Click Below Banner For Podcast
LISTEN TONIGHT LIVE AT 9 PM ET TO DANA PRETZER ON SCARED MONKEYS RADIO
Dana welcomes special guests:
- Crime blogger Blink from Blink on Crime will be discussing the shocking jury verdict of “not guilty” in the murder trial of Casey Anthony. In a head spinning decision, the jury in Orlando, FL took 10 hours of deliberations and came back with a “not guilty” verdict which begs the questions, is it “reasonable” that a jury could have watched the same trial everyone else did and let the tot mom skate on all major accounts … where is the Justice for Caylee? Blink will add her analysis and insight as to what occurred.
Pat Brown - Criminal profiler will be discussing the murder trial of Casey Anthony and yesterdays shocking verdict. Pat will provide her expert opinion as to Casey Anthony. The jury found her not guilty, but if not Casey, then who? What will Pat’s reaction be to Casey Anthony skating on all major charges. How did Casey Anthony walk?
Tim Miller – the founder of Texas Eqqusearch (TES) joins Dana to discuss his reaction to the Casey Anthony verdict, was it much different from the wild goose chase and runaround that TES received when conducted the searches for Caylee Anthony.

Blink,
Your sources are probably correct. I’m in the place of giving it all you got, right now. Respectfully, there are people who don’t want to take this ‘baggage’ on. It is possible despite the diversions and heart felt advice that says otherwise.
A mustard seed is all it takes.
Bones, Buckle Up!

I couldn’t read by now all comments so i don’t know for now how you Blinkers think about the fact of Jury being treatened, loosing their job and so on. I find this goes too far. Violence is not an option and not an intelligent answer to this mess.:(
I can’t help but to think of OJ Simpson and Joran van der Sloot; convicted in the media, convicted by the public…but never convicted in the court of law. Eventually their sociopath personality…caught up to them. We all know what happened to these two. Joran is in one of the worse and most violent prisons in the world and OJ will most likely be in jail for the rest of his healthy living life.
What kind of life can Casey have outside of prison walls? According to her attorney, Mr. Mason, she will never have a relationship with her parents again. Their relationship has been burned to the ground. Today’s ABC’s morning show ran a story about how the offers to pay Casey are drying up. She’ll have no money, no where to go. What kind of life will she have? She is officially the most hated woman in this country. Two out of three Americans think she killed her beautiful child. There is no way her life will ever be ‘Bella Vita’, it will be more like ‘Infierno la Tierra’ (Hell on Earth). You have to but wonder, maybe justice has been served. It will all catch up to her in the end.

in regards to the child trafficking report. So help me, if that’s true, and with Casey’s lovely personality and history, it is completely plausible. Why in this country we have a tendancy to “seal” or alter truth and throw everything in the gray area is beyond nauseating and reprehensible. If there is evidence that this occurred, then my hope of the state and their reasoning of not mentioning this in the trial is exactly that, they plan on filing these separate charges. I am still perplexed on how the wannabe perry mason jury couldn’t corralate at least child neglect. Neglecting Caylee for 31 days,(however it would’ve been longer if not for Cindy’s one moment of truth in this whole excursion), would seem as almost plain as day as the forging checks from Amy’s account.
In a linking phase today . . . following different twitters, too.

No Blink. You, my friend, are THAT FORCE!!!! You’ve stumbled. You’ve fallen…but you have ALWAYS RISEN. Rise and walk. It sounds easy, doesn’t it? I know for a fact that it’s the most difficult piece of action to take.
You knew your heart. You listened. You started a blog. You found faithful posters who could see your heart, your cause, and understand where you were/are coming from. We know we haven’t all agreed on everything but we’ve always come back ‘home’ to where it all began…finding the truth.
I ask that you look at the movement you’ve perpetuated!!!!! I am who I’m becoming (a very slow, glacial paced process…but…) because of you! Your courage, your tenacious offense and defense, your committment to family, values, traditions, respect for your elders….who and where you came from…have pushed me off my chair. You have no idea what a miracle that is!!!!!! I’ve been praying steadfastly for 30 years to be taken away from the pain. I’ve been stunted for so long because I was brainwashed to believe…my opinion never mattered. You gave me a place to speak it…even if it was a piece that never belonged in the picture. Clearly, someone valued you so much so, they encouraged you to speak up…because…it will make a difference to someone, somewhere.
I am sobbing right now because I fear you will never understand how you…and so many kindred spirits on BOC have touched my life. It has has been spent on self hatred, feeling ugly, believing I have no purpose. These thoughts have been with me from my earliest memory (as a baby, if you can believe). Unfortunately, these thoughts also became safe. It’s been easier to believe in them than something better. I have never been able to trust that it’s possible I’m wrong about myself. As for the great loves of my life…who am I to mother this great soul? I do not deserve him. I do not deserve the unconditional love and support my husband has given me. (Not to mention he is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome.) Especially during the time he had to be both a mother and father for the first 2 years of Ethan’s life, while working full time. I didn’t want to breathe…not even for him or my son. The guilt and shame I carry is becoming scar tissue. No therapy in the world will take that away. It will keep me humble.
…but…you provoked me enough to ask questions, think about alternatives…maybe something good can come out of something really really bad. Maybe…just maybe…I still have a chance of doing something meaningful..even if it’s just in my own home.
I know I’ve taken more than my fair share of space on your site B. I apologize for that. I’m feeling…inspired. I’m also learning that an action, for the greater good, has a huge ripple effect. My Christian mentor has been coming to my house to help me. My anxiety has imprisoned me. She see’s something in me. I don’t know what, but when I’ve given up, she has come back with the force of an F5 tornado…the finger of God…to say….NO! You can give up, but I won’t. She’s helping me to understand that being true to myself is not just about me…it’s a ripple effect. (I am coming to a point…promise.) One day, I called her before she was to leave to come to my house. I was emotionally spent. I was talked out. Nothing left to say…it hasn’t changed a thing. Thank goodness she got my message before she left. She called me back and said…thank you. Thank you for owning your needs, even if you feel it will be met with a…’oh here she goes again…to cancel’. She told me her car wouldn’t start. She couldnt have come here if she wanted to. It saved her from having to deal with an on the spot, itty bitty, crisis. Not a big deal it would seem…but to her, it was a gift. There was no rush to get her car fixed. There was no need for her to feel like she was disappointing me by not coming. All because, I was true to my need at that time. We just don’t know how our actions, as long as they’re well intended, can help others directly or indirectly. What a huge lesson for me. It doesn’t always have to be about….me! What a relief!!!!!
Blink, you are the truth seeker I speak of. I’ve seen you take unfair hits. You’re human, not a super hero….but make no mistake…you’ve lead many on an untraveled path. We didn’t know where we were going, but we knew it would be an unforgettable journey.
I’m indebted to you, Blinkness, with so much love.
I am fortunate to know you Ms. Ragdoll, as we all are. What a wise and kind woman you are. This of course, was not news to me, but today I honor you.
B
Ragdoll – thank you for being you! I am honoured to be your ‘friendy’.
Loni &Solange….. I am scrathing my head too cause I can’t figure out how the animals could drag the torso with the spinal bones in one piece and the hip bone so far away with those shorts on. I did not see a hole in the bottom of them only on the front. The shorts really didn’t look as deteriorated as the shirt was. I think the ME mentioned something about the shorts too. If they had been their as long as the body was.
I covered this extensively early on, this baby was NOT wearing these shorts when she was dumped in this swamp, imo.
Not possible.
B
Just love this . . .

The miserable postscript for a Casey Anthony juror
http://fieldnotes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/07/10/7055601-the-miserable-postscript-for-a-casey-anthony-juror
————–
Wow. Juror #12 quit her job (retired early), left Florida and went into hiding after the verdict because she fears “half her co-workers from Publix want her head on a platter”. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, seriously. Part of me feels vindicated and yet another part of me feels bad. I know how angry I have been over the last week after the verdict was read, hearing what the few jurors who came forward had to say and believing without a doubt that something seemed to go astray behind closed doors but at the same time, it seems the injustice to more than just little Caylee will continue WRT this case.
Injustice or karma? I don’t know. All I can say is, the destruction of the Anthony family is far-reaching and obviously continues. I am still peeved over the verdict as well as everyone else. I believe the jurors had agendas of their own making while sitting for 6 wks and didn’t follow the court’s directions when they were instructed. That aside though, I think the runaway Anthony train to hell appears to still be chugging away quite strongly taking anyone and everyone along in it’s path. The better part of me though is starting to believe that if we allow it to continue, we are no better than the Anthony’s who have their granddaughter’s blood on their hands.
I don’t even know what to think anymore. Maybe I need to really step back for awhile.

So Baez claims Caylee drowned….who is he saying put the baby in the swamp…
Hey y’all, it’s me again. I don’t mean to be a buttinsky. BTW Blink and Klaasend thanks for the chuckle above.
To the jurors:
Re: whether or not a murder had even taken place (FTLOG). There was DUCT TAPE placed over Caylee’s mouth and nose. The proof: The mandible (jawbone) was still attached to the skull and shouldn’t have been by that time, proof that the tape had HELD THE JAWBONE IN PLACE. It only takes one piece of duct tape to go over the mouth. One of the other two was OVER THE NOSE.
I also know that chloroform was used. Proof: Chloroform found in the trunk. I loved what Bill O’Reilly asked Geraldo: Do YOU have Chloroform in YOUR trunk? I mean really, if they checked every car in the US of A, how many would test positive for CHLOROFORM? A mere 3 months earlier, Casey Anthony googled the words “HOW TO MAKE CHLOROFORM” on the family’s desktop. Now really, how many of us in the course of our day to day activities google that? Come ON!
I KNOW that there was a decomposing body in the trunk of the car. PROOF: The hair with the band that ONLY shows up from a decomposing body. That could have only been CAYLEE’s hair because of the length and the fact that it had not been processed. MORE PROOF: Everyone said it smelled like a dead body. EVEN GEORGE AND CINDY.
All that is not even taking into account the 31 days of lying – like one of the jury said (pp) “she didn’t *start* lying when this happened – she had always lied”. RIGHT you numskull. So WHY IN THE HE!! WOULD SHE BE TELLING THE TRUTH NOW ABOUT AN *ACCIDENT*?! Her mother was PROVEN ON THE STAND TO BE LYING. Why would she need to lie unless she KNEW FOR A FACT HER DAUGHTER WAS GUILTY AND WAS ABOUT TO GET THE DEATH PENALTY?
I agree so much with all of you — the decision of the jury would be much easier to take if they had taken more than ELEVEN SHORT HOURS to find out the truth! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I also liked New’s post above about jury statistics — I’m telling you the jury consultant for the defense knew exactly what he was doing. Get the dumbest ones you can. Either that, or as many others have surmised — some silver crossed some palms!
I’m sorry y’all – I wasn’t in here with the rest of you day in and day out, but that really makes it worse for me — because I saw the same evidence the jury did. I’m not a PhD but I know (as George said on the stand) 1+1=2.
But I also believe that this is not over. There will be justice for this little girl. It has not come through the courts yet, but it WILL COME. I would never condone violence against anyone. I sincerely hope no one will take matters into their own hands. I just believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Casey Anthony will pay for the murder of her daughter.
I think it’s hilarious that her lawyers now are really her “family”. They probably have no idea what they have unleashed on themselves. Cheney (Foghorn Leghorn) Mason will have to sleep with one eye open if he ever decides to let Casey stay at his house. Wonder if Baez will let Casey play with his child? DOUBT IT.
Thanks for letting me vent. Stay strong Blinksters.
Hi Blink and Friends,
I am still not reading or watching anything to do with Casey Anthony or anyone on her jury. I am no longer angry instead I am taking action by refusing to give her and her crew my attention. We have to stop supporting the Casey Anthony gravy train. The attention should be given to Caylee and other missing and severly neglected children in our country. Blink, we need a new article in honor of those stolen and missing children no matter what their age. There are parents out there that love and cherish their children but have no answers. Advocates need to go where they are needed, and Casey doesn’t need us.
I have tried to see the ‘where’ most of, well the world collective mind is about ‘the verdict’.
I, like it seems most, are having trouble just finding solace in sleep, it simply will not find me, just fits and starts … which I feel others are too, in the same boat …
We are ALL so fragile … and it is the fragility of life that has left us raw & exposed …
Caylee Marie is the figure head to our throbbing outcry for justice as such, we are her VOICE and the VOICE of ALL who no longer can raise their cry/voice in opposition to the wrongs against them …
That VOICE is left to each of us … IF we are willing to heard it and to pick it up & carry it forward …
Maybe “the end” we believed we would be given w/ ‘the verdict’ was actually NOT the one we wanted BUT the one we needed … because with the ‘verdict’ even MORE people have taken up the CRY …
More people EYES have been opened to WHAT is going on around them … People are NOT just asking questions but DEMANDING ANSWERS …
Remember the saying “Fool me once, shame on you … fool me twice, shame on ME ??”
In part, isn’t that what this ‘verdict’ has exposed ??
ICA [w/the help of her DT & the jury] has FOOLED us ONCE … the QUESTION IS are we gonna be “FOOLED” by the next Casey Anthony ??
Are we gonna “settle” for a week or two of ‘anger’ w/the ‘verdict’ -and then go back to “living a life w/blinders on, waiting until another innocent is taken??”
There IS STRENGTH in NUMBERS … yes, we are fragile but together we blend into a STRENGTH collectively that is unstoppable in its pursuit of justice, of righting wrongs, exposing those who would rather scurry in the darken corners & gutters of society …
For those who do their bidding & seek the darkness are no match for those who strive for justice & stand in the light …
I firmly believe what the Honorable Jeff Ashton said, though he wishes people would NOT go to the jail for ICA release …
IF they do, he advises them to TURN THEIR BACK ON HER & DO NOT NOTICE/ACKNOWLEDGE HER …
IMO SHUN HER & THE REST OF THE ANTHONY’s … For people who THRIVE on ATTENTION, this would be the ultimate … SOCIETY NEEDS TO STOPS GIVING THEIR ATTENTION TO THESE PEOPLE … be it in person contact, interviews, books, movies … STOP ASKING OF THEM … THEY SIMPLY DO NOT MATTER …
IMO we all were, collectively, holding our breath … their were all sorts of sign posts … ICA arrest … release … arrest … release … finally murder charge … and than the finding of Caylee Marie’s remains .. and through 3-yrs we have held are breath … and in one swoop … what little air was left, was sucked out with the reading of not guilty … not guilty … not guilty …
I am ready to exhale … because the longer I continue to hold my breath, the longer I remain “hostage” to “the people of the lie’ — they control my VOICE … and I REFUSE to let them control another second of my time/my breath/MY VOICE …
I wish each grace and the lightness of being …
CELEBRATE the LIFE OF CAYLEE MARIE .. CELEBRATE CAYLEE MARIE … SHE LIVES …
IN ALL WHO REMEMBER HER … SHE LIVES
Hey Florida, guess what? More of your hard earned tax money will be spent on Casey, even after she is released.
Jail managers said that when Casey is released, there will be heavy security handled by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the jail’s special response SWAT team.
Seriously, the SWAT team can’t follow her around forever. What’s next? Is the State going to pay for a 24 hour body guard service too?
The Jurors identities have NOT been released. So the juror who is in hiding is doing so because she doesn’t want criticism at work. Her employer could have had an employee meeting to say anyone who spoke about the case would be terminated. Her husband had to have called the media to complain. Don’t be surprised if that juror files and recieves disability. She’s doesn’t yet qualify for Social Security and Disability payments are often higher. I will not be shedding tears for this or any other juror.
Ragdoll my friend, you have such a big heart and you are so geniune!
I think we are all searching for the truth and Blink, our fearless leader is holding the map.
“Because of Casey’s “celebrity” status, there is talk she’d be better off in New York City or Los Angeles, where notorious behavior is sometimes expected.”
http://www.wftv.com/news/28514674/detail.html
P.S. Mason has denied rumors that he and his wife will take Casey in. Geesh, even her own attorney if freaked out by her. Tells you something…
He recalls the evidence incorrectly……….
Ok, cant anyone ever point out to them when they are wrong in their recall? Like, “no you nimrod, that is incorrect!”
The lesson is to be the change you want to see in the world. The only thing we control in life, is ourselves.
I am disappointed that the jury made the decision it did. However, it is done and regardless of how unhappy and disgruntled we are with the verdict, we cannot change the outcome due to double jeopardy.
I can only speak for myself but I am going to do my best to move on from this point. It is not mentally healthy for me to continue to dwell on this matter. It does not lessen the impact a beautiful child named Caylee had on my life.
However, I refuse to give Casey and her surviving family more of my time, my energy, my attention, or my focus. I refuse to continue to be part of the collateral damage caused by Casey Marie Anthony.
It’s not just our money that’s in danger of being taken from us if we continue this path. Staying stuck on this negativity, this bitterness, this “unfairness” of it all will alter our view of our world and its people. Dare we let it fester until we begin to see only selfishness and self-centeredness in everyone?
That campfire song about only taking a spark to get a fire going can just as easily be applied to negative thinking. It spreads its evil until we no longer have expectations of right conquering wrong…good overcoming evil.
It’s often been said throughout the last few years that this case damaged everyone who was involved in it. I pray we all have the courage to pull away from it before we become jaded, pessimistic people. Grieve it and then let it go because bitterness will not harm anyone but the one who harbors it.
stupid me i watched the greta interview. can’t believe the jury foreman repeatedly said everything about the duct tape, decomp in car and chloroform was speculation. i took from his words the jury quickly dismissed the evidence as speculation. THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY THEY DELIBERATED OVER WHETHER GEORGE ANTHONY had anything to do with the murder and cover up. what a piece of work…..they are instructed to deliberate whether casey committed these acts, instead, they deliberate daddy-o. can’t take it.
There is not one TH that thinks CA is innocent. And not one that can regurgitate the evidence as it was presented. I know, II was not supposed to watch, but I am n the I need answers phase. I need to know what was in their mind, and now I know despite his 400 pages of notes, he didn’t review them during deliberation. I sure hope they are reading the discovery to see how off they were.

Has anyone stopped to think that Baez and Mason could be behind all the threats. I believe they want all the hype they can get, Baez has wanted to be in the news and so has Cheney Mason. Just watch Cheney Mason on his tv appearances on the talk shows. He is full of hatred towards people. As far as Casey goes they are the one that have promoted her on tv so they have helped create theh situation.

Now THIS I will tune into! Just not sure what time NC will be held.
I had the good fortune to be “side tracked” over the last several days which did give me some time to reflect. Many here now seem to be asking, “now what?” in various forms. It struck me today as I reentered the daily grind that I am feeling much as I did following the terrorist attacks on our great nation – sad, depressed, confused and full of questions and disbelief.
I finally had to take a serious break from the coverage. Turn on some music and sing hysterically loud and horribly so that you can laugh at yourself. I promise that the laughter does a body good.
I have come to many conclusions over the last several days. While justice may not have been served in the courtroom this time, it will be through a number of venues. The Anthonys are toast by their own un-doing. A sweet, beautiful child has united not just a nation, but in many cases, nations of peoples. Caylee has not died in vain. In fact, she has humanized many people all over the world. It is beautiful to see the raw emotion of humanity at work on behalf of a two year old child. Caylee may not have known, but she has a voice that speaks louder in death than anything she could have preached from the rooftops in life. Her hand in the hand of God, she will emerge victorious and He WILL avenge her death. It may not be in our time, but His will be done.
I lost my very best friend and first love immediately after high school graduation and this (below) hit my memory bank today as a reminder of where I was way back then and where we are now. Rest easy, sweet Caylee. You are loved and cherished much more than you may ever know.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
All those who have passed before us are not yet gone. They infiltrate our daily lives with the lessons, advice, examples they set, the love they inspired and the desperation of the hole in our hearts of the missing and gone-too-soon.
I don’t believe Caylee is gone too soon. Her life served to break a familial cycle of dark and degrading secrets. She broke the cycle, served her purpose and will eternally live in peace and love.
I love my Blink family. I may have only started posting recently but been a long time lurker where I feel like I know all. Goodnight my dear friends. Take a little break and enjoy the happiness around you. Blink, thank you so much for the opportunity to provide to us to be among friends, shameless, raw and vulnerable while facing the injustices this world has to share with us all.
C.J.: Defense Attorney Jose Baez
* Updated: July 11, 2011 – 8:53 PM
A one-question interview with attorney Jose Baez about the Casey Anthony verdict.
http://www.startribune.com/video/125362838.html
I realize this is now nothing more than residual…but in the photo where Caylee is sitting in the great grandfather’s lap there is an obvious place on her head, near her bangs, that looks like hair has been pulled out. Also, in a few pictures she has obvious dark circles under her eyes and in several the look in her eyes is on e of consternation, fear, or worry. A look that a 3 year old should not have. Pretty clothes, lots of toys and miriad photos do not make Casey a good mother. I am so tired of hearing how good of a mother Casey was…I believe there is evidence to the contrary.
Both jurors that I have heard interviewed do not sound like they have even average intelligence. They sound like they observed a totally different trial. But they both said that they did not believe George Anthony. They appeared to have taken Baez’s opening statement and run with it. Certainly part of the judges’ instructions included informing them that the opening statements MUST NOT be considered evidence. I believed George until he obviously lied about the affair. I also do not believe that George was the last to see Caylee. Since he lied so boldly about the affair I now am positive that he lied about saying goodbye to Caylee and Casey and having breakfast with them on the 16th….didn’t happen. So, I guess i can see the jury doubting him as well. kinda like Bill Clinton isn’t it? The affair that changed the world…so many terrible repercussions….my question is…will George be charged? He should at least be requestioned….it would stop some of the frenzy if the public gets some answers.

Ditto ragdoll! You are among friends here. God Bless You.
Very strange. I googled articles regarding the Scamthony’s at Florida resort. They had to flee because of the attention they were drawing.
Every single article written about this has been removed (even in the UK).
Are they being protected now?
Simon & Schuster claims they have NOT offered Creature Anthony a book deal. They’ve made a statement on their facebook page, however, Cindy was not included in that statement.
What are the chances this whole family will be shunned?
Ragdoll…thank you for putting the huge emotions of so many into words…
Ok last post & I will quit hogging the band with. This is wrt the bobkeeling tweet.
Now they’re ready to talk about what they discovered along the way, which put them on the stand during Anthony’s trial.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings plans to speak briefly Tuesday afternoon about the investigation before turning it over to some of the key witnesses in this case.

This jury will go down in history as one who failed to do their job.
For a jury foreman to make a statement as has been quoted about them thinking she was guilty and not being able to understand their duty is beyond comprehension.
Casey is free or soon will be to try and live a life. She will be a pariah.
I know George did not really see caSey and CaYLEE LEAVE, BUT WHERE WAS HE? WAS HE EVEN LIVING AT THE HOUSE AT THE TIME?
John Allen is on vacation with his family if that is true it was not planned.

” The jury foreman in the Casey Anthony trial — who asked not to be identified — says many of the jurors believe Casey Anthony killed her daughter Caylee.
But because the prosecution never showed how it happened, they were — by the letter of the law — forced to rule for acquittal on all murder charges. ”

WPG: Is it just me, or do some of the jurors who have spoken bring to mind some of the cast of “Green Acres?” I am waiting for one of them to hypothesize that Caylee was abducted by aliens, then discarded.
IMO, no one on that jury was psychologically-minded enough to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff, if you will, when it came to gauging the credibility of each witness, especially GA. Thanks to JB, jurors seemed to focus their ire on GA as if it were HE who was on trial, not CA. They seemingly failed to take into account that being labeled a child rapist might make someone a pretty hostile witness. As an example of GA’s “non-credibility”, the foreman mentioned that GA smelled the human decomposition and didn’t immediately call LE. He just couldn’t fathom this lack of action on George’s part. When I heard that same testimony, I concluded that GA was likely in sheer denial at that point–he NEEDED to believe that smell was the garbage, NOT a decomposing Caylee or CA. But, NO. With these jurors GA’s refusal to call LE had to mean something nefarious. Maybe even murder. FTLOG.

Blink, I’ve got your buzzer necklace thingie right here. You’re safe.
But, be sure and wear it if you find yourself watching any more interviews of these jurors.
These jurors were convinced there was something potentially criminally amiss with GA. IMO, this has everything to do with many jurors’ acceptance of JB’s opening statement as evidence. Have you ever watched the HBO show “True Blood?” When the vampires want their victims to do their bidding, the vampire “glamours” the victim and the victim loses his/her ability to think or act independently for a period of time. The victim, rendered powerless, will then do the vampire’s bidding. Surely this is what happened in this case, as there is NO rational explanation of how the jury arrived at the verdicts.
Whether they were Glamoured,
Fell down the rabbit hole,
Drank the JB Kool-ade,
Couldn’t see the forest for the trees, and/or
Left their common sense behind,
It doesn’t matter. It’s all the same, and I still cannot believe that this sweet baby’s murderer will walk out of jail and start her new life soon. IMO, to CA, it is as if Caylee was a mere bump in the road.
Blink: cfnews13.com has the report about tomorrow’s press conference with the lead investigators.
I’ve been thinking about you, Blink. It’s hard to say anything more because I am still so emotional.
