Now you guys wouldn't start discussing posters over here would you?
 
I can not imagine lasting a year like this. Hey can we ask the judge for a speedy trial?
 
Did KC have a half of an eyebrow at the court hearing before this one?
 
Casey's appearance in court is important to the outcome at trial. It's a matter of perception, and not just in our society or modern society, but as human beings. Sensory perception, particularly visual perception, is a major factor in our decision making process. Heck, even a female bird when choosing a mate will judge a male by his feathers.

Everything that a juror sees and hears in the courtroom will affect his or her decision. The writers of the United States Constitution understood this. That is why an accused is granted the right to appear in civilian clothing as opposed to prison garb, lest the presumption of innocence be impaired by the jury's perception of the defendant as a criminal. In our media age, the argument for allowing defendants to appear in civilian clothing at pretrial hearings is based upon the risk of prejudicing potential jurors.

The visual evidence in this trial will be horrific, to be sure, but no more than in other capital trials where the defendant was acquitted. In some instances, gruesome evidence presented at trial backfires for the prosecution because of the emotional impact on the jury and their perception of what they see before them. Most jurors have never seen skeletal remains, decomposed bodies, and severed limbs. When faced with the evidence they reach into their memories of past experiences for a frame of reference, but their is none. Or what they find is a connection to a movie or book they read where the villian was a dark, frightening character. Certainly not an attractive young woman. Granted, modern jurors are jaded, but not so much as we might think.

At any rate, this is far from a slam dunk case for the prosecution or the defense. Each side will have to play to the jury. For the defense, that requires utilizing every means to broaden the disconnect between the evidence and the accused. In that regard, her physical appearance and demeanor will be of vital importance.
 
"Casey's Presentation: Does it matter? Is it circumstantial evidence?"

Yes it matters. This whole discussion makes me think of the pictures of GA coming out of the courtroom in his suit, his "Caylee book" tucked under his arm. My first impression of those was of a man who understood the significance of the proceedings.

Whoever had a hand in dressing Casey A today was trying. It didn't work exactly, but they were trying. The clothes are too snug, and Casey was not comfortable in them. She kept tugging and shifting in them, as I would.

She was taking notes...okay, so? I'd be taking notes in that situation myself. I'd be too freaked out to try to remember everything I needed to. I would not trust my brain to remember the questions I needed to ask my attorney at that point.

I am by no means a "pro Casey" person, but I am very much a "pro justice" person and while a person's appearance and demeanor might factor in slightly, the importance being attached to such details is a bit over the top.
 
BIG QUESTION HERE: It just occured to me......CA sent the clothes with JB....was this on this thread or the other thread...but the Suit Jacket was described as grey with very narrow pin stripes...or was this from the one who posted she was sitting in at the hearing??? Because I wonder if that suit jacket matches and goes to the Pants that CA washed from the pontiac??? Oh Lord would that be a real bombshell! I dont even want to say what I think about that without proof it was part of a set. imo

CA did not dress her I believe it was Mrs.B
 
IMO, the jury will not be swayed by what Casey is wearing when they see and hear the evidence against her!

I have faith that the jury will do the right thing. I have seen defendants in court look so sweet and demure that butter would not melt in their mouth. Then bam! The evidence convicts them.

All in all, I was not impressed with what Casey was wearing today. I would feel the same way had she been wearing her jail blues. IMO, Casey was wearing civillian clothing today because the hearing would be televised and maybe a prospective juror would be watching.
