It is a hot, summer-like day here in NJ, and to escape the heat I am in my air-conditioned home watching the Saturday testimony in the Casey Anthony trial.
Her mom Cindy took the stand this morning but right now, ex-boyfriend Tony Lazzaro is back on the stand. The judge allowed text messages that he and Casey exchanged after it became public knowledge that Caylee was missing.
In the texts Casey says she is the "most horrible person in the world" and admits she "lied to everyone" but does not know why.
She also texts Tony "if they don't find her guess who gets to spend eternity in jail?".
Aside from faithfully watching this trial and catching up on what the "experts" think by watching nightly cable shows like Nancy Grace and Issues, I also am checking out comments left by people on news reports about the trial. 99.9% of people think Casey Anthony is nothing more than a sociopath and should die a painful death.
Probably 80% think that George and Cindy Anthony created this monster Casey by overindulging her and also feel that they may have helped to protect her from prosecution (unsuccessfully of course).
Back to the text messages. Tony asks Casey directly why she never told anybody about what was going on. When he finally spoke to her on the phone his first question was "where's Caylee?". She responded "I don't know". He angrily asked her how she could not know. He said the conversation went nowhere because she kept telling him she didn't know.
Tony Lazzaro felt betrayed by Casey, angry at her for evading the questions he had and finally out of frustration just ended the phone call.
You have to feel for this guy. Casey was living a double life in a way. Casey was living with him and although he should have questioned why Caylee was no longer around, he didn't. Not that it would have changed anything or it implies that he had any responsibility in what happened but it is just strange.
Cindy Anthony's testimony was emotional. She cried when asked questions about Caylee's playhouse and cried more when she was shown pictures of Caylee's bed.
I don't know what Cindy Anthony is trying to do with her testimony. She testified that she knew about Zanny the nanny for years but had never met her. On the other hand, she talked very possessively about Caylee. She described her last day with Caylee and told the story of the two of them swimming in the family pool. Casey had come home while they were still swimming and wanted to join them.
Cindy told her no that it was time for Caylee to get out of the pool. Who's the mother? Cindy then directed Casey to go fetch a towel and help Caylee out of the pool.
Although in later testimony Cindy seemed to make a point out of saying that she was "only the grandmother" when she would relay what Casey's plans were for herself and Caylee. These were some of the "lies" Casey would tell Cindy after the 16th of June.
Cindy wanted Caylee home but insisted that she couldn't demand that Casey bring her home. I think the truth is that Cindy was overly attached to Caylee. Proof of this was that after Caylee hadn't been home for a few days Cindy began sleeping with Caylee's favorite teddy bear. That is a little weird.
One part of Cindy's testimony bothered me. Regarding babysitting Caylee, the way she explained her work hours, her husband's and Casey's alleged work hours, there always seemed to be someone to care for Caylee. Although she testified that she knew about Zanny, I remember early police questioning that she didn't seem to know that much about the mysterious nanny.
Cindy on one hand tried to paint a picture that Casey was wonderful with helping out around the house and although she didn't contribute financially; she never was asked to.
Cindy acted as if she believed everything Casey told her and never questioned if she truly had a job even though she appeared to catch Casey in many lies that said differently. With the previous testimonies of former boyfriends who all stated that Casey spent the night at their homes, sometimes with Caylee, I imagine that Cindy Anthony was not happy about her daughter spending the night away from home with her granddaughter.
Another weird thing- they live in Florida. It is hot in Florida. Cindy Anthony says she did not find out until June 30th of 2005 that Casey was pregnant. Caylee was born August 9 of 2005. How did little Casey Anthony not appear to be pregnant to her mother who was a registered nurse?
REALLY??????? Her mother said she thought she had gained some weight or it was bloating due to her period.
I don't know. Personally, I feel sorry for this jury. They are in court 6 days a week. They have to sit through long, tedious testimony and frequent sidebars.
Now they have to figure out if Casey Anthony is capable of telling the truth. Personally, I don't think so. Personally I don't believe in blaming my actions on others. A narcissistic personality does that. Was Casey so overly indulged by her parents that she became this monster that is incapable of telling the truth?
The biggest question is WHY. WHY DID SHE KILL CAYLEE? IF it truly was an accident I don't think that there would be a trial.
The defense call it an accident that snowballed out of control. Do you think this jury will believe that this totally dysfunctional family is that screwed up that they would go to lengths to hide an accident? Would a loving grandfather who is despondent over his granddaughter's accidental drowning really use her death as a way to punish his own daughter by covering it up and placing the blame on her?
No doubt that the Anthony's are screwed up but c'mon- this is just beyond bizarre.
