Well I'm sure the jury is disappointed they won't hear from Killer Casey. I kind of am. She could have manipulated, and conived, and tried to convince the jury otherwise. Not that anyone would have believed her, but...

Still, I think it was the right decision. The Defense has rested.

Jeez...just end this trial already, then take her out back of the courthouse and put two in the back of her head.

Then repeat with Nancy Grace.  I swear to Christ my ears bleed every time I surf past that channel when she's on.

I guess they're going to rest on the reasonable doubt thing. Also I'm sure they didn't want the prosecutors getting to her for the cross-exam.

Attended a 4 hour trial over a dispute on a fence between neighbors (didn't stay there the whole time---left early). It was ridiculous. The one neighbor was nuts (sorry I'm not a PC type person). She decided to defend herself. The longer she talked, the more evident it was that she was really out there.

She had a habit of accusing everyone, the police, the court system, fellow workers and neighbors of persecuting her. So the judge let her run on and on. Then he issued a protection order to the neighbors, who she was harassing, and ordered a pysch eval. If she didn't, she'd go to jail. Of course in her delusions, she acted as her own attorney.  :whatever:

I'm curious.......

Not being critical of anyone, just am interested, after 11 pages of this thread.

What is the attraction to this particular trail?  There are hundreds of trials ongoing across the US for  (in some cases) far more heinous crimes.....

What is it about this event??

Why the "wall to wall" TV coverage??  To me watching a trial is similar to watching paint dry........

OJ she isn't.......

What's the deal?

I have to chalk it up to Caylee Anthony looking like a little angel and her mom being a psychopath.  It always tugs at human's hearts when a beautiful little child is involved in something so horrid.  It is kind of like a train wreck, you just can't look away.

I suspect that it is because Casey is so cold and emotionless in the courtroom. Not one bit of remorse.

I agree with you though. Obamacare just got ruled constitutional by the 6th Circuit and will go to the Supreme Court, but the media including Fox focuses only on this trial.

I've been wondering this very thing. I haven't followed the case (though I've heard breathless babblings from various lawyer pundits in the TV background), all the MSM and cable networks are all over this like stink on shit, and yet this particular woman is no more compelling than any other axe-murdering mother wrapped up in herself and her "wants".

I too have wondered.

The only thing I can think of is that it's the first mother on trial in a long line of middle to upper middle class "killer moms" who didn't take a plea and not have a trial.

I don't watch, but I follow the trial. As a mother, another mother killing their child is SO foreign. I never even let anyone except my Nana and a dear friend I've known since middle school babysit my boys. Before I started homeschooling when they went to school, I went to school. For me it's trying to understand what makes a person that cold and try to understand why she did it. Was it jealousy? Punishing her parents for some reason? Casey's mother seems incredibly controlling and still very dedicated to her daughter, even evidently lying for her on the witness stand. NO one is going to research "chlorophyll" if they're worried about their dog eating a poisonous plant. They're going to search for "poisonous plant". And Cindy apparently still believes Casey (lots of delusion in that family). No wonder the father was an alcoholic. His wife is a controlling bitch and his daughter is the psycho bitch from hell.

It's the same reason I love true crime shows and books. I think I've read every Ann Rule book on the planet. What the heck makes a person this disturbed and how could her family not notice long before Caylee was born?

I thought court was on a break until tomorrow morning.  I guess Jane Valez Michelle is a liar because she said no court until Friday and that's when the defense would wrap up its case.

Not like it matters, Casey is guilty.

A mother killed her two year old child.  Mother never reported the child missing, but claimed the "nanny" kidnapped the child.

I'm watching like a hawk because I've been sucked in since day 1 this story first hit national news in 2008.  I was just trying to figure out why a mother wouldn't call 911 if their child was kidnapped, but go out and party instead.  Casey Anthony is a train wreck.  No matter how much you want to look away, you just can't.  I have co-workers who come to me for updates on the case because they know I have no life from 3pm-7pm on weeknights because I am too busy getting caught up on this.

Yes, my life is wrapped up in this, but it just breaks my heart to see a child harmed (and killed) in such a horrible way.

I'm gonna hazard a guess.......again, nothing critical intended to anyone interested but I'd suggest this is just a "media event".

First.......no judge that has even a shred of dignity and professionalism would allow TV cameras in his/her courtroom during a murder trial........which leads to the second:

The media has turned this into "Reality TV", sorta like "Survivor" on steroids...........just for daytime ratings (which typically suck).

It's been manufactured to sell deodorant and kitchen appliances..........kinda sad when one looks at it this way.  Not a particularly great testimonial to the present state of our culture.

I think she may be found guilty of second degree murder or manslaughter, but not first degree, and there may be a hung jury.
At any rate, there will be a second trial, non-televised.

Just to make absolutely sure they should take out the whole family.  The mother "innocently" googles Chloroform or was that just a red herring?  The father was a police detective, the mother a nurse vs a 22 yr old party girl, now for the love of Christ, which of those two teams would know better on how to game the system?
This smacks too much of the Jon Benet circus and how long after her mother was dead was she exonerated?

A grand distraction from what Obama is up to.

Something happend the other day that makes one wonder ------Casey was given an emergency Physic. exam from 3 no less headshrinkers to see if she was sane enough to know what was going on.

There had to have been not only a blow up between Casey and her Lawyer Jose but perhaps a pitched battle within the lawyers on her side in regards to how to handle her case.

The Law states that if Casey has told her lawyer she is guilty she cannot take the stand and lie as that would be called suborning perjury by the Lawyers.

So if she insisted on testifying, her lawyers that allowed her to would face ruin's, loss of licences and perhaps jail time.

Last ditch effort by the Defence would be to try to get her declared unable to testify due to mental problems.   They tried that and it failed.  Now what???

For the last few days she has appeared to be giddy with something, laughing, smiling and it looks like she thinks she has pulled off something big.---------What on earth could that be???

She knows a guilty verdict will mean an appeal on numerous valid reasons, the next trial will cost the earth as this one has, she can start over with new lawyers, new Jury, new Judge, and it may be years before the next trial.  Can she get bail while she waits for the next go round, perhaps house arrest or even work release??

The ONLY person to testify other then experts and police With no horse in the race was the fathers mistress.  She I believe, she has no reason to lie about anything.   Mother, father, brother and the meeter reader all have every reason to lie----and I believe have done so blatantly.

We'll see how this Circus and Theater of the Macabre turns out.

I was on a True Crime kick for years, and also think I've read every Ann Rule book.  Do you suppose she might write a book about the case?

Haven't watched this trial so I don't know all the ins and outs.  I'd read Ann's take on it all though.

Saw a news article this morning, on the internet, that said they have gone into an "indefinite recess".

According to the article, the defense wants to do some further depositions of the prosecution's rebuttal witnesses. Judge told them to not take too much time doing it, and that there would be court on Sunday if the depositions were done.

Judge must be doing everything he can to accommodate the defense in order to prevent as much as possible for reasons to appeal.

Can't find the original article I read, but this one is more recent... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43605512
