Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Andrea Lyon Shows Her Thought Bubble
Orlando, FL– At a Defense Attorney Peer Lecture in Orlando, Florida last year, the self appointed “Angel of Death Row” lead defense attorney in the case against Casey Anthony for the murder of her daughter Caylee Marie, shows the world her thought bubble, courtesy of Bill Scheaffer, Legal analyst for WFTV.
It is unclear how Mr. Scheaffer attained the recorded audio which has since been removed from the WFTV site, but what is clear is Ms. Lyon knew her segment was being recorded.
..My Client is human, it’s the jury I’m worried about..” ..Sometimes ugly is presiding… or do you have really great judges in Florida?.. “I have a case right now where both the crime and my clients confession are on on videotape.. I just think that’s unfair.. I mean, one or the other, but both?..
I wonder if anyone has asked Alton Logan what he thinks about it?

Re; the article from the sentinel, Baez wants the jail to stop video-taping his meetings with Casey. If there is nothing to hide why stop it. Does anyone think that this could have something to do with the bar complaints against him? Personally, I’m getting a little sick of Baez’s crappy motions.
What about the other lawyers who visit there, are they not allowed a vote on this. This is protection for both the client and the attorney. What gives Mr. Baez such a sense of entitlement. As for Ms. Lyons seminar, that lady is nasty, nasty, nasty. Did not like her before, now knowing what she thinks, makes it very disturbing to watch her perform.
And Joy, what can a person say? Reaally!
Justice can not come soon enough for Caylee IMO. Waiting patiently, however, is getting more difficult. Another question to ponder, when will the circus end? I fear it will continue long after the court battles are over.
#197 Pamela, excellent post, thanks for the head check.
Joan
IMO
I think it has alot to do with his embracing casey and the complaint at hand against him. He has something to hide!! oviously
I too will be glad when this fiasco circus show of motions ends and casey gets her due!!
that is when justice will be served for caylee. Baez is arrogant and so full of himself! Without the lyone guilding him he would be clueless as to how to proceed.

Motion to Destroy Videos of Family Visits<<< this leads me to believe there are more videos than we have seen.
So they they want all the video from the attorney visits destroyed even though there is no audio?? What are they trying to hide??
They have been after Kronk from early on…I don’t remember which document dump it was in…but all the emails released that were from Dominic Casey and the A’s and Lee….it was clear then they were after Kronk, R. Grund, Jesse…..anyone they could dig some dirt up on.
read the above elsewhere and it made sense to me so I decided to share .
I will be so glad when all this is over and done with !!!and caylee gets justice! who cares what happends to the rest of the characters involved! they can fade into the sunset or ride out of town on the horse they rode in!!
Its all about Justice for caylee thats what matters.
Karma will get the rest in due time!!
Well said, Pamela. I think you speak for a lot of people. I hate the attention the family is getting and yet I’m part of the problem because I’m paying close attention to the case. But I’m sure that once the trial ends, I, along with many, many others, will be glad to never hear the name Anthony again.
The defense also wants the judge to order the jail to destroy any and all video of Casey’s family visiting her in jail.
http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2009/12/2/caseys_lawyers_want_death_penalty_out.html
what about the transcripts of those tapes, no mention there, do those tapes really show the evidence of her guilt, she never confessed on those tapes she lied on them but no confession. I think they can prove that it was not Roy, and that indeed Caylee was close to home, but that is about it…IMO
is there something I missed?
Niecey has posted a very thoughtful, intelligent and logical post with regards to Lyon’s speech.
http://tinyurl.com/ykyfkzh
I love that the “OLE Zanny the Nanny did it” theory is being bypassed, that to makes her look even more guilty. For over a year that has been the case, not anymore….love the who did it, pointing fingers at everyone else BS logic the Defense(less) is putting out there…they have no case, no arguement…these Old Skool tactics make me laugh…the State is not going to play the game of CLUE with these idiots…and neither is the Jury…IMO
Dear Bees,
“yet I’m part of the problem because I’m paying close attention to the case”
no way are any of us “part of the problem” we are all Caylee supporters…NOT…CASEY supporters….you included!
that being said we are not the problem, we are the solution, the honesty and the support for this lil baby who had no one in the time of need!
So do your thing, cause I am going to keep doing mine!
Bees post
“I hate the attention the family is getting”
get all the attention you want Anthony’s, that attention will only buy you a place next to your daughter Casey…have your fancy boat, have no jobs, sale your photos and your story….that will NEVER bring Caylee back and will never buy you a place in heaven no matter what your “Pawn Shop Owner” tells you.
I would live in a card board box before I would sale myself out like these fools, I don’t care what they have here on this earth because what ever they have they can’t take with them when they die, all they take is their character and that suitcase is going to be a small carry on!
Dee, you’re right ~ as long as we’re clear that it’s Caylee we’re supporting. Just as Linda Drane-B said last time in court, when the Judge said, “to protect the family” and Linda DB quickly corrected him and said, “No . . . actually it’s to protect the CHILD who is DECEASED.” Even Strickland lost site of who the State is protecting.
I am trying to understand all this better. This helped me.
Casey Anthony: Insufficient Funds (Part Uno)
December 2nd, 2009 Richard Hornsby Leave a comment Go to comments
As a break from my recent juvenile rants about other lawyers’ cluelessness, I am going to address a more serious legal issue; the significance of Casey Anthony’s check fraud case in relation to her First Degree Murder case.
Randie- would you be so kind as to add the link to this, and for future reference, you can provide a “snippet” of the article, not the entire article, combined with a link.
I agree it is worth the read.

Blink, See if this works:

I will try again.

Hope this works.
RE: Post 215
Blink, I just read Hornsby’s article that you recommended reading. Although good, it was a shock to read about Carla Larson, again. I knew and worked with Carla, saw her probably 10 minutes before she left for lunch that day. We were all part of the development and construction management team working on a huge new construction project, a very happy job site, until that day.
When the police couldn’t locate her some of my co-workers went out with some Indian trackers and they were the ones that found Carla.
What had been a very happy world for all of us turned into a sad, desolete place. We couldn’t wait to finish the project and get away from the heartbreak that this project brought us. There is a tree we planted in her memory and a sculpture placed in a remote area of the project. It was a terribly sad time and I’m tearing up again in rememberance after reading Hornsby’s analogy.
PS- For those that don’t know, Carla’s husband’s sister was one of the girls that was murdered at Florida State — this family has suffered at lot.
Sosad- Please accept my deepest sympathies and I wish your heart peace my friend.
B
Dear Sosad.
I am so sorry. It bothers me that this article hurt you so. I just am trying to understand what is going on with this case. I have been researching and researching. I just wanted to share somethingg I had found. I never knew of your relationship with Carla.
I am so sorry about your pain. Please sleep well tonight.
R
Your a kind soul. You had no idea. Sleep well yourself friend.
B
Dee, while Casey Anthony never confessed on those jail videos, she did make some very revealing facial expressions and gestures. Especially when her mom asked if there was anything she wanted said to Zanny(i think that’s what she asked) and Casey kind of rolled her eyes and laughed… then got into character… I had a huge “Aha!” moment when i saw that. I hope the jury is able to see it.

BILL SHEAFFER: Analysis Of Motions To Be Heard At Casey Hearing
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer talks about the motions that will be heard at Casey Anthony’s December 11 hearing….
Randie and Blink-
There is no way to know when we find something that touches someone else’s life. It was just a surprise to see her name. Thank-you both for your thoughts and keep researching.
Makes no sense to me– poor Sgt. Allen, first Cindy, now Joy. And then switcheroo that she’d rather be with the state, doesn’t like how the defense shows up at her house without calling first…
She can’t make up her mind! The defense CAN’T be serious… unless it’s to try to set the OSCO up for trying to destroy exculp. evidence, as Ms. WrongWray suggests.
This isn’t enough of a circus yet and it needs ‘this’ IP grabber ????
From the above rosespeaks blog comments: (no kidding very poorly researched article)

Thank you for doing a good story about me, you have almost nailed whoever wrote this story. Sgt Allen cant get rid of my videos I have them eles where In a safe keeping. I was prepared for this day. This seems like a nice blog, I also like daves blog as well. Those other to lieing searchers are from scared monkeys blog.They never sign up with equsearch. They have both been in my rooms on chatango Trying to get info where is was searching and what I saw or smell ect…. I have there IP numbers LE has it as well. They are Just trying to get the 15 sec of shame. She has no photos of where the body was found. She took the phots somewhere eles. Or she went there and took them after Caylee was found and changed the dates. To be honest with you I rather be on The States Side in which is Justice 4 Caylee. I dont like how the defn show up at my house numerous times without caliing or anything. I will see what happens next. If you would like to watch my toutube chaannel it Joyangels4caylee……… Thanks and God Bless You , JOY
Kleat- “wrong wray”.. priceless. There is irrefutable proof of this woman’s instability.
I am waiting for the right Floridian Barrister to take up her cause, wink
B
Sosad, I am very sorry for your loss. I know you must be such a caring person,I can understand why your posts are filled with such compassion for victims of crime. Carla sounds as if she had a wonderful friend in you and her other co-workers.
Thank you for sharing this story.
I am sorry to hear of the family’s new pain and loss due to the tragedy at Florida State. My thoughts are with you and Carla’s family. Peace
Interesting hornsby article, thanks randie, but doesn’t the state have any real evidence against casey—-you know, enough that they wouldn’t have to have an “if-she-testifies-in-any-way-we-will-call- her-a-lying-felon” card in their back pocket? Cuz in a DP case, you’d hope their case were a bit more solid…
State: Casey Anthony murdered her daughter
Casey: Did not!
State: LIAR! Ladies and gentleman of the jury, look at this paper I am holding in my hand: 13 felony convictions for writing bad checks. She is a proven liar. Ha! Take that, Lying Liarson!
(and…scene!)
#194 Word Girl. Am I guilty of a pregnant pause? I am. Sorry. Should have phrased that differently so as not to seem a tease. I am too much of a wussy to name the important lady in question. I’d get verbally stoned by many. Since I was only quoting a columnist. I’ll stay politic.
I guess I missed everything about joy wrays computer, and people coming to her house? Also, if she is that mentally unstable, why does she still have her children with her? Just wondering about her.
Suz, #225
I am not a lawyer I am a common citizen. So I don’t have that answer. But, the article hits points for me that puts “Casey’s Day in Court” in perspective for me.
Let me bring back fragment of Hornsby’s article:
At this point, you are probably wondering what in the world does this story have to do with Casey Anthony’s Check Fraud Case – and I tell you it has everything to do with her case!
Because even though Huggins never testified, Mr. Ashton was able to introduce Huggins’ NINE FELONY CONVICTIONS pursuant to Section 90.806, Florida Statutes, which permits;
“The introduction of a defendant’s felony convictions when the defendant elicits his or her own exculpatory, hearsay statement through another witness at trial.” See Huggins v. State, 889 So. 2d 743, 756 (Fla. 2004).
The Florida Supreme Court reasoned that “a defendant who chooses not to testify but who succeeds in getting his or her own exculpatory statements into evidence runs the risk of having those statements impeached by felony convictions” and Mr. Ashton did just that.
So the court, at Mr. Ashton’s request, took judicial notice of Huggins’ nine felony convictions, entered each of the nine felony conviction dispositions into evidence, and instructed the jury that “the evidence of John Huggins’ nine felony convictions should be considered by you … in weighing the credibility of the statements attributed to John Huggins.” See Florida Standard Jury Instruction 2.5.
Needless to say, John Huggins was found guilty as charged and is currently on death row, sentenced to die.
What Does All of This Mean?
It means that even if Casey does not testify, she can still be impeached with the 13 felony convictions obtained from the Check Fraud case if Baez attempts to offer her “testimony.”
So, if any witness (but especially Cindy, George, or Lee Anthony) is called to testify by either party and the defense attempts to elicit exculpatory statements attributable to Casey Anthony, the State can impeach the exculpatory statements attributed to Casey Anthony by introducing her 13 felony convictions and asking Judge Strickland to read Florida Standard Jury Instruction 2.5 to the jury at the same time:
“The evidence of Casey Anthony’s thirteen felony convictions should be considered by you … in weighing the credibility of the statements attributed to Casey Anthony.”
So even if Casey Anthony does not testify – she may still “testify,” in which case I suspect a suspiciously named prosecutor will be waiting with 13 crisp copies of felony convictions…
[So, wheather or not this can be labled a "card", I do not know. But, what I see is this:
Casey DOES NOT want to testify.
So......If anyone of her family members are asked to speak and Casey's defense tries to draw out of them statements that clear Casey of any wrong doing. Then BAM! The State can "impeach" those statements by introduing the 13 felongy convictions. She DOESN'T want those concitions launched in her "Day in Court."
This article made sense to me and put pieces of the puzzle together to that a layperson like myslef can unerstand the issues.
Other than this there is something that is stuck in my head. As for "real eveidence" against Casey, I see things this way.
If I walk in the Kitchen and my child has:
chocochip residue all over his face
there crubms are all over the floor as well as the counder
it is so obvious that the lid is off the cookie jar....
(needless to say the guilt across his face).
Just because he yells at the top of his voice, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Someone else did." Is any mother so dumb and ignorant to believe him or even blame someone else?
Such as: It must have been the milk man because milk is setting at the front door. No, it must have been the propane guy, he had access to my house, there is a propane receipt on the door. Oh, no it really must have been the cable guy....becasue he had access to my house and was IN my house. How absurd!
The child is caught and disciplined. End of story.]
Blink, you read my mind– wondering if WW has yet a ‘better be a damned good one’ lawyer yet!
Because she doesn’t seem to get it– she’s the next Kronk and you bet they are trying their darnest to get some thread of a link somehow, to put her in link with some other dude, including Kronk.
I still have a feeling that this defense is not staying with a single ‘look who the cops didn’t investigate because they were set on our client’ patsy.
It’s going to be a ton of police problems they will try to reveal, has to be doubt in there for their client, so they will try to play the doubt + doubt + doubt = reasonable doubt. We need a logician in this class to help us with that theory!!
ie: doubt caused by a martian could have ‘did it’ plus doubt the pillsbury dough boy could have ‘did it’ equals even more doubt that either could have ‘did it’ or someone else could have ‘did it’ because there were so many police failings.
But WW is going to help this family in ways she has no idea are coming– but she has children, and they will be the victims of Casey and her defense in this too, if they publicly put WW out as another failed suspect. Who knows, they may even get what amounts to a confession– look at that last quote I put there– she’s talking both sides of the coin and doesn’t even seem to realize it, trying to be flip with the ‘I’d rather help the state’ idea to show she’s really being ‘honest’ in her position to help Caylee. She knows the state, and only the state, is on Caylee’s side in this.
Blink– proof of instability could be the ticket for the defense in this WW matter and the jury just might by what the defense can pull out of her on the stand. I want to know if they prompted in ANY way, that appearance in court, by planting little seeds of notions, how she can help Caylee, wouldn’t it be something, you being the hero, or even asking if she has ever been in a courtroom to see what goes on and she gets a little ‘ticket’ slid under her door, so to speak– getting the public to know who she is as a hero for Caylee, then showing what they want to show at trial.
seems andrea lyons one innocent was her 1 anomaly. i cant help but say andrea lyon seems in general to represent guilty people.saw in the cake.
andrea saw casey’s uglies on tv protestesting outside casey’s bedroom window and thought is was the perfect backdrop for her agenda & book publicity imo.Cindy used caylee to control casey,and often times pulled the rug out right from under casey,casey’s getting away with lying and stealing in the family and even her friends letting her slide,attributed to casey thinking she was ultimate bullshitter,and escalating into further more complicated socipathy as life got harder (thinking leaving the nest).Having a cop dad and cop boyfriends,and ability to hang with allthe guys the way she did,and hourglassbod made her think she could win the cops over.and she was never fully attatched to the mother idea and role.

Death penalty motion due in Caylee case
Published: Dec. 3, 2009 at 12:12 PM
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 3 (UPI) — Attorneys for Casey Anthony said they will argue a motion in court in Orange County, Fla., against the possibility of their client facing the death penalty.
The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel said Thursday that Anthony’s defense attorneys will attempt to convince Orange County Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland to stop prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against Anthony, whose daughter Caylee was found dead in December 2008.
Anthony’s defense team argues in a motion filed in September that prosecutors do not have sufficient aggravating circumstances to support a death penalty request in the first-degree murder case.
In addition to opposing the possibility of a death penalty request, defense lawyers planned to use a Dec. 11 hearing to target recordings of their client.
The Sentinel said the defense team will present motions aimed at stopping Orange County Jail officials from recording interviews with Anthony.
The lawyers will also seek the destruction of any previous recordings of their meetings with Anthony, 23, whose 2-year-old daughter initially disappeared in June 2008.

These were listed on the My Clerk’s website for yesterday:
12/02/2009 Notice of Unavailability
from Attorney Linda Drane Burdick
12/02/2009 Motion to Dismiss

Do you think the Notice of Unavailability could mean that the 12/11 hearing could get rescheduled?
Also, who is Elgine Furlow?
Not sure what it applies to.

How the Grinch Stole Casey Anthony’s Christmas
December 2nd, 2009 Richard Hornsby
It was recently announced that Judge Strickland will address four of the Casey Anthony Defense Team’s motions at a hearing on December 11, 2009. They are:
1. Motion to Preclude the Death Penalty Procedures
2. Motion for a Protective Order Directing Orange County Jail to Destroy Videos of Family Visits
3. Motion for a Protective Order Prohibiting Orange County Jail from Videotaping Attorney Visits
4. Motion to Dismiss Counts 1,2, 4, 5, 7, 8 10, 11, 13 for Violation of Double Jeopardy Clause
The scheduling of the hearing on these motions provides not only a timely interlude in the progression of her Murder case, but also a timely and brief interlude from my two part series on her Check Fraud case (Casey Anthony: Insufficient Funds).
Unfortunately though, I think that this interlude will not provide Ms. Anthony with any early Christmas cheer, as it appears that Santa will not be giving her anything on her Christmas wish list – she must have been a naughty girl this year, tsk tsk…
Oh Casey, just what have your attorneys done?
Continued at link. http://blog.richardhornsby.com/2009/12/02/how-the-grinch-stole-casey-anthonys-christmas/
So in a nutshell, the Florida Supreme Court said “too bad, so sad” to any privacy objections an inmate may have about a correctional facility recording their jail visits.
Blink, Mr. Morgan might just be interested in the photo published November 29, 2009 (geeze by guess who??!) in Part one of the search for Caylee story.
Ms. WrongWray is at it again, this time, she has published Ms. Zenaida Gonzalez’s photograph (a club photo source, did she even check copyright before using it) but not only does she put Mr. Morgan’s client in her little story of how Caylee was left with a babysitter named “Zanny”, she puts text right over Mr. Morgan’s client’s photograph, stating ‘ZANNY GONZALEZ’. And we all know that Zanny is the Zanny Nanny, kidnapper/killer person, and further, she says but the sherriff’s office does not look for Zanny Gonzalez outside the Florida ‘data base’. (Casey said that! and we know that Mr. Morgan’s client had out of state plates).
Ms. WrongWray has no comments yet, seems too new a video.
Mr. Morgan should take a look as the defamation is published again in recent days and Ms. Wray knows this woman was cleared, knows she is not ‘Zanny Gonzalez’, and knows there is a defamation suit ready for trial.
The photo of ‘Zanny Gonzalez’ is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUTYCVSrQVI&feature=fvsr
Go to: 1:43 seconds in to the 5:06 minute video.
Video description:
” joysangels4caylee, November 29, 2009, Part 1 of the Caylee Marie Anthony Story Told by Joy Wray”
Is this what Cindy Anthony referred to as ‘gang tattoo’ that Mr. Morgan’s client had? WHO PROVIDED that photo to Ms. WrongWray for publication? It has an icon label that looks like ‘Channel 6′ but the photo was labelled FuegoParties, so maybe there’s a copyright. Can Ms.Wray republish without risk?
Warning… This is 5 minutes and 6 seconds you will never get back people!!
I am doubled over, did you see the trunk shot?? It is not Casey’s!! LOL
I wonder if her friend Pres. Bush gave her the ok to post that.
(blink saluting)
B
Where did Channel 6 Talk get the photo, and where did JW get a nice shiny copy for this video rather than a video copy off the tv screen?
Kleat, I am literally crying. Forgive me all, this is not nice, but if I could direct the attention to the beautiful little girl on the trike in the back. That pad is 2′ x 4′.
She pedals twice, has to lift up the bike and turn around.
Oye Vey. Make it stop.
B
geez kleat
what a nut job wrongray is!!
is she trying to be part of the mix! to be known as a friend of the anthonys. she is doing them more harm han good a total embarassment to be asociated by the likes of her.
sounds like she is about ripe and ready to be baker acted again.
joy does not have clear vocabulary and is terrible at spelling1
my point? someone else proof read and helped her set the video up.
I know I know who cares and blink your right that is NOT !! caseys car.
good observation.
cant imagine reading a book joy writes. she has no clue and is going to need serious hooked on phonics help.
the end
Blink, Part 2 is coming, WWWord is… You bet that Cindy had the idea to get that tattoo arm photo of ‘Zanny Gonzalez’ into the news. She can’t do it, as agent espressio pour poor Casey.
Here’s a hankie, girl… sorry… (and I’m not even going to remind you of what might have been Mr. Morgan’s expression when he learned of ‘this’ new little photo and text overlay publication… better yet, what Ms. WrongWray heard when she answered her plainjane rose pink princess phone this afternoon– or whenever she gets the Mn’M call. Can she spell ‘I’m lawyerin’ up now?)
She has a lawyer already. I think it will be short term
B
Chica, thanks for pointing that out– you noticed too!! But there were a few Joy-full moments near the end. Yes, someone helped.
Personally Blink, I can’t wait for Part 2!!! The suspense about how the woods were searched, the photos, the video, the notes about the defense’s field trip with Ms. JWW, all to be revealed in the well written texts that are not Signature JWW will advance our knowledge of the case, no end.
Double snark alert.
B
(Ain’t doin’ no measly uni-snarks ’round here no more. It’s double-barrelled or bust)
Kleat, I need to take minute to thank you. You have made me think, laugh & cry for the past year. I owe almost all of my understanding of this case by reading your comments. You are very much appreciated.
I’m just shaking my head here. You can tell the women is “not the sharpest tool in the shed”. Why does she have to proclaim it to the entire world?
Well, this is off topic but here in the Houston Tx area we are preparing for a SNOW!!!!!!!!!!—3-5 INCHES. My six year old granddaughter was screaming SNOWWWWW!!! as she ran into the school this morning. I am going to Walmart to get a disposable camera to take pictures of my little poodles in the snow. As we say here everyone will hunker down today. Have a great day. I think I have said snow about 5 times already!!!
Thanks Kleat for the video link- I know Blink sent out the warning but I couldn’t resist. Of course she was right I will never get that 5 min and 6 sec back. What kills me is this case has been such a circus for so long and I tend to just want punishment for Casey and everyone who is involved in the cover up. When I see videos like this it reminds me of what that precious little baby went through. I just wish for one second SOMEONE on Casey’s side would just say “This is about CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY”, but instead they make it about Justice for Casey. I am honestly an extremely level headed, unbiased person- I always try to see all sides before I react. In this case there is only one side to consider and it is Caylee’s side. Children are murdered every day by horrible monsters and that is hard enough to take. Imagine being a precious little angel and finding out the monster is someone you adore and who is supposed to protect you. As far as Casey’s defense team goes- I know they are doing their job and they took an oath to do so, BUT I believe by NOT recognizing the real victim in this case they are confirming to the ( according to Lyon’s) not so smart Jury what they already suspect- it is all about Casey as it has ALWAYS been. They will hold the hammer which nails the coffin shut for their client. IMO- they are responsible for the way everyone views their client.
As far as Andrea Lyon’s goes- I am offended by her calling her clients “Human” and the jury consists of “Killers”….hmmmmm! So believing in the death penalty lables you a killer, BUT killing an innocent person lables you a Human! And don’t even get me started on the whole “rape” BS she spoke about. I understand the defense has a job to do in every case, but come on- I think you actually have to be Human to get a jury to view your client as such!
A little OT, but as I was reading Diane Fanning’s book, I was surprised by a quote from Cindy during a jailhouse video with Casey. She must have said it, and I probably forgot about it. When Casey was talking about after Caylee is found and Casey’s back home with the family (oy vey), Casey tells her mother that she’s already thinking about scheduling work around Caylee’s home care. Cindy tells her not to worry about that, “you don’t have to work”. Did she really say that? Wow. So, once again, Cindy tells her precious, beautiful daughter that she doesn’t ever have to work again, that she will support Casey and Caylee. Similar, I’m sure, to what she told Casey when Casey suggested giving the baby up for adoption.
