Did Casey Anthony Snap At Jose Baez Friday?

Inside Judge Belving Perry’s courtroom Friday, the “Casey Cam” caught a moment Friday, July 1, when accused killer Casey Anthony appears to snap at her lawyer.
What is she upset about? Then a seemingly perturbed Jose Baez points for her to sit down and is off to a bench conference.
It’s a Moment that raises more questions than it answers, like just who is in charge of Casey’ Anthony’s defense, the defendant or the lawyers?
From covering the other trial of the century, OJ Simpson lawyers told me it was the client who played quarterback, Simpson himself, that they laid out recommendations and he made the call.
One of the turning points was the bloody glove.
It set up one of many defense coups the jury may have seized on to acquit the accused killer who was later found responsible for the killings of estranged wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, and ordered to pay more than $33 million.
At the criminal trial , his dramatic wincing as he tried on an obviously shurnken leather glove. No one one pointed out liquids can shrink leeather, like blood.
It inspired the late Johnny Cochran’s quip of of the decade: “if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit!”
Everyone recalls the scene that inspired it and won Simipson a get out of jail free card with a largely inner city jury vulnerable to a defense charging police corruption, evidence contamination and more, and an OJ moment struggling to pull on a glove. No doubt it had shrunk, after soaking in the victims’ blood, as OJ tried to pretend his hand was just too big.

I watched the OJ trial… That Jury was not going to convict him from day one.. F. Lee Bailey and Johnnie Cochran didn't have to put on such a dramatic performance, they had it won from early on, but they were fun to watch.. OJ extended his fingers when he put on the glove, plus it had shrunk, like you said, Art…Casey acted strange today after the prosecution finished. She hung her head, then looked over at one of her attny's, smiled and started moving her hands, as if to say, "you wouldn't let me testify, and now I am sunk"..I think she and Baez have a love/hate relationship…They both want to be top dog, and both are immature.. Not to worry about Baez finding work after his failed defense..He can represent Matthew, the bird flipper..lol Happy July 4th, Art, and bloggers…

When one of OJ's confidants was making the rounds of the talk shows a few years back to sell his mea culpa book, he decided to come clean. He admitted on the Oprah show that he had advised OJ to not take his arthritis medicine for a while and OJ's hands subsequently swelled to a larger size.

Enter text right here!I have a question. If Rory Crump Saw a white ball twice that looked like a skull, how did it roll out of the bag the third time?

What a day in court today!!! Ashton smiling at Bozo, ( I don't consider that laughing), while Bozo makes a fool of himself in closing..Ashton has a nervous twitch around the facial area, but the so called "laughing" was uncalled for, if he was, in fact, laughing..Why is Casey getting away with her smirky face movements, and animations? I found it strange to see she and Baez hugging, right after he had referred to her twice as a slut in court…George took more trashing, as he sat stoically…I predict the Jury will come back with a verdict late Monday night, or early Tuesday morning..One of the Jurors is going on a cruise on the 6th or 7th…I think they are tired and ready to go home…Doesn't early verdict usually mean guilty? What say you, Art?

You are right. A fast verdict, if it happens, is bad news for Casey Anthony. It means Baez fell flat, that he had nothing in common with the Dream Team backing A REAL  accused killer in the real trial of the century and DNA in that case…How can anyone compare Jose Baez to the likes of Johnny Cochran, F. Lee Bailey , Robert  Shapiro…he’s got cojones to put it out with a straight face, but his spiel left expectations unfulfilled.

Welll, we didn't break OJ's record of less than four hours for a verdict…The longer it goes, the less confidence I have that Caylee will get justice.. Except for the attny's acting like children at times, I was impressed with the trial, and especially Judge Perry.. This had to be extremely hard on him..I felt at times Judge Perry was a law instructor, teaching Baez how to present a trial…He was more than patient…IMO I will say, I think Baez had a lot of guts taking on this trial..He had been a licensed attny for only three years when it began, and never a murder case..This trial could make or break him.. If he can be more professional, and not get involved with his clients on a romantic level, it will surely help his profession..There appeared to be hanky-panky between he and Casey when she was released on bond..That may have caused a bad perception of him in the public eye..I hope the Jurors can put aside everything except the evidence, or lack of, and come to the best verdict they can…I have faith they will…

I sure enjoyed the final statements. IMO Baez made a fool of himself, I don’t think he hardly mentioned Caylee, calling Casey a slut….weird.
So, he was a joke and both states anttys were totally awesome, esp, Karen Burdick. Did you notice how Baez kept yawning during Karen’s final comments! She was apectacular, and her ‘common sense’ remarks.
Thanx so much for giving us the opportunity to watch the trial live. I’ve been online during the entire process.
Take Care, Stay Cool and catch me on the flipper!

I hope if Casey did the killing she will be haunted by the murder.OJ needed a rude awakening.
