Caylee/Casey Anthony Trial: Judge Calls The Defense Liars And The Prosecution Resurrects The Fumblerooski
Blink Discussing Anthony Case Updates on Dana Pretzer Show LIVE at 9 PM.
Listen Here Live
Orlando, FL- Judge Perry calls the defense team Liars- Not a good sign. Yesterday, during Chief Judge Perry’s announcement to the jury about the tentative schedule for the remainder of the murder trial against Casey Anthony, defense counsel Cheney Mason objected and asked for a sidebar.
Mason: We don’t have any obligation to put on any evidence at all. and you just told the jurors you expect us to be putting on evidence, and we may or we may not.
Mason went on to request that the Judge instruct the jury that they are not obligated to put on a defense, and claimed Jeff Ashton agreed with him.
Chief Judge Perry: Then Y’all lied to me.
Mason:NO. Chief Judge Perry: “Yes the Hell you did…” If you don’t put on any evidence, then I will do that.
Mason: Well, we are, so don’t worry about it.
Chief Judge Perry: ..” I will take I cannot trust one thing your side says, anymore.
Heh? I would like to give the benefit of the doubt to his honor, as I did not believe a word this defense had to say going into this trial, let alone 3 weeks later. The State, after establishing what they believe is the origin of the disappearing heart residue on the duct tape came from stickers in the drawer with Caylee’s birth announcements, and re-calling Cindy Anthony for a little light impeachment is headed to the finish line tomorrow.
*Insert defense’s motion for mistrial late today* Denied.
To those of you, and there are many, screaming from the hilltops.. “Is that all you got?” “OMG, is this girl gonna walk?” “What about Dr. Hall?” “How the Hell is Dominick Casey getting out of testifying?” I say chillax. This prosecution team is simply resurrecting the F U M B L E R O O S K I.
The State of Florida, has ALWAYS known this case is going to verdict on THE LAST WORD from the prosecution, or the rebuttal portion of the trial.
Given the defense’s opening statement, there is no question in my mind, nor should there be in yours, that the ludicrous allegations made on the first day, cannot possibly be brought to bear, and while the prosecutions case in chief was meticulous, it is not the “barn burner” for a reason.
Linda Drane Burdick is going to leave that ball on the field for a spell. Ashton will surreptitiously pick it up and head to the end zone unchallenged.
After all, that play did originate at the Orange Bowl.

Dangit, I hope you are right. I wondered, but don’t know enough about the rules of rebuttal.
But the nonsense above had given me another thought. What if the state doesn’t get to the FUMBLEROOSKI play? What if, after the prosecution rests, the defense decides NOT to put on any evidence? Has the prosecution put out enough so far for 1st degree?
The only sports analogy I can come up with is letting the clock run out when you are losing, just to avoid an even bigger spread. Not a winning maneuver, but . . . this is the JB team, after all.
Please tell me this is a crazy thought.
They have already committed to it, keep the faith.

Blink, your football analogy is spot on.
And the video – - – brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Cheering from the stands here . . . WAY TO GO BLINK!
LOL, thanks friend.
B
What a strategy!
It takes a liar to defend a liar
Mason was smeared all over the floor by Dr G and he has not recovered from it. He is completely defeated with his tail between his legs and getting pissy about it. He should have never got involved with this ridiculous misfit. Hang out with Casey Anthony and she will bring you down no matter who you are.
Just wondering what is up with teddy? Was he ever retrieved or located and what was the reason for asking Cindy that Question? Will that come up later????
It will come up later.
B
Wonderful analogy! I sure hope its as simple and easy as your theory! I can just envision Jeff Ashton on the breakaway run down the field now. Haha.
Hey, Dr. Hall has a pass on the field– for now.
Catching the show late, came in a few minutes ago. So can’t read and listen at the same time.
I have a question nagging, and what was LDB’s play while Cindy was on the stand talking about the KidFinder’s tents and the poster and the duct tape. LDB asked ‘do you recognize who this is?” Circling in blue, a fuzzy image of a man in a red and white sport shirt and a ball cap. Baez’s reaction was ‘are you going to enter this into evidence?’ He didn’t object, he just spoke up– and LDB said ‘at the appropriate time’, then Baez backpeddled by speaking out again to say ‘just wanted you to know (like that’s why he interrupted the proceedings!) that we wouldn’t have a problem with you entering it into evidence.
Was that Lee? Afterall, Lee was accused in the Grand Opening also, just a new Casey version of what happened– or what didn’t.
Who else wears ball shirts and caps….
So we have some new initials for MR. Baez as J”M”B to include the nickname of Mistrial.
I have to agree with your assesment Blink, that the prosecution is sitting there waiting to get the ball into the end zone before the defense can figure out where it is.
Good job as usual, including Danna’s Wendy OOPS which was funny.
So Cindy needs a fashion consultant. This woman has never ever known how to dress herself. She is just plain Cindy the nurse and mom without any frills.
How to win points with the judge should be the title of the sidebar this afternoon.
The conversation of George at the jail with Casey about the problem he had to clear up with the judge is interesting. We have testimony from Cindy that Casey was three when they moved to Florida.
Did George do something to loose his peace officers license in a time frame that Casey would remember? And if he did, what could it be?
Lol, I presume we will know next week what had George in a pickle.
Among other things.
B
Blink, you always have me hmmmming.
Just was looking at female inmates on death row, or formally there.
http://www.dc.state.fl.us/oth/deathrow/women.html
I’m keeping the faith. Juror #4 hopefully will recognize that applying the law does not mean standing in judgement.
Whole different ballgame. Different caps, too.
So, Blink, it was the teddy bear blocking the pipe in the wee hours of July 1st?
The only other reason I can think of for the teddy bear to come up again is that the State witheld a piece of evidence from the crime scene?
You said you’d tell us about the plumbing problem after Jg. Perry’s ruling back in week 2. Did I miss it?
After the JOA or Directed Verdict argument, the State will rest. I don’t see the Defense using the teddy bear, so it wont come in as rebuttal……
OK. The teddy in the toilet will be used to demonstrate motive and malice: that Casey was so spiteful that, not only did she kill Caylee to teach Cindy a lesson, she even took the teddy from her, too.?
Dang it, Blink, can you just say Hot or Cold at least?
that was supposed to be a frown! NOT a smile!
teddy, george in a pickle, mystery person at command center, this WILL be interesting, BRAVO Blink! this defense has been a joke to me since forever and i trust whole heartedly in the State, and again like you… they know alot about a lot of things, they’re ready – wonder if baez will see it coming, (smiling broadly) Thanks!!!

Interesting. It seems most women on this list were resentenced to life. There is a woman who was convicted of the torture murder of her 3 year old son. It says her sentence was vacated.
I’m hoping it’s only because she didn’t do it. >:
myers said “Just wondering what is up with teddy? Was he ever retrieved or located and what was the reason for asking Cindy that Question? Will that come up later????”
I’m wondering if the plumbing emergency was pieces of Teddy flushed? After all, the “Spiteful B!tch” deliberately snuck back to Hopespring Drive to take him away from Cindy, who had texted her that she had taken to sleeping with him in Caylee’s absence. The Inmate did not want her to have Caylee, and therefore did not want her to have Teddy.
I hope the prosecution somehow gets to highlight that hurting Cindy in the worst ways possible was part, if not most of The Inmate’s motive. What better way than to off Caylee (whom Cindy loved the most) and as icing on the cake, over the last months, make up a cockamamie story about George to “pile on” to Cindy’s pain? And bonus – got to free herself up for her “Bella Vita”.
I believe her hate for Cindy is what set this whole premeditated plan in motion. The computer searches happened just days after Cindy closed her BOA account after finding out that The Inmate overdrew it again and again. Caylee became collateral the same night, or the day after Cindy confronted her over stealing from her grandparent’s account (even though Cindy committed to that lie in her depo, and therefore cannot tell the truth now about the huge fight overheard by neighbors the evening of Father’s Day).
Stack that on top of Tony not wanting Caylee to stay over, and Cindy not willing to watch her and let The Inmate stay out all night, and The Inmate not able to go to Puerto Rico with her friends because no way would Cindy agree to let her run out on her responsibility to Caylee and you have a house of cards as motive – cumulative.
If I’m on the jury, I’d need a little bit more than “she wanted to party”. However I trust the prosecution as well as a Higher Power to take care of things.
Dang, I missed the show, but I’ll catch it in the podcast.
Looking at the case as presented; without all the hazarai I’ve read in discovery which has not been put in the trial; this is what I get:
-Caylee was found in the swamp with duct tape draped across the face of her skull and adhered to her hair.
-The trunk of the Pontiac had a decomposing body in it.
-No one but Casey is said to have driven the Pontiac after Caylee was last seen.
-Casey (and no one else) spent 30 days lying about where Caylee was.
-Dogs, two of them, smelled human decomp in the back yard and the Defense tried to make them out to be false alerters! (Bad mistake)
As a jurer that’s beyond a reasonable doubt for me. I know that a lot of the Prosecution’s evidence lacks connecting dots, but looking from a jurer perspective, that’s because there’s so MUCH evidence.
Even without a fumblerooski, I believe the prosecution has already nailed it. (I can’t get Dr G out of my mind saying to Cheney Mason; “I don’t understand.”)
And, after the Defense has made mincemeat of George Anthony, I do believe that Ashton/Burdick/George will bring a barnburner; just because they’re elegant that way. They can’t help it.
Now all we need is 11 more of you to think this way, lol. I am not comfortable that we are there yet, I am comfortable we will be.
We agree the barn burning section of the program is yet to come.

OT – I need to ammend my comment.
The women I questioned in my previous comment, Ana Maria Cardona, is back on death row. YES!
http://andreadreamin.com/2011/06/12/update-another-woman-joins-death-row/
Was Teddy so small he could be flushed? If so, I totally agree with Smartypants. Had to be Teddy. And wasn’t Cindy holding a Teddy the first day? If Teddy was what Casey flushed was Cindy showing Casey Teddy survived?
I don’t get it. The DT doesn’t have a case. What will they put on? One expert wittness the ME who will disagree with the other ME. I think the Defense will rest their case on Thursday morning. The Defense has tried to build many different senarios and finally when all else failed the went to a ridiculus opening statment involving only the family and RK. JB said we will never know in his opening statement because the State never investigated a pool drowning. I am scratching my head until Thursday. Was Mason telling the truth when we don’t have to present a case? Mason at the end of court said I will type that list up tonight. Don’t believe Mason knows how to type.
I never read defense docs. Just what is going on? Noticed media ratings blood sucker in front row on Defense side.
Just wondering if anyone else wants to bust out laughing when after Jose is done greeting the prosecution, he smiles at the jury for 20 seconds while leaning on the podium waiting for them to smile back. I would love to know if they even respond? He also makes an annoying sound(sort of a snorting sound) He needs there approval in the worst way.
If they rest George and lee are only accused of perhaps sexual abuse, Cindy doesn’t have to tell the truth, RK can or can not be viewed as a moral degenerate. Maybe the car was just used for transport like Wedny person has been blabbing without proof and JB said in his opening statement. Stutz says Casey drove jeep to his Moms house on 17th 18th or 19th stayed for an hour and half. He sorta remenbers cause they just bought an exercising machine. New science used tried to discredit Dr. Vass. One fly leg. One piece of hair with death band. They have tried to arouse reasonable doubt.
Hasn’t changed my mind about Caseys guilt, just sorta feels like this is a dirty game being played with Lady Justice.
annals~
I would add to your statement:
“-Casey (and no one else) spent 30 days lying about where Caylee was.”
-and-
[the Inmate] has CONTINUED to lie up until JB’s opening statement “… that Caylee was not missing, that she was never missing … because she drown in the family’s backyard swimming pool on June 16, 2008…”

Ragdoll…just catching up on your catching up! LOL–aren’t we always?!
New–yes, I noticed el blood sucko in attendance. Nuttin’ new there.
***Everyone says, ‘trust the Pros, they’ve got it under control’
Well, you all know me pretty well by now. I just feel uneasy about how much they’ve put out there. Okay, there will be cross examination and more clarification for the jury, but I just don’t feel they’ve offered enough convincing information.
The flavors weren’t quite layered enough for my taste. I do try to put myself in the Jurors mindset and lifestyle and experience. They are all probably used to reading news on computer, googling up stuff, reading comments to articles (if not actually blogging)–so I just don’t see that the Pros has used evidence of social media to its advantage, or utilized the news gathering style of the day to help the jurors (some of them) truly get the impact of the circumstantial evidence.
Clear as mud? Sorry…Long day!

Here’s the full transcript of the sidebar from yesterday that I posted a video link of earlier.
Mason needs to not only retire, but also needs to consult with a neurologist – b/c he’s possibly showing signs of senility. MOO
This is 2011, and Mason’s “southern good ‘ol boy” schtick isn’t working – and I think Judge Perry has reached his limit in perhaps being a bit lax with Mason’s antics.
Mason is insulting to the honorable Judge Perry and to the court.

All right ladies, some of you have a hard time with the fact that so many women who have done horrible things to children and other people are not on death row.
Most men on a jury have a very hard time with sentencing a woman to death. Society has always thought of women as care givers and it has not been able to make that change yet. It will come in due time.

Here are the three reasons I believe any probable murder conviction of Casey Anthony WILL BE reversed on appeal. (And NO, I don’t like, nor am I a fan of Geraldo Rivera, nor am I a Casey Anthony “lover” or “supporter.”
(1) Casey Anthony WAS INDEED OFFICIALLY A SUSPECT of Caylee Marie’s disappearance, when she got to the end of that hallway at Universal Studios, turned around and said, (paraphrasing) “I lied, I don’t work here.”
Casey Anthony should’ve been immediately mirandized before those OCSO detectives took her into that conference room at Universal Studios and told her “Oh, the door is only being closed for privacy.” That little verbal police manuever DOES NOT trump a U.S. Citizen’s 5th Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution against self-incrimination. They even stated during this taped interview that they believed that she knew exactly where Caylee Marie was, that the child was never missing, that there was no Zanny-the-Nanny and that the child (paraphrasing) was “probably buried somewhere or in some dumpster rotting in the elements.”
No doubt, she was not only a suspect as opposed to a “person of interest” as Detective Melich would falsely state about a week later at Casey’s initial bond hearing on July 22nd, 2008, but she was THE ONLY suspect that the OCSO had at that time and ever since. Also this Universal Studios interview Casey had with the OCSO detectives was conducted on July 16th, 2008. Casey Anthony WAS NEVER read her Miranda Rights warning till she was actually indicted by a Grand Jury on October 14th, 2008. How incredulous is that?! Unbelieveable and/or unforgivable police misconduct or blatant incompetence imo!!
I believe Casey is guilty of capital murder and should be executed for the heinous, barbaric and ruthless murder of precious, defenseless Caylee Marie, but even a monster such as Casey Anthony imo, still enjoys the full protections that any other U.S. Citizen does when it comes to talking to the police and when Miranda Rights should be advised to a suspect. Casey had every reason to believe that she WAS NOT going to be leaving that conference room at Universal Studios in anything, but hand cuffs as two of those three OCSO detectives were accusing her in loud, angry and accusatory voices that she was a complete liar and most likely responsible for the death and disposal of her “missing” child.
(2) The Prosecution showed that “Caylee-Marie-smiling-then-morphing-into-a-skull-with-duct-tape-around-the-child’s-mouth-and-nose” video to Casey’s jury while leaving Casey’s picture in that video standing next to her and smiling. This morbid video, although quite possibly a good scientific visual aid should never have included Casey, the accussed murderer of the child and the one on trial for her life, in that bizarre demonstration.
Casey’s smiling picture should’ve been cropped out before any such demonstration should’ve been allowed using that particular picture of Caylee Marie. By keeping Casey’s smiling face on that photo, while the alleged victim’s picture in this case is seen smiling in life and then slowly morphing into a dead child’s skull with duct tape wrapped tightly around the mouth and nose area, it caused this otherwise vital scientific evidence to become more inflammatory and prejudicial against Casey Anthony than it was probative to her guilt, thus rendering it reversable on appeal for the judge allowing it in the first place. In my opinion, this “skull morphing demonstration video” violated Casey’s 6th Amendment rights to a fair trial, by the way it was done and what exactly was shown on it.
(3) Lastly, the jury in this case imo, clearly disobeyed the judge’s daily admonitions, instructions and worse, even the law by apparently discussing the evidence (and now who knows what else) in this case amongst themselves, too soon before their deliberations officially began. This jury HAD TO HAVE discussed the evidence in this case, at least the heart-shaped sticker evidence, to then go to Judge Perry and request for him to re-show this piece of evidence to them.
The prosecution has not even rested its case yet, much less they have not been dismissed to begin their deliberations in this case. This is a clear violation of the basic judge-issued orders for a jury to NEVER discuss the case with anyone, even amongst themselves until the appropriate time and when appropriately instructed to do so by the judge.
Since this jury is hearing a case where BOTH SIDES have not yet been completely heard and the judge has not dismissed them to begin their deliberations yet, they must have talked about that heart-shaped sticker evidence amongst themselves first, before ever requesting to see it again. Thus we have jury misconduct by they ignoring the judge’s order and again this violates Casey Anthony’s 6th Amendment rights to a fair trial by an IMPARTIAL jury of her peers. Once again reversable error, imo.
It might take a few years, a couple of trials and do-overs and Casey will definitely be convicted in each trial, imo, but it’ll be a long, long time before she is walked down “the green mile” to Florida’s execution chamber for her final justice.
Nuff Said!!
James- thank you for an intelligent post. While I do not agree with it, I do respect the fact that it is researched and respectful in it’s dissent.
1) How could Casey possibly be a suspect of anything? There was no confirmation as to whether or not the person Casey herself was pointing a finger at, was real or not, and Casey repeatedly requested LE help in locating her daughter. She also repeatedly said that the nanny would not harm Caylee and she did not feel she was in danger, but wanted her back. For one to be a suspect, one has to have a crime attached to it, and at that point, there was no evidence there was a crime committed.
Now, had Casey made any admissions during the interview that then elevated her to a suspect status, I agree that she should have been made aware of her rights, and either invoked or waived them as is her right.
She gave permission over the phone and again in person to be taken to Universal, claiming that was her current place of employment. If anything, given the recording and testimony of the offficers, I think there actions are that of LEO that are trying to find a child by assisting her Mother. At no time, during that interview did the smell of the vehicle come in. Casey voluntarily agreed to give her phone, jump drive and computer to OCSO for the purposes of locating Zanny, who she claimed had cared for her child for years.
If Yuri, John Allen or Appy Wells ran off securing warrants the night before, after they were with Casey originally, I would agree, that did not happen until further investigation.
2) The rules of evidence do not allow the prosecution to alter a photo and present it as a true and correct photo of the deceased, and subject of the instant case. What I think the prosecution did well in this regard, is that they included an image of Casey and Caylee, in a loving photo. They were not hiding loving moments between Mother and daughter, they used the image that best matched scale. That said, again, it is a true and correct “superimposition” of how the duct tape was found, and photographed during autopsy on this victim.
3) The jury, as we refer to as a whole, is instructed that if they cannot properly view the evidence, or are having trouble seeing or hearing it, are instructed to alert a bailiff who are with them 24/7. It could have been one person, or 2, and it could simply have been, I could not see that last image, neither could I, let’s alert someone. Discussing one’s inability to see it, or to have a better understanding of it, is not discussing the merits of it as it relates to the defendant or the case for deliberation purposes.
Let’s all keep in mind, this trial is only half over, and if she is convicted, any appellate issues have to be proven to have rendered a different outcome in the case, favorable to the defendant, on it’s own.
Good Luck with that.
B
What is the reason that the previously publicized fight between Cindy and Casey on the night of the Father’s Day visit is not introduced in court? Is it because the reason for the fight was that Casey had stolen money from an account that was for her grandfathers care and that it
is not admissable in court because it is predudicial?Excluding this info changes the entire narrative. Reading the transcripts of Cindy’s mother on this site indicates that she told Cindy about the theft on Father’s Day. She left with Caylee after this incident. Did she return in the morning when George says that he last saw Caylee alive??
I think the state is expecting the defense to be drudging up those issues.

… “I wonder what the jury thinks of this attorney” Does he look creepy to them when he is standing up there (especially when he is standing next to LDB when it’s her turn to be up) like he does to me? “…
IMO JB acts like he’s in school, hasn’t prepared for an exam, is peeking over the smart girls shoulder to get the [right] answers … as well, screaming, this is mine, this is mine [taking & grasping on to podium] … you can’t have it …

( I always miss these and have to wait for it to be on podcast. Being a Mommy comes first so I am used to being on delay. I am glad you posted what you did however. I was beginning to wonder if I was watching the case from a totally skewed point of view. I keep thinking “Is anyone buying this load of poooooo” and “I wonder what the jury thinks of this attorney” Does he look creepy to them when he is standing up there (especially when he is standing next to LDB when it’s her turn to be up) like he does to me? I really didn’t have much of an opinion on him until I watched him during the trail. He just looks like he is in over his head. I worried that the jury would feel bad for her because they realize what a idiot her lawyer is. I had visions of him saying in his closing statement “Do not convict my client because I don’t know how to do my job” Now that is a defense that actually might fly if he said it in the right context.
Riverpearl- I neglected to thank you for posting the new link in the other threads, I sincerely appreciate it, as I know other readers do. I am usually just finishing here when the phone is ringing from Dana.
Thanks again.

Dr. Lillian Glass has an interesting (long) take on Cindy on the stand yesterday.
http://drlillianglassbodylanguageblog.wordpress.com/
One of the Dr’s major points is Cindy being deceptive again. Cindy said her hair in 2008 was down past her shoulders, so Glass asserts, Cindy was trying to somehow leave the impression that the one hair in the trunk with the deathbanding could be hers.
Now, we all know that Cindy had the muffin top short hairdo during the time Caylee went missing in 2008. LDB didn’t let Cindy get away with her attempts at hair dissasociation!
Dr. Glass also discusses Cindy’s crying technique, which “Surprise! Surprise!, is very like Casey’s. Wiping under the dry eyes with the tissue.
She also makes some good points about what she preceives to the the “push and pull” type of love/control Cindy exerts on Casey. And other reasons why Casey is so contemptuous of her mother.
I don’t always agree with all of Dr. Glass’s observations, but I think she hit the nail on the head this time.
Oh Crikey! I am nervous of where we are at! Like most of you, I am concerned that the whole story hasn’t been put before the Jury but I do believe that LDB/Ashton/George know what they are about and have a ‘cunning plan’ (reference Blackadder a brilliant UK series – not sure if you get it in US).
However, I am just as concerned that I am being left behind on BOC!! I really struggle with some colloquialisms but I’m sure Ragdoll or Mom will point me in the right direction. ???Fumblerooski – now if the analogy was in REAL sport ie Football I’d be there in a flash!!

Hey, Dr. Hall has a pass on the field– for now.
Catching the show late, came in a few minutes ago. So can’t read and listen at the same time.
I have a question nagging, and what was LDB’s play while Cindy was on the stand talking about the KidFinder’s tents and the poster and the duct tape. LDB asked ‘do you recognize who this is?” Circling in blue, a fuzzy image of a man in a red and white sport shirt and a ball cap. Baez’s reaction was ‘are you going to enter this into evidence?’ He didn’t object, he just spoke up– and LDB said ‘at the appropriate time’, then Baez backpeddled by speaking out again to say ‘just wanted you to know (like that’s why he interrupted the proceedings!) that we wouldn’t have a problem with you entering it into evidence.
Was that Lee? Afterall, Lee was accused in the Grand Opening also, just a new Casey version of what happened– or what didn’t.
Who else wears ball shirts and caps….
After jury left & a sidebar …
The State is making a request for the court to take “Judicial Notice” @ 22:15
So what will be the “Judicial Notice” be?
Also JP said “…I take it once the State rests the defense will be prepare to make its motion for Judgement of Acquittal”. @ 24:13 [Directed Verdict]
And — the defense will NOT start until THURSDAY.
Defense last minute “grief expert” will be deposed Saturday afternoon by State.

The many faces of Casey Newest to Oldest [slideshow]

Question: Hasn’t our “star” sociopath made it fairly clear that no one but her could possibly have killed Caylee, for all of her “I”, “I” and more “I”s obsessed with herself admissions?
“I” dropped Caylee off at Zanny’s.(The last known person to have seen Caylee alive, by her own admission. The defense has admitted there is no Zanny, besides)
“I” left Caylee on the steps with Zanny. (On the steps leading up to an apartment that had been vacant for months)
“I” returned later to pick Caylee up but no one was there, so “I” waited for a while. (See above)
“I” called Zanny but her phone was disconnected.
“I” in my state of panic and fear decided to go to a neutral place, my boyfriend’s rather than home. (And so what if we went to Blockbuster and rented movies, ate popcorn and had wild sex after?)
“I” was afraid so decided to do my own investigation. (Diligently searching where children are never, like Fusion, and never mind that there was no one threatening or demanding of ransom for her to have been so afraid of)
“I” ran out of gas and so left my car at Amscot. (Last known person to have driven the car, by her own admission)
“I” spoke to Caylee earlier today. She talked about a book and her shoes. (From her grave in the swamp? There are dozens of these)
“I” (along with Tony) broke into the shed and took the gas cans and of course before I could put the gas in my car I had to remove that piece of very rare Henkel brand duct tape my father put on the one can because it was missing the cap.
By her own admission she is the last known person to have seen Caylee alive as well as she is the last known person to have driven the car. I hope the prosecution drives that home.
Question, where is that scrap of tape Casey would have had to remove from the gas can? Did she put it back? Is it available? Were her prints on it, perhaps? Or did she replace it with a new piece? George said he did not put “that” piece of tape on the gas can, didn’t he? Was the tape in her car and removed from the car by either George or Cindy after picking it up from Johnson’s, but thinking nothing of it, neither of them mentioned finding the tape in the car, and most certainly not after the tape was connected to Caylee and her death.
Just wondering.
I love reading here! You’re all so brilliant! Thanks for allowing me to post my thoughts, Blink. You’re always so spot on!
At a glance- I thought it looked like Kronk at the command center.
[...] hearts be troubled says crime blogger Blink from Blink on Crime. Blink contends that the State is Resurrecting the “Fumblerooski” circa the 1980′s Orange Bowl and the Nebraska Corner Huskers. Just how does Joes Baez and [...]
I am glad to read your post this morning, Blink. It’s heartening to know that the prosecution has a lot up their sleeve still.
So at this point, if you were advising the defense, knowing what you know, would you advise them to simply rest their case because if they don’t put on a defense they won’t be providing the state a chance to go after their vulnerabilities? I know the defense has a lot to worry about as it is.
If I had been advising the defense, I would have advised them to NOT have waived Casey’s right to a speedy trial when she was first arrested, and advised my client to take the plea deal that was offered via an Alford Plea. She would be getting out of prison next year potentially, and likely would have been able to persuade Amy not to press charges on the economic felonies. Depending upon the structure of the plea, it may not have mattered whatsoever that Caylee was then found where and how she was.
If I were advising them prior to the start of this trial, I would have advised them that if they were going “all in” not implicate Kronk or George as it relates to Caylee’s death and disposal.
I would advise her to admit exactly what happened, based on the evidence it could never be proven she did not die in an accident, and Casey freaked and tried to cover it up by staging a kidnapping scenario.
There is no shred of evidence she abused this child prior to her death, and even those that now hate her could not bring themselves to find an example of poor mothering that would ever be construed in the legal sense as abuse.
I sincerely believe had they done that, a jury could potentially be swayed by a contrite Casey.
Here’s the problem with all of it- Her attorneys are more focused on their egos and their post trial job opportunities than they are with their clients loss of liberty options.
Imo, this would have been Cheney Mason’s strategy had he been involved in the beginning.
Again I say, he was opening that 100 year old single malt in the car on the way home the day the jail videos were played. None of this works, none of it will be supported, and it is going to piss off this jury and find Casey even more suspect.
If the dang Judge cannot trust the defense, how the Hell is a jury going to?

Ohhhhh no no no my friend! I have you fooled, but not intentionally. I am just as lost at the best of times. I keep a google window open for those hacapius corpus christi words that often creep up in comments. I’m so ‘DOY’.
We have this common, my friendy….the Canadian Courts and Judicial system is run very much like the British system! Robes (no wigs). Bowing at the bar. Lawyers cannot use the reference ‘we’….it’s ‘I’. And the drama and disrespect Baez shows in court would never be tolerated on any tier. Raisng voices is not allowed. Oh…..and no gavel!! LOL. I wonder if the States are photo radar happy like Canada (it’s almost funny when my husband lgoes through the mail and says….looks like this one is for you).
I love your comments and what you bring to BOC. Your contributions are invaluable and heart felt!
….and you could NEVER be left behind…not in my books! Big big hugs!!!!!
PS…where is our little fire cracker, chica? I miss her!!!!!
Lol at DOY.

“The State is making a request for the court to take “Judicial Notice” @ 22:15

“Also JP said “…I take it once the State rests the defense will be prepare to make its motion for Judgement of Acquittal”. @ 24:13 [Directed Verdict]”
I’m so confused. What do the two statements above mean?
Just a thought but it occurred to me while watching the evidence photos in the courtroom. Caylee’s baby doll in one photo shows the baby doll with a pink outfit on it, and in the evidence, without clothing. So could this be what clogged up the pipe?

ACK!!!!! Sorry about the double post Blink. It looked like it didn’t go through so I posted again. If it’s possible, please discard.
Thank you for your love and patience, B.
Is it likely that Jesse will testify yet?
Looks like a short day today. No jury????? The defense team has nothing. Do they really think they are going to convince JP of acquitting Casey after 3 years? The defendent purposely lied! The defense, as JP called, is lying. They have no defense….just requests for acquittals and mistrials.
WHEN Casey is convicted, is it likely that CJBP will address Casey as was done by the judge in the Ana Maria Cardona dp trial? I would PAY to see that in person.
Blink: BIG question. If they brought in George’s work records to show he was at work on the day the chloroform searches were made, why can’t they bring in records showing he was at work the day Casey claimed he hid the body for her. He said he left for work that day? Your thoughts PLEASE?

INDEED…LOL. Keeping up has never been my forte. GREAT POSTS, as always WG. I read about the Baby Lollipops case on the same site! I LOVED how the judge addressed her when she was sentenced to death….AGAIN! This is so hard to talk about.
How did I miss the previous comments? I love B’s long responses!!!!!
For what it’s worth, I am keeping the faith. I think the defense is painting themselves into a small corner. I must admit, they have had their moments where I think….uh oh. My gut says…just wait and see.
