Totally unclear to me how this defendant would be linked to Sal/Gianni/Ilona, except by happenstance--as far as we know. And, it seems like a lucky break that he was apprehended with weapons linked to this murder. On the other hand, if this guy had any expectation that he would not be ID'ed...

I'm not familiar with California law on this matter. "Target practice" with a loaded weapon is not illegal, obviously. But, is driving with a loaded weapon in a vehicle, even if the weapon is legally owned, not legal in California? And, he had a silencer, also? Are silencers illegal for all...

Other than the McStay's, (which is spooky enough), I'm having a hard time recalling another (recent) multiple murder in San Diego County that hasn't been linked to a family member who was quickly identified. Usually they are apprehended fairly quickly or they commit suicide. LE has certainly...

Sounds like he was a "pre-med" student or wanted to advance as one. I have no idea what kind of student Gianni was, but the washout rate of people with that goal is very high. There is just about zero chance that someone looking for a job of this nature would already be in medical school, and...

Thank you for becoming a part of WS at such a difficult time for you and the Belvedere family. I respect your opinion about these people and their families. Your knowledge of their personalities is important and more valid than others that do not know them. I wish that was enough to rule out...

This is a very sad, confusing scenario. IMO, LE is keeping a lot of information close to the vest on this case that makes it difficult to analyze. Was this a execution by someone outside of the family, or the work of Gianni's hand alone? Surveillance video may contain a lot of information...

I've read the depositions. From them, I have learned that: a) GA may have molested Caylee, after which he murdered her in the pool. Afterward, Caylee was found dead, Casey was blamed, and George said he would "take care of it". Casey then spent 31 days in denial, wanting/hoping that...

Thank you very much for speaking up on this matter. I believe you are absolutely correct. I have also served on a jury but admit that I have not felt personally threatened because of my service. It is dispiriting to hear that ordinary citizens feel concerned for their safety as a result of...

You can't reason with crazy. GE is a remorseless psychopath that killed the person she was most angry with, justifying her actions in ways you and I are not capable of, except as writers of fiction, perhaps. Michelle got caught within a vortex she probably had no role in creating. I...

Even if you believe Casey was falsely accused, from the day of her release she was destined to live a far more miserable life compared to the time she shared on Earth with Caylee. I'm not certain that eternal punishment exists, but for Casey, it's going to feel as if it does. She's stuck...

Whatever else you may say about JB and his team, they were looking out for their client's interest in jury selection and vetted them extremely well. There was no interest by the DT to select anyone who had an abiding interest in insuring proper justice with no regard to how long deliberations...

It has been well established in the medical literature that the ratio of suicides to suicide gestures (actual suicides compared to "attempts") are considerably higher in men. This is due to the fact that men generally use more lethal methods involving a firearm, whereas women are more likely to...

I've always felt that the chloroform was a red herring. JB, in his closing statement, passionately emphasized Yuri Melich's testimony that investigators were completely unable to find any connection with Casey or the Anthony home with the presence or possession of chloroform: no one bought it...

I think you are right. This case took an entire month to present. How could you deliberate even the most pertinent evidence in only a few hours? Someone on this jury--even if it was only one person--should have stood up for the process and insisted on reviewing the evidence in this trial that...

Question: If you killed someone with a weapon that could potentially be traced back to you, and you had both the presence of mind and the time to realize that, would you leave the weapon next to the person you murdered? If the duct tape was the murder weapon, why wasn't it removed from...

The FBI analyst testified that she could not say with absolute certainty that the hair belonged to Caylee. Cadaver dog hits have never been used as evidence in a Florida criminal trial before. The jury was not going to convict someone of murder one because of a belief that dogs are more...

The spectacle has ended. When the sun rises tomorrow, nothing will remain here except the bare ground as it was before, altered only by the trampling of thousands who mistook the criminal justice system for entertainment, who despaired when their own judgment of another person squared poorly...

Post-mortem root banding has never been used as evidence in a Florida criminal trial until the Anthony case. The FBI analyst testified that she could not say with absolute certainty that the hair belonged to Caylee. The jury could reasonably have discounted hair banding as unproven science...

Wow...nice job. Today, ICA learned to beware of "hypotheticals" that strongly approximate the truth.

It could be the same, couldn't it?
