NANCY GRACE Friday 10/10/08

[TxLady2]

I am just catching up with the thread and it has probably been answered but I loved the comment and I'm happy SS reiterated it:blowkiss: It got me laughing.


What the guy meant was simply that it is considered relatively easy to get an indictment. Those who work in the legal system are not awestruck by it...it's not cause for congrats!!! or Wow!!!super job. I mean think about it...it is the prosecution working unopposed. Quite often it is the less experienced prosecutors who put cases through the grand jury. The rules of evidence are not followed, there is no opposing counsel, and by law, there is no public audience. if they make a mistake, it is behind closed doors. It's as low pressure as it gets in criminal justice.

Sometimes, it can be embarrassing if a prosecutor doesn't get the indictment. After all, if you lose, nobody even beat you. You lost without opposition. :blush:
Hence the saying, you can indict a ham sandwich....as in it aint that hard.
:blowkiss:

That being said, it will be huge cause for celebration when Casey is indicted. (Nothing about this case is normal).
I predict an inordinate amount of HIGH FIVES! :highfive: iykwim...

Did you notice the attorney the other night who said she had been given several "no bills?" NG was surprised and said she had never had any no bills.
IMO, if a DA puts a case before the GJ and it is handed down a no bill, then he/she must not have had a very good case to start with... no evidence to speak of. I don't think that will be the case this time... I think this one will definitely be an indictment. Only thing I'm worried about is that they said Tues. was this GJ's last day... how are they going to hear the entire thing in one day, UNLESS they have some slam-dunk evidence that we don't know about!

Do you know if they hand down an indictment on Tues, will LE immediately go and arrest Casey, or are there other things that have to happen before they can take her in?

Not to worry. They are given statutory power to simply extend the term of the Grand Jury that is sitting. i.e. They have no expiration date:crazy:
From what I've seen, I have to agree with you Tx. One would really have to have nada zilch to fail to get an indictment/true bill.

One of the biggest 'bombshells' in this case, for me, was when Cindy A. made reference to her missing "GRANDSON!" HOW can WE forget she said that? She only has ONE grandchild..there is no way in hell that she just 'slipped' on that......when I heard her say "grandson" I almost had a heart attack! There is something BIG behind that 'slip'.....you'll see....................

Wow, I missed that. Which interview? TIA!

I'm impressed you noticed the make up--I can't see past the mullet hairstyle.

According to Natisha Lance, there was no reason for KC to be in court, but she is elated with the outcome. (Let's check back with KC's mood status after the GJ)

LP is on.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

I'm glad someone else said that and not me! I usually just listen to her, because if I watch the TV I focus on her hair. I know, talking about her hair has nothing to do with the case, but I can't help it.

She doesn't irritate as much as some reporters do though.

 

[tiredofthis]

I keep wondering if her saying squirrels were hit by and splattered under the car could mean she hit Caylee with the car. I dunno- this little bit of truth stuff is hard to figure out sometimes LOL

Maybe she backed over her and then freaked. It still doesn't explain the chloroform searches though, unless she was using it for something else.

Partly bolded by me. My husband said this exact same thing last night (retired LE). He said if they go before the GJ and don't get an indictment, then they have a pretty crappy case as far as evidence. He said most cases that go before them are strong and get the indictment. And he said the "atmosphere" is much different than a regular jury hearing, but I'm not going to expand on that :crazy: I told him he better be right, or I will never forgive him for getting my hopes up.

I hope she doesn't have someone else filling for her tonight, it's just never the same without NG's biting commentaries!

I saw yeterday's NG show and for a change, enjoyed it. The discussions were interesting and in no small part, because NG wasn't there. She's the worst. I don't think her comments are interesting at all, or biting.


When Nancy is there, it seems as if the Casey Anthony case is secondary to Nancy. Then, it's never really objectively about the case, but how Nancy is subjectively offended by the case. Not that Nancy isn't entitled to her opinions, but she's unable to demonstrate her emotions without interfering with the objective analysis of the case.

 

[pizmex]

I never heard Cindy say anything about " My missing grandson ".
Is there a link somewhere?

And even if she did, so what? With all the legitimate things to criticize about this family, I wouldn't make a big deal about that supposed slip. Speaking in public isn't as easy as it appears, especially with national tv cameras in your face.

With all that there is, I never ever doubted Cindy's love for Caylee.

I never heard this. When did she say it?

Well I have. When listening to her interviews with LE she keeps playing games. She played along with Casey having a job. Why the bu!!****ting? Why not just say she didn't realize Casey had not been working and let's figure out what she had been doing. Cindy did not do that.

With all the media attention none of the Anthony's made use of that to ask the alleged kidnapper to bring Caylee back. Don't you find that strange? Cindy blamed the media and the public at large for not searching for Caylee. There was never "She's just a little girl. She needs us. We miss her. Please bring her back to us." In the LE interview Cindy said "Caylee was our life."

I have a grandchild and I know that kind of love. I can tell you with 100% certainty that if something happened to him and my son had any involvement at all or knew anything there would not be any of these games and double speak coming from me. I would work with LE and talk to all of his friends - Where was he? When did you see him last? Who was he with? When did you last see my grandbaby?

LE asked Cindy for the credit card records. She refused. Cell phone records she claims to have but won't reveal. WTH is wrong with this woman? She has an entire police force, the FBI and Texas Equusearch at her door to help her and she hinders them at every turn. Love for Caylee? Not all that evident to me.

I never thought about that with all the MEDIA............Please bring my grandbaby home.................. that would have been my first words...not covering up the KC BS................If GA would have pleaded those words at first instead of months later THAT IS NOT MY DEAD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE TRUNK............ I might have a little more sympathy for the family... too little too late...............

I remember her saying that, I just figured she made an honest mistake, with stress and perhaps meds she is on, who knows. But why are you talking in riddles, so many people talking in riddles, either you know something and just say it, or don't bring it up. I'm not just pointing you out AngelCaylee, believe me, I'm just sick of talking in riddles period. Sorry for my rant.
