Re: Interesting interview with a juror from Casey Anthony trial on ABC right now
I agree.
Casey left her parents' home, taking her daughter with her, and didn't return for 31 days. During those 31 days, Casey's mother asked if she could see her grandkid, but Casey always made excuses, and said Caylee was with her "nanny," that didn't exist. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
Three days after leaving her parents' home, Casey borrowed a shovel from neighbor Brian Burner. "She said she wanted to borrow a shovel to dig up a bamboo root," Burner testified. Of course, a bamboo root. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
A month later, her parents receive a notice that Casey's car was in a tow yard. Her dad George goes to pick up the car. George and the tow yard attendant note a very strong smell coming from the trunk... and under testimony, both believed the odor to be that of a decomposing body. Cindy Anthony, a nurse, testified that she's familiar with the smell of a decomposing body, and when she called 911, she said, "There is something wrong. I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car." But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
Investigators find a hair that matched Caylee's, in the trunk of Casey's vehicle, and they found it was consistent with hair from a dead body. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
They found interesting Google searches on Casey Anthony's computer- how to make chloroform; how to use chloroform; neck breaking; death. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
The research group for this trial stated there was chloroform found in the trunk of Casey's car. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
We find out the same type of duct tape, plastic bags, and laundry bag that were discovered at the scene of the crime were the same found at Casey's residence. But this isn't evidence, I'm just sayin'.
How many other times had she left with the kid? How many other times had she left for days on end without returning home?
The whole asking to borrow a shovel never made sense to me and wouldnt be a surprise if the guy lied about it just to get involved. Why would she need to borrow a shovel? Did they find one in the Anthonys garage? If not why not? What other tools were in there and if most 'common tools were in there why not a shovel?
Car was in a tow yard for how long? And so many peopel smelled this smell why wasnt it torn apart then before george was even called? Casey was also missing or wherabouts unknown as well. So why would george not then get worried about casey (as well as the baby) if the smell was so bad? As for what her mother said, I am sure she could have been using hyperbole just looking to try and get some actual help.
One single hair in the trunk that was dubious at best as to how it was not only collected but what it actually meant. Defense had an expert that said it wasnt from a dead body that was just as believable as the prosecution.
I doubt anyone on these forums would pass any sort of test when it comes to google searches. So if searching for weird and evil shit were against the law 90% of the people using the internet would be on trial for murder. Was the neck broken? Not that I know of. Sio just another red herring thrown out there. Same as shovel. Why on earth would anyone need to do a search for shovel?
Why would there be ANY chlorofom in the trunk if it dissipates so fast? No way she could have made anywhere near that much to still have the numbers they tried to testify to in court. go spill some gas in your car and see if it lasts months. Not sure the exact time line, but I am sure you could find the amount of time from when the kid was last seen, or 3-5 days after that. Then the day it was finally examined by cops and these tests took place. All the experts said chloroform dissipates in short order. yet the prosecution experts all tried to put it in there (I think) at least 2 month to 10 weeks after it was supposedly used. Plus they never ever even tried to show she knew how to make it, showed she ever talked about making it with anyone, never found anything anywhere that could connect her to chloroform in any way shape or form other than some innocuous google searches and supposed residue or whatever in the trunk.
All that stuff that was found was accessible by all the familiy members so thee is no evidence whatsoever connecting it solely to casey.
The defense painted themselves into a corner with the whole drowning theory. but that was all they could say that was 'provable'. They could have just as easily said the father or the brother killed the little girl. But much harder to prove or at least hint to. But no less plausible. I dont think the kid drowned. But I dont put it out of the realm of possibility that the brother or father could have been involved. As I said a theory has to be believable to work not necessarily the truth.
The way this case played out it was some elaborate pre meditated plot that took this woman months to plan out and eventually carry out. So where did it happen? Where did she get the materials? No one saw her buying the ingredients? No one helped her? So a high school drop out searched the internet, learned how to make chloroform (did she print out directions or write it down or just memorize the formula?) then got all the ingredients (that no one could find she did) and made it (who knows where as she was apprarently crashing with people the whole time she was gone and I doubt she could afford a hotel room to make it. Unless she Mcgyvered it in a still somewhere.
People just take all the stuff she was supposed to be able to do (without ANYONE seeing her do it) for granted. But like I say theories are proffered on stuff that can maybe be proven or have a plausible explanation. But the prosecution wasnt even close to proving any of theirs. You can cite all the make believe evidence you want it still doesnt explain how the baby died, who may have actually been the last person to see her alive, or who could have killed her. I could throw out at least a dozen scenarios that people could accepts as to what happen, only a thrid of them involve casey at all. So if you can come up with that many possibilities you have more than enough reasonable doubt.
Were her actions bad? Yes, but that doesnt mean shit. It just doesnt. Like I said, just look at The Shrink and how he acted, and his wife acted (she actually posted here a few time shortly before they did what they did) so why did they do that? No one knows. For closure? For shits and giggles? I am also sure Shirnk had personal plans and people he had things ongoing with as well. So if he were planing this, which he obviously had for quite some time, what about that? Make him a bad (worse) guy? You cant judge people by their actions when you dont know the explicit reasons for those actions. Even opes on trial.
It wasnt like casey was running away either. She was found with some guy and taken in and released. Then when she was out on bail she didnt try to run away either. So she never showed any sort of flight type tendencies. She just went on a bender. I am sure she will have a story to tell when she gets out, and I doubt it involves the kid drowning. That was just what they used in court because it was easiest to make use of. but still not the most plausible. Because she could have just as easilly said her father or brother had the kid and she lied to protect them when she found out her baby was missing. Which to me would have made a better defense story than the drowning one, and also more believable. But to make that work you need to weave a much deeper story, which from what we have sen with these guys isnt that big a stretch from what might be reality. but if she calimed one of her family members had the baby then that would buy her a few days of 'bad' behavior, as she would have been on a sort of vacation while one of them watched her baby long term. It could also explain away why she may not have reported anythng herself and why she really became secretive about everything as she didnt want to implicate one of them. Obviously long term the brother makes more sense as Cyndy would have probably known if Geroge had the kid. but then again he hid an affair so who knows.
What you all want to call evidence is mostly coincidence and stuff that could just as easily implicate someone else in the house, not just casey.
