One thing that's cool is that Jaycee is donating a portion of the proceeds to The JAYC Foundation, which is what she started to help people recover from traumatic experiences.
Here's the link to her foundation:

I bought a copy yesterday, and I finished it already. It's an inspirational book by an amazing person. Even after all she's been through, she seems remarkably kindhearted and caring.
This is such a refreshing, heartening story to watch after dealing with the news surrounding a certain "mother" from FL (whose name doesn't belong anywhere near Jaycee's) all week. THIS is how a loving, caring mother acts. Jaycee is such an amazing person.
I apologize if this has been asked before, but if the jury had a question about a witness' testimony during deliberations and wanted it read back to them for clarity, would the judge have allowed this?
It kills me to read that because if she'd actually taken the time to listen to and/or look through the testimony and evidence, she would have seen that Sandra Osborne testified that Yuri Melich asked her (in August of 2008, mind you) to check if chloroform was searched for on the Anthonys'...
I'm torn on this. On one hand, this is America, so I could see ICA becoming a millionaire. I'm absolutely disgusted by this, but it could happen. On the other hand, Casey will be a social pariah, and any company that publishes her book or pays her for interviews will be met with a lot of...
I think it would probably be wise for Morgan to do that. I can see Casey's attorney appealing right before her deposition so that she wouldn't have to answer any interesting questions. If that were the case, could he take part of her deposition then and reschedule the rest for later?
I'm kind of skeptical that she'll show up for this because I think that her attorneys will find a way for her to weasel her way out of it. But if she refuses to show up for a valid reason, would she be held in contempt?
Yes, she probably would be, but so would truly innocent people. Our system is not flawless or infallible (as this verdict pretty much demonstrated, IMO), but it's probably the best in the world.
Don't you think that being underwater and otherwise exposed to the elements for six months could and probably would wash all of that away? The duct tape was in pretty rough shape when the remains were found.
I believe in our justice system, and I'd like to believe that we get things right more often than we get things wrong; however, juries are not infallible. Juries don't always interpret the evidence and/or the law correctly; innocent people are convicted (and even sentenced to death), and guilty...
Wow. I am not impressed with Baez's closing statement so far. The state wasn't even trying to argue that Caylee was beaten or anything like that before she was killed, so what's the point?
I'm glad this thread exists because I'm very curious about how members of the jury are reacting, and it's kind of difficult to find information online when there are thousands upon thousands of articles and Tweets about the case.
I think that she used the chloroform to anesthetize Caylee before placing the duct tape over her nose and mouth. I hate to get graphic, but think about an awake (almost) three-year-old having duct tape placed on her face. A child that age would try to rip the tape off; she would flail her little...

I just wanted to let you all know that Jaycee's book is supposed to be out on July 12th. It's called A Stolen Life, and it will be released in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. Jaycee will be reading the audiobook herself, too! :)...
I'm SO happy for Jaycee and her family!!! A trial would have been horrible for Jaycee and her family, so I'm incredibly glad they won't have to go through that.
I was wondering how long everyone thinks the upcoming jury selection could take. IIRC, jury selection took several months in the O.J. Simpson case. I'm really looking forward to this trial starting in earnest, so I hope it doesn't take that long. What do you think?
Also, how long do you think...
