Once again Blogger News Network ran a radio update on the Casey Anthony case. The panel this week was Simon and Jan Barrett, author and crime writer Denny Griffin, Bail bond Agent William Cobra Staubs, and journalist Dave Knechel.
I was expecting a lively program, and I was not let down!
Unlike some programs we encourage different points of view. Just about the only aspect of this trial that we all agree on is that the Defense have a long hard road ahead of them.
Last week saw two more days of mainly dry bickering over the admissibility of some scientific evidence. The prosecution maintain ‘if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its a damn duck’.
Meanwhile the defense steadfastly maintain that there is a lack of viable scientific evidence to explain what a duck is, never mind how it walks or quacks! It could just be a moose dressed up as a duck. Of course this would be a bit of an uphill battle to put in front of a jury. But hell, they seem to be trying everything they can think of.
In my opinion the highlight of the two days came very late during the Friday ‘duck’ hearing. Judge Perry decided to share his thoughts on the subject of jury selection. Judge Perry is one of those ‘go get em’ guys and he made it abundantly clear that if a panel of 20 (12 jurors, 8 alternates) cannot be agreed on within a 5 day period, he would bring everyone back to Orlando and do the whole thing over.
This comment likely hit the defense harder than the prosecution. Jose Baez argued hard and long that his client Casey Anthony could not get a fair trial in Orlando because of the media attention. The jury pool would be tainted. In fact in his filings on that subject he even included one of Jan Barrett’s articles as proof. Odd really, Jan and I do not live in Orlando, in fact we don’t even live in Florida. But I guess this is more of the ‘duck analysis’ defense stuff!
Another subject that came up on todays program is the appearance of Jose Baez, Chaney Mason and members of the Anthony clan on a CBS 48 Hours program set to air next Saturday. (preview is here). I don’t see the prosecution team all over prime time TV, but I certainly do see the defense. With the trial so close to starting, why would Baez do this?
If you missed the live broadcast of our program you can listen to the recording here. All these questions and more, came under the scrutiny of the panel.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI do believe there is enough evidence that Casey will be convicted.
The 31 days the computer search’s.
The Partying.
The lie’s.
She was never concerned about Caylee was.
The cover up story her car had a awful smell.
Cindy cleanig evidence to cover up for Casey.
The 911 calls.
The duct tape, laundry bag, trash bags.
Tossed in her favorite place she partied at when she was in school.
You start adding all this together, now who else would know to toss Caylee in that area.
The cell phone pings, and her text mess, calling Caylee the little snot nose.
I just can not see Casey walking, except back to her cell.
We have had so many life’s damaged by this defence.
I can not wait for Bozo’s opening excuse for this woman.
Casey wanted to make sure Cindy never gained custody of Caylee.
Now the people will soon speak for Justice for Caylee.
Pat,
I would love to see that baby killer convicted and injected. However I think the defense has a shot at pinning this on George. For all Caseys habits and ugliness, George had access to all the same damning evidence as Casey. Enough to raise a doubt on who actually did it, imho
One question has always remained such a mystery to me, why when all this first started up was the date in question June 9th? Given light into Casey not being home for 31 days. Please explain how 3 different people, 2 of whom did not supposedly see their daughter or granddaughter in 31 days could come up with the exact same date as June 9th?
It will not take one shred of scientific evidence to hammer the nails into some coffins.
IMO, this whole story was started by a grandmother, the ruler of the roost, the one who wears the pants and who swings the axe.
Agree with poster Pat. Don’t forget though on how Cindy mentioned something about Caylee being in the woods.
I think we are going to see some serious business going on in the courtroom and the end result will be someone else is going to claim total insanity to keep their precious from the needle/being behind bars forever.
