Woke up to rain and I figured, okay, I am just going to spend the morning watching the end of the trial and then get on with my day. Like the jury in the Casey Anthony murder trial who figured they would be home by the 4th of July, we were all wrong.
Coverage started at 8:30 this morning with the lawyers and judge discussing the wording on the instructions for the jury. Jeff Ashton was clean, sharp and precise and most importantly, did not bore anyone. He finished relatively fast, only about 77 minutes.
Then came Baez. He reminded the jury that there was no cause of death, only speculation. He seemed to take forever to get on a roll and as I was falling asleep sitting up (not like me) he began to pick at the Anthony's.
The truth is that neither George or Cindy tells the truth and that was proved on the stand. George did dance around answers purposely giving Baez a hard time. In all fairness, wouldn't you if you had been accused of molesting your daughter and then setting her up for a crime?
So maybe George Anthony did have an affair. Big deal. Many men do. Cindy Anthony took the blame for doing those computer searches knowing that it was the prosecution's "proof" of pre-meditation.
Does anyone else besides me wonder how fair it was for George, Cindy and Lee Anthony to be in the courtroom all this time watching others testify knowing that they would also be called to the stand???
Nothing like being prepared. Okay, back to today.
As I said, just when Jose was getting on a roll and waking me (and everyone else) up, Jeff Ashton was visibly laughing behind his hand. Jose seeing this made a comment towards him which caused the judge to order both men to sidebar and excused the jury.
After a period of time, both returned to the courtroom and it just reminded me of two boys who got caught doing something they knew was wrong.
BOTH of them were extremely unprofessional and this is just unbelievable. You could sense the judge's frustration (seen it many times in this trial) and he threatened that any more behavior like this and the offender will be out of the courtroom. RIDICULOUS! Both Baez and Ashton showed a complete and total lack of control. Un-real. This is justice?
Jose Baez returned to his long-winded assault on George Anthony, insisting that he was not accusing George of murder but he was accusing him of disposing of the body. At one point when discussing the lack of forensics in the case he did seem to admit that a body had been in Casey's trunk.
I hate to say it but Baez did make a lot of sense with what he said. They do not know how Casey killed Caylee. There is no proof of how she died.
The photo of Caylee opening the sliding door which had no child safety lock and the photos of her climbing into the pool are telling. The fact that Cindy might have left that pool ladder up and Caylee could have had access is totally believable.
What still is unbelievable to me is the idea that George Anthony is such a monster that he would turn an accident into a frame for murder pinning the "crime" on his daughter. For what? Because Cindy would have been crushed and angry at both of them for allowing this accident to happen???
Would a father allow his daughter to sit in jail and possibly face death because he is afraid of his wife's reaction to an accident????
I get that this family is sick and dysfunctional. George Anthony is a man of few words and although Cindy seemed to be more concerned about Caylee's whereabouts than we heard he was, does that make him guilty of something????
The problem with the prosecution's case (okay one of the problems) is the child abuse charge. No one got up on that stand and said anything that would lead anyone to believe that Casey was anything but good to Caylee. Where is the abuse?
Yes, she acted totally inappropriately during the 31 days that no one saw Caylee. Does that make her a murderer? She could have snapped after Caylee accidentally died.
Someone searched for "chloroform". Where is the proof that Casey made or used chloroform?
There was no cause of death for Caylee which some see as a huge problem. There was not a cause of death for Lacey Peterson either.
There was motive though. The motive that Casey wanted to party is not that good of a motive. She took Caylee with her when she was dating Ricardo Morales and even allowed Caylee to sleep in the same bed that she shared with him.
She never tried to hide Caylee from her last boyfriend Tony. She did complain to friends about not being able to go out because she did not have someone to watch Caylee. Why did she suddenly choose to kill Caylee?
There had been discussion about neighbors hearing an argument between Casey and Cindy the night of Father's Day after the last video of Caylee had been taken. There were rumors that Cindy wanted to get custody of Caylee. Where was this in the trial? Wouldn't it have been relevent?
Why did the meter reader call 911 so many times before he got the police to investigate?
How did Cindy's investigators know the exact area where to look for Caylee's remains?
As this trial comes to a close there are still too many unanswered questions. I wonder if the jury feels the same.
