I have missed most of the day - hopefully I can catch up fast.....just wanted to say hello to everyone.
To the defense: You can't impeach an expert about his expert opinion unless you have another expert who came to a different conclusion.
Not sure why this is so hard to figure out . . . it seems if the defense asked if he could replicate the test, why can't Ashton ask more about that?

Does anyone think Simms caused this problem, asking questions that almost opened the door for the State, because she is not used to the nuances of a criminal trial?
I just heard Sunny Hostin on HLN asking why didn't the defense just embrace the body in the trunk and say George put her there.
I've said that and wondered why they didn't do so all this time, too. Neither side can prove who put Caylee in the trunk and even though it's pretty absolutely clear that Casey put Caylee's body there, her defense could still have been that it was George who did it. The defense wouldn't have to ineptly hammer away with one nervous, ill prepared expert after another.
At least, that's the way I feel after having to take excedrin every day now.
Even though I'm of the opinion that Caylee died as a result of an accident, I also believe that the "accident" was a form of negligence and/or abuse caused by Casey's complete lack of putting Caylee's safety and needs first.
I think about little Caylee Marie Anthony every time I watch this trial or read about it. Her death is heartbreaking. She deserved a chance to grow up and live her life. God bless her soul.
Possible mistrial? Someone please explain.
