The prosecution finished up with its last witnesses today. Cindy Anthony testified to the items that were removed from the house during the police search. She was asked again about duct tape but could only recall seeing black duct tape and not the grey tape that the case seems to be hanging on. During cross examination, Jose Baez desperately tried to link the duct tape to George Anthony. I do say desperately. Cindy Anthony was the prosecution’s last witness and honestly, she seemed hesitant in her answers both to the prosecutor and to Jose Baez.
This is a woman caught in the middle.
Her daughter is on trial for her life. The defense attorney has already accused her husband of molesting her daughter and called her family dysfunctional. The defense is desperately trying to make the jury think that her husband was involved somehow in covering up the death of her beloved granddaughter.
The prosecution is trying to prove that her daughter killed her granddaughter.
It’s got to be stressful to be Cindy Anthony.
Unlike Cindy’s earlier testimony which was highly emotional, during today’s testimony Cindy seemed to be more in control and careful about her responses. Is she trying to help her daughter?
No one knows how it would be to be so torn like Cindy Anthony is. She had said that she and her husband wanted to be in the courtroom because they need to find out the truth. If Cindy Anthony is still trying to protect Casey, does this mean she still believes in Zanny the nanny???
Really?
The final witness was the tattoo artist who famously tattooed “Bella Vita” on Casey’s left shoulder on July 2nd, 2008. This was during the 31 days that Caylee hadn’t been seen. The tattoo artist said he had known Casey for about 7 years and like others, testified that Casey seemed “normal”. Whatever normal is for Casey Anthony; everyone seemed to testify that during those 31 days Casey told no one that Caylee was missing or dead.
The prosecution is expected to finish up in the morning and then rest their case. The defense will begin on Thursday and it is anyone’s guess what they will do.
Will Casey Anthony testify? In his opening statement, Jose Baez said that the jury would hear about the sexual abuse Casey endured. Could you imagine what the prosecution would do with Casey Anthony on the stand?
In my opinion, it (Casey testifying) will never happen. According to the buzz, defense attorneys often make claims in their opening statements that they never make good on. Casey’s defense made a huge mistake when they attempted to turn this case into “an accident that snowballed into a big cover-up”.
If it truly was an accident, why did Jose Baez allow his client to sit in jail for almost 3 years? Wouldn’t he have tried to get her out once he found out the “circumstances”?
Time will tell if the jury buys what the prosecution presented. I certainly don’t think any of the jurors will buy Jose Baez’/Casey Anthony’s twisted tale.
