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

If I ever run into any of my Angels and she looks like Lisa Lampanelli or Bigfoot, I’m heading for the hills man.
No you won’t, that’s where she lives, and then you will be all hers..

martha…remember Lion comments about idoits…(something like that) we are beneath them…
Blink Andrea won’t get fired, she is the only one on the team who can complete a full sentence granted it is full of cuss words, LB is off the radar lately she is out getting her roots done, visiting Saks to get that professional over the top makeup job and promoting her book that will bring her more money…
again sorry Blink it is ok to vent today?
There is still no defense of never reporting your child missing.
Because Casey NEVER reported her child missing. Sometimes we read that that she waited 31 days to report it. That is not a true statement.
She was rounded up by Cindy and brought home and told Cindy that Caylee was taken. Thats not the same thing as reporting Caylee missing.
That alone will speak volumes to the jury. As to murder or an accident,
if they now try to back away from a kidnapping by the fictional nanny, then why the duct tape if it was an accident? They are screwed.
37 westsidehudson.. great article thanks.
O U C H!
Words we have heard publicly from Defense. Not fair, witch hunt, state wants to kill, innocent, no evidence, junk science, all this could easily be repeated by a juror in heated debate during discussion with other jurors in defense of Casey. The word kid now has the media mob up in arms. Just proving the theroy of the witch hunt. In the earliest interviews George used the word kid when referring to Caylee. The word kid is not offensive to me. Lyons used it to achieve a goal. Not professional but effective.
Hey Judge Stan, if these idiots want a change of venue, could you please ask them to stay off national TV. WTH?
haha to blinks reply to boz’s post lmao.
myers
I totaly agree I too think this will bring down her winning streak! cold blooded woman with no heart to refer to caylee as a kids not humanizing her. geez now I know why dee you emailed me and said you were pissed.
Where are you seeing that there was a letter delivered from Casey. Can you please tell me how to get to that site?
It does not say Casey, it says “from prisoner”, Judege Strickland would refuse exparte communication from Casey so I do not think it was from her. If it was, it would be noted exparte and from the defendant.
I think people are just assuming it is from her.

Pam
I dont think either that she has a prayer to win this one although a litle prayer would be good to change her prison matron persona!
sorry blink I will behave!!
yeah I think she will walk away but if she does baez is screwed who is gonna teach him to talk and put sentences together.
Mothers, like Casey are psychologically damaged and suffer from emotional detachment from their own children. Attorney’s like Lyon who defend these monster, are detached from the victims because they choose to be. How else could they stand themselves and what they do.
Blink, thanks for clearing that up. But what site is everyone seeing this information?
Blink, The website is http://myclerk.myorangeclerk.com/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=6236234
And it says on 01/05/2010 Correspondence
Filed From Prisoner to Judge Rec’d From Judge
I wonder if this was Lyon’s way of setting the stage for her exit…..
I just have a quick question I’ve not seen discussed in a while….now, Lyons says Casey didn’t kill her kid. Does the defense now think someone did? The Anthony’s were saying those were not Caylee’s bones…..so, NOW have we established that is infact Caylee that the Anthony’s had creamated and wear in their jewelry? Couldn’t they avoid all of this by just never admitting it was Caylee that was found on Suburban Dr.?
you know my grammer and spelling may not be as good as others but my mind and thought process is fully intact. I say that to say this!
I get my point across so do others!!. I know the defense comes here and read and even if they see that many of us dont have the best of grammer we get our point across. sometimes we dont use the best of grammer and spelling cuz we be too busy on the pounding the keyboard!!! trying to get our point across AS fast as we can before we forget what we were thinking ! we want to respond to someones comment and try to hurry it!! and hell with the other! yall know what I mean yall get my drift right?? were here because we want justice for a little girl that has a name. Caylee Marie Anthony the only CMA.
many good posters Hell I couldnt compete with I just sit back and read and put in my two pennies worth hoping it hits a bullseye somewhere!!!
I will never buy or read that ladies book. She is a terrible lady. I hope everyone boycotts her book. Maybe if she sees people care more about the victims then killers she will start doing the right thing and help with victims rights. Are at least fine a death row person that may not be guilty. I hope she doesn’t make money on poor little Caylee. I think by her defending Casey she hurts her No death penalty agenda noone cares if a baby killer is sent to death.
This may be a stupid question, below where it states the letter received from judge etc. etc, that 7000.00 something dollars comes from where and what exactly is all that?
find it funny that both LB and AL both came out with a book, was that their intention for joining the case? Public Exposure?

EXACTLY
Remember you 2 who called this… She had one foot in the cab at the last hearing
B
chica….your right that is what happens to me all the itme I am so PO’ed I just go off…but the meaning is there…
Hello Blink and crew,
Blink….I was hoping that maybe, possibly, somehow:) you could elaborate on who you think Casey may have been signaling at Universal when meeting there with LE. Any crumbs you can throw my way….
Also Blink, should i once and for all stop trying to figure out Frank “McsKeever” and the calls between him and Casey in June. Still think that matters. Please tell me to get a grip blink if i am just letting too many theories in my head:)
Thanks Blink! As always, i enjoy ALL your research and hard work. Please stay as relentless as you have been!!!!
yeah Blink I saw that Lion walking with her head down she wasn’t the Queen of the Jungle that day…
Dee-
borderline my friend, borderline.
Please.

#68….Bullseye Chica!
Could this be the letter the prisoner wrote to someone earlier? The motion does say Filed from Prisoner to Judge Rec’d FROM Judge. Is it possible the letter was in the possession of the judge until 1/5/2010. Just wondering????
Reading everyone’s posts. All I can say and it is mind boggling is this is just the most Fu**** up mess I have ever seen. Even more ridiculous than OJ Simpson defense team. What back alley do all these people come out of and think that they are so special, and bright. Like Chica said, maybe we cant spell but at least we are not trying to pimp anyone or anything like Baez and Lyon are doing. Each day it is like being in The Outer Limits show—-truly a nightmare where they tell us day is night and night is day and expect us to believe it. Not even Stephen King could make this stuff up!!!!!!!!
you know I try really hard not to just hang Casey because of the charges against her, there have been plenty woman (and men) who have done the same crime, the difference to me is the lack of empathy from all involved, that is what enrages me, maybe if there was just one person (family, friend) taking a stand in this case maybe my anger would not be so strong, I mean after a year and a half I haven’t seen or heard from one, that is what I just don’t get.
I would still be angry over the case even if there was a supporter for Caylee, but it would be lessoned because of the love coming from the other side and there just isn’t another side, why is it that total strangers get it and the fam-damnily doesn’t?????????
sorry Blink, I feel you, I am going to sleep this one off for the night…zzzzzzzzzzzz my apologies
Here’s the letter. It’s from another prisoner to Judge Strickland. Just somebody with a wild imagination…..
http://www.wftv.com/pdf/22174302/detail.html
Well I guess we are all done here now, given this fine gentlemen’s “conclussion” and all.
ftlog.

ps. What is a virginin?
Is A. Lyon going to be charged with assaulting K. Belich? Wouldn’t that be schadenfreude? If Lyon walks, will Casey still have to have a DP qualified attorney for the trial, or for the sentencing?
Lol. Absolutely. Baez cannot represent her if the DP is on the table.
B
What a piece o’ work she is!
Thanks for the article Blink, no way can I watch any of them on tv anymore. For my sanity I just cannot stomach watching any of them.
My take on her is that these word choices are carefully thought out. She’s a pro, using a term that is offensive generates buzz. It baits a lot of us to post all over, in effect, proving her SWH idea. She can smugly point out that by a mere unfortunate choice of words she has gotten the backlash from the same hateful folks that are trying to ‘kill’ her client.
I think even her decision to take the case was carefully decided and fortuitous. How lucky can you get? A book by the first woman blah, blah… and a sensational mother on DP trial, a woman against the wicked system and all that. same as with Baez, IMO they don’t care if she’s convicted, it’s all about the money.
WOW….did the defense see this letter before Lyon’s had her TV debute? The letter says…..Casey Anthony is not the killer of her kid. Then Lyon’s comes out in the last couple of days and say the same thing. Things that make me go hhmmmmmm. I’d like to see some hand writing samples from Lyon’s students. Whew…..that writing gave me a headache but I could make out enough of it to get the jest of it.
Thanks for that Sal……answered my question that was upthread. Another letter…..Different nut!
I haven’t even finished the whole letter. Don’t know if I’ll be able to after reading that Casey “rand” off with the drug dealers duffle bag! OMG!
So this lifer prisoner being trasferred to another prison was allowed to shoot the bull with ‘O Town Finest’ for what – an hour or so? He tells quite a story – and gets every last detail, too. It all fits – except the part about Caylee playing in the front yard alone.
She wasn’t worried about the drug dealer when she was out bar-hopping almost every night of the week. If a high profile drug dealer was after me or my family….I believe I would make myself real scarce!
Thank you for bringing us this story Blink.
Lyons IMO is very misinformed or she believes every one is stupid and our emotions are easily manipulated. As she so kindly informed Meredith’s uneducated (she hopes) audience.
Casey Anthony’s treatment is just like the Salem witch trails. She goes on to point out mass hysteria led to innocent women being “burned at the stake” because they did not act in the way other’s thought appropriate.
The Salem Witch trials are reminiscent of Casey Anthony’s trail in one way and one way only. LIES!!
Several young girls began acting possessed and accused their slave girl of bewitching them. Not because of the way she acted, but because they were bored and she, as a slave, was not a human being, so who cares,right?
The other women that were accused of witch craft were not accused because of the way they acted, but because others had a personnel grievance with them,they did not attend church, they owned land or they spoke out against the trials or for the innocence of the accused. The only man to be accused as a witch, was the husband of an accused woman.
One woman died in prison, and the others were hanged, they were NOT burned at the stake. As for the water test, no one died from this procedure, that I am aware of, they however would fail the test and be subjected to other tests, such as having a devils mark,(often times a mole or a birth mark) if a mark could not be found, those examining the accused would search for a (hidden or invisible Mark) by pinching or poking the accused, until the “devil’s mark” was at last visible.
These WRONGLY accused people, with no evidence other than that of a supernatural unproven sort, no matter what, were found to be witches. They had no defense against the accusations. They could offer no evidence to refute witchcraft, because the evidence was a figment of people’s imaginations.
Casey Anthony has a team of Lawyers, experts, and student lawyers working tirelessly to provide her with a defense.
They are willing to change stories at will,
-It was Zenaida-
-It may be Jesse.-
-It was Amy-
-It was Ricardo-
-It could be someone Casey crossed.-
-Wait it may be Kronk- To now it seems, the new story is, there is no evidence of a homicide. Casey didn’t kill her kid, which one can assume means Caylee and Caylee somehow, not directly a result of her mother’s actions or inactions, died and Casey is innocent of everything except,being to afriad to come forward to say “My baby is dead” and she instead covered up the death, put her baby in the trunk, placed tape over her little mouth and nose, compared her to dead squirrels,lied and partied, then decided to dump her little body, in trashbags, and an old toy bag without fanfare or her beloved “Mamma” doll, to be eaten and pulled apart by wild animals so she could lead “La Bella Vita”
Yes, thank goodness Lyons cleared that up for us, know we can see the simply truth for what it really is….
LIES OF CONVENIENCE
I am seriously of the opinion that Lyon is doing her best to get booted. For her to make the statements she did, tells me this defense is not speaking to each other.
B
BuHhahahaha! O-town’s Finest! Thanks alot I got a headache trying to decipher that mess…Yes it seem’s eerily similair to the defense’s postion…er one of them…wait…I thought there was no homicide? Uh Casey’s no murderer believe the murderer lol it’s too much I can’t take it..
Wow, way to go, Mom! Nice, concise argument. That whole burned-at-the-stake thing has been thoroughly debunked. Andrea Lyon was so condescending to “fill us in” as if she was Dan Quayle correcting our speling. Does she not know the demographic for the Today Show? It’s ironic that she believes she knows her audience (jury) so well that she can speak callously, disrespectfully. She is doomed. ‘Better get the EL out of there right now.
I think you may be right Blink. It is either Lyon’s wants free of this case,so her winning record won’t be tarnished. Or she and the rest of the defense are working together in the hopes to show how inept Casey’s defense is so she can get an appeal.
I loved the part in your article when you so rightly pointed out that Lyon’s was there to promote her book. You were right on, as usual Blink.
TY friend
B
Blink, Good Grief! If Ms. Lyons quits or gets fired and that leaves them without a DP lawyer will Judge Strickland have to AGAIN DELAY the trial until Baez can get a new DP lawyer on board, who then would have to be brought up to speed on everything that has happened so that the new DP lawyer could effectively defend Casey? If that would happen how many times can a defense team be allowed to delay a murder trial before the Judge actually says, enough is enough.
“B
ps. What is a virginin?”
It’s a male loosing it maybe??
(answering incognito for obvious reasons!)
YOU DID NOT READ THE LETTER!

george anthony on Fox News talking about how hard is is to live under a microscope. Gee, George, i have a suggestion for ya!! Stay off the t.v. You reap what you sow.
I did get a little chuckle out of watching AL squirm under the tamer Meredith who quickly followed the “she didn’t kill her kid” statement with “You’re sure, without a doubt?” AL’s words said, “yes” but her face almost betrayed her! Had to force those eyebrows up and nod and look sincere. Wish I could have frozen that tape.
Actually, I think she got herself in trouble a little earlier as she was talking about people who were treated unfairly when “they didn’t do it…” and quickly dove into “she didn’t kill her kid.” If she would have slowed and executed that statement as a segueue into her assertion, then we might not have heard “kid” or been so indignant about this topic.
Question. I don’t really know how the system works with State cases, but I do know in federal cases the defendant has the choice of a trial by judge. Does Casey have this option?
If Casey’s attorneys are really concerned about a fair trial and are 100% sure there is NO evidence linking Casey to the crime why wouldn’t they opt for trial by judge? If I knew for sure the evidence wouldn’t point to me I would most likely choose trial by judge. Judge Strickland has been very fair on both sides- why not let him decide Casey’s fate?
Note how the ‘letter’ is unsigned, but also the writer (using that term loosely) claims that she ‘didn’t kill her kid’ and repeats that a couple times.
Can we assume that this person and Ms. Lyon went to the same English class!??!
I understand why Andrea Lyon is against the death penalty, but I don’t understand how she can defend an accused killer. How does that work… I know you are charged with murder and you shouldn’t have done that (assuming you did), but I’ll defend you and work hard to get a not guilty verdict, but if you are convicted I’ll make sure you don’t get the death penalty!?! How can she defend someone that she knows committed a murder? Does she only defend innocent clients? (doesn’t look that way) She should only be a part of the sentencing phase or she is just a blabbling hypocrite!
What a nut who wrote that letter. Now you really think that a drug dealer is going to double bag someone who he can careless about and also stick things in the bag with her like her blanket. Like they are going to take the time to do that. No, he is going to throw her on the side of the road like all these other nut jobs are doing to kids.
Is that letter real? If I were on “Team Casey” I would be mortified to have people like this sending a letter to the judge. It really made me sad for the person writing the letter- my first grader can spell better than that. This person must have been very deprived in life- I just don’t know- I can’t even make fun of him. It is just way too sad.
