Casey's Last Night At Home Tomorrow can't come fast enough

[Deputy Andy]

"This has been a very dysfunctional family for a long time and it is a shame that it had to come to this to this and be in front of all the public to see."

I have read this entire thread, and I believe you are probably the only one who feels somewhat like I do. I'm prepared to get screamed at here, but it's JMO. So many things break my heart about this case. Of course, Caylee being possibly deceased, is my main heartbreak.

I cannot help but feel how much of all this falls on Cindy's shoulders. WHY did she not get help for Casey a long time ago? As soon as the narcassism began or the lying. I can't imagine that you know in your heart that your child has a mental disorder, and choice to ignore it.

Next, when your young, pregnant daughter tells you that she does not want to keep the baby, does it make sense to force her to keep the baby? Look at the consequences. Why didn't Cindy tell Casey she and George would adopt Caylee when she was born, if Casey still wanted to adopt her out?

It saddens me that a 22 year old may face the rest of their life in prison, or face the DP. God created everyone of us in His likeness, and I can't help but feel some compassion for Casey when I think of what she faces. Could Cindy have prevented all this pain and agony for all of them by just being a good mother. So many lives destroyed and it all could have been prevented. In some ways I almost feel Casey is also a victim in this too.

If Casey hadn't been bonded out in the beginning, she may have told where Caylee is by now. How many hardened criminals with a lot of experience in crime have been worn down when LE drilled them day in and day out. Casey is incapable of feeling and where did this start? I don't believe you are born this way.

Thanks for posting this. As I read through this thread this morning I was a little shocked at the anger and judgment expressed by most people here. I am an atheist. I do not believe in any god, and I have the tattoo to prove it. (It helps when anyone tries to "convert" me.) I am not going to make judgments here, I'm only trying to express my feelings - so, for all of you (and there are so many) who profess to believe in a god, don't you think he/she/it would be a little angry for your judgment of the A family? Of course I am not condoning what CA probably did, and yes, the whole situation has angered me as well, but I think some of these posts are truly mean. I say let LE handle it and allow yourselves to feel love and peace within. Justice will prevail.

While I hate to be a buzz kill remember they can still bond her out on the murder charge.:furious:

Not if they indict her for murder 1. There is no bond on that. Manslaughter, maybe... but it will be something like a million dollars. I don't think any bond company will want to risk that much money, due to the flight risk.

OT, but I thought the GJ was comprised of members of the legal community? If so, why is CA worried that the media will contaminate the GJ? Wouldn't they be trained to only look at the facts presented to them?
I figured since you were on one you'd know best

Not necessarily members of the legal community. A lawyer CAN serve on a grand jury but it can also consist of ordinary citizens. I have a cousin who has served on a GJ, and she is a teacher.

There are so many "victims" in all this....including Casey.

Why was it when Caylee was born she was handed to Cindy first?

Casey is not a victim....no amount of pain and sorrow in a person's past gives them the right to murder...especially an innocent and defenseless child....

Not all Christians have this hate for the family, some of us still have some compassion for them. I believe they are in a living hell, but I don't blame them entirely for Casey's actions... she is an adult. I also don't blame them for holding on to hope as long as they can, nor do I judge their reasons for protecting Casey. And I believe they loved Caylee with all their heart.
I am angry with them, esp. Cindy, for the things they've said and done throughout this nightmare... yet I try to understand their thinking because if I were going through it, God knows I would be a total wreck by now and probably locked up in a padded cell, banging my head against the wall day and night. And I also realize that it would be very difficult... if not impossible... to turn your back on your child, no matter what they had done.
Also... one last thing I keep in mind. Caylee loved her grandparents, esp. Cindy... and I think she would be very upset if she knew the mean and hateful things people have said about them.

 

[TxLady2]

Sorry everyone I was wrong, tomorrow night will probably be her last night. From this law it must go in front of the trial court first and then she is apprehended and arrested. So she has two nights.

Once the grand jury files the indictment, called the "grand jury original," with the trial court, the accused is apprehended and arrested if he or she was not already arrested at the scene of the crime. If the defendant has already been arrested, he or she continues to be detained and must face further criminal proceedings. The next step after the grand jury indictment is the initial hearing where the prosecutor decides if there is enough evidence to file formal charges with the trial courts.[/QUOTE]

If the GJ votes to indict her, that's it.. they will charge her and arrest her immediately. No need for another hearing to decide if there is enough evidence... that's what the GJ is for.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying here.. that she has to go before a trial court before she is arrested. If they hand down a true bill... an indictement... then the only time she has to appear in court is for an arraignment... formal charges before the judge. She would already be in police custody at that point. NG says she would be arrested immediately upon the GJ's decision if it is a true bill.

Question .... if she is indicted by the GJ, does LE have the option of holding off on filing official charges? For instance, if a true bill is handed down, does LE have to arrest her immediately or can they hold off? I was wondering about this because once they file charges, the clock starts ticking.

 

[Bobby62]

I hope and pray Caylee comes to her tonight as she sleeps in her nice soft bed, head on her pillow and whispers to her, sleep well mama. I hope she haunts her last days of freedom, and then I hope she haunts her every night and day until she dies. I truly hate this woman. May Justice be served for Caylee!

After Casey is convicted, Big Shauniqua, Big Consuelo, And Big Betty Joe will take over this job.

KC? The one who may have killed a helpless two-year old baby? The alledged killer is a victim? Did somebody FORCE KC to do it?

I think you'll have to ask CA and KC why CA was the first to pick Caylee up.

IIRC, they will arrest her immediately if she is indicted.

Wait...I found the answer:

11:18 a.m.: Thanks to all who are posting comments and asking questions. Here are some answers to what several are asking:
/ If the grand jury hands up a true bill to indict, it is likely Casey Anthony would be arrested immediately. She also would be arrested before we all get news of what exactly is in the indictment. It is keep sealed until the person indicted is arrested.

It's likely that a number of us would not get into their position, in the first place. This because we would not enable one of our children in her years-long habit of lying and lawbreaking. Many of us would, if she stole, let her get arrested and sit in jail. No bail outs, no covering up. In that way she would learn that she had to obey the law, and that she is responsible for the consequences of her actions.

Some of us, knowing that she is irresponsible, would have sought to take custody of the baby. Many of us would have taken action to check on the baby BEFORE a month had been allowed to pass.

That being said... if a child of mine killed a baby, I would turn her in, myself. Because if she could kill her own baby and then go out and party, then no one is safe from her.

I am not sorry for any of the adults who are trying to keep KC out of jail. I am sorry for the one who will never grow up to BE an adult.

BTW-- My guess is that the baby would want to be decently buried, rather than just flung out in the woods, somewhere. Do you suppose her family has considered that?

 

[Brini]

Did you hear what a reported yelled at KC, as she left her meeting yesterday? She yelled, "KC, are you afraid of the death penalty?"

I would love to see the look on Casey's face when that was asked...

My guess is that God is a good deal angrier that a helpless two-year old baby's life was snuffed out. Particularly if her body was then tossed away like so much garbage. And, if the familty was trying to cover up the crime, and let the killer go free, to perhaps do it again.

MOO

I'm not religious, but I have read the Bible. It says something like, "Whomever harms one of these (children), it were better that he was thrown into the sea with a millstone around his neck." That's a paraphrase.

God's anger lasts but a moment, and His compassion a lifetime. He has compassion on Casey and He will forgive her if she comes to Him for forgiveness.

I understand what you are saying, truly I do, but it is a little hard to feel love and peace when the entire Anthony family is doing absolutely nothing to find Caylee. It is difficult to feel peace when she wasn't reported missing for 31 days and it is almost impossible to feel love when you think about all of the lies and half-truths that have come out of KC's mouth in the past few months.

I wish I could feel love and peace right now. I know it would be better for my blood pressure if I did.

Could we stay on topic, pretty please? I actually don't know Tricia's policy on religious debates, what god thinks and so on, but I'm 99% certain they don't belong on this thread....

Sorry. I wasn't debating the religious aspect of the post, but stating that it is difficult to stay calm throughout this case.
