As if. Snerk.

I am just curious as to whether any of you feel this is an actual well-thought-out plan on the As part, or just media-ho'in'. As in, "If we continue to go on television and pretend we think there is no evidence, maybe other people will start to believe it, too"? Or if she is still actually in that much denial?

I think it's more like they need money.

eta ps: snerk :biglaugh:

TIME OUT!!!!!!!!!

TIME OUT FOR ME!!!!!!! I DARE NOT SAY ONE WORD OR I WILL BE BANNED.

i. cant. take. it.

They are driving me INSANE.

(back later when i have calmed down)

I had to do that this morning. I literally had to leave WS, the computer and go do something constructive. Had breakfast, some caffeine, cleared my head (didn't sleep well last night). Came back a little calmer. I can deal with this circus again. :clown:

 

[Krisy]

The only thing that points to KC is that she didn't report her daughter missing for 31 days. I HATE THAT!!! CA she didn't report her missing, YOU DID!!! What about the smell in the car? Do you really believe that was a dead squirell? They need to stay home and not talk anymore, they are not helping KC. If CA didn't find KC, we still wouldn't know that Caylee was missing. Oh please, just make THEM stop!!!

I totally agree.

PLUS she acts as if it's normal to NOT report your child missing for a month. :banghead:

 

[songline]

In George's interview he seems to be more concerned with what will happen to Casey once she is in general population. As if he knows she is guilty.

OMHO that is precisely why they cleaned up, MOO
and are standing behind her.

 

[Intermezzo]

not exact but as close as I can get typing quickly:

CA: difficult to hear but I could see KC's face on the monitor. difficult to watch

GA: difficult to sit there. Ashton so descriptive. hard to take

Meredith: why no visits?

CA: hope Strickland will allow them to do so (???)
on video
she's so picked apart. she's just picked apart. that's her child. (meaning Caylee is KC's child)

Cindy hopes Judge Strickland will allow them to visit Casey????? Did she really say this RUBBISH?
Judge Strickland has never prohibited the A's from visiting Casey.

The A's ARE ALLOWED to visit Casey if they chose to do so. Casey/Baez then can accept or deny the visit. No one else is prohibiting the visits.

:twocents:

Revised..Okay I listened to the interview..Cindy does admit that they have been ADVISED not to visit Casey.

 

[Crabcake23]

One little word makes all the difference. Here it is the use of the word "in". Instead of saying "We believe Casey..." they are saying "We believe IN Casey...".

Very carefully chosen words.

This is a wonderful example of the power of a two letter word. One little word can make or break a contract.


IMO

Very interesting observation.

 

[Mamabear1963]

well there is 7 minutes of my life I'm not gonna get back. when will I learn?

I was thinking the same thing...but some how I am drawn to it like a magnet...

 

[LaLaw2000]

Well.

IMO, the only good thing that came from this interview is having shown Ashton and what he said at the hearing. Then of course, there was Casey's request to Andrea to "make him stop", and her response of, "I can't." I appreciated the playing of that.

Cindy said she had to leave the courtroom during Ashton's description of what happened with Caylee. IIRC, I think George got up and left, then Cindy followed.

George and Cindy both spoke more softly than they usually do. I hope this is not the beginning of a Sympathy Tour for Casey, or was it that they like to do their Christmas shopping in New York?

If Casey, George, and Cindy cannot bear to listen to what the State has to say in the motion hearings, then there will be big drama during the trial. None of the three want to hear what happened to Caylee and so much will come out during the trial. I see any one of the three, or maybe ALL three being held in contempt of court during opening arguments because they do not want to hear what Caylee went through and that their daughter being accused of it.

The Anthony's need to go home, sit down, and SHUT UP!

MOO

Richard Hornsby Reply to the above question:

I think he was referring to the Byrd and Melanie Billings case (Newsweek Article Link) in the panhandle.

In that case the judge would not allow the release of the of the Billings surveillance camera; I believe this is because it showed the actual murder. However, he did let the media view the video at the State Attorney's Office and report on what they saw - just not replay it.

With that said, it is like comparing apples (jail visits) with oranges (video of a murder).

Regardless, I have no sympathy for the Anthonys. Everyone seems to have overlooked one simple fact - they are free to visit her whenever they want, they choose not to.

Finally, I would point out that Judge Strickland did seal the video of Casey's reaction. So I think the cases are being treated similarly.

The A's are free to schedule a visit with Casey.
Casey can accept or deny the visit.

But that's all part of their little media tours. It's always spin, spin, spin. They are hoping the "average Joe" who doesn't follow this case like we do will hear this bs and think what a horrible injustice this all is that they can't visit their poor suffering innocent little girl in jail.

Blech. Makes me want to vomit.

 

[Searchfortruth]

This is about tainting the jury pool, Cindy, George and Brad are working for the defense. I guess these appearances are something we can expect everytime the state produces evidence, documents that paint Casey in a guilty light. Everything they do and say, publicly, is for the defense.

They should be on Jose's payroll with all of the spin they have provided for Team Casey.

They KNOW Casey is guilty, they have known it for a long time.

 

[dsntslp]

I will go look for the proper thread to put this in but has any one else realized this...

If Baez were to get visitation with no video taping he could take his laptop and Casey could talk to her parents through the internet.

No, I do not think his motion will succeed to stop the taping of visitation but they fought hard to get that laptop in there for more than one reason, IMO.

ETA: If the camera is facing Casey's back and Baez is across from her the camera would show his laptop screen if he turned it around for Casey to see.

 

[affinity]

I was glad to see that the interviewer (Meredith) asked one strong question!

She made a statement/question along the lines of "everything points to Caylee's death being caused by Casey..do you accept that?" What a relief from the other namby-pamby interviewer who never stated anything or asked anything "so bold".

Naturally, the A's were able to artfully dodge around the question as always....they rival Clinton with his famous "it depends on what the definition of "is" is!"

On another note, CA didn't look different as she did in the hearing. Today she looked like her old self, mostly. This family has traded a lot on their perceived looks...and looks are such a key issue to this case..if you think about it, if KC were very unattractive there would not be the amount of attention on this case. No way.

But doesn't keeping the case in the public eye seem to do the opposite? It seems people would start researching if they don't know about it?

If everyone remained quiet, then the case would go forward with many forgetting about it by the time it comes to trial.

Seems to me, if I were the Anthony family, I would just be quiet now. The lawyers could do the same really, and focus on trial prep not paid interviews or unpaid publicity. JMO.

[Just Jayla]

Brad expects Strickland to block the tapes

GA: I don't believe my daughter could hurt anyone. I don't believe Cindy or I could bring anyone into this world who could hurt someone else.

CA: I can't accept what I'm saying because I don't believe they've done a full investigation. No evidence ties KC except that she didn't report her daughter missing.

Red BBM-So, I know CA has covered a lot in the past, but this one seems parroted-from KC's attorneys.
CA can go with this one easily, as she is already predetermined to do:

-The FBI report does not make clear issues with the duct tape mismatch report. But it only took Valhall a few minutes here to discover that the mismatch was only a cotton thread, which easily could have degraded by the time they found Caylee. However, CA may not be up to date on Valhall's brilliance, she just knows that the FBI said no match in their last report. AL underscored this on Friday, saying there is no proof the tape matched.

-CA already doubted the cadaver dogs and said that science is not always accurate, early on in all of this. Now she has JB and AL to reiterate that the OakRidge lab air tests are not reliable and even have to pass muster at a special hearing.

-Though CA knew where Caylee's body was and sent DC there, she is aware that Kronk is being pointed at, and that a key defense strategy is that KC cannot be placed at the crime scene.

It just seems like she is playing coy, a little, like an attorney might do....Making literal statements and playing off of technicalities. She will feel comforted that KC's attorneys are looking through the same skewed lens, and I think she will begin to parrot whatever they say.

 

[Amity]

CA's face is frozen. She can barely move her lips to speak.

Please Mods, I am not being snarky or making fun of .....if you've read my posts over the years, you'll see that's not my style.

But now that I see you've brought this up, SuziQ, I want to respond because it's been on my mind since I saw the interview.
Because of what must be the worst stress in the world this last year and a half for any Grandparent......has CA lost so much weight, just in her face, that the weight loss has totally distorted her features?

OR: was she trying really hard to keep her lips together in hopes of not blurting out something she shouldn't?

I'm being serious here...something was definitely off with CA's mouth and cheekbones.....I immediately thought of Barbara Walters mouth and cheekbones when I saw CA at the beginning of the interview.

I'm nowhere near a body language expert so I was just curious, other opinions......just wondered if it was stress/lack of eating or was she trying hard to hold her mouth closed for fear of saying something she shouldn't?

 

[coco puff]

How does BC just sit there and let this happen? How does Meredith get away with not asking one follow-up question to Cindy’s inane Reponses? Is it really worth the reputation of these professionals to let two self-indulgent-pathological- liar- parents- of- a- murderer say whatever they wish to on national TV and get paid to do it? Even Brad said in earlier interviews that he sees NO WAY KC could NOT be involved with Caylee’s demise in some way. I HATE that they think we are stupid enough to buy into any of this.

I hear ya but I think there are many people out there who don't do the extra research and delve into the subject further. They just accept what they see and hear on the surface and make their minds up from that.

I agree with you that they really should just stop. But I think they're in a fight to save face and won't stop anytime soon.

 

[dsntslp]

CA: "I can't accept what I'm saying because..."

She doesn't even believe what she is saying herself?

IMO
