Another red-letter-day for Jose Baez in trying to convince a jury that Casey Anthony did not murder her daughter Caylee. I remember someone once told me that if a defense lawyer pisses you off then they are doing their job correctly. I would have to agree with that but only half-way. I mean, as I am watching this trial it takes every ounce of my being to NOT stab my eyes and ears with ANY sharp object that is laying around, but I have come to the conclusion that Baez is trying is hardest to piss off Judge Belvin Perry, Jr to the point where his honor will throw Baez off the case. Why would any lawyer want to do that though? He is aiming for a mistrial. Baez, to me, knows exactly what he is doing. I'm not quite convinced that he is the total idiot that I believed him to be. I can't quite figure him out. He can't go more than 5 minutes without a freaking side bar. He has no idea how to RE-PHRASE a question to where it will not be objected. Can he seriously be this dumb?
Jose, have you conveniently forgotten about the jail video where Casey states that she picked her father to have a one-on-one with after a month of sitting in jail? Do you remember from that same video that Casey sobs the words "my whole life has been taken away from me"? Do you also remember in that same video she gets angry with her mother because she made chili, a big dinner, for her family? Do you remember when Casey states in that same video, "just let me talk to dad, I don't want to get frustrated right now"? And my favorite part of the whole video was when she clenched her hand-cuffed fists and gritted her teeth when she did NOT get her way. Or, even better, have you forgotten the very first phone call from jail - before the family KNEW the videos/calls would be shown to the public? Come on, you remember it, "Calling you guys was a waste, HUGE waste", "They just want Caylee back. That’s all they’re worried about right now is getting Caylee back. And you know what? That’s all I care about right now." (remember the pause before "and you know what?" I do) I can still hear that whole phone call in my head -Casey's self-absorbed voice will forever and always be etched in my mind on that phone call. She only cared about talking to Tony - can you believe that? Yes, Jose, that video exists and I am praying that the prosecution plays that to the jury tomorrow. Both of those videos. All of them, in whole so they can see the games that Casey plays with her parents and brother. Where was the fear of her father and Lee? Huh? I truly cannot wait for those videos to be played and they can see the true Casey Anthony. You can try to hide evil, but it always shows it's ugly head.
I also cannot get out of my head the last two days when Tony Lazzaro was on the stand. Did anyone see Casey pretending she was still even a glint in his eye? I swear to God she was thinking to herself, "OMG, he just looked at me, does he still like me? I mean, SURELY all of this cannot stop true love. OMG, I have to write him a note. Tee hee, tee hee...he's sooooooooo cute! OMG! I HAVE to tell Simms....." That was her effing demeanor! Yah Baez, something ain't right and it's that your CLIENT does not realize she is on trial for MURDERING HER DAUGHTER!!!!! Ugh, she makes me sick!
Jo Jo, I feel so sorry for you. When you walked to the stand this morning you looked broken. Your spirit was not with you this morning. But you held your ground and did not let Baez make you lose your composure. Caylee helped you to see what he was doing, Caylee knew what he wanted. He is trying to make you get angry so he can say "SEE!!!! LOOK AT THIS MONSTER!!! THIS IS WHAT CASEY IS TERRIFIED OF!!! You saw it right here folks, HE is the monster, not my poor pitiful Casey." You looked that pig in the face and with a calm manner, cool head told him in your truthful answers to "Go to hell, Pig - You are NOT pinning this on ME!" George, I honestly do not know what has made you start telling the truth, but I am so thankful to you. Caylee is smiling down on you. She KNOWS who truly loves her.
Baez, I transcribed the whole first phone call for you to re-read, it speaks VOLUMES of the TRUE Casey Anthony. If I got anything wrong, I apologize, was doing it pretty quickly:
"Cindy: Hello?
Cindy: Casey?
Casey: Mom.
Cindy: Hey sweetie.
Casey: Well I just saw your nice little cameo on TV.
Cindy: Which one?
Casey: What do you mean which one?
Cindy: Which one? I did four different ones, and I don’t know, I haven’t seen them all. I’ve only seen one or two so far.
Casey: You don’t know what my involvement is and stuff?
Cindy: Casey.
Casey: Mom.
Cindy: What?
Casey: No.
Cindy: I don’t know what your involvement is, sweetheart. You’re not telling me where she’s at.
Casey: Because I don’t ****ing know where she’s at. Are you kidding me?
Cindy: Casey, don’t waste your call
Casey: No
Cindy: To scream and holler at me.
Casey: Waste my call sitting in, oh, the jail. (inaudible)
Cindy: Who’s fault is, who’s fault is it you sitting in the jail? You’re blaming me that you’re sitting in the jail? Blame yourself for telling lies.
Casey: It’s not my fault.
Cindy: You mean it’s not your fault? What do you mean it’s not your fault, sweetheart? If you’d have told them the truth, and not lied about everything, they wouldn’t …
Casey: Do me a favor. Just tell me what Tony’s number is. I don’t want to talk with you right now. Forget it.
Cindy: I don’t have his number.
Casey: Um, well get it from Lee because I know Lee’s at the house. I saw Mallory’s car was out front. It was just on the news. They were just live outside the house.
Cindy: I know they were.
Casey: Well
Cindy: Well?
Casey: Can you get Tony’s number for me so I can call him?
(Long Pause)
Cindy: ((in the background) I’m not talking to her. (Inaudible)
Lee: Hey.
Casey: Hey, can you give me Tony’s number?
Lee: I, huh. I can do that. I don’t know what real good it’s going to do you at this point.
Casey: Well I’d like to talk to him anyway.
Lee: OK
Casey: Because I called to my mother and it, it’s a ****ing waste. Oh by the way, I don’t want any of you coming up here when I have my, my first hearing for bond and everything else. Like don’t even ****ing waste your time coming up here.
Lee: You know you’re having a real tough, you’re making it real tough for anybody to want to try to even assist you with giving you somebody’s phone number.
Casey: See that’s just it. Every single ..
Lee: You’re not even letting me finish.
Casey: well that’s because …
Lee: I really…
Casey: Go ahead.
Lee: you’re asking me, first you’re asking me for Tony’s phone number so you can call him. And then you immediately want to start pressing towards me and saying ‘don’t’ even worry about coming up here for all this stuff, and trying to cut us out. What ..
Casey: I’m not trying to cut anybody out.
Lee: I’m not going around and around with you. You know that’s pretty pointless. I’m not going to go through, I’m not going to put everybody else through the same stuff you’ve been putting the police and everybody else though for the last 24 hours, and the stuff you’ve been putting mom through for the last four or five weeks. I’m done with that. So you can tell me what’s going on. Christina would love to talk to you because she thinks that you will tell her what’s going on. Frankly we’re going to find out. Something, whatever’s going on, it’s gonna be found out. So why not do it now and save yourself from this …
Casey: There’s nothing to find out. There’s absolutely nothing to find out. Not even what I told the detectives.
Lee: well, you know, everything you’re telling is a lie.
Casey: I have no clue where Caylee is. If I knew where Caylee was, do you think any of this would be happening? No.
Lee: Anyway, you only got a couple of minutes with us so I’m not going to let you completely waste it. Here’s Christina. She thinks she can get through to you.
Casey: No. No, I want Tony’s number. I’m not talking to anybody else.
Christina: Hello?
Casey: Hi. I’m glad everybody’s at my house. I’ll have to call you later, or I’ll have to call somebody to get your number. Do me a favor. Get my brother back because I need Tony’s number.
Christina: Ok, um, is there anything I can do for you?
Casey: I’m sitting in jail. There’s nothing anybody can do right now.
Christina: Well I’m just trying to be …
Casey: Oh I know you are honey. I absolutely know that you are, and I appreciate everything that you’re trying to do. But I’d like to call Tony. He’s not at my house, is he?
Christina: No.
Casey: Ok.
Christina: No, it’s just me and your parents and Lee.
Casey: OK. Well can you do me a favor and get my brother back or get the number from him, please?
Christina: Um, does Tony have anything to do with Caylee?
Casey: No. Nothing.
Christina: Ok, so why do you want to talk to Tony?
Casey: I …
Christina: You probably don’t want to tell me, do you?
Casey: Huh?
Christina: You probably don’t want to tell me, do you?
Casey: What are you, I didn’t hear what you said.
Christina: I said does Tony have anything to do with Caylee?
Casey: No, Tony has nothing to do with Caylee.
Christina: Oh, so why do you want to talk to him? You probably don’t want to tell me.
Casey: Because he’s my boyfriend, and I want to actually try to sit and talk to him because I didn’t get a chance to talk to him earlier. Because I got arrested on a ****ing whim today. Because they’re blaming me for stuff that I never would do. That I didn’t do.
Christina: OK. Well I’m on nobody, I’m on your side. You know that, right?
Casey: Oh honey I know that. I just want to talk to Tony, get a little bit of …
Christina: Casey, you have to tell me if you know anything about Caylee.
Casey: Sweetheart, if I …
Christina: If anything happens to Caylee, Casey, I’ll die. Do you understand? I’ll die if anything happens to that baby.
Casey: Oh, wow. Oh my god, calling you guys, a waste, huge waste. Honey, I love you. You know I would not let anything happen to my daughter. If I knew where she was, this wouldn’t be going on.
Christina: Well how come everybody’s saying you’re lying?
Casey: Because nobody’s ****ing listening to anything that I’m saying. The media completely misconstrued everything that I said. The ****ing detectives told them ****ing bull****. They got all their information from me. Yet at the same time they’re twisting stuff. They’ve already said they’re going to pin this on me if they don’t find Caylee. They’ve already said that.
Christina: Well…
Casey: They arrested me because they said that …
Christina: Yeah, because they said that the person that you dropped Caylee with doesn’t even exist.
Casey: Because, oh look, they can’t find her in the Florida database. She’s not just from Florida. If they would actually listen to anything that I would have said to them, they would have had their lead. They maybe could have tracked her down. They haven’t listened to a ****ing thing that I’ve said.
Christina: Do you know that that whoever has Caylee, nobody’s going to get away with this. Nobody.
Casey: I know nobody’s going to get away with it. But at the same time, the only way they’re going to find Caylee is if they actually listen to what I’m saying, and I’m trying to help them, and they’re not letting me help them.
Christina: Well how can I help them find her?
Casey: The best thing you can do baby is listen to me. They need to look up her information in a New York database. In a North Carolina database. Other places that she’s lived outside of Florida. That’s what I told them, even again today. I told them that four times today. I sat up at the police station. Up at the county police station for four hours.
Christina: Is she the one who has Caylee or she’s transferred Caylee to somebody else? Because her name has been...
Casey: Honey, I haven’t talked to her. I don’t know. I haven’t talked to her.
Christina: How come everybody’s saying that you’re not upset, that you’re not crying, that you showed no emotion, no caring of where Caylee is at all?
Casey: Because I’m not sitting here ****ing crying every two seconds. Because I have to stay composed to talk to detectives, to make other phone calls, to do other things. I can’t sit here and be crying every two seconds like I want to. I can’t.
Christina: OK. Casey don’t yell at me. I’m on your side.
Casey: I know you’re not.
Christina: Trust me.
Casey: I know you’re on my side. I’m not trying to yell at you.
Christina: Nobody is trying to say anything bad about you. Your family is with you 100%.
Casey: No you’re not. That’s bulls**t. Because I just watched the ****ing news and heard everything that my mom said. Nobody in my own family is on my side.
Christina: Yes they are. Nobody has said…
Casey: They just want Caylee back. That’s all they’re worried about right now is getting Caylee back. And you know what? That’s all I care about right now.
Christina: Casey your daughter, ((Casey in background inaudible)) you brought your baby girl…
Casey: Christina please put my brother back on the phone. I don’t want to get into this with you right now. I love you honey and I’m glad that you’re there, thank you for your help. I will let you know if there is anything that you can do.
Christina: You can’t tell me anybody that can find Caylee? Nobody?
Casey: No. Because every number that I’ve tried, every number that I’ve called is disconnected. Nothing. I can’t get a hold of anybody.
Christina: But that that girl was the last person to have her?
Casey: She was the last person to have her. That was the last time I saw Caylee.
Christina: OK. Umm he doesn’t, Lee say’s he doesn’t have Tony’s phone number.
Casey: Yes he does. He has Tony’s phone number on his phone. He needs to stop f***ing lying. He just told me a second ago that he’d give me the number.
Christina: So if I go and I get you Tony’s number, are you gonna finish talking to me?
Casey: I, I will call you tomorrow. I want to talk to him really quick now. I want to actually close my eyes. I haven’t slept in four days. I have not slept in four days.
Christina: Listen if you’re going to talk to anybody, you can talk to me. And you know that.
Casey: I know I can talk to you. But at the same time, I know I can talk to Tony and that’s who I wanna talk to right now. I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him since this morning. Since all this stuff happened with trying to set up some myspace. I made the myspace. And the facebook.
Christina: Do you know the password to that myspace?
Casey: I made all of it.
Christina: What’s the password to that myspace so we can see if anybody has written any leads of where Caylee might be?
Casey: You can go online and see it. As far as messages, I don’t know if anybody’s gonna be messaging stuff.
(Casey gives Christina the password and login)
Cindy: Hold on. Hold on one second.
Christina: Hold on one second.
Lee: Hold on one second for me.
Christina: OK, Tony’s number
Casey: Yeah
Christina: You’re ready?
Casey: uh huh
(Christina gives Casey Tony's number)
Christina: Can Tony tell me anything?
Casey: Baby, Tony doesn’t know anything. And I haven’t even talked to him since this morning.
Christina: Has Tony seen Caylee?
Casey: Tony hasn’t seen Caylee since the beginning of June. What was the number again?
(Christina gives Casey Tony's number)
Casey: OK thank you. I will find a way to call you back later. Leave your number at my house with my mom. So I can get it and I can either call you later tonight.
Christina: How can I get a hold of you?
Casey: I’m at the jail, you can’t.
Christina: OK, can you do you have a way to write my phone number down?
Casey: No I have no way of writing it down. I have to remember Tony’s number. (repeats number) I have to try to memorize his number right now.
Christina: OK. So.
Casey: No I will. Just leave your number with my mom and I will try to call you in the morning if I don’t get a chance to call you tonight.
Christina: So how can I find out information about that girl?
Casey: Have, have them
Christina: Is she in Florida or?
Casey: Have them look up a New York license for Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. They’ve just been looking up the last name Gonzalez or the last name Fernandez. If they’d looked up her entire name, they might actually find her. They haven’t done that. They haven’t listened to anything that I’ve said.
Christina: How do you spell Zenaida?
Casey: Z-E-N-A-I-D-A
Christina: Fernandez?
Casey: hyphen Gonzalez.
Christina: hyphen Gon, Gonzalez. Where does she live? Because they went and looked at her place
Casey: Because she, baby you’re not telling me anything that I don’t already know. Again, I’ve only been in jail since oh about 8:30 tonight. I was with them all day today. I know that. I was with officers pretty much since 9 o’clock last night. Up until today. Like up until this evening when I came up here.
Christina: But you’re telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Because they’ll find
Casey: I have no clue where my daughter is? Yeah that is the truth. That is the absolute truth.
Christina: They’ll find out and whoever ha
Casey: OK Christina, I’m hanging up. I need to make this other call before I forget the number. I will call you later.
Christina: OK.
Casey: Bye."
Yah, this shows a grieving loving mother....Don't you all agree?
Justice for Caylee!

Caylee's Proud of You, Jo Jo - And So Am I!!!
I'm not going to go into detail of the opening arguments in Casey Anthony's murder trial this morning, I almost vomited when I heard it the first time. I knew they were going to blame George Anthony somehow but wasn't expecting all the other shit. And that's what it was, SHIT! I cannot believe how ignorant Jose Baez believes the general public is. And if this jury believes that Roy Kronk had Caylee's body for several months and then placed her in the woods???? Um, never mind, I'll withhold my judgment. But NOW I understand all the crap Jose was asking during the jury selection, "You do realize that the law says that the defense does not have to PROVE ANYTHING?" Oh you piece of SHIT, Baez!! I can't only blame Jose, every single one of the defense HAD to agree to this bullshit in order for them to go into this. What the HELL were they thinking? I could NOT even follow Baez's line of questioning. He jumped from one subject to another within three words. Honestly, I would bet my life that the jury was like, "WHAT????? I am soooo confused." Good fucking luck with all that defense, good fucking LUCK!!! HOW the HELL did Kronk get Caylee's body you dumb ass???? OMG! This literally makes me ill. I understand that Casey's lawyers are to cast doubt in order for them to maybe save her life, great - that's their job. But....I waited for THREE years for THAT crap??? I REALLY was waiting for (and very much so hoping for) something PLAUSIBLE that may have happened accidentally to Caylee. I was so hoping that Baez could change my mind, that I could maybe believe that Casey did not murder her daughter, that I really didn't know the whole story. I'm guessing that Baez and his crew did not realize that they should never have let Casey have input on what type of lie to tell this jury before hand. Ugh, I can't believe how outrageous this all is.
Onto Jo Jo!!! I had faith in you and you did NOT let me down. More importantly, you did NOT let Caylee down. I am so very proud of George Anthony today. He sat there stoically as Baez and Casey accused George of putting his penis in his daughter's mouth when she was eight years old and then went to school to lie, as if nothing ever happened. He then heard that Caylee drowned in the family's swimming pool. Next he heard that he pulled the limp and lifeless Caylee out of the pool and that he screamed at Casey "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!! YOUR MOTHER WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS." (WTF btw - what was even the reason for that???) George sat on the stand looking at his picture of Caylee for strength, composure and comfort - looked Mr. Jeff Ashton in the eyes when questioned if he had ever molested his daughter Casey and said "No". He was then asked by Mr. Ashton, "Were you home when Caylee drowned in the family pool on June 16th?" Again, George looked straight into Mr. Ashton's eyes and said, "No". Without venom, without disdain, without DISGUST - but with his regained DIGNITY!! George Anthony FINALLY found Caylee's voice! There was nothing but shock and distress on Casey's face as if saying to herself, "I cannot believe he did NOT roll over for me on this one." Well, why shouldn't she be shocked? For three years (that we have actually been able to view) he has stood beside his daughter and lied, covered up evidence - etc..... Oh my, that must have tasted so bad to Casey! Baez not only threw George under the bus but pretty much everyone involved in this case. EVERYONE is at fault EXCEPT poor innocent Casey Anthony. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow - if Cindy testifies. I hope she has finally found Caylee's voice too. Cindy, we ALL know you love Casey - there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with that. But what is WRONG is silencing Caylee more than her mother already has. Prove to us how much you adore and love Caylee. DO NOT ROLL OVER for Casey. She has BLAMED you and George for EVERYTHING that has gone wrong. Call on Caylee's spirit, she will tell you to do the right thing. She will guide you. PLEASE don't let Caylee down. She deserves justice. Caylee deserves PEACE!!!

Punishment is Justice for the Unjust - St. Augustine
It has been a tough two weeks watching the jury selection of Casey Anthony's murder trial. I watched every day, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Even the monotony of it all could not tear me away. It is something that I have never seen before and to me it was an awesome experience. I have come away with the realization that if I were to be accused of a serious crime to where the punishment consisted of death or life with out parole that I would take my chances and go on the run. My first thought was that I would waive my right to a jury trial, but a friend (who happens to be a lawyer) said to me, "Really???? Would you rather have a one out of twelve chance of survival or one out of one?" That's when I looked at him and said, "Well, then, I'll take my chances of running." Think about it, after watching the last two weeks can you honestly say that you have faith in a jury trial?
I picked most of the same jurors as what we have ended up with. I am so very glad that the last woman, who fed kittens and puppies with a bottle, was not picked. There was something very odd about her. When she spoke, it took my all not to cringe at her words. She is probably a very sweet lady, but I don't know.....I am just happy she is not part of the jury. There were many that I thought out right lied when they stated they did not know anything about this case. After day one, I am sure most wanted to be on the jury - I mean, all the people who stayed and said there would be no hardship for them to be away or financially. I would have paid to be on this jury. And not just because I believe Casey is guilty, but just so I could be a part of Caylee's justice. And even though I do believe Casey to be guilty, I do believe she deserves a fair and impartial jury. Which I have faith that she has received.
I can honestly say that if I were picked for the jury that I could lay aside my pre-judgements of her guilt and listen to the evidence. I don't believe that any mitigating factors could sway my opinion though. To me, mitigating factors means "excuses". I cannot excuse actions of murder. We can make excuses for every dang action (or inaction) a person does, but that doesn't change the fact that he/she knows right from wrong. I don't know if being sexually/physically abused would sway my opinions either. I mean, there are so many children who are raised in physically and sexually abusive homes, but not ALL of them grow up to murder; especially their own child. I don't know, that's a hard one isn't it? But I do know that I could and would listen to all of the evidence. And I do think it would be hard for me if the defense does not have to prove their client innocent. Watching this trial is going to enlighten a lot of us that have no clue about laws and evidence, the whole process, and how it all ends.
I've never been too worried about Casey receiving the death penalty because I don't believe death will be her sentence. It's very hard for people to impose death on a woman, especially a young and attractive woman. I'm not saying I think she is attractive, I guess I would if I didn't know about her. But most people find her pretty. I am anxious to see and hear the evidence for that part of the trial. I just hope that these jurors can weigh the evidence as they say they can. I will keep the faith.
I know this will not be the opinion of the majority, but I saw a refreshing side of Jose Baez. He did not GRATE on my nerves as much as he has in the past three years. He didn't seem so smug and arrogant, for the most part anyway. He seemed to have understood what he was doing, even though his questions (some) were ridiculous - he is an articulate man. I'm hoping his circus-esque style of defending his client in the past was just a show, a joke on all of us and that he truly knows what he is doing. Casey's defense team really seems to care for her, she is lucky. Can you imagine what it would feel like knowing your counsel could care less about you? It makes me shiver to think about it.
To the prosecutors and to Honorable Belvin Perry, Jr: Thank you to you all. I feel there is no one to speak for Caylee since her voice was stolen. She doesn't have her mother or father. She doesn't have her grandmother or grandfather. She doesn't have her uncle. But, she has you all. I have so much respect and admiration for each of you. It doesn't seem like this is a job for you. You truly LOVE Caylee and realize, as does the public, that YOU are her ONLY voice. YOU are the ones that seek justice for this precious baby girl. God, thank you all, you are all wonderful; no matter how this all ends.
Justice for Caylee Marie Anthony!

I know this will not be the opinion of the majority, but I saw a refreshing side of Jose Baez. He did not GRATE on my nerves as much as he has in the past three years. He didn't seem so smug and arrogant, for the most part anyway. He seemed to have understood what he was doing, even though his questions (some) were ridiculous - he is an articulate man. I'm hoping his circus-esque style of defending his client in the past was just a show, a joke on all of us and that he truly knows what he is doing. Casey's defense team really seems to care for her, she is lucky. Can you imagine what it would feel like knowing your counsel could care less about you? It makes me shiver to think about it.
To the prosecutors and to Honorable Belvin Perry, Jr: Thank you to you all. I feel there is no one to speak for Caylee since her voice was stolen. She doesn't have her mother or father. She doesn't have her grandmother or grandfather. She doesn't have her uncle. But, she has you all. I have so much respect and admiration for each of you. It doesn't seem like this is a job for you. You truly LOVE Caylee and realize, as does the public, that YOU are her ONLY voice. YOU are the ones that seek justice for this precious baby girl. God, thank you all, you are all wonderful; no matter how this all ends.
Justice for Caylee Marie Anthony!

Justice For Caylee Anthony Is A Slow Process
We are now on day 9(?) with the jury selection. We have had 12 jurors picked at least three times. When we reach 12 jurors inevitably the defense strikes one so they cannot be sworn in. Today, the defense brought a motion, not written, in regards to the due process of their client and how the pace of the selection of the jury panel is infringing on that right. Also infringing on the law of how a jury is sworn in without the alternates. Honorable Belvin Perry, Jr. denied this motion but has now asked the defense how they want to proceed. The court room will not be available tomorrow and they have 16 more potential jurors to be questioned. Honorable Belvin Perry, Jr. stated months ago what jury selection would entail and how he would like it to move along. He has asked the defense will we work late hours or shall we move somewhere else. I have no qualms with this. I believe that Casey deserves a fair trial. I believe that she deserves a fair and impartial jury. What I do have a problem with is that they are delaying the inevitable. Casey Marie Anthony will stand trial for the indicted charges against her. She can't hide and she sure cannot run from this no matter how much she and her defense team wish to.
I feel that Casey is guilty because of her in actions and actions before and after this precious baby was missing and ultimately found dead. I have heard the defense state that "your mouths will drop when you hear the truth" or something to that effect. I heard that "once the baby is found you will all know the truth." Well, the baby was found, dead. Where was Casey screaming the truth of what happened? Where was the outrage from her??? Where was the proof that she had that nothing to do with this? WHY has she sat in jail for THREE years waiting to tell her side of the story? I would never sit in jail for any amount of time to protect anyone. She claims she was keeping Caylee and her family safe.....what BS!!! Caylee was found DEAD, you cannot protect a dead child! WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS????
No doubt I will be disappointed if this trial is delayed. But for Casey to remain in jail to ponder what life may be for her for the next some odd years makes me smile. Go to hell Casey Anthony, because that is where you belong. You are a lying sack of crap!!!!!

Jury Selection - Day Three - Caylee Anthony
I have been watching the jury selection for Casey Anthony’s upcoming murder trial for the last three days. First, I must say it’s an experience for sure, not too unpleasant. The major problem I have with this is the people, potential jurors, who are ridiculously selfish. I’m not going to detail all of their excuses, because that is what they are, but being married for 42 years and not ever being away from your husband IS NOT a hardship. That woman really bothered me, maybe it’s because I am a strong person and just cannot understand that type of thinking. You spend 42 years “taking care” of your husband but when it comes to your civic duty to your country, you cannot “take care” of that? I withhold and keep to myself my true feelings toward her, for now. Also, the Raymond James potential juror? This just makes me acutely aware of how many people in this world who think they are “special,” more special than anyone else. I could carry on with numerous thoughts regarding this type of person, but I won’t.
I understand what type of inconvenience being away from my home for eight weeks would be. I absolutely would not want to be away from my family and friends, but I certainly would do what was asked of me if it would not financially ruin me. I certainly would not make up excuses and say that I am the only person at my place of employment that would be able to do my job. I mean, listen to these people’s excuses - “I umpire at little league,” “I own seven dogs,” “I have a sleep apnea, narcolepsy” “I need to go to church in order to pray to God” - unbelievable. I guess I am just of the thoughts that if they don’t serve, this trial will be delayed. I do NOT want this. Pick me, I’ll be on the jury - you don’t have to pay me. I’ll do it for free!
I watch Casey very closely. Has anyone ever noticed how small her hands are? I don’t know why they give me an eerie feeling, but that they do. My opinion of the shaking of her head "no" when his honor reads the indictment to each of the jury panels is an act. She does the same exact things before each time this happens. It has now happened three different times. She is an actress, not a very good one. You can actually see her psyche herself up for the tears that inevitably appear. It really makes me ill that these potential jurors will not be able to see that until after the case is over. Well, the ones who will be seated won't. Her tears really annoy me. I have seen the actual tear drops that have fallen, but they are not for Caylee. They are not for the reason that she is wrongly accused (in my opinion) of murdering her child. These tears are solely for her self. She HATES to be judged. She cannot stand the fact that they are there essentially to JUDGE her. I would swear to the fact that she is thinking “how DARE they judge ME!” She is angry, not sad. And what a "great" ploy her defense team thought up, no? I wonder what goes through her mind when she sees and hears these young, single mothers work, go to school and take care of their children. I really do. Does she think they are all liars as she is? WHAT goes through a mind such as Casey’s? I think I should have studied to be a psychologist!
I think they will find the jury they want from these people. Monday cannot get here soon enough! It saddens me to say that I am very excited for this trial to start. Being an empathetic person by nature, it goes against what I stand for and believe to be happy for others discomfort. But with this case, for Caylee - I am happy that this will be over in six or eight weeks.

Justice for Caylee Anthony - 2011
I don't know if I hope you are keeping an ear and eye out with what is happening in the Casey Anthony capital murder case anymore. After watching the hearing today regarding "media and public entitlement" (my interpretation) I guess I hope that you aren't. I agree 100% with Honorable Belvin J. Perry, Jr's denying of the motion. I agree 100% with his up-holding his oath as a judge and the rights of the defendant. Because no matter what I may think Casey did or didn't do, if I were ever in her position (God forbid) I'd want the right to a fair trial. I'd want someone to remember the Bill of Rights and the Amendments. I'd want just ONE person to care enough about me, even if they believed I was guilty of committing the said crime, to do the right thing.
I am nervous that this trial is going to be delayed. I do not think it will be fair, not just to every single person involved in this case, but definitely to Caylee. Every person in her immediate family has forgotten about this precious little girl. Well, I can't say that - I am truly hoping that George Anthony has finally regained his sense of right and wrong, found his strength to stand up to the evil that has enveloped him for what some may say for most of his adult life and has decided to be the voice - the heart for Caylee. Not to keep his ass out of jail for the lies, concealment of information and blatant destruction of evidence, but truly for his granddaughter Caylee. Caylee needs her "Jo Jo". I pray that he'll be there for her.
Imagine all of the devastation a delay of this trial will invoke? It's already been three years! And just like his honor, Judge Belvin Perry, Jr., had said - if any of the witnesses die all of their statements are lost, memories can fade. No matter how badly I want to hear, see and know what is going on in this case - I would give that up gladly to know that Caylee will see justice in 2011. Not in another year, in 2011. All of the nonsensical orders being dropped on the desk of the judge is not helping anything. I have seen Judge Perry go from jovial to frustrated and annoyed in a matter of 30 days. I blame the media and the defense. The media because of today's time-wasting hearing. The defense? Ha, I could write about 100 pages for every reason I blame them, but I won't. I blame them, but I do understand their actions. Their job is to defend their client. So be it, but dang - be a little less dense about it in the future.
As long as I can see the actual trial, I can give up my public right to everything else. I am with you on this one your honor. Casey deserves a fair trial even if I believe that she murdered her child. No matter that I believe Cindy is a lying, self-absorbed, self-serving actress (don't believe her "mental break-down" when it happens). No matter that I believe that the only person that matters in this case has no future, who had a pretty shitty past, who is dead - Caylee.

Caylee Marie Anthony - Is Justice aComin'???
I have been playing catch-up on the Caylee Marie Anthony murder case for the past two weeks. It's a lot to take in and it's infuriating to say the very least. I have never in my life seen such lies and deciet in one single case before this. If you aren't watching and listening to what is happening, you sure are missing a great injustice to a child. Not even from her so-called family, but by the defense of her "mother" (and I use that term loosely!).
I thought that Honorable Judge Perry was going to be an outstandingly ethical judge in this case. What I saw this morning (and am still seeing) has made me question him. Honorable Judge Perry has warned Jose Baez (really, is he REALLY a lawyer?????) time and again regarding the rules and practices of trial. You can clearly see he is fed up with JB's actions, BUT he allows Baez to CONTINUE with MORE warnings. If the Honorable Judge Perry goes against his own rulings in the past year, I will be tremendously nervous for the actual trial and outcome. Honorable Judge Perry, you see the ineptness of the defense. You SEE the lies from the defendent AND her family - PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ABOUT CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY!!! I beg you, I beg you.
I have so many things to say about Baez, that will have to be another post. There are just too many things wrong with this guy, which I am sure you are all aware of by now. I will say that his constant whining and tempertantrums are getting on my very last nerve. AND that I cannot believe the audacity of which he tries to get evidence into play. Oh my gosh it pisses me right the fuck off. Sorry people, but I've told you I cannot stand liars and he is ONE BIG FUCKING LIAR!!!!
There is one place on the Internet that I love to read about this case: http://www.thehinkymeter.com/ I don't follow the comments, except when I cannot watch a hearing, but the owner's articles are amusing and so incredibly well written that I find myself there first thing in the mornings and last at night. They all seem to be a great bunch of people there. I highly reccommend Hinky Meter if you wish to follow this case.
Caylee Marie Anthony will have her justice - praying - whether the courts deliver it for her or when the public hands it to her. Her "mother" will not get away with murdering this precious child.
