In typical narcissistic, entitled, spoiled brat fashion, Casey's attitude seemed to be, "I don't want her (Caylee) but I don't want her to want anyone (Cindy) more than me".

Okay, thanks, that makes sense, I didn't even think of that. I was a little worried about the grandma, but now that you explained this, it fits.

I don't understand. It was reported Cindy threatened to take custody away from Casey because she did not think the child was adequately cared for, but yet on the stand Cindy testified she thought Casey was a loving mother.

I don't see those as mutually exclusive. Look at the examples on YT, people say the "love" the dogs, and I'm sure that they do, but that doesn't mean that the dogs are adequately cared for. I guess a loving mother is different than a "good" mother.

I was wondering how the two could coexist. That makes sense.

The initial hearings were pro bono, but after the attorneys started dropping out, Baez petitioned the court to set an amount that the state would pay the murderer's defense team (state funded). I don't remember the amount, but it was a large sum.

Yes, I have since seen that the state is paying the defense team...unbelievable! Adds insult to injury.

I think love means that you put someone else's needs above your own, but for many, it just a "feeling."

That's what my mother has/continues to do everyday of her life. I don't understand any other kind but that kind of love.

It must be really difficult to be a part of a legal system where everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty...this is one of those times where if I was a defense attorney I'd turn in my letter of resignation

I'm happy that the prosecution played Casey's phone call from jail - I hope it gave the jury a peek into Casey's head. (the one where she didn't ask about Caylee - only wanted her boyfriend's phone#)

cj125 · 05-31-2011, 05:12 PM

I wonder if they'll ever bring up that Casey didn't want the baby in the beginning. She had even spoke of letting a friend adopt the baby - it was Cindy who said "no".

It appears that 'who's paying casey anthony's defense team' is private info, but here's an article where Baez (her attorney) was getting ready to petition the court.

Could State Help Pay For Anthony's Defense? - Orlando News Story - WESH Orlando

since she was indeed, declared indigent,and I remember baez did petition the state, I can only assume we tax payers are footing the murderer's bill.

Casey is very good about crying (or pretending to) on cue for the benefit of the jury. Notice when the jury is out of the room, she is caught smiling and chatting at times. Even today...after such an emotional testimony from her mother.

I have followed this case closely and have watched or read just about everything relevant that is available. In this trial, she is seen sitting there, looking bereft and lost and sad and down. All an act, in my opinion. In the other courtroom scenes before this actual trial she sits there writing like crazy, acting as if she is an attorney herself...whispering to the attorneys. At those times she sat up straight and smirked or laughed and joked. A totally different Caysee.

Disgusting.

Never heard that one.

I watched today and then studied the previous days news on the web. I think it has been proved that Casey is a BIG liar. I only hope that most of the stuff that the defense is presenting is not true. I'm not sure how it could be. Especially the pool part. If the child did drown, why the duck tape? Is there evidence to support a drowning or just the ladder and open gate? Also...trying to place the timing of borrowing the shovel. How long would the body have been in the car before the day the shovel was borrowed? When did the coroner place the day and time of death? Things don't add up in my head yet on the timing of everything.

I keep praying that Casey will break down and actually tell the truth. The real truth. Take some responsibility....Oh well, I can dream, can't I?

Here's a link to the documents that have been filed. I couldn't find my bookmark for the beginning of this case - but they're there. If anyone has the time to find them - please post. It'll have docs from day one! It'll will have all the police reports and signed statements from all of these people.
