Casey Anthony defense: Declare Fla. death penalty unconstitutional

I think everyone has forgotten about the real reason for this trail the senseless death af a pretty,sweet precious baby girl. I think Cindy has proven to everyone where Casey learned how to lie. I think charges should be brought up against her for getting on the stand and lying like that. Do they (Cindy and the defense team) think that the public and the jury is really that stupid! I think she is guily and the ONLY emotion you have ever seen from Casey was when her brother was on the stand crying, not when they were going into details about how her baby died and was thrown away like trash! She is scum of the earth and should rot in jail.

Why does Judge Perry need to rule on the defense motion about declaring the death penalty unconstitutional if Caylee drowning was an accident and Casey is not guilty? Also on Casey's competency, with the amount of lies she has told, and her "imaginary" friends she probably wasn't competent to stand trial to begin with, so why let her continue with her lies now?

Casey's lawy er is trying to get the judge to not give the death sentance if Casey is found guilty, Claiming that it is unconstitutional, But it is not unconstitutional. If it was, a person that kills a cop can not be put to death, and what abaut the inosent people that get killed in war zone? It is denying their constitutional rights And all the Gi's that have died in wars, it would be unconstitutional to have them fight a war so they would not get killed. All that Caseys lawyer wants is to try to get Casey off the death sentance, He knows that he has a loseing battle. They are runing out of things to say.

Why is the Anthony family allowed to sit in the courtroom while all other witnesses are sequestered??

Under no circumstance should Casey Anthony be executed with such sketchy evidence.

I have a friend who has been diagnosed as bipolar however recently she had a psychotic break with reality. She started talking complete nonsense or I guess delusional. It only lasted a day. She was given medication and acted drugged from the medication which turned out to be an overdose. She had a very painful reaction because of the overdose in her joints. Anyway my point is did Casey have a psychotic break from the stress and over the weekend was given medication. Which is why she appears ok today.

Hmm, how about the taking of the life of your own daughter ? she was denied all her rights! NO WAY ! Don't kill if you don't want to get Killed back!! I sure hope Judge Perry doesn't waste his time actually considering this motion!
Casey has made a complete mockery of her daughter's life and this just goes to show how much she NEVER valued it because all she cares about is saving her own sorry skin. Every time I see that woman on tv I just want to punch her in the face. She makes me sick.

To me, the video does not show enough. Shows a couple of spots which I have a hard time relating to the later pictures showing a cleared area, especially where Caylee's remains were found. Need an overlay of the video spots on the cleared area. From what the video does show, you would need to thoroughly search every inch because of so much flora and trees. Very dense. Why the investigator, Dominic Casey did not hack through this flora is puzzling; unless he did not want to contaminate a possible crime scene. Not very impressive at this point.

put her on the stand and let her continue to tell tall tales, thats what she get for thinking she can kill a child and get away with it, I admit the justice system has to work but she dont deserve the time of day. i think the laughing and inappropriate crying and behavior is just one more of her tricks. The mother is a liar and that was proven friday when she was on the stand. The only person that uphold his integrity is the father, but stupid

A psychic may be able to tell you where an object is at that moment. They cannot tell you where the object will be thirty days from now.

I want to know why they keep going round and round with whether her remains were there the whole time. She borrowed a shovel, she dug a hole and it was covered probably after she was in the trunk for 3 to 5 days. Then who knows what they went through, either dug up by animals, moved about by rain, etc. Those remains could have moved in 10 different directions before they were found. But I am certain they were there the whole time. In addition, that place is practically a jungle you cannot even see the ground let alone in front of you. It is possible Kronk saw something earlier, but it moved between his calls and the time it was finally found. Sorry this is so long but George Anthony would not do such a sloppy job of covering up this so called 'accident' he was a law enforcement officer!! Thanks for reading

It just dawned on me, casey suffocated caylee, put duct tape over her mouth and nose, put her in a plastic bag and also in a laundry bag. And then dumped her in the wooded area. And then told the cops that a phoney nanny kidnapped her. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over my eyes!

The Body must have been in the woods for at least six months because foliage and weeds etc were going through the canvas bag and through Caylees bones – have the prosecution forgotten?

I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory however: perhaps while casey was in jail her parents hired pi's to place the body, as to confound the authorities. In a moment of weakness casey told her parents about the death of the baby and rather than risk th loss of both daughter & granddaughter they conspired to have the body planted after casey told them where it was and how the baby died.

In my opinion, I think the break down between Lee and Casey was about shifting loyalties bwtween them. Lee ousted before birth included only when Casey needed him. I believe Casey made cloroform, doped Calee, put her to "bed" in the trunk. Once she was asleep she taped her mouth in case she woke up early, [not having experience with cloroform], and went partying. When she went to retrieve Calee, she was dead. Then I think she left her in the trunk for how many days in a panic not knowing what to do. Then I think she turned to the one person she felt close to and could trust to keep her secret, and confided in Lee and I think he helped her. I think the promise from him to her was to never tell. It is not that he couldn't believe Calee was dead, but thats Casey could deliberately harm her and then try to hide it. What other options did she have if she felt she could not deal with this alone? She could not turn to the doting grandparents.

Just when I think this Defense couldn't possible get any more ridiculous, I'm told that a PSYCHIC told their investigator where Caylee's body was! Really??? What's next? Space aliens stole the body and gave it to Kronk?

Many observers of Casey Anthony's trial voice the same query - does she realize that this is a death penalty trial? Sad to see.

Her apparent narcissism is so unsettling to watch. This morning, before the start of the court session, at defense counsel table, she is looking up through her lashes at the men, and SMILING.....

Three psychologists were assigned by the judge to examine her - at length, I am guessing - over the weekend. That would be ALL about Casey. She could speak to them ad nauseum about h-e-r-s-e-l-f.

The most disturbing element for me is that she seems to revel in this personal attention. Her disorder is such that, she loves the attention and control she is exerting over this trial and the participants. Every thing is about HER. And she seems to think now that, because she WANTS everything to end favorably for her, it will!!! It is that simple for the egotist, narcissist - whatever you call her.

Despite the defense flanking maneuvers, and smoke and mirrors, and red herrings, the prosecution has proven its case against this wicked girl.

Hey,

Maybe one of those doctors prescribed her some meds to help her "cope" with proceedings? That would help explain all the shits and giggles in court this morning...

Dear In session Team; Your coverage of the on the Casey Anthony case is spot on as always. My inquiry to this case is, considering Casey's undisputable , self serving and pathological lying. Question: Have the Prosecutors entertained the idea or probability that Casey used chloroform to sedate Little Caylee on a regular nightly basis, so she could maintain unsavory night life? Futher more it would make sense about the duct tape and heart sticker being used to anchor the chloroform to Caylee's mouth and nose to keep her sedated for hours, while she was at the Clubs parting . It seems to make perfect sense, considering her mother (cindy) stated she was going to take her to court for custady of Caylee. It all makes perfect sense lyning about the nanny to get her mother off her back. the nanny was the (chloroform) ? One time to many and things went wrong ,duct tape could have caused aspiration of vomit or just limited lilttle Caylee's air way, The Prosecution needs to look at the time stamps on the pictures of Casey out parting and find out who was babysitting Caylee for the month of June? Casey is in such denial ,she thinks she's un touchable. All the smoke screens...drowning..kidnapping! For God"s Sake Casey tell the TRUTH! Just for once in your life put Little Calee FIRST! Its never to late to be a mother! Fess-up to your actions ....You need to ask Caylee to forgiveness! Casey make peace with your Child. Little Caylee at the least deserves that much from her Mother! For such a Sweet Little LIFE cut so short ! I Pray God Gives You Strength to do the right thing by Little Caylee <3 Sincerely, Cynthia

The split second snaps of Casey displaying homicidal rage in the courtroom , as a sidebar took place, brought to my memory the second in the Ted Bundy trial when he was acting as his own defense attorney and his expression of a split second of similar homicidal rage was captured on camera.That photo went around the world and people saw for a brief moment, the real, true nature of Ted Bundy. So many have questioned, "Who is the real Casey Anthony?" Those split seconds revealed on camera the true nature of Casey Anthony. It is not difficult to imagine what a person would be capable of doing if such a rage arose at a moment when no one was around to restrain its outward expression through murderous action. Those bared teeth, those lips drawn back in a snarl, that arm and hand flashing forward in a stabbing motion toward her "adversary" depict the truth of her in a way millions of words could never reveal. When Attorney Baez stood in front of her to keep the camera from recording her real self, she needed a very long time to come back to reality. As she tried to suppress those violent emotions, she appears dazed and confused, almost like a person coming out of a seizure.This moment shows why she should not testify-it wouldn't take the prosecution any time at all to elicit the rage she keeps inside herself.

IF Caylee died in the pool, where is her bathing suit? Did Casey change her clothes before burying her? Was the wet suit in the laundry? Was it in the trash? Why haven't they mentioned this?

if indeed the jury believes the pool drowning theory,will george anthony be charged with any kind of criime for the alleged "dumping" of caylees body, and is there no penalty to the anthony family for giving false testimony, or changing their story from previous depositions? does anyone feel the tears of lee anthony were "crocodile" tears to solicit sympathy as i do? there is so much more to this than meets the eye and it is a shame our justice sytem will not allow a lot of information into the trial that is known , such as her check writing and credit card abuse..i do not feel sorry for cindy anthony as some tv hosts do, because she allowed her daughters behavior and did not fight for that little babys well being until the child was missing for 31 days...thanks

How much longer can Kronk go without duct-taping another female vicitm?

I strongly respect the Death Plently. However I do not think this is a proper case to seak it.

On another note, Casey could've very easily got rid of daughter by leading her to the pool and dunking her until she was dead and lifeless, called the police and couldv'e been out of jail by now. I really think she did die by accident. I really believe she was given too much chloroform and Casey used it on her while she went clubbing, and placed her in the trunk. I also think she did this more than once and, this child was at an age where she could possibly tell her grandmother her mommy put her back there and pointed to the trunk. If George or Lee Anthony lie and admit they have on occasion molested Casy in some sort of way so Casey would be spared the death penalty, the world is surely going to hell in a hat basket. Jose Baez would've been a real asset to her defence had he did a little investigation of his own and gone to her Jr. and High School and gotten to the bottom of the abuse Casey's claims to have happened. Cindy Anthony was a nurse and didn't know her own child was pregnant. Her brother saw her stomach and chose not to believe it and disregarded it. Cindy never went to Casey's school to find out why her child was'nt graduating, never spoke to teachers about her behavior or inattendance? Are you kidding me?

I think Duct-Tape should be the manner of execution for Casey Anthony. Nothing cruel or unusual about it. An eye for an eye.

I know why the defense wanted a competency evaluation. When you discuss this theory/fact I want the credit. Nobody has stated this theory:

Casey's brother testified and his emotions were genuine. Casey also became very emotional and did not know how left out her brother felt and how everybody, including Casey excluded him with the pregnancy. Casey has told her defense that they are not allowed to bring up any thing about Lee abusing her. I am not sure if he did or didn't but once he showed how hurt he was she did not feel like she could hurt him further by having her lawyer accuse him, if she knows it is not true or that even if it was that she could not humilate him and hurt him to help herself. Therefore she instructed her lawyers not to pursue questiojning hhim, as orginally planned. However, because her lawyer had already layed it out in opening statements, he would not be appropriately representing her if he did not point out to the court that she was refusing to accuse/confront the brother to her own detriment.

Thanks
Ginger

PS Remember I am not one who figured it out, evenn though other people will try and take credit for it.

The death penalty is barbaric, unfair and disproportionally applied to poor people. The thought of killing anyone who has committed a crime no matter how heinous or abhorrent the act, does not, in my eyes, justify the taking of a life (anti, eye-for-an-eye philosophy). Moreover, any nation that kills, that is, state sponsored, is in fact, a barbaric, heathen, uncivilized, nation! A civilized and God fearing nation always cherishes life,... Life is short, fleeting and too precious for small minded people to "snuff out!" Another aspect or more importantly, is that the death penalty is more than likely unjustly applied to minorities, mentally challenged and the indigent. That is those who are financially excluded and don't possess the resources to acquire competent counsel. Any nation that kills, is a nation on its way down!

why did casey say her daughter was missing with her nanny before? And now claims she drowned? Isn't that enough proof of her lying?

the witnesses today have seen enough tv coverage on where the body was found that there bound to get it right.even i could tell you now that ive seen it over and over.

I watched this trial everyday and everyday I wonder if the defense is the ones that need an psycological examination. I understand that they have a job to do but they are not doing it. To allow Casey Anthony to sit around and cry on cue then be shown yesterday laughing with her lawyers was just crazy. I feel for the Anthony family but Cindy has purjured herself to try to help her daughter who is guilty of this aweful crime. She needed to tell the truth to get to the truth of the death of little Caylee. I want this jury to return a death sentence and fry Casey for what she did to the baby.

The time card means nothing. I used to be punched in and come home and take a 1 hour nap. All the time on the clock.

I wonder if anyone has suggested to have the Meter reader & or his
son,s DNA checked for a possible match for Caylee,s biolog father?

Thanks
Bridget

Her facial expressions and behavior leave me wondering if a demon , something evil is lurking with-in her. Her anger on several occasions shows to me she would be capable of doing just about anything. NOTHING and NOBODY was going to interfere with her "GOOD LIFE" May she never be blessed with another child.

Why is it so hard to believe if Cindy Anthony was not at work it is possible for a time card to read you are working when actually you are NOT that is not difficult to believe...Not being biased because I am not just saying it is DEFINITELY possible, regardless of what HUMAN RESOURCES have to say especially if you are/were a supervisor

Caylee is gone. Her mother is responsible. Whether it was accidental or planned. She should be found guilty of child neglect, at a minimum, involuntary manslaughter and interfering with a police investigation. Her mother should also be found guilty of perjury. Unfortunately I don't believe the jury will find her guilty and she will be credited with time served for the interference charge. I don't believe she will testify.

The presentation of the state's case - beginning with a brilliant opening statement - was sharp, focused and powerful.

The presentation of the defense case - beginning with a bizarre opening statement - is murky, confusing and vacuous. Theirs has been entirely an effort to obfuscate fact(s). Watching Jose Baez, et al, makes me feel rather like Alice down the rabbit hole. Nothing is real. Nothing is as it appears. Nothing lends sure footing.

It is vexing to watch Casey watch the players in what would be a comedy were it not so tragic.

How can she face the world? much less herself? knowing the anguish she has caused? is still causing?

The grievous havoc she has wrought?.........

How is she able to sit there and watch for days on end the procession of people presenting scientific studies and conclusions and refuting arguments while she knows exactly when, where, why and how she killed her child? And we KNOW she knows. It is disorienting and surreal.

In watching the video of the p.i. walking the woods on Suburban Drive looking for Caylee's body, or watching the Texas Equisearch people who were good enough to donate their time to find her child - knowing all the while exactly when and where she put her child's dead body - is she amused? Does she relish the control that was entirely hers at that time? Did she enjoy making a fool of everyone, including her own family? Is she sneering at all the people who cared about Caylee more than she did?

Does Casey comprehend at ANY level that the state of Florida is seeking justice for her dead child? - and that her defense team is seeking to deny justice for her dead child?

I doubt it. That would require a modicum, a shred, of humanity in her.

I will tell u my opinion...... Caylee Anthony drowned in the pool, Casey came home and found her daughter in her fathers's arms, George Anthony then told Casey, look what u have done! Casey Anthony was so scared of her father, so she did exactly what he told her to do, which was, he would take care of the body, and she needed to just go away for a while and act like nothing happened, he then hired kronk to hide the body for him, and told him to place the body in the woods,and come forth when there is a reward given, and they would split the reward! That is why George Anthony wanted to kill himself, and that is why Cindy Anthony can not recognize what is or what is not the truth, and lee Anthony knows the truth and that is why he went to the defense a week ago!

really? still won't ask about molesting casey. how long is Biaz going to take.did casey tell him daddy really didn't do anything to her blowing the whole theory? maybe that's where the incompetence came from. am i watching the twilight zone right now ? whats up with this guy roy kronk? after listening to whats being said out of bothsides of his mouth getting pretty detailed about the area of what he thought was a skull.wouldn't you go and get it .???? really if he felt that strong about it the first time he found it this would have been over alot sooner.water or no water i would have investigated until i had what i wanted or what i thought i saw.

There has been a big change in the defense ! first I think Casey wanted to testify and Baez has no intention in allowing. it.
The defense also has realized that Baez isn't getting the job done and is going to have to turn over the Q&A to Mason and the other attorneys. This defense is in deep trouble and without Casey on the witness stand. They can’t go anywhere.
This trial is over!!

Seems like all this defense is doig is waisting the jurors time and costing the tax payers money! So far it seems to me that none of the testimony for the defense have proven anything. Nothing changes the fact that she lied about where her daughter was or why she never reported her missing! So how can they try to say that Roy Kronk had anything to do with her murder?

This woman Krystal has not testified and what ever she has said is not in the court record. why discuss thing not in evidence?

Hi! I am wondering "who" told Cronk to say they were the same bag? then he covered it up..then he changed his story after..so..Im thinking prosecution told him to agree..I think he should have been checked out much better than he was..but it seems they had Casey & thats all they wanted..which is wrong..they are here to find the truth..no matter what is is..right? this is about JUSTICE for Caylee..Isnt it?

The Judge has gone astray when he allows Questions concerning River cruse and she has not testified and you can't allow questions that are heresy. Prosicutor and Judge are letting the defense get outside the LAW in order to bring this trial to a close.

Trialwatcher you are right on! Casey's face has told me all I need to know about her this whole trial.

if george anthony helped with hiding the body and knew what happened then why would he have t\hrown casey up against the wall and yelled ' I know you did something with her where is she" now would he ! the defense so double talks themselves and I dont know if the prosecuter caught that

I believe that Casey told her mother where Caylee was and that's why the defenses PI and the other one were at the site. Not to recover Caylee but to that the body and conceal it.

while listening to in session today I noticed that George Anthony answered the questions about the alledged affair with a no as well as the conversation about the accident spiraling out of control.Did anyone else notice that later the defense attorney then asked if he had told that lady,sorry not sure of her name,that he threw Casey against the wall and accused her of doing something to Caylee...if that is so then where does the earlier mentioned conversation fit??just curious where the defense is going with all this.

how can casey cry when there talking about kronk hiding the body. casey knew where the body was she could have taken the police to the body the very first night of questioning .hopefully shes becoming a human again and shes genuine with her tears.i think shes all about the moment and when this is all over she won't have any more remorse.it will be all about her then and she'll be the next to capitolize on this sad ordeal.ie.. movies books ect.

I may be off by saying this, but I dont understand if George Anthony drove Casey's car back to the Anthony residence with the smell in the car. Why was this never really made a big deal? Especially if this is what the defense is trying to pull off & saying that he was involved with the cover up of Caylee Marie's "accidental drowning". If he lies to Cindy about going to another woman's house then does Cindy know or has she ever stated how long George was gone in the car. This has been on my mind for days so I had to ask. I am truly touched by this little girl & cant wait for justice to be served to those involved, My heart goes out to the family & everyone that has helped with this case. RIP CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY!!!

Cheney Mason is doing the best that he can to pull this defense out of the Baez hole.. They now know that they can't call Casey and therefore the Baez opening is not going to be proved. Just a little more STUFF on the wall.there is as of today. NO DEFENSE CASE...

If, in fact, Caylee Anthony died accidentally in the swimming pool, how on earth could her father – a cop – allow Casey to rot in jail for three years awaiting trial for first degree murder? Having a child die accidentally is not a punishable offense. One might be branded as an incautious parent or grandparent but it is not a criminal act. And for nobody to call 911 or attept to revive the victim? This may be a case of an accidental over use of chloroform to quiet the child while mommy partied resulting in the childs's death. Does anyone know if there are long-term or residual effects of repeated use of chloroform? I see a verdict less than First Degree murder but Casey is guilty of something and, I believe, it involves the death of Caylee.

SO many lies--–because a lie has to be told to cover a lie. " Be sure your sins will find you out." SO sad a little girl did not get a chance to live her life !!!!!!!!!!!!!! because of selfish actions by adults to whom God gave the responsibility of care. Would not want to be in any of their shoes!

This family can't do anything but lie. It's not in their DNA. George is the head of the family and the head liar.

My husband and I have been following this case everyday and this last issue with the meter reader is uncalled for. Just admit the police dropped the ball on this one. But remember at the time the mr.kronk reported what he think he saw, they (the police) was still looking for an alive child because casey was still lying about this nanny person had the child so they weren't looking for her remains. So mr.kronk did what he thought was right and we agree with that. The police should have investigated it more. To be honest the whole family needs counseling but casey she is DONE. I hope the jury return with the death penalty because of what she did.

I'm just wondering about Caylee's other set of grandparents...As I understand it, Caylee's father passed away? Did that man not have a family of his own? Caylee's paternal grandparents? Maybe I've missed that information, but I don't remember ever hearing about them. Thank you.

i Agree with Beth. We need to know why she dumped her instead of calling 911.... I hope the JURY uses their Logic in this case. But, I am not sure she should be put to death for it.. But, I due think it was out of revenge to Cindy.

My take on all the dysfunction in the family goes to after Caylee went missing and the family's dilemma of whether to protect their daughter or find justice for Caylee. I actually think this HELPS the prosecution!

I am on a roll here – a weak one perhaps – but one last question. If the child was a sufficient incovenience to merit some form of choroforming or murder, why didn't Casey just let the grandparents or someone else adopt the child? Unless I am a poor judge of character, it seems to me that Cindy really cared for her grandaughter and would have taken her off Casey's hands in a second.

Why isn't anyone saying anything about the long look of disgust George gave Casey as he was leaving the stand? It was blantantly obvious!!!

I think George Anthony hesitated to answer Lawyer Baez's question that he talked to the alleged mistress about Caylee's death because Baez initially asked while during his romantic moment is when he told her about Caylee. I think he hesitated because of that and that's why he asked Baez to repeat the question.

besides he may have gotten close to her but that should not be where the concentration needs to be. Its obvious that the whole family either know so much more and withhelding regardless, Casey is so in the wrong all the way through and through.

I am wondering what did George do with his clothes and shoes
after he 'found Caylee' in the pool? He must have been soaked
thru? What did he do after he yelled at Casey? Did he put litle Caylee
down somewhere? Did he remove his wet clothes? Then he had to change outfits while the little girl was lying.....where? Where did he put tte discarded clothing? Was there chlorine in the material? What did he do with his shoes. They must have had mud on them?
I think this is an important step to whatmay have occurred that day?
What did Casey do? Did she sit there with little Caylees body?
MAybe SHE dressed Caylee whhile her Dad changed clothes?
Did she just run from the house?
I don't get any of the intricacies and details of what happend right
after she was found dead?????

Casey Jordan hit this case on the head last week when she had the opinion that the meeting six weeks before the trial was alot more than a meeting??? I thought from the first opening statement that this whole defence has been staged between the family and the defence. When you accuse someone of child abuse and other things and there is no reaction from those people says alot. I hope they all don't go to jail.

06/28/2011 watching today's testimony Mr. Krunk seems to defy human nature - 99.9% of the human race would if they thought they had found a human skull would just out of curiosity walked closer to verify it. It just seems to go against human nature not to be drawn by curiosity and the need to be sure of what you see.

Vinny, I just watched Roy Krunk testify and it just does not make sense to me. He stated that he was 25 to 30 feet away when he noticed something that looked like a skull..ok my problem with that is, I have heard that the area was so full of vegetation that a machete was needed to clear a path..so how could you possibly see a tiny skull that was said to be sunken into the ground and with that much vegetation surrounding it, how could you see from a distance of 25-30 feet? It does not seem possible. I believe everyone including Casey Anthony has the right to a fair trail and is innocent until proven guilty. I have made no opinion to her innocence or guilt yet, I am waiting until the end to make a judgment on that. A beautiful little girl's life is gone and anyone and everyone involved with the demise of this little girl needs to be punished for this horrific crime. At this moment, I still have many questions and there are many things that still just don't make sense.

There was a crime but we will never know what it was. Thats a shame for that beautiful child. But those who know will have to live with that for the rest of there lives. I couldn't, and I don't think most people could!!!

Sometimes it seems as if the witnesses are on trial here. It isn't fair that the witness's have to feel the heat sitting at the stand under oath, but Casey doesn't have to testify. Her defense must know that she will only paint herself in a bad light if she takes the stand. I am thinking the psych evaluations were in preparation for her taking the stand. I don't think Casey can pass up the chance for the spotlight.

DEFENSE STUMBLE: Did anyone else notice that when Roy Kronk was asked if he called 911 he said "no". He said "no" 3 times! Didn't the defense attny. know there is a big difference between dialing 911 and making a non-emergency call to the sheriff's department?
Good thing prosecutor Linda was there to straighten him out. : D

I really thought the trial would indeed be a search for the truth..but..I am more confused than before it started. Everyone is contradicting everyone else so the only thing I think we are left with is actually what we started with...Casey acted a fool for 31days while her child was "missing"...That's the only thing that has been proven. With all the lies from all the Anthonys we may as well strike all their testimony. And as for Roy Kronk, I think the cops thought he was a "crank" and never took him seriously. Can't believe anything he says either. This trial appears to be a big waste of money because the truth will never be known.

I believe that Cronk is just a quarky citizen who was trying to be a good citizen. Remember that many citizens in that area were searching for Caylee when they hoped she was still alive, and then thereafter, when they searched for her remains.

My father lived down there at the time and he and his wife were on a few volunteer search teams looking for Caylee's remains. I do not think it is that strange that somebody who is on high alert for her remains would call more than once.

The bigger issues is that even IF it was an accident, Casey still allowed her daughter to be dumped like garbage rather than giving her a proper burial. Now THAT doesn't make sense.

If the defense needs Cindy's testamony about the chloroform., then why are they now making her look untruthful to the jury by having Lee contradict her? Isn't the chloroform more important than family dysfuntion? The family is not dysfunctional, except for Casey. They are just donig what the defense wants them to do to avoid the death penalty.

As a law student I have never watched a trial with so many people that I would say are not telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I don't think any of them know what it is, from the police to the state, defence and witnesses. Judge Perry must be going insane listening to all this garbage.

I worked for Northrop Grumman for over 15 years, and we practiced timecard entry the way that Cindy Says she did, another words you could not show overtime on your timecard so anytime over 8 hours a day were comp and could be taken as work would allow during that week you worked the overtime.

so, Cindy is telling the truth about the way the time card works.

This whole family has mental issues i have 3 children and 5 beautiful grandsons if i ever thought 1 of my kids hurt ot KILLED one of my babies wheres no way i would lie for them so they wouldn't get convicted they would have to pay the price. And how do they think Roy Kronk got ahold of this babygirl do they really think the athonys gave her to him that makes no sense someone in that family deposed of this sweet angel like garage they all need to be in jail. there are just so much i don't understand or haven't heard as too who what when or WHY! Casey killed this sweet angel and now mom and dad are trying to save her. If it was an accident WHY hasn't the police called accidents happen everyday wouldn't the penalty be far less if the police were called instead of trying to cover it up. Send them all to JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the reason George Anthony hesitated in his answer was it was at first a 2 part question. I believe he was asked ...While you you were being intimate with River Cruise did you tell her that it was a terrible accident gone wrong. When he commented he found it funny, I think he was trying to give it no merit at all.

Lee wasn't involved with the birth of caylee, because he kept reminding casey about her lying and stealing and didn't agree with her scumbag life style. casey is one of those people that don't want to hear the truth. "She can't handle the truth".

Sorry Terri but I think George was lying about this relationship "TEXT" "I need you in my life" Come on now????

Cindy has turned into a sympathetic witness to someone who is trying my patience with her lies. She thinks we are stupid. I am praying that God will give the jurors His wisdom to do the right thing.

I've been watching this trial and I really must say that In my eyes the defense is hurting the case instead of helping it because the only thing that they proved so far with a shadow of a doubt to the jurors is that The Anthony Family all have lied on the stand. And if the whole family lied then you know for sure that Casey is lying as well about the murder of her daughter. And as for Kronk the guy reported what he thought he saw, it's not his fault that the police did not follow up on it right away if they did caylee would have been found in august and not december. My opinion she is gulity without a doubt and I don't believe in the death penalty at all but in this case since a child is murder I am all for it,

A small part of Jose Baez's opening statement was just replayed. He stated that Roy Kronk was "in control of Caylee's remains," for months right ? He eventually placed those remains on Suburban Drive ?

Then he says something like "Where he found those remains (originally), we don't know. We'll never know."

WHAT ??? How ridiculous is it the way he throws things out there but never follows up on them with answers ?

Shouldn't he call George Anthony to the stand and ask him where he originally placed Caylee's body ? Wasn't George Anthony the guy who found Caylee's dead body floating in the family pool ? Didn't he and Casey conspire to cover up the accident ?

So how does Baez say we'll never know where Kronk originally came upon Caylee's remains ?

Hey Jose ! Why don't you simply ask the guy you're blaming for this whole thing ? Ask George ???

For me this trial has become a circus of lies and absurdities. I've watched since Day 1 when the world first laid eyes on "Tot Mom." I stopped watching the day Cindee Anthony perjured herself on the stand followed by Lee Anthony balling his head off like a little girl. I have no clue why I'm watching it again but I'm pretty sure it's because I had to see Kronk testify. I think he did great. I was waiting for that "morally bankrupt," individual to testify. I didn't see that. It's just another absurdity thrown out by the defense. So far everybody else in this sordid story except Casey Anthony, is to blame for Caylee's death. Casey is just a poor, misunderstood, molested bystander.

This whole thing about George finding Caylee is such a joke! With all the accidental drownings in Florida, and as an ex-policeman he would have call 911. No one would have been charged, and with the exception of grieving for there grandchild for life, none of this would be going on. Especially if there were any secrets within the family, he would not have wanted all this investigation into there lives. Also, I think it is a disgrace that they can accuse and say anything they want about someone without proof and ruin their reputations.

Why do you keep making excuses for Cindy Anthony? We are tying to find justice for Caylee and you seem to have forgotten that in your attempts to portray Cindy as this unfortunate grandmother. It honestly makes me sick!

casey kill her daughter and trying to get away with it scot free she don
t want to spend a day in prison for what she did murdering caylee

I feel the defense doesn't have anything solid to defend Casey, so they are trying to bring out everyone else's lies and mistakes. However, in doing this, I don't think she'll get the death penalty. I agree with what most of you has said about ALL the lies and conflicting stories on the witness stand. We have to go back to the beginning and Casey not reporting Caylee missing for several weeks. That has guilt written all over it. Defense hasn't really done a good job explaining that....unless I've missed something. As a mother myself, there shouldn't even been a minute that goes by that you do not report your child missing. Hopefully, the prosecution will focus on that during their closing statement. All this other hooplah on the witness stand is just grasping at straws! I do feel Kronk knows more – he HAD to have walked towards and seen the skull. His police call was about a "suspicious bag". From the photos and items taken at the scene, there was a lot of debris and trash, so what would make him think "suspicious"? This is why I think he saw more than he is admitting to. Also, the times from him reporting his possible findings to the officials actually going to the site and finding them seems a little fishy. Too much time in between. I think the cops dropped the ball there. However, if I found something questionable that I thought might be a skull, I wouldn't let it go. I would follow up continuously and make sure they took me seriously.

Ok i have a couple of questions! 1) what does Casey having a 'disfunctional family' have to do with her behavior? I mean who doesnt have family problems or family secrets? I was molested and i never killed anyone!! 2) why does she have such a cold demeanor if she didnt do it? How could u even keep it together if ur innocent and on trial for YOUR CHILDS MURDER?

I agree with Ruth Silvidi. It makes me sick the way Baez can accuse George Anthony of molesting his own daughter WITHOUT ANY PROOF WHATSOEVER ! Isn't that slander ? Aren't there laws that protect people from vile public accusations put out by others ?

The only person who can prove wether the molestation occurred or not is Casey and OMG PLEASE !!! Who in their right mind would believe A WORD she says ?

If Casey Anthony got up on the stand and said the sky is blue, the grass is green and 2+2=4, I would seriously have to re-evaluate what I've always know the color of the sky and grass to be and possibly go back to 1st grade and requestion basic addition !

I pray the 12 people sitting on that jury are smart ! I pray they're not allowing themselves to be buffalo-d by Baez who, in my opinion, is as despicable as his client. I pray they're not allowing all the worthless information being thrown at them to get in the way of the truth.

Casey Anthony is by far the most vile human being I have ever laid my eyes on in my 48 years of life on this planet. I thought Scott Peterson ( remember him ? ), was repulsive....Casey Anthony makes him look like a choir boy !

I'm praying for justice for Caylee. That's all I care about. I've come to love her SO MUCH !!

What ever became of the incident when George Anthony went to a hotel and was planning on suicide with a suicide note in hand? Could there be more than depression effecting him? Meaning, the affair or cover up, ect.

Anybody hear what i hear, roy said it looked like a pool cover on the 911 call, and the defense is saying caylee drowned weird

I believe the death penalty is necessary in extreme circumstances - like Charlie Manson, who's still alive - but as guilty as I believe Casey is, I doubt she'll get the death penalty. I've heard that in Florida, it costs the taxpayers more to support a prisoner on death row, than the cost of a life sentence without parole. The death sentence involves years of appeals, attorney fees, court costs, etc., that it would actually be more costly for taxpayers than if Casey got life without parole.

On the other hand, Caylee's life was taken when no one was there to save her, speak on her behalf, offer up other options where she could live and grow away from Casey - that poor child's life was taken and now her mother's fighting for her life; Casey couldn't fight nor had anyone to fight for her to prevent her death. Maybe the very threat of death will prompt Casey to finally tell the truth, admit her guilt, and suffer the consequences of her actions...things she's avoided all her life thus far. It's called being a responsible adult.

Re: George Anthony and River Cruz...

I think George began to suspect she might be Zenaida Gonzales, especially if he found out her name was an alias.

The picture the defense is showing in thier examination of Roy Kronk has the wrong location depicted of where Caylee Anthoy's remains were found! Per CNN filming of the area today, the reamins of Caylee were found in the area of the first light pole from the privacy fence. Defense is trying to use the location where the two private investigators searched. Prosecution needs to be made aware of this.

Why didn't the prosecution in cross examination of Cindy Anthony question her about what she did with the remaining clorform after she treated her dog or dogs? Did she place the remaining cloroform somewhere out of reach of Caylee? Where was it placed? Was it accessable to Casey?

Why has no one asked if she really drowned as the defence is claiming then what did you do with the body,

Whichever way the wind blows on the Casey Anthony case, Casey

Anthony should never have the privilege to walk the street again. She

is psychotic, and if anyone got the guts to kill his or her own child, and

not have regret cannot be alive. She sits there as though she has no

knowledge of what has occurred. This is a sick girl, and I mean in

poor mental health.

What person of a "normal" family would kill her own child. Of course they are disfunctional!!! This just bolsters the prosecution.

Let's not forget the VERY JUICY little tidbit that just came to light a few weeks ago....Casey Anthony was housed a few cells down from a woman who's toddler son drowned in the backyard swimming pool AND was found by the grandfather !!

Gee, that's a pretty big coincidence isn't it ?

We all know very well how Casey Anthony picks up things here and there and puts them in her psycho-mental Rolodex to use for later lies !

That's what she did with Zenaida Gonzalez ! She saw Zenaida's name on a guest/visitor sheet at the Sawgrass Apartments and she spun a whole fantasy tale around that poor lady's name. This is what she does. She sees things and hears things and builds stories around them. It's completely bizarre and very scary !

She overheard this girl talking about her son drowning and being found by the grandfather and THAT is where her defense story came from. Unfortunately, the woman stated she never had one-on-one contanct with Casey so hopefully the prosecution has their detectives looking into how she heard about this woman's misfortune !!

As for George having or not having an affair ? Who cares ?

Right now I'm asking myself....Who's on trial ? Casey Anthony or Roy Kronk ?

Casey is one cold woman.

Pleasesome tell me why would Roy Kronk hide a body if he wanted to collect the reward.

Kronk is this trials Kato!

Kronk seems to be the only one that can tell the truth and the defence attorney is a joke and needs to sit down a shut up.

Why is deputy standing directly behind Casey now?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Kronk coming across VERY credible even likeable!! Defense attorney being a jerk. He goes in circles with the same questions he is trying to trick him into saying something inconsistent. Poor guy doesnt deserve to be beat up on the stand. I believe Kronk

I think that Roy Kronk is credible and telling the truth. If they had just found a dead rattlesnake, then I don't blame him one bit for not going in and checking further on what he thought he had seen. He did the right and "moral" thing, he called the Police. So, therefore Baez this does NOT make him "morally bankrupt". It's just more of your tactics to try to discredit every witness and cover up what your client, the "Lying Defendant Casey Anthony" did to her baby. The Jury will see right through your tactics. ABC Defense....Anybody But Casey!

The Death Penalty is "not unconstitutional". It is a needed and necessary form of punishment for the most heinous of crimes, which would include the murder of a 2 1/2 year old baby. It is not "barbaric, unfair, or disproportionally applied to poor people".

The emtional impact of murder is enough to create a logical mind to shut down – become so depressed that Life became worthless for George. No human is made of stone – George, in my opinion, is a victim and his daughter HAS the heart of stone.

I don't know if I missed something, but can someone tell me the reason the defense has given for Kronk hiding the body until December if he found it prior??

Where did this group of Defense Attorneys come from? Did they get their law degrees from Liberty University?
Here are my predictions of the case:
1. She will be found guilty.
2. She will receive the death penalty.
3. Her lawyers will try to collect their fees from her parents and be sued by the parents for extortion.
4. Her new lawyers will tell her to claim she found Jesus and have received his forgiveness for what she has done.
5. The same Conservative Evangelical Christian Community that favors the Death Penalty will now petition the Governor of Florida to commute her sentence to Life without Parole, because good Christians do not deserve to be put to death.
6. The Governor will offer to commute the Death Sentence of someone (not an Evangelical Christian) who performed life-saving research that benefits everyone and those same Conservative Evangelical Christians will demand that person be put to death.

There's a couple of ppl.s remarks that made me laugh. Ken B said no one here is being sworn in and telling the whole truth and nothing but.......Actually not even Mulrich is telling the whole truth.....
Just upsets me that this is such a major case and there are so many lies and clowns and we are talking about human life here.....
Also like Mark Furman with a dark past, Kronk had to be the one to find the remains of Caylee. Out of all the volunteers this shady character had to be the one to find her. But even so he wasn't the one who killed her or put her body there...
I think this case is going to be won in the rebutal stage,,

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Caylee's father and his family? I would think they would be in the court room wondering what happen to Caylee. I have never heard that mentioned? Did I miss that part of the trial? Also, can the defense team stop blaming everyone but the yorkies of causing Caylee's death or holding her body in some mysterious place? If I were Mr. Kronk, I would have called and not left my name stating I found some kind of human remains, because if this is what happens to people reporting a body found, I would not do it. Talk about killing the messenger!!!

Do you realize that the Jury is asleep with this defense stories.
The defense can't do anything else with out Casey. This is just more Stuff on the wall, but I think the Jury is still focused (un like your staff) on who killed the baby. Yust answer that.... everything the defense has done is throwing STUFF against the wall. Jose Baez opening statement is not fact and the defense has done nothing to put the blame for the death of this little baby.

After listening to Kronks co-worker testifie that he is is the one who suggested Caylees body could be in the woods after hearing Casey say to her mom that Caylee was nearby in my opion just blew the Biaz theory out of the water. Am I the only one feeling this way? If the prosecution can show Cindy was at work on the day the computer searches were done I feel the prosecution has proven their case. It is too bad the jury hasn't seen the many faces of Casey that we have, I think that would seal her fate.

I agree with Lou and Beth. What is the point of going round and round asking who saw what when and exactly where in the swampy woods? The remains had clearly been there for quite some time, as the weeds and vines attest.

Casey says Caylee died on that first day, and that Casey was with her when she died - at home or elsewhere. So Casey was with Caylee's DEAD body.

Clearly the child's body was in Casey's car for quite some time - probably several days - and long enough to begin the decomposition that various people and a couple cadaver dogs smelled.

Next point. How does one then go about finding someone who would take that decomposing body - with the accompanying horrible odor - off one's hands?

Would that person also be willing to then HANDLE that decomposing body in order to place duct tape - and let's not forget that heart sticker - on this small dead body? Why? And then, where would THAT person hide the body for a period of time? And why?

Are we to believe that person is Roy Kronk? And that he would do all this just to get the reward money? And that he would then dump this horrific possession in the swampy woods in the hope that he could point it out before someone else discovered it and got the reward money? That would make him more than "morally bankrupt" as Jose Baez suggests. That would make him a ghoul. And a pretty stupid one, at that.

I was also wondering what the note had in it about the suicide. If there were anything said about this crime wether he thought his daughter did something or if he felt guilt about anything, could it come in for trial and if so why hasn't anyone brought it up??

I hope Casey takes the stand I want to see Mr. Ashton just rip her to pieces. She thinks she can fool all of us. She wants to get up on that stand I think she likes the attention. Vinnie need to get Sunny off she is always so negative she thinks she knows everything I hate people like that. Everyone has forgotten about poor little Caylee. All were worried about is if George had an affair who cares, what does that have to do with this case, and the kronk thing he didn't move the body those people just were not at the right spot where the body was. Their saying Kronk didn't do anything to help the defense.

The State failed to prove anything. The body in the car thing just don't make sense. Their own witness puts the body in the car from 6/16 to 6/19-21. Their witnesses has her driving around with 3 other people in the car around the 20th, and noboby smelled anything. They have the dad and the boyfriend next to the car with the trunk open at separate times on the 24th and neither saw or smelled anything. Yet over 3 weeks after the body is removed, all of a sudden the entire car is reeking from a stain left behind, a stain so small the chemists couldn't identify it as decomp. It just doesn't make sense.

If the paper towels in the trash were used to cleanup the stain, then why does both tests on the paper towels and the stain show completely different results. Not one compound matches. It doesn't make sense.

Casey is all smoke and mirrors, delay and diversion, ducking and diving away from her responsibility for Caleey Anthony's condition when finally found by Roy Kronk. The only morally bankrupt person in this case is clearly Casey Anthony. If not for Mr. Kronk, Caleey would still be in the swamp where Casey left her. There was only one reason to continue the lie that Casey held onto, and that was to cover the murder of her child.No matter the cost to her family, Casey continues to lie, but the biggest lie is to herself,...that she can fool the jury into letting her go free.I pray that truth slaps her back to reality, so she can fully appreciate the consequences of her actions.

i have come to the conclusion no one and i mean no one is going to know the truth of what happened that innocent little girl!!! the only ones who know is God and Casey!!! the anthony family as far as iam concerned are nothing but liers and they donot know how to tell the truth!!! caylee will not rest until this trial is over so let it be over all ready!!! i think the whole family have serious problems !! and an innocent child payed for it by loosing her life so very very sad!!! God Bless you Caylee!!!

The Police "screwed this case up." Kronk is an idiot. And the police never considered him a suspect? I hope this girl walks! If the state can do a better job, she deserves to walk!

Here is what i got to say. I don't believe that what is going on in court is truthful. First, If your child dies in a pool (accedental drowning), why not call the cops. After watching this fiasco for 4 weeks, does who George has an affair mean anything. Does the meter reader who in august 2008 reported this and the cops didn't do nothing. Look at the bad misjustice that the cops do. I wish i could make a reality show for the bad cops. It goes on in many places. I think that casey is guilty but she is not by herself. That whole family is nothing but liars. What is purgery in court. Today i heard 3 purgerys.

I don't believe the circumstantial evidence is enough to prove Casey murdered her daughter; or, even if there really was chloroform in the car, that it had a role at the time of Caylee's death. I believe her death could have just been an accident ie drowning or some other way (other than being drugged). Casey has a long history of lying, even when she didn't need to. Given that, if it was an accident, and she lied to cover it up to deflect that it happened under her watch, it doesn't mean she's a murderer. Casey lied many months before Caylee's death about the nanny. So, her lying about the nanny after Caylee's death, doesn't stand out to me, as it might have if it was new. So, sentencing somebody to death when all the facts aren't solid and such just seems wrong. Especially with the way that it seems like the judge and the prosecutors have worked together to narrow Casey's chance to a really fair trial.

My heart continues to go out to the Anthony family, especially George.

the whole Anthony clan are pathetic liers,its not hard to see where the rotten apple fell from ( CASEY) the rotten tree that produced her( HER PARENTS) i bet each night they are laughing about how they might fool the jury and the people in general. they are probably more concerned about writing a book or movie deal at the expense of that little innocent child they murdered. i say toss them all in prison they are worthless piece of crap ALL OF THEM

Casey Jordan –

What you said about "grief" applies not only to George - but also Casey. If he is going through the process of "grief" contradictory actions are a part of grief. It is just as possible that Casey's actions after realizing her daughter was dead was also the outcome of grief - non acceptance. If I say my daughter is innocent, then she is innocent. If I say by daughter is alive, then my daughter is alive. Bias is right - I had the same feeling when I saw the opposing FBI interviews between George and Cindy. George threw his daughter under the bus - Even if parents know their child is guilty of something - I never seen one go out of their way to crucify them. He is way over testifying. Why would George even think something happened to Casey or Caylee when he picked up the car? Cindy had talked to her EVERY DAY. He had no reason to believe that the smell was anything other than trash at the point - crackling like hamburgers on a grill? The operater also said the smell got worse over time - maybe as the garbage sat in the sun and more flies landed on it. There was no human decomposing at the time - so why did the smell get worse instead of better. If anything, it shouldn't have changed. Something about this case stinks - and not just the garbage.

I hope the jury and the judge really punish Casey A. when the guilty verdict comes back just for what she has done to her father and poor little Caylee and everyone else that got caught up in her LIES

The defense is showing the whole family is less than truthful with their conflicting statements. In addition Lee has described at least two communications such as Casey's pregnancy and the use of a psychic to find Caylee, his family concealed from him. How can anyone expect Casey to have skills greater than what her family has? Yes she lies but she learned it at home. Yes she concealed the body, but that is how she learned to deal with events from her family.

Go read Kronk's statements to the police - then decide if you think he was being "truthful." Even the police weren't buying his story - which is why the prosecution didn't put him up. I don't think the defense did a good enough job showing his inconsistencies - maybe they will today - esp. when he lied about it being more visible the second day –even though he claimed he never went down to see it. How did he know? The truth always lies in the middle somewhere - so we will never know what really happened. George lies just as much as Casey - the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.

I also can't believe how the judge is letting George get away with this narration - he does not appear to be impartial. I never saw a judge allow any witness to do what the prosecution witnesses are doing.

I believe that george is telling the truth this morning, mr. bias is just grasping at straws now, he being a former police office would know the smell of decomposition, if they only have 6 more witnessess to testify, how in the world with having george on the stand so long is this going to get the case to the jury before the july 4th holiday like the judge promised.

I really am not trying to be critical nor attack Sunny Hostin but I have been following the 'trial' on In Session and often hear statements made by
Ms. Hostin that make wonder about her background as a (prosecuting) attorney.

Just now today she commented on the question Mr. Baez asked
Mr. Anthony about whether he would ever admit to having molested his daughter, a question that was sustained by the Court after an objection. Ms. Hostin's response was - among other things - that though the question was sustained, it wasn't stricken from the record.

Having worked in a state court for 25 years as an official court reporter, I know - and Ms. Hostin should know - that whenever a question is sustained by the Court, during any possible readback to the jury any and all questions sustained by the Court ARE NOT read back to the jury, so . . .

This trial is so sick if my dog runs away for 5 min. I freak out let alone one of my children especially for 31 days. I truley beleive the three mom ,grandma,and grandpa knew what happened, but the brother did not
you do not act like that 31 days or 3 seconds of a missing child. You know that sick feeling when you are at the store and yoou turn just for a sec. and your son or daughter is not there? You would not just leave and go party you almost have a heart attack. Something is wrong with this whole thing. If casey was so affraid to tell her mom about the baby being misssing What is wrong with caseys mom to make casey soo afraid of her?

it bad eveyone on this show go out to there way to show people that this girl is guilty. her daddy took test to see rather lil caylee was his dauther. I sit and listen to everyone on the show take up for george.George is the bigest story teller i every seen in my life.I dont belive nothing he say to see him on the stand today i hope hollawood is watching because he batter then samual l jackson up there crying and lieing.

On this the 31st day of the trial...I think the jury be reminded that the 31 days they have been away from the rest of the world( I am sure they agree it's a long time) is the same numer of days that little Caley was missing while Casey lied about her where abouts and partied with her friends.

I have always thought casey anthony is guilty! I am not sure if she set out to kill her daughter or if it was an accident, only she knows that. however, I believe the evidence shows that no matter the cause of death, Casey knew about it, and covered it up with lie after lie. Life without the child was easier for her. All the video of the "wonderful" mother seems fake to me. She glances at the camera to see if she is being filmed...not wrapped up in the moment of playing with Caylee. Her mother is not in touch with reality, her brother is the only one who seems to be. Her father is getting there but wrestling with the reality of the loss of his ONLY grandchild and now the betrayal of his daughter towards the entire family. Everyone needs to put yourself in his shoes and frankly, if you havent experienced the death of a child in your immediate family, you can't. It is a unique grieving process and horrible to go through. I lost my daughter, 2 nieces and a nephew...all to natural causes. You cannot imagine the pain and I cannot imagine the pain of these grandparents. If losing touch with reality is what it takes for george and Cindy, i feel for them. If I had to deal with betrayal during the grieving of my child I would have gone crazy. But compound that with the lies and betrayal told by MY OWN DAUGHTER!... I pray for peace of mind for this family and its future...

I am amazed with the prosecution over this case. I saw quite a few things that the prosecution could have made their case more. Strong#1. The smell of decompositon in the car. Why is she driving around with bags of carbage in the car ? You are in Florida where it is hot as hell the smell of it driving around in car would be crazy. She was not living in the car so why would drive with carbage. But if you had a dead body and their and it smelled it would be a way to mass the smell as well has contaminate DNA evidence. Another thing I think the parents are in on trying to get their daughter off. I believe they know about the abuse allegations. It helps to throw dought into to case. Infact the whole family is doing the brother with his testimony knew that people would be speculating when he said he was totally left out of pregnuacy and the birth of his niece. It made you think that he may had sex with his sister. They have foregiven their daugher and accepted what she has done and are just trying to save her life no matter what. Their is saying Let God take of dead and Let the living take care of living and I think that is where Casey Anthony is doing.

The defense has questioned George about molesting his daughter, but what I find questionable is If Casey was molested, as a mother you never want your daughter to expierence what you went through so why did she allow her daughter to stay with her parents if she knew what her dad was capable of doing?

I think the reason that Casey did the computer searches that she did and the reason that she was telling her friend Amy that she was going to have her parents house because her parents were moving and leaving the house to her is because maybe she was planning on getting rid of her parents at some point after getting rid of Caylee. They say the first is the hardest. This would also explain why so early on she gave conflicting stories to various people about being molested. Could that have been her planting an excuse for getting rid of the rest of her family? she even had Amy pack her things and call a moving truck. she is a evil person with a cruel and cold heart. i would not put it past her NOT AT ALL..........

Sunny, Sunny, Sunny Hostin. To say that George is throwing Casey under the bus is rediculous. Lets not forget that Casey has been throwing her whole family under the bus for years. I so glad to see that the family is finally able to see what Casey did to their beautiful Granddaughter. Lets also not forget that George is not the defendant in this trial. He has not been charged with a crime and to again and again accuse him of a crime, is a crime. To bad he can't file a lawsuit against Baez. I would love to see that idiot pay for his unfounded accusations against innocent people.

Why is everyone feeling so sorry for George and Cindy. Yes, they lost their grandchild, but they are liars through and through. They are argumentative, combative and they try to evade the truth by throwing the question back at the attorneys.

Lee is so messed up it isn't funny. He laughed on the stand, he can't give straight answers either.

Form the very first day of this horrible event, George and Cindy were in front of their house acting like savages instead of grieving grandparents. They are profiting financially from all of this, they don't have jobs, they sell photos and videos to make a living for themselves.

They raised a bad seed for a daughter and now we know why. They are all nuts. Casey needs to go to jail for a long time.

I hope the jury sees through all the smoke and mirrors.

Real great guy - former law officer who was going to threaten people with a gun? What else is he capable of? I don't think that is a win for the prosecution. Suicide? Because he wanted to be with Caylee? Give me a break - What about his wife, daughter, and son? They were still alive! It makes me wonder about a grown man's attachment to a 2 year old. It wasn't his daughter! I saw a lot more "grief" from Cindy - and she didn't "try" to commit suicide. The suicide note is self-serving. Why didn't he use a gun if he really wanted to die? I wonder if he will cry this much at his own daughter's funeral - which he is actively trying to cause. I don't care what Casey said about him - she is still his daughter. Most parents would be hands-off - let the state do what it must - answer what you have to - but to actively go out of your way to try to destroy your own daughter? All he had to do was say I never abused my daughter - and everyone would have believed him. This isn't love for Caylee - it is hatred toward his daughter.

Two things: Casey incompetent to continue, unable to assist her attorneys? If anyone watches daily they will see her constantly talking to her attorneys, flipping thru documents, reading the computer screen. Since when did she quit assisting her legal counsel? Also, I have a suspicion that Casey did tell her parents that her brother molested her. I think she got him out of the house and his room and put a wedge between Lee and his parents. I think she did this purposely in order to have total control of the house, her parents and any fringe benefits associated with being an "only child." She is very cold and very manipulative and the last time Caley saw the face of her mother I suspect it was the face we have see in court...she really is a demon seed. I hope the jury sees thru her act.

I know that Casey Anthony is a heartless, cruel girl without a doubt today while I watched her trial! How could this creature just sit expressionless and watch her own father's pain and grief and not get emotional herself? She has earned the prison term she will likely get and I think it will be a lonely, long sentence without visits from her father! She does not deserve one minute of his life and although I do not believe her mother will not attempt to visit her, she does not deserve one minute of her time either. This family, although severly damaged, must wash their hands of her while they may still have a chance to recover. She is a monster..plain and simple.....!!!

Watching Casey's face as her father breaks down, weeps, discusses Caylee's death, I think the jurors can see the face of a person who can kill her own 2 year old little girl. Cold, heartless, unfeeling (except for herself), contemptuous. My guess: she wants her Dad to admit molesting her and admit to the "accidental" drowning to save her – i.e. enable her to continue her "life"? And he's not and she's m.a.d.!

I believe George Anthony is being put on trial– Not Casey! How do you expect anyone to act under all the tragedies they have gone thru! She did something with Caylee.. because she wanted her freedom & would not give custody to grand-parents! I have dealt with a situation like this.. with the `exception` that my grand-daughter is still alive, because I went to court to get custody of her.. otherwise, I may have been in the same situation. My question to the "so called Mistress" would be to prove How she gave George over $20,000 dollars.. was it cash? check? money order? She claims they had an affair ! I don't believe her either! Casey Anthony reminds me of my grand-daughters Mother, who I have had to deal with for 19 years... same MO!!! Lies, deceit, not caring ! Cindy was an `enabler` because she loved Caylee and they lost control over Casey long, long ago! Never judge someone unless ~YOU WALK IN THEIR SHOES~ I still am living this nightmare and it only gets worse! He is attempting to tell the truth.. Jose is a attorney seeking fame & fortune... Casey should be put in a box and buried.. out in the woods.. Why blame the parents for all of her behavior? There comes a time when YOU lose control.. You just don't have it .. They lost control a long time ago of Casey.. I know.. I lost control when my grand-daughter was 12 years old! I hope this jury finds her guility and puts her away for life! I hate that girl and SHE did this.. I can't imagine George helping her bury his grand-daughter!

I keep hearing Casey killed her daugther i listen to George Anthony and i belive he is full of it. Him trying to take his life that is garbage because if some one wants to take there life they would just do it you would not have time to get a six pack of beer.And there are a lot of people that had something happen to there love ones you just don't go get a gun walk around and look for just any one and if you was that much out of it suppose you would have snap you could have hurt someone eles And why would he think something happen to his daugther and granddaugther i hold the hold family responable because if i knew my child had a child and she was unfit she would never be alone with that child.And why don't anyone belive that her father did anything to her i don't belive none of them mother father daugther or brother the whold family is sick

when i started watching this trial,at the beginning,i wanted to see casey hung. then i decided to try and clear my mind of all the media buzz and just listen to all the evidence and testimony as if i were on the jury. then make my decision as to guilt or innocence. the constitution assures us we are innocent until proven guilty. i always thought a trial was an even playing field. this one is not and has not been. i think judge perry has been biased from the beginning. maybe it is because of his prosecuting days, but he has constantly let almost all in for the prosecution and nothing in for the defense. he has decided whether witnesses would testify. i can understand expert witness,but who is he to say if witnesses have relevance in their testimony i believe that is for the jury to decide.i understand that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, but where is judge ito when we need him? personally i see reasonable doubt just as i did in the oj trial,but due to the inadmissions i dont know what the jury sees. i think i would probably convict on a lesser charge than premeditated murder but a mistrial should probably been called earlier.what a mockery of jury prudence and justice. why didnt casey ge a better more experienced attorney?

That ex=casey cop knows just what to say, when to look upset, mad or insulted. I am a grandfather and I can just tell he is full of crap. I am not even go into all the crap he has fed you guys. Just think of this, Why would he buy a gun when his daughter just got out on bond or bail. shoot people that took his grand daughter or to kill himself? None of the above i bet. He is a cop he knows better than to have a gun at home when his daughter got home. But NO. you tv guys make him out to be a hero. Cant you see he wants the spot light. He knows when to cry on stand. By the way being a cop he knows how to kill himself. He is a coward and a liar. He never would have killed himself. How sweet that the police stopped him just in time. The media is going to make him a star watck and see. Remember the last tv star guy that had his tv show because they took his girl. I spit at george anthonys face, he gets pissed on the stand because he is backed into a cornor. Something is up with this guy

What is Casey going to do when this is over. I hope her parents walk away and never look back. I am sure Bozo Biaz will not visit her or send money to her account to buy a snack. I hope she is locked up for the rest of her life the death penality would be an easy way out for her.

What is the importance of what Mr. Krunk did. Casey has told what happened and it is obvious that Mr. Krunk didn't kill Caylee. He isn't on trial. It seems to me that lawyers just seem to enjoy what they do and will extend a trial as long as possible. The more time, the more pay.

Mr. Anthony looks worn out, his testimony today showed the jury that he is tired of running from the truth and let the chips fall where they lay. Good for him, I hope that George, Cindy and Lee find the peace they deserve.

One thing I've noticed about Casey Anthony throughout this trial is she knows just when to turn the "waterworks" on and off. When the Defense calls a witness and they ask their witness about something {i.e.: Prof Karioth, Anthony family members, etc.] the water comes pouring. The minute the Prosecution cross-examines the Defense's witness, the water goes off like the "on" and "off" handles on a faucet. It's a game with her. And, who laughs or giggles in court when they're staring at the death penalty square in the face, especially on-camera for the whole world to see.

The Father put on a show today.
Why does his wife even sit by him after it has been told what he did to their daughter? What kind of person is she? Just like him.
Why is Casey allowed such cute clothes in court? Where is here prision suit? She doesn't deserve to look like she does.
I hope she gets the death penalty and they don't hesitate to end her life. Maybe some duct tape will be donated for her to wear over her mouth.
This whole thing is sickening, the family is full of lies and secrets.
Poor little girl, such a waste. Why didn't she just give her away to someone that would love her.
Very sad, such a show from the grandparents.
Put Casey on the stand and fire questions at her. She has NO feelins about any of this.
Let the circus continue

June 29, 2011,
I certainly hope this letter is acknowledged. I could not have been happier to see George Anthony's day-in-court with this Defense team. Fight the power, George! And may you realize the power of God is with and within you.

mr. baez is flakey and so are some of his witnesses. his whole performance is flakey. this is one of the sorriest trials i have ever seen and i have seen a lot over the years.

i am a legal secretary and it doesn't take anything to see this trial seems to have lost site of the reason for the trial..there is a dead little girl and baez doesn't seem to think it's a problem.

As per usual the public have sentenced convicted and hanged the defendant before the trial is over so typical in the United States shoot first ask questions later..

Most of the she's guilty comments are based on people acting like it was their child that got killed none of you were there for all you guys know the child could have drowned in the pool and then Casey freaked out and mentally lost it; I guess no one here has heard of people acting in denial?

This woman obviously doted on the child there is plenty of evidence of that but not one shred so far that she by her own hands killed that child; sounds like an accident to me followed by one bad decision out of fear after another. I would imagine that Grandfather would hit the roof if Casey stated the kid drowned because she was may be on the phone chatting with friends.

I had a step father that smashed my nose in when I was 10 because he thought I had lied to him some people just fear people I think Casey feared her father and the consequences.

And P.S George Anthony for an ex cop is being way too combative he knows to answer questions but he protests far too much, answer the questions you do not need to answer every question by trying to convince everyone over and over how much you loved your grand daughter we get it.... But over protesting and the lack of the judge stopping him to say 'answer the question' is starting to lose credibility with this guy and he is beginning to sound like a control freak.

This case is very perplexing with all its players and you don't know who to believe on any given day. But I'll tell you that Jeff Ashton is amazing every witness for the defense he scored a home run with. By the end of the testimony it was like who are you testifying for.
That woman although she seemed very nice and knew her stuff re-
garding grief, how is she coming to testify when she never examined
Casey and was just answering in a general manner-that didn't make
sense to me....The defense thought they were slick b/c they had those 2 jail officers testify about Casey's behavior & personality in prison.....Okay......who cares.....this case is about how and why she got in prison and lockup for 23 hrs. a day. Those were the defenses 2 character witnesses don't forget the prosecution brought one witness after another to say no she didn't say anything about her daughter missing or being deceased.
Soooo more than likely they are resting tomorrow. Hmmmmm still
say neither side – well more the defense-proved their case and she
probably will get manslaughter. And this won't be the last we hear of this case probably for years.....Unfortunately.....

I believe that George did not have an affair with woman. If you take the kind of meds George takes, there is no way. He is on blood pressure medicine, anti depressants, and is diabetic. These meds make you impotant, so an affair is not likely. Many men have a deep problem with this as it is embarrassing, and they do not talk about it.

I think the defense should have quit while they were ahead, and putting Csaey on the stand will not help. Just go to appeal.

Death penalty; I believe a eye for a eye: Give Caseythe same thing she gave caley. knock her out bag her throw her and a trunk and forget about her for a week. than throw her in the dump

If the Judge is going to instruct the jury as to believe or not believe statements of a witness he should make that statement at the end once all the witnesses have been heard, otherwise it discredits that witness on the spot that just left the stand.

Why are they allowing George and Cynthia Anthony to hear each others testimony and others before they sit on the stand..????

Fran – I agree. Any man as emotionally fragile as George most likely as not been able to perform as a man since all of this started. It starts in the brain, folks!

I don't think the death penality is unconstitutional or inhumane or cruel. I think if you ask all those people murdered and tortured you would not find one of the that say yes I volunteered to be tortured and killed. Those individuals on death row have many appeals to try and get their sentence commuted to life the victims don't have that option.
Something to think about.

We all knew Cindy lied about the Google search's, I just feel like she is getting to much heart felt understanding as to her just wanting to help keep her daughter from getting the death sentence. Well if you’re going to lie to save her then do it up big. Just tell the court you killed your granddaughter. I hate to be so cold but you lost your 2 year old granddaughter and now you’re telling lie's just like you're daughter did to police while trying to find Caylee. The court needs to charge her with perjury as anyone else that gets caught lying to the court.

As far as George...who cares if he had an affair, it's not relevant to this case. Unless of course it's a case of who can lie the best.
This family does have issues with telling the truth. Perhaps all this hidden information that has come out will help with the healing of the family and all the lies they all have said along the years.
RIP Caylee Marie Anthony justice will be served.

I have been watching, and keeping up with all stories, watching video, of phone calls from jail. Also these past few days of watching lawyers. Casey Anthony with no emotion as I agree with most, only until brother crys she does. Why cry now, She has not from the beginning. I am a single mom with 6 children, I would never think or dream of getting rid of my children my any means. Even is Caylee's death was an accident and she had a mental breakdown she should pay for it. Why cover up something if (Not saying it ways or believe that by no means) accident. I feel that by my own feelings that she is guilty for if my child was gone and found dead. I would not be out partying and laughing. I would so distraught that I could not function at all. I would be crying all the time. So, I do feel she is guilty of killing that sweet little girl, and she deserves to suffer in jail for a long time and then sit and wait an anticipate when she will die. Dont make it easy for her to just die. For she would not suffer enough. I feel that she may die a brutal death once in a med or max prison put her in general population. Let them take care of her for she will get whats coming to her. Pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to comment that I am not wanting her to be guilty, Also that If was an accidental death and she freaked out and made a bad decision. Which makes alot of sense. But the cause of dead is unknown!!!!!!!!!!! She did not use any chemicals, nor had she drowned was proven in autopsy. So what did happen. Casey is the only one that knows, and we may never find out. But if this comes out that she did it. She needs to suffer for it. She may have had help no one knows. But actions speak louder than words. The reason she did not want to testify. Is she is a liar and no one would believe a word she says anyway. Even if was the truth. Only time will tell, and I do believe it will come out not today, next week, month or year. But this will not be over for a long, long time.

RIP Caylee Marie

In the beginning of the trial I thought that Casey Anthony would probably get life w/o the possibility of parole but after hearing the closing arguments of the prosecution I believe that Casey Anthony will receive the death penalty. It is unfortunate for Casey & especially for her Mother, Father, Brother and other family members but, the scales of justice, on behalf of little Caylee Marie Anthony will balance on the side of truth and justice.

I feel like justice was not served. Casey Anthony got off with murdering her child what kind of justice system do we have. A blind person can see that she committed this crime. I pray to God that she does not profit from movies or books and i hope and pray she has a miserable life until she confesses to this horrible crime that everyone knows she has committed. As far as the jury they just wanted to go home so they just agreed on anything and let this baby killer walk.

Dear Mommy...I see you smile down there below...are those tears of joy you show? I'm glad your happy, although you lied...I'd love to be right by your side...but by your choice, I view from above...tell my Grandparents I send my love...it's Beautiful here, is all I can say...your life will go on... without me in your way. Love Caylee XOXO.

Absolutely nuts! Do not release the jury's name's, ans by the way who pay's for the security of these people. this is against the health and welfare of these jurors... I hope a motion to stop this is filed tomorrow on behalf of these juror's. This is outrageous based on this case and special circumstances should apply.

what u did was wroung i hope one day you will tell the truth adout what adout your daugher she needs her mom to tell the truth so she can move on for what you have done to her be a good mom and tell the truth you at least oew that to her and everyone esle

I am a mental Health Evaluator. In watching Casey during the reading of the verdict all I seen was from her was shock!!!! Even casey knows she shouldn't have been found not quilty. Ok so 12 people said Not quilty! have you counted the rest of us??? My lord! Everyone except young or should I say in general " Men" are the only people saying she's innocent. And tell me this, I thought she had been doing time for the fraud...........why is that time included as time spent? If that's the case listen-up lawyers !!!! go get half of those men in prison out. because apparently whatever time they were given initially, no time can be added for any other crimes. Thahts the way I see they have done for Casey. They are counting the time she spent for another crime as part of those four years given in court this week. Let me know what ya think!
THE GIRL IS QUILTY!!!

sunny, please please please stop telling everyone how to feel. just today on in session ,ryan hosting, you started in on casey. i mean Casey the legal contributor.this country is in shock over this verdict. why arent you? sunny, sticking up for the jury is your choice. however i have a problem. there were over 500 pieces of evidence, hours of very telling jail house audio tapes and many many witness's., do you really think they did their job in less than 10 hours, oh and dont forget
their lunch hour and breaks during deliberations.the jury instructions alone should have taken a couple of hours at least. they didnt take notes, they didn't undersand reasonable doubt, and someone was going on a cruise to london. what?????? did they forget a little girl is dead? didnt she deserve more than 10 hour of deliberation, we the people thinkshe did!!oh sunny and dont forget on july 4,2011 they deliberated for about 5 hours, just so you know they had already reached a verdict. how would i know? they were all dreesed up on july 5, 2011, and ready to go home. they worked on emotions,they liked joez baez and they didnt like jeff ashton. sunny, please let the reasonable people in this country morn. when you serve on a jury , you must do your job, i wonder what you would have said if the jury came back with a 1st degree guilty verdict after only 1o hours, sunny it goes both ways ,let us grieve. thank you
