[Eileen730]

I think she had a lot of emotions when she dumped Caylee but none of them were remorse or sadness or love....they were more of the oh **** i better not get caught variety

I think maybe Reality paid her a visit!

Something she is not used tooo!

 

[katydid23]

She is a skilled Con artist, she has spent years manipulating people,and all she has to do is con one or two of those Jurors with this fake display of emotion....

That is always a concern, but i think the prosecution did a great strategic maneuver upfront in this trial. They put on 5 solid hours of Casey's lies and manipulations and ugly behavior towards those who she 'loved.' The jury had a good dose of her and they were reportedly riveted to their little screens. So they will not be easily fooled by her histrionics, imo.

And even if they do see her crying, big deal. It goes against the 'theme' and theory behind her defense---she partied because she cannot grieve normally.

So all of these belated tears work against their explanation for the 31 days of ugly coping.

I have to say that this part of the defense theory just blew my mind. If it were my child and I had found them in full rigor, even knowing all the things that I know, there would be no way in this world that I would not have still called 911 and would have been attempting CPR until they got there. But then I would do anything in the world to save my child, even if that meant trying to bring them back from the dead.

Well, I've said this before,but that's pretty much what happened when my son died. Husband never gave up and I'm sure it was horrific. it's impossible to just let your child go.
I told a story of a family I knew as a child.Their 2 year old was backed over in the driveway by a delivery truck.What stuck with me all these years was the story told around school about what the mom did immediately after. She placed the child's head back (sorry) on and held him. She fixed him. You just can't process right away that your child is dead.
I asked the dr to keep working on James. To stop trying was unfathomable to me.I can still picture the drs shoes as he told me.

Casey was just mimicking what she saw Cindy do on the stand. That was Casey's performance. Casey had to try and outdo Cindy don't you know. I am so depressed and sickened by Casey Anthony, all I could do was watch the trial today.

THAT'S IT! I remember saying something about it, if KC would learn a new acting skill from CA! You have it, she added on the down on the table, ball hand up to mouth, then ill.

Don't give yourself a time out unless you just want one. We love having you here. :therethere: :blowkiss:

 

[legalmania]

Born and raised here and have no problem with it - been drinking it my whole life..

Have you ever held your glass up to the light? I always saw things floating around.

 

[21merc7]

Can anyone tell me if ICA used ANY tissues during this cry for me ICA session today?

I was not able to watch much today, but I did have my iPhone streaming WFTV audio. People in Lowes weren't impressed though.

I think we counted to 3 and all were dry, just wrinkled and folded.

 

[logicalgirl]

:dramaqueen:

This is crazy how she has managed to manipulate the entire proceeding! She is not sick! :gavel:

She is probably sitting in her cell, enjoying her afternoon off! :furious:

I am being serious here for a minute.

You know, this is probably tough slogging for her. This is a woman who has been in pretty much isolation every day for the past three years. Now all of a sudden, there is not napping, no hanging around day dreaming and doing whatever being bored out of her mind, she is forced to be here six days a week and face the realities of what she created.

No reason for the fake-out today or whatever it was, but this can't be fun everyday.

Not that I think she should be having fun of course....

 

[Dr.Fessel]

Her attorney told a journalist she has never seen the pictures before today. And she didn't today either.

We have no reason to trust her Attorney's word.

 

[websurfer]

I did see this attack coming.
I'm "getting tired" of her antics.
I think it was a fake attack, even if it isn't...I think she will have to get through this somehow..
she did not cry or look for Caylee for 31 days now she does this?

 

[Bittiness39]

I am so TOTALLY ticked off right now: Trial excused for the day because Casey is ill. Where was this FAUX illness during the 31 days? She now has feelings? Really? WTF and TruTV mostly, with their panel is faux smart...meaning...I shudder at how these people operate at their homes. "A light switch goes on and off." Response from TruTv: "Hmmmm....I guess...well I guess...okay...but not to be definitive...is it just the up and down deal...? Cuz I may need you on standby for the up and down...how does it work again?"

 

[Wise Old Owl]

If she follows her pattern of inventing bigger and better lies each time she finds herself trapped, we should see something even more dramatic next time.

Maybe she'll take herself hostage with one of Jose's power cords.

You're right. Last time, during jury selection, it was her hand - she rubbed it and rubbed it and was then escorted out of the courtroom. So, today had to be better, and viola - she's "ill". I personally don't see her maintaining throughout this entire trial - she is going to loose it - whether in front of the judge and jury or during a recess doesn't matter. And that's why I so want her to take the stand! I really hope she does.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

You know, I considered that, but it seems as though it would have happened rather quickly -- not just hanging around like an ominous raincloud...

I am trying to double quote this...your response to the message regarding ICA reliving the smell of decomp, etc.

I truly believe that is what happened today. Have you ever gotten sick from eating something. Months later if you think about that food, it makes you sick at your stomach? I've done that.

I can only imagine what I would feel like if I had to re-live stuffing my daughter's rotting corpse into plastic bags and heaving them into the woods.

Yeah, she had one of those mini packs - the close up showed the tissue was dry. She did keep poking herself in the eye trying to squeeze some moisture out but I saw nothing.

OMG now I am bawling for you all over again.....

 

[reeseeva]

Just caught back up here, and if this question has been posed, my apologies, But, when the ME and Jeff A., were referring to "the" skull, "the" matted hair, etc., WHY didn't they say her skull, or in Jeff Ashton's case Caylee's, each time a part of discussion was referenced? I think Caylee's name should have been said, EVERYTIME they spoke of her remains. Referencing "the skull" etc., is so impersonal and irreverent to her as an individual human being.

If she does, I assure you not one thing will get done around this house until she steps down or is carried out screaming.

Jee Anthony at CAYLEE's memorial:


"CMA...CMA....CMA

I am so proud of you

I hope your proud of me...."


right. i will believe him when cows fly.

I will never understand these statements. IMO he's a "drama king". Anyway I look at it, it doesn't make sense to me. What the h*** was he trying to get across?

 

[Cher352]

I think the illness was suggested by her defense team.

Either they need time to plan their cross of these witnesses or they are trying to throw off the SA's timing. I say timing because most lawyers like to leave the jury with a very strong impression before their day(s) off. Now the SA will be off by 2 hrs come Sat.

 

[What'sThatClue]

Re LA's testimony today regarding ICA's second story she told him about the day in Blanchard Park when "Zanny" told her she wasn't a good mother, etc....it soooo reminded me of things I've read that CA said to her or others. I mean, wasn't CA thinking about filing for custody at one point, thus 'taking' Caylee away from ICA? Perhaps that's where ICA came up with the story and just ascribed it to Zanny.

If ICA is really ill (and I doubt it), JMO it's only because she realizes, finally realizes, that she's toast and will be up for the needle.

Dr. Lillian Glass has already got her impressions up for today, and she says ICA was NOT crying. She's got a number of images showing ICA dabbing at her cheek with a flat tissue, but she points out that ICA's mouth was in a tight -lipped show of anger. She points out that there were no tears whatsoever.
