trial. the world is watching a side show but your station is getting good ratings right now anyways, right??? overall this is sad!!! canton, ohio


Lane   June 21st, 2011 6:36 pm ET

In my opinion this was clearly an accident, Casey was still sleeping as young people do like to sleep late and George Anthony was at home, Caylee remembering how she loves to swim in the pool slipped out to the pool and finding the ladder in place climbed up and got into the pool. Casey wakes up and realizing that Caylee was not in bed began to call to her when she did not get an answer she went into the kitchen and asked her father, George if he has seen Casey, they both immediately ran outside, George found her little body in the pool. Casey lost it could not be consoled, after George calmed down after screaming at Casey, he told her to let him handle everything. He told her to leave and just go on with her life. He would handle everything. Casey took off and began a month of sociopathic behavior.
Her mental state hit rock bottom and she became another person living a glamourous life where she would not have to remember the life she had with beautiflul little Caylee that was snatched from her.
Her father is holding back, something is missing.! What??
Another scenario is Casey left Caylee in the car forgetting her, and when whe found her she was dead. She panicked and we can only surmise what happened after that.
Casey's clothes are brought to her by her defense team for the day. She is coached on how to act in court, to remain with a blank face as much as possible, not to give in to emotions that may sway the juror one way or another.
I believe that she should not be found guilty until all the evidence is in then if the juror find her guilty then I will accept it along with thousands of people but until then I will wait and wonder. It would be such a waste to put to death a beautiful young woman if she is really innocent, and suffers a severe mental illness.
These are only my opinions, I watch the trial, as I have watched when the baby came up missing and the remains found. God bless this family. Who am I to Judge?


Don Brooks   June 21st, 2011 6:44 pm ET

There are coyotes in Florida.They are common in areas around the state.


josie   June 21st, 2011 6:59 pm ET

I have watched this case since it began. i also watched the news
from the get go. She's a liar liar, It's unbeliveable that anyone
ould possibly think she was innocent. Her father George got
blessed with a spiteful liar for a daughter. i feel for both parents
in spite of the fact They are totally a dysfunctional mess.

please let this end with true justice. God bless the jury.


Perry Heck   June 21st, 2011 8:40 pm ET

Do the pictures of Casey partying look like a mother that just lost or killed her child or do they look more like a mother that thinks her child is alive and well?


Sharon Roberts from Washington state   June 21st, 2011 9:16 pm ET

After watching this trial go on for weeks. I believe that Casey wanted to go party with her friends, because she missed out on that kind of a life because she got pregnant. So she came up with the idea to chloroform her daughter. I believe she knocked out her daughter with the chloroform and she may have placed the duck tape over the cloth she used with the chloroform to keep Caylee under for hours so she could stay out longer and party, not thinking that this would kill Caylee. I believe that when she returned home she found that Caylee had died from not being able to breath fresh air. She realized that if she was to call 911 she would be going to jail, so she had to invent a story to try and cover up her actions. Its a good thing that I am not on that jury, because I find her guilty already.


Lyle Pianowski   June 22nd, 2011 4:29 am ET

Didn't her ex-boyfriend testify that Casey, Caylee and he were sleeping, then Casey left with Caylee, then came back without her? Did I hear this correctly? Also... IF Caylee drowned, we presume this was at night? Why did she have day clothing on?


Beth Shaffer   June 22nd, 2011 8:48 am ET

They keep questioning investigators about searchs done of the Anthony home. Her mother says that her daughter and grandaughter did not live in the home for 6 months prior to the child's disappearance. Why is there no mention of where she was living and of searchs done at that residence?


Lindsey   June 22nd, 2011 8:56 am ET

It was reported that the jury was trained on the characteristics and behavior of Casey, im curious as to what that means exactly. I am failing to see much emotion other than laughing at the experts and crying when she believes tears are necessary, Regardless, anything other than the death penalty is ludacris!


sandy   June 22nd, 2011 10:50 am ET

I am a counselor who actually worked with sexual abuse victims, families, and the perpetrators for over 30 years. I have published books and articles, and Casey's sexualized behavior, and disassociation with her daughter's "accidental death", can be indicative of someone who was abused. It would be a huge mistake to rule out the defenses "story" without first listening to all the testimony.
Also, I have followed this case for years, and am totally disgusted with Mr Ashton's sarcastic behavior and egocentric behavior. If Casey is found innocent because of his behavior, instead of the testimony,it will be something he will have to live with. I think he and Nancy Grace should team up. Sunny Hostin is the only professional who seems to be looking at both sides. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?


Marilyn Samson Boulder, CO   June 22nd, 2011 11:19 am ET

I wish everyone of you would look up Sociopathy- -you would then see Casey Anthony exactly. Sociopaths are born that way – not made!
The ABUSE EXUSE! I understand her defense team are trying to save her worthless "being" – but the fairytales they are weaving is just that – - a FAIRYTALE
To blame her parents, who loved that child so lovingly is a travesty!!
A Sociopath has no emotion, or empathy – my Irish Grandmother would say 'She was born without a soul'!! BUT sociopaths emulate an emotion when they see it will be helpful.
Let's weed through all the forensics and concentrate on the victim – The little girl who is gone, because her mother WANTED her "gone"!
Bless the poor Anthony's who had to raise a sociopath – it must have been Hell!! All the extraneous crap i.e. stupid witnesses who want their 15 minutes of fame is nonsense.
I hope if the jury has half a brain cell they will ignore the superfluous bull! Maybe they'll get rid of the death penalty. Life in prison is appropriate for the Sociopath!!!


Jim   June 22nd, 2011 12:16 pm ET

It seems that everyone has a theory and opinion on this case and most are against Miss Anthony. Some people have already found her guilty and would execute her today if they could. The actions of Miss Anthony seem bizarre to say the least. It makes me wonder about the way she was raised, people are usually the product of their upbringing. She had to learn some of these things from her parents.


Lane   June 22nd, 2011 1:08 pm ET

I don't think that the whole story has been told. There is missing time that no one has accounted for. From the day of the 16th of June, 2008, until the Caylee's remains were found. We need to know where the body was. I don't think the trunk of the car for 3 days, then dispose of in the woods. That makes no sense. Of course a lot of things about this case makes no sense to me. There are so many unanswered questions. We may never find out the truth.


Phyllis   June 22nd, 2011 1:36 pm ET

Jim, yes I do believe that what happens when you grow up can shape who you are. But EVERYONE has free will. The path that anyone chooses is eventually that persons. She obviously spent hours with friends, and according to teacher, psycologists, and etc, friends and peers have more to affect a person than a parent ever could. Ask the parents of a teenager who has committed suicide. I believe that any person, at any given time, is capable of anything. Including, being responsible, knowing who the father of your child is, and being selfish. She is an adult, Caylee will never have the chance. 911 is but a phone call away. I have 3 children, 9 grandchildren, and they are far from perfect, but if one of my children murdered someone, It wouldn't be because I put a knife in their hands at 3 years old. I pray for them all. Casey and God know the real truth. We never will. Caylee didn't ask to be born, and she sure didn't ask to be killed.


Judy McLendon   June 22nd, 2011 1:43 pm ET

The last time Mrs. Casey was on the stand she said when they got the car back that she had to use a whole can of febreeze and still couldn't get the smell out of the car don't u think that shows some cleaning was trying to be done before she called 911


Mike & Janet Bourgeois   June 22nd, 2011 1:50 pm ET

If I remember in the jailhouse video's with Casey's Mom & Dad, din't she say that Caylee wasn't that far from them? When you see where they found her remains??? HELLO!!!


leslie   June 22nd, 2011 2:00 pm ET

i wonder why the defense brought up the bottle of gatorade that was found very close to caylee's body? it had traces of chloroform in it. i was hoping that mr. ashton would pounce pounce on that and ask the witness if it was normal to find a gatorade bottle with chloroform in it. what do you think is the defense's reason for bringing it in?


Edie   June 22nd, 2011 2:27 pm ET

Does anyone remember way in the beginning when she said she called 'Nanny" to check on Caylee and the police wanted to check her cell phone and she said she lost the Sim card (or whatever it is called) when she transferred the card to another phone..she lies even when she doesn't have to..she is mentally ill..was she ever examined for that..she is enjoying all these 'experts' being called in to testify..it keeps her in the limelight even tho it is a negative light..can't imagine anyone really liking her..she was a cameleon (?) changing for the situation at hand..I hope she burns in damn HELL..


Heike Sanford   June 22nd, 2011 4:02 pm ET

I would like to know what Casey Anthony was like as a child or teenager. I have never heard anything said about her childhood. I am wondering whether she's always lied, whether she was diagnosed with any mental illness.


teddy cantoni   June 22nd, 2011 4:22 pm ET

in the casey anthony trial if prosicution and defense goes 50 50 the prosecution has the tape the bag and the smell in the trunk but the biggest thing is that common sense will prevail


Jim   June 22nd, 2011 4:35 pm ET

Sandy, THANK YOU!!!! My thoughts exactly. It seems most people, including the "expert panel" have already made up their minds. Let the system work the way it it designed to work and the truth may actually be found.


Kay   June 22nd, 2011 4:47 pm ET

I have watched the trial all day, every day, and want to know why no one brings up the fact that Casey smiles, giggles, winks etc. way more than she pretends to cry!!!


mike sumrall mission beach ca,   June 22nd, 2011 4:49 pm ET

the reason the lab techs found testosterone in the syringe is because she got the needle from a person that used it to shoot up anabolic steroids and the left over test was left in the needle.. maybe the person that is on the steroids has something to do with it who gave her the needle ?


Thomas   June 22nd, 2011 5:51 pm ET

Baez was demonstrating gamemanship from the opening statements. Taking Several statements made by Casey and trying to get the whole court diverted right away, knowing they could not be proved and only cause reasonable doubt. Stating to the court these dishonest statements made and how they were linked with the cover up of her daughters death.. That did in my opinion damged her credibility even more if that is possible. With Baez useing this as a trump card ,but being used very poorly and at the wrong time. I recognized this play at 1st and I am suprised Judge Perry didnt speak up sooner. Casey is a pathological liar and when this case runs its course, if I were Baez I would not put her on the stand. Out of desperation would she introduce a new confabulation? Maybe Baez can see she wouldnt be able to take the pressure. The way the case appears to be going one of the attorneys if not both will probably be reviewed by F.-bar once the case is over. And it wouldnt suprise me to see Casey wind up with life in prison. With the attorneys, their witnesses and the way their testimony is structured, I dont believe the poor jurors will be able to unanimously agree on much once the testimony and final statements are completed. She will not be aquitted that is evident.


Dianna   June 22nd, 2011 5:57 pm ET

I noticed something strange and it seems like no one has paid any attention to it – when the clips of jail conversations between the brother Lee and Casey didn't anyone notice his evasive comments to her when he stated something along the lines of what may have been said or what was originally the plan may not be the same now things may have changed and he just showed agreement. It was a conversation that struck me at the time as very suspicious me as to trying to relay info without coming straigtht out as you do in jail conversations for cover ups etc. yet noone seemed to take note of the effortand messages Lee was trying to convey I think it is worth taking note of along with the defenses accusations of cover up and in lignht of this new mistresses testimony Yes Casey is a liar but isn't it possible that George is as well and very good at it as most incestual fathers are, children react in various ways and obviously she has been spoiled and abused both I have a friend that was molested by her father and even into adulthodd continued sleeping with him because that was the only thing that really made her feel connected to her father's love it is a very difficult thing when a child is molested by her own father as there is so much contradiction between wanting his love and not wanting to be touched inappropriately obviously the child stil loves their father and craves his love so it is not unusual that she would tell her father what a wonderful dad he was but if you note at one point she did plead with him can't you just be a father for once rather than a police officer there is the problem in their relationship she wanted a father's love not a policeman for a father. As for her actions after she wanted to hide from the pain and put it out of her mind, she was in denial and didn't want to face it yet she had to live the lie according to George's guidance the mom had no idea of any of it.


alyne   June 22nd, 2011 6:22 pm ET

Since everyone just has a theory, I will tell my theory, when the lab technician testified today about bleach being found in the air in the back of the car I didn't hear anyone say a word about chlorine, isn't chlorine a component of bleach? That would be a reason for the drowning in a swimming pool.

Another theory I have, I understand that Casey said she was molested by her father as a child. If she was I wonder if Calee was also molested and he knew the child would tell, so something had to be done. Just a theory but something to think about


Joanne   June 22nd, 2011 6:53 pm ET

Who was the father of Caylee?? This has never been mentioned. Believe I heard at one time Casey said he died. Doubt that??? There has to be a father and paternal grandparents.


Rose   June 22nd, 2011 6:55 pm ET

I think George is the fall guy but I think he is in on the whole thing. If you remember in the jailhouse tapes he told Casey if he could he would trade places with her and would do anything! I believe this whole family is coming to her defense, because who is going to prove that he did or didn't do and what is the worst than can happen to him? If she gets off on this it's because this family has sticked together. If you remember when Jose Bias gave his opening statement and she started crying when they mentioned her dad it looked genuine but I think she was crying because of what SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PUT HER DAD THROUGH not because she was recalling some bad memories! This family is coming to her defense in anyway they can, by lying, throwing the defense a bone and whatever other method they can use. At this point they just want their daughter home, whether she is a murder or not. Just a thought if they run out of options! Thanks you all, doing a great job...keep it up.


cmcnaul   June 22nd, 2011 6:57 pm ET

All the accusations Casey's defense have made from the start ALL, comes from Casey's own storyboard she dreamed up to get back at her parents & brother for trying to get her to fess up in those jailhouse visits. She's just that spiteful, and indeed threatened to keep Caylee away from them too.
This is Casey's movie she's playing over and over in her mind, she's just a Scarlet O'Hara of the century. That's how she's able to cry at will........but you look at her eyes...those tell the real story behind that facade. That's what sociopaths do, they can charm the socks off a cobra, and slit your throat with a wink & twinkle in their eye. It's all smoke screens, because her attorney's know she's as guilty as sin.


cmcnaul   June 22nd, 2011 7:03 pm ET

What's going on with her lawyers they ask? They know they are going to eat this one, decades to come. All they are trying to do is try to create the one question for the jury. Is there evidence to convict Casey? Her defense are trying to create just one element of "doubt" to the jury.


Surefooted_1   June 22nd, 2011 10:24 pm ET

Casey googled how to make chloroform and used chloroform on Caley to put her asleep while she could screw around. Caley spent many nights in the truck of Casey's Sunfire. After Cindy choked Casey on June 16, 2008, Casey killed Caylee the next day to spite Cindy. She wrapped Caylee's face in duck tape and placed a sticker on it. She bagged and thought of burying Caylee in the backyard yard before she placed her inside the car truck. She continued to screw and drive around with Caylee inside for a few days before she dumped Caylee's body near the school. She abandoned the car because it stunk so much. George must have thought Casey killed Caylee when he smelled the decomposition in the trunk. Since Casey has allowed Baez to implicate George, this case will be decided on the basis of George's testimony.


sharon   June 23rd, 2011 10:36 am ET

Surefooted_1.......exactly!

I think they will put Casey on the stand hoping that all the fake tears and fake sobs will make the jury feel sorry for her......
then they won't find 1st degree murder.

Anyone consider that good ole boy, Jose, probably already has a book deal going.....he will get rich off this case one way or the other.

I also think the reason people are so absorbed in this case, is not only because it is a soap opera, but I think they want to watch our judicial system at work and are frustrated because it is not if a person is innocent or not, but who can manipulate a group of people and win.....

I think it is a sorry situation.

She is guilty and should pay for what she did to an innocent child.


Ron   June 23rd, 2011 11:16 am ET

Another day of the Judge & Prosecutor side show!!! I just can't stand the arrogance of the Prosecutor in this case. This Prosecutor reminds me of the Prosecutor that handled the Duke case and we all remember the out come of that!!! In my opinion the judge in this case along with most if not all the Tru TV & HLN analyst have already found her guilty. I don't feel we should judge her under our system until all the facts are in and right now their not??? I still stand on what I said prior that in no way is she going to get a fair trial. I believe her parents have come out today and even said she is guilty, why would they say that to the press or anyone? Now they stand to lose a granddaughter and daughter and they have been a big part of it in helping the Prosecutor "way to much". Ron


don wiggs   June 23rd, 2011 12:14 pm ET

I think Casey is being viewed much to softly. What would this case be like if –think about it -A young man had done what she is accused of ? Pardon me but ,Casey should Die.


Marjorie Hagen Krupski   June 23rd, 2011 12:49 pm ET

OMG this is boring defense they are just asking the states witnesses the same questions they ask on redirect...grrr I am like asked and ansered out loud they are driving me nutz get to your point defense Aston is eating up your witnesses and Casey still did it she was last to be seen with the child waited 31 days no emotions at all except on one tape in jail she said to her parents "I FEEL THAT CAYLEE IS CLOSE well darn straight she was close like 2 min car ride away...Get to your claims Biez stop using up time with your boring questioned that YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK .. How can Casey make up such a mess on her own Dad who more than likely stuck up for her to Cindy shameful case...get justice for CAYLEE...stop with blaming everyone from George to the utility man for this they weren't with the child LAST


Surefooted_1   June 23rd, 2011 12:50 pm ET

Baez needs to move on with his defense. The overwhelming testimony has proved Caylees dead body was in the trunk of the car. He needs some good advice from some good defense attorneys.


Jim   June 23rd, 2011 2:43 pm ET

I feel the jury will pick up on the way Ashton treats the witnesses, he is badgering them. I don't know if he is appointed or voted in the position as state prosecutor, but either way he should be held to account for his unprofessional childish behavior.


Denise   June 23rd, 2011 3:06 pm ET

So now Casey's mother is "Covering" for her saying that she is the one that conducted the searches for Chloraform????? Why is she just saying this today????


Denise   June 23rd, 2011 3:07 pm ET

Is this purgery????? I am confused on what is happeneing today!


Terry M   June 23rd, 2011 3:30 pm ET

I understand George and Cynthia not wanting to lose their daughter but after listening to Cindy testify for the defense about internet searches, it is quite clear where Casey learned her art of lying from. Cindy is as big a liar as Casey, just not as convincing. I think the whole family should be locked up or put in rubber rooms. They are all nuts!


Tawny   June 23rd, 2011 3:46 pm ET

Cindy Anthony is a liar! The apple doesnt fall far from the tree! I truly hope that Cindy will find charges against her for perjury. Mother and daughter can spend time in jail together! What will Cindy do when it is found that she was in fact at work?? What a Liar, she is disgusting!


Amy   June 23rd, 2011 3:49 pm ET

look up chloro onyour computer and see what pops up te first thing is "how to make chloroform"


dee   June 23rd, 2011 3:51 pm ET

didn't the neighbor say casey needed a shovel to dig up some bamboo which is what cindy was worried about her dog getting to because it made it real sleepy


Robert   June 23rd, 2011 3:55 pm ET

I find it hard to believe that Cindy Anthony had to look up the words chloroform, chlorophyll or inhalation. This lady is a nurse, these things are subject she should have learned about in nursing school. What nurse do you know that doesn't have a working knowledge of these subjects.


Lisa   June 23rd, 2011 3:59 pm ET

Now we know where Casey Anthony learned to lie, Cindy is ruining things for her daughter by lying now. This new stain, she was doing the searches. How stupid do the Anthony's think we all are?


kathy   June 23rd, 2011 4:02 pm ET

Did anyone notice that Cindy spilled the beans on Casey's arrest on a fraudulent check charge – my understanding is that the jury wasn't aware of this.


rodney morgan   June 23rd, 2011 4:05 pm ET

Now we know where Casey learned to lie. Dear old mom.Chlorophyll, chloroform. Gimme a break Cindy Anthony. I was feeling sorry for you but now I have nothing but contempt.


Ron   June 23rd, 2011 4:09 pm ET

Remember its not over until the fat lady sings!!! I know that's not PC but it is what it is!!! Also, The judge won't let Atty. Bawz ask and/or finish his questions!!! Whats the old saying, don't prejudge until all the facts are in. Do I feel Casey's hands are clean, hardly!!!


lynn   June 23rd, 2011 4:12 pm ET

I just looked up clor...and I spelled it wrong and no where to choroform show up...As you can see I can not spell


c.oehlert   June 23rd, 2011 4:13 pm ET

Who is paying for Casey Anthony's defense attorneys


Kate McClurg   June 23rd, 2011 4:15 pm ET

When Cindy was asked if there was a password and she did not know and the computer expert said if it hibernated she would have to enter the password. Can the computer expert check that computer to see if it was set up that way? And if so, wouldn't Cindy be lying? Also I am surprised the prosecution gave out the password!!!


carmen navarro,new jersey   June 23rd, 2011 4:20 pm ET

What I would like to know is What happen with Linda Kenny Baden who was her lawyer in the beginning and my second question is if the defense thinks that Casey Anthony is innocent which i know she not Why they didnt hired Dr. Michael Baden to do a second opinion I know why cause Jose Baez knows that Dr. Baden will tell the truth


Judy Sika   June 23rd, 2011 4:25 pm ET

I have been following this case for 3 years when Nancy Grace started talking about it! .... I think that Cindy is now trying to save her daughter!!. Casey has thrown her entire family under the bus and I don't understand the change in Cindy. For the first time I don't believe Cindy!! I watched Casey cry and turn her head when they were showing the images of the scull when the jury was present, but without the jury she had no problem looking at them!! I don't believe Casey cares one bit about her parents,or her poor daughter, or anyone for that fact. she is stone cold and I pray that the jury isn't fooled by her act!! Every one knows that poor baby rode around in Casey's car for Lord knows how long while mommy partied. She has caused so much pain for so many people, and Baez is grasping at straws to save her ass!! Whats with the matronly hairstyle? we know she sure isn't!! This case is so sad! how can anyone look at that little girl and harm her? Who else would benefit except Mommy?!! I'm sorry I am rattling on I am just so mad at the whole thing, I wish that it was all a bad dream and she was still playing! So sad for her family! I pray her family can overcome this!!


linda   June 23rd, 2011 4:35 pm ET

The prosecutor had to bring up Cindy's medication to establish the fact that Cindy's mind is now "clear", therefore knowing what her statements are. i.e. she's now lying on the stand for Casey.... I sure any IT department head at Gentiva,,, will be able to look at Cindy's email and find that she was at work or not. I would think that the company would keep medical infomation on her computer for a number of years. We may be looking for perjury charges against Cindy in the coming days... now look out for George he may be the next surprise. The attorney statement from their attorney yesterday set this whole surprise up for today.


sally   June 23rd, 2011 4:40 pm ET

Now that Cindy mentioned Casey check fraud while on the stand today doesn't that open door for to bring up her record?


dmcavene   June 23rd, 2011 4:43 pm ET

Pretty evident today from Cindy's testimony where Casey learned to lie so well.


anne123   June 23rd, 2011 4:46 pm ET

During Cindy Anthony's redirect she made the comment about Casey's "check charges". Can her previous criminal charges now be brought out to the jury?


Surefooted_1   June 23rd, 2011 4:52 pm ET

Cindy appeared to be lying on the stand. Nontheless, she didn't say she googled "how to make chloroform" and never visited "MySpace". These internet searches were twenty seconds apart.


Judy Sika   June 23rd, 2011 5:04 pm ET

I have been reading all the comments about an accidental killing! If it were accidental why THE DUCT TAPE?!!! in case she isn't really dead??? I don't believe it for a second!!


Suzie   June 23rd, 2011 5:43 pm ET

So Cindy testifies that she looked up chloroform in March even though her schedule at work showed differently. She then states her supervisor made a mistake because she usually takes days off in March because of the holidays.......Hmmm..... the prosecution should be checking her bank records to see what she was actually paid during the "so-called" time she took off, as if she did take vacation days this would show on her check stub as such besides all the nurse's I know usually work the holidays because of triple time. Like mother like daughter, Liar, Liar, pants on fire..... I hope that the court sees through her lies and holds her in contempt then maybe Mommy and daughter can share a jail cell. Shame, Shame on you Cindy!!


Bonnie   June 23rd, 2011 5:44 pm ET

I am curious if anyone in the family ever saw Caylee climb the pool ladder?


Vanessa Prior   June 23rd, 2011 6:00 pm ET

They say a person will always show you who they 'really' are...and the Anthony family is beginning to show us that they condone deception or perhaps they truly don't even know the difference between the truth and a bare face lie. You can fool some of us, some of the time...but not for long!


Carol Baron   June 23rd, 2011 6:02 pm ET

After today, Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!


Jean Tackett   June 23rd, 2011 6:05 pm ET

ICindy being a nurse would know about chloroform, what if she just had a conversation about chloroform on how if could make her dog sleepy and that could give Casey the idea to search how to make Chloroform.. Just a thought


Surefooted_1   June 23rd, 2011 6:06 pm ET

Did the searches on the Anthony home computer also include words such as "pet", "dog", "yorki", "sleepiness", "bamboo", etc, to support Cindy's claim?


Holly   June 23rd, 2011 6:06 pm ET

Cindy was taking notes feverishly in court during this month of testimony. Now it makes sense why. She had to have access to the evidence so she could get on the stand and lie. The Judge should make them George and Cindy leave the courtroom.


carolyn   June 23rd, 2011 6:30 pm ET

I have been interested in the casey anthony case from the beginning.
I first I thought she was guilty. After watching the trial, and hearing her mother did the search, does Cindy think we are all crazy. Right, dogs in back yard in March 2008, Was this the first time the dog has been in back.

Stain in trunk was there when they bought the car, why didn't Cindy mention this before, would have saved the citizen of Flordia a lot of money.

I thought they had checked Cindy work record and it was reported she was working.


brenda   June 23rd, 2011 6:36 pm ET

Cindy lied today for Casey...Maybe she's hoping she will get off so she can kill her when she gets out..Ha HA..She knows she killed Caylee..I can't stand her lawyers,they don't have all their ducks in a row...Baez looks like he's lost....I just hope she gets death !!!! Then Justice will be served...


perry hitchcock   June 23rd, 2011 6:36 pm ET

i truly think that she will go free because threr is a question of dought the defence has the trury so fonfuesed its a wonder they are still a wake


marina christenson   June 23rd, 2011 6:38 pm ET

OMG, The apple does not fall far from the tree. Cindy makes up stories as good as Casey. Her answers were so padded. It looked like she knew what questions were to be asked of her and well prepared. Is this how the justice system works???


Nana A Banana   June 23rd, 2011 7:09 pm ET

I have so many questions. Why would Mr. Anthony find the baby in the pool and not call 911? Why would Cindy lie for Casey? Does Mr. Baez have a clue that he is pretty much boring the jury to death? Why do I feel the jury is going to find reasonable doubt, but feel deep down Casey is guilty? When is Baez going to explain to everyone why Casey/George did this horrible thing?


cheryl boys   June 23rd, 2011 7:14 pm ET

I have believed for some time that Cindy knows more than we think she does. I have also noticed that when she is dabbing her eyes,I do not see watery tears. Since she now says that she was the one that was searching on the web for chloroform because the dog was sick,was the word dog anywhere in the search?Also, about the times that she left work early,this can be checked with her boss.Now he could be in trouble with the government for falsafying work records.This whole family is messed up.Cindy can lie as well as her daughter.


jean   June 23rd, 2011 7:18 pm ET

INTERESTING....it was mentioned that the alledged girlfriend of George fit the description of person that Casey gave Cindy about of Zanny the Nanny ~ that fell on deaf ears...might that been the secret between George and Casey – anyione else catch that?


Sherman Mace   June 23rd, 2011 8:48 pm ET

Some of Mr. Baez's witnesses seem to be suffering from alzheimer's! If he wasn't so arrogant he would step down from lead attorney and let Mason take over. Perhaps when this is over he can defend traffic violations. He has struck me from the beginning as inept.


mary heider   June 23rd, 2011 9:01 pm ET

I think Cindy Anthony committed perjury today, with lies about the internet. she said she does not want cassie to get death penalty, so i think she will say anything to keep her off it. I hope they catch her in this. i do not want to see cassie get away with murdering her beautiful child.


Lane   June 23rd, 2011 9:38 pm ET

have you ever had a car that had a leak in the trunk on the carpet ? Especially, if you didn't know about the leak and it soured then you have trouble. The odor is horrible, you usually have to replace the carpet (and fix the leak of course) The odor smells of decay. This could have explained the trunk odor.


Betty Scuzzese   June 23rd, 2011 9:51 pm ET

I know a defendant assists in the defense of her trial, but am I the only one who thinks that Casey Anthony's actions at the defense table seems that she has lost sight of the fact that SHE is the defendant. She takes notes, seems to leaf through paperwork to provide what any one of the attorneys is looking for, she speaks (with her hand covering he mouth) to Mr. Baez or the female attorney as testimony is being given on the stand and at the end of court I notice that she puts paperwork back into folders in preparation for day's end. I also recall hearing (not testimony) that while Casey was out of jail on bail she spent a great deal of time in Baez's office, so much so that she actually answered the phones in his office. Anyway, that's my take.


kathy crawford   June 24th, 2011 9:44 am ET

why is cindy anthony (and other witnesses) being recalled? is there not an obligation for the witnesses evidence to be exhausted on one attendance? Why is there direct exam then cross exam then more direct and more cross...the rules seem very loose compared to English or Canadian legal practice?
kathy


Margaret Deppish   June 24th, 2011 9:51 am ET

If the child drowned why didn't they call 911 or do CPR??
Cindy is as big a lier as her daughter.
I just hope and pray the jury is smarter then those two of them!


Amy   June 24th, 2011 10:13 am ET

What about the shirt Caylee was wearing when she was found ...Cindy testified she has never seen that shirt before....Cindy is a nurse why didn't they bring that up yesterday about her searching for peroxide etc about the hand sanitizer...why wouldn't she ask an co-worker..Why did the state not ask Cindy why she was searching cholorphrom(spelling?) and not searching for bamboo or about her dogs???
STATE needs to step it up to win this case!!!!


Terry M   June 24th, 2011 10:15 am ET

We are watching the defense try to get to an accidental drowning on June 16th. Yet, if you go back and listen to the interview by police investigators, Casey Anthony stated several times that the last time she saw Caylee was June 9th, 2010. So did Zanny bring Caylee over to the Anthony home on June 16th and let her drown in the pool? To quote Nancy Grace, B.S.!


Charlotte   June 24th, 2011 10:34 am ET

If the Anthony's are searching for the TRUTH, why then speak something different than was already testified too. I understand they are trying to save their daughter from the death penalty, but in my mind they are making Casey look all the more guilty!! I would think the jurors would wonder the same thing.


Janette   June 24th, 2011 10:40 am ET

WHO took the pictures of Cindy helping Caylee into swimming pool? Isn't it interesting that someone would take photos of HOW to get into pool with a 2 year old? Step by step?? WHO does that? Cindy has taught Casey well......tell a lie when the truth makes sense.


Jim   June 24th, 2011 10:42 am ET

I can understand why the "expert panel" is confused, they have been confused for years. Trying to keep Nancy happy and not using their own common sense. It is hard to try to say things that Nancy wants to hear and not their own thoughts, that would make you confused.


sharon   June 24th, 2011 11:12 am ET

The prosecutors are not done with Cindy yet......I bet they have investigators all over her past work place checking on if she was at work. I would be very surprised if they don't recall her back to the stand.

If my dog's were sick, and I wondered if the bamboo caused it, I would search "bamboo", " poisonious to canine or dog", and call my vet....that is just common sense.

Also, I also felt sorry for Cindy.....but not now. She is lying for Casey so that Casey ' will continue to "love" her" mom, and she will have a future relationship with her daughter...plus to try and keep her from the death penalty.

Cindy has made excuses for Casey all of her life, which contributed to Casey's problems. Cindy just does not live in reality.

But if they don't charge Cindy with purgery, then the whole judicial system just proved that anyone can lie on the stand and get away with it.

And poor George.....he is an explosion waiting to happen....

I think we all agree......this family is nuts.


Pam L   June 24th, 2011 11:53 am ET

I thought Cindy was truthful and honest. Forget that! Now Lee is on the stand lying too. A family of liars!! WOW! Looks like Casey will get away it. She is guilty and everyone knows it. No justice for Caylee and I feel sad.


Shirley Grace   June 24th, 2011 11:53 am ET

People die everyday from broken hearts. I`m sure that is what put george in the suicide frame of mind. I`m sure he felt everything was his fault,( Decent Father`s/Mother`s do. Cindy & George know now their daughter is guilty of whatever killed calee, and just can`t take another death in their family. They believe casey when she yells at them, makes them both feel guilty, & wants to please her. manipulation is caseys game! No one will ever know for sure what caylee`s last minutes were, because casey will die first! I do believe her sexual abuse came from johns, (the paying kind) that`s how she got drugs, money etc., after all she never worked!! I think that one of these Johns was caylee`s Dad. but which one? Casey doesnt know. and I think thats why her family kept her secrets! Lee knows the truth. How embarrased for her family on that front. Also, I think casey od calee ,one too many times. George. cindy & Lee are only guilty of trying to save caseys life, no matter what!!! Also casey`s attorney needs to get a life!! what a loser!! casey can keep lying, but God knows the truth.


Sue   June 24th, 2011 12:04 pm ET

All family's have secrets. This is nothing new. All family's are dysfunctional!!!! Don't know why that would matter in any of this trial.
I feel for everyone but Casey. She know what she did and that is that.


Ali   June 24th, 2011 12:13 pm ET

CASSEY FINALLY GETS THE GLITCH THAT WILL SET HER FREE!! She learned that if she started taking notes, she could pass suggestions and comments to counsel, which she has done the past two days . CONTRAST her new demeanor, talking incesantly and writing notes to counsel, more emotions as she drives her family to commit minor perjury to free her from this rap.
She has managed to guilt trip Cindy and Lee into testifying minor perjury about the google searches and stains in the car, just enough to provide reasonable doubt....WATCH THE BLACK WIDOW...she is like Steven Spielberg released on the set and is controlling everyone now, mostly BOZO!! PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS WORD OUT, maybe the jurors can connect the dots. The prosecution has no chance against this crafted witchcraft that Casey is soooo familiar with.


Liz   June 24th, 2011 12:36 pm ET

Finally, Casey is going to cry.....not about her child, but because her brother is upset that he wasn't involved with Cayee's birth. WOW, talk about a couple of spoiled brats!!!!! Maybe her parents should have taught her to love her child and to think about something other than herself. She took her childs life and she should pay.


mhall   June 24th, 2011 12:37 pm ET

The bountyhunter stated in the beggining that Cindy Anthony ruled the family, After seeing Cindy's testimony for the defense on yesterday, I totally believe every word that the bountyhunter stated about the family. Cindy is a liar just as Casey. Casey probally developed her pathological lying from Cindy. Why not just tell the truth? Cindy should be praying for Casey that God will forgive her, not lying for Casey. Cindy's change in testimony only makes Casey look more guilty.


Dianne Newsom   June 24th, 2011 12:45 pm ET

I fell that both sides are spending too much time with senseless things in this trial, The Anthonys family are like all other families they have sleytons in their closet also, I feel that Casey Anthony told the story when she didn't turn a missing child report from the begining. . Being that George Anthony use to be on the police force if it had been an accident , he would have known to turn an accident in.


Ellen   June 24th, 2011 1:19 pm ET

My question is, if in fact the child drown and knowing the admiiration that George and Cindy had for her why would they not report it and bury her in a normal manner rather then as they indicate the George assisted Casey with disposing of the body. This makes no sense to me. An accident is just what it says. I truly believe in my heart that Casey who was a party girl accidently caused her death by sedating her so she could go party..... Thats my views folks!!!


jim fields   June 24th, 2011 1:34 pm ET

I feel sorry for cindy anthony,but she now speaks with a forked tongue. the first impulse when you pet is sick is to go the veterinarian-not a computer.hertestimony yesterday was not credible-but INCREDIBLE. Since when are witnesses under medication now credible?Suddenly
she remembers -selective memory syndrome?


Mary Wallendorff   June 24th, 2011 1:52 pm ET

All this show's is the hurt Lee has felt for year's because Cindy favored Casey. It hurts to feel unloved by one parent. He probably saw Casey out of control and his mother making excuses for her.


Debra H.   June 24th, 2011 2:01 pm ET

How come nobody has noticed that the story Casey told is the SAME one from a Law and Order SVU episode? In the episode the girl comes home from partying with friends and there was "rotting meat" in the trunk which is why there was a smell coming from it and why the girl was cleaning it. The police showed up and said that her mother had called the police and that she hasnt seen her or her daughter since which ever date was given. She said she is with her nanny. And the police went over to the apartment where "the nanny" was and they got there and there was nobody in the apartment then the daughter screamed THE NANNY TOOK MY BABY!!!! The police asked her where she met her and what she looked like they found a girl that she pointed out at the park that she said was the nanny. The women had never met her or her daughter. and the only baby that was in the lady's stroller was a plastic baby doll. Its the same story line. Why hasn't anybody noticed this???


sheba1   June 24th, 2011 2:10 pm ET

Please don't pick on the parents of Casey. They have and are going through hell. Put yourself in their place, you lose your grandaughter that I am sure Cindy and George raised and then possibly could love their daughter. Their only fault is spoiling their children too much and loving them too much. Give them a break. Wake up you cynical people. Show mercy


carrie   June 24th, 2011 3:35 pm ET

I have followed this case since the day Cindy Anthony reported Caylee missing to 911. I've got to say, tot mom deserves the worst we can give her. I am a mother of two and can not fathom reacting to one of my little girls disappearing with partying, tatooing, hot body contests or any other of her shananigans. The defense should have moved for insanity rather than drowning, that would have been more believable. I think Casey is extremely narcisistic and Caylee fell victim because she took the spotlight off of Casey. She is a disgrace....How she can not bring herself to stand up and say "I"m guilty, leave my family alone", is beyond me. They are disgracing themselves in order to save her from death and she is allowing it. I pray for her parents and I pray she gets the punishment she deserves. May it be more harsh than what she did to her little girl.


Jim   June 24th, 2011 4:01 pm ET

The main thing I'm getting out of this trial is the nature of people. Bias is such a powerful thing. The majority of people that are posted here have their minds made up as to the guilt of Miss Anthony. When the testimony is against her the witnesses are great and honorable people. When a witness says something that points to her in a favorable manner, the witnesses are stupid, lying, and a bunch of fools. This is scary because all these people are potential jurors. God help us all. The "expert panel" are probably the worst of all. The panel is comprised of lawyers, ex cops and judges. They, of all people, should be more even minded when they give their opinions.


mike   June 24th, 2011 4:02 pm ET

It seems to me the prosecution is objecting way too much. When I see this happen it makes me think what are they afraid of? This girl is on trial for her life and they are afraid what a police officer will say? They seem to be the ones objecting way too often. If I were on the jury it would strike me that they are afraid of some truth coming out no matter how small. If you have the correct person prove it and do not be afraid of some truths or facts coming out. Their job is to find the truth and not stop all facts from being shown. They should welcome truth.


Joan   June 24th, 2011 4:11 pm ET

Cindy Anthony is definitely covering for her daughter on the chloroform issue. She has lost her credibility. AND I DO NOT understand how they can keep going on this line of "Accidental" drowning because....PEOPLE DO NOT HIDE AN ACCIDENTAL DROWNING!!!!! It does NOT make ANY sense. Nothing jives on this!

#1. Casey would have told on her father in the beginning. Not sit in jail.
#2. George would have called 911.
#3. Casey would have nothing to lie about. BUT she did lie many many many times over SOOOO, she's hiding something. The only reason to is to protect herself.

The real clue to this is to focus on what facts are known to be true. NOT on fantasy 's of what MAY have happened


acanton   June 24th, 2011 5:55 pm ET

If this entire family is all lying about what happened to caylee, then they shall all be prosecuted. Being liars and dysfunctional should not be an excuse for committing any crime. Add to that the cost of this trial. If it was an accident, it should have been reported and this extravagant cost for a bunch of liars would not be happening. Are we all allowed to comitt crimes on the basis of dysfunction in a family? Who is paying for Caseys attorneys?


Michelle   June 24th, 2011 6:11 pm ET

Has anyone thought that George could be the father of Cailie?There was suppossed abuse, and it seems that the family wanted to initially hide the pregnancy. I think Cailie looks ALOT like George. Lee was tested for paternity, but was George ever tested????
Thanks


Sherry Gunter   June 24th, 2011 6:32 pm ET

It is so painfully obvious that Cindy and Lee are trying to save Casey's life. Even going so far as to lie for her. I don't think anyone can fault them for that. They have already lost precious Caylee. I think an intelligent jury can see what is going on here. I really think that it can be proven that Cindy was indeed at work on the days the internet searches on chloroform were made. There should be a way to verify that once and for all. I am hopeful that the State will knock it out of the park on their closing remarks. It makes me sick to think about Casey walking away from this and continuing on her sick pathway!


Lane   June 24th, 2011 6:36 pm ET

This makes no sense if Casey Anthony was a party girl, where is the pictures of her before she got pregnant with Caylee, she must have been wild then, why doesn't her mom Cindy ever talk about those days before Caylee was born? Someone had to take all these pictures of Caylee with Cindy. It was Casey that took the pictures of her daughter. It looks like Cindy took over the role of mother to her grand-child, and Casey was pushed aside. I for one cannot believe that Casey killed her child. I may be the only one that believes this. But I have to be shown all the evidence, and I don't think all this evidence that they are presenting is enough to to convict her. They have not convince everyone with the chloroform bit, All the cleaning that Cindy Anthony did on the car, probably cleaning agents that is found in Chloroform. This is another opinion for the defense.


Lane   June 24th, 2011 6:40 pm ET

What is the secret that Lee Anthony overheard his parents talking about, that he went to the defense attorney with? Will we ever be able to hear this information?


Marilyn Mackey   June 24th, 2011 6:46 pm ET

After watching the Casey Anthony case again today, I am wondering if the big secret between Lee and Casey could be that one of them is adopted, they had an affair and Lee thought the baby was his and his parents didn't want either one of them to know?


Sunny   June 24th, 2011 7:13 pm ET

Cindy has been covering for Casey for years now. I have seen this happen in many families and it always makes for a selfish, spoiled brat of a child. Cindy paid off Casey's fruadulent checks and now she is lying about the pc searches. She made Casey the way she is and hasn't learned her lesson yet. I do not believe that Cindy believes Casey is innocent. I wonder if George will cover for too. If so he would have to testify that he is a child molester. Would a man really go that far a daughter. I Hope Not!


carole Barry   June 24th, 2011 7:20 pm ET

I think Casey told Lee how she got rid of Caylee and he has been carrying this burden around and thats why he said what he said at the funeral for Caylee. CMA I got your back, he meant Casey's back.

Has everyone forgot that Caylee is a victim here and there seems to be no concern for her just for Casey. I think the whole family dramatizes. Poor Caylee. I think God is the only one who can bring justice and he will.


carol   June 24th, 2011 7:47 pm ET

i too felt sorry for cindy and george, but cindy is wrong in lieing for her daughter, that is what got casey into all this in the beginning....lies, lee is just doing what his mother wants. casy killed her daughter and now sits there while everyone else lies to get her off.....what happened to justice for caylee.


Lorraine   June 24th, 2011 11:13 pm ET

I believe that Casey was a prostitute and that she doesn't know who the father of her child was, and that is why they tried to hush it up, leaving Lee to believe that he was not included in the pregnancy of his sister, I personally don't think it's dysfunctional if a person is not included anyway otherwise there would be millions of dysfunctional families, and they would like the jury and people to believe they are dysfunctional.


AWH   June 25th, 2011 8:09 am ET

This is why you all have to listen to both sides. You can't convict a person because they lie or party! You all takes what part of this trial that you want to make your decision and if all trials depended on you all there will not be enough prisons to hold all of them. We all have love ones any kind of freak incident can happen where they may have to go trial, and it doesn't have to be behind the death of a child prison has no preference when you in–you in guilty or not. Wait until all the evidence is in!!!


eddy clark   June 25th, 2011 9:09 am ET

Wondered all along ,where is the father to Casey?


eddy clark   June 25th, 2011 9:11 am ET

where is the father to caylee?


adrienne   June 25th, 2011 9:41 am ET

Wendy Murphy, child advocate lawyer, has written that photos, among other items, have been sealed. The photos are from the Anthony home and are considered by the court to be "too prejudicial." Murphy suggests that Caylee is a victim of child porn and presents a very reasonable case for the car, the change of clothing and more.
Can you please expand on this?

Thanks!
Adrienne


Linda   June 25th, 2011 9:44 am ET

Contrary to the accusations of a dysfunctional family, I think this trial has shown a very strong, united, disciplined family. One that has practiced their testimonies over and over again until they had every word, and facial expression, down pat. They have been instructed by someone who knew exactly what would, and wouldn't appeal to a jury. I think Cindy's dramatic "break down" on the stand was an excellent example of this. My question is this: if it is finally decided that this was indeed a tragic accident that George and Casey covered up, is there any way that the State can recover any of the money they have wasted on this case due to the deception of that pair?


Tonyia Dillingham   June 25th, 2011 9:45 am ET

At this point Cindy will go along with whatever the defense wants her to. Just to save her daughters life.
She is in a way throwing her husband under the bus. Since the defense said George found her.
If I was on the jury I would NOT believe it was an accident. For the simple fact that it was "covered up" And they didn't call 911. You only cover up a murder!!
No mom would cover up an accidental drowning of their child!!


Connie   June 25th, 2011 9:49 am ET

The photo of the little girl purported to be Caylee opening the patio door does not look like a 2 1/2 year old child. HLN should superimpose an average 2 1/2 year old ovee that photo. Look at the shoes and the size of the feet!!


shirley   June 25th, 2011 9:51 am ET

Since Cindy Anthony said she took the day off when she did her computer search. Did they do any investigation into weather she signed off on anything pertaining to her duties as a supervisor?


ieleen montgomery   June 25th, 2011 10:01 am ET

What if Casey accidentally over chloroformed her daghter. Maybe hid it for a few days, but paniced and went to her parents for help.. After all her dad was a policeman and perhaps he came up with the idea to add the duct tape to make it appear to be a kidnapping. I'm sure if that happend the mother was in on it too. Maybee the all the family even Lee the brother.


Becky   June 25th, 2011 10:17 am ET

Did anyone see Casey kinda freak out when Biez was going to ? Lee 06/24?

Also, In Session talked like Biez was some kind of genius yesterday.
All he did is ? witnesses that have been taking notes in the courtroom
the whole time, and trying to keep there precious liar from the needle.
Disfunctional Family + Accident should not = being wrapped up in two plastic trash bags and one cloth bag, then thrown away like trash for animals to devour.


DBC   June 25th, 2011 10:23 am ET

There was a photograph introduced into evidence of a little girl opening a sliding door. This could not have been Caylee because Cindy herself said that she could not open the sliding doors herself. The photograph is at the very least, misleading.


Barbara in DC   June 25th, 2011 10:31 am ET

Possible reason for recess today (Sat): Has there been some follow-up on whatever information that Lee overhead from parents' private discussion that he (Lee) felt compelled to tell Jose Biaz quite recently?


Sheila   June 25th, 2011 10:33 am ET

Why when the Judge came back today was the State Prosecutor not sitting at the table, but in a chair....not with the other prosecutors?
(Ashton)


otisandbea   June 25th, 2011 10:41 am ET

Am i the only one to think maybe the brother is the one who helped her move the body.They were the two that was close in this family.
He's the only one the defense has not put in the line of fire and i think she wouldn't let them use him any more than the maybe he molested me remark..I think the cma he was talking to at the memorial was his sister.
I know God will handle the judgement in the end to us all,and in her state of denial she won't ask for forgivness..


Steve Elvidge   June 25th, 2011 10:47 am ET

Question: If the tape found around Casey was originally applied to the skin (face) and the skin disintegrated , why would the tape then be found stuck to the skull? wouldn't it just sluff off?


Karen Johnson   June 25th, 2011 10:47 am ET

As much as the judge tries to 'run a tight ship', this trial is becoming a showcase for the state of justice in the US. Defendants, plaintiffs (and taxpayers), as well as the jury, all deserve a fair trial. But the games that attorneys play with other people's lives is at times shameful. Legal ethics require a lawyer not only to provide a zealous defense, but also to behave as officers of the court and citizens of the USA. Attorneys who show repeated disregard for the rules (and the judges who allow it) ought to be sanctioned severly enough to make them think twice before playing their games.

Casey seems to have been complicit in some way with Caylee's death. George may have abused her, but it seems unlikely that he helped cover up an accident. There is significant dysfunction in the family, expecially in Casey. But the prosecution overshot in going for the death penalty. They now have to fight both the defense tactics and the Anthony family's attempt to keep Casey from a lethal injection. The victims (besides Caylee) are others still living in our society: the Forida taxpayers, this jury, and anyone who is unfortunate enough to be drawn innocently into the US legal system.


Becca   June 25th, 2011 11:22 am ET

This is the first time , I have seen Casey Anthony go into Judge Perry's chamber with attorneys. Legal issue? Hmmmmm


Roxanne Putney   June 25th, 2011 11:38 am ET

Could the trial delay today be because: Prosecutors checked Cindy Anthony's email at her place of employment, and found that she was working the days that searches were made on the home computer for Chloroform? Would they bring perjury charges if in fact this was the case?


C Tinsley   June 25th, 2011 11:51 am ET

Could it be that the state got into Cindy Anthony's work computer and found that she was at work on the day she said she was home looking up things on the computer? This would show she perjured herself for her daughter.

It's a thought.
C Tinsley


Ed   June 25th, 2011 12:02 pm ET

Do u thing that someone might have spilled the Beans, about a meeting with Baez and the Anthony's about their testimony... On the way they change there story


Charlet Medford   June 25th, 2011 12:05 pm ET

Look...I feel that casey learned how to lie so well from someone..like George. You people say that Casey is such a good liar , but George and Cindy are not?????


Laura, Chico, California   June 25th, 2011 12:08 pm ET

Regarding today's events: PLEASE look at the body language of the prosecution while they are in the critical side bar this morning. WATCH how Linda's arms are crossed, and Ashton & the other man's HANDS are in their POCKETS! This looks to me like they got BAD NEWS. NOT the Defense, though. Look at their demeanor. They seem to have won this particular battle. Not good for the prosecution, IN MY OPINION.


Jessie Jackson   June 25th, 2011 12:09 pm ET

Could today's court delay have something to do with Casey having a change of heart about her sexual abuse claims after watching her brother's emotional testimony yesterday?


Jim   June 25th, 2011 12:09 pm ET

Ashton's strategy OBJECT, OBJECT, OBJECT!!
Come on Judge, let the jury hear and decide. Ashton is in over his head and knows he made the wrong charges. Let the witnesses be heard and the jury decide!!!!


Lane   June 25th, 2011 12:46 pm ET

in my opinion the duct tape was placed around the bag to seal it and detoriated along with the plastic bag during the months that the body lay there in the woody area.


phil king   June 25th, 2011 1:01 pm ET

Why are people upset because Cindy is testifying with information that may support what the defense is sujjesting about the drowing of Cayle.No matter what we may belive and who we think it will benefit, we have a moral obligation to tell what we know and saw.Justice is never to be if we only give information to support our views or opinion.We have a jury to determine the outcome. This is why there have been cases overturned and people convicted wrongfully in the pass because the prosecution withheld information that does not support their case. and may point the finger elsewhere.I am not saying she is guilty or innocent, only God, Casey and Cayle know for sure.


Kelley   June 25th, 2011 1:39 pm ET

Has the prosecution checked out thoroughly that pix of "Caylee"trying to open the back door. I'm very suspicious..it looks conveniently doctored and furthermore it is easy to say it is Caylee because you cannot see a face...that dress she has on looks bigger than a 3T to me. I think they should check it out and see if it was fixed. Cindy,Lee,Casey....sick...now for George...wait and see.


judy pendergrass   June 25th, 2011 1:52 pm ET

Today the judge recesses court til monday for a legal matter..I think for one that Jose got smart with the judge saying they would no longer keep doing this. And while in chambers got into more trouble cause he continues to violate the couts order with reports and testimony of his witnesses. I also noticed when he left the court house he was not with his fellow attorneys.


ckf   June 25th, 2011 2:02 pm ET

Why isn't anyone mentioning the fact that we are all innocent until proven guilty and that all this controversy and second guessing of everything that happens is going to incite the public to make assumptions and form opinions that are based only on inflated information and leaked partial information that prevents us from remembering that the basic premise of our legal system is innocent until proven guilty?


Shirley McGlothlin   June 25th, 2011 2:05 pm ET

As a retired Mortician and a Nurse, I can't believe Cindy Anthony did not know Casey was pregnant, even in the late stages.. I wouldn't want her to be my nurse! Also, remember EVERY person facing the death penalty has a family. Why is the Anthony family any different? It appears LYING is part of the family genetics.


dianne niemann   June 25th, 2011 3:24 pm ET

Can we see Dr. G testimony again????


Janet   June 25th, 2011 3:26 pm ET

Even if defense could show that Caylee could get into pool on her own, that doesn't account for the chloroform found in the car. Many have said they think the chloroform was to put her to sleep and she died accidentally, at what point is it OK to give your child chloroform? For ANY reason? The prosecution has shown child abuse if nothing else.


mary lee   June 25th, 2011 3:28 pm ET

Are you kidding me...did noen of you notice how jose baez shot back at his honor when Judge Belvin said he would read the witnesses two reports and compare...and baez sais something like...oh no we're not going to do this again....did you see Judge Belvin's face?


j carpenter   June 25th, 2011 3:45 pm ET

why would george care if casey knew about the "accident" if she is the one that left the ladder up ?

also i am wondering how long casey has worn her hair that color and length ?


Margie L   June 25th, 2011 4:20 pm ET

My thoughts on the pool ladder being left up.....Maybe Casey did drug Caylee so that she could "party" When she found out that she was lifeless, she tried to stage a pool accident. Putting the ladder up and putting Caylee in the pool. When she realized for some reason that it wasn't going to work she carried her to the playhouse and laying her on the ground to figure out what to do next . In her haste to make her next move she left the ladder at the pool.


bob   June 25th, 2011 4:21 pm ET

i think that since the prosecution hid evidence about kronk mabe he might be the father of caylee anthony.


Carol Pulaski   June 25th, 2011 4:45 pm ET

I cant believe that anyone is believing that Cindy is telling the truth on the stand on Friday. She is obviously lying, and i do not understand why the prosecuter did not go after her more. In addition, if they want to advance the drowning theory, why in the world would they let Casey remain in jail for 3 years. I believe the defense team know Cindy is lying and I have stopped watching the trial, because it almost makes me ill to think that Casey may get away with murder!!!!!


susan   June 25th, 2011 5:08 pm ET

friday 3pm-in court, as sidebar was ending,camera showed casey anthony very angry, pointing at pros,whispering frantically to her lawyer. the look on casey's face took me aback, it was so volatile. did anyone else catch that?


Anna Daly   June 25th, 2011 5:09 pm ET

I believe Casey's negligence caused Caylee's death. I do not believe she premeditated it. Casey is guilty of many things including, lying, child neglect, not reporting Caylee's death and costing the state of Florida huge amounts of money. She has caused great pain and public humiliation to her family. She deserves some form of punishment for sure. If Cindy told the truth then she did the right thing. If she didn't then maybe in "her" eyes she did the right thing. She doesn't want her daughter to be put to death. Maybe Cindy believes that it wasn't intentional and doesnt want to risk losing Casey. Casey is her daughter and she loves her. Nothing we say will ever change that. And how many other times in court history has someone gotten on the stand and lied to save a loved one?


Dee   June 25th, 2011 5:22 pm ET

Is the prosecution considering that the weather in Orlando, Florida – most of Florida, the day of June 18, 2008 was thunder, lighting, and rain? Is it likely that even a child would go outdoors to get in a pool during rain, thunder, and lightning?


Sandra Patterson   June 25th, 2011 5:44 pm ET

I think it is very interesting that Cindy said on the stand Friday about her little dog being so tired all the time, and therefore she looked up chloroform!

I'm thinking back to when the police dogs alerted in their back yard – meaning that there could have been a dead body (Caylee) being placed near the play house!

First Cindy said that she was worried her Yorkie was acting up and feared it had contracted chloroform from bamboo roots. Cindy said she looked up chloroform. (couldn't the dogs have been explosed to chloroform where the police alerted in the area near the play house?

I think the prosecution might have checked into that – and that is the reason for the delay on Sat. To find out more on it.

Louise Moncton   June 25th, 2011 8:02 pm ET

re: Lee's being hurt and Cindy telling him 'let it go'. It's not because they didn't want Lee involved in the upcoming birth and events. It's because he is sick of how Casey behaves and what she gets away with. If anything, the conversation went something like this

Lee: "OMG, Mom. Now she is pregnant. She didn't finish high school, she doesn't have a job, she steals money and you are always coming to her rescue. Now she is going to have a baby and you are making a baby room and going 'over the top' and coming to her rescue again. I bet you are going to raise her baby for her".
Cindy: "Lee, just let it go...just stay out of it"
Lee;" I will. I've had it with this family and with Casey. I'm done".

They probably had expectations of Lee growing up but much lower standards of expectation for Casey. Siblings get sick of that and resent the other sibling for the drama and hate the irresponsibility they witness in their sibling. This is why Lee says to Casey "what the hell is this -pointing at her baby bump".


ginny b   June 25th, 2011 8:46 pm ET

It is my contention that the swimming pool ladder found attached to the pool and the opened gate discovered on June 16 by Cindy A. was opened by Casey to suggest a home invasion . She took the gas can in order to either pour gas on the body or use the fumes to dissipate the decomposition odor.


curious   June 26th, 2011 12:22 am ET

There is a dead child, an accusation of molestation by father, an accusation if molestation by brother, an alleged mistress, an enabler mother who cherished her granddaughter and doesn't want to loose her daughter. Did cop father hold power over daughter, "don't tell, or else"?
Did brother have his way with sister as well? Why did dad leave force for a measly security job in Florida? Did a terrible accident happen due to Tot mom's negligence? Did dad agree to cover up for tot mom in payment for daughter's molestation silence? I do not believe that Casey is alone in this fiasco, but that the entire family is involved in a cover-up!


Shari Carter   June 26th, 2011 4:20 am ET

Friday, June 24th , Lee Anthony testified that he overheard a conversation of his parents and went to Jose' Baez to report whatever it was he heard his parents talking about and he stated he was afraid the information wouldn't be known if he (Anthony) didn't go to Jose' with the information. On cross he was asked by the Ashton if he & Jose's discussion pertained to any of his testimony of today...Anthony said NO...and Ashton left it there. Is this a possibility of witness tampering that would cause the judge to have to recess until Monday to look into the statement Anthony made? It was the later part of Anthony being crossed by Ashton? Any thoughts or am I watching too much court the past 27 days? Also, if there is to be no discussion between witnesses during the days of trial...How does George & Cindy manage this? :)


Andy A. Baton Rouge, La   June 26th, 2011 11:13 am ET

When Lee Anthony was on the stand Friday, he stated under oath that he refused to be deposed by the prosecution and defense in preparation for the trial. Strange don't you think. He also stated that he had a meeting with his family (mother & father) a day or so before Cindy testified that she was the one that looked up Chloroform on the computer. He didn't say he visited his family, he stated that he had a meeting with his family. He testified that something occurred at this meeting that caused him to immediately seek out the defense lawers at the end of this meeting. For some reason, the prosecution lawyers DID NOT ask him what had happened to make him seek out the defense lawyers. Very strange. From what I have seen thus far in the trial, one of two things could have occurred at this family meeting: 1) He learned that his mother planned to lie on the stand and say she was the one that looked up chloroform, or 2) he told his family that he plans to tell the court that he did molest his sister. #2 would explain why he had refused to be deposed by the lawyers prior to the trial, why he was emotional on the stand Friday and why the judge stopped the trial abruptly on Saturday (both sides need time to depose him now).


ACR   June 26th, 2011 10:39 pm ET

I disagree, although I think Casey knows what happened, I believe that she left Caylee with the grandmother the day she moved out and it was the grandmother who had her and is at fault for the baby's death. This would explain why she was at clubs during that time frame. By all the photos and home video and testimony about Casey being a great mom, is clear in how happy and well adjusted the baby was. Cindy Anthony is clearly controlling and manipulative and has tried to manipulate the investigation by the police first saying one thing and then another. Her Facebook "plea" that she did the best she could with a "bad" child shows this. Her demeanor in court is argumentative to both the defense and the prosecution, as though neither side had "authority" to question her. Casey isn't manipulative, she doesn't have the ability to lie convincingly. Her stories are so far-fetched she would have to have the mind of a child to believe that these tales would be believeable to adults. I believe Casey has been bullied by an abusive mother into not telling and the perposterous tales are the best she can do and since she has lived under threats from her mother her whole life, she is doing what she has been told to do.


beawoos   June 26th, 2011 11:49 pm ET

I would like to ask ms. jean casares a question about what she said when Dr. G the medical examiner left the witness stand. she told us the public that Dr. G. did a fantastic job and when she stepped down from the witness stand she looked at the jury, and jury #11 and #12 looked at Dr. G and smiled at her, and Dr. G smiled back at them. should she had gotten a message to the judge instead of coming on the air and saying that to the listeners.


Gail B   June 27th, 2011 11:07 am ET

Don't you think Casey has finally realized that she cannot manipulate the courts....seeing this is something she has been able to do all her life....and now her game is up....maybe trying to cop out that she is not able to understand has finally fell through the floor and SHE IS on trial for murder and could be put to death....even her mother has failed at saving her....their game is over and reality is finally setting in...


Ron   June 27th, 2011 11:50 am ET

does anyone know if they finger-printed or DNA'ed the trash in the trunk. It seems to me, that Mr.Anthony said he washed this car every saturday,,,,,Who put the trash in the back of the car? Did the person who put Caylee, wrapped in a trash bag, use the trash to disguise putting her in there......???? Seems like common sense that, that's a good possibility


Pat in Destin   June 27th, 2011 11:55 am ET

Where is the rest of the anthony family? aunts, uncles, ? cousins?
Doesn't seem to be any family besides those 4.

I don't believe casey killed her daughter by her own hands, I believe she was drugged, in bed with the dealer and the child just got in the way. So, one of his guys "took her to the nanny". and she wound up in the trunk of casey's car. She was a bad mother, and the child paid.


Kathy   June 27th, 2011 12:37 pm ET

I Know things look bad for casey. and I am trying to wait until the end of the trial to judge. but I would like to give a small bit of input that may or may not be of interest. This is a true story. My parents live in FL. We live in central Alabama. Very hot parts of the US. We went to visit them on the forth of july a few years ago. We were told after we left that a huge storm here the day we left. We had ran into some of that on the way to FL. We got back one week after we left. Living on a dead end road in a rural area. The transformer blew on our property. With no one here there was no way we could have known about it for the whole week. But as soon as we walked in the door. We all said "who died" It was awful. We had a roast, pork and chicken in in the freezer. There was blood leaking out in the freezer from the roast. No Lie. My house was so bad it took days of cleaning airing out and spraying any and everything we could get our hands on. This is the truth. I have no favoritism toward casey Anthony. I am just stating a fact. It has just been something on my mind. And something our family have discussed during this trial.. I don't even know if it means anything.


Linda   June 27th, 2011 1:12 pm ET

So far all of the speculation has been MORE drama than the trial itself. Howz about: Casey wants to take the stand against her defense teams advise. You have failed to notice/mentioned that the ONLY TIME Casey appears/acts "normal" is when the jury is out of the room. When the jury is present, the Casey show begins. I do not believe the Anthony family is "disfuntional". Perhaps Casey kept it a secret from everyone (one of her many lies), first thought to abort, then later to adopt Caylee out and was convinced by George and Cindy that they would take care of the child and Casey (just another free ticket for Casey). We still have not heard about Cindy and Casey's fight, I believe that confilcted with the fantasy lifestyle (not working, sleeping around, partyville and if Zanny did not exist who was watching Caylee (thus the chloroform and placing her in the trunk-out of site and napping). There is the "accident" and chloroform is NO ACCIDENT; still a death penality case in Fla.


Carol   June 27th, 2011 1:13 pm ET

Lee Anthony was so upset he was not informed and included
in Casey's pregnancy, It is suspicious that he was not informed and not included. Perhaps Casey thought he was likely the father.
Casey was so upset when Lee said he felt guilty he was not more involved. These two have a very abnormal relationship...reflective of incest?....Remember, dna testing was done to determine if Lee was the father, and Mr. Baez did not ask him on the stand if he had a sexual encounter with Casey.
Casey has borderline traits along with her sociopathy, and likely lost touch with reality briefly when Lee testified and her mother claimed computer searches...prompting the question if she was incompetent (out of touch with reality) But,as borderline, she reconstituted within hours and was found competent.

Did anyone see on Saturday when they were doing playbacks etc.
I don't know if this remark was from Friday or Saturday morning but Jose Baez said to the judge in front of everyone (so it looked) something to the effect "he would twist the words to the witness"

That is lying. OMG can he do that?


Donna W   June 27th, 2011 1:22 pm ET

Casey is on trial for life..and her brother could easily be crying..because it's his sister+the reality of it..all the times they had as siblings growing up..Everything Baez does is to GET her OFF!!..even the competence test!!..she is a "complete actress"..she loves being on TV+all the attention..forget Caylee..this is her 15 minutes of fame!!..Look at her playing to the camera..what a pathetic excuse for Mother!!..Guilty as h-ll!!..Hope the Jury isn't so Stupid as to let her off..but don't ever under estimate folk's stupidity!!..maybe it will be like OJ+G-d will serve her justice at a later time..what a waste of taxpayer's money..I'd like to see Bozo Baez sent to prison for defendying her..His Ego is as big as hers!


Pearl   June 27th, 2011 1:29 pm ET

Casey looks emotionless robot sometimes. No regret no pain. Yes she some time tries to influence judge,jury by faking crying. Her parents should leave her to face consequences her of her misdeeds. I pray for little baby Caylee.


Kent   June 27th, 2011 3:33 pm ET

If I were sitting on the jury, having endured all of the frustrating delays to this point, I would be more exasperated with the prosecutor's incessant objections thinking part of his strategy is to derail the defense by constant interruption, no matter how good of a job he may be doing.


Beverly from Tennessee   June 27th, 2011 4:27 pm ET

I believe Lee moved the body from the car trunk to the woods. His message to CMA was to Casey, And the "secret" he promised to keep was what she had told him about how Caylee died.


Amy   June 27th, 2011 4:42 pm ET

Ok. I only have one thing to say and that is Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Anyone who does not see it, absolutely has to be watching another trial. It makes me sick to watch her just sitting in that chair and feeling sorry for herself. The one thing that plays back in mind over and over is that one jailhouse visit where she told her parents that her life was over. Her life is over????? What about her beautiful little girl that was found with duct tape over her mouth? Its always about Casey. Well, i have just one more thing to add, Eye for an Eye!


deemn   June 27th, 2011 5:29 pm ET

I do not think they should be allowing her parents in there every day and Cindy taking notes so she can tailor her answers..


sharon   June 27th, 2011 5:54 pm ET

That video they showed to the jury. Wasn't that the same video that I believe Nancy Grace showed on her show? or was it just pictures?


Ann   June 27th, 2011 6:45 pm ET

I'm wondering if the father of Caylee was actually a friend of Lee's? If the Caylee daddy passed, then why wouldn't Casey know what he passed from?? She knew he had passed, but why wouldn't she inquire about how or where, or what happened. Is it possible that she got rid of him, too?? Just a thought. I believe that it is possible that Casey had help and that there was more than one person involved with this. I believe that the mom is claiming she was looking up chloroform because she wants it to look good for Casey. Why would she need to look up Chloroform, she is a nurse, wouldn't she already know about this type of thing?


Jeffrey   June 27th, 2011 7:27 pm ET

"The rest is just smokefilled coffee-house crap." This is a quote from the movie A Few Good Men. This applies so well to the case it is ridiculous. Everything that is testimony now is a joke. Casey already admitted to the death of her child, when she said "Caylee drowned". Casey is either guilty of child neglect or she is guilty of murder. The question she needs to answer- Why did it take your mother 31 days later to call 911 and why were you out partying if your child was kidnapped or missing?


Michelle   June 27th, 2011 7:34 pm ET

IWatching this trial I feel like a little kid,sitting at the edge of my seat, saying Liar Liar Pants on fire..


colleen west   June 27th, 2011 8:01 pm ET

When I was young my father molested me and I was also afraid to talk or tell now I went just the other way. I’m so truthful sometimes I can hurt someone with the truth but now my sister is the mirror image of Casey. Now if you have a father like this I can see Casey’s father doing just what she said he did I can see him screaming at her with that baby in his arms and then get on that stand and have every one believe him that kind of man has two faces. On one could have even thought my father was capable of being such a monster. and also thing about this if he is the father not just the grandfather and that baby died he would not have reported it because with him being a sheriff the father would have to be notified of the death and if he is the father it would bring everything out and thats the last thing he would want so I thing the father Gorge should be where Casey is


Mary Schwarck   June 27th, 2011 9:35 pm ET

I feel the defense erred by placing the P.I's. on the stand today. It is their testimony that a psychic led them to this area to find a body that (according to the defense) wasn't there yet because it had not been placed there yet by Roy Cronk. She MUST be a really good psychic to know that was his upcoming plans for the body! It truly leads one to believe that the information to search that area came from within the Anthony home!


Barbara, Fairfield CA   June 27th, 2011 10:21 pm ET

SHE might have insistented on the hearing so she could take to stand against her attorneys advise.


John Gibney   June 28th, 2011 9:02 am ET

When Cindy Anthony testified that the computer was on through May, June and July... I doublt if that actually happend. An easy way to determin this is to look at the computer Update History. Microsoft sent through over 10 updates and many would have required the computer to be restarted. Since Cindy mentioned that she did not have Casey's password... that would quickly verify exactly who was using the computer. Also regarding Cindy's company emails, you can be sure that they were using an exchange server and the IT person there would have easy access to any and all emails stored and viewed. What she said on the stand regarding her company emails was a total lie. She acted like she knew a lot about computers when talking about her company email... and dummy regarding her personal computer... She didn't even know what browser she was using. This lady lies when the truth sounds better.


Kathy C   June 28th, 2011 10:39 am ET

i believe the entire bunch (including the family and defense) should be thrown in jail. What a travesty this entire thing is. I am appalled all this lying is permitted – and the lies from the onset of the trial have been so obvious it makes me sick.


Merlin   June 28th, 2011 11:24 am ET

I think Lee Anthony is the only family member telling the whole truth on the stand...unfortunately, he's probably the only one who doesn't know what happened to Caylee.


susan   June 28th, 2011 11:50 am ET

wow I,m with collen I had left comment last Sunday giving lots of examples why GA is A molester, also he did have an afair with other women. Please are any of us going to believe he went there because she had A tumor, said he had been there several times when asked if he left texts he said yes, he couldn,t lie about that he knows they have record, Does anyone really think his wife knows he was over there alone with her making her feel better, GA is the one that comes up with lies and tells lies this is where Casey gets it from, how do we really know the day Caylee went missing was the same day she was out at nite club, maybe it was next day, why aren,t there any other picts, of Casey dancing? how many of us haven,t told little white lie to get out of some invitation because we didn,t want to hurt someones feelings and didn,t want to go. I have left several other comments being probaly only 10 percent of comments that GA is gulity of being A molestor and knowing what happened to Cayley and setting it up to make Casey look Guilt, the way he offers up to cops in terragation room (Casey,s car does smell like dead body like he,s talking to A neighbor) 2( his temper screaming to protect his wife)3(wants to commit suicide and writes 5 page letter yet he doesn,t but keeps letter, I thought he was worried about Cindy huh) 4(he had access to car, no friends ever smelled dead body, why later did he) I hope we can all keep an open mind


susan   June 28th, 2011 11:59 am ET

Its Susan again, see how he set Casey up to be lying to cover his butt Now he,s going to lie and say misstress said she had brain tumor to cover his affair why is everyone else always the liar when it comes to him.


kim   June 28th, 2011 12:13 pm ET

Roy Kronk is doing a very credable job....remember that he saw the skull in August and then the rains came so the sight would change drastically by December....at least he shows that Casey did throw Caylee away as trash....bye bye Casey...


karen   June 28th, 2011 12:40 pm ET

I believe George Anthony is such a liar- his testimoney about his affair was soooo animated - saying he thought that was funny, just shows he has no respect . what is funny???? he is a witness for a death penalty case!! I think he is the father of little Caylee and he is a molester. He found the baby in the pool and told Casey to make up this whole story or she would spend the rest of her life in Jail - so Casey trusting her fathers judgement as a sheriff did what he told her
this case is so one sided- and so is the Judge and all the lawyers on the shows- why don't people just let Casey have a defense, after all , isnt she entitled to have a lawyer defend her.


P.J.   June 28th, 2011 2:19 pm ET

If I saw something white, that did not look likei it belonged there, and did not know what it was; but I did see a rattlesnake, dead oralive, I surely wouldn't go investigate.


jak kelly   June 28th, 2011 2:27 pm ET

with all the early talk of possible sexual misconduct by the Anthony men, It makes me wonder, has the paternity of the child ever been proven??


alfred leal   June 28th, 2011 2:35 pm ET

Lady comentator all wrong, she is not listening to testimony, on august area was flooded!!!


Virginia   June 28th, 2011 2:37 pm ET

Never mind Kronk didn't phone 911 right away.

What about Casey Anthony who didn't report her own daughter missing for 31 days!!


Pepina   June 28th, 2011 2:38 pm ET

Hilarious that NYC commentators are criticizing Kronk for not venturing, further, into a semi-swampy area; I grew up in Orlando and, I am a very brave soul, but would not even consider strolling into a place that harbored water moccasins, various, and very nasty, species of rattlesnakes and the pretty, but potentially lethal, coral snake. Trust me, you would be much safer on the J or L lines at 3:00 AM.


Lois   June 28th, 2011 2:41 pm ET

It is no wonder that people do not want to be involved with informing the police about anything. If what is going on right now with Kronke and the defense Lawyer. Bieze is something else when he can do the things like he has done to him.
I will add that I am from Canada and do not know any of the players in this saga.


darkyvader   June 28th, 2011 2:41 pm ET

Zar saying that Kronk is not believable is hideous. The man is rock solid and is leaving Cheny Mason standing there with nowhere to go. He was interested in the reward money. Aren't hosts interested in money who comment on the Anthony testimony? What does that have to do with Caylee being murdered by her mother. You want to talk about lying and a motive look at the Cindy Anthony testimony Zar. How do I change this channel to Trutv?


Sharon   June 28th, 2011 2:49 pm ET

I don't understand how all these people Casey's family, Kronk the meter reader has to do with the fact that Casey killed her daughter Caylee Anthony, I think the fact that Casey is a liar she doesn't
report Caylee missing for 31 days, she went out dancing while her daughter was missing, what mother would do such a thing. What I always thought was that Casey Anthony wants her freedom, and she would go all out to get it. I only hope that even if she doesn't get the death penalty she goes to jail for atleast 30 years without getting out on good behaviour. If that doesn't happen Caylee will not get justice.


Carol G.   June 28th, 2011 2:52 pm ET

I am watching the trail now . It is my opinion that so many innocent people have been dragged into Caseys sick world . Mr Cronk is now being crucified for trying to do the right thing by telling authorities what he saw.

Question ???? What ever happened to SWIFT JUSTICE ???? How can anyone remember each detail of what happened 3 years ago .

My heart and prayers go out to Cindy , George , Lee and all of those that have been drug through the mud .

We are all stunned by all of the details being told over and over in this trail . Can we even amagine how the family feels? I am thinking , perhaps this will take precedence for the way trials are handled in the future when this trype of circumstance is present . I am speaking from a mothers heart , I cannot even begin to amagine how devestated the family is, they lost their beautiful grandaughter and now they may lose their daughter also . * What would any of us do to save our child ?? I feel that WE are not in their shoes so how can anyone pass judgement on that family . WE all have disfunctional families of some sort . In conclusion: I feel that Casey used Chloroform supposedly to put Kaley to sleep and she gave her to much , hense killing Kaley . I honestly believe that Casey either put Kaley in the woods or lied her way into getting someone else to do it for her .

I am a Christian and I believe that all children before the age of accountibility Go To Heaven , Kaylee,s soul is there ...Praise God , Thank You Jesus .... Sincerely Carol G , Lakeland


Melody   June 28th, 2011 3:07 pm ET

I believe what Karen said is the truth. I think Mr Kronk and George Anthony is in this together. I think both of them are lairs. I believe Casey did not have anything to do with this. I know she maybe a lair but I don't think she is a killer. This Mr Kronk is a JOKE!!!!!. Like many of the people that has spoken for the state .


jim   June 28th, 2011 3:19 pm ET

kronk has no problems responding to the prosecutors....times of work....dates of hire....dates of moving to florida.....his reponses are very almost extremely fast to the prosectuion......his replies to the defense were I'm not sure and maybe and I don't remember???

he is lying for sure


Katarina   June 28th, 2011 3:52 pm ET

Question about the testimony of Roy Kronk today. Why did he take a picture of the dead snake in August? I heard that it was sold for 15,000 later . Did they ask him why he took the picture?


Kathryn Bauch   June 28th, 2011 3:55 pm ET

As Mr Dean just testified, the area in which they worked was very dense. How is it that Mr Kronk, who went into the woods to relieve himself, just happen to come upon the bag of remains? Also, who is Mr Kronk? Why did he move to Florida? Where is he from? His past?


Diane   June 28th, 2011 4:04 pm ET

So the defense is saying the Caylee accidentally drown in the family pool and George Anthony told Casey to make up a story. Then today with Roy Kronk's testimony we're to believe that he had they body for all these months and then disposed of her??? How does the defense connect those two things?? Is the idea to throw out as many bizarre incidents as possible??


Kathryn Bauch   June 28th, 2011 4:19 pm ET

Okay, now we have Mr Kronk's supervisor testifying that Kronk had to be sent home after work because he was so shook up over the discovery of the remains. Yet Kronk claimed that he walked back to the truck telling the crew that he found a skull, but the subject was diverted to the snake. There was a laugh, and they left. This man's testimony doesn't add up!


Mee   June 28th, 2011 4:23 pm ET

The baby died as a result of the whole dysfunctional family!


mee   June 28th, 2011 4:28 pm ET

Caylee died as a result of the whole dysfunctional family!


Kathy   June 28th, 2011 4:36 pm ET

First the grandparents failed little Caylee in life, now they are failing her in death. STOP defending that worthless monster of a daughter.


Butch Hatten   June 28th, 2011 4:55 pm ET

I believe that if George, Lee or Cindy murdered Cayle, Casey would have already thrown them under the bus.


J Sears   June 28th, 2011 5:05 pm ET

This may be a stretch but I suspect the way George Anthony responded to the question twice, if he had an affair with Krystal Halloway makes me suspect he may have an impotency problem.


Janet Fortin   June 28th, 2011 5:09 pm ET

How could that meter reader say he saw a skull on Aug 11th ?? Can a body decompose to a skeleton in 8 weeks ?


Janet Fortin   June 28th, 2011 5:15 pm ET

I believe Casey Anthony is Morally Empty !!


Lane   June 28th, 2011 5:30 pm ET

Roy Kronk is being evasive about something, he is lying about what he saw the first time, I think he knew what it was and didn't really want to share the information with police and media at that time on Aug 11, 2008, he had to think of what to do, I think he moved the body to another more convinent place to be found so as to get the reward money. Thats my theory. George Anthony is untruthful, Cindy Anthony is trying to help her daughter and don't know quite how to do it and she comes across as being untruthful. Lee Anthony is caught up in this and don't know which way to go, this is my opinion.


Sherry Gunter   June 28th, 2011 5:37 pm ET

Instead of holding competency testing on Casey Anthony....the judge should have ordered it for Jose Baez. He would have been found incompetent. This defense is all over the board. Most of what he is including in this case is useless and I hope the jury can see that. For example, the corrections officer today testified that Casey was pleasant and smiling most of the time when he made his rounds? OK...and we care about this why? Also, I thought Roy Kronk held his own today. Then the defense called his co-worker who testified pretty much the same as Roy. They did say today that a supervisor and another employee from where Cindy worked have been added to the witness stand. She is going to be proven to have been at work when the internet searches were done. This will be huge! Someone posted earlier that we should wait until all the evidence/testimony is in before we say Casey is guilty. I'm with Nancy Grace....that is BS!


karen   June 28th, 2011 5:39 pm ET

Hi its me again, I am with you Susan-- I have left comments over and over and I don't get them written-- what brother gets hysterical crying cause he wasnt told about his sister getting pregnant– what a joke, why don't everybody listen to the whole testimony, he stated he just could not believe it crying and crying, maybe thats cause when he asked who the father was, nobody told him it was GEORGE, the baby looks just him. he and CA were getting a divorce when all this happen geeeeee I wonder why??? this man is a molester and cheater and scum!!!
remember the memorial LA said CMA remember our secret!!
whats the secret??


Kathy C   June 28th, 2011 5:40 pm ET

Yes now that she is no longer dancing the nights away while her baby was missing – she does deserve a defense – unfortunately her defense team are as big a bunch of liars as her family – which is making her bad situation (that she got herself into) – worse.

Interesting that today the commentators spoke about the fact that TWO Cindy A coworkers are going to testify that she was at work although she claims she was making those cloroform searches at that time. NOTE: TWO – not ONE!!!

THIS IS A FREAKSHOW!!!!!


Sunny   June 28th, 2011 6:25 pm ET

I' d like to know why some of you people find it so easy to believe Casey's lies about an accident when she hasn't told the truth about anything else! Did you see Casey say WOW after her mother testified? She was surprised that her mother lied to cover for her. I do not believe George and Cindy had anything to do with this mess. Just trying to save their daughter's life.


Catherine   June 28th, 2011 6:56 pm ET

I have a theory. Caylees name is a combo of Casey & Lee ! "Caylee"

Maybe there was something up with Casey and her brother.


patty riley   June 28th, 2011 7:00 pm ET

Who cares if Kronk found the body, or who moved the body, who hid the baby in the first place? Who was the first to hide the body? Everything else doesn't matter. Someone is responsible for the death in the beginning and hiding the fact, get to the point!


Sunny   June 28th, 2011 7:10 pm ET

To Susan, They know what day Casey was dancing because it was when they had the HOT BODY contest. To Karen, Have you been following this case at all? George had a DNA test which proved he was not the father of Caylee. Casey does not know who the father is! First she said it was her previous boyfriend but he had a DNA test proving he was not the father so then she said it was deceased boyfriend, Can't prove that one is wrong.


MGB   June 28th, 2011 7:50 pm ET

First of all, Cindy is the liar in regards to the differing stories about the PI's search for remains. Cindy has already established herself as such with her testimony about the chlorophyll/form.
From what I have seen, Lee is the only one in that family that seems straightforward and truly in the dark about what really happened.
In regards to Casey's ex-fiance's testimony, I think Casey didn't want Caylee around Lee because she (Casey) had some sick crush on or fascination with Lee, and she would be jealous of any attention Lee would show Caylee.


Linda   June 28th, 2011 8:10 pm ET

How could Roy Kronk have seen the skull in August if he is saying that he picked the bag up in December and the skull fell out? How could he have seen it through the bag 4 months earlier??


susan   June 28th, 2011 8:43 pm ET

I agree with Karen about people being so one sided,even people doing the shows if you don,t agree with them they cut you off, some of them even now don,t think GA had an afair and poor GA again please don,t they know how molestors and rapist prey on the weak, GA already knew about the background of his mistress, he also has access to records since he,s A PI. this is why alot of girls and boys don,t speak up their abuser is usually A well respected person that no-one would think they would harm anyone , when are people going to wake up and realize this goes on every minute of the day,why is it okay to always drill the poor victim but don,t ask the perpatrator anything, look how GA has acted,


Andy A. Baton Rouge, La   June 28th, 2011 9:00 pm ET

A lot of talk in the trial about phone records, who spoke to who and when. Most of the "smart" phones today have GPS chips in them. Has anyone checked the phone GPS records of Casey or the rest of the family to see if any of them stopped in the area where the body was found??? Their phone companies should have these GPS records archived if their phones were so equipped.


Jeannie   June 28th, 2011 9:16 pm ET

I think the defense is putting on a dog and pony show and wasting the jury's time by badgering George Anthony and Roy Kronk and anyone else it has in its sights. How does any of this relentless questioning find Caylee's murderer?


avin   June 29th, 2011 1:31 am ET

why did George Anthony try to kill him self ?
If Roy Kronk move the skull , did the jaw fall off when he moved it?
And if it did he would have to put it back with tape. In one of the pictures I saw that Caylee was moving the sliding glass door , because there was a gap between the jam and the door, by then would she have had enough muscle to move that door. Roy Kronk said that he put tape on his stick for comfort did the police test that tape to see if that was part of the tape that was on the skull . I believe that some one in the family other then Casey, did it.


Dawn James   June 29th, 2011 9:45 am ET

Did anyone notice Casey Anthony's expression when her father said
"my granddaughter was missing. My daughter was the last person
I saw her with. one plus one is................." She looked as if he had
just told the jury. I believe she did it!


Kathy C   June 29th, 2011 10:10 am ET

Whoa!!! George and Bozo Baez are at it again! That Baez should burn for all the lives he has destroyed trying to save the pig's life!


Bea   June 29th, 2011 10:15 am ET

I have been watching the direct examination of George Anthony by Jose Biaz and am totally gutwrenched. Mr. Biaz and Miss Anthony should be ashamed of themselves and what they are doing to this poor man. If I was on this jury I would hold this against the defense and any leaning I may have had in thieir favour would be gone.Shamefull display.


Jim   June 29th, 2011 10:20 am ET

The Judge should let the witnesses answer, it appears his days of being a prosecutor is interfering with him being unbiased. When a person's life is on the line, the information should be heard. Ashton has brought the wrong charges against Miss Anthony. He can only object to everything and the judge is allowing it. If I were on the jury this strategy by the prosecutor would be working against the prosecutor. Let the evidence be heard and the jury decide!! George's answer to having an affair is laughable. He is being too defensive about everything, he's hiding something.


Paula   June 29th, 2011 10:27 am ET

George Anthony is guilty of sexual abuse toward Casey and possibly even Caylee. I don't trust him at all! Why DID he try to commit suicide? What was he afraid of people finding out about him?


Linda   June 29th, 2011 10:31 am ET

RELAX, You go George! My thoughts and prayers are with Cindy, George and Lee as they put up the not only the death of Caylee, continued lies of Casey and badgering of these incident victims at the hands of their own family member; Casey.


brenda   June 29th, 2011 10:50 am ET

Mr.Kronk had nothing to do with moving the body ,he just saw it and wasn't to sure if it was a skull,because the brain was still there but it was muss.Cythnia did lie for Casey,and it will come out....George is getting thrown under the bus,because Casey knows her father has figure her out.....Casey needs to go to hell forever.....We shouldn't care if he mess with that women( has nothing to do with the death of Cayle}I think her lawyers are stupid what a waste of taxpayers money.This trial better go all the way to find her Guilty!!!!! She should get more years for hurting other peoples lifes that got their name trashed........


Jean Near   June 29th, 2011 10:51 am ET

I seem to remember that when Casey and her mom had that last fight Casey told Cindy "you will never see Caylee again" That would seem to indicate premeditation. They have yet toexplain how the body got from George's arms to Casey's trunk. Also if Roy Kronk was so anxious for the reward why would he hide the body for four months?


Jean   June 29th, 2011 10:58 am ET

How come they don't show the taping of when George Anthony made a visit to Casey in jail and she expressed to him what a wonderful father and grandfather he is and was. And now she is accusing her father of playing part in the murder of Caylee Anthony. Casey makes no sense to me what so ever.


Delores Castoro   June 29th, 2011 10:59 am ET

How can a daughter put her parents thru what Casey is subjecting her parents to..... a person thinking only of herself and no one else.... could do that.
If it were I.....I think I would have to stop all this hurt to everyone involved by confessing it were was an accident ....and throw myself on the mercy of the court.


TerriS   June 29th, 2011 11:07 am ET

As George Anthony was testifying about who he was concerned about when they found little Caylee's body, he referenced his wife and his son Lee ... as I watched Casey making notations, I believe she wrote the word "daughter" and underlined it twice! Shows a lot of animosity she had toward her dad and maybe why she is showing no emotion ...


karen   June 29th, 2011 11:14 am ET

to Sunny-– FYI yes I have been watching the trial for 3 years and no they did not give George a DNA they gave it to brother LA
I ask you again what father goes into the delivery room and cuts the cord of his granddaughter SICK and why didnt George try to find out if their really was a father of Caylee that died in an auto accident, I am sure that GA had ways to find out if a man named Baker died in a auto accident when Casey told him he died, or wasn't it just important enough to find maybe Caylee had other grand parents the anthonys denied her of. Or maybe they knew the truth so why bother.
and once again what is the BIG SECret from the memorial CMA
and a older brother crying hysterical on the stand because he could not believe it!!! believe WHAT???


Sunny   June 29th, 2011 11:27 am ET

How can anyone say that GA is a sexual abuser from what was told by Casey who is the proven number one liar. He tried to commit suicide because he was distraught over the death of his grandaughter. Too bad her own mother wasn't upset! Some of you seem to forget that during the prosecution's presentation it was Baez who was making all the objections. Judge Perry is going by the law with his rulings.


Wayne in Indy   June 29th, 2011 11:32 am ET

He probably had the affair, but if you were faced with the fact that your daughter had murdered your grand daughter, you might commit suicide as well.


Susan   June 29th, 2011 12:23 pm ET

I am with Paula June 29th 10:27 am... George Anthony has lied every time he has taken the stand. I am tired of watching his tearless outbreaks. He does not even have to blow his nose. He better keep his day job cause Hollywood is not calling. He called everyone under the sun before his suicide attempt knowing someone would save him. I bet you Casey told him he needed to come clean when she was released from jail because she was not going down for murder. Any married woman who watched his testimony about not having an affair knows he was lying. A married man does not tell a woman she is needed in his life but he might say Cindy and I need all of the volunteers in our lives. He refuses to answer questions as they are asked to him instead he wanders all over the map. He acts like someone who very well could be an abuser and he continues to abuse his daughter trying to throw her under every bus that passes.


Janice Cornell (West Virginia)   June 29th, 2011 12:45 pm ET

I, have been trying to follow the trial as close, as possible–If I, was a jury member, I, would already have formed my opinion!!!!! Casey is guilty–
y heart breaks most for the Dad-
other and brother Lee–Caylee is gone and nothing can be done about that now, but she should be remembered, and that could be accomplished most by bringing the guilty one to light!!Casey Anthony in my observation, has no heart–I, cried today, June 29th. when her Dad broke down on the stand–She showed no emotions at all–She is heartless–I, pray that the truth wins!!!!!!


Vicky J   June 29th, 2011 12:50 pm ET

Has anyone notice while Mr. Anthony was being questioned Casey watched him as he answered. But when he was looking at her or he was leaving the stand she would keep her head turned and would make no eye contact with him.
He may have lied about things I don't know. I did not like something about him from the beginning. Today with the emotional day he is having As a grandpa my heart does go out to him, like him or not. But Casey.. She is nothing but discust to watch. Pure arrogance and guilt. I was waitng on Mr Anthony to break this mornining totally and cry out to her to please tell the truth, that they can not take this anymore".. I have watched many of your tv trials but t his one takes the grand prized..


karen   June 29th, 2011 12:59 pm ET

I would like to ask a question--
would you rather see a innocent person get the death penalty or a guilty person go free
because all you people don't even wait to hear all the evidence

WITCH HUNT !


Kotter   June 29th, 2011 1:18 pm ET

As an often molested person who managed to survive, I can tell you that Casey WAS NEVER MOLESTED. BY ANYBODY! What she has
been exposed to,is a mother who is every bit a manipulator and controller as Casey herself.THAT is where she learned to lie and twist
she had to so that she could survive her mother's wrath.And BOTH of
her parents know this,but cannot admit it to the world. In a fit of frustration,Casey killed Caylee,and could STILL not do the right thing.
She BELIEVED she could find a way out. She is unable to face it, or
she is truly a diabolical psycopath.She clearly has no feeling for her
family,to allow Biaz to come up with all this CRAP to put them through.
I don't care for Biaz,but he IS doing His job,as we should expect him
to do in our system.


kelly   June 29th, 2011 1:33 pm ET

She is so guilty, it makes me sick!! I think George and Lee are telling the truth in everything accept the George lied about the alleged affair with the Holloway gal! Cindy is just trying to keep her daughter from getting put to death!! I mean, that;s her daughter, and I think George has had enough of Casey's lying and manipulative ways and it is killing him to do it, but he's trying to be strong for Caylee. He definitely won the round this morning with Bozo!! Just feel so sorry for this family, i just wish she'd confess, but she's too caught up and struck on herself!! She will get what she deserves in the end!!!! Her judgment day will come!!!


Dawn   June 29th, 2011 1:36 pm ET

After this mornings testimony, Baez is cooking his own goose. He keeps getting deeper and deeper in the so called muck.. I think the only way is to put Casey on the stand and she will fry herself!.


Sunny   June 29th, 2011 1:54 pm ET

Oh come on Karen ....we have heard all the evidence!
All this is just repeating what we already learned.


jennifer watson   June 29th, 2011 1:57 pm ET

just want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the anthony family.. especially her parents and her brother... i feel soooo bad for them i couldnt imagine putting my family through such horrorific things... CASEY NEEDS TO GET WHAT SHE DESERVES!!!!!!! IF SHES INNOCENT GOD WILL ONLY KNOW.


Marie   June 29th, 2011 2:11 pm ET

The media is so against Casey that they can't see that this whole family is screwed. The Dad is not innocent his tears mean nothing. He is lying, Mon is lying and the brother is lying. Casey is also a liar and has a bad attorney. The whole family is involved. The state attorney has not proven anything. They have not proven who or how Caylee died. I would hate to put someone to death based on what they have said. How could anyone say she is guilty of first degree murder, based on the information we have recieved. I say there was an accident and a coverup and the whole family is involved in the coverup. Why did'nt Daddy just say, NO, I didn't not molest my daughter. He is a piece of work. He was crying because he had to get control of the situation he was losing control. Remember, this guy was a police office they are trained on how to testify. Don't feel sorry for Daddy he is the mastermind in this coverup.
This is a media WITCH HUNT. George has staged everything including the so call suicide attempt. Casey, well, Like Daddy, Like Daughter. Where do you think she got her lying from?
Don't believe the Media WITCH HUNT .


pam   June 29th, 2011 2:13 pm ET

The ex states casey doesn't want lee the molester near her baby. How come she doesn't exclude george the molester from visiting the baby


jackie branch   June 29th, 2011 2:14 pm ET

i think she is guilty but the judge is very one sided as well as the media i thot mediais for reportin what happened not tryin the case to help the prosecution. and they should remove ashtons chair he objects to every question is he hiding something


chris   June 29th, 2011 2:26 pm ET

I've been watching today and Casey really seems to be showing her true self, the defence should be telling her to act if though she's human.


Missi   June 29th, 2011 2:31 pm ET

I have been so obsessed with this trial, I can't get anything done!! This is something I have been wondering, who was Caylee's biological father & did he or any of his family ever see her, were they allowed or what?? I KNOW Casey is guilty of killing her daughter, I feel it in my gut!! She has destroyed her family in so many ways, I hope she rots in HELLLLL!!!!


Chris Lepinontis   June 29th, 2011 2:39 pm ET

i am listening to criminal experts my opinion so far is that 4 people are involved i suspect for marketing purpose the father George the gas meter guy the private investigator who handled the evidence are all in it together, Casey is trapped by her father.


Larry   June 29th, 2011 2:52 pm ET

I believe that the defense is going around in circles and waisting the taxpayers money they have no case and they are pointing fingers at anyone they can.sad situation


Aneesa   June 29th, 2011 3:10 pm ET

love how they twist statements - ridiculous! I think it is evil for Casey to turn on her family, as she did. I don't believe anything she has/is saying, not for a second. This whole trial is a waste of time because Casey sentenced herself when she started lying! Actually, she did it when she didn't report anything. After what she had done, it wasn't so surprising that she would put her family through all of this. I'm not a child anymore, so i know that not all people are good people, but I didn't know they could be this bad. She is just... cold! I don't, and never will, feel sorry for her. I'm afraid for her, there is a life after this one. But she wasn't thinking about life at all when it came to her daughter. They need to go ahead and put her on the stand, can't wait to hear "Casey's story".


Pam   June 29th, 2011 3:18 pm ET

I just cant believe George Anthony..I have survived sexual and mental abuse and I can so clearly see he is lying....it may sound to those of you that havent been through that...I understand why you think he is innocent....but for just one moment look at how his past police experience...He would have the knowledge and know how to cover up something that may just embarrass him. There were no real tears on stand today...I can cry just like that if need be...


Jim   June 29th, 2011 3:20 pm ET

Wasn't O.J. Simspson out of town too when they found his wife dead?
Did George take a play out of the O.J. playbook and be out of town when Caylee's remains were found?


Lucy   June 29th, 2011 3:25 pm ET

Reguardless of anything else, a person has to be a complete socialpath to watch her own father get up on the stand and cry with so much pain and not be heartbroken also. Didn't seem to bother Casey at all...no change of emotion what so ever except maybe a spark of glee. That is sickening.


Bonnie Owens   June 29th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

Well, we've all been waiting for the question of the trial from Jose Baez asking George about pulling Caylee from the backyard pool. It won't be asked, because Jose knows that his opening statement was a regurgitated lie from his client; he doesn't have any defense, so may as well go with something which will blame the family instead of Casey. Isn't our court system supposed to be about getting at the truth? Witnesses are sworn to tell the truth before they testify, under penalty of perjury. Doesn't the same standard apply to attorneys? Also, there was a reward for finding Caylee. Roy Kronk found her – why is that bad in Jose's eyes? Give him the reward, already. I feel deeply sorry for what Casey has put her family through. I hope her prison sentence is long enough to get her beyond childbearing age.


mary   June 29th, 2011 3:47 pm ET

I have seen alot of "morally bankrupt" people and have worked with drug addicts and homeless people, who have numerous mental challanges, however, I would have to think hard to find any of these poor and downtrodden or seriously addicted people who commit crimes because of their addictions, who would sit for months in a courtroom and put her parents through this outrage of the worst kind of betrayal – a daughter trying to save herself at the expense of her parents..

Casey Anthony and her "legal team" are displaying the true "morally bankrupt" people – themselves.


Jessie Grider   June 29th, 2011 3:55 pm ET

Hey All, I am thinking that Roy Kronk, during his work as a meter reader, perhaps saw Casey with a bag, going into the woods or coming out of the woods. I believe he knew exactly where to look for the body because he actually saw Casey going into the woods with a bag or coming out of the woods. He probably didn't know at the time there was a body in the bag. He probably just saw a lady and thought she was pretty and watched her.
Later after the child was missing and a reward was offered, he knew exactly where to look for the body. He probably did call his son to tell him about it, because he knew exactly where the body would be found. I don't know why anyone doesn't ask Kronk if he ever saw Casey going into the woods, near the woods, out walking near the woods, or with the bag. Or even driving in the area. Surely he saw something and remembered it later, that is how he knew where the body would likely be found.


Jessie Grider   June 29th, 2011 3:58 pm ET

I also think she was planning to kill her own parents. I see from other comments that I am not alone.

And yes, why would the family still be swimming in a pool if that is where the child drowned?


Wayne in Indy   June 29th, 2011 4:25 pm ET

I agree, the family is in a horrible position. The trial is not over, but facts are
1. Casey was the last person seen with Caylee.
2. She only reported her missing when forced too, after 31 days.
3. Casey was seen partying and buying beer (with stolen checks) the entire 31 days.
4. She then lied to police, parents, and search volunteers about Caylee being abducted, her job, nanny, .... for six months, until the body was found.
5. Many people smelled death in her car.
6. Whether it was murder or an accident we will probably never know, but Kronk nor George have any bearing on 1 through 5, no matter how Jose want's to spin it.

Jose might as well have claimed an alien abduction gone wrong. It would make as much sense as the defense story (which came from Casey).


Paula   June 29th, 2011 4:30 pm ET

The grief expert needs to explain the difference between losing a child from a sickness, accident etc. and the grief a mother experiences after killing her child. Why would there be grief when you kill your child?


Jill   June 29th, 2011 4:37 pm ET

I believe the reason Casey gives her dad such cold stern looks is because she is upset that he is not WILLING to take the blame for her, like her mother seems to be doing. This is the cause of her reacting to George the way she does, not because of sexual abuse, she expects him to step in front of the bus for her, and he is refusing to do it. Afterall, hasn't she always got what she wanted, why should this be any different. She doesn't want to have any consequences to her actions, and life to go on as normal for her.


leslie   June 29th, 2011 4:46 pm ET

People are wondering why Casey would remain stoic while her father broke down on the stand and then cry when the grief counselor spoke.

It's likely that Casey perceives her father as turning on her/seeing through her facade. In opposition, she believes the grief counselor is speaking about her, empathizing with her, and somehow explaining her behavior in a way that says "it's OK for her to act as she did." Perhaps CA thinks this woman is providing a sense of compassion that her family is not.


Ed LeGate   June 29th, 2011 4:48 pm ET

Casey, the crocodile called and he wants his tears back.


Jim   June 29th, 2011 5:00 pm ET

It's amazing how people see things differently. The "expert panel" always see's Ashton as ripping apart the defense witnesses. I see him as someone that looks like a fool. I wish I could buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.


Kathy Oylear   June 29th, 2011 5:12 pm ET

I am getting so frustrated with the commercials, or the time that could be used for commercials, they talk and rehash things they have already discussed. I wish when they go to sidebar they would run the commercial and let us hear some of the testimony instead of their opinions. Between the talking and the Attoney(prosc) interruptions it is almost to the point of waiting and watching the other channel in the am. I want to hear what the witnesses have to say.


Debra   June 29th, 2011 5:13 pm ET

Casey displayed the look of the devil throughout. Why is now that Caylee has drowned when she said the Nanny took her. Casey had someone help her and may they unknowingly threw out that bag by Casey's direction. I am in no way impressed by her tears at all. I have lost a child three years ago and there is not one day I still struggle to keep going let alone being a person charged in murdering my child. I could not be composed each day.


Kathy   June 29th, 2011 5:27 pm ET

I agree with Sunny, I feel so sorry for the Grandfather, but after seeing his testimony yesterday, I don't know how much you can believe him.


sarah   June 29th, 2011 5:33 pm ET

Vinnie

I agree with Sonny that George was not creditable on Tuesday with the mistress, today Wed. just was not convinced, just was not buying George today. So sad the whole family has years and years of enormous dysfunction, that cost them All there Caylee so so sad.


Jenny   June 29th, 2011 5:57 pm ET

Why don't they have someone hypnotize Casey Anthony to get the truth from her.


Linda   June 29th, 2011 6:24 pm ET

The self-inflated grief counselor was BORING!!! She and Casey deserved each other. Poor sweet, dear little Caylee who is being forgotten now among all this rubbish. SHE is the one that deserves justice!!!


Pamm Hurtt   June 29th, 2011 6:27 pm ET

Biaz needs to crawl back under the rock they found him, put it in the cell along with Casey. SHe may not get the death penalty but hopefully they will lock her sorry arse up for life, with no chance for parole.


a.   June 29th, 2011 6:28 pm ET

If I ever get in trouble, I would never have Baez for my lawyer! He's an idiot, or maybe theyr'e doing this defence on purpose. I think she has a strong case on appeal-INEFFECTIVE USE OF COUNCIL! I still think that after her father left for work, she came back and went swimming with her daughter and then went in for a nap and left the pool latter up ,she drowned in the pool and she panicked and being soooooo immature and afraid of what her parents would say, road around with her until she began ti smell and then put her in the woods.


Cathy   June 29th, 2011 6:36 pm ET

It sounds to me like some of the lawyers have gotten so mistrusting that they can't see real emotions anymore. Maybe some of the lawyers giving their opinions should take a break. What happened to George today was cruel, say and it just broke my heart. Casey is so guilty and I am sure the jurors see this.

I know my family has been through some hard times and you go through all sorts of emotions and trying to keep them straight, can be challenging to say the least. This is a family that has been destroyed by their daughter and you don't want to think your daughter could do such an evil deed, yet they still love her. And that does not make them dysfunctional.


Mary Ellen Holloway   June 29th, 2011 6:36 pm ET

I believe Casey Anthony killed little Caylee becasue she is a lying, sociopath,murderous cold blooded little witch who did not love her child, wanted the little girl gone, out of her life, which would leave Casy free to party al lthe time and woudlnt have to worry about having to come home for caylee, and she felt Little Caylee was just too much int he way of her "good times"I think she killed her, used the tape and chloroform to make sure she didnt breathe, that she looked ont he computer regarding how to do a "neck-breaking". My heart goes out to her parents and Lee. She deserves the death penalty if ever anyone did.
One thing that I havent heard anything about though, is this "Who is the bio father of littel Caylee or does she even know? Where is he and I would love to hear what he thinks of this whole deal..I am sure he would be devastated..does anyone know his wherabouts?Did he think she loved little Caylee when she was pregnant? Lots of questions that maybe he could answer..How she could perform sucjh a horrible act is beyong my comprehention. I lost a liitle girl, over 40 years ago, and there is still a big open hole in my heart to this day,
I hope there is truly justice for little Caylee!!!
As for s Casy goes, she can rot in hell!!


Holly Witt   June 29th, 2011 6:40 pm ET

Thank Goodness for the Tennis match or I would have missed this all. It all reminds me of OJ and his "getting away with it" Anyway, when George broke down today and I saw Casy sitting there stone cold as if dead I was appalled. Recently we had a murder/suicide where I live the husband broke into his wifes home and killed her and her two precious children and because the authorites showed up he shot himself, that was not his intent, he wanted to burn the home as fuel had been spread around the house, but he was stopped so he shot himself. Casey cried at the wrong time today, this "grief person" did not care whether she was guilty or not, course I thought she was a joke up there on the stand but anyway she did the defense no good. GUILTY!! She was young and did not want to saddled with a child, plain and simple...leave the poor parents alone, she is taking down a whole nation just as Steve from my town took down a 3 communities and more...


Ron in Mexico   June 29th, 2011 6:43 pm ET

Both George and Lee's DNA were tested as the Defense itself noted(Google it). Someone here is projecting her relationship with her father on George and Casey.


dlaurels   June 29th, 2011 6:53 pm ET

Of course, George Anthony does not like Biaz. He believes that Biaz is the one who came up with the molestation and drowning story because he doesn't want to believe that his daughter could be so evil. However, I believe that Biaz is only following what Casey Anthony wants. Casey Anthony appears to like watching some of her family members suffer - in particular George and Lee. I think that she probably killed Caley because she didn't like sharing the limelight with her daughter, and she wanted to punish her family. She knew by killing Caley that it would destroy her family. I would not be surprised if they put Cindy back on tomorrow to say Cindy suspected child abuse by her husband and Lee.


LN Lawrence   June 29th, 2011 7:03 pm ET

The evidence in this case is very strong: the 31 days alone speaks volumes, the decomposition smell in Casey's car, Casey was in possession of the car and her daughter and the last person seen with Caylee. Casey Anthony started out on her own being the person she is today, it is not because of any abuse she suffered. Some people are just born bad. (Remember Ted Bundy?)

The loss of this beautiful child is a tragedy and for the family, knowing that this little angel died at the hands of her mother is so hard to face. They are in my prayers. When this case is over and Casey is punished for killing Caylee, we will all go back to our lives but the Anthonys will live with this foreover. God bless them and I hope to God a retrial NEVER comes to be.


ellie landry   June 29th, 2011 7:23 pm ET

How about this for a thought... Cindy is wearing the pants all these yrs. And George has stepped back to keep peace in the house... This would xplain his affair ,someone finally listened to him and he just fell for it ,now this woman wants to continue on and he's finally realized what she is ... Sorry folks ,Little miss Cindy is very cunning her performance on the witness stand could have won her an Oscar,although I do believe her tears were sincere,but then she came back and proved her true self ,lies...Everyone has made her out to be the poor grandma ,well look past the four fingers and what do you see? a Very Good Liar !!!and who does that remind you of ? kC... I'm afraid the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I don't believe for a minute she was molested ,but she sure has all believing she was, by both father and brother...she would be the one to cover up for KC and George is the FALLGuy!!!


Mary C   June 29th, 2011 7:37 pm ET

I don't believe Jane has ever really been affected by a sociopath
like George Anthony, or she would be able to see through all the appearances of grief.
I totally believe the psychological expert that he is involved and that Casey Anthony was molested by him.
I know sociopaths that cry real tears.


Anonymous   June 29th, 2011 8:28 pm ET

Casey Anthony did kill her little girl, Caylee because she was jealous
of her. Casey's lawyer is doing everything he can to throw poor
George under the bus. George did not molest his daughter. Casey
figured it is the only way to make some people to believe her and to
feel sorry for her by lying about her father. How sad.


Dawn Lattime   June 29th, 2011 9:01 pm ET

To Paula, I don't think just because someone tries to commit suicide that makes them guilty of anything. I can't imagine why this poor man would want to commit suicide? let's see Grandbaby missing, His only daughter a killer in jail, people always at their home on the lawn telling him and Cindy their daughter is a baby killer( which by the way SHE IS), his bereft wife. Geez I can't imagine why he would want to kill himself (eyes rolling)


Cheryl Duerr   June 29th, 2011 9:49 pm ET

I don't believe I am the only one to notice this but I have not heard it brought up anywhere, including the trial. Roy Kronk stated that the first time he entered the woods he saw a white, round object that resembled a skull. This would mean that the skull was not in a bag but lying on the ground, uncovered. When he returned in December he said that the skull fell out of the bag when he lifted the bag. So if the skull was in the bag the last time he saw it, how did he see it the first time unless he opened the bag and looked.


kathleen from ma   June 30th, 2011 8:52 am ET

since the beginning i did not think casey just decided to murder her daughter,i do think it is possible that caylee did drown and her father was involved,first why wasnt george the one who called the police,he said that the car had a strong odor of decomp ,and with his daughter claiming his two yr old granddaughter is missing,now remember he did work in law inforcement.also in some jail visits between casey and her parents ,casey would tell cindy she is protecting the family that always puzzled me.and how about kronk, who stopped to go to the bathroom and seen a bag with what appeared to be a little skull in it,and gets the police out there but they come across a dead rattle snake while they were looking for bag and they all were worried there could be live ones around so they gave up,knowing that there been a missing child right in that area,so did kronk get over his fear of possible live rattlesnakes ,four months later he went right back and walked right in and found the bag again,i think something isnt right about his story ,there's alot of more questions than answers in this case.


Clair   June 30th, 2011 10:36 am ET

If Cindy Anthony or anyone else involved in this trial, committed purjury, then she/they should be prosecuted for it. You cannot have a law about purjury and then allow some people to get by with it while others are prosecuted for it. The law is the law.

Once a person has been caught committing purjury, they have proven themselves to be an unreliable witness and all of their testimony should be stricken from the record.


Sharon   June 30th, 2011 10:46 am ET

I think that this court case shouldn't be on tv because the press is really hindering this case everyone has to give their opinion, its not fair to the Anthony family they have been through too much already and what's the difference if George had an affair he didn't kill his granddaughter.


karen   June 30th, 2011 11:00 am ET

does anybody remember in the jail tapes , when GA told casey to get a pencil and request that she see just her father , GA was telling her what to say and how to do it-- he said he wanted to see her alone and off the phones were they could have privacy,_____ does anybody remember that???? why why why would he instruct his daughter to request to see him alone? GA is a snake ___ and forsaked his own daughter , cause he knew Cindy would go crazy with him and Casey for being in the house and her baby grand daughter got into the pool alone-- so to save face and not get brutallized from Cindy the control freak , he told Casey what to do about this horrible accident and he would help her, but he threw her under the bus to save his own butt


Ed L   June 30th, 2011 11:20 am ET

If i ever want to go fishing I will ask Jose Baez to be my fishing guide. How many people bury their pets in bags? Holy cow only the Anthony's? Of course NOT.


Erika   June 30th, 2011 11:21 am ET

Wondering... in the beginning of the trial they talked about how body fluids coming out of the mouth and nose. Could it be that is why the tape was over the mouth?


Ed L   June 30th, 2011 11:24 am ET

31 days a little girl is missing. Mom says nothing. Little girl found tossed out like trash. Mom knows nothing. Sounds good to me. Let her go. Give her a free trip to Never Never Land and hope she enjoys the trip.


Helen   June 30th, 2011 11:52 am ET

Today's testimony by Krystal Holloway seem to me to help the prosecutions side way more than the defenses side. Her tears are for herself, not for anyone else. She is obviously in this whole thing for the fame, not because she is a moral person. I honestly DO NOT believe George had sexual relations with this woman because she is not even in Mr. Anthony's class. I believe he was connected to her just because she was present during a very hard time in the lives of the Anthony family.

George, Cynthia, and Lee all put another nail in Casey's coffin as their testimony just showed the jury how Casey learned how to dispose of a dead body, but it did not prove to me that anyone other than Casey placed her child in the plastic bags. Further more I think that Mr. Baez is wasting his breath talking about duct tape all the time. So what. A lot of people use and have duct tape.

I was molested by a family friend and was sexually assaulted by older siblings. I can spot a child molester or sexual abuser a mile away. I have gone through tons of counseling and was even hospitalized for a week when my first child was 8 months old. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and take my medicine faithfully. I went on to raise my two children as a single parent from the time my children were 2 years old and birth. I would never hurt my children, nor would I leave my children in the care of anyone that I even remotely suspected to be a child abuser. Therefore, I can't see Casey leaving her daughter with George or Lee. George Anthony is not a child molester or abuser in anyway. I think Lee and Casey may have had some inappropriate relations, but I don't think anyone other than Casey Anthony killed and disposed of her childs body.


Mary Jo   June 30th, 2011 12:26 pm ET

Is Jose Baez insane? is anyone supposed to believe that George Anthony buried that baby as he did his family's DOGS??? This attorney is making a mockery not only of the criminal justice system in this country, but of the life and death of a child. I can't figure out if he actually believes this pathological liar or if he is as sick as she is. we have seen him parade every tom, dick and harry through this court, offering ridiculous testimonies, non of which were believable, and he has slandered the innocent, ruining many lives. i believe that casey anthony has a crush on jose baez and when this trial is over, she is going to accuse him of something horrible just as he has done to those he has dragged into this tapestry of insanity...


Molly   June 30th, 2011 12:30 pm ET

Anyone who has ever had sexual relationships with someone else knows certain intimate things about that person that only other sex partners may know. My ex-husband and I had a certain word for sex, but he also used this word with his former wife and with his wife after me. You may also see things on their body that nobody but the family doc knows about such as moles, scars, etc. If this River woman has had sexual relations with this woman, she should be able to identify certain things about George. Can that be brought up in court?

The River woman just wants her ten minutes of fame. Of course she wanted to testify in this TRIAL OF THE CENTURY. I want to testify too. I would love to go down in history as knowing I testified in such a case. Don't you think she knows she'll get more offers from the media now.

The reason George doesn't answer Jose's questions directly is because of the way Jose asks the questions. He is good at asking two part question, but only wants one part answered. For example he asked George, When you had intimate relations with Ms. Holloway didn't you tell her it was an accident that snowballed out of control. If he answers yes he said that...the jury may think he is saying yes to the intimate relationship.

So what if George had an affair. It doesn't matter what others may or may not have done. I thought the trial was about finding out if Casey is guilty or not of murdering her child.


Sharon   June 30th, 2011 12:39 pm ET

Also I don't know why they didn't bring up today when they talked about their animals dying, that a friend of Casey's said when an animal of Casey's or her friends animal dies, they bury them in the same place where Caylee's remains were found.


Tee   June 30th, 2011 12:52 pm ET

I hope when Casey goes to jail, she will think long and hard about how she has hurt her parents. Her attny will be the only one who will visit.


sharon   June 30th, 2011 12:55 pm ET

Oh, I have to add one thing............

I wonder if George and Cindy will finally get a divorce after this is over......I would.


Carol   June 30th, 2011 12:57 pm ET

I am a grandmother and I don't think we will ever know all the answers because Casey doesn't even know what is a lie anymore since that is all she has done for so long...but as far as George is concerned...no one will ever convince me that that man pulled his baby granddaughter out of a pool and tried to cover it up. he would have started CPR and immediately called 911. I will never believe he threw her out in that field to rot


Rose Reid   June 30th, 2011 1:29 pm ET

I think this: Casey never really bonded as Mother & child, as Cindy was the care taker of all and in charge (you do this or else) she and her husband took care of Caylee, she was a sister to Casey not child.
Yes Cindy put ladder away,but started new job Casey was supposed to go to work. She left house w/child, thought Daddy went to work, went back put ladder up told caylee take a nap and we will go swimming, in meantime Daddy bear came home, either lit in to Casey, why aren't you at work screaming etc. or maybe molesting her , who knows and small terrified child left the house went to pool and then George who knows then he is involved as well as Casey had to start figuring out what to do, being in law enforcement, I'm sure he knew a few not so nice guys who might help him, or maybe son Lee who may not be so bright and always trying to please helped dispose of the baby Caylee. Could be. Hey Daddy lies, daughter lies


Sunny   June 30th, 2011 1:51 pm ET

I remember that thing where GA told Casey to get a pencil.......The reason he told Casey to request to see him alone is because the authorities told her she could have only one visitor the next day and Casey told George she wanted it to be him because
she didn't want to deal with her Mother's questions anymore!


ellie landry   June 30th, 2011 2:15 pm ET

This is such a mess...no one will ever know the truth about any of this...We can all come up with reasonable xplanations ...BUT... There are no truths from almost everyone involved in this case... So , where do you go from here ? Do you believe KC or do you believe Baez opening accusations at G.A. These lawyers of KC have basically accused every states witness of having something to do with the death of Caylee , did they prove reasonable doubt? They definitely destroyed G.A. Name ,Lee A. Name Through the Sexual accusations, they labeled Kronk as an immoral bankrupt individual, even if one would feel this is true, of these people,they have truly been labeled for the rest of their lives... Baez didn't like any one saying anything about himself or the way he was handling this case, but he was right up front to accuse without any proof, labeling these witnesses, I don't know about you people reading this, but I feel he was completely out of line... Does anyone feel the same? And then we have the Cindy A. She proved how underhanded she really is... Again the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...


Andy A. Baton Rouge, La   June 30th, 2011 2:15 pm ET

Jose Baiz has done it again..... Cindy testifies that she looked up Chloroform on the family computer (probably a lie) and takes a little of the heat off Casey. Now Baez wants that thrown out. I've had pet rocks with more active brain cells!!!!


Sunny   June 30th, 2011 2:17 pm ET

Evidence you say?
didn't report for 31 days,smell in car, abandoned car, borrowed shovel, partied after Caylee went missing, computer searches, fake Zanny the nanny, lies, lies, and more lies.


Joyce Pasini   June 30th, 2011 3:02 pm ET

This is a high profile case and I just cannot understand how such inept and unprepared counsel for the defense could/would be allowed in this case. I just cringe when I see Baez make faces when opposing counsel makes arguments. What rock did he come out of?


karen   June 30th, 2011 3:38 pm ET

no if I remember , GA said I want to see you alone so we could talk and Casey said I tried , and that is why he told her how to do it. and told her to get a pencil– he told her she could requests this-and she told him she will try-because he knew all the jail conversations on the phone were being taped

do you ever remember him telling casey he wanted to hold her


Wanda Pitser   June 30th, 2011 4:33 pm ET

Casey Anthony is a typical case of a person with a sociopathic personality. People with this disorder do not have a concience or recognize good from evil. Our prisons and jails are full of sociopaths.
This is a very disfunctional family, full of lies, secrets and disceptions.
They are very selfish individuals, whose main goal is to satisfy their own selfish needs.


Allen Eastcott   June 30th, 2011 5:54 pm ET

This reminds me of another trial a short time ago, where a black man highjacked a car and took the babies. Never happened. In the end it was the young mother that killed the little ones, and she had put her car in the lake with the two babies still in there seats. These mothers that have babies and kill them are obviously missing something upstairs. NO different than Domer. They blame anyone, and in her case, the parents. She will not get the death penalty, because there will be one juror that will relate in some way and Casey Anthony will end up getting three squares, lots of tv, and no responsibility for the rest of her life. So in the end she is going to carry on as she had in the past other than instead of her parents carrying her, it will be the state. jmo


Sonia   June 30th, 2011 6:00 pm ET

Wow, what a trial! I missed two appointments because I couldn’t stop watching HLN. When George cried, I cried! And cried! And Cried! He may have had an affair but he loved his granddaughter.

I think that the defense was absolutely terrible! Bad! But what can you do when there is so much evidence against your client! She is so guilty and she is heartless!

Justice for Caley! Yes! Casey is not a “tot mom”. Mom is a term of endearment!


brenda   June 30th, 2011 6:06 pm ET

Come on George might had affair.. But who cares !!! A man want say yes, to that !!! Casey killed Caylee all by herself, and dumped her out like she was trash... Please ... I hope she gets Life ,if she can't get death...Then her lawyer Biaz needs to lose his licenses.The other one needs to retire and the women needs to go to the hairdresser..Melody- Roy kronk and George didn't know each other, and he just moved from another state a few months before this all took place. He didn't live in their town he lived a town over.....She drug Caylee and put her in the trunk to sleep while she went out to party and drink..When she went to get her out she was dead...So she did what she did with her pets....Then came up with a story....That trashed alot of peoples lives....Her lawyer helped do that too !!! I believe he is sorry in so many ways, I won't want him......


gigi   June 30th, 2011 7:58 pm ET

I believe george and cindy should have some charges brought up against them foe all the lies and hidden facts they hide. they are all changeing their stores. george took her from the pool dead , being an ex- cop he never reported it. cindy now saays she did all the look ups on the computer not casey. george molest casey all her life but never reports it.

the meter reader knew the remins where there. i believe he moved them for casey for sex and reward money.$ 15,000.00 for pictures he took.

george & cindy are making money off their dead grandbaby, for move and book rights. selling pictures and tee-shirs. come on people !! they are all quilty ..... they all need charges.....


DK   June 30th, 2011 8:49 pm ET

Cindy saying she was home isn't good for the defense because then how could George have been able to hide the body and tell Casey " look what you did"? That family is a train wreck!! And caseys team isn't doing her any favors


Jim   June 30th, 2011 9:38 pm ET

how could casey have picked up 30 pounds of dead weight wrapped caylee in trash bags and duct tape her, move her to the trunk of her car and dump her body 30ft into a wooded area by herself. how much does casey weigh? 105 pounds casey did this all alone with nobody watching or noticing she was struggling with the bag?

REALLY!

My jury vote: Not Guilty George is a complete liar. How do you cry uncontrollably and then immediately turn off the tears when Baez gets to question you again. One big show George and you lose. You said in your suicide note Casey should not be where she is and you need to be with Caylee, why, if you had nothing to do with her death.


Caroline   July 1st, 2011 12:35 am ET

Don't you think it strange that when George went to get the car, he brought a can of gasoline claiming he always did this because from past experience he "assumed" it would need gas. Also, if that had been "my" child's car and I smelled the unmistakable odor of death, after a quick look inside, my next reaction would have been to race to the trunk and open it. He rolls down the windows and after realizing the car needs gas, goes and gets the gas can. Also, they sent him several notices before he actually went out to get the car. I am not convinced he is such a wonderful guy. I believe he has a very dark side.


Ed L   July 1st, 2011 9:59 am ET

Wonder what the Vegas odds are on her getting the death penalty? My guess is she dosen't get death. Life (without parole) would be fitting. Yes, her only visitor would be mmmm Elvis? River Cruz? I hope Caylee visits her every night.


mia   July 1st, 2011 9:59 am ET

All the defence needs is someone like me on the jury- I could tell from the first time G. Anthony tried to deny his affair it was a lie. I also think that man is lying about not having something to do with Caylees death. He is not innocent.


sharon   July 1st, 2011 10:08 am ET

Just look at the facts......not personal opinion:

Car smelled like death...

Casey not reporting the death....to anyone for 31 days....

All the lies she has told....

Her "pretend" people....

Her partying right after the death....

Sleeping and watching a movie with boyfriend the day Caylee died....

Her obvious hatred of her mother and father...

Her jail tapes, especially the one where she tells her father what a great father and grandfather he was....

Keep your eye on the ball.....Baez is just trying to use a smoke screen and muddy up the water, so it will confuse the jury...

Facts are facts...


mia   July 1st, 2011 10:09 am ET

I'm glad to see that there are a few people who think what i think- that Caseys father George seems just as guilty if not more than casey herself. An ex cop???? I've seen how some cops treat their family- militant with twisted anger- creating a home of fear and lies


mia   July 1st, 2011 10:17 am ET

George cried because he feels guilt- not from sadness. He got his hand caught in the cookie jar and now he is sad he got busted. He should be ashamed for sleeping w any woman other than cindy, especially during the loss of caylee- but no- he's out getting his rocks off while cindy is really looking!!! I'm sick of everyone making excuses for him- I can tell he has something to do with his daughters hate towards him.


Beverly   July 1st, 2011 10:39 am ET

I can't even imagine the horror the Anthonys have been living these past few years. In my opinion, the Anthonys are the ones telling the truth. I am sick of hearing all the "experts" giving their opinions. George is quilty of abuse because he looked down before answering? Pease!! I think he had to stop himself from jumping out of the box and punching that idiot defense attorney. Cindy "lied" about being out of the office? Anyone in nursing knows our time cards can only reflect what management will permit. As it is against labor laws to not pay overtime, or not provide meal breaks, management fills out the cards. They will provide "records" to "prove" when staff was present, not the actual hours worked. Everyday I work a minimum of 9 hours, and only get paid for 7 1/2, and there is no meal of coffee break. When all is said and done, Caylee was "missing" for a month, and Casey partied. If Casey didn't kill her, who did?


Ernie   July 1st, 2011 11:23 am ET

Defense said, FOLLOW THE DUCT TAPE. Everyone seems that the duct tape trail stops with what the prosecution said happens. Take a look at these two points.
1. Roy Kronk moved the Skull tape could have been moved also.
A either the skull fell from the bag or,
B. he moved it with a stick.
2. FOLLOW THE DUCT TAPE, The pets were bury in two trash bags "TAPED" together. The tape fell off the bag and the skull landed on it.

Lets look at CINDY AND HER WORK SCHEDULE. Anyone that was a superviser or on salary that does their own time card knows it does not really follow a true schedule. If a salary employee needs to work through lunch then some tiimes bosses say to just show the time as regular time and leave. If a president comes down to Florida from Georgia did he come down on the two days in question? that would be the only way he/she would be able to testify truly that Cindy was there.


Irv Crouse   July 1st, 2011 11:24 am ET

My comments come in two parts: 1. A take on the guilt or innocence off Casey Anthony and 2. the Channel commrntators. (1) My take on the trial is that Casey will be found 'not guilty by reason of insufficient evidence. Could it be that George Anthony came home, found the doorway to the pool ajar, looked out and found and found little Caylee floating in the pool. He panicked, took her little body to the place where it was found. From that time the trial took its twists and turns to where it is today. (2) When is news to much news. The constant prattling of 'would-be' lawyers, with the exception of the professional ones with more legal intrepretations, was more of a distraction than informative.


Ken   July 1st, 2011 11:39 am ET

and I Feel the whole family act Selfish...


Ken   July 1st, 2011 11:54 am ET

I feel Bad For Cindy.


Leila   July 1st, 2011 11:58 am ET

Perhaps when Cindy's pets were groggy and sleepy, it was not because of the bamboo, but Casey "testing' the affects of chlorophyll on animals before she did it to her daughter!!


jaytee rogers   July 1st, 2011 12:06 pm ET

I was wondering why the defense did not call the sheriff that was fired after the Kronk incident. Did Kronk tell him exactly where the skull was and did the Sheriff actually got to the area that Kronk stated.Kronk stated that the skull was visible at 20 or 30 feet. Would not the sheriff be able to spot this skull as stated or had Kronk moved it before the sheriff got there. This is a Question that ponders me. Kronk plainly stated that you could see it from 30 feet. Why couldn't this sheriff see it. I think it was moved to a different location or Kronk showed him a different area on purpose but either way he should have takened them where kronk showed him. My other question is George does have a mean temper and off and on again anger but who doesn't. the suicide note is all fishy to me and one who wants to really commit suicide does it. I believe this was a well planned out event to stir the media away from the actual truth and that I truly believe George knew how the death happened. Why would any man kill himself over a grand daughter just does not make sense. Wife, daughter, son but grand kid come on doesn't add up and I believe the Jury will see through this.


Ernie   July 1st, 2011 1:00 pm ET

Hi Back again,
Let me close the case for the Defense.

Little Caylee went in and woke grampa to go swimming. Grampa took her out swam for a little bit. Grampa saw Casey inside the house so he wanted to talk to her. He took Caylee inside with him and started an arguement with Casey. Caylee tried and tried to get grampa to take her out but failed, so she went out on her own. Remember grandpa already had her out so she went up the ladder got in the pool. Grampa and Casey arguing noticed Caylee was not there so began looking. Casey one way Grampa out the back by the pool. Casey comes around and finds Grampa with Caylee in his arms. He is angry and upset. He yells at Casey. Threatens her, tells her to go and do what they always do when a family member dies (Cindy said the pets were like a family member. What they may have done in the pass was to remember only the good and rejoiced in the good life (back tattoo). George buried Caylee in the back yard. Later he woke up to the fact that that is not a good place. He calls someone that owes him from something in OHIO (Kronk). Gets a hold of Casey's car and lets Kronk use it. Kronk takes the body.

I am not Mike Brooks or Vinnie Politan. I just like to go with the oddball stuff.


jaytee rogers   July 1st, 2011 1:27 pm ET

George Anthony was in Law enforcement for 10 years in Ohio. And I believe that he has seen quite a few of suicide cases on how they were done. And for and officer to botch a suicide does not make creditable testimony to the courts. My gut feeling is that he knows more then we give him credit. They are trained in areas of deceit and lies from witnesses so I believe he could easily lie and make it convincing just like Casey did for 31 days after all the whole family are good in deceiving the lawyers. Could they be joining forces to make huge profits on book rights and TV rights from the misery that the courts and TV have done to them . You never know what goes on behind closed doors.Especially from ones who do not even care about the lies they tell in front of millions of people. just thoughts


Vicki Ryan   July 1st, 2011 2:08 pm ET

After hearing all the animal deaths in the family I'm beginning to believe that Casey was practicing with the Cloroform on the animals. Cindy said that they were acting lethargic and they sure have lost lots of pets. I believe we have a serial killer in the making


Teresa Williams   July 1st, 2011 3:01 pm ET

Casey is responsilbe for the welfare of Caylee.If was accident or not.
She's quilty for the death of her child. Rather she did it or not. seems like everybody is forgetting about the poor angel thats gone. show some respect spectators.It's not a circus, Teresa W. Lafayette,Ga


Tj   July 1st, 2011 3:01 pm ET

The jury is sequestered that means they don't go home on the weekends. The judge is trying to get the trial over for their benefitT


Sunny   July 1st, 2011 3:20 pm ET

I feel sorry for Cindy because she just wants to prevent her daughter
from the death penalty.
I feel sorry for GA because his daughter has turned against him.
I feel sorry for Lee because his sister lied about him too.
I feel sorry for Casey because.......OH – NO I DON"T!


Ogre   July 1st, 2011 3:38 pm ET

Why hasn't the defense brought up the fact that with Firefox, if you save tabs when you log off, the computer will pull up those sites every time someone logs on. This will also happen if there is a query from the search engine. This will happen until you clear the tabs which is a normal thing to do periodically.


Marilyn Biddinger   July 1st, 2011 3:48 pm ET

I am so tired of hearing about the jury "forgiving" Cindy Anthony for her lies and hostility on the stand because she is just a "mother trying to save her daughter." It seems that lying to protect Cindy's daughter runs in the family. Cindy lied to protect her, Casey lied to protect herself. Like mother, like daughter. When will someone in this family tell the truth for Caylee?


Joan   July 1st, 2011 4:52 pm ET

I believe that Casey had plans to kill her parents when she did the computer searches. One of her former friends testified that Casey told her on two different occasions that she could move into her parents house with her because her parents were moving. I believe Caylee told Cindy something that Casey didn't want her to know, so Casey put the duct tape on her mouth in a fit of anger while saying "this is what happens when you talk too much". I also believe Biaz was so sure that George would take the blame that he geared his defense of Casey around proving George's guilt. His first words to George on the stand were:"You would do anything you could to save Casey wouldn't you". He is really mad at George for not taking the blame and has done everything he can to destroy George in ways that have nothing to do with defending Casey. In my opinion he is no better than Casey.


Gloria Penney   July 1st, 2011 5:06 pm ET

Why would a mother cover up for there daughter who has not been telling the truth. Why because it is her daughter???? No!!! Someone took the life of your grandchild. Your child her/him should go to jail not put to death that is easy they should suffer in jail till the day they die.Remembering what they did. I would never cover for my child if they did a crime like this.


smccartney   July 1st, 2011 5:08 pm ET

This case is heart breaking. A family has been torn apart forever. Although I feel Casey is 100% guilty and is a liar, I do not feel that her parents are completely to blame for her character.It is unfair to lay complete blame with them. It is obvious that the family is dysfunctional, but Casey made the decision to take the life of her precious little girl on her own. The allegations she has made against her father and brother are mind boggling. She is a very scary individual.


sylvia m   July 1st, 2011 5:55 pm ET

please dont kill casey.make her do hard labor and community service for the next 20 years. leave george alone.only one who cares that he cheated is cindy.i dont blame her for lying.would do the same for my daughter.thankou baez for getting her in trouble.lee prob. got that going when he spoke with him. ashton you are my hero


Teresa Cooper   July 1st, 2011 11:33 pm ET

I just watched where Cindy Anothony's Lawyer said she never said that she searched on those pacific dates that the coliform was but the experts now exactly when those words where searched.....so how can he claim that she is telling the truth when on the days that the coliform was searched she was at work. She's claiming that she doesn't remember the dates but the experts know the dates the search was done. She's lying.


susan   July 2nd, 2011 9:00 am ET

I,m with jaytee on the suicide, I thought it was odd first you go get A gun and your going to use it to find out information on Caylee, with-in that day you go to motel room to commit suicide yet you call everyone and their brother and as A former Cop you know if only just one person calls police to say their worried about A suicide the Police will be right there, bet he wrote note before calling, Oh by the way should,nt he have just went to mistress maybe that could have calmed him down, I can,t believe how selfish he comes off , he acts like only he lost someone,what about his wife and family, and if someone really wants to just commit suicide they just do it with-out all this other drama ,So when commentators keep saying if really had something to do with Caylees death he would have put in suicide note,,Because he was never planning on it


Nick   July 2nd, 2011 3:01 pm ET

I also found it odd and it appeared to me as if Casey actually had to be coached and prompted to tear up when it was appropriate. She managed to remember to look away when the remains appeared but her female defense counselor clearly pulled Casey closer to her when the animal mutilations were addressed. That girl is dead on the inside. A death penalty will only result in catching the rest of her body up with her spirit and cold heart. I'm rarely in favor of capitol punishment. I will not begrudge a life sentence if that is what the jury decides, either. One way or another, that girl needs a wake-up call and she not only killed her child but the spirit of an ENTIRE family without compunction! Judge Perry has been guiding this process along with the wisdom of Solomon. I admire his patience. The commentators who are bellowing in favor of the defense are as repugnant to me as Biaz and that shameful defense and team he assembled. He is well beyond too arrogant to ever realize the harm he did to his client, his own reputation and perhaps his future carreer. His blunders are more likely to make him famous than any hope of his client's acquital. When the best a defense can hope for are lesser charges in a child's death– no one has been properly served. If the verdict is guilty, this will make the way he went about losing the case and his ineffectiveness especially terrible. He took a family's darkest hour and amplified it - for nothing with horrible accusations, revealing unneccessary personal information and laying unfounded scenarios toward a family in crisis. In any other setting, this would be slander and it should also be actionable before it is used carelessly and with reckless abandon in an open court. Of course, this is only my opinion.


Corey   July 2nd, 2011 4:27 pm ET

If the brother Lee Anthony sexually abused Casey why did she name her daughter (Cay-lee) = Casey + Lee Anthony????????


brenda   July 2nd, 2011 7:50 pm ET

Erine] That's a good one ..ha ha Beaz should had used that one.... Casey did this all on her own,,,No one helped her...I believe she used the choroform that she made on the dogs, to see if it works.... I believe she is a killer, and killed her pets when she was little, that's why they had so many...I know the first one was old Cindy had her for along time,,, But when she turn 10 she was jealous of the pets..and this time she was jealous of Caylee...I hope she gets what coming to her, death or life even 50 years would make me happy......


Jane Compton   July 2nd, 2011 8:42 pm ET

why has no one addressed the issue of a hung jury?? And you have not adequately talked about the other sentences that Casey could be charged with.


Jan Drake   July 2nd, 2011 10:35 pm ET

First of all I have not been watching this long at all. I do not have all the facts. But intuitionally because I am an intuitive. *I think this was an accident. I think she loved her daughter and something happened. An accident happened. I wonder if the chlorophil or form was maybe for someone else. Like maybe she really wanted to get rid of her father. But she cannot say this because then it would be another premeditated murder. She does however keep going on about how he molested her. So she is trying to tell us that this is who she is mad at. Not the baby. You see? He is the target. And something happened to the baby and I think even this father may have been the one who wrapped her up and put her somewhere. he helped his daughter do this. They were too scared to tell the police that they had an accident with Caylee. He was an x-cop and he thinks that the police will think they murdered her. So they could not tell about the accident and just hid the body. He then wants to commit suicide because he now really knows he did the wrong thing. Like the girl friend said it snowballed and got out of control. As far as Casey partying. It is proven in psychological studies that when someone has a loss they do crazy things. Partying, shopping, lots of sex lots of food. I know, for both my parents deaths I went shopping. alot.


Jan Drake   July 2nd, 2011 10:50 pm ET

Hi again, I have read quite a few more posts here to get more facts on the case. I don't know much just the few days I have been watching,. I really feel she did not kill her baby here. I am trying to call in but it is so busy. I feel like one woman before me. There was an accident with the tape over the mouth because she could not stand her baby crying or asomething. She put her out with chlorophil to sedate her s all. Because kids can be so demanding and with Caseys profile of her abuse she would not have alot of patience. But she made a huge mustake because a child wil die with both of these things and if in the heat. So she did not know what to do here and had to do all of these things. She was panicked. She made some terrible mistakes and it killed her daughter. But she did not try to kill her. She was just a bad mom here.All ahe had to do was go to the police with this at the beginning and tell the truth. But the father found out finally and told her waht to do. They had to pretend that the baby was then taken and putin the swamp to make it look like a murder and kidnapping. Very wierd. In the meantime Casey is trying to tell the courts that her Dad was a molester because she has no way of telling the truth. This is her out. She is trying to defend herself this way. This is just what first comes to mind to me. I don't feel she should get the death penalty. But maybe manslaughter from child abuse. Sincerely, Jan


Frank   July 3rd, 2011 10:43 am ET

How come no one is commenting about Cindy and George sitting away from each other during the closing arguments?


Denise   July 3rd, 2011 11:20 am ET

People keep making a big thing out of her mother not taking Casey to a OB/GYN until she was 19. Being the mother of a grown daughter, I don't see that as a problem. Many girls are not taken until they are about that age.

If the girl is having problems, she should be taken before 19, but if she is healthy, there is no need for her to go until she is a young adult.


Lyndel Osborne   July 3rd, 2011 11:52 am ET

I am watching closing arguments in the Anthony trial. I was interested, alert and comprehended all the points the prosecution made. Now, with the defense closing arguments they have lost me within the first 30 minutes or less. It is NOT orderly or comprehensive to me in the least and and seems to have no logical progression! Even if Casey were to be innocent I don't believe her defense team has made any excuse for her behavior. They actually seem to have no idea of where they have taken the so called "defense". I admit, my personal opinion of Casey is of guilt but God help me if I'm ever arrested for a crime and this defense team is the only available. Shame on the defense. I don't know if they are incompetent or just plain stupid. Oh... I admit I haven't heard the entire trial but I've never heard the method by which Mr. Anthony "attempted suicide".


Lynne   July 3rd, 2011 12:15 pm ET

I hope you are all watching as casey is preparing herself to cry at the drop of a pin... As baez starts his closing Casey is doing her wide eyed stare into space to get those false tears ready as she can
Not produce any sincere tears since she hasnt got an ounce of feeling except ,for the fear of her own death or life in prison SAD ISN'T IT!


Bre   July 3rd, 2011 12:25 pm ET

I have watched this trial all unfold. I dont think Casey will have a beautiful life after what she has done. I know that there are people in jail or prison for thier child missing to much school. omg,, what does she think she is doing ? taking the life of her child.Its so sad. I just want justice for Caylee. Its just the results of a jealouse , lying, deviuse, woman that thinks she is too pretty to go to jail or prison.. She is smart,,, I have to give her that. Judge Perry is smarter ..JB is doing the best he can for a liar, but she lies to him too. Got a lot of people fooled,,. not me...


Kevin   July 3rd, 2011 12:41 pm ET

Dosen't anyone remember the Susan Smith Case??? She murdered her children for a better life and than lied, lied, lied to the entire country for 10 days. Sexual abuse of her was proven and admitted to by her step father. The only sympathy this garnered her was life in prision instead of the death penalty. Both of these cases so similar, tragic and sad.


John James P.   July 3rd, 2011 12:48 pm ET

I can't stand Casey Anthony and her sleazy defense lawyer Jose Baez. How dare they try to drag a grieving grandfather through the mud: accusing him (without any proof) of molesting his daughter,suggesting that he was responsible for the cover-up of Caley's death. GA is not a perfect human...we all fall short ...but as soon as he found out that his granddaughter was missing he spend so much blood,sweat, and tears trying to find her...trying to find out the truth. His suicide note is evidence of his torment.Casey is clearly a sociopath: she didn't want to be burdened with a child..she wanted to party and sleep around....to have the "Good Life".She expressed pure hostility towards her parents every time they took the stand.....she's been in her own twisted fantasy world ever since she has been in the public eye. She murdered Caley and should pay the ultimate price. Jose Baez earns my wrath for deliberately trying to confuse the jury with his wacky shot-gun theories in an attempt to clear someone who is obviously guilty of an ultimate sin: murdering your own little girl.


dlaurels   July 3rd, 2011 1:09 pm ET

The prosecutor gave an excellent closing. He gave an excellent chronology of what happened between the last day that anyone saw Caylee until the car was discovered. As for the defense, as usual, I find Biaz disconnected. He just bops around from point to point. It appears that his intent is to blame George Anthony for everything. We shall see what happens for the rest of the day.


Shawn O'Brien   July 3rd, 2011 1:12 pm ET

Question..The chloroform...For go the searches..my thought..how and where can she get the product..From what I found You cant seem to just randomly buy it off the street..Maybe I'm wrong..I don't have any uses for it in my capacity of everyday life as I dont have a need to. I liked Atty Ashtons open...But Mr Baez is still making a compelling thought in that..So many other folks near the vehicle could not smell the "decompistion" Leaves me to wonder what is possibly right there. Does she lie..seems to..But the family dynamic is seriously all of suspicion..but again..suspicion is not evidence.


Kathie   July 3rd, 2011 1:14 pm ET

What I found most interesting about the prosecutor's arguments regarding motive, is the inference that Casey had to make a decision about her life because Caley was now old enough to start speaking about Casey's lies, and put duct tape on her daughter – to me a clear image of the motive – silencing her! Powerful prosecution closing, Baez seems to be rambling!


Chantelle   July 3rd, 2011 1:17 pm ET

I think that Baez is the one who moved the the garbage bag that had Caylee's body into the muddy swamp, or at least helped her do it. That may be why he looks and acts like a snake and protective of her... their lil secret. He was around the whole time and wanting to win the case so he would obstruct any evidence so he could win the case.
Anyone who attempts to make a movie out of a lil girls murder should be ashamed of them selfs... do not glorify a murderer... one who killed her daughter, lie after lie, and sat there in court smirking the whole time loving the spot light on her.

May the jury see through Mr. Baez's and Casey's bull shit and convict the murderer.


brin   July 3rd, 2011 1:32 pm ET

I think casey anthony is a liar, an idiot and a strange person, but I don't think that the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she murdered her daughter.


Bre in Florida   July 3rd, 2011 1:40 pm ET

If Neck-breaking was typed in on thier household computer. Why do we think drowning or chloriform for death, why not bone breaking? Casey may have physically hurt Caylee . She may have tried to cover it up. How long would it take for a body to decompose enough so that you cant tell how the manner of death?Casey was pretty smart..


Monica Garcia   July 3rd, 2011 1:49 pm ET

In response to why George Anthony didnt call the cops right away after he smelt death: It was his daughter's car, he hadn't seen his granddaughter in a month. He didnt want to think the worst. Who wants to imagine their granddaughter is DEAD? And even worse who wants to imagine their own daughter killed her? I think he smelt it and knew, but he didnt want to believe his own instincts. He wanted answers. A lot of ppl, especially cops will try to ignore their own insticts & try to figure out things on their own when it comes to their personal lives. This man has lost his granddaughter, his own daughter is on trial for the murder, he & his son have been accused of sexual abuse, he has been accused of an affair & having something to do with covering up the murder. I feel so sorry for this man & Cindy & Lee. I pray God will help the jury give them answers they need. May God be with them all!


Chantelle   July 3rd, 2011 1:50 pm ET

who's this meter reader guy? The body could have been found much sooner... that part is weird to me... he seen some stuff in the woods and told the police... then went back later.... WHY... strange!

Nobody know how a family will act or look on the stand... it looks horrible to go through it all for so long.

Cmon jury do the right thing!!!!


Darlene coomer   July 3rd, 2011 2:01 pm ET

I would like to know who the father of Caylee Marie Anthony, and why if they know they are the father, why aren't they in on this trail?


Gerald   July 3rd, 2011 2:03 pm ET

I hope that Ashton will note to the jurors the "Precedence" of this case; Because if she can get away with this. Ex. Someone shows you how to make a bomb on National TV. How many people would do this? If she gets away with this, how many dads or moms can look at this case. Well,
all I have to do is pretend to show people and on video I am a good parent, not report my child missing for over how many months, not make a mistake of using my family's PC to search for "How To's" – get rid of any evidence,
And get a lawyer to through such much BS out there, ie: dogs, coyotes, aliens, imaginary people, the meter man or woman, etc... And I am home free. I got away with it... Come on Casey, because they so many people out there waiting to do the same.


Simona   July 3rd, 2011 2:08 pm ET

Question: Why did George Anthony not call 911/Police when he picked up his car from the impoundement if he smelled death in the car???
Answer: By speaking to his wife Cindy, he knew that she was in constant contact with Casey and therefore it would not even enter his mind that the body of either Casey or Caylee may have been involved.
He wanted to get home to Cindy and they tried to reach Casey asap.
Outcome: Eventually Cindy did call 911 and told of the smell once they saw Casey without Caylee!!!!!!!!!!

Also, who is the skeptical judge who was speaking to Jane Valez and said to her along the lines of " does Casey look like the type of person that would intentionally kill her daughter and throw her into a swamp" How would he know if she is or is not capable of committing a crime? Did anyone suspec Sue Smith of killing all her children who she loved so much? Did she look like a killer?
Are we now to pass judgement and the jury to decide Casey's fate just by looking at her? Is this the way the law works? Wow..news to me...saving much on taxpayers money..just look at someone and then we can tell if they are guilty or not....some judge!!!!!!!


Bre in Florida   July 3rd, 2011 2:32 pm ET

Jose Baez is trying to confuse the jury..Hes saying the state wants to confuse them.No,,, sorry,, Hes afraid to let fish face get on the stand because she is the only one that knows the truth about what she did with Caylee.. Let Fish face on the stand Baez....She was so clever in hiding the truth.Its sad because of Caylee...Im getting tired of looking at all of them .I hope this is all over soon. Waiting for the book or movie..Wonder if it will be on Snapped or Lifetime....


Maura   July 3rd, 2011 3:10 pm ET

This trial has been a statement of supposition – not proven facts. The facts that are viable are: an innocent child is dead! The Anthony family are notorious liars. Why did Jan Garavaglia MD not open the skull? Yes it was a definite Homicide but what was the inner process of the brain. One single hair in the trunk and no DNA. If you were to duct tape an individuals face/body, when the duct tape was removed there would definitely be DNA due to the fact that it was taped to the skin. There would also be fingerprints/DNA of the individual that used the tape.
There is no possible way that the jury can fine Casey Anthony guilty of murder. There is absolutely no proof whatsoever of that fact. On the other hand she is definitely guilty of lying and obstruction of justice. Murder – NO, Stupidity – Yes, Obstruction of Justice – Yes, Lying – Yes!
There are so many unanswered questions and NO facts.
God Bless that little innocent baby at least she is now somewhere safe.


krlorenz   July 3rd, 2011 3:19 pm ET

If George had something to do with Caley's death, like Casey says through her attorney, why would she lie to him about why she came home with the gas can and she was supposed to be out of town. Why would she have to lie about being out of town with Caley if George knew she had drowned in the pool.


dlaurels   July 3rd, 2011 3:32 pm ET

This man, Biaz, is something else. He is trying to tear the prosecutor's case apart, but all he is doing is blabbing. Talk about conjecture. And, he is willing to insult everyone on this earth in order to make his point. I so wish he would shut up.


Chantelle   July 3rd, 2011 3:38 pm ET

Do killers take the time to hide a body with personal items from the home or do they just kill and dump the body hoping that someone finds it... like a challenged game to them?

Just like OJ simpson.... this was personal! Casey Anthony killed her daughter and wanted to hide the evidence. She probably involved her family without them knowing what was really going on with the murder.


Chantelle   July 3rd, 2011 3:46 pm ET

The fact that Casey moved out of the house and disappeared was not talked about or did I miss that?


Bob Fontaine   July 3rd, 2011 3:51 pm ET

The prosecutor was shaking hsi head and laughing, smirking as the defense was making it;s closing. The court came back in session late as it was explained defense complained about his facial gestures.

Watch the prosecutor during the morning session. I thought that was odd that the judge himself didnt stop him.

So, I can see why the defense would mention it. The prosecutor impacted the jury during the defense closing... That seems worse to me than worrying about the defense talking about the "laughing" guy.

I dont know ebnough about the trial otherwise to have an opinion of guilt.


Susanne   July 3rd, 2011 4:02 pm ET

Seems to me Baez just summed up the cause of death for the prosecution. If George and Casey were the only ones home how about Casey chloroforms young Caylee, drowns her, puts duct tape over her mouth with a heart sticker, then puts her in the trunk and waits for an opportune time to dispose of her body. Casey has been descriped as a "good mother". Seems to me anyone can be a good mother in front of the right people. Baez said the whole Anthony family lies. Seems to me the whole family lied to cover up the original lies by the "good mother"


Cindy   July 3rd, 2011 4:13 pm ET

I am so tired of Baez's antics! He knows his case is weak but to attack the Prosecutor! He has done nothing but show disrespect to Judge Perry, to those that have come to take the stand, he has put down everyone and everything that is said and now he is jumping onto the Prosecutor?
If I was Judging this trial, I would have thrown Baez out a long time ago.


Pam Baker   July 3rd, 2011 4:26 pm ET

Everyone is talking about Jeff Ashton's facial expressions, but what about ALL of Baez's rolling of the eyes at JUDGE PERRY's comments during the trial, constant smirk on his face, etc. How about that?


dlaurels   July 3rd, 2011 4:39 pm ET

Now we are back on blaming George Anthony for everything. Biaz is contemptible in his statements about George Anthony. He is making unsupported statements that are irrelevant to this case. Biaz has, yet again, as he has throughout this trial gone off on a tangent that is not the lest bit relevant to this murder trial. Biaz is making statements that are lies. How can he get away with this nonsense?


jean   July 3rd, 2011 5:03 pm ET

CLOSING STATEMENTS......
A lengthy defense presentation that could have been alleviated had Casey took the Stand....if Casey was innocent she'd have been screaming it from day one.


Linda   July 3rd, 2011 5:31 pm ET

wonder how long George & Cindy will remain as a married couple


Majella Manning   July 3rd, 2011 5:36 pm ET

Jose Baez did a fabulous job of pointing out the flaws in the Prosecution's case. I don't know what happened but the actions on the part of the Prosecution suggest that the Prosecution has no desire to serve justice but to win a case for their own personal gain. It brings to light that our justice system is flawed and that one could be found guilty if the Prosecution needs a win! Whatever doubts I had about Casey Anthony is marred by the prosecution's unethical practices. It is scary that this practice would continue in our court system today. Prosecution failed today and should be ashamed at their actions.


Peggy   July 3rd, 2011 5:53 pm ET

I am so convinced that the way everyone lies so much that we may never really know what happened to that poor little girl. GOD BLESS HER.


Eloise   July 3rd, 2011 6:04 pm ET

This is such a sad disfunctional family. How could their lives get so messed up? They seem so normal at the surface, but I guess every family has things that seem weired to others. I do believe that she is responsible for the death of her child, and who can explain the strange behavior during the month the child was missing. She knew she was dead when she was having her wild parties. What a mess....can the family survive this? Probably not.


dkbethke   July 3rd, 2011 6:18 pm ET

wow the defense is trying to make the jury feel guilty if they don't come up with a" not guilty" verdict. how can those jurors buy into this crazy show? it has been obvious that she did it from day 1. I will be shocked if the jury has been swayed from that fact.


MJ   July 3rd, 2011 6:30 pm ET

OH my gosh defense laweys commenting that the defense didn"t talk long...they are a bunch of narsastic people with huge egos...the defense was insulting to the jury...they LOVE to hear themselves talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk...people who sit on juries doen't want to hear someone yell at them...Mason and Baez should go to jail just because they are so full of themselves...really...really!!!


Tee   July 3rd, 2011 8:48 pm ET

Guilty Guilty and Guilty

Jose needs to be brought up on charges from all the crazy things he said in his opening.

He was stupid for believing Casey, if she told him all of those things about her father and brother. Remember she is a liar.


Kris   July 3rd, 2011 11:30 pm ET

I am a grandmother of a three year old baby girl. I look at her and often think of Caylee's grandparents, I could never imagine their pain. Watching Casey spin these web of lies with her made up fictional characters, not imaginary friends as the defence claims, is a problem with a lot of other young mothers. I say that because I have an issue right now with a young mother of two who is doing exact same thing with m aking up stories to get what she wants. She tries to manipulate the people around her and the system. Her thing is now is trying to convince people that her daughter who is 18 mo has cancer. This is to get pity and to get them to give money to her. 4 months ago she became angry with my son and he tried to leave and she attacked the car he was driving, which was mine, with a tire iron. I face her in court in a couple of weeks. So these lies and stories that Casey has made up have nothing to do with anything other than getting what Casey wants. Also I am wondering if I show people that my granddaughter can open a door or climb a ladder, is that going to lead people to accuse me of child abuse when she steps outside and scrapes her knee? Fact is she was in her mother's care, and now she is dead, for me thats enough for conviction.


Anita   July 4th, 2011 5:33 am ET

There was discussion today on the panel about How George never said how he loved his daughter, etc., well, maybe George does not love his daughter. She is saying how he molested her, and George knows she kiled Caylee. He is an ex-cop, and I do not think he respects her and all her lies. Maybe she was not a great mother either, when it was said he never bragged on her. I can't remember anyone asking George about her,so he can only answer what he is asked. His mistress, is a liar too, so what if he had an affair with that woman. George loved Caylee, and did not kill her. Casey has the car in her possession when she killed her little girl, with duct tape. She put her in the pet cemetery, like a family pet. Casey premeditated this murder and lied about it. The mother was willing to go to jail to protect Casey from the death penalty. They are not habitual liars probably, Casey learned that all by herself.


Rita in Philadelphia   July 4th, 2011 10:11 am ET

1 piece of duck tape =aggravated child abuse
2 pieces of duck tape = aggravated child abuse + felony murder
BUT 3 pieces of duck tape = 1st degree premeditated murder!

I think most people in America can not wrap their head around anyone, let alone the mother, doing this to their child, therefor its easier for them to believe that it was an accident. The prosecution is dead on, she knocked her out with the chloroform, THEN suffocated her, gave her 1 last kiss with the heart sticker, like her other pets and put her in the trunk. I hope that our justice system as Mr. Mason stated, will look past this inept attempt to put reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors, and liberty and JUSTICE for Caylee Anthony will ring throughout the land today ! The birthday of our beloved constitution!


Edie Suddath   July 4th, 2011 11:03 am ET

My 28 year old son shares his birthday with little Caylee Anthony. Ironically, he and his wife are expecting a little girl who will be delivered on this birthday, August 9th. Their baby has Trisomy 13, a fatal genetic disorder that is "incompatible with life". My precious little granddaughter will either be stillborn or die shortly thereafter. We would all give ANYTHING to have a healthy, beautiful little girl like Caylee Anthony.
We all detest Casey Anthony – give her the death penalty.


Linda   July 4th, 2011 11:17 am ET

Maybe there is something in that hanky that causes the tears to well up in her eyes. And the way she rakes it across her cheeks makes them look red and puffy..... How can she stare that hard and long at the prosecution without blinking? Its like a cat watching its prey...


Janell Whittaker   July 4th, 2011 12:06 pm ET

I am a grandmother of a now 4 year old granddaughter who was born on the same day as Caylee Marie Anthony, and has the same dark hair and eyes. The only difference is my grand daughter is still alive and well and I am thankful every single day for that. I lived in Orlando not far from the Anthony's and when this story first came out it grabbed not only my attention but my heart. Casey Anthony is a narrcasistic sociopath who has no caring consideration, or feelings for anyone but herself. I have followed this case for three years and the only tears or feelings you ever see from her is if it concerns her and her alone. She was playing Russian Roulette with chloroform and it was only a matter of time until it killed Caylee. My heart goes out to the Anthony family and while we all sit here in judgement of them lets ask ourselves what family could stand up to the microscope we have put them under. When this is over we will all go back to our daily lives, while George, Cindy, Lee Anthony and family's will never be the same again. I wish them all healing and peace as they move forward and try to go on with there lives. This is a no win situation for them. They LOSE!!!! No matter what the verdict is. This is a family whose shoes none of us would ever want to walk in and I hope we all remember that in our treatment of them after this verdict is reached.


Cindy Waits   July 4th, 2011 12:47 pm ET

I'm just wondering why, in most pictures of Caylee Marie Anthony, it looks as though she has dark circles under her eyes, could this possibly mean, her Mother, Casey had been drugging her for some time?


Karen   July 4th, 2011 12:52 pm ET

I have served on two felony case juries and I have tuned in to HLN almost every day for two weeks. I do not agree with most of your panelists that are supposed to be experts. I do not feel that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Cassie Anthony killed her daughter. I believe it truly was an accident that got out of control, and her lead attorney didn't
help either. Why wouldn't Cindy take care of Caylee until Mom could get her life straigtened out?
Her father a former police detective did not appear to be the heart broken grandfather he lead the jury to believe. I would hold out for not guilty murder one. because I believe it was an accident, manslaughter. I feel for Cindy. She truly loved her daughter and granddaughter.


Mimi410   July 4th, 2011 1:25 pm ET

Casey is definitly from a disfunctional family. I don't feel like they can convict her. I think alot of information was not allowed to come out in court. Her pregnancy being kept secret, her brother's reaction not being normal. Casey has issues due to her family and is responding like an abused person. She maybe guilty of bad judgement........based on her family how could she make good choices. She is not alone in this, just a gut feeling. Casey needs help not prison!


Jim   July 4th, 2011 1:26 pm ET

I am so tired of Ashton's antics! He knows his case is weak but to attack the defense! He has done nothing but show disrespect to Judge Perry, to those that have come to take the stand, he has put down everyone and everything that is said and now is jumping onto the defense? If I was judging this trail, I would have thrown Ashton out a long time ago.


Mimi410   July 4th, 2011 1:40 pm ET

Baez did a great job considering that the Judge did not allow testimony that should have been heard,,,,,how frustrating. I don't think he is grandstanding but, trying to safe a very distrubed young woman. Her upbring was so disfuncttional and so obvious. They did not allow any of that to come out in court. Cindy is a nut and her Father is so unstable......he knows more than came out in court and Baez knows it.
Where is this precious little girls father....maybe it didn't come out because it is a family member or she was raped and they would definitly cover that up and Casey has grown up having to hide from the truth. In my mind their is no much doubt she can't be convicted


LaVonne   July 4th, 2011 2:27 pm ET

Where the heck is Lee??? That poor guy melted away like butter on bread!
So, so sad!


Dorothy Tarter   July 4th, 2011 2:50 pm ET

Come on...could you please replay Linda Draper's closing rebuttal...you all have done that everyday and now we have to listen to opinions regarding each juror..


Radha   July 4th, 2011 3:03 pm ET

Casey is a disgrace to all mothers. She is not innocent. She should be put in jail for life


LN Lawrence   July 4th, 2011 3:48 pm ET

Thank you Linda Drane-Burdick and Jeff Ashton for being Caylee's voice. I've worked in the legal field for years but this is the best state presentation and closing argument I have ever experienced. Passionate with facts and common sense. With all my heart, I am heart broken about the death of this child and it was very hard to listen to the facts as put forth by the evidence. Caylee, her family, the jury and even Casey will be in my prayers. My hope is that justice is served and no matter the outcome, the state did a superb job of speaking for Caylee.


Brittany   July 4th, 2011 3:58 pm ET

Hi I am in Orlando and everyone here knows she did it. nobody that loves there child would go party right after even an accident happens if you love your kid and something happens the 1st thing you will do is call a ambulance. you want to make sure your baby is okay and if they die your gonna be stupid with grief for years not out partying with any guy you can find. SHE KILLED A ANGEL. and should spend forever in prison. Death is to good forever.


Steve Ballance   July 4th, 2011 4:15 pm ET

Where did Casey stay during the 30 days Kaylee was missing, If she's out partying with her friends, why didn't any of her friends get brought in for questioning? Where was she during the 1st week did anybody see Kaylee with her? week 2 week 3 etc.... NOBODY questioned where kaylee was at, during the month of her missing. Who is the father why isn't he involved in testimony about Casey's mental status. I'm afraid there's going to be more questions then answers.. .just like the Hoffa Case.


Wisconsin Grammy   July 4th, 2011 4:15 pm ET

We all want justice for Cayley, IF in fact she was killed...and sympathy and prayers for her if she drowned. Casey is a disturbed young woman, the victim of her eccentric mother/pathological liar, who also may go to prison for 15 years for perjury, according to last night's reports. I do not know who the guilty party/partier are, as there are not enough FACTS to prove the case, only guesses, speculation, and conflicting reports from their 'experts'. It is a very sad situation, but no fingerprints, no DNA of anyone's on the tape or bag, and no evidence of choloroform in her body cannot convict her. Can only wait to see what the jury says... and pray for little Cayley's soul. She's the only angel in this scenario.


Marcy   July 4th, 2011 4:17 pm ET

Anyone who believes that Casey is innocent of killing her little girl is living in a fantasy world of their own.
Casey took Caylee and left home, she wasnt getting along with her mother, she was punishing her mother.
Caylee was getting in the way of Caseys fun, she started chloroforming her to sleep so she could party all night or whenever.
What loving mother would hide the fact that her precious daugfhter was missing, and for a month at that!
That right there is your first clue or should be. You dont go through your own resources when if in fact the child was abducted. You go to the police, the FBI, someone who has the appropriate resources to find the missing child.
Casey is selfish and uncaring for or about anyone, she only wants for herself.
She killed her little girl, no ifs,ands or buts about it.


Missy   July 4th, 2011 4:48 pm ET

How can you or anyone say Baez did a good job? He had an outragous opening that he couldn't back up. He was over ruled on almost everything he objected to, and most of all, he was like watching a clown at the circus. Casey is a heartless, coldblooded, stonefaced baby killer. At first I wanted her to fry,.. but now I think spending the rest of her miserable life behind bars would be far worse. So we'll go with that. Oh.. and the rest of the family might not be perfect... but noone molested that girl...SHE IS A LIAR


ishs10   July 4th, 2011 7:10 pm ET

I honestly believe Casey is NOT innocent, however if I understand this correctly the jury can only convict if the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that She killed Caylee. The state as well as the defense has put on some excellent speeches, but I haven't seen any PROOF beyond a doubt that she killed Caylee. I think it will be very very difficult for them to come back with a 1st degree guilty verdict.


calista   July 4th, 2011 7:56 pm ET

I have been watching this trial from day 1.What type of monster would kill her own child. My opinion is that she's guilty and should get the death penalty. Little Caylee needs justice and that's the only way our society has to give her justice. Why should they believe Casey now? She's been lying the whole time, and still is. She'd rather lay in bed and watch movie's instead of going to look for her! child or telling someone that she's missing. If she really was missing than she would have told someone. Instead of covering it up. Let truth pervail. I think that maybe she wanted to go party and Caylee wouldn't be quiet so she used Chloriform or sleeping pills. and rapped duck tape around her so if she woke up no one could here her scream. When she came back she was dead. Or maybe she had killed her so Little Caylee couldnt tell anyone what was happening. Beacuase Caylee was getting around the age to were she could tell what was happining in that house. And remember if she didnt want her child, she could of put her up for adoption. And if you have seen the video of Caylee reading a book in her highchair it might come to mind that, well were was Casey then? Who's the one taking all these videos? I hope that justice is served. even thoe I'm only eleven. I want the world I'm growing up in to be fair and just for all.


Liz Battye   July 4th, 2011 7:57 pm ET

I think that Casey Anthony is GUILTY in the first degree!!!


Margie   July 4th, 2011 8:53 pm ET

So George attempted suicide. Right. How was he located? Did he call someone (so often a suicide attempt is just a cry for help), or was he found on the motel floor? Did he suffer any physical damage from the overdose of what ever he took besides beer and BP meds? Was this only a plea to help verify that he is a heart-broke grandpa? Or was George scared that the walls were closing in on him. This occurred about a month after the remains were found along with the Gatorade bottle and the duct tape and it was just about time for the forensic exams and chemistry tests to be completed. There are just too many unanswered questions for the jury to convict her of anything more that lying,


LS Pitcher   July 4th, 2011 9:48 pm ET

About the "duct tape:
The most logical explanation for the duct tape and its configuration is: By whatever means (chloroform, leaving in a car, etc.) under Casey's "protection" Caylee died. When Casey found her, dead, her blank eyes were open and her jaw was a-gape. Unlike in the movies the eyes cannot be closed by brushing down the lids and the jaw will not stay closed...so...Casey could not stand the dead eyes of the girl staring at her or the little jaw hanging slack so she covered her eyes with the "X" pattern tape and extended it under her chin to keep the mandible in a closed position. This to conceal from her the spector of her dead childs face while she disposed of the body.


JACK   July 5th, 2011 1:10 am ET

I said day one that the motive was that child was starting to verbalize! Also, hair tox showed lotsa drugs in child (that would be repeated use), which is felony murder #1!! how can this be a mystery? When she drugged that baby day after day while she was at her pretend job, where was the child for two years?? This is not rocket science, is it? If she gets less than Murder One...we will truly wonder what this world has gotten to. That poor baby....this big CIRCUS of a trial – let's hope there is finally justice for the child.


athena   July 5th, 2011 9:21 am ET

you keep saying cindy and george want justice then why did they both get on the stand under oath and lie???????


athena   July 5th, 2011 9:27 am ET

just maybe the abuse that casey went through maybe the same was happening to LIttle Callie and she was going to start talking and that's why she is not here..george is the only one that tried to kill himself. (guilty of something)and i agree with mini410 defense was stopped from explaining alot.


B Bryan   July 5th, 2011 10:19 am ET

Duct Tap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First question who asked the FBI to check the duct tap .... THE STATE. The State never called any FBI agent. The FBI said there was no DNA or hair on the tape .... yet it was over the babies face. Don'think it fits Count 1 ..... sorry but your not going to get a death verdict out of this one.


lucy   July 5th, 2011 10:31 am ET

OK we know she is a lier, but i also believe there people out there that suffer from Compulsive Lying Disorder symptoms a mental sickness and no one talks about it.... Can you have someone to talk about this disorder and maybe we don't laugh about it so much....


Marty   July 5th, 2011 10:41 am ET

The charge of pre-meditated was drawn from the 84 searches on the interenet of "How to Make Choloroform". When Cyntia (the Mother) took the blame, premeditated was taken off the table by every pundant.

When it was shown she was at work and trherefore could not have been the one making the search, things reversed again.

However, after both sides rested, we learned that the software that determined 84 searches were made, was wrong and only one search made. The rest went to Facebook

How can a fair trial now take place. The jury was told closing arguments are not evidence. They heard 84 searches by Casey

Seems an appeal if found guilty is almost a sure thing.


Pat   July 5th, 2011 10:56 am ET

Jack, When was hair tox evidence come out? I must have missed it. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the closing arguments.


patty   July 5th, 2011 11:04 am ET

Do not follow the duct tape, thats not the link in this case...The videos & phone call is the connection..Along with Casey being the last one in Custody of Caylee that day..Where was Caylee that afternoon if not with Tony & Casey??? Caseys complete denial in phone call??


patty   July 5th, 2011 11:11 am ET

Equa Search- Tim Miller was at Anthonys home deciding with Anthonys where to search..Casey refused to help..Goerge stated to Casey,""Pin point the dam area we should search""...They knew Caylee was dead & that Casey was responsible...Cindy & Casey started screaming at George...Tim Miller was neveer called as a Witness?????


barb from nova scotia canada   July 5th, 2011 11:14 am ET

i have been watching this trial from the beginning. I really dont think i could sentence here to death because there is no real evedience that she killed her in cold blood.I COULD CONVICT OF A LESSER CHARGE. i love the show watch it all the time.


patty   July 5th, 2011 11:17 am ET

Why was Tim Miller not a Witness..He was at the home of Anthonys with Baez??? George ordered Casey to pinpoint area they should search on the map..Cindy & Casey blewup at him...Anthonys knew or suspected Casey at the beginning...Tim Miller but not called to testify is the link


texaslittle   July 5th, 2011 11:29 am ET

The prosecution did do an excellant job in the Caylee Anthony trial, however, the mocking of the defense by Jeff Ashton was completely unprofessional and unexceptable. He holds an office that requires professional conduct. His actions disgraced him and respect for the judicial system. Why did he feel the need to act so disgracefully? I for one was very diisappointed by these actions. Is is a wonder that lack of respect for our judicial system in in a decline by the youth, with deplorable examples by such actions of a high position in our judical system?


Karen   July 5th, 2011 11:39 am ET

Considering the fact that this was a difficult case I believe Jose Baez gave a magnificent closing argument for the defense of Casey Anthony.
Where is the proof ???? Yes Casey is a young mother who made mistakes, but intentionally kill little Caylee? I don't think so. Who took the
Pics of Caylee and Cindy, and little Caylee and Casey? That child was loved by Casey and Cindy. Even if Casey and Cindy weren't getting along, she knew her mother would help with child care.
Who knows what really happened? I agree with Jim, the judge should have removed Ashton for his antics which took place in front of the jury during the closing arguments for the defense.


Butch Hatten   July 5th, 2011 12:03 pm ET

It's all over but the penalty and the crying......


Mike T   July 5th, 2011 12:46 pm ET

Query: Is CA not serving off her sentence for prior conviction on the check forgeries? How much time does she have left on those and will any sentence imposed as result of this trial run consecutively with the previous sentence?


John G.   July 5th, 2011 12:53 pm ET

I've been wondering about the actions of Mr. Roy Kronk and if there exists any definitive statement from him concerning whether or not he actually saw Duct Tape around the skull as he was poking or prodding his gas meter reader probe through the right orbital eye socket of the skull or (if he did) during when he may have lifted the skull up off of the ground from it's original position, either directly off the ground of if the skull dropped from a bag ?

Would there be any statement of this to the Police Department when they must have questioned him? Also, from possibly the prosecutor's office or the defense attorney's office? Maybe I missed hearing this during the trial, but in any case, I don't think any big deal was made of this in the media. So I'm just wondering if anybody really knows?


VICKI   July 5th, 2011 1:00 pm ET

Murdering Cassie will not bring Little Cayle back.......


Nancy B   July 5th, 2011 1:13 pm ET

What happens if there is a hung jury? WIll it be tried again with the same prosecution and defense teams?
Do they get to change their "theories of the case" or must they argue as they did in the previous trial?


James   July 5th, 2011 1:23 pm ET

How do you think Casey was getting spending money. She did not work, she was living somewhere other than with her parents for quite awhile. Her boyfriend did not look like a supporter. Wonder where the money came from?


katherine nickels   July 5th, 2011 1:29 pm ET

I think George Anthony should have been on trail as he was the last one to see caylee He was babysitting therefore he was the adult in coustody


Lyla F. from Billings, MT   July 5th, 2011 1:45 pm ET

If Casey Anthony is found guilty of first degree murder, or perhaps a lesser sentence, can George Anthony still confess to being involved or guilty of the murder? Perhaps George is waiting and hoping too see if Casey will be acquitted of murder.


susan mckinsey   July 5th, 2011 1:49 pm ET

I think that zanny the nanny is code for... drugging the child with zannex and then putting her in the trunk for the evening...then when there were no more drugs, the next resort was chloriform... then when that became too troublesum...enter the duct tape. That poor child.


richl   July 5th, 2011 1:50 pm ET

More than likely she'll be found guilty. But that computer evidence could upset the whole case. Plus, no juror would have a life if they voted on the side of the defense and they know that. Also, there will be a lot of appeals to follow.


Tony   July 5th, 2011 1:52 pm ET

I am just curious, Casey did not report her child missing for at least 30days. Afterwards the child's remains was not found for about 6 months. During that time was child protective services ever involved? Was Casey receiving any state assistance in the form of food stamps, Medicaid insurance or other finacial assistance? If Casey wanted her freedom, why didn't she just leave her child with her parent's. Was it maybe because she would lose her state assistance? "Money"


Sunny   July 5th, 2011 2:01 pm ET

I don't understand how anyone can keep saying she drowned! Casey is the only one who said that and not even from day one. She made that up later. Folks, SHE IS A LIAR There was a time not too many years ago when there was no such thing as DNA and all cases were judged on circumstantial evidence. Some of you people should read all the facts before making your statements. Suicide is a plea for help and most people don't really want to die. This family would not been dysfuntional if it hadn't included a sociopathic daughter.
They didn't know what to do with her.
Bozo made a lot of faces too during the closing arguments but the prosecution didn't feel the need to point it out to the jury.
Judge Perry is the greatest!


michelle   July 5th, 2011 2:10 pm ET

I too have great concerns about Casey's mother and Father. I believe that the grandfather should have been investigated a little more, by GA being a police officer I think that they gave him a little pass. I do feel as if casey is somewhat guilty as well as her father, some of the events that went on in my eyes are things that a police officer or someone in law enforcement would know. For example to constantely move a corps around for months knowing whenever the body was discovered it would be to decomposed to identify cause of death. Personally i don't think Casey was that clever to do this by herself. My heart goes out to that beautiful little girl and my only wish is that someone eventually admits to the full truth, so caylee can rest in peace.


Ray   July 5th, 2011 2:10 pm ET

This is what i hate about our current society... You are innocent until PROVEN Guilty not the other way around.

I have not seen all the facts and therefore will not make a verdict however what i have seen does not make her a murderer... a liar, dumb, young, stupid, party girl, yes to all however it is the prosecutions job to prove "without reasonable doubt" that she did what she is accused of. It is not the defense's job tor prove innocence.

I hope no more trials are done with this much media coverage. Remember the media gets paid to get you to watch!!!! so make it interesting and people will watch.


Keri   July 5th, 2011 2:24 pm ET

It's a travesty! Seriously? Who thinks she is NOT GUILTY of at least manslaughter.


jackie   July 5th, 2011 2:30 pm ET

Are those people crazy?!?! She was found not guilty of Man slaughter of a child, not guilty of aggravated child abuse and not guilty of first degree murder? She was a terrible mom who lied. She partied for 30 days while her child was lying dead in a ditch and they find her not guilty. I think she was 100% GUILTY


Kandie   July 5th, 2011 2:34 pm ET

OMGOSH!!!!!
Unreal – I have lost total faith in our justice system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Karen Hanlon   July 5th, 2011 2:34 pm ET

Those had to be the 12 dumbest people in the nation. What the heck do they think she did with her daughter for 31 flipping days while she was out partying? It might be that we have the greatest justice system in the world but it definitely failed today. I have no respect for any of those jurors and hope they see that child's face in their dreams for the rest of their lives.


Ernie   July 5th, 2011 2:42 pm ET

Had they left out the part of the DUCT TAPE as being the murder weapon. Remember the pet burials and Roy Kronk on moving the Skull that is wwhere the duct tape was the worst for the prosecution.


Tiffany   July 5th, 2011 2:43 pm ET

are you serious! They need to come back to reality!


Kendra Rich   July 5th, 2011 2:45 pm ET

She may have been found not guilty by the jury, but she's not innocent of Caleys murder. She's guilty as hell. She'll get what she truly deserves in the end. As for Jose Baez.....bet he'll take all the credit. As for the old "good ol' boy" lawyer. The school of public opinion Still finds her guilty.


Ray Roderick   July 5th, 2011 2:49 pm ET

For the charges of "Giving false information to the police" how much time does she stand to get?


Amanda Wilson   July 5th, 2011 2:54 pm ET

I am shocked at this verdict. Now she can go on and live her 'beatiful life', while little Caylee Marie has received no justice for her death. Now they need to prosecute all those people that perjured themselves in this case.


Diane Vail   July 5th, 2011 2:56 pm ET

I am literly sick , sick , sick .. Guess you can get away with murder in Florida , good thing the trial wasnt in Texas . Texas does believe in the Death Penalty .


Alisha   July 5th, 2011 2:58 pm ET

Man I need to go to Florida if I want to commit murder.....drugs are big in Florida right? That smile of hers today makes me sick...hey your daughter is still dead!!!!


Andrew   July 5th, 2011 3:01 pm ET

Juror's got it wrong, wrong, wrong.


Patrice   July 5th, 2011 3:10 pm ET

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
That just happened! Caylee is now looking down on who killed her. This is a sad day for advocates of child abuse.


kathy lee   July 5th, 2011 3:18 pm ET

Florida is a great place to be a criminal, like Los Angeles they don't convict anyone!


janimaynyc   July 5th, 2011 3:23 pm ET

What world do these jurors live in? The evidence was compelling. It's ridiculous – makes me doubt our judicial system, no actually, of our educational system. Stupid jurors!


bryan sims   July 5th, 2011 3:29 pm ET

Hi been on this case since the start i knew that she was not guilty there
Was nothing to show she killed her little girl


Deb   July 5th, 2011 3:30 pm ET

What a terrible miscarriage of justice! I guess you have to be totally clueless to be a juror in this country. I believe that it's almost impossible to be found guilty in this country of a terrible crime as long as the cameras are on and it's a highly publicized case. Maybe it's time to go back to closed courtrooms so that these predators don't get more consideration than the victims. That poor child is dead – and what, not one of these jurors had the courage to speak up and hold themselves up in order to find justice? How pathetic is our judicial system that fills our prisons with the poor, underpriveldged but the attractive, famous, and well publicized .... walk.....


Sandra Lewis   July 5th, 2011 3:32 pm ET

Wow! Not what I expected! Could it be that someone set her up!
God only knows who did this. Poor little Caylee. My heart breaks for her.


Eddie Lee   July 5th, 2011 3:35 pm ET

The Prosecution simply overcharged her had they charged her correctly they would have received a correct verdict.
To now blame the jurors is simply wrong,


badenos   July 5th, 2011 3:36 pm ET

Thank god our justice system works. This mother is guilty of being a child raising a child and not being truthfull to investigators. If the prosecution would make there law inforcement do there job we would have had a person or persons that committed this awful crime; instead we have questions where there should be answers. This was a lesson to all of the mothers and fathers that are letting there children have children, consider adoption or sex education not lies and denial.


mbb   July 5th, 2011 3:43 pm ET

The zanny nanny babysitting service has now been born.......its ashame


Beth   July 5th, 2011 3:57 pm ET

I have followed this case from the start, I have watched everyone from the public to the commemtators become emotionaly involved. I am glad to see that the jury could consider the facts of the case alone, without everyones opinion getting in the way. I have been some what concerned to see that seasoned attorneys I have watched on TV could not do the same. I like everyone else would like to hear the whole story of what happened. However if you look at all of the evidence without prejudging, they did not prove that she murdered her daughter. That is not to say that she acted rational in any sense of the word. We can all sit back and say if something traumatic happened in our lives how we would act, but the bottom line is you never know until it happens to you. I had a 2 year old daurghter who died and even though we had known from day one, that we could face that one day, my reaction and behavior according to my friends and family was not typical. If you still believe that she got away with something remenber whatever happened, it will be with her every day for the rest of her life.


N. Kirker   July 5th, 2011 3:57 pm ET

I feel with justice not being served today that it is without a doubt that change be made in our legal system with regard to jury's. I propose that jury's be composed of legal experts i.e. lawyers who are picked randomly in a lottery type set-up to serve as jurors due to the immense amount of information that is being thrown at everyday citizens that in my opinion are not qualified to determine and decipher to what extent an individual is guilty or not guilty. Moreover with all due respect to the jurors if asked they most likely would attest that they were overwhelmed and some may even have been influenced by individuals who may have been educated or over opinionated in a fashion that was intimidating. For that reason, I feel had the jury been composed of legal experts with the capacity to stay objective and non-conforming, justice would have been served today! What do you think CNN Legal Experts. Please Comment!


Sunny   July 5th, 2011 4:06 pm ET

There was a Dead Child in the swamp with duct tape on it's face in a trash bag. Does the jury think it died from natural causes?
No? Well then who do they think killed it?


Mary   July 5th, 2011 4:10 pm ET

Did the prosecution need the chloroform container in Caseys hands to get a conviction?


lana   July 5th, 2011 4:36 pm ET

I can not honestly believe that 12 people decided altogether that she did not murder her daughter. Well, she will be free with "time served" on Thursday and out partying this weekend. Unbelievable. My thought was wondering if she would get the death penalty or not. Instead she gets freed. i am livid with out justice system.


Ro   July 5th, 2011 4:37 pm ET

Well, I hope Casey is going to go find the baby's killer when she free, just like OJ did.....


regina   July 5th, 2011 4:58 pm ET

i do not believe in death but i was hoping for some kind of justice for caylee, i think of it in this way look where oj. is at and where micheal jackson is at, now we are all human and there is a man our (GOD) who sees, hears,and know everything so although it is justice for casey today july-05-2011 my god said he will fight our battle, casey might be free to go on about her life as if nothing has happen but that does not mean it will be a happy life, what has her freedom gave her,will it give her hell on earth, so to all mt fellow friends that are so broken today lets not foget there is a god and he said he will fight our battles,so to all of my friends let us keep caylee alive in our hearts,and let god have the last verdict!!


Karen   July 5th, 2011 5:17 pm ET

The jury acted appropriately. Where was the evidence? I congratulate Jose Baez and his team. It seems like the media has been trying to incite a riot in Orlando.
They seemed to be speculating and haven't been successful.


Maria   July 5th, 2011 5:24 pm ET

No system does not work there is no justice for Kaelee Anthony, poor child. Just because no one saw Casey does not mean se didn't kill her. I believe she did it, but what you do here on earth you pay it here also and that's when justice wsill be served.


Maria   July 5th, 2011 5:27 pm ET

No the system does not work, tAnd that here is no justice for Kaelee. I;m sure Casey kill her there is no doubt. But you know what? Whatever you do here is here where you pay for it.


Diane Akers   July 5th, 2011 5:38 pm ET

I am furious with the jury making such a stupid decision! What are they thinking? Lets just let every murderer walk free... Is that justice? Not in my book. VERY UPSET!!!!


Steve   July 5th, 2011 6:01 pm ET

Looks like the one that got the most punishment was the kid that gave the finger.....


David Ryser   July 5th, 2011 6:24 pm ET

The prosecution lost their credibility when the presented as fact lies about the computer hits on the cloraform. So many prosecutors in their zeal make up evidence. They should be prosecuted for false facts. We had a case like that here in NC on the Duke Lacrosse case made up facts. I feel the Fla. ones did the same thing and the juriors knew it. They knew she did something wrong. but went by the rules laid down by the juege


George   July 5th, 2011 6:48 pm ET

I garantee that George Anthony will leave Cindy in a few weeks, he knows that his daughter is guilty


regina   July 5th, 2011 6:53 pm ET

our justice system just proved to us that it is ok! for young mothers to discharge there babys when they get in our way, it does not matter who wins or who looses in this case and for anyone to celebrate in any kind is a disgrace to caylee,is our system basted on finding the truth for justice or knowing the truth and still saying that your client is innocent,i do not think i could sleep at night knowing that i just helped free someone who killed there baby our system says(and justice for all) well not for caylee marie anthony.


Scott   July 5th, 2011 7:00 pm ET

The Only solice we will get from this "Not Guilty" verdict is that Casey will have a horrible life living amongst the "Leaches and Scum" that will only be the ones to choose to be arund her..., just as OJ. But then she does have her "Imaginary Friends" To take care of her. And we thought OJ had a "Dream Team"


J. Harper   July 5th, 2011 7:13 pm ET

What a great country we live in! A self-centered parent makes a decides to dispose of a child who has become inconvenient and is shielded from the consequences of that decision by multiple attorneys at taxpayers' expense. The lawyers seem proud of today's result; throughout this process they've enabled this woman in the same way as her parents have. Only difference is they are well paid to do so. The system failed miserably today...but thankfully Casey's right to pursue the 'good life' has been protected...Is anyone concerned what will happen when she has another unplanned pregnancy?


Andy A. Baton Rouge, La   July 5th, 2011 7:17 pm ET

This jury must think that Caylee killed herself and stuffed her own body in two plastic bags, then a laundry bag and deposited herself in the swamp along Suburban Drive.
If you have ever wondered what happened to the jurors in the 1st OJ Simpson trial, wonder no more. They all moved to Florida!!!!!


Lore   July 5th, 2011 7:25 pm ET

You ran a beautiful tribute of photos of Caylee – truly heart-wrenching that an innocent little girl died and her mother went out partying. Thank you for the tribute. Porch lights on at 9 pm tonight in her memory. Let's pray for George, Cindy, and Lee – they are the other victims.


Vanessa Escamilla   July 5th, 2011 7:52 pm ET

I have a question, Since they already told Casey Anthony she is not guilty and since she might be a free woman on thursday lets say Casey Anthony admits to murdering Her daughter Caylee Anthony. Can they still convict her? or no since it would be considered double jeopardy?


janimaynyc   July 5th, 2011 8:21 pm ET

What world do these jurors live in? The evidence was compelling. It's ridiculous – makes me doubt our judicial system, no actually, of our educational system. Stupid jurors!


carol price   July 5th, 2011 9:18 pm ET

A dagger was plunged in to my heart today and the Florida justice system is to blame.....


Dixie   July 5th, 2011 10:02 pm ET

The Casey Anthony verdict today was the most pathetic example of criminal justice I've ever seen. There was no REASONABLE doubt in this case. Are the police and law enforcement agents now combing the country to find Caylee's murderer? Of course not because the justice system just set the murderer free. I'm from Canada and will never set foot in the USA again. No justice if you're the victim and no punishment if you're the perpetrator. What a travesty.


Linda   July 5th, 2011 11:03 pm ET

Out of respect for the law enforcement officers, and volunteers who were misled by Casey, the judge should impose the full sentence of 4 years for the charges she was guilty of, and not release her with just time served.


irene houle   July 6th, 2011 12:40 am ET

What happened?? Casey is good at putting on the little girl act and her lawyers even fell for it and so did a few other people and so did the jurors and that's because Casey is a spoiled brat who has been a spoiled little brat all of her life by mainly her mom! so many times I would have loved to be able to crawl into the T.V and slap those little girl pursed lips of hers and that "I am so innocent" little frown of her's! Didn't she say that "her baby picture's were cuter than Caylee's" yes she said that or something like that?! it just goes to prove how gullible so many can be! but not all of us!!It just goes to prove just how much Cindy spoiled her darling little brat,now Cindy's grand baby is dead because she meant nothing and again Casey means too much!


Nina Williamson   July 6th, 2011 6:46 am ET

All I can say is the jury didn't watch the same trial I did!!! This makes you say just like in the O J Simpson trial justice wasn't done!!! I hope the jurors on this sleep well at night!! This will cause a lot of people know our justice system doesn't really work.......

Venting in Alabama


amy trippett   July 6th, 2011 8:17 am ET

anyone who believes that little girl drowned is as much delirious as the jury. she covered her butt, by admitting to a drowning she knew she'd get off the death penalty charge. how much evidence does there have to be (chloriform searches, gatorade bottle w/ it and a suringe) she was probably drugging that girl every fri. and sat. night and putting her in the trunk while she was in the club partying. i don't think george molested her. that was her way of turning on her parents for telling the truth. yet in court her mom still tried to cover for her claiming she did the search on compter and it was proven she was at work. she was an adult, she could have left home a long time ago and used birth control!! when the death penalty is on the table it should be granted. i think the jury didn't want to put a pretty young girl to death. but it would have sent a serious message across this country>


Shar   July 6th, 2011 10:33 am ET

WOW! I had nightmares about the verdict. I am so restless and uneasy about the verdict. Something is soooo wrong here. I am so glad that Canada's jurisprudence is alot better.


ruthann belanger   July 6th, 2011 11:07 am ET

Casey...A child is a precious gift from God, Our love for this Child is OUR gift to God! What will he say on judgement day?


Andy A. Baton Rouge, La   July 6th, 2011 11:17 am ET

If Casey decides to look for Caylee's killer when she is released from jail, all she needs to do is walk to the nearest mirror.....

This case just magnifies how screwed up our government truely is (don't forget the judicial branch is part of our government)!!!

TIME FOR THE 2ND AMMENDMENT TO KICK IN?????


sheryl   July 6th, 2011 11:59 am ET

Did you notice how quickly and quietly george and cindy got up and out of the court room? they had to get home to change the locks on the doors before their murdering psychopath of a daughter gets there. even they couldn't believe the verdict....they thought they finally had gotten her out of the house! surprise,surprise.


Deborah Patterson   July 6th, 2011 12:18 pm ET

No matter what we thing it's not up to us it was up to the 12 jurors that matters. I've watched this case for the past 3 yrs.and yes she was a liar,yes she did so much wrong,but we really don't know what happened only Casey,Caylee and God . If this girl killed this child she will pay for it not by us but by God . She'll have to pay for all the souls she has taken from Caylee any children she may have had,grandchildren and so on.The only thing we can do is leave it to God and let these people( The Anthony's live the rest of their lives as best they can.My heart goes out to the family and I hope they can find some peace. Please people let this family go in peace and not threaten them with harm what does that make us. I think they have suffered enough .


Randi   July 6th, 2011 12:19 pm ET

i believe that the jury made the right decision in the fact that the state did not provided enough evidence! i mean come on what has the justice system turned to today. really it takes 4 MONTHS for police to go to the scene after a body has been called in! come on we was seaching for this little girl nationwide and when somethings reported of a body it takes the 4 months to get off the asses and go check it out! after the body has already been tampered with. so in my eyes its the state of flordias fault for lack of evidence and basically NOT DOING THEIR JOBS!


Joanne Hill-Watkins   July 6th, 2011 12:33 pm ET

I have a question;
If I recall correctly, it was stated that Casey Anthony had care of Caylee during the days; however, I understand that those that she was with during the day never saw her. Have I got my facts incorrect, or if the facts are, indeed, correct, where was Caylee during these times? Does this mean that Casey was neglecting Caylee, perhaps drugging her and leaving her someplace (hopefully not the trunk of the car!), and will the state pursue an investigation pertaining to her childcare outside of the child's death, especially in light of Casey's comments in her jailhouse letter stating that she wanted more children – would it not be irresponsible NOT to investigate if further children might be at risk?

The media has beat up on this girl for 3 years and now that things didn't go there way again they continue there on slot. I think both the prosecution and the defense have it wrong and that a 3rd story is the real truth!! The power of the media is the cause of the hysteria. The prosecution case was weak at best and Ashton was a jerk with his cocky attitude. Also perhaps all the objections of the prosecution being sustained and the defense objections be over ruled showed bias with the prosecution and left the jury wondering why. I could not convict her with the evidence I heard. I'm glad the system works and that not all cases are tried in the media!!!!


Mary   July 6th, 2011 2:18 pm ET

I think the prosecution did a great job with what they had, I hope they send Casey far away after her release. Most people do have common sense. Whether the evidence showed it or not.Caylee's mother Casey was the last one known with that beautiful little girl, Next time she was seen she was a skeleton in the swamp chewed on by animals. I am a Mother of 4, grandmother of 3. I followed the case for the last 6 weeks very closely. She obviously did something terrible to that poor baby."YET" She walks away free for now. There is a thing called Karma, God knows what happened. Casey will get hers in another way someday. I was raised in a very disfunctional family, I choose to be honest, I choose to be a great Mother & Grandmother. If she tries to capitolize on her daughters death, we need to not participate. Do not watch the interviews, do not buy the book, etc...
God be with her family, Caylee indured after death a tropical storm, "but" The Anthony family are in the aftermath of Hurricane Casey, I pray that Casey lives everyday remembering and having night mares about what she knows happened to precious Caylee. I hope it drives her insane. She should not get one more minute of our attention that she so thrives on. Let her live a desolate life alone. That child was so disrespected to be dumped like trash and it seemed her mother just forgot about her.. Casey got to live the good life during that time. Let's do not allow her to live the good life now.


sara   July 6th, 2011 2:38 pm ET

why doesn't somebody look into to Rutland MA story of the woman who's son died in a car accident. The son told his mother before he died that he had a daughter the same age as Caylee in Florida and that he had signed his parental rights over to the mother and the grand parents first names were george and cindy. Its been on our local news in Boston MA?


Heather   July 6th, 2011 3:40 pm ET

I was just sitting here wondering... now that were in the age of facebook and twitter and blogs do the lawyers for these televised trials hire people to monitor the computer traffic and opinions to help them keep on track? I find it hard to believe that they may have been doing that during this trial since if someone was paying attention they may have realized where they were going wrong. The court of public opinion is a good judge of how a jury might react. Hopefully police agencies as well do look for tips this way as well. People will post all sorts of tid bits that piece the puzzle together, actually without even knowing how much they actually know about the truth. Who knows where gut theories come from.


Lane   July 6th, 2011 3:47 pm ET

I think that the jury came back with the correct verdict. They could not convict her on this circumstanial evidence. In fact there was no evidence there was only trumpted up evidence by the State. There is so many media people that is not being fair. They had convicted Casey Anthony from day one. Now that the charges are proven false they all want to cry foul. Good Verdict, I agree with it a100 %, no proof! Little Caylee Anthony's death was an accident and the truth will come out one day, but will we recognize it as truth? Maybe she drowned in the boyfriends pool? Anyone ever think of this? This is another theory.


Arthur T. Brand   July 6th, 2011 3:50 pm ET

I believe they had enough evidence on casey Anthony for ManSlaughter. I believe the main reason they did not convict was they were angrey from the very beginning and they wanted to go home. Another reason that they not face the media.


Danielle Morrison   July 6th, 2011 3:51 pm ET

Am sick of hearing that our jury system is great. It needs to be altered. This reasonable doubt theory is causing so many guilty people to get away with murder. Juries are afraid to use common sense.


laura   July 6th, 2011 4:06 pm ET

Caylee at the nursing home video June 2008 she was singing while turning the pages of her book 'You never know how much I love you please dont take my sunshine away" Was she sending a message !!! pleading for her life and saying good bye to us all! every time I think of that song my heart break for that little angel


jake   July 6th, 2011 4:16 pm ET

I had heard prior to this trial that court TV ETAL were agents of the prosecution and I believe what I've heard since the trial ended has proved that to be true. The prosecution over charged and under performed. The judge did his best to undermine the defense at almost every turn. The jury spoke. She might have killed her child but nothing I saw would cause me to vote any differently than the jury did


joe dicey   July 6th, 2011 4:23 pm ET

everyone is pissed because the media marked her guilty before she had her time in court she is not guilty instead of pointing the finger at her find the person or persons the is responsible. i am proud to be an american and live in this great country. our justice system works and that was proven yesterday. if she makes a movie writes a book i will be the first to stand in line with money in hand........


laura   July 6th, 2011 4:29 pm ET

Did any see H.Bais and Cayse when they came in moments before the jury came in and announce the verdict I did ! onwftvchanel nine fl. They were happy smurking talking with their eyes wishpering with a grim ... DID they have INSIDE informationS ???


Carolann   July 6th, 2011 4:48 pm ET

Can someone explain to me why Casey didn't confess, in jail, that this was an accident instead of going thru this whole drama?


laura   July 6th, 2011 5:07 pm ET

the system work if you are pretty, young, cry, lie, lie,cry,lie look small , look fragil, lie, claim to be abused, claim no one care for them, have immaginering friends, have a defense layers who scream yell and accuse every one else of lying accusing , the parents, the cops, detectives, investigators, fbi ,volunteers serchers, messangers, prosecuters who willing to trow every ony under the bus to become famos and play to the news media. there is no justice for the young the week the innoces who can not speek not for CAYLEE


Jack   July 6th, 2011 5:20 pm ET

Didn't you heartless people see the 3 years of fear flow out of Casey when they found her not guilty. It made me cry. She looked like just what she is: a scared little girl that did something terribly wrong and the whole Roman army came down on her. Nobody really knows what happened so why not let God decide how to deal with her. Remember the state can make anybody look like they deserve to be crucified. What if by some wierd stretch of the imagination she's actually innocent?


Heather   July 6th, 2011 7:44 pm ET

They say she will get out tommorrow due to time served...but I thought she was sentenced in the cheque fraud charges and she was using part of the time she has already served against that sentence. How can she use that time against both? Due to the expenseo f the searches that ensued due to her lies, can Judge Perry give her the maximum without any parole? Even it it still ends up being a few years more..that could appease the mob of people that are heartbroken over this verdict.


Nina Williamson   July 6th, 2011 8:07 pm ET

The first mistake was a jury from another county!!! They didn't feel a civic duty for Orange County. They were ready to go home from day 1 after they knew it wasn't their home county!! That explains the quick verdict with all the evidence they were supposed to look at and took the easiest way home......

How do you tie someone with the scene of the crime when you don't know where it is or when it took place?

Verdict of innocent should have taken 5 minutes, not 11 hrs.


Idalia Cabrera   July 7th, 2011 8:54 am ET

My friends the same way they could not find her guilty/ SHE will NEVER be FREE. She will be hunted the rest of her life as a BABY KILLER. No men will marry her thinking she will kill another child. Who want to hire a BABY KILLER. Lawsuit will come. Her safety will be in the back od her head. Nobody will want to be your friends,talking about friends. You think someone will want be associated with you. God will go upon on you and you will see. Just like that cloud in Arizona. You will fear the rest of your life. Nothing go unpunished on the eyes of GOD


Sunny   July 7th, 2011 9:38 am ET

The jury should have based it's decision on REASONABLE doubt.
Not ALL doubt. If it was an accident why didn't Casey mourn Caylee'sdeath. That was the reasonable thing to do.


Sunny   July 7th, 2011 9:43 am ET

There is whole new set of morals in this country now. Anything goes if it makes you happy!

We all know the book deals & movie deals are in the works for Casey but can Zannieda Gonzalas file a lean or civil suit against her for deformation of character.

Place of death= dead child
Time of death = dead child

Who was the only person in charge of her daughter that day?
Casey Anthony = Guilty


Sunny   July 7th, 2011 10:34 am ET

I saw a film clip of Cheney Mason before he joined the defense saying he expected that Casey would most likely get LWOP.
Even he knew she was guilty.


Jim   July 7th, 2011 10:54 am ET

One thing that should be considered and is very concerning to me is the reaction of the people protesting. Some of those folks had found her guilty before the trial started. This should be a concern for all Americans. These people show no respect for the constitution and for what this country stands for. Do they want to go back to the days when people were judged by their neighbors and hung or shot without a day in court? Things don't always go the way you want them to.

I'm telling you this chic is like a little kid. She was all happy with her hair down and a low neck sweater when she thought she was going to get a shiny, new toy and then when she found out she wasn't she started to pout again...and the way she melted that big lawer woman and turned her into a new mother, amazing! Get back in your cell Loretta.


Donna   July 7th, 2011 12:31 pm ET

I have been watching whole trial on TV. Today when she came into the court room she looked different. Then when Jose came in her face lit up and he sit down with her it was like they were flirting with each other. I heard she may go to live with him after she gets out. Now honestly!


Edwards   July 7th, 2011 12:37 pm ET

I like most others am very hurt and anguished at the verdict, but it is what it is, nothing can be done now, but I would like to say this, getting a sentenceby man is one thing,but having to live with ones self for therest of ones life is the worts sentencing one can get, conscience is the one thing will stay with you every breath you take until the last one, i hope you never rest again.


Hugewaste   July 7th, 2011 12:43 pm ET

I hope Casey gets the same protection that she gave to her own daughter "CAYLEE"!


Sam   July 7th, 2011 1:04 pm ET

I don't understand the upset at this woman. She Was Found NOT GUILTY. This isn't her fault....it's the fault of the Prosecution. The blame should be placed there. She has been found NOT GUILTY and it doesn't make one iota of business what any of you happen to think she did.

Personally, I am of the opinion her family were more involved than she and because her father is a retired cop...., well, need I say more?


bboury   July 7th, 2011 1:33 pm ET

The HLN broad cast keeps saying that no one else had reason to kill Caylee ?? First of all who knows who might want to kill Caylee ? Casey's friends,George's prior work related convictions, let alone it may have been an accident as well ? But Mr. Anthony might have a lot of reasons to kill her such as jealousy that his wife paid more attention Caylee than to him.He may have wanted to be a grandfather not a dad. He had raised his kids thinking he could retire with his wife like most of with kids hope will happen some day!! Maybe he just didn't want to go through it all over again ?? That's why the jury had no choice but to let her go. Too many unanswered questions. Who,with what, when and where were NOT answered!!!! What else could the jury have done?? This country can't kill people based on anger and the reasoning that someone must pay ! Where's the justice in that ??


Rae Ann   July 7th, 2011 2:52 pm ET

Release jurors names: If they are releasing their names in order to receive money, disneyworld tickets, etc. then their names should be released period. They should not be able to pick and choose. NOBODY should be able to make money off of this poor child and not have her killer punished.


Cheryl   July 7th, 2011 3:06 pm ET

She did it......the jurors will have to live with their decision they came to so quickly just so they could go home! There was obviously no deliberations in this case, if so they would have been going over every bit of evidence for days. As the viewers in the court room stated they never even took notes so how could they review the entire case and try to put the peices together. Maybe the prosecution did not have enough evidence for pre-meditation but they sure had enough circumstancial evidence for one of the lesser charges. Casey is a liar will always be a liar. She will rot in hell for what she did. The news channels should take all reporting off the air as Casey Anthony does not deserve anything; not our time or the money wasted setting her free. Let's remember that 2 1/2 year old baby and give her the love she deserves.


JC   July 7th, 2011 3:39 pm ET

UNBELIEVABLE!
If not for our freedom of speech, I bet the nay-sayers hating on the Casey Anthony ("NOT GUILTY" verdict X 12 jurors) the haters would probably kill themselves. The prosecution did not prove their charges and thank GOD that our legal system does work. I would like the nay-sayers to entertain the thought by asking themselves the question "what if it was them in Caseys place" or any situation that the buldog attitude of sloppy police work and prosecuters out for blood turned their attentions on the nay-sayers? WOW-What a reality check that would be; because reality is when it happens to you! To take a life through our legal system is a dramatic event and if there is just cause in doing so it must be proven first–that is the only protection we have as a citizen and if you don't believe that, read-up on the crimes of A. Hitler and the SS because the story books are full of them. I dare the nay-sayers have such disrespect for our Constitution!


Clifford Ives   July 7th, 2011 4:08 pm ET

What about charging Casey with conspiracy to cover up a death and/or improper burial of a body?

Geeeze, people get more punishment for dumping animals.


Linda   July 7th, 2011 4:11 pm ET

I don't think Casey 'threw her dad and brother under the bus'. I think they went along with these accusations in an attempt to confuse the jury and take their focus away from the task at hand. Just like Cindy knew exactly what she was doing when she claimed to have made the internet searches. They were doing all they could to save Casey. I think that Casey will vanish when she is released; and in a few months, her parents will leave the Orlando area and join her, where they will again to live as a family. Casey will write her book, as will George, and life for them will go on.


S. Rawlins   July 7th, 2011 5:25 pm ET

Where is the money for all her legal counsel coming from?


Sunny   July 7th, 2011 6:19 pm ET

I suppose one would have to have some bit of intelligence to figure out that she killed her daughter without having an eye witness!
The people that think she is innocent and her parents are guilty of anything are only going by what their lying daughter said!
You call that innocent until proven guilty?


Jack   July 7th, 2011 6:57 pm ET

As if this trial wasn't strange enough, Casey ended up getting the same number of days as the sneaky, preppy kid did for giving "laughing guy" the finger!


erica   July 7th, 2011 8:11 pm ET

Will casey walk free wensday or will she stay in jail for the rest of her life


erica   July 7th, 2011 8:16 pm ET

I think casey shol'd not be set free and she celd her dalter she shoul'd
not be let go now she solu'd be in jail for 4 years I think I don't know about yall but I think yall shoul'd


candy   July 8th, 2011 9:49 am ET

Why was Casey credited for time served on the theft and bad check charges and given credit again on the same time served for the police misleading charges?How many get out of jail tickets does she get for the same time served.I think her time should have started all over after she was given time served on the checks which would have put her in jail now,for a little while, at least for these charges.If there is no double jeopardy, there should be no double dipping on time served.


Linda   July 8th, 2011 10:12 am ET

On Wednesday, on our local TV (Tampa, FL) a lawyer from Morgan and Morgan, who is representing Zannieda Gonzalas, said that a subpoena has been issued to Casey in jail. He said that this was done so that she was served before she could leave the state upon her release. I have not heard any mention of this since then. Did anyone else hear this?


sharon   July 8th, 2011 10:39 am ET

Believe me.....Casey will screw up again.....it's only a matter of time....she doesn't have the money O.J. had....she is a sociapath, and she has learned nothing, except how to work the system.

There is that lower end of society that will accept her, but when you run with scum, you become scum. And she is well on her way.

Like her ex-friends said.....she needs to leave the country....but I don't know if she can if she has a lawsuit against her.....

She has no idea what awaits her when she goes skipping down the sidewalk into decent societ.....


Valerie   July 8th, 2011 12:22 pm ET

Don't be suprise that the person she is going to have her NEXT child with is her Attorney.?????


colleen west   July 8th, 2011 6:30 pm ET

So what if they just want us to think she is getting out on wensday. with the news all over this case, what if she really is getting out today and for her safety they are just telling every one she will get out on wensday. If u rember the woman that came out to give every one the info she had nothing in writing she just said that they new that the news and the people were all on pins an needles for the info on her date to go home. just food for thought


Marsha   July 9th, 2011 10:47 am ET

I watched this case from the day it was announced that baby was missing. I am disabled and watched every minute of the trial except for church on Sunday morning. The minute the jury said Not Guilty on the first three charges I turned my television off, I prayed not for that sweet innocent little baby, because she is in GOD's care now, I prayed for Casey because she is a lost sole, I prayed for George, Cindy, and Lee and for what ever the troubles are in that family that would cause such loyalty to try to protect someone that tried to hid the location of that child for so long until there was nothing left but bones. All of this is not on our hands, the prosecutors hands nor the defense they all had a job to do. However I believe the Jury had plans on the week coming up and knew that they would be held over for 48 more hours if they found her guilty and that played a part in their verdict. Look how fast they got out of the court room. Not one of the 12 talked to the press. I've heard what the alternates have said, they were thinking like her she just wanted to have a good time. This jury will suffer reprecussions from the verdict they handed down from citizens because so many heard from the prosecution that they lived only 2 hours away, gave the county and name of the town.


Nina Williamson   July 9th, 2011 10:54 am ET

Why can the general public watch Casey's trial and a very high percentage would vote her guilty and not even one of the seated jurors that watched the same as we did could even get one quilty verdict? Something is just not right with this jury!!! I know the majority didn't want to serve but was forced to serve anyway, maybe this is their answer for a speedy trial that the judge wanted?

Venting in Alabama


Chris C.   July 9th, 2011 2:05 pm ET

Two items of interest that nobody has touched on,
1; the alternate juror speaks in the plural(we,us,all) that raises a question as he was not part of the deliberations and therefore was not supposed to be discussing the case with anybody, so his statements tell me the jurors were discussing the case before they were supposed to!!!!
2; If Casey Anthony discusses during an interview she is paid for any of the topics in which she lied( the nanny, working at the park etc ) could she be prosecuted for profiting from the crime since the lie was the crime and she was convicted?
I believe the Jury just did not understand the instructions presented to them!


Angelina   July 9th, 2011 2:49 pm ET

this is SO very sad......how could she be "not guilty" when she didn't even REPORT her beautiful baby missing for 31 days !! ?? that ALONE should have raised reasonable doubt !!!!! and the question i keep wondering about......did they EVER mention the father of this beautiful child ??? do they even KNOW who the father is ???


Lil Momma   July 10th, 2011 1:53 pm ET

how in the world they showing proof when it just they are writing on paper where is the real proof like a dna percentages or lie detector tests. i mean wtf saying there no hand prints shes smart enough to use freaking gloves come on now wtf is the world coming to they should no better is it bout the race because they dont treat other people like that. How we can rest the cast wait until when sommeone else get in to something as a first degree and watch what happens


Paul   July 11th, 2011 10:59 am ET

I hope Vinnie or Nancy urges George Anthony to take a lie deterctor test. Why not? If he didn't molest his daughter it would be recorded for all those judgemental citizens out there, though inadmissible in court. Then what would Jose the morally banrupt defense attorney say then?


Paul   July 11th, 2011 11:10 am ET

There is some real merit to the thought that jurors should have a higher level of comprehension than this narrow minded and easily distracted group did. When I heard 3 different jurors state that George Anthonys behavior was unacceptable on the stand I was floored. Anyone who knows the dynamics of people knows that Biaz had just accused him of the worst possible charge in disgusting detail with no proof and stated over and over during deliberation that George was involved in everything. When questioning George on the stand he was sarcastic and inferred repeatedly that he was guilty of being a heinous person. George did everything he could to maintain his composure under such world wide scrutiny. No one would have reacted any better and it made Bias out to be the ultimate scum of the earth cause he had no proof. Doesn't anyone find it odd that the girl in jail right next to her had her father bring her dead child to her for drowning in a pool also??? So, lets see. The only 2 cases in the world of this happening just so happened to be next to each other??? Come on moronic jurors. If that girl was in prison for manslaughter why didn't you convict her on at least that charge since she admitted to Jose (her confessionist) that she knew the kid drowned and did nothing about it? I am baffled and I think the jury system is tainted and inappropriate in these kinds of high profile cases.


MIchael   July 11th, 2011 4:10 pm ET

JoAnn D.   July 11th, 2011 7:00 pm ET

I don't believe for a minute that Caylee drown. Biaz said George was holding Caylee and said to Casey, 'look what you've done'!!
Who did what with her body? No one has ever addressed this.
I don't think the jurors had a clue as how to sort through evidence and come to a reasonable verdict. You don't have to give someone a cause of death, but my first clue would have been the duct tape! They believed what they wanted to believe. No justice for that precious child.!!


Jennifer47Florida   July 11th, 2011 11:23 pm ET

Its amazing how the courts overlooked how Casey was withholding evidence of where her child was. If not reporting your child missing for 31 days isnt child neglect, then I don't know what is. She was acquitted of this crime...how is that possible? Anyone else would have served time. I know of cases where parents have left their children in cars for a few hours and they were arrested for child neglect. To my knowledge signing someone Else's name and cashing that check is forgery and to my knowledge it is a crime. Your name is not on the account so you shouldn't be stealing money. Ive had someone steal my identity and the bank pressed charges against the person. The culprit did the exact same as Casey did, they had a spending spree on someone else s identity. I guess the Hitler theory still exists. You have to be white and you can get away with murder, identity theft, and check fraud. So why isn't the state pursuing theses issues..the world would love to know.

This is on behalf of Casey's dead child who cant speak for herself. Please respond and answer my questions.


Jack   July 12th, 2011 12:49 pm ET

The many cable news programs are right, people need to get over their anger. All of the jurors came to the same conclusion for one reason: the prosecution and law enforcement sucked! Cable news has found a way to channel all that energy into something positive...commercial profit.


NIcole   July 12th, 2011 7:53 pm ET

The jury did what they had to do The Prosecution couldn't prove their case. Leave that girl along only God can judge her not you guys. and if people are thinking about hurting her then you are just as wrong let that girl go on with her life dont nobody no what happen but God, Casey and Caylee. When judgement day come we all have to stand along and if she did do it God will handle her. Thats whats wrong with everybody now people minding other folks busniess. Mind your own business. Thats between her and God not the public.

I have no other opinion other than she is a thief, cheat, and a pathological liar. She doesn't know what the truth means. Her and her attorney must be thrown in jail and have the key thrown away. How disgusting can Baez be on his opening and closing statements. All the proof was there but he swayed the jurors into believing something false. Someday she will face judgment and it can't be soon enough. There is a beautiful child gone, and Casey is going to profit from this murder. She should not be entitled to anything. I know I will never watch or buy anything that profits to her. I have seen more lies, lies, lies and more lies to last a lifetime. How she can live with herself is beyond me, after killing her beautiful baby, and throwing her own father under the bus to take the rap for her. I am disgusted with the judicial/law system. Lawyers should not be able to say what they want to say and throw anything that sticks on the wall. This has been the worst time of my life. I have been angered and saddened these past few weeks. So now, my theory is, I can kill somebody, get acquitted, and get MEGA bucks, along with a crooked lawyer. I guess you can say crime pays. It certainly did with her.

Shirley   July 15th, 2011 3:30 pm ET

I'm STUNNED by the verdict...NOT guilty! This is one of the strongest
circumstantial cases that I've ever seen! I've sat on a jury, and NO you do not usually have the "smoking gun" , or DNA! Beyond a reasonable doubt does not mean NO DOUBT AT ALL. Example: If I leave a fish on the table, and I forgot to put out the cat...stepped outside for a moment, came back in, and then noticed the cat licking her paws, the fish gone...It's a pretty sure thing that the cat ate the fish! Now I didn't see the cat eat the fish, I had stepped out side, yes there is SOME doubt, but it's a pretty sure thing. Circumstantial case huh? I have no idea what world the jurors are living in. I just hope if I ever need jurors, that they don't throw away their common sense because they watch too much CSI.

I was not there to see her kill that little baby BUT-- neither were any of you-- how do you people say you know she did it???? you should all be in hollywood since you are all super human beings with such talent - these so called lawyers on these talk shows are causing all you lynch mobbers- you all need to get a life and find something better to do with your time- all these people in Florida actually bringing there children to this protesting should be ashamed of themselves, just because you are so uneducated , your children don't need to be involved in this kind of lynch mobbing, bad bad parenting, I have to 6 yr old granddaughters and they are not allowed to see any of this horrible scene on tv - what kind of parents bring their little children to something so aweful shame shame shame to expose your young children to this ! and all these protestors talk about Casey being a bad parent - WHAT A JOKE

While I don't believe in the death penalty, I feel Casey got away with the murder of her child. She should have spent nothing less than 25 years in prison. Whether the State presented enough evidence or not, all the evidence speaks for itself. Casey never reported the child missing and she doesn't seem to care even now. All Casey cares about is herself. May she have Caylee filled dreams for the rest of her entire life.

Why are the people complaining about the tax money it is costing for the extra cops, security, etc.????? They are the reason for it all. If they would go home and the media would move on, all the security would not be necessary?????

Did HLN get a shot at Casey Anthony getting into her get away car, in the sheriff's office coming out she had that stupid look on her face but as soon as she gets into the back of the car, she had a smile from ear-to ear. I get upset inside at the fact that she ruin her parents and brothers life that she gets to go on with her life. Anyone look into jose biaz bio, dead beat dad, forged checks, and as the bar assoc. stated it took him eith years to get his license because he showed no respect for the legal system. He is holding onto his cash cow because he will get rich. Also his daughter was on face book and the remark was 'my dad is law' God is law and he will take care of it. It will come out later from her that jose used her.

does everyone know what it cost to keep people in prison

If the residents of Florida are going to be paying for all Miss Anthony's appeals, she should at the very least have to sit her lying butt in the state of Florida while all this is going on and not be on vacation somewhere, thanks

What I have been wondering, since the verdict was read.... if the story of little Caylee "drowning in the pool" was indeed true... shouldn't somebody face punishment for her body being dumped in the woods?? If she actually "drowned" would coroners not be able to detact so, in an autopsy??? ... This whole Casey Anthony case, trial & vedict has left me absolutely DISGUSTED! Did these jurors not realize that this was a little defenseless baby girl who lost her life!!! Did they not raise the same questions as I have, as a lot of people have?? Not only am I disgusted with Casey, but I am disgusted with that jury for clearly not caring for little Caylee or being bothered in taking the time to really question EVERYTHING in this case and a potential murderer walks free.

Question to Nancy Grace – Nancy mentioned that Casey was relaxing in Mexico. How come she is allowed to leave the country? Doesn't she relinquish her passport as a convicted felon?

Plus if she is on probation how can she leave the state now?

this woman should have been jailed for life are even put to death like now.if you have smelled a dead body before you never forget that smell. they just opened the door for others to do things to their children and just get away with it. that is so sad for the little ones out there.
