Surprise witness supposedly may testify as early as tomorrow...

[i.b.nora]

It's like the sad parade - you know? Like all the washed up carnies in their poor fitting, tattered and blowsy feathers trying to summon their courage to once again call all the circus lovers to town. I think Sherwood Anderson could have made a novel of this...

I love the imagery that your words conjure up. Thanks.

 

[john's mom]

So now she's going to go on the stand, under oath, and say she lied about the affair? OK, I want her to define 'intimate affair'.....does she mean GA told her secrets? confided in her? is that intimate behavior? Her credibility just went out the window, so it really doesn't matter what she says at this point. Can't we just get the darn trial over with, we saw enough bizzarro-ness for the last 3 years. UGH.

sorry for that mods, have no link to back up what I posted...

This is an effort to discredit George before they put him back on the stand.

Poor George and Cindy. If they're IN court for this testimony, obviously there will be a camera plastered on them for reaction. If they are NOT in court, there will be much speculation about why. No win.

 

[Talina]

I'm really confused about this woman's testimony. She said under oath in her deposition no affair. Now she say she is not happy they used her in their opening statement but yet is now going to be honest in her testimony for the defense and admit there really was an affair. Sounds a bit contradictory to me. If she is mad at the DT, why would she care about all the sudden telling the truth? She's already denied it under oath, why admit it now only to get herself in trouble for lying under oath.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

I wonder how much that testimony is costing ............. someone.

le sigh

 

[camcneishg]

ya know.....if this were to ever be made into a movie....none of it would make any sense!!

 

[passionflower]

ya know.....if this were to ever be made into a movie....none of it would make any sense!!

and a month of a mini series............

 

[cleo612]

Did any of the attorneys on either side ask George any questions about a pool drowning or accident?

Ashton did.

George responded that if that had happened, they would not be sitting there in court that day.

 

[AvalonBlue]

This Vasco Fiasco is going to blow up in their faces. I predict that this noble and fair judge is going to EXPLODE over this. He will not appreciate the DT trying to exploit and denigrate an ex-felon who has turned his life around and paid his dues already. The judge might even recognize the racial implications of having the media plaster this poor man's face all over, while implying he is an evil person somehow and it would 'muddy up' George by association. I really doubt that this judge is going to appreciate that tactic.

And if Baez has no time to get his reports and depos done on time, why bother bringing in a new 'witness' who has ZERO, absolutely ZERO, relevance to this case. He must be really desperate to continue down this dead end road. imoo

Yes, ITA!
And, if I'm remembering correctly, it was Judge Perry who was the presiding judge during Vasco's trial!:rocker:

 

[mobius99]

From what I gleaned about RC is that she went out of her way to ingratiate herself with the Anthonys. Both Cindy and George at first and then she and George got...how should I say it...ummm...close. If I recall, she start showing up at the Caylee tent to keep George company. She has a history too, no? The word grifter comes to mind. JA will open her closet full of skeletons and let the jury judge her credibility. I don't see how she's good for either side....MOO.

 

[Destini]

BBM I totally agree!
Also GA is not on trial here.
RC only has hearsay for testimony.
Also, hello has no fury like a woman scorned!
I want to see CA reactions to GA 'friend'........
I also wonder if GA/CA will allow all this damage to GA to SAVE ICA.

Yes, I wonder if GA/CA will be comforting each other tomorrow.oke:

 

[beach]

I just posted in the news thread about River Cruz interview. I don't expect the judge to be happy tomorrow.

Judge Perry should start checking in at WS before he goes to bed at night so he will at least know WTH to expect the next morning.

BBM It is *very* contradictory. Something stinks really bad. Don't know why but I am thinking of Joy Wray and Laura Buchanan* This is what the DT has been doing these past 3 years. If you can't find authentic witnesses, then you create them. :cow:

* Thanks, Beach! :blowkiss:

 

[Stella5]

sorry for that mods, have no link to back up what I posted...

IIRC she attempted suicide and was hospitalized... a year or so ago maybe?!?!

 

[dog.gone.cute]

<snipped from article>

When first asked by investigators about the affair, Holloway denied it, but now she says she is prepared to tell the truth in court.

River/Crystal said back then that George told her Caylee's death was 'an accident that snowballed out of control.' Jose used the exact phrase verbatim in his OS.

River/Crystal was also with that disturbed young man (wearing the white Casey sunglasses, in front of the Anthony home) who freaked out the day Caylee's remains were found? Who ARE these people?

OMG. Did the Anthony's and JB set this up back then as an alibi????

BBM: :rocker: Yep ... it sounds "VERY HINKY" to me !

 

[Talina]

ya know.....if this were to ever be made into a movie....none of it would make any sense!!

I was telling DH the other day that I don't see how this could be condensed into a 2 hr movie. It would have to be a mini series.

 

[Unsolved]

I didn't follow anything about this River woman.

Here's a little blurb from 2010 to help you :seeya::

There is more information being learned about the backgrounds of the two sisters who have spoken to the tabloid media to claim one had an affair with George Anthony, the father of Casey Anthony, who is charged in the killing of her daughter Caylee.

The two have been using the names River and Skye, and they have talked to the likes of the National Enquirer. They are twins who also have been arrested a number of times.
Cecelia Holloway is also known by another name to publicize her sister's supposed affair with George Anthony: Skye Benhaida. She claims to be the sister of River Cruz, who is also known as Cecelia's 38-year-old twin sister Krystal Holloway.
Cecelia Holloway went on national television on the "Nancy Grace" program to support her sister's story, detailed in the Enquirer on Wednesday, of an affair that the two are claiming Krystal had with George Anthony while his grand-daughter Caylee Anthony was missing. The girl was later found dead.
George Anthony denies an affair, his attorney Brad Conway said.
Cecelia hasn't always been so supportive of Krystal's stories. In a June 2009 letter to a judge handling a domestic battery case against her husband, Cecelia wrote that Krystal lied to police about the incident.
"My sister…(Krystal) … called the police and told them he beat me up," Cecelia wrote. But Cecelia went on to argue that was a lie.
"My sister does not like my husband, there for (sic) I believe is why she had him arrested," Cecelia wrote.
Local 6 also found that Cecelia was in jail from August 2008 to January 2009, the time the two sisters claim the affair was supposedly blossoming.
Local 6 shared that finding on Wednesday with George Anthony's attorney, who had done some investigating of his own.
"It says they are questionable people," Brad Conway said.
The two women also made a joint appearance in another crime report in February 2008 after more than $1,000 in jewelry was stolen from an apartment neighbor of the twins.
The thief who brought jewelry to a pawn shop presented a driver's license with Krystal Holloway's picture on it, but left behind a thumb print on the pawn slip that belonged to Cecelia Holloway, so she's the one who got five months in jail.
In fact, on the day Casey Anthony was being escorted out of jail on Aug. 21, 2008, Cecelia Holloway was being booked there for violating probation on another conviction in Seminole County for dealing in stolen jewelry.
Court records state that both sisters have prior arrest records for attempted burglary of a structure and thefts.

(BTW I have read that they are NOT twins as they claim either :crazy

That cross-exam is going to be entertaining, to say the least. Honestly, I am sitting here with a grin a mile wide right now. lol

I think it will be LDB doing it though. She takes most of the non-experts and I think JA is pretty busy right now...reading reports and deposing folks.

 

[camcneishg]

maybe the DT is just trying to get HCJP to say ENOUGH!! It is OVER....mistrial!! Isn't that what they want?? Well, if they keep going like this....I dunno.......has there ever been an atty that just keeps on and on and on pushing the judges buttons like this??
