Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Casey Anthony defense team along with their client were in court arguing about whether certain statements made by Casey Anthony in 2008 would be admissible during the trial which is scheduled to begin on May 9, 2011, in my opinion this is long overdue.
Casey Anthony is in jail being held on first degree murder of her then two year old daughter, Caylee Anthony. She claims Caylee’s Nanny took the baby but no one has been able to locate any nanny. Casey never even bothered to report her child gone. Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mother, reported her in a 911 call 31 days later. Caylee’s body was found dumped in the woods within walking distance of the Anthony’s home in Orlando. She was put inside a laundry bag which was put inside a trash bag and thrown out like garbage.
I didn’t catch all of the hearings but the parts that I did catch made me sick. George Anthony shows so much disrespect for the courts when he acts like he runs the show. He sits up on that witness stand and I think he actually thinks he can choose what the attorney’s can ask him and what his answers will be. Today he sat in the courtroom chewing on his gum like he was a King watching his little princess from behind.
OK I understand that George and his wife, Cindy Anthony lost a grandchild and could very well be losing their only daughter too. Does that give them the right to show such disrespect for the law or the courts or even the judge for that matter? I lost all respect for the Anthony’s when they stopped worrying about little Caylee and turned their total focus on Casey and trying to save her.
If they honestly don’t think she did anything to that baby, why the heck aren’t they out there trying to find out who did, then? Why? It is because they already know who did it and I assume since they are willing to commit perjury by lying under oath to try to save their daughter’s butt, they must care more about Casey than they do Caylee.
I know that they love their daughter, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from a parent in a situation like this, but to lie and make excuses for their daughter is wrong. Cindy Anthony has deliberately obstructed justice to cover up for her daughter. I can’t understand how she has gotten away with it. She has admitted to washing the jeans she found in Casey Anthony’s car because they had a bad smell on them. She has admitted that she knew she gave the detectives the wrong hairbrush when they requested Caylee’s. Anyone else that would have done such things would have been arrested already.
While I do not believe for one minute that George or Cindy Anthony had anything to do with Caylee’s death I do believe that they along with their son, Lee have been working overtime trying to help her cover up what happened to Caylee. Maybe it was an accident, but even if it was, they should have said so from the beginning and not lied. It is too late now to claim it was an accident. You don’t have to cover up an accident.
The defense is trying to prove that the detectives convinced the Anthony’s to try to get Casey Anthony to talk about what happened without her attorney present. For Pete’s sake, the detectives were just trying to figure out what happened to that baby. They were doing their job. At that time who cares if her attorney was present or not.
I am sure there will be a lot of people glued to their TV or computer once this trial starts, I know I will be. I want to see this woman go to prison for life with NO chance of parole. I want her to suffer like her little girl suffered. I also want the Anthony’s to pay for their roles in this case as well. They are not royalty that deserves special treatment. When a normal person gets on the witness stand they are expected to do none other than to answer the questions all the attorney’s ask of them. They would not be allowed special treatment when they claim how hard this is for them. It just doesn’t work like that in a court of law, yet they seem to think they can do it and get away with it. Using their so called grief for their granddaughter shouldn’t allow them to show disrespect for our laws or our courts.
I will be so happy once this is all over and then we can stop hearing about poor Casey. Instead it should be poor Caylee, and what that child went through at the hands of her own mother. For once I’d like to hear one of the Anthony’s actually tell the truth and say that Caylee is the important one here. She needs justice and the only way that can happen if the person responsible for taking her life is punished to the fullest extent of the law. God bless little Caylee Marie Anthony. She is who this is all about, not her mother, Casey Anthony. The Anthony’s really needs to remember that.

I also have been following this case the past 2 1/2 days.
the Anthoney bunch have NO respect for the court, police, Judge or the law for that fact. I hope everyone of them are behind bars by this summer.
None of the Anthonys allow themselves to be held accountable for anything. Did you know that they did not pay their mortgage for months and months and Bank of America did not foreclose on them? Several years ago, I missed just two mortgage payments and the bank immediately started foreclosing proceedings! I had to wire the payments to them by Western Union IMMEDIATELY!!! Jan, a quick question. Why do you think Casey sobs when she sees Cindy but TOTALLY ignores her father and brother? I found that so strange this week. Is she mad at them?
Thank you, Jan!
I couldn’t have said it any better myself!
There comes a time, when one has to say, “Enough’s – Enough!”
They simply appear to be uable to do that!
Someone in that family has got to, and will –
Mark my words, someone will finally stand up and say “Hey this is for no one other than CAYLEE!”
“I SWEAR, WITH ALL I HAVE IN ME – I SWEAR I AM GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH! THE WHOLE TRUTH, THE REAL TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. SO HELP ME GOD!”
And that GREAT individual will be none other than, her “GREAT-Uncle RICK”!
He will bring the Court to its knees when he is called to testify on the stand –
I guarantee, there will be not a dry eye in the room!
The roar of support, and TRUE heartache will resonate off of him and bounce off the four walls of that room –
He will be there, his whole heart THERE –
All, and ONLY, for this innocent, tiny toddler that was taken off the face of the earth so viciously – In a manner so ruthless, fueled by, and with such HATE and EVIL-ness!
As for Inmate Anthony, she will be enraged!
Rest assured, she will be filled with such disdain and hate for her Uncle Rick!
All because he WILL be the ONE, the one that stands up for, and represents everything and all, in order to give “VOICE” to little CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY, if only for ONE LAST TIME!
I look forward to that day!
God Bless you, Rick Pleasea!
God Bless you, Caylee Angel!

rankin9774 I think she sheds tears when her mother is around because she knows that will get to her mother. It could be her sick way of making Cindy feel guilty or to torture Cindy more too. Who knows! It also could be because of what she has accused both George and Lee of doing to her when she was younger. She could be still planning to throw that at them if things don’t go like she wants them to go. Cindy sees Casey as the perfect daughter, that can do no wrong and Casey uses that against her. Cassey is not stupid. She knows just what she is doing.
Good afternoon. Jan this is how we all feel. You expressed it perfectly. I can’t wait to see Uncle Rick too Cpt. KD. Also, Cindy’s mom will be honest too. Casey is an actress. No tears. She smiled today at her mother because Cindy made Casey look good and the “bad cops” were tricky and against her. Yea, right. They were the only ones hoping to find out what really happened to sweet Caylee.
I watched a lot of this prelim hearing as well-I thought the Ants would at least be a bit more respectful in court, but it seems nothing in their moxie has changed, same type of defiance if you want to call it that. I did not understand this utterance about how the D.A. was talking in a somewhat condensending? way towards Cindy-I did not see that-I saw a professional doing her job-Cindy on the other hand wanted to make it seem like there was a familiarity with LDB by calling her by her first name, like everybody was just sitting around and chatting. Geo, what to say about Geo. Sense of entitlement? Sense of you shouldn’t be wasting my time on this? If these 2 thought the Depo was rough, Baby, they haven’t seen anything yet. ;).
Great job Jan. It has been a long time coming but I too hope Casey gets justice here. It is sad none of the family are there for Caylee. The only comfort we can have for Caylee is knowing she is a happy little camper now, in the arms of Jesus.
I have a question. Is Casey Anthonys uncle in the court room at all times? He looks very similar to George Anthony
Jesus! These people think they can play games like the Wizard of Oz, blowing smoke up the public’s and People’s ass, from behind the curtain! I can’t wait for Toto (Uncle Rick) to pull that drapery aside and expose these people for what they are; self serving, deluded and demented LOOO-HOOOSERS!
If ever I had been inclined to feel a moment’s pity for Casey, or believed the crap that she “Drugged and Put Her Daughter to Sleep Forever,” due to simple negligence, that door has been slammed shut forever and ever, into perpetuity! If the Anthony’s had been shell-shocked and utterly horrifed at the thought that their daughter might be a murderer, that in itself might have swung some sympathy votes Casey’s way, but NOOOO! The Anthony’s think that the world revolves around them and everything is someone else’s faults. They live in the proverbial house of cards. Cuckoos!
I hope like the dickens one or ALL of them get caught in their lies on the stand and are thrown into jail for aiding and abetting a felon, or lying to obstruct justice, (as we know they have on numerous occasions)just to wipe the smugness off their faces. Wouldn’t it be great if Casey was finally forced to look at her mother, sharing a prison cell with her?!
Jan, there might be myriad reasons why the Prodigal Daughter burst into tears/smiled at her mother, but I’m inclined to believe that when Casey sees her mother, she sees the reason why she packed her daughter up and deposited her in the trunk. While she maintains a steely facade, I think she MUST miss Caylee, at least SOMETIMES, and she knows the real reason everything happened is because of what her overbearing mother promised to do; take her daughter from her. Instead, CASEY took her granddaughter away, simply to smite her. When she looks at her mother, she sees the reason for her own predictament.
SHE knows what she did. Happy or sad, let’s fry the Wicked Witch of the Southeast!
I can’t help feeling sorry for the anthonys. (not casey) I don’t know how I would handle myself if I were in their shoes. How absolutely horrible this must be for them. I just can’t fathom the true core of their situation. I imagine they are dealing with alot of guilt because of the way they raised her. And regret. People aren’t born liars. They learn it from those they mirror the most, their parents. Morals and manners are a learned behavior as well. They have to know by now that it’s too late to go back and instill values…it’s too late for casey but more importantly, it’s too late for caylee. How tragic.
Feel sorry for the Ants, (Not KC). Wouldn’t wanna trade places w/ them for the world. I have a young, married daughter and granddaughter… If my granddaughter went missing and then dead and if my daughter was the prime suspect, I’d be BESIDE myself, as well. Luckily, I am not in that position.
George: Please stop the gum chewing in court. You look silly and it’s extremely disrespectful to the court IMO. Cindy has also been guilty of this gum nonsense, but in the last court date she seems to have seen how silly it makes her look and opted out of the jaw smacking.
I don’t feel sorry for casey one bit!!!she crys for a put on!i feel very sorry for the grandparents!i lost a 6 year old granddaughter to murder ,let me tell you,it hurts BAD!!it never goes away,it puts a toll on your life!and your heart feels like it has harden like a stone! i feel so sorry for the parents! CASEY is guilty!she needs the death penalty! save money,do what they do in other countrys,don’t waste money and time!!CAN THE B=====!!!!!
