Source? Both news stories I saw about it said nobody saw it, they just know that it happened because of the burn on the bark. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/07/lightning-strikes-tree-near-caylee-anthony-memorial-site/ "No one saw lightning strike the pine tree on Suburban Drive in Orange...

No, that refers to being dependent on the decedent. So, if the grandparents were killed, Caylee could have sued, since she was dependent on them for support. It doesn't work the other way around. The grandparents were not dependent on Caylee for support.

Nobody can go after her in a civil suit. Nobody would have standing to sue Casey for Caylee's death. Only "survivors" can sue. Grandparents and unwed fathers do not have standing. Florida Statute section 768.18: "Survivors" means the decedent's spouse, children, parents, and, when partly or...

He could not have changed the verdict if he wanted to. He could only have changed it if they convicted her. A judge can NEVER change an acquittal.

She received time served. A source

Yes! When he turned the verdict over to the clerk, he looked disgusted. I'm sure he was entirely proper in private. It would be very inappropriate for him to express anything regarding the verdict.

To file a wrongful death civil suit, you must have standing. In Florida, the wrongful death statute does not give the grandparents standing to sue: Florida Statute section 768.18: "Survivors" means the decedent's spouse, children, parents, and, when partly or wholly dependent on the...

I don't think this would ever be allowed in this case. I would guess that religion was at issue in the cases where it was permitted. It has NEVER been an issue in this case. But Baez is dumb enough to try.

Unless the buzz is coming from the jurors I think it's pointless. Nobody knows what the jury is thinking (if they're following their oath) or what they're going to do.

I don't think it's money, I think it's ego. Baez is not getting rich of this case, but his ego is getting filled.

:waitasec: Isn't this Geraldo telling us what he saw? Wouldn't that be direct evidence?

Recusal is when the judge has to remove himself from the case due to a conflict of interest. There's a wikipedia article on "judicial disqualification" if you're interested.

This is EXACTLY what I think happened. I can think of no other reason for the very odd series of events: Mason asking for the sidebar and his seeming reluctance to do so; Baez' reactions - he's always so smug, not today; Casey going back in chambers; chambers without the prosecution; chambers...

I don't think he had anything to take to them. It seems like there is something very odd going on between the Anthonys and the defense. The direct examinations were far too smooth to have been unscripted or unpracticed, in my opinion. I suspect that they all may have gone to the defense to...

You have to get them from the court, and they're incredibly expensive.

Does anybody have any news articles about the Florida death penalty court ruling? I searched online and found NOTHING.

Is Casey charged with Felony Murder? I have heard this theory talked about, but in her indictment the murder charge is under Florida Statute 782.04(1)(a)(1) (premeditated murder). The felony murder theory, and specifically for aggravated child abuse, is Florida Statute 784.04(1)(a)(2)(h). This...
