Trial On Hold Again

While waiting for the trial of Casey Anthony to begin this morning and expecting an exciting day we were only disappointed again as the judge abruptly recessed the proceeding about 45 min. into it apparently the lawyers for the defense and prosecution could not get their act together. The judge did not go into detail only said there were some legal matters that had to be taken care of.

I am not a lawyer but after watching this fiasco I don't think too much of the skills of the lawyers involved in this case. Casey Anthony will probably be convicted of some of the charges against her I don't think it will be first-degree murder may be manslaughter but I'm sure she will get a new trial after all the bungling her defense team has made. So we are all on hold until Monday morning at 9 PM hopefully the trial will continue you never know with the Three Stooges running the show. Have a nice weekend people and see you on Monday.

Caylee Anthony Crime Scene

Today I visited the site where the body of Caylee Anthony was found off of Suburban drive. As you drive down Curry Ford Road coming from Orlando you make a right turn on Chickasaw Road continue on for about 2 miles and you will see Suburban drive.Make a left then, you are heading to the crime scene area. If you drive down further, it's a dead-end Road but, if you look to your right you will see a small path where people have been going to the site. It's totally a dry now but, when Caylee Anthony was found in December 1, 2008, this area is wet.About 25 feet into the woods you will see a small teddy bear and a rose which someone had placed these things there.There was one thing that caught my eyes though. There were many chicken feathers colored white which were scattered around the area. It's almost like someone had killed a chicken there. Maybe someone had some kind of ceremony, I do not know. See the white colored spot on the picture above, those are feathers.
Here are some of the pictures of the trees surrounding the area. You can see that it's really old and with thick bushes around at that time, it's hard to really see the decomposed body of the little girl.
This is the area where the body was found. As I stood here in the woods, it was very quiet and extremely hot. There was no garbage thrown around like in the crime scene photos.I do know that I felt very sad here, this is not the place you would want a sweet little girl like Caylee to be laid to rest.

Opening statement

Today the state of Florida rested their case against Casey Anthony. Now it is time for the defense to present its case that Caylee's death was an accident.

The defense in their opening statement claimed that the father helped her dispose of the body of her daughter and also at a young age had molested Casey. An opening statement with less dramatic statements would have given the defense team more flexibility. I think if they would have gone with burden of proof they might have been better off I wonder if they are now regretting that decision to go down this road. The judge today denied a request for acquittal. The state has laid out a very good case for first-degree murder against Casey Anthony. The trial will begin tomorrow 16 June at nine o'clock in the morning. It will be interesting to see if the defense team goes with the opening statements that Caylee Anthony's death was not murder but a accidental drowning in the family pool.


I learned something this morning while watching the experts discussed the case that the defense team did not have to have opening statements at the beginning of the trial they could have actually waited till the state had presented their case. That seems like a good idea to me because they would know what evidence the state had and could have prepared a better opening statement. They came out with the sensational accusation against the father and the brother and now I think the jury would like to see them prove it. If they can't they may be put into the same boat as Casey which would be a liar and they could lose their case. We will know the answers to most of our questions soon as a defense will put on their case tomorrow.

The Anthony Trial

Local and national attention will be focused on the Casey Anthony trial this week. The judge has moved jury selection to another county in Florida. I don't think this really matters because almost everyone in the state of Florida has knowledge of this case. It is going to cost taxpayers another $350,000 to try this case as the jury will have to be brought to Orlando put up in hotels and pay for their meals and transportation. This process has been going on for about three years.

I don't know if Casey Anthony is guilty or not that is for the jury to decide. I just hope that the trial moves along quickly and without further delays. The taxpayer have paid far too much money in this case let us move along quickly and get on with other things in life.
