Emotional Reactions to the Autopsy Report

[kageykaren]

I tried to put myself in the family's position and I can't get past the fact that if I were in a similar situation, I wouldn't turn on my TV or my computer to listen to reports or to read the views of others. I would isolate myself to obtain just the facts from the authorities and sort of place a bubble around myself as a survival tactic to get thru the situation. Of course, that's just my guess as to how I would personally approach things to survive and not everyone reacts the same.

I just don't get it, though ... how do things go from there being a beautiful, innocent sweet little girl as in this photo: http://media.myfoxorlando.com/photogalleries/12108hope/1/lg/64.htm to some horrible crime taking place that totally removes her from existence? It's unthinkable!

What disturbs me is the inbetween. You are right,that alittle girl goes from being loved to being dead doesn't make sense because it isn't true. Autopsy may not state cause of death as being a soft kill or violent death but it does point to her death being Deliberate, no accident. This is what leads me to feeling sure Caylee's life when with her busy mother was literally no walk in the park. KC may have never left marks on Caylee before the day of death but duct tape placed in the manner to silence Caylee's voice indefinately leans to KC being so void of emotion (flat affect we have seen) that I visualize her harming Caylee in many ways especially emotionally. Today the world knows the Anthony home may not have been one of sugar and spice and everyones nice. This has not tarnished Caylee's name and I find it repulsive that those terms were used as a basis not to show the autopsy. What is tarnished is their ,"I'm so proud of my daughter", "Strong southern woman", "The incharge girl", "Good & loving mother". Anything positive ever said about KC as a daughter, and a mother was definatly proven today to not be true. Caylee was on their watch and no one took care or considered Caylee's feelings how their behaviors within the home effected Caylee. Example: possible fight between cA & KC, resulting in the death. KC's assesment of herself, "Spiteful *****", "Need to be institutionalized" was right on the mark. Such a shame her own parents won't accept the diagnosis KC gave herself.

The autopsy report today is terrible, heinous reality. I pray that those defending this atrocious murderess forgo the trial and allow her to plea and end this nightmare. Jose, if you can hear me, stop this madness now and give little Caylee her justice. May God have mercy on Casey's soul.

To be honest...I haven't been able to bring myself to read the actual report. Hearing the report discussed here and on tv/radio has upset me enough. I do feel the truth as shown in the reports needed to be known. If it keeps some silent, then it has served a purpose. There can be no fluffing of this info. It's finally becoming what it should always have been about...today was about Caylee.

The autopsy findings really held nothing new, nothing I didn't already know. But it solidified and drew a horrible picture of it all.. a mother wrapping duct tape over her little ones mouth and nose, not once but several overlapping strips, wrapping it good and firmly back around her little cheeks and jaws, and a terrified child struggling to breathe..

I am a tough old bird, and have seen a lot..but my heart hurts. I planted a little memorial garden for Caylee, and tomorrow I am going to go find a little angel statue to place amongst the forget me nots..

"A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late"

That one phrase "layers of duct tape" said it all. What a vile soulless creature KC is. She should rot in hell for all eternity. I am sick to my stomach about this. That poor innocent beautiful little girl.

I found your site when I was searching for all the info I could find on the disappearance of Meredith Emerson and subsequently the search for Gary Michael Hilton. That was my first case which I started following.

I guess I became intriqued with the news reports of Casey and her stories she was spinning about her missing daughter when I came again to WS and began following this case. It's been a wild year for me being full of heartbreak for Caylee and anger for KC and the A's. Some nights I don't think I slept for four hours without having to get back on line to check on what was happening. Something new almost every day. My heart broke when they found duct tape on Caylee and then the report of the heart residue finished me off.

I have not been able (ready) to read the report yet. Just the thought of what we already know can tear me up so I don't know if I will ever be able to tackle it.

Thanks to all of the WS's that are able to do so and report their findings to the forum. Their insight and knowledge is so amazing to me. And because of you, I can just take in a little at a time and learn from you.

Sorry to end up going OT, but I just needed to talk.

 

[kageykaren]

Something that keeps going through my mind is Caylee's last moments of possibly looking up at her mother with an innocent I love you look turning into a look of confusion, fear and despair. Because of the way KC descibes herself, her vile My Space images, behavior before and after her arrest, leads me to believe as Ryan stated that she is hard and will be considered a harden criminal the rest of her life.

I have thought a lot about the Anthonys today. I feel very strongly about their actions and choices up until this point, but if given the chance I would say to them this; George and Cindy, it is not too late to be completely truthful with LE, the public, and yourselves. Caylee's body has spoken for her and now you will have another opportunity to do the same at trial. Please put Caylee first.

 

[hornswoggled]

Most normal folks have very strong emotions about this case. If I could have one wish, it would be that Casey Anthony be judged by a jury of her true peers. People with no compassion. Selfish people. Emotionless people. She deserves that much.

May she get what she deserves.

I think a lot of people are really passionate and have strong feelings about the autopsy report.This cannot help but stir a lot of emotion.

Let's try and keep the autopsy threads to true analysis of the reports and their implications as much as possible.

But recognizing that some may need to talk about their feelings, maybe we can do that here.

Please remember TOS and it's not about bashing and name calling.

Awwwwwwwwwww!!! Ain't you a sweetie! Group therapy. Dam, I needed this today.

This has really gotten to me today and I am a very strong person. I really had no idea I could feel like I have felt all day. I had made my brain and heart ready to sit and read all the gory stuff.

I knew that Baby Caylee had duct tape on her skull. I knew she had been killed by her mother and stuffed in garbage bags and laundry bag and thrown away like trash but for the life of me. I even knew about her lil body laying out in the woods with bugs and animals. I don't know why I have gone thru all the emotions that I've had today. Hate---pizzed off---cried---sad---depressed.

During the hearing, I was feeling like I was having a stroke---felt like my B/P had gone sky high. I never get high B/P---I have a problem with low B/P. I was starting to wonder if I will be able to go thru the trial.

Wait----is this what this thread is about. Maybe I better go back and read some of the post. Maybe I might delete this. LOL:blowkiss:

George Anthony brought tears to my eyes tonight in his court appeal.
Really who could ever imagine when they married, had their own two children and the new addition of a little grandaughter the their lives would lead down a horrible road like this.
Casey Anthony is the one on trial in this case not her parents. A person is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. No matter what we think, believe or have concluded American citizens have that right. Thank goodness.
The details in the report are sickening, but what else would you expect.
I will be very pleased when this is over and done.
God rest your soul little Caylee.

My reaction to the autopsy report was that it was much more damaging than seeing a video of Casey's reaction to the discovery of a small child's body. That video would not have affected me very much, but this autopsy report surely did.

I am seething with anger at Casey and at the same time my heart is breaking for Caylee. I am just totally infuriated. And this anger is not going away.

 

[MAMABEAR]

After reading the report, I have no doubt what so ever that poor Caylee was murdered, no one would put multiple layers of duct tape on a child, dead or alive, if that child died of an accident. Bring on the Death Penalty!

Decomposition on the paper towels, in the carpet of Caseys truck, and the decomposing head hair of Caylee's found in the trunk....coupled with the car abandoment on June 27, imaginary phone call from Caylee reported by Casey on July 15, duct tape evidence with the remains, and not being reported missing for 31 days (when Cindy insisted).....

The idea of a possible accident and cover-up is not reasonable given the multiple layers of duct tape put on Caylee's mouth and nose. Very aggravating circumstances to say the least.

YUP! And I even look at the old jail/interview videos differently now. ALL the lying. Enuff---lets get on to the trial part.

Oh! And thank Goodness I didn't make a total fool outta myself for writing my feelings.

And let's not forget "Mother of the Year." :furious:

 

[Searchfortruth]

Like so many of you stated, I too knew what happened to Caylee, but when I found out there were multiple pieces of duct tape placed on this beautful childs face, I felt sick. It's not only the heartless killer, that was entrusted to care for Caylee that enrages me , it is Cindy and George who use Caylee's name and memory every chance they get, but only when it suits them. It is the fact that the answer lived in their house for months while Caylee lay in trash bags right down the street. The release of this autopsy today, while horrible to read and think about, was a win for Caylee's justice.

I couldn't believe that when GA started---I really felt for him---then all of a sudden all the other stuff came flooding back in. That was when my B/P went sky high.

Can we leave this thread open? I lub ya'll. :blowkiss:

 

[LEFT-COASTER]

I too am very angry today and saddened and just feel ill.
Even tho i knew about the duck tape and all that.. seeing it all in the report affected me. I kept hoping foolishly that Caylee didnt suffer, I dont believe that now.. I think the thing that affected me the most was that the duct tape was also over her nose.
So much of what you all have written in this thread is what I feel..
God, I dont cant even express how furious I am at KC, and also at the A's and their lies and covering up.
arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

I used to work with a group of consulting engineers about 20 years ago. That would put me at about Casey's age. We did accident reconstructions, arson investigations and the like. I also assisted in the lab with GC/MS and the use of Tevlar bags, etc. We viewed incident photographs before the victims were removed from the scene and I typed up the engineers' analytical reports. I became insensititized to these types of reports.

However, the image of animals disarticulating that poor baby's remains is etched into my brain. It's like her mother just "threw her to the wolves" without a second thought.

Although I sympathise with the Anthony grandparents, I don't necessarily believe they are worried about the release of these reports tarnishing the memory of Caylee; I think they are more worried about it tarnishing the public's view of Casey.
