What did we learn today 7-04-2011

[scorekeeper]

I learned that prayers are answered. Caylee's voice was heard today, loud and strong, thanks so much to the Prosecution team!!

:angel: :tyou:

I also learned that the Prosecution has proven their case way beyond reasonable doubt...they made me cry....they pulled it all together in a neat package with a big purple bow!!

Now, we pray for the jury to bring "justice for Caylee" :angel:

I thought that was Bella Velveeta. :giggle: (Somebody said that the other day.)

Heh, someone, not me, said it and I changed ICA's tattoo to say Bella Velveeta. You can barely see it in my avatar.

I learned there are some interesting people in the State of Florida (no offense to the Floridians here). Check out this clip --

Crowds Pack Downtown Orlando For Casey Verdict

Have you ever noticed, and this comment is NOT directed to the folks in that video... that like supports like? Certainly there are people of all ages, incomes and from all walks of life, that think ICA (or anyone else for that matter) is innocent, or if guilty, does not deserve ANY penalty. But in my long life, I have noticed that people who are scofflaws or criminals themselves, support others like themselves. Just my observation. However, I am not a chemist.

I learned Linda is awesome under pressure and knocked it out of the park. I was thrilled she got to do rebuttal today versus last night.

I noticed that, that's hysterical! :silly:

I posted this on yesterdays thread on accident, due to not looking at the dates on the threads, so I am moving it here.

I have learned that I am much more compassionate and empathetic than I ever thought I was. For three years now I have thought I was waiting for Casey to be convicted and that I would be happy about it. Now, no matter what the verdict is, it is all just so very sad, so, so very sad. Yes, Casey deserves to be punished, I do think she is guilty. George, Cindy, Lee and extended family members will all surely pay the rest of their lives as well. The family of the incarcerated pays almost as much as the convict themselves.

No matter what the verdict is I am sure to be sad and not delighted as I have long expected. Yes, Casey's family may have done some things that I would count as wrong and would never do myself but there is no happy ending here. No way to 'make things right'. This entire group of family and friends have to live with the verdict.

I find no happiness in a verdict of guilty or not guilty, only sadness. The realization of that shocks me.

ETA: The sadness I feel for Caylee and her life being cut short at such an early age is a 'given' so there is no need to expound on that.

 

[PaperTigers]

I'm probably very much alone in this, but I've learned that all this is so very sad. No verdict will bring that beautiful, precious little girl back, nothing will ever make it right again for the Anthony family, ICA will likely never see New York, or visit another country, or ever again go Christmas shopping....etc. Don't shoot me, I know that little Caylee should've had the right to do all those things too, and I know that ICA deserves whatever penalty she gets. But I still feel very sad about it all, and wish the clock could be turned back three and a bit years ago and a different path taken.

Maybe its time I went to bed, its 3.30am here.

:seeya:

That's what I've always thought too. Not only sadness for Caylee's death but sadness for Casey who threw her life away because of a bad choice.

While we wait for verdict...

I agree so much dntslp. There is so much sadness, for so many reasons in just about everything related to this case. Casey is toxic, and has brought so much grief to so many.

This question isn't just for you Tuffy but for anyone reading this thread. Do you think KC was born mentally out of whack or was she made mentally out of whack by her parents?

My opinion is that she was made this way. I think her mother's intentional or unintentional blind eyes are a big factor in the development of this monster. Some of her lies seem to be so obvious to anyone with an ounce of gray cells it's hard to believe CA didn't know she was lying.

She stole so much money from her family that it should have been obvious she didn't have a job. CA never met Zanny or had Zanny's phone number. What grandparent with a grandchild and daughter living with them wouldn't demand the baby sitters errrrr....nanny's phone number or think it's odd that she's never had contact with her.

I think KC wasn't disciplined as a child and protected by her mother against GA who wanted her to have more discipline. The whole family has issues but her parents didn't even try to keep her in line. JMO

That looks great but I think the feathers would tickle your throat. :giggle:

 

[Paintr]

I think that ICA was born this way or had it develope as she went along. Her family dynamic might have encouraged or fed this problem, but I do think that ICA's problem (whatever it is) is ICA's to claim.

 

[BonKai]

I learned that LDB kicked more than just a field goal!

She was memorizing. She was absolutely brilliant! Bravo Linda!

 

[Eric's_Iguana]

I think that a "normal" child born into the Anthony family would have had problems, and if ICA had been born into a more functional family she still would have had problems. I just don't think the problems would have been nearly as severe.

I think the combination was a nightmare.

You know, I think Cindy was totally freaking out, if Casey was telling her those BS stories about Caylee being with Zanny during those 31 days. She knew Zanny wasn't a real person. An here Casey says Caylee is with her! That's why I absolutely believe she was panicking when she sent Lee to find Casey.

Cindy had never tried to call Casey out, let alone track her down. She was doing all kinds of things that were out of character for her. She even got on My Space, FGS!

To answer your questions, though, I think it's a bit of both. Casey could be unbalanced either chemically or neurologically. I wonder if her screwed up family is a reaction to having a screwed up Casey. Without knowing how they were before Casey came along, it's hard for me to say, you know chicken-egg.

 

[Beccaboo]

I learned there are more ways to incorporate an emus into jokes then I ever thought possible. I learned that Jose, dispite 3 years of watching her in action, can't see the Casey Express number 13 bus headed his way. Watch out Jose as soon as guilty comes out of the jury's mouth you are next! I learned that HLN can go more than 3 minutes without a commercial(learned that yesterday to be honest ) I learned that JA has strong emotions concerning GA suicide attempt. I learned both JA and LDB do their jobs because the truly care about justice, not that JA would pass up a free right hook to Jose's jaw.

I agree there comes a point when a child is blended into society and can determine what is correct behavior or not. Their choice depends on how entitled they believe they are or how much they can manipulate others just because they can. I have two sisters pretty close in age so we were raised the same but they are very self-serving and blame my parents for their short fallings. I had a great childhood and have wonderful children. I miss my parents so much. It is a great feeling when they are on you side no matter what - but I never broke the law - just lived my life so my girls would become unsuccessful adults and not blame anyone else for their mistakes. I always told them if you a kind person you'll recognize those like you and life will be good. Just my thoughts in a nut sheel after so many years of listening to this case.
