yeah - true enough -
I’m confused about the pet cemetery. Did the defense say that the Anthonys buried pets in the area where Caylee’s body was found? Or that it was common practice for people in the neighborhood to bury pets in those woods – not just the Anthonys?
I think the defense was trying to imply that the disposal of Caylee’s body was inline with what George/family have done with thier deceased pets - bagged, ducttaped, etc.
Did George duct tape the dog’s mouth shut before he would put it in the bag?
Interesting (to me): A doctor I work with may testify today, though Baez says a toxicologist is not qualified to speak regarding the matter found in the skull.
That’s to keep the potential zombie dog from successfully eating anybody’s brains.
So Casey was worried that Caylee’s body might be reanimated and seek her out for killing her?
That’s interesting to me too. Would he be testifying about the “brain dust” that Dr. Spitz talked about?
The Gentiva guy is testifying now, and apparently the records show that Cindy was at work, on her computer, at the time she said she was home. (His testimony should be a lesson to anyone who thinks that Delete means Gone.)
For anyone who’s interested, you can see all non-exempt (ie., medical records) written filings in the case here.
No, zombies don’t discriminate.
Whooo! Go Bruce!
The testimony from the Genevia IT guy showed that Cindy lied. No surprise there.
The prosecution needed a simple chart showing Cindy’s computer activity at the times/dates when the chloroform searches were done. That’s only a hour or so time frame.
I got lost trying to follow the times the witness read from the Excel report. I suspect the jury did too. Although, I did get the impression there was account activity when she claimed to be at home.
I think the time stamps testified to by the IT guy show that she was at work making entries into the database at the times Cindy said she was at home searching for chlorophyll/chloroform. The manager lady testified that Cindy could not log on to the database from home. I think everyone believed that Cindy wasn’t honest when she testified that she was “possibly” at home searching for chlorophyll and getting redirected to chloroform. I doubt this surprises the jury much.
But now they have a legal reason to dismiss Cindy Anthony’s perjury.
Haven’t heard much from susanann lately in this thread.
Cindy was also a key prosecution witness. There’s a risk the jury may not trust any of her testimony.
I’m not sure it was wise to thoroughly discredit Cindy. The prosecution totally destroyed her today.
The evidence portion of the trial is over. Closing arguments will be Sunday at 9AM. What a way to spend a holiday weekend.
It seems likely any conviction will be appealed.
I’ve noticed Cheney Mason has mentioned that duct tape “photo shopped” vid in all his motions to stop the trial. He just brought it up again after the prosecution rebuttal ended.
That one bad decision by the judge may cost Florida the expense of a retrial. It’s a shame because that stupid duct tape video added almost nothing to the prosecutions case. It wasn’t worth risking the verdict in appeal.
I have to agree that duct tape thing was pure fantasy. There’s no way anyone can know if it was on that child’s mouth & nose. That skull had been floating in water for months.
Yes, I think Casey is guilty. But, I’d bet there will be another retrial in a couple years.
Jeebus, Cindy had to know this would happen. It was a risky lie to tell. She has a lawyer. The lawyer would have warned her that the prosecution could disprove her story. But she went ahead anyway.
If I was on the jury, I’d wonder why – whether it was an attempt to help Casey, or a passive-aggressive way to hurt her. Sorta like George, when he said he didn’t believe “back then” that Casey was responsible for Caylee’s death. And George leaving no message for Casey in his suicide note – just a blank space after her name.
