He's pissed because they checked the work/computer records of Cindy, he says they'd had plenty of time to do that before the trial, but it was only at the trial did they know that Cindy would say the time clock type of work records aren't always accurate and Baez said they should have know someone who's salaried doesn't have to be there all the time. I honestly think Baez badgered Cindy into testifying this way. I would love to know what went on between him and the parents.

I bet the jurors already knew Cindy was lying without the prosecution proving it. On HLN they said that Cindy is known to be very controlling. They keep saying the family is very dysfunctional but who wouldnt lie if their child were facing the death penalty. Im sure they know she killed Caylee but they still dont want her put to death

Sometimes I wonder what would be easier on the Anthony family.

I think the only person I feel sorry for in this family is George Anthony. I don't know how I feel about Cindy?

I truly believe most mothers try to do the best with their kids, I don't see Cindy as any worse than most mothers. When I was in school, there was quite a bit of evidence to suggest psychopaths were missing a physical part of the brain that we call a conscience. (I don’t know what the research says now.) They don’t' have lots of psychopath’s brains to dissect, but those people who had been serial murders and felt no guilt were part of the studies. My professor was convinced that these people would have turned out this way, no matter who raised them; wouldn’t we all behave differently if we never felt guilty? Anyway, my point is Cindy doesn’t seem that different than most mothers and I don’t believe they raised Casey to be a self-serving liar, I think she was born that way.

The night Cindy called 911 to report Casey stealing a car and money shows that she was willing to be tough on Casey, how many people call the police on their kids? Everyone says they would have made Casey tell them the truth, how do you do that? So yes, I feel so sorry for Cindy, she’s probably saying to herself all the time, if I had done this or hadn’t have done that, things would have been different. I’m sure George and Cindy have even blamed each other at times, “If you hadn’t been so tough, and if you hadn’t been so lenient.” If you have ever seen Casey talking to people, she can be so charming, articulate, and engaging, and if we didn’t know she was a pathological liar who’s willing to throw anyone under a bus to save herself, we would think her parents have done a wonderful job.

I always felt bad for Cindy, until I heard/read what she did on the witness stand. I do agree that psychopaths are born and not made. Not to the same degree, but how else can you explain siblings having such divergent personalities even if they are raised similarly? Either way, you are right in thinking about how much Cindy is probably blaming herself...I wonder if her testimony was a reflection of her feeling guilty that it might be her fault that Casey is where she is today?

I lost respect the day she got on the stand and told those stories about the chloroform searches. I believe there is a line you simply do not cross. Call me hard, I suppose so. I just know that no matter how much guilt I might have it would not make me do that. It spoke volumes to me about Cindy.

It not like I have any respect for the family except as human beings, so I can’t lose any; I just don’t know them that well, however, I believe they’re doing better than I would under the circumstances. I’m not sure you can say, what you would do, if you were in someone else’s shoes. If Baez is battering you and saying, “Do you want your daughter to die; she’s going to be put to death if you don’t admit that it’s possible you did those searches.” All Cindy did was admit it was possible, so they really can’t get her for perjury. I think when they initially contacted her and asked her the questions, she may have lied because she really did believe Casey to be innocent, and a big hurdle for her to overcome was the fact that the police weren’t interested in looking for anyone else. This was extremely frustrating for her, and I think they were doing everything possible to try to convince the police they needed to concentrate on finding the kidnappers so that they could save Caylee. Cindy just had not had enough time to process that Casey could be a cold blooded killer.

I’m certainly NOT saying it’s ever right to lie under oath, I’m just saying I can understand it when you are trying to protect your child, but then I think the jurors will understand that too, and not take too seriously what Cindy says.

I agree but also we are a society of liars. Presidents lie under oath, politicians lie, people lie to save face everyday. So do I think any less of someone who does it under oath when its the state of our society no

Guys, I just CANNOT wrap my brain around the possibility that this could have been premeditated! I just can't....and I am starting to cry at the thought of it. I have told myself that this was a horrible accident that was at the hands of Casey. But I'm tellin' ya....I am having a hard time listening to the fact that she looked up other things like: neck breaking, household weapons, how to rupture a spleen. I was albe to dismiss these things in my mind until I saw them with my own eyes. The people discussing the case during the breaks showed the actual searches on the tv screen.

I will never be able to metally grasp that she may have done this on purpose.

OMG....the expert just said that there was an actual Google search for, "neck breaking", not a popup like Cindy had previously stated. There were no searches for bamboo or chlorophyll like Cindy said.

I was starting to believe that Casey would not get the death penalty, but I'm not so sure any longer.

She wont get the death penalty shes young and pretty and the jurors just wont give it to her. I would be really amazed if they did and I do think she deserves it but it just wont happen

We each have our own thoughts on this. What I can say is that that I would not be on the stand lying for my son. We have no proof that Baez badgered her into saying it.....although I have a feeling that accusation will come if Casey is found guilty.
The entire trial has been a circus ...well, what part I have seen of it. I really have not followed it all that closely because it totally nauseates me; and because I have felt she was guilty from day one. I certainly would never have been a juror. I am totally unable to look at her as innocent until proven guilty. I hate saying that but it is how I feel.

I agree, Cindy made a mistake the other day, by saying it was possible the work records were incorrect, that allowed the state to do a much more through check, without first presenting it to defense. So much more is coming out now than what originally came out, and it’s looking like premeditated murder to me now.

I feel that she should be punished...I hope you didn't think that I was saying otherwise. I am just struggling with believing that a mommy would do this. My heart hurts just at the thought of it. I didn't even know Caylee and yet, I have cried for days now and have done nothing but wish this all away. I can only imagine the pain for her grandparents.

I guess I stopped looking at Casey as a "mommy" a long time ago :(

I live within an hour ( a little more now) of the crime scene.....so I'm a bit biased ( NOT BAEZed!!)

People maim and kill children every single day...this case is nothing shocking except for the fact that Casey had so many believing it was something else for so long.

I just read two cases this week in TX that just blew my mind. One little boy was choked and thrown out of his father's car along a desolate highway. He survived but was bruised and had over 500 cactus spines in his body. Another case is a mother who was arrested for watching her boyfriend beat the daylights out of her infant son, breaking his legs, arms and ribs...and she did nothing. :(

Evil just evil.

I have to disagree with your statement saying that this case is not shocking. I find it EXTREMELY so....no matter how bad the world may seem, I will never be desensitized by a violent crime, especially one that involves children. A parent is suppose to protect and love their babies so, yes, I find this extra shocking.

I stand corrected. What I meant to say is that it is no less shocking than what goes on every single day in this country. People do awful things to children. :(
I have said over and over how disgusting this case is and how awful I feel for that poor baby girl. :(

I so agree with you....absolutely disgusting and it beyond breaks my heart! I will NEVER understand it!!

I agree with you that its shocking and its hard to get a grip on what was her motive for doing it

No one will ever understand it. Incomprehensible. :(

George Anthony said that his daughter was "always living on the edge," I wonder what he meant by that?

I suspect Casey wanted her child to sleep so she could spend time with boyfriends. Her mother gave her $300 a week for babysitters, but Casey used this to live, and she couldn’t afford a babysitter. She took Caylee to some boyfriends homes for overnights where they all shared a bed, but other boyfriends didn’t seem that happy when Casey brought Caylee and some even called her child “your offspring”. She pleaded with one boyfriend to come to her home and spend the night, but he didn’t want to and wanted her to come to his home. I think Casey had been giving Caylee medication to help her sleep for some time, and needed to make it stronger over time. One guy even said that the only time he saw Casey discipline Caylee was when she was trying to make her sleep, so this was a problem for her. I suspect Casey told her boyfriend that Caylee was with a babysitter and in reality Caylee was in the trunk of the car with maybe just one piece of duct tape so that she couldn’t make noise. Perhaps Casey overslept and Caylee died when the morning sun baked the car, Casey couldn’t tell anyone, even as an accident, it’s extreme neglect, so she put another piece of tape on her mouth with the heart shaped sticker. Caylee’s body was decomposing fast, and I think Casey stole money from grandma and others at this time so that she could leave town. The car was found at a check cashing place wasn’t it? Anyway, I think Casey was planning to leave town the night her mom called 911. It’s not that unusal for hookers to leave their kids in the trunk of the car, but they don’t spend the night with the guy. I believe this is where Caylee died. I’ve suspected some of the computer searches may have been contemplating her parents deaths, I think she wanted them dead.

I guess my only question about this is why not just leave Caylee with her grandparents and simply not answer any phone calls? I guess she did it so she could collect the babysitting money and make it look like she was taking care of her?

I don't think she wanted her mom and dad to know how much she was going out. I think she was dating three different guys at the same time, not sure her parents would have approved of all the overnights, plus, she was suppose to be working during the day. I think the parents did take care of Caylee many weekend nights, it was during the week when she had a problem. I believe Tony Lazzaro knows much more than he's saying.


Anybody else have any theories?

I think they did the competency hearing to cover their butts no matter the side that asked for it.

I wouldn't have believed anything if she testified as she's lied about so many things you wouldn't know when she's truthful. I do think she should have testified to make any attempt to seem sympathetic to the jury. I think when the prosecutor hammered the date/enquirer story teller that she became even more frightened of what the prosecution would do to her. I was actually surprised that she didn't @ least try to redeem herself w/so much @ stake. <-----I wrote steak first! :yelrotflm

He probably wanted his fifteen minutes.
