It would be great if Jeff Ashton could shed some light about the jury dynamic. This foreperson almost sounds like he had a Svengali like influence on the jury, or he was like the Pied Piper, leading them to their doom. But he probably whined and complained to this motherly-type figure...

I think the jury fell hook line and sinker for Baez' lies about George. The foreperson even said in an interview that they thought George was hinky (paraphrased). And, I can't remember if this came up in the trial, but wouldn't the cell phone pings have been used as evidence as to Casey's...

bbm Kinda ironic because the foreperson is a high school teacher, doing his on-line studies for a master's degree from his hotel room, and he was the one who seemed to have convinced the jurors to go with a not guilty verdict. He was supposedly well-educated, but yet he led the jurors down...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/26/casey-anthony-wants-to-at_n_938064.html] Apparently she has been approved to take on-line courses if she wishes.

Didn't Karla Homolka almost get a pardon from the Canadian government as well? But there was such a huge outcry from the public that it actually didn't happen. I hope the state of Florida or the US doesn't offer pardons to people like Casey. How did Karla end up in the Caribbean-- did the...

They keep repeating that their son is innocent, as if saying it enough will make some people believe it. They seem to imply that the American justice system is backward, and that their "innocent" son Neil would have been found not guilty if tried in England. One thing I noticed in this new...

Seems like all they've got in the appeal was just the recorded sting operation with a false confession defence, and a perhaps ill-chosen comparison made by the prosecutor. There didn't seem to be any new exculpatory evidence presented. Even if the recorded confession and the inflammatory...

agreed. But he better milk it for all it's worth, as fast as he can, because as soon as he doesn't jump through all the Anthony hoops he will be readily replaced by some other pimp lawyer stepping in to go down into the Anthony hall of infamy.

I agree that this jury was incompetent, but couldn't JBP have overturned their decision on the spot if he had wanted to? I think he is being protective of this jury (not wanting to release their names) because he was the one who pushed them through during voir dire. He wanted to get the trial...

Seems like she takes after your side of the family, just like my son takes after my side of the family. He doesn't look at all like my husband or his parents or brothe and sister. Caylee didn't look at all like Casey or George. I'm not a geneticist or a biologist by any stretch of the...

So he takes after your side of the family does he? Same with my child, he doesn't look at all like my husband, but he strikingly looks like my sister. I don't think my sister and I look that much alike, but strangers do. He resembles my side of the family.

How do you know for sure? She had lots of one night stands. Maybe she nor he remember. Maybe he doesn't want to get involved. I read JP's depo and he waffled about the 2007 first initial meeting date (ref. pps. 12 - 13). He said it was "probably" or "possibly" around the summer of 2007...

I agree with you, it's always the needy, demanding, screwed-up one who gets the attention, the extra financial support, the greater understanding and forgiveness. It's hard when you could also use that, but others are too caught up with the screwed-up person to give it to you, and you feel...

I always wondered why the Anthony's didn't go after child support for Caylee. It was some other guy, not Mark, who died. I know there is a huge monster thread devoted to who might be Caylee's real dad, but if you look at a picture of Mark Hawkins, Caylee didn't look at all like him. Mark...

She did try to attempt suicide when all of this first came to media attention: http://drlillianglassbodylanguageblog.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/river-cruz-apologizes-to-dr-lillian-glass-and-supporters-for-her-suicide-attempt/

yes, of all times for California to get soft on crime! They have not shown true remorse, and deserve to rot in prison. These frequent parole hearings are torture for Sharon Tate's one remaining immediate family member. Her mother and sister both fought terminal cancer while trying to keep the...

I saw this case again on tv today, and was intrigued enough to do some follow-up. The two Canadian 18 years old boys, Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns, were committed to life in prison without parole for the mid 1990's killing of the family of Atif Rafay. The family was killed to collect insurance...

When I looked at Casey who was watching her mother fall to pieces on the stand, I thought I saw a glint of triumph and satisfaction in her eyes. She tilted her head up and to the side and seemed smug, even though she had her eyebrows furrowed with supposedly wet eyes. I think she was actually...

When Karla Homolka finished her sentence, she got lots of help to get a job and settle into another city from the Elizabeth Fry society and her mother. Even though she had helped to rape and kill three schoolgirls, including her own little sister, she was able to find a man to support her and...

Yes, I had forgotten about him trying to set up or frame his neighbour. What a creepy coward Williams is. Apparently one of his sex assault victims told the police that the person who attacked her had a voice similar to this innocent neighbour. There is speculation that Williams deliberately...
