I watched much of the hearing and couldn't help but notice the difference in the demeanour and behaviour of the two sides. ICA and her "boys" were smiling (although she'd often try to hide her smiles), whispering to each other, touching, apparently having a good time (although ICA did become...

I also hope that ICA's lack of reactions will help the jury to see who she is. I've been in court for a number of trials, hearings and inquests (because of my work) involving the deaths of children. These are not children I've ever met, but I still often found myself in tears or struggling to...

I remember seeing a courtroom demo of a dog that was trained to find human blood. They took three pieces of cloth, put a drop of chicken blood on one, a drop of beef blood on another and a drop of human blood on the third. Then they washed each piece separately. Then they put each one in a paper...

Honestly, this would be funny if it wasn't such an incredible waste of time and money. Here's a guy with 22 years of experience, peer-reviewed articles published, and Baez is grilling him about whether he might possibly make some money from a patent that isn't even related to this case. And...

That tape with just Casey's voice is incredibly chilling. Listening to that convinces me that in no way was this an accident that she felt she had to cover up; there would be more emotion, some sign that she actually cared about losing her daughter. Tink

You know you're addicted when you're planning a family vacation to Orlando, and you're trying to see if it coincides with any hearings so you can drop into the courtroom, or, failing that, if you can persuade your family to go on a little tour to see the locations - the Sawgrass apartments...

Wow. This is great! Another lie, and a very telling one. Tink

I have a hard time believing that this was a sudden, unintentional act in a moment of irrational anger. Casey had been doing computer searches on weapons and ways to sedate and kill, so she was thinking about this well in advance. I think that a fight with her mother may have triggered her...

I do wonder if Amy now finds it hard to trust anyone. Casey's heartless treatment of her must have been pretty devastating. But I think Casey figured she'd just do what she always did - tell another lie. Maybe it would be "oh, my dad had another stroke/a heart attack/some other major thing...

To me, the George-did-it theory still has a lot of problems. If your father killed your daughter - even if it was an accident - would you then be out partying with friends in nightclubs night after night? Really? Would you get a tattoo that says "Beautiful life?" Would you complain that all your...

So possibly these former friends of Casey's could be questioned not to say "yes, she's a wonderful person and her life should be spared" but about things like: - was her relationship with her parents so negative that she it affected her psychologically? - did she lie and steal and could this...

I once saw a demo (on TV) of a dog trained to detect human blood. They took three squares of fabric, put a drop of human blood on one, a drop of cow's blood on the other and a drop of chicken blood on the third. They let it dry, then washed each of them separately. Once the fabric was dry, they...

I'm also fascinated by a number of aspects to this case. First is Casey's ability to lie about, apparently, everything. Her entire life was a lie, really, and it amazes me that she was able to carry this off. Remember the text messages when Amy couldn't find her money (because Casey had...

Thank you to everyone who posted the updates from the hearing! I was at work but kept checking and refreshing the page to see what was happening. The sad thing is that I kind of wish Casey had a more effective lawyer and defense. I just know that Cindy (and maybe others) will be saying...

Just a couple of thoughts...the fact that Caylee wanted to be with her mother and got upset if she left the room, doesn't necessarily mean she was being "well-mothered" or had a good, secure attachment. Excessive clinginess can also be a sign of an insecure attachment, of a child who is trying...
