How do you feel about the memorial service planned for Caylee?

[suspicious mind]

Where I live, if you have a gathering of 10 or more people in a public park, you must obtain a permit and/or permission to be allowed to hold this gathering...even if it is just a birthday party. Just because it is a public park, does not mean that anyone can do whatever they feel like doing, whenever they feel like doing it...and yes you can be arrested for holding a gathering that is considered a nuisance or peace disturbance.

Things seemed quite peaceful today until the A's showed up.

Honestly. 21 weeks will turn into 21 months then 21 years before this is allowed to occur. I do think it has been long enough. I don't think LP arranged this out of spite. I think it is because he is going home and he wants to say goodbye the right way. He has asked if others want to join him in doing so because they are probably going to fly home, too. It is time for people to start letting go and let the case go forward knowing Caylee will not be found. It is facing that reality which is the real reason to do this for Caylee.

They only have to prove her death and WHO did it.

They don't have to have a why, or when, or how............that might be some of the circumstantial evidence the use, but NONE of those have to be proved.

They are all elements of the same thing. To have a jury reach a conviction on WHO did it, they have to show why (motive), when (opportunity) and how (to prove premeditation for 1st degree). Without all of those elements, they don't have a 1st degree murder case.

When Casey is CONVICTED of her murder...the A fam will rush right out and get a death certificate...especially if they have carried a life insurance policy on her!!

I'm especially interested in this information - I wrote about the insurance issue in a previous post. Would be highly interesting...

It'll be like a freakin' stampede...

They didnt "let" Casey leave with her.. Casey was her mother, she could leave with her when she wanted to..They had no legal guardianship over Casey or Caylee!

Regarding them not concerned enough to find her before 31 days.. Umm, they spoke with Casey all the time, didnt think anything was wrong.. I have a child and went a month without seeing my parents.. Don't think that it's a big deal that they weren't hunting me down..

My parents have never met my babysitter.. No need too..

Were all your childs belongings at your parents house? Did you live with your parents prior to going a month without seeing them or them seeing their grandchild? Did they call or text you looking for your child, to talk to your child? Did you sneak in your parents house and get clothes for yourself but none for your child?

Did you have a job that you needed a babysitter?

Apples and oranges....moo

You make it sound like the jury has to fill out some form listing what "evidence" they believed was sufficient for each element of the crime in order to convict, and that's not the case. They simply fill in a blank from the choices listed on the verdict form: it's that simple.

What a sad thread. We all know that little Caylee is gone and I do believe a memorial for her would be very healing for many of us. I just shudder at what kind of spectacle it could turn into with the Anthonys running rampant and disrupting the service. Since they have not traveled anywhere to substantiate any sightings perhaps the memorial should be out of town because they probably wouldn't go if that was the case.

It was VERY peaceful. I kept thinking how beautiful the scene was and if Caylee were to be found...it would be nice to have people who love her sitting on the banks awaiting her. One woman prayed openly with her arms held high above her head. A man was fishing. Another one had arrived in a wheelchair. There was no animosity among any of them. It was filled with love, sadness, and a serenity before they showed up.

 

[Truthwillsetufree]

Sure makes me wonder why the Kidfinders (blueshirt guy) is so upset and intent making the "A's" believe Caylee is alive?

The Kidfinders guy is disgusting, unprofessional and I was embarassed for him.

 

[ComputerGeek]

Not that anyone who is "reasonable" or intelligent will believe!! Sure...your defense team will try to sprinkle BS all over...but the stench of her rotting corpse in the trunk of Casey's car will overpower the smell of their BS! It is NOT reasonable to believe that Caylee is alive anymore that it is reasonable to believe the moon is made of cheese. There is conclusive proof of both. The moon is not cheese and Caylee was in the car rotting.

Now there is care if I ever saw it..... my defense team??? Get a grip, I hope you are at the memorial for the dead rotting corpse as you so eliquently put it!!!

Bolded is mine.

Then how do you explain the first 911 call, when Casey and Cindy are on hold waiting and they're talking about how CIndy had given Casey 31 days, etc? Methinks it quite clear that Cindy had threatened to go for custody if Casey didn't shape up, and Casey believed her: that's ultimately why she did what she did to Caylee.

Totally rotten, IMO. I'm beginning to see why Tim felt the need to pull out of the search.

Tim pulled out first.

Bold and red is mine...What event is this happening..cause I really want to RSVP to it:crazy:

Me, too!! Put me down for a seat (and a torch!).

I happen to know someone that did plan a memorial service for a loved one within days of the attack on the World Trade Center. They didn't have a body and I very much believe they didn't request a death certificate. They needed to come together with friends and family. Some may have thought it was too soon...but who can judge. If they needed comfort at that horrific time, then that's what they needed to have. If people need to come together to grieve for Caylee, I don't think they need anyone's permission or blessing to do so. MO

Your acquaintances situation was unique - btw, I also know several families of 9/11 victims and they did NOT hold memorial services prior to issuance of a death certificate. Not saying your acquaintances did anything wrong, though. Here's the thing about the rules of etiquette regarding memorial services: a memorial service is for the comfort of the survivors of the deceased person. This DOES NOT include people who NEVER EVEN KNEW OR MET the person. Sorry, but this really IS an etiquette issue. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with holding a service in the hope of someday finding Caylee (dead or alive). But forcing a memorial service upon people who are clearly not ready is completely improper, and, in fact, cruel.

Nevermind.......:crazy:

AMEN!!! :applause::applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

In my opinion they lost their right when they started lying for KC. They proved to me they never cared for Caylee but for KC first.

Well said. :clap::clap::clap:

How many grandmothers or grandparents here would let so much time go by without trying to find your child and grandchild. While discussing this case, my mom said to me, the first day I asked to talk to my granddaughter and you wouldn't let me or came up with some hokey excuse, that would be the day I come and find you- not 30+ days later. (and I am 44 with grown children). I would do the same if I had grandchildren. Heck even my neighbor's little one if I don't see her out playing in her play yard I ask if she is sick or off having fun with her grandma.

Okay, who let the trolls out from under their bridge?

hehehehehe

 

[Chilly Willy]

Tim pulled out first.

First? Before what? I've wondered for weeks what Tim thought about the way LP has inserted himself into this case and, more specifically, into the search effort. I think Tim's thoughts are pretty clear now.
