Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Andrea Lyon “She Didn’t Kill HER KID”

Posted by BOC Staff | Andrea Lyon,Casey Anthony,Caylee Anthony Case,Jose Baez,Murdered | Thursday 7 January 2010 10:22 am

New York NY– In what was to be the kick off of the promotion tour for the release of her new book, Andrea Lyon quips the flub of the year:

Andrea-lyon-laughing

 “..SHE DIDN’T KILL HER KID..”  

Ms. Lyon.. That “KID” has a name. It is Caylee Marie Anthony.

Ms. Lyon appeared this morning on the Today Show this to promote her new book: Angel of Death Row: My Life as a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer and was interviewed by Today host Meredith Viera.

“The intense media scrutiny here has made it, as far as I can see, virtually impossible to get a fair trial,” Lyon told Meredith Vieira.< ?xml:namespace prefix ="" o />

 She goes on to compare her clients case to that of the Salem Witch Trials.

 

“The fact that she’s been pilloried in the press … I would liken this, Meredith, to the Salem witch trials,” Lyon said. The attorney went on to describe the mass hysteria that inflamed Salem.  

“..that the death penalty puts a lot of pressure on a defendant even when they haven’t commitLyon acknowledged ted a murder. “She didn’t kill her kid,” Lyon said of Anthony.

It is unclear from her statements if her reference was a clue, or tantamount to a confession from her client Casey Anthony as to how and who murdered her daughter, Caylee Anthony .

    (ROAR) she did “She Didn’t Kill That Kid” Wow, that is huge!
    Does she even understand that this is the year 2010!

  2. martha says:

    Well, Well, I am assuming tha MS Lyon is talking about THAT KID—must be ole Snot Nose Brat. How caulous and stupid can you get!!!! The Today Show must be very hard up for news.

  3. myers says:

    She did not kill that kid!! How cold can one be. Like she said, she has info she can’t disclose. If you have info that tells you for sure that your client is innocent, then spill the beans and stop wasting all this tax money. Maybe she is trying to say (without saying) that something that Casey did wasn’t meant to kill the kid. It is the cars fault for being so hot. Put the darn car on trial. This woman has gotten involved with a case that will put her winning streak to a hault. I really feel that she regrets getting involved. I can’t wait until the trial begins to here about all this info she has. ok, yeh, right.

  4. Coco Puff says:

    Hey Blink, been hanging around for a while.

    What a coincidence that Andrea would take on the job of head council in a death penalty case knowing she was going to be publishing her book on that very topic during the litigation of that case. She is on record for having a complete distain for the death penalty in general but shouldn’t be concentrating on why CASEY should not get the DP? It seems her fight to abolish the DP belongs in a different venue. By the way Andrea, we know what KILL means, you don’t have to keep reminding us of that. After all, that is why we are all here.

  5. Steadychick says:

    I don’t care for Lyon, but she did say “She didn’t kill HER kid”, not “that kid”.

  6. Amy says:

    Blink,
    Do you think the defense might go back to the accidental death.. Remember when Casey first went to jail the defense filed papers stating that if the child was in fact dead it was from an accidental over dose of over the counter medication or something like that. I feel like after watching Andrea Lyons today they are either going to cop a deal but say she did it under pressure or that they are going back to it was an accident..

    I have always thought that, my mind has never changed.

  7. Nicole says:

    This woman is just so foul. Her name was Caylee, not kid!

  8. myers says:

    Also, her statement about it not being a murder. Come on lady, are you serious. Grasping at straws.

  9. Teri says:

    Well – Ms. Lyons certainly isn’t sounding overly confident regarding winning this case.

    In fact – she sounds rather resigned to losing.

    Of course, that wouldn’t be because the client was guilty – but because of all the media exposure.

    Um, sure. Okay. Yep – that’s it. It isn’t the evidence. It’s the media exposure.

    Well…since she is so sure her client didn’t kill that kid (how crass), and has evidence to prove it – I cannot figure out why any lawyer worth their salt would let their innocent client languish away in jail for 2 years.

    Must be one heckava secret that can only be told in a courtroom in front of jurors. And, to be willing to take the risk of presenting the “innocent evidence” in front of that jury? Must be some pretty jaw dropping stuff.

    For the love of all that is Holy – make this crazy train come to a screeching halt.

  10. Nowhere Man says:

    Is the quote “she didn’t kill THAT kid” or “she didn’t kill HER kid”? Quoted text inside article (no reference as to where it is from) says “her”, title of article says “that”. Makes a difference, at least in my mind.

    Your correct, I got the quote before a soundbite/video was available. I changed it. For me, calling a baby murder victim “kid” is grossly disrespectful to both Caylee and Casey, regardles.
    B

  11. PamVA says:

    I really believe once she’s done using Casey/Caylee to peddle her book, she will back out of this to keep her winning streak alive. She doesn’t have a prayer with this one. IMO

  12. Carol says:

    Good Morning – I think we have an error here Blink – I’m not sure what I feel about Andrea Lyon…But she didn’t say “that kid” – she said “her kid”. Thinking she is not using Caylee’s name because she needs to keep things as unpersonal as possible. Below is the clip:

    Lyon acknowledged that the death penalty puts a lot of pressure on a defendant even when they haven’t committed a murder. “She didn’t kill her kid,” Lyon said of Anthony.

    There was a long pause.

    “You’re absolutely sure without a doubt?” Vieira asked

    Yep, fixed already, sound bite came after quote
    B

    “I’m sure,” Lyon responded.

    “Based on?” Vieira said.

    Lyon pointed to the evidence. “There’s not even any evidence that this was a homicide, let alone any evidence tying her to it,” the attorney said.

  13. NoseyRosey says:

    I find this interview to be a little ironic- or moronic if you will. Why on God’s green earth would Andrea Lyons say “her kid” or “that kid”? She obviously knows she and Baez are just as unpopular as their client which tells me they are privy to the information on this site. So why, why , why would she not take some advice (from all of you brilliant blinkers) and humanize Caylee just once. She had a golden opportunity to show some respect to a little girl who lost her life tragically- accident or not.
    Those comments make it seem as though Caylee Marie Anthony is just as much a nuisance to Casey’s attorneys as she was to her mother.

  14. alice murdoch says:

    Blink,

    Under AL’s picture in quotes you have “She did not kill that kid”

    Please correct your quote, what she said is “She did not kill her kid”

    Love reading your post, thanks for standing up for Caylee.
    Wonder why AL did not say “She did not kill Caylee”. Maybe part of an effort to make Caylee seem less human by not attaching a name to her, defense tactic maybe.

    Nope it was all changed , try refreshing.
    B

  15. NoseyRosey says:

    That sounded a little harsh- I do not want to say Caylee was a nuisance to Casey- that is really unfair to Caylee especially.

  16. alice murdoch says:

    sorry Blink did not read all the comments before I posted.

    Lol, all good.

    Ok Blink– I’m not reading any further in this article past the header– and not reading, no, not a single comment —————yet.

    Today show is A.L. not on yet, must be in their next hour– talk about timing!! ‘flub’– a teaser not spoiler!!!

  19. LindaNewYork says:

    Oh, please Lyons. All high profile cases are all over the press. You need to come up with something better to say.

  20. ada says:

    ‘That’ kid or ‘her’ kid shows a lack of respect for Caylee and her family either way. I do think A. Lyon has plenty of issues from her lack of respect for potential jurors to her opinions about female attorneys. Just another arrogant narcissist IMO.
    The trial was postponed because of her classes but she has time to write and “pimp” a book.
    Interesting that her law students are assisting with the case.
    I do believe that Casey will get LWOP rather than the DP, but not because of AL, but because the death penalty is such a contentious issue.

  21. shyloh says:

    Using the word “KID” regardless to me is cold. Detached. Disrespectful. And if the Defense would like us to feel guilty for not liking them. (TOO BAD) Maybe they should find it in them selves to address Caylee as her daughter, or Caylee, or that baby girl. IMO.

  22. artgal16 says:

    Outrageous thats the only word I can think of right now to describe
    Lyons that is fit to PRINT. She didnt kill her kid? Did you see her face? If that wasnt the most half-hearted defense of a client that I have ever seen its pretty close to it. She doesnt even believe it herself and it shows. I just cant wait to see her go before the jury
    with this same half-hearted defense. Yes Ms Lyons, you should be very very afraid for your client because shes going down. On another note
    I also read that for every check fraud charge Casey could be fined up to $5000.00 each so with 9 counts that is $45,000.00. I dont think it will be so much but it was reported that any monies in her jailhouse
    account (for her little luxuries)after she is found guilty or plea’
    it out, will be taken out of her account! Wow no more goodies. Unless of course, someone pays her fines – and that brings us back to the money trail. That will be a very interesting development to come!

  23. Kleat says:

    Even without using someone’s name, if this is what the defense needs to do, to depersonalize, using ‘her child’ or ‘her baby’ would have been far more appropriate, even to Casey’s defense, I’d think, because she would project the ‘mother and child or mother and baby’ connotations of love and nurturing and care.

    Lyon’s statement was clearly intended to show a callousness or detachment that could work in the defense’s favour, as ‘she didn’t kill that person’, but it works against the defendant instead. If her lawyer, her lead DP lawyer, says ‘her kid’, it’s a reflection on the defendant and we will hear it repeated in trial in the form of Casey’s own written or recorded words in ‘the little snothead’, my mother is taking care of ‘the kid’, even in jail videos, we hear ‘I want her back’ without ever hearing the child’s own name from her own mother.

    It seems to have been a planned statement because Lyon’s stops mid sentence and brings in the statement as if it was rote ‘insert these words here’. But it only adds to the detachment of the victim, which is probably a fine plan for some stranger killing defense tactic, but not in this situation where ‘her child, Casey’s baby Caylee’, is the victim.

    Is this the plan for the defense, to diminish the victim by not only making her nameless, but of lower value, from Caylee, to her child, to her kid. But it does reflect the client’s own words, doesn’t it?

  24. Mix from NC says:

    Blink, I know you said the Anthony’s read here…with all the great clues & A-Ha’s moments, how long would you say it takes for G or C read here, then to run to their attorney (or if Baez is reading for that matter) & say this blog is saying this and this one is saying that?….I think the bloggers are catching onto to us….they’re figuring this out on their own…..And make them go try & cover their tracks before someone catches on? Seems like it would make them say, “oh crap, we’re skrewed!”…no way of getting out of this one….too much technology. Who’s one step ahead of the other? Hopefully the Justice Seekers!

    They all read here.

  25. Alegna says:

    AL is correct, they are detested by the public as much as Casey is. She states she’s able to tap into peoples emotions, then refers to Caylee as “KID”. I sincerely hope the publics opinion has an adverse effect on her book sales. I never heard of AL before this case so she succeeded in making a name for herself, However not a very good one in my view.

  26. Janice says:

    Blink,
    Thanks for posting this article. I do have a couple of comments.
    It is nice to learn from Andrea Lyon herself that it is not just her working on the Casey Anthony Case that she has upwards of a dozen students working on the case too. Andrea Lyon stated there is no evidence of Homicide. Has Andrea Lyon not read the Office of Medical Examiner District Nine report 1401 Lucerne Terrace Orlando, Florida 32806-2014. Report of Examination Decedent: Caylee M. Anthony Case Number: ME 2008-001567 MANNER OF DEATH: HOMICIDE

    #14 Rosey “So why, why , why would she not take some advice (from all of you brilliant blinkers) and humanize Caylee just once.”

    I believe it’s very deliberate, and a strategy to dehumanize the murder of Caylee so as to take some of the human tragedy out of the story for the jurors. The defense would have us think about her as a “kid” and not a precious baby whose life was brutally taken by her mother. Likewise, their vain attempts to label Casey’s charges as an effort to “kill their client” (which I’m so over and believe everyone else is, too) are meant to humanize Casey.

    Does anyone really believe that Casey’s dowdy appearances with long, plain hair and crumpled, ill fitting clothing in court is because no one is bothering about her appearance? She is deliberately appearing to us this way to remove her from the Tar-Jay shopping, mini-skirt clad party girl behind the shades.

  28. new says:

    Lyons goal is to not have Casey suffer the Death Penality. I don’t think she really cares if she spends LWOP. If Lyons can mitigate LWOP she will win and again be successful cause Casey will not get DP if found guilty. Lyons presentations are basic she uses words that are simple and emotional. She appeals to the common juror. Words like kill and kid. Many familes say my kids. I think the words she uses are relavent to her goals. She did not kill her kid is an easy statement to remenber and repeat. She wants to hear this from just one or two jurors.

Everything we see and hear from this crew is intended to distance us from the horrific crime of their client.

  30. Kleat says:

    “Andrea Lyon is not only the LEAD attorney on this case…” That’s not what the Orange county clerk’s court records show.

    “Not even any evidence that this was a HOMICIDE, never mind evidence attaching her client to the ….” .

    So what is this Roy Kronk, Jesse Grund, Amy Huizenga, Zenaida Gonzalez, ‘the nanny as someone who is watching Caylee’, got to do with the child’s death?

    The defense is admitting, especially with what they have done to Jesse and Roy (that we know of), that the child must have been killed, and if it was in a kidnap scenario, it doesn’t matter if the child’s death was accidental or not intentional, it’s a homicide. But a mother… can they really explain all this away by a scared or inappropriately behaving mother whose child died and then needed to create some wild story to make the death appear a homicide after a kidnapping? (as she told wild stories, piling it on, then piling more on top of that, as George said).

    Maybe the defense will rely on Casey’s history of fabricating tales on top of a small truth. And the small truth might be an oops with her child then going to extremes to cover her own role in the ‘accident’.

  31. new says:

    Lyons will win if Casey gets LWOP. That is her goal. Her wins even though her clients where found guilty did not get the DP. She uses basic words like kill and kid to appeal to the common jurors emotion. A lot of families say my kids. It is said most often in an endearing way. You don’t hear them saying my children. She just wants two jurors to say she didn’t kill her kid. An easy rebutal for any juror to say in discussion to fellow jurors. I think this woman is very smart and her words are relevent to her goal. Although I agree what she said was not professional or respectful of Caylee. I think lawyers have to be the best salesmen.

  32. lil Lucy says:

    Andrea is as wacked out as her client.I for one did not watch her on TV. I believe in being an advocate for the less fortunate, but for murders who take innocent children as prey and do the most henious things to them should not be on this earth. Even in the biblical world people died for their misdeeds, KC isn’t anything close to Godly, she is demonic. It was no accident, duct tape on the baby’s face tells it all.

    I don’t think they can get a jury to believe that it was any type of accident. An accident is something we all are sorry for. An accident doesn’t make us give false information to LE, and an accident requires a 911 call most all of the time. AL needs to get off her white horse, Mother Teresa is dead and she in no way can ever come close for those on deathrow. I agree KC is another meal ticket for her in her new book. I wonder how many ums are in it. And Caylee is a daughter who was not loved and treasured, she was a grand-daughter and through her video she was a great-grand-daughter, KC and Al refer her to kid and snot head.

    If I were a deathrow inmate and AL came to me with her so called belief I would be begging for the needle, she is so f**king boring. In order to be a good advocate you have have to have spunk, not air!

    Which witch hunt?

    There wouldn’t be so much buzz without the FLA Sunshine Law. Yes, we might have heard dribs and drabs, but no real evidence before trial. Maybe Lyons should make her next mission to abolish that law. Personally, I believe that too much is released, especially in regard to peripheral players, witnesses, and personal issues unrelated to the case, but I digress.

    It is human nature to become irate in the face of such great deception, to be astonished and feel sucker–punched when a child disappears and the mother doesn’t respond with the natural maternal instinct of protecting her and launching the forces out to find her. Mothers (of all species) need to do this for the survival of their kind. We are hard-wired to believe that it is right, expected beyond morality, in an instinctual evolutionary way. I haven’t ventured into the pitchfork and torch group to “tie ‘er up and burn ‘er down”, so Lyons is speaking in generalities: which she would angrily dismiss if attached to one of her clients or associates. She sure likes to lump other people into categories, though, especially if it stands against her position. She wants to position Casey as a victim of the press because it is much more difficult to reasonably present her as a victim of the “kidnapping”. And she isn’t willing to divulge what is wrong with Casey and why she never reported her child missing.( Which I understand) Maybe it will be compelling in court.
    But, right now, it’s easier to shoot the messenger, blame the usual suspects (media) and cast all others with a contrary opinion as venomous idiots.

    The defense, on the other hand, could have quietly presented the “compelling evidence” about Roy Kronk in court, without turning it into a media storm, so who is actually being hunted, and by whom? Who is being hunted: Casey, Jesse Grund, Richard Grund, Roy Kronk….(to be continued)??

    It is so disappointing and sad that our criminal justice system is not about finding the truth, but winning. And yes, this occurs on either side; defense or prosecution, in different cases.

    West Side has hit at the heart of the matter for me-

    I do NOT care which side you are on. This child, and what happened to her, is the issue, not how many ways to convolude it or blame innocent people.

    Moreover, your analogy about the witch hunt that has been going on for just about every person connected to this case at the hands of the Anthony’s and their attorneys is spot on.

    It is exactly that- about winning. My theory? I think Andrea Lyon is trying to get fired from this team. She has figured out that humanizing her work, and that is EXACTLY what this case is, is a detriment.

    If I were trying to portray my innocence, and my attorney referred to my dead child as “her kid”, I would be seriously considering my fate at the hands of this attorney.

    Kleat.. Think you are right… They will use her past behavior as part of her defense, her copping skill of lying. She learned at an early age that it worked.

    Kleat “Maybe the defense will rely on Casey’s history of fabricating tales on top of a small truth.”

  37. dee says:

    she is terrified? as HER client should be, I just said out loud “oh I hate that woman” then I said “not because she is defending Casey but because of her antics” is that going against your last section on this case? Sorry Blink if it is…I don’t hate Baez, he is too dumb to hate…sorry..;-)

    I am just to angry to even finish hearing this noise, 2 minutes was enough for me…

  38. lil Lucy says:

    Blink I know you wanted people to stop resenting the A’s, and I know we all have the right to be represented, but we should not have the right as professionals to capitalize on innocent victims. This deathrow meathead doesn’t get it, it scares me to death that there are actually people out there that would stand for a murderer after knowing clearly their acts. I wonder if this were one of her children, or if Caylee were her grand-daughter if she would be so gungho on saying oh please let the killer live, he/she can be rehabilitated? I believe murder is justified in self defense, KC sure can’t use that as her reasons for killing lil Caylee.

    If society though that the death penalty was not needed it would never have become an option. Not all states have the DP, but the one’s that use it use it for exactly these types of cases. Not every killer gets DP, but then not every killer stuffs their baby in the trunk to decompose either. They should have charged KC with violating a dead body too. Man these people infuriate me, I know she will go on deathrow, I believe that Florida has solid people that will be able to relate to Caylee’s last days on earth, and how she was taken by her mother and tossed in the trunk with the rest of her garbage. WTF who does that? Maybe a obssessed boyfriend/girlfriend mad stalker!

    I believe I posted some of this on Blink before (way back) or emailed it to her.

    Confabulation, the pathological production of false memories, occurs following a variety of aetiologies involving the frontal lobes, and is frequently held to be underpinned by combined memory and executive deficits. However, the critical frontal regions and specific cognitive deficits involved are unclear. Studies in amnesic patients have associated confabulation with damage to the orbital and ventromedial prefrontal cortex…..
    From the earlier link, but at the bottom of the page. I chopped it up a bit:

    Forensic Implications
When the lies of pathological liars lead directly to a clash with the judicial system or with an administrative structure, psychiatrists may be asked to give advice about the nature of pathological lying. Untruths are of particular import in forensic assessments and present the expert with the challenge of sorting through the applicable differential diagnoses that may encompass pathological lying in a particular case. We certainly recommend that psychiatrists complete a thorough clinical evaluation of these individuals and obtain an extensive longitudinal history of the lying. Obtaining collateral information from relatives, employers, and other relevant associates would be particularly helpful, as would be a clear understanding of the individual’s past legal entanglements. Attention should also be paid to clarifying external and internal objectives of the liar. We expect the evaluation to be better structured if the psychiatrist recalls the diagnostic entities potentially associated or confused with pathological lying. Psychological testing may also be helpful in establishing whether a psychotic disorder or malingering is present, or whether the lying is couched in particular personality traits. There is no specific psychological test currently available for the detection of pathological lying…….One relevant concern would be whether an individual is considered responsible for any acts associated with pathological lying. Would it be feasible in some cases to assert that the lying was uncontrollable? We realize that pathological lying as a defense does not reach the threshold of insanity in most jurisdictions and we are certainly not advocating that it should. We believe, however, that when the behavior is properly framed for the prosecutors, the defendants may get some consideration……A complicating factor in making assertions that pathological lying is uncontrollable is the observation that it may sometimes coexist with ordinary lies. Any evidence of lying for self-benefit is likely to confuse the picture, even if the individual mostly tells pathological lies. Judge Couwenberg’s misrepresentations of his educational qualifications were seen by the commission as examples of lying for direct promotion of his self-interest, and even though some of his lies were not so easily explicable, he could not shake off the impression that his lies were for obvious gain. Another complicating factor is the observation that pathological liars usually have sound judgment in other matters. As stated earlier, this observation makes it difficult to prove that the pathological liar does not know that what he or she is doing is wrong…….A final question concerns whether a pathological liar is competent to stand trial. Could it be argued that the compulsively repeated lying prevents the pathological liar from effectively assisting his attorney in representing his case? Inability to present a consistent story and to bring relevant information to the attorney’s attention is likely to confuse the attorney and impair the collaborative relationship between the defendant and his attorney.

  43. Mrs C Hop says:

    new – I agree, I often use the phrase my kids but then again all my kids are happy and healthy not scattered bones left to rot in a swamp by a murderer sooo..yeah Lyons really disgusted me with that. In my opinion she would do alot better to try her Hardest to humanize Caylee and use her name every chance she gets to remind everyone that Caylee is Casey’s daughter who she loved. Unfortunaly for the defense we can all plainly see by her actions and demeanor that is not the case. It IS scary to see such a witch that can not even FEIGN concern for her daughter isn’t it? (YES Lyon I said witch!!) UNLIKE the salem witch trials Casey’s team gets to assault our ears and minds with this CRAP of her 100% innocence…which she can prove with her story, BUT this story is a magical story (not to be confused with a “script”) that can only be told inside a courtroom otherwise…what? it won’t work?

  44. dee says:

    my God I hope the Lion says something stupid like “her kid” in court no way will that callous kind of comment win any sympothy…where did they find this lady (term used lightly) at a damn junk yard, is she a mother herself, I think so heard in the depos she had to feed one of her “kids” how the hell would she feel if this was her “kid” and some B!(@% said that about her flesh and blood, I need to go I am sick right now…do we think the A’s are offened at that comment probably not…

  45. martha says:

    I am glad to hear that all the Duhfense reads here as well as the A’s. Do they just make up statements as they go along. Arent they supposed to have some semblance of the truth? Every time they open their mouths it is so laughable. Do they really think we, the people are that goofy not to recognize a scam when we see it? If Casey did not kill her “kid” and you can show that bring it on. What is the hold up unless it is book sales and more money. They are all so ridiculous.

    And if I were on the Duhfense side or the A’s and DID read here, I would feel very stupid and very scared. Maybe the Blinksters have a big bus coming back at cha!!!! Look out!!!!!

  46. Shelly says:

    Someone said above Lyons is smart. Smart enough to know that she’s going to trial in a southern state. In the south we use the word “kid” with affection.

    Saying that, Lyons carefully thought out what she would say. She had one agenda. To make Casey look like the “victim” instead of Caylee.
    Gimme a freaking break here…Salem witch trials!

    I was impressed that the news clip did bring out some of the negative aspects to the case at least. And some of the questions to Lyons were tough ones causing her to say it’s an uphill climb.

    All in all, it seems with Lyons words and demeanor today we got a glimpse of the defense’s knowledge that they are facing a battle that they can only win by getting life without parole. That, and her book promotion is Lyon’s agenda. That is clear in this interview IMO. The need to speak about her feelings towards the death penality is indicative of exactly what her agenda is here. And to furthur throw in the statement after being asked about public feelings towards Casey Anthony….she states and the attorneys too….speaks loudly. The defense dream team is gone.

    There is no evidence to get Casey off. And for Lyons to say no murder was committed, we all know that not one… but 3 (THREE);….not short,… but LONG pieces of duct tape were over that babies mouth and nose.

    In this case the prosecution is silently watching the defense fiasco and waiting…the truth cannot be hidden by such antics. The truth will send Casey to face the truth. A truth she cannot hide from when the prosection shows evidence of what she did to that beautiful kid we call our angel…Caylee Marie Anthony.

    Happy New Year all you fellow Binkers. 2010 will bring justice for Caylee.

    No, she didn’t kill “her kid.” She killed Caylee Marie Anthony, her baby daughter. You know, the “kid” who was in her womb for nine months. The “kid” she gave birth to. The “kid” who was a human being and had every right to live a long, happy life. You know, that kid.

    Makes me sick.

    #31 Excellent post.

    After this segment, I’m more convinced than ever that the defense will pull the “accident” card. That’s how Lyon will save her client from the death penalty.

    Dear WSH, love your inputs!

    “There wouldn’t be so much buzz without the FLA Sunshine Law. Yes, we might have heard dribs and drabs, but no real evidence before trial. Maybe Lyons should make her next mission to abolish that law. Personally, I believe that too much is released, especially in regard to peripheral players, witnesses, and personal issues unrelated to the case, but I digress.”

    BUT wasn’t it Casey’s attorney that faught against a Gag Order in this case? If that is true this is his fault! IMHO
