If this was an accidental drowning, then how come the baby's remains were recovered wearing clothes?
May 25th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Very astute, and if it was a drowning, how do you reconcile that with duct tape the ME said likely smothered her… approve

Casey Anthony is a very sick young woman. A woman who hates and despises her parents to the extent that she would use such an egregious argument to bolster her defense.
The argument introduced by Jose Baez makes absolutely no sense at all. A reasonable person would have to ask why would George Anthony ever participate in a "cover up" and Baez never bothered to explain the logistics of how this deed was performed.
Only Casey knows the truth about how and why little Caylee died and whether it was deliberate or an accident but based on the number of lies that she has told we will never know the truth. But to involve both her father and brother into this sick scheme to avoid accountability, the best that the public can expect is that they put her away for the rest of her life where she is unable to harm another person.
I personally believe that this girl is beyond help as she is clearly a psychopathic personality that should be kept away from the public at large.
May 25th, 2011 at 9:28 am
Good point & I am sure the prosecution will ask the same question. I think they can win this one with a hand tied behind their back now that we know the defense strategy is to say the baby drowned and George knew all about it…to me that just shows another lie that Casey has come up with to try and get herself out of this mess but with backup this time. There is no way any jury in their right minds will let her go free. She is a sick sick woman and I think her best defense would have been to plead insanity.
May 26th, 2011 at 12:02 am
Clothes were not on the skeletal remains unless you want to count the skull and to me that so far is in dispute the duct tape and that whole crime scene. I say show me evidence then I'll believe it. I dont think she intentionally murdered her daughter. It seems so far to me to maybe have been accidental, got scared, tride to hide it. Who knows. Let's see the evidence. A cause of death would be a good start.
May 27th, 2011 at 1:59 am
The duct tape was the cause of death according to the opening defense statement.
May 27th, 2011 at 1:55 am
Why did Casey have her boyfriend break into the shed instead of borrowing gas cans as she usually did? And, Why DID SHE not use one of the four or so shovels in the shed to dig up bamboo? Answer I THINK to both DNA. Hers not linked to break in and Kaylee's not on their shovels. She is evil, more than anyone could imagine.
May 27th, 2011 at 3:02 am
I hope these questions are put to Casey on the stand. If Kaylee's death was the result of an accident (pool or otherwise) , explain why the need for duct tape over her mouth and nose then wrapped around the skull. Explain who put the duct tape on her daughter and where did they put her body. __
May 27th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
I think the state did a good job with the tow truck employee and with George Anthony. Defanitly a bad order from the trunk.. George had to roll down the windows and they both know what a dead body smells like.
It is painful to watch George Anthony on the stand…….what this family has gone trough.
May 28th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Some of the most damning evidence so far…The Heart sticker on the duct tape. It was traced back to stickers in Casey's room at her parents house.
May 28th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Do you think George Anthony did have some knowledge about Caylee's murder prior to finding the body? Do you think she may have come to him to get her out of another one of her crazy situations?
May 29th, 2011 at 8:25 am
The child died at the hands of her mother either by accident or intent. The family dysfunction is now on display because of the actions of one very sick young woman.
Casey ruled that home. Cindy enabled her by excusing her behavior in order to keep Caylee close. George is the one who did not agree and became a peripheral character since he saw through his daughter but was opposed by Cindy getting between them.
Their love for Caylee allowed them to give into Casey's lies as they wish to keep her safe from the activities of Casey which they chose to overlook.
But Casey, a selfish, self centered narcissistic monster got even with both of them in the end. She took Caylee away from her mother and forces her father to defend himself from some pretty scurrilous charges. The hallmark of a truly evil woman who if not now would have one day done the same harm and damage to another innocent human being who stood in her way.
May 29th, 2011 at 11:11 am
When they showed Caylee's Winni The Poo bedding, Cindy broke down and cried. I did too….but not Casey. That says alot to me.
May 29th, 2011 at 11:20 am
How do you read it? approve
May 29th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
She had no emotion over it… just watched Cindy talk and cry. She doesn't seem to cry when they talk about Caylee, just when SHE has been hurt. (like after Cindy stepped down and huged George).
May 29th, 2011 at 10:29 pm
Casey's feeble "defense" is right out of the Menendez Brothers playbook. Throw out "sexual abuse" and perhaps it will appeal to some Simple Simon juror who "feels" for the supposed victim.
Casey is a sick young woman. Cindy made it sound through her testimony on Saturday that she still believed to some extent whatever crapola Casey fed her over the years. What happened to that "big fight" they had on Sunday night where Cindy confronted Casey about stealing money from her grandparents? To hear her tell it, they all "cuddled in bed" on their last night together and everything was just fine.
If Lee gets on the stand and blows kisses at Casey after her slanderous declarations against him I feel for George. Personally, I would not be in the least surprised to see George and Cindy separate after this trial is over. Out of the three of them he is the only one who understands that Casey killed Caylee and is dragging them all down with her.
May 30th, 2011 at 9:10 am
There is a simple explanation as to why Casey did not call 911 to report the child dead or in distress.
Having drugged her with chloroform to keep her quiet and out of her hair, the poor baby succumbed to an overdose. An autopsy would have revealed that in her bloodstream and how would Casey then explain how it got into Caylee's system. Thus the coverup with a fictitious nanny as the culprit.
Casey is seen entering Blockbuster around 8pm and according to Tony Lazzaro's testimony they spent the entire next day in bed. Nowhere does he indicate that she left the apartment to check on the contents in her car. Either she knew full well at 8pm the night before that the baby was dead, or she wantonly ignored the fact that her drugged daughter was in the trunk awaiting release from that confinement.
One cannot overlook or discount this behavior when it is evidenced within the first 24 hours of her "disappearance". Her actions and behavior are recorded and she does not show one ounce of grief or mourning over the loss. This says it all.
May 30th, 2011 at 9:14 am
Excellent insight. Well said. approve
May 30th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
I agree with you about her actions and behavior, but what about the duck tape? Someone reported that it was put on before Caylee died. To me that means she planned her death.
June 3rd, 2011 at 1:18 pm
If we ever get it, I think the absolute truth will be worse than we can even imagine. Duct tape the pool etc. Without the truth we are left to speculate. I can't help but wonder the worst. Could Casey have put duct tape on poor Caylee and then thrown her in the pool to sufficate?
May 31st, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Well I want them to question George a little more. We are all affixed on Casey her demeanor and all kinds of other stuff. I think Lazarro helped her on the stand a bit.
June 1st, 2011 at 1:47 am
I think KC was so jealous of the love and attn Caylee got from the A's, it was stronger than her love for Caylee. KC sits there now cold as ice, even when they talk about Caylee, and seeing her mom and dad go through all this. She wanted a new life but was hell bent on taking Caylee away from Cindy. I truly believe KC chloroformed Caylee and then placed the tape on her. I think she did it at the spot where Caylee was found, cell pings show she was in the home area for 4 hrs after GA saw them drive away. She moved the body, and at a later date, ( slight remorse?) brought it back to the spot she was found. Thus the odor and hair in the trunk. Caylee's body was prob in the trunk for less than an hour but was fully decomposed by then. JMO.
June 1st, 2011 at 7:35 am
Did Baez explain why there was duct tape on her mouth and nose??? If what he claims happened was drowning?? Just an excuse to explain away the 31 days she went without reporting her daughter missing. Hell if it werent for Cindy calling the cops she may have gotten away with it. If my child was missing for 5 minutes I would have been horrified and called the cops right away just like any mother would. I hope she pays with the rest of her life in prison.
June 1st, 2011 at 11:36 am
Art, if i could revise my comment slightly after reading it again…either KC killed Caylee at the area she was eventually found OR went back to the house after GA left for work. Once the decision was made, she had everything she needed to do it knowing nobody would be home for a while. She may have put Caylee's body in the playhouse temporarily, thus the hit by the dogs. I think the reason there was no odor in the car for a few weeks is b/c KC put her body elsewhere, then retrieved it at a later date and brought it back to "her spot", leaving the decomp in the trunk during the transfer. KC wouldn't have her friends in her car if a body were in the trunk. I think Cindy found out about more theft by KC and they had a huge fight Sunday night, when KC decided to be "spiteful" and take away the thing her mother loved more than anything, Caylee.KC wanted to live with Tony w/o Caylee but she would never give Cindy custody. The whole time KC stayed with TL, Caylee never once spent a night based on TL's statements.
June 1st, 2011 at 11:38 am
Art, Cindy said they made their backyard one big patio b/c since 2008 they could no longer grow grass…do you know what happened that made it so grass would not grow in their backyard??
June 2nd, 2011 at 12:29 am
I made a mental note when Tony Lazzaro, in his testimony stated that Casey was not going to be moving with him to his new appartment. She had told him that she was going to be staying at her parents when they moved out sometime around August. Casey also told him in instant messaging that soon within a few days he would be able to come over when ever he wanted and could stay as long as he liked. Then again when her friend Amy took the stand she testified that her and Casey were planning on moving in together, that was April & May. In June Casey tells Amy that she is taking over parents mortgage around July and said she could move in, to the spare bedroom when they leave. Can the prosecution link testimony from Tony Lazzaro and Amy to help establish motive? I think that was her Ultimate plan. I think George, Cindy and the prosecution know that they had no such plans of moving. That could definately explain a lot as to why none of the family are not looking at Casey.
June 2nd, 2011 at 8:51 pm
She probably planned on killing them too!
June 2nd, 2011 at 1:22 am
Regarding the open gate and pool ladder….if Caylee drowned, wouldn't they have shut the gate and taken down the ladder? Then hid her body?
June 2nd, 2011 at 7:40 am
As much as I feel for Cindy's pain at the loss of Caylee she is still pushing the "Casey was a good mother" theme in her replies.
Casey was not a good mother. Casey was "babysitting" her own child and resented every moment of it. You don't call someone an "unfit mother" unless there are signs clearly suggesting it. Cindy had sought out therapy in order to learn how to deal with this while revealing to Casey that she intended on getting full custody due to Casey's behavior.
Trying to paint a picture of Casey and Caylee by describing their relationship as "loving" is Cindy once again attempting to hide the truth. She knew that Casey was promiscuous and lying her soul to hell. Casey was ready and willing to dump the responsibility onto her mother at the end of the work day and Cindy must have balked more than once which led to the invented lies about Zanny the Nanny.
June 2nd, 2011 at 5:48 pm
This new witness from the defense….they said they have never given it a thought of Casey's behavior? Dancing etc…..I have a hard time beliving this. It has been plastered all over the tv and internet blogs for the last 3 years.
June 2nd, 2011 at 9:31 pm
why dont they give george&lee a lie detecter test and get the truth
June 9th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Awww!!! So sad 2 bad beotch got sick today in court I am sure she will be ok. Little Caylee wont recover from death. All a ploy by Baez he wants this phony actress to do this to show aww look she is disgusted when she sees these photos.
Fry her!!!!
June 10th, 2011 at 10:12 am
There will always be people who fall into the "don't confuse me with the facts I have already made up my mind" thinking.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Well I saw the tag on the kids T shirt the brand was Circo. this brand is made for Target . A store tot mom loves to shop at!
June 22nd, 2011 at 3:11 pm
M prediction:
1. The jury will compromise and go for the second degree charge.
2. She will be out in 20 years.
3. Cindy and George will divorce.
4. George goes off to obscurity while Cindy will remain in the public eye forever declaring Casey a "victim" of the system.
5. Every few years there will be another retrospective where Cindy will blast the "injustice" of the justice system, still looking for ways to defend Casey.
6. Lee will remain out of the public eye but will eventually "forgive" Casey.
7. Umpteen books will be written and some people will get rich, including Cindy.
8. We will never learn the actual details as Casey will continue to live as though nothing happened.
9. Upon her release at the age of 45 Casey will quickly marry but end up divorced. If Cindy is still alive she will be close to Casey's side.
10. Few will remember Caylee Anthony.
June 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Art, if Casey is found not guilty does a new trial start with George since they said her lawyer said he found the baby girl ?
June 23rd, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Where are they witnesses and evidence against him other than his lying daughter? I don’t see it. tx
June 23rd, 2011 at 5:33 pm
I wonder which juror will cause the jury to stay out beyond an hour. This 'mother' is not fit to breath oxygen/air. If anyone believes 1% of what she has said then they are in deep kimshee and need serious thinking about having their own analysis down by a professional.
June 24th, 2011 at 12:55 am
It will be far more than an hour, maybe couple days for the jury to show they truly studied the case…
June 24th, 2011 at 9:56 am
Have the prosecutions witnesses said anything about testing the soil that may be found on the brake and gas pedals and the carpet and floor mats on the drivers side of the car? More than likely Casey drove the car with the body in it to the spot that Caylee was buried and getting in the drivers side would more than likely leave dirt there. Just because there was no dirt on any of the shoes does not mean there wasn't any elsewhere, like in the car.
June 24th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Casey is doomed. with all the lies, witnesses to her behavior after the fact, there is no way she can go scott free – I hope. While the forensic evidence may be weak, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. I do not believe that Cindy and George believe their daughter is innocent. I think they knew Jose Baez was going to use the strategy that he has. I wonder how much George actually knows of what happened. If anything, It could be that Casey told him what happened, so he knew after the fact. I don't believe he helped cover it up, even though by his own admission, that he would do anything for his daughter. I think that is why he tried to committ suicide. This poor little girl. casey is a conniving, lying, selfish woman, and should be in jail for the rest of her life. No easy way out with the death penalty, but let her sit and stew in her own juices and think about it every day
June 25th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
I cannot make heads or tails of this entire case….The state of Florida has their theory….the defense has theirs and I really think then you have the Truth….all I hear are lies, lies, lies and I can only imagine what the jury is thinking…
Why does Lee Anthony have immunity???? What will George say on the stand???? Why did this case recess today??????
I don't know but we cannot put someone to death based on what we think happened…hope that justice comes for the young child Caylee….but I think there is more then just Casey guilty of something but what I don't know.
June 27th, 2011 at 5:25 am
With so many things going on and changing by the day it scares me that some how she will get off or on a lesser charge. Let's remember there is one juror that has said she doesn't feel she should judge anyone. That's all it could take is one juror to change her charges.
After what happened Saturday it makes this even scarier. Something BIG is going on. For Judge Perry to Seal this it's big.
I was blown away with Cindy going on the witness stand and saying she was looking for the reason her dogs were sick. I would think if that was true she would have started with Bamboo Trees. What would make her look for cholorform when she "says" she was trying to see if the dogs were getting sick from eating bamboo leaves….BS
September 3rd, 2011 at 11:17 am
Who keeps lying when their lies are all out in the open? Some one trying to cover their own butt or some one that is covering for some one else. Caseys lies went beyond saving her self. Her lies were straight in her face yet she did not crack.
Which was it George and Cindy- the last time you saw caylee was the 8th, the 9th or the 16th.? The 16th only came out "AFTER" the picture of caylee with your father came out Cindy, before that it was the 8th or 9th.
Which is it George and Cindy, you did not know where your daughter was and thought she was in Jacksonville, because thats what she told you, or she was at your home talking to you on the 24th and on the 26th Cindy when she borrowed your ca
September 3rd, 2011 at 11:17 am
Which is it George , your in denial, or trying to save your daughter?
You know the one you keep directing investigators toward. From all your statements to FBI they seemed to think you were even a little gun hoe to have them believe Casey was all things rotten.
Didn't they say hey hold up George we don't even know what happened, it could have been an accident. But that,s right you lied to save your daughter. yea sure you did. Wonder why the car did not smell on the 24th . Wonder where the car was on the 25th and 26th. Those are the only two days for a decomposed body to have been in the car.
September 3rd, 2011 at 11:18 am
Cindy in that 1st jailhouse tape( its right there for anyone to hear) why did you tell Casey , we forgive you for anything you have told them. And why did your daughter say don't worry I did not tell them anything! Did you really mean you forgave her for saying anything or were you just fishing to see if she had said anything Cindy? You two were going to let your daughter take the fall for it all.. George didn't care, Cindy cared ssome what more but not enuff to involve herself. No wonder your daughter was so mad in jail. While you talked all your BS knowing you were being taped after that 1st tape. My gosh where do you think she is casey, and what should we do and bla bla, what a crock of bs
