"He was the co-author, with Glenn Beck, of “The 7", which was released in January..." That says everything I need to know. :crazy:

Saw Dr. Abalow on a TV show - he believes GA was complicit IIRC. He felt GA's answers in the courtroom provided a lot of doubt.

All the A's played their part.

The miserable postscript for a Casey Anthony juror

Juror number 12 left Florida. Her husband, fighting back tears, tells NBC News he’s not sure when she’ll return to her home in Florida.

Casey Anthony attorney: ‘She did not kill her child’
Cheney Mason says he believed his client’s story ‘from the first time I met her’

Though a recent Gallup poll finds that nearly two-thirds of America believes that Casey Anthony was guilty of murder, one of her defense attorneys considers himself squarely in on that topic.


“I do believe her story,’’ defense attorney Cheney Mason told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie on Monday. “I believed it from the first time I met her. I have never for one minute had any doubt at all. She did not kill her child. Period.’’

Mason was part of a defense team that secured an acquittal for the 25-year-old Anthony on the charge that she murdered her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, a jury decision that outraged much of the nation. Anthony was convicted on four misdemeanor counts of lying to police and is expected to be released on Sunday.

This is simply awful.

The domino effect that has been created by anyone associated with ICA is just amazing. She is EVIL and anyone that has anything to do with her will suffer in the long run.

That being said, I have no sympathy for any of these Jurors. They did not follow the Court's instructions of law and they did not deliberate! If any of them truly believed that ICA was guilty, they should have stood their ground. They caved and look at the results. They did not even hear the prosecution or their witnesses and to give credence to any of the DT witnesses is asinine! NO SYMPATHY for any of them. They made their beds and now they can live with the result. Just like all of us have to.:twocents:
JMHO

This is simply awful.

I strongly believe it was a huge mistake for them not to be interviewed on the same day the verdict was read. Perhaps people would've been more receptive of what they had to say. The way it was handled by rushing them out of there left the public wondering why and it cast suspicion on them, imo If they were "united" in their decision, only the foreman and perhaps another member could've spoken on behalf of the group.

Now everyone wants to know who they are. Whether their names are released or not, the media and the public will find out as we saw in this case of the 60 year old lady.

It's wrong but it is what it is.

guilt is a heavy burden to carry. It will last a long time, imho. I hope she sees Caylee every night when she closes her eyes. Then maybe she'll look at the evidence.

Respectfully Tipstaff, did the good Doctor AbaLOW see fit to give any specific reasons why he feels GA was complicit? Was it George's admission to police that he smelled death in Casey's trunk? His repeated pleading with his daughter to speak to the police? The many tireless hours he spent dragging that Caylee billboard around town and working at the search center? Really Dr., I'd love to hear details.

I have a great deal of reasonable doubt about Dr. Keith Abalow and his ability to render a sane and logical opinion.

A few of the esteemed Dr. Abalow's past gems include:

-Accusing the Obamas of hating America.

-Harshly criticizing a mother who dared to let her son try on pink nail
polish in a J. Crew ad, saying it amounted to "psychological sterilization"
and that the boy faced a lifetime of psychotherapy. (Homophobic much?)

-Attacking Chaz Bono as the victim of a "psychotic delusion".

I believe GA was most likely untruthful about his relationship with River Cruz, but based upon his actions and the evidence as a whole, I don't believe he was in any way complicit in Caylee's death or the disposal of her body.

 

[less0305]

I just can't find a lot of sympathy for those jurors. Now had they TRULY deliberated for some period of time, requested to look at evidence, asked questions, required some read back of testimony, or otherwise at least APPEARED to have deliberated, and still came back with a not guilty, I could have swallowed it a bit easier. But to come in on that next Tuesday morning in their Sunday best told me they decided on Monday afternoon that they had a verdict. So this bull***** that they deliberated over 10 hours is simply that bull. They "deliberated" at best four to five hours - and I use the word deliberate loosely. I think they deliberated more closely on how much money they could get for interviews than they did on the case. JMO.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43710...-anthony-attorney-she-did-not-kill-her-child/

From the article:

Family tensions
While Mason feels Anthony was unfairly convicted in the headlines, he was also asked whether the defense team unfairly tarnished Anthony’s father, George, who was portrayed by Baez in opening arguments as having molested Anthony was she was 8 years old. No evidence was ever presented, and George tearfully denied the allegations.
Guthrie asked Mason if that was a savvy strategy by the defense or a dirty trick.
Story: Casey Anthony refuses jail visit from her mother “It wasn’t a dirty trick,’’ Mason said. “The allegation wasn’t new in trial. It had been made in the public eye from letters written in jail sometime before that. Sometimes testimony in trial doesn’t turn out what you expected it to be.’’

Sometimes testimony doesn't turn out what you expected it to be??
What, did he expect GA to get on the stand and declare himself guilty of molestation like something out of a Lifetime Network movie? Apparently we're supposed to just take CM's word for it that the accusation was made in "good faith". :floorlaugh:

No wonder this guy is so fond of Casey - they're two lying peas in a pod.

Yeah well, Cindy believed that Casey was working and had a nanny who was a 10 driving a Ford Surely if she can fool her own mother, she can fool the likes of one Cheney Mason.

More Good News!
There are so many Facebook pages dedicated to the Boycott of all things Casey Anthony that one has to hit see more results 47 times!

There are over 1,093,000 names signed onto the petition for Caylee's Law.

News on MSM has dwindled to brief snipets that either refer to the petition or the boycotts. This is a message LOUD & CLEAR.

:rocker: :great: :woohoo:

I was laying in bed Sunday morning, sleeping in and decided to skip church. Shouldn't have but did. And the only good thought that I have had out of all of this was that at least the SAs had that same option I did now, to sleep in that day and spend some time with their kids and family.

JURY - YOU WERE WRONG. YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT A DANG THING LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE. You didn't follow instructions. You don't know how bad I am having to hold back and not message the ones the jurors I found on facebook and what not and tell them what I think. It's really hard but I hope they get it someday. But I doubt it.

 

[pinkfly]

we went on vacation July 1 to our cabin which has no electronic devices available, so I did not hear the verdict until yesterday when I got off the mountain and received a text from my daughter telling me what happen. I cried. No justice served as far as I can see. I am hoping coming back here to WS I will find comfort with those that I shared the whole trial and when the world witness the greatest injustice ever!!!! A part of me is glad I was away. I refuse to watch anything to do with ICA. I don't want to hear any news coverage. I just feel sick.

Cabin girl you really need to go back and watch video of JA and LDB giving closing arguments. They were awe inspiring and dead on. Very emotional time but I feel our prosecutors did the best they could for Caylee and then 12 people who couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the facts came along.....

Thank you...and this doctor’s book will be the first thing I boycott. Even if the money does not go towards any of the A’s or DT I still don’t think this guy needs to cash in on the tragedy.

I hope this post will make sense. I haven't had a high profile trial like this really affect me since OJ. It has made me sad, unmotivated, sleepless, constant thinking about it. I need to let go before it drives me mad.

But I was listening mostly to Cheney Mason on the Today Show this morning. I couldn't see the TV. You know what, I think he truly does believe her story and that she didn't KILL Caylee. BUT...........I have never left the fence on whether it was intentional or accident. So when he says she didn't KILL Caylee and he believes that, then he isn't saying she is innocent of an accidental death that she covered up. Does that make sense.

I truly wish come Sunday (if it even is that day) they could just open the back door and say See Ya. I am inclined to believe she may even be out by now just to throw the public off. I was a little sad reading the interview with Juror #12's husband. I'm sorry she felt the need to run but she was one of 12 that could have controlled that. I think if their is not a juror that isn't sorry for the fact they didn't really understand the charges and instructions or that they didn't ask to review any interviews, evidence, pictures, they don't need to ever serve on any jury again. I will only wish them the best in the future.

I agree that Mason probably does believe what Casey told them. But, we all know how long Casey lied to all those people and they believed her. She is a master at spinning the truth. So, I just wonder how long it will take Baez, Mason, and all the others to see her for her true self. And I wonder if we the public will ever know and if they will admit they were hood winked by Miss Casey Anthony. jmo

Good. I hope it continues. Again, I don't care if the lawyers make money off this horrible case as they all worked their butts off, but no way in sam hill should Casey or her family make a cent off Caylee's death. Besides, all anyone has to do is make a movie based on court record. The whole idea that anyone has to pay Casey for her story is a joke. Just use what the defense claims and there you go.. Casey's side.
