    Blink, please help me get this straight. After reading the “George/Chloroform” article again, you’re intimating the Chloroform belonged to him due to him using it with his sexcapdes, correct? What I’m not fully understanding is, why you’re also intimating George used/poured Chloroform in the car trunk, or, are you saying he used that in hopes that it would cover the decomposition smell in the trunk when he cleaned it after recovering it from the tow yard?

    If you are, then it fairly makes the Chloroform a non-issue for the actual murder of Caylee, used by Casey.

    Re-reading your article on the duct tape (your “O” theory), you’re also not attributing that to Casey’s use as the murder weapon.

    One by one, Casey is being omitted by you as the vicious perp for a few of these items, so I’m wondering what your stance is for the heart sticker? Do you believe it was ever applied to the duct tape by Casey, or maybe I should say, do you *still* believe it was?

    I personally do not believe that chloroform was used to sedate or kill Caylee Anthony, at any time.

    I theorize it is possible it was used as some sort of frame up or clean up.

    Yes, I believe the heart sticker was applied to the duct tape, and I believe it was applied wrt to the “O” theory, from which, the kidnapping excuse was born.

    There is not one scintilla of evidence Caylee Anthony was an abused child prior to this murder and I think it behooves us to keep that in mind when we process information about what happened to her.

    In Casey’s mind, she convinced herself that what happened to her daughter, was not done by her, but by whatever means they intend to present to a jury. It is also one of the reasons if this does go to trial, she will never testify.

    Even though I sincerely believe Casey is a classic narcissist, I think she would do whatever Baez told her to do. He has become the “fixer”. She has always had a fixer. Somebody that would go make a stink at school even tho kc didn’t do the work, somebody that would confront the mom that didn’t invite her to the party, somebody that backed up the ridiculous stories. That somebody paid all her spending sprees, her child’s clothing,and food, somebody that was willing to end a marriage if her “mistruths’ were acknowledged.

    He has filled her head with his own delusions of grandeur regarding his legal prowess. He has isolated her, no one really has access to give alternate thoughts on the track of her case. Maybe she doesn’t want them but that is solely because he has convinced her that he is brilliant and the rest of the world is dumb and out to get her. He will save her from being “killed”.

    IMO she will plead only if Baez feels he’s gotten a sufficient amount of fame and face time or he knows he can’t win. He’s working in his own narcissistic alternate reality, this is the big one and until he’s ready to wave adios and watch his rising hispanic star, she’ll be sitting there picking, eye pokin and grooming.

    Caylee may not have been physically abused, but I can’t help but think she was terribly abused emotionally and mentally by her mother. A child the age of Caylee needs SO much attention, and Casey had other things on her mind when she had Caylee with her. There is no way she could have been chatting and texting every second of the day and all the while attending to a clinging, needy, almost three year old. I know this because I have my three year old grandson 4 days a week. He is good, but very demanding most of the time, and there is no way I can do anything I want to do for a good part of my day. I am always engaging him in something or he does his “attention getting” tactics. Caylee would have to have been very neglected, and put in another state of consciousness in order for Casey to carry on the way she did. I remember when this case first came to light, I was reading the layout of her text messages and cell phone calls. I thought right away that it was so excessive that there is no way Caylee was with Casey most of the time. But then when it came out that Casey wasn’t even working, and spent many hours a day hiding out – pretending to be working, and Caylee was with her, I said there in no way she was dealing with Caylee in a normal mother-daughter way. There was NO nurturing, no mothering, no one-on-one mommy and baby time, no play dates, no life for a child. Caylee was so low on Casey’s priority list that there had to have been a lot of neglect. For me that is abuse and I think the abuse escalated for Caylee until finally, the ultimate abuse took her life. The same way that a person’s drug addictions can escalate to bigger and badder drugs, or a person’s crimes can escalate over time to bigger and badder crimes, so too can abuse escalate until it takes the life of a victim. So maybe no one saw any physical marks on Caylee that she had been physically abused, but she was certainly being abused in other ways that don’t necessarily leave a mark on the outside. Poor, poor child.

    This was being discussed on another blog. Many were arguing that Anthony’s had. Or at least had access to the money. Wanted to know your thoughts.

  14. Bees Knees says:

    I also believe the heart sticker was on the tape, but I agree with the state on the murder weapon being the duct tape. I just can’t believe that Casey could drive around inhaling her decomposing daughter for days but at the same time be so offended that her daughter’s mouth was gaping open she would take the time to place three strips of duct tape to it. And why would she cover the nose, too? I’m also wondering how she would connect the Nanny who loved Caylee so much to the kidnapper that used tape on her face to silence her? This doesn’t make sense. Although we’re talking about Casey, so . . . .

    I think Caylee was placed inside the garbage bag fairly quickly and the gaping mouth wouldn’t be visible to Casey. The reason I think she put Caylee in the bags early on is because at some point (I’m thinking sooner, not later, due to the heat) it would have been too messy to move her unless she WAS contained in something like the bag.

  15. Randie says:

    Blink,

    “Definitely not” Meaning you don’t agree with the statement?

    or

    “Definitely not” Meaning you feel Anthony’s have not had personal benefit?

    Dont agree, and I am on record saying so vehemently for nearly 2 years.

    Sal,

    Thanks for the Dominic Casey/Tennis conclusion doc. Interesting that it was faxed and received by the court clerk on May 7th because this is on the heels of the May 5th civil trial hearing which ended in a joint continuance motion for that case. Tennis didn’t file her conclusion until after May 5th at which point, it seems, she was free to say she’d concluded her work for the PI.

    I wonder if the deposition and negotiations, included something for the civil case and DC as witness and that’s why jointly the lawyers asked for a continuance?

    This is what I believe, and it is probably under seal.

  18. Kleat says:

    Here is the Florida statute with it’s aggravating factors list and also the mitigating factors that the defense is allowed to use to counter the aggravating factors in the penalty phase. The news reports I’ve seen have discussed what the state can argue in the penalty phase and what they “may” argue at trial as per Jeff Ashton’s listed factors, but the reports don’t include the mitigating factors as per the statute.

    http://www.leg.state.fl.us/STATUTES/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0921/Sec141.HTM

    The mitigating factors list includes:

    (a) The defendant has no significant history of prior criminal activity.

    (b) The capital felony was committed while the defendant was under the influence of extreme mental or emotional disturbance.

    (f) The capacity of the defendant to appreciate the criminality of his or her conduct or to conform his or her conduct to the requirements of law was substantially impaired.

    (g) The age of the defendant at the time of the crime.

    (h) The existence of any other factors in the defendant’s background that would mitigate against imposition of the death penalty.

    (d) The defendant was an accomplice in the capital felony committed by another person and his or her participation was relatively minor.

    (e) The defendant acted under extreme duress or under the substantial domination of another person.

  19. Ragdoll says:

    Chica, of course I’ll continue to pray for you and your family. If you need additional spiritual guidance (hope this is ok with Blink), go to Beliefnet.com. It supports all denominations. There’s forums, and link to direct you to online support, ask for prayers, etc. There’s a wealth of resources and support.

    I also suggest you look into seeking guidance through your local church or community outreach program. You need as much support as you can get in a group setting or one on one. It’s a very healing environment to be around others who understand and are non judgemental. A bereavement group would also be a good place to start! That kind of counseling is far more effective than any online contacts. You need to be around people who care about you. You need to talk and be encouraged to allow yourself to grieve and be angry. Baby steps but it’s progressive and it does get better.

    I hope you don’t mind the unsolicited advice. I’ve personally experienced this kind of support and it was a God send! I made great friends, had new people I could talk to in person. The support continued even after the group sessions. You’re never left out in the cold to go it alone.

    I will be praying for you my friend! I hope this helps even a little xo.

    So we’ve learned by Mr. Ashton there was never a plea deal aka ‘the phantom plea’. What are the consequences the defense/Casey may face b/c of Casey’s lie on the affidavit? Mr. Ashton clearly must have known that statement was bogus.

    That is huge imo. What also doesn’t make sense is the defense allowing such a statement on the affidavit. Wouldn’t they have been present during a plea? WHY WHY WHY would the defense process the affidavit with this statement if they KNEW it was a lie? I would believe they’d be all over the prosecution like a cheap suit for carving a plea without prior knowledge….or am I barking up a phantom tree?

    Valhall has done an excellent job reminding us of past George, Cindy and Lee interviews and news casts. After hearing them again…..

    http://www.thehinkymeter.com/2010/05/17/theres-something-going-on-with-these-grandparents/

    1. George is asked do you blame your daughter for the situation?

    (First he stalls a second and then says he can’t throw blame on her. Then adds he blames himself and so does his wife. Then says that maybe there are things that could have been done different in the past.)

    Don’t blame Casey? They put the blame on themselves…. So George, what are thing things that happened in the past that you would change so Casey wouldn’t have done this?

    2.George is asked if the Nanny really did exist.

    (He says I DON’T KNOW. I’ve never met her.)

    3. Cindy and George is stated as saying that June 9th was miss reported and have proof of that…

    (It wasn’t miss reported by the media. George on one of those very interviews says the date of the 9th with his own mouth. No media miss reported it.)

    4. Cindy said that Casey had been wanting to do a composit scetch of ZG.

    (Where is it then???? And since Casey is such a picture taking conasure (sp) where are pictures of ZG???)

    5. Lee Anthony, recorded on a jail tape from July says: “Something, whatever is going on is going to be found out, so why not do it now and save yourself…..”

    (Lee, who claims he has to believ EVERYTHING his sister says, had TOLD her to come clean!)

    6. Cindy says in one of the videos that Casey and Caylee were on an extended trip and only asked periodically to talk to Caylee during the 31 days.

    (Really? I thought the 911 tape says “I GAVE YOU A MONTH!!!!”

    7. Cindy with her own mouth says Casey was never on ANY 911 call. She says it 3 times.

    (We know different…CINDY may have never thought the tapes would be made to the public.)

    8. Now lets talk about a special leagal term “Excited Untterance”
    Definition:

    “An excited utterance, in the law of evidence, is a statement made by a person in response to a startling or shocking event or condition. The statement must be spontaneously made by the person (the declarant) while still under the stress of excitement from the event or condition. The subject matter and content of the statement must “relate to” event or condition. The statement could be a description or explanation (as required for present sense impression), or an opinion or inference. Examples include: “Look out! We’re going to crash!” or “I think he’s crazy. He’s shooting at us!” The basis for this hearsay exception is the belief that a statement made under the stress is likely to be trustworthy and unlikely to be premeditated falsehoods. Compared to present sense impression, excited utterance is broader in scope for permitting a longer time lapse between event and statement, and a wider range of content in the statement.

    Spontaneity of the declarant is a key to admissibility. An excited utterance does not have to be made at time of the startling event, but must be made while the declarant is still in a state of surprise or shock from the incident. The declarant’s reflective powers must be stilled, meaning that, while making the statement, the declarant would not have had a chance to reflect upon the startling event, fabricate a purposefully false statement, and then say it. If the declarant is believed to have had time to reflect on the situation before making the statement, the statement would not be spontaneous and thus not an excited utterance. However, under certain circumstances, it is possible for days to have passed before the declarant fully reflects on the event, and “unstills” his or her reflective powers.”

    (Looking at Cindy’s last 911 call where she knows there has been “dead body in the*&^% car!” is a key “Excited Statement”.

    And as we all know she has now had TIME to purposefully make fase statements.)

    dont know how the anthonys can live with themselves! they have disrespected caylee and any kind of justice for her has been hindered by these lunatic grandparents. sad sad sad.

  24. Kleat says:

    Ragdoll, there was a plea deal offered for limited immunity and that would be what Casey was referring to in her affidavit, re: Jeff Ashton being mad because she wouldn’t take a plea for something she didn’t do.

    There was been no plea offered since the body was discovered, the prior refused plea, was to encourage Casey to reveal where the body was, should Caylee’s death have been an accident of some sort or something went wrong and she panicked, Casey could have had limited immunity if the accident scenario was supported when the body was recovered– she would have had to explain what happened in some detail. Casey knew she couldn’t claim ‘accident’ when the duct tape was covering the baby’s airways, unless she did it according to the 0 theory, and in that case, she would have been so much better off to explain the accident and what she did and why.

    Unless it was not an accident, and she knew if she used the tape to kill the child or to make sure the child didn’t wake up, or to express her anger and rage by triple taping and triple bagging even after the child died, the accident theory would be hard to do, she had to hope the body would be found only when enough evidence had degraded, but for any of the carefully planted surrounding evidence to point to another motive and perhaps another person or persons.

    There was no plea offered once the body was found, the early plea was to help find and recover the child IIRC.

  25. Kleat says:

    Today’s Judge Perry deadline– the defense must, by end of day, submit to the court, it’s schedule for deposing the prosecution witnesses.

  26. Kleat says:

    The kidnapping of Caylee Marie Anthony was recorded on a memory card by Homeland Security. It is this recording that will clear Casey Marie Anthony of all charges. This video recording will prove that Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez does exist and that she kidnapped Caylee on July 2, 2008 and violated the Mann Act at precisely 6:28 p.m.

    Thank you for clearing that up Kleat. Now I’m more confused. Why would Mr. Ashton refer to the plea as a ‘phantom’. Was the defense suggesting a plea was offered AFTER Caylee was found?

  29. Kleat says:

    And more news, Blink. No doubt you’ve heard the witness list and depo stuff, an interesting bit is the revelation of who the out-of-state witness hold-outs are, I was guessing it was Kronk related, and in part that was right, with Crystal and Brandon Sparks holding off the state via their lawyers, but more interesting is WHY Laura (the yellow letter girl ??) Buchanan holding out? What is she worried about– hmmmm??!

    (btw Blink, if you didn’t catch the yellow letter reference, it’s a letter posted in Casey’s room on a frame of photos, from a ‘Laura’ to Casey in support of her and against the outside of house protestors, and she wrote to Casey because she had the very very very same birthdate, maybe a year apart (have to refresh on that), but wow, and identical handwriting too!! Was Casey thinking of someone named Laura who was in contact with the family by that time?? another ‘hmmm’.)

    I think Miss Buchanan has misrepresented herself on a few occasions and one would assume that will not be a pleasant exchange with LE.

    Yes, re “OFFICER” (BS… that is not being rude, it’s just a ‘Blink Snark’) Buchanan.

    Guess who is on the defense list of deponents– my first guess is Yuri Melich’s wife! What will they ask her about– what about any spousal priv with investigators– IIRC, Yuri Melich (I think that’s who was speaking on an interview tape with George) talked about his wife understanding the hours of an investigator as she (IIRC) worked homicide herself, so knows first hand. It was in a chatty moment with George as he was being buddy buddy with his cop collegues. Samara Melich, OSCO, is to be deposed before the end of May. Will she be asked about her husband’s comments to her, at home or office and is there any priv? IE, about topics that may be of interest to the dirt and dust raising defense, such as her hubby’s internet habits of going on blogs and talking about cases etc? What personal feelings YM had about Casey and the direction of the case and when?

    Kathleen Ramsey, Hidden Oaks also is listed– about the screaming ‘help’ child, why unless the defense is hoping to make advances in the direction that Caylee was the child screaming ‘help’ in those swampy woods on that particular date.

    Who is Michael Sigman, UCF?

    I’m perplexed. I’m reading all over the net that the A’s have Trademarked Caylee’s name or the foundation name. The foundation website shows that Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation Inc. is a registered trademark with the USPTO. (There is a Racol symbol, ® following the foundation name) I have searched the TESS six ways to Sunday looking for the application or the trademark or the person who holds the trademark. Nothing is coming up.

    Granted, the TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System) is daunting to say the least and I may not be conducting the proper search.

    Have you, or any of the Team, found verification of a trademark?

    If there is no trademark registered with the USTPO, then they are using the Racol symbol, fraudulently. (ha ha ha, gasp! not the Anthony’s, pillars of the community that they are…)

    Why doesn’t the media go after it?

    Hornsby also thinks that the money made off the victim, was the last straw, pushing the prosecutors into the death penalty, not because of the ridiculous ‘bankrupt the defense’ notion, it’s because that was one more thing that pushed them into the dp decision because it shows again, just how diabolical Casey Anthony is.

    UNQUOTE

    Kleat, Mr. Hornsby nailed it, imo. Hopefully, the state can prove Casey’s wicked sense of thinking was the primary cause of Caylee’s death (a planned murder). I also believe the 31 days, obstructing by misleading and lying to detectives, the spending spree with stolen funds (from a friend no less), a non existent nanny that no one in Casey’s circle has EVER met, and the partying, AND duct tape over Caylee’s mouth will help reveal Casey’s state of mind. No Caylee. No worries. I don’t know if these things mean Caylee’s death was planned by Casey. A few things are very certain, imo. She did lie, cheat and steal (Casey’s words). She also failed to search or even try to look for Caylee. Why look for someone who isn’t lost? No sense of urgency. No maternal outburts or breakdowns for her missing baby girl.

    I, like so many others, am dying to see how the state will use this evidence to it’s highest power. I would love to know what evidence everyone thinks will seal Casey’s fate and will it send her to her grave?

    Hope everyone’s having a great morning/afternoon xo

    #36 Heidi and Sue

    I too agree! I’ve never gotten into texting or ‘surfin the net’ until my son started school. There was no time! It’s difficult enough raising a child with 2 parents, but as a single mother? Single parents have my upmost respect. We know Casey had help from her parents and some friends BUT Casey had to go it on her own at many points. I also wanna add…..what employer would EVER tolerate non compliance or non related chit chat on work hours? For the amount of communication exchanged between Casey et al via texting, im’s and emails, there’s no way she was working (I know that observation has been made before by many, but it hasn’t lost it’s value to me. That, and there is no way she could afford a nanny. Not that weasel of a mutha). That’s it….I’ve done enraged myself again just thinking about it! It’s 5 o clock somewhere. Anyhoo…..

    One thing I do believe…..Casey knew how to stage herself as a good mother in front of everyone, including her own family. It’s how she handled Caylee when no one else was around that mortifies me. We’ve all witnessed Casey’s temper when she’s not getting her needs met OR when she’s not being heard (the infamous phone call from da penn). Can you imagine what a needy, clingy child would do to Casey? I personally wouldn’t discount verbal or physical abuse against Caylee. Who knew what went on when no one was watching. I don’t wanna even go down that road.

    You said that “There is not one scintilla of evidence Caylee Anthony was an abused child prior to this murder and I think it behooves us to keep that in mind when we process information about what happened to her.”

    Florida Department of Children and Families
    Conducted an investigation at the Anthony home Aug. 25, 2008. The closed case report showed “verified findings of inadequate supervision and threatened harm.”

    (‘http://www.cfnews13.com/Features/CaseyAnthony/KeyPlayers/Officials.aspx )

    That is relative to the fact that she was missing at the time- that is the only finding of fact they could have.
    They did not know where she was so I would say inadequate supervision is a given.

    Believe me, I am not sticking up for her, but I think the facts of the case are what they are.

    I’ve never felt that Caylee was physically abused but there was a very troubled looking expression on her face in the days leading up to her murder. Does anyone else see this or am I being overly dramatic? I really notice it in the visit with Grandpa P. The little cherub looks so troubled, or frightened maybe. Kleat, are you tempted to think she was abused?

    And I keep thinking about that duct tape on her mouth. I don’t want to argue, so please don’t think that. I have much respect for your opinions and when I disagree I really struggle with it. In my mind’s eye the duct tape stretched across her mouth would not look a whole lot better than an open mouth. In fact, in my imagination, the tape actually looks worse. And there would not be any reason to use three strips. I’ve got a three year old niece and I can see that one strip would more than cover her opened mouth. ‘K ~ I rest my “O” case.

    Ragdoll, I don’t think we’ve seen the evidence that’s going to convict her yet. But if I was going to choose from what we know now I’d say the 31 days and her behaviour following them.

    Apparently Mr. Baez just hates that people are questioning anything about money. I really do think “he protests too much” This is from the 4:00 news on WESH.

    On the 4 p.m. news, WESH anchor Martha Sugalski read Baez’s critique: “Your story really showed your bias. There are thousands of transcripts ordered every day across the state and to do a story on it is pretty transparent.”

    Sugalski added that the station’s report focused on the Anthony team’s first request for services at taxpayer expense and that transcripts can cost hundreds of dollars apiece.

    The WESH story was another indication of how closely stations will cover the Anthony case. She is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

    Funny, whenever someone gets close to the money situation Mr. Baez gets very frustrated. I read on one of the other blogs last week and for the life of me cannont find the article, but it was about Mr. Baez and his career. What jumped out at me was that he apparently owned two bikini companies through a group that was home based in the Cayman Islands. Mmmmm….just saying

    If Annie had given 1 pill or more to Casey for any reason, and whether Annie knew it or not and Casey used the pill for Caylee, would Annie be in any trouble at all for sharing a prescription medication to an adult? What I’m saying is, that is there a serious reason for Annie to lie to protect herself, re: any shared pills regardless of the use, or kmowledge of the use of the medication on a child?

    (that was re: the Zanex issue)

    I see by your question marks that there may be some doubt about registering a persons name. A name can be Trademarked. But it is associated with commerce. Distinguishing your goods or services in the market place.

    Think Orville Redenbacher. His name is a registered Trademark and distinguishes his product from all others selling the same type of product.

    Now for 100 thousand dollar question: what goods or services are the A’s SELLING?

    The Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation Inc. IS a registered non-profit foundation. The IRS doesn’t offer a Racol symbol for registering as a non-profit. Also, I have yet to see a determinable logo or mark associated with the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation Inc. that would allow them to receive a registration with the USPTO.

    This seems to indicate one more “FAIL” for the A’s in their quest for legitimacy as do gooder’s and noble members of society.

    Nice front for a laundromat though!

    Jose B is really trying to push the bias jury BS because the trial was not moved to Miami or one of the other locations he selected. This is evident by his statement made regarding WESH’s story revealing the costs of transcripts.

    Jose Baez: “Your story really showed your bias.”

    Who isn’t showing bias when it comes to KC. 31 days, tattoos, hot body contest, lies, lies, lies and a criminal fraud spending spree with her BFF’s money to buy beer, bras, and brats.

    It is going to take forever to select a jury because Jose will never agree to any of the candidates just to make it difficult because he did not get to move the trial to Miami.

    Kleat – I’m not sure but I believe that Zanax is a class 2 or 3 medication, similar to Darvon. Allowing ANYONE to have even a single pill of your prescription could get you in a mess of trouble. It is also a Federal offense. So, yes, no matter why Annie thought it would be a good idea, i.e. Casey liked to party with Zanax, or Casey was so “stressed” that she needed it to help her anxiety. Annie would face federal charges for giving Casey any of her prescription. That is a core reason that I wouldn’t believe Annie’s story, over others who said they “heard” that Annie had given Casey some of her prescription.

    Pamela & Kleat:

    Zanax is a highly additive medication. I do not know why doctors continue to prescribe it when there are other medications. For those who do not know, Zanax is used for anxiety & will definately calm a person, BUT…..if a person is bi-polar, it will cause hyper-activity and can cause a person to do things that they would never do.

    I should actually say that it COULD cause.
