Casey Found Competent: Defense's Latest Tactic Fails

Saturday's testimony did not happen because the defense filed a motion that claimed Casey was now incompetent and could no longer be a help to her defense team. The judge had 3, yes 3 court-appointed mental health professionals examine Casey on Saturday and Monday morning ruled that Casey Anthony is competent.

And so the trial continued.

Once again the s$#@ the defense tried to throw against the wall did not stick. If anything, they hurt Casey by this ridiculous motion. The examination is sealed by the court so we will not know what, if anything the professionals said about the mental state of Casey Anthony.

I am pretty sure that this is a young woman who is used to manipulating those around her and is quite aware of what the implications are for her actions. It is funny that before court started this morning she was laughing and smiling as if she hadn't a care in the world.

Today the defense tried to prove their theory that Caylee's remains had been dumped when Casey was already in jail. On the stand were two investigators, one who originally worked for Jose Baez and then was hired by the Anthony family. They were in the area where Caylee's remains were found about a month before but did not see the remains. They both testified that they had spent no more than 15 minutes looking on two separate occasions. One was "looking" and one was video-taping.

This really is not good enough proof of anything. The area that Caylee's remains were in was extremely overgrown with brush, was partially under water at one time and her skull had vegetation growing through it. I do remember the prosecution putting an expert on the stand who said that the remains had been there for longer than one month.

Again, nice try Mr. Baez but no cigar.

The defense originally was to have wrapped up their case by mid-week but because of all the delays it will go on longer.

Did I mention that they also asked for a mistrial (again)? I am sorry but I have lost count of how many times they have argued for a mistrial.

I am sure the jury just wants this to be over.

Although to many people the case points to Casey, I wonder if the jury feels the prosecution has proved their case. We should know in about 2 weeks from now. Maybe even less. I predict that the jury is not going to have to deliberate long. Although Jose Baez has tried to confuse us all and bore us terribly with long-winded experts, I think that the jury is a bit smarter.

Casey Anthony would be lucky to spend her life in jail. Could you even imagine what her life would be like if she manages to get away with murder????
