New evidence in Casey Anthony trial shows prosecutors were willing to do anything to win

BARF
This looks like an article that was first reported in July....Why again now?

____________
Gotta keep her name in the news no matter what! :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh: :seeya:

Ya mean Washington or Colorado sa...moking? (For you folks not in the states, a result of the voting for two states allows now smoking pot for recreational useage.... Colorado's new tourism slogan song is Rocky Mountain High by John Denver, lol!)

And by the way your votes have our BC Bud potheads in an uproar - I think they are planning to march enmasse to our capitol to demand their rights. Not going to happen - our Prime Minister(President) is "far right".

:waitasec: Venting some idle thoughts, all of which have been mentioned here at some point since July 2008, which still percolate around in my brain when I see pics of Caylee and think about her life:



Caylee seemed to generally be isolated from other children. She didn't go to preschool. She wasn't enrolled in a day care facility, even though all the adults in the family "worked" (supposedly), and there were no family members living nearby who could care for Caylee.

Caylee had no little friends. In all of FCA's hundreds of pics of Caylee, and in all those taken by Cindy/George, there are no little friends; no documentation of her at other kids' birthday parties, friends over at the house, playing at the park with children, playground fun with little buddies, going on play dates (though one of FCA's friends, who had little ones of her own, said she had babysat Caylee, and the two moms on at least one occasion took the kids for a walk at a public park shortly before Caylee disappeared). Caylee's own birthday parties were attended by adults, not kids. Caylee seemed to have been kept at home purposely; isolated from other children/parents.

(Am I remembering this one incorrectly?)
Unlike most little children, Caylee didn't go to the doctor (or dentist). I do recall FCA texting excuses(probably lies) to Amy H., saying that she was with Caylee at the pediatrician... kinda like George and his nonexistent "near-stroke emergency" IMO. And yes, Cindy refers in her myspace post to having paid "medical bills," but that might refer to costs surrounding Caylee's hospital birth. In FCA's initial interviews w/LE, she told them Caylee had never been treated by a doctor because she had never been sick. Was there ever any investigatory or trial evidence indicating that Caylee had a history of treatment by doctors or dentists, or received check-ups, immunizations, well-child visits, etc? I don't remember?

Nobody else was allowed to cut her hair. Cindy said only she or Casey always cut Caylee's hair. No one else was allowed to touch her hair. They never took her to a salon for her first "big girl haircut." Caylee had her hair/bangs cut many times -- but always by her grandmother or mother, with varying results as seen in photos/videos of Caylee IMO.

Caylee's very existence was kept secret from the beginning. No one was allowed to know FCA was pregnant, until she was nearly about to pop. Not even Lee, an immediate family member. Exception: FCA dragging poor Caylee along on dates/sleepovers/raucous parties, etc., evidently unbeknownst to the almighty Cindy.

Why not have Caylee's portrait made? ICBW, but I believe there are very few professional photo portraits of Caylee as well, especially compared to most children. Why not take Caylee to have her portrait made on a regular basis? Six months, One year, Eighteen months, Two years, etc...? I don't remember seeing any professional portrait shots of Caylee past infancy... or am I mistaken about this one?

Caylee's paternity was always a deep secret. No one was allowed to know who Caylee's father was, though the A's allegedly were somehow able to file legal papers establishing that there was no father in the picture at all, and that CA and GA were to have full custody if anything happened to FCA. The family lied to people about Caylee's paternity; then when she disappeared, they all told new conflicting stories about who Caylee's father was. To this day, I don't believe LE ever learned the answer to this puzzle... It's all so strange and secretive IMO.

--

And finally, though this thought is not directly related to the theme of the A's keeping Caylee oddly "under wraps" at Hopespring Drive, I still find it bizarre to recall Cindy's accounting of Caylee receiving "5 or 6 baths" a day. And that's in addition to presumably frequent dips in the backyard pool.

Oh yes... And then there was that childproof lock on the doorknob of Caylee's room. --> On the INSIDE...

So much tight control over Caylee's life and her very existence... How likely is it that someone like Cindy would ever accept the word of her daughter (an established liar, 'spiteful b*tch,' and 'unfit mother') that this same highly protected child was being cared for by a "nanny" whom she, Cindy, had never laid eyes on ... and who gladly cared for Caylee for FREE and bought her lots of clothes, videos, toys at her own expense, kept her overnight, etc... yet was still referred to as "the nanny?" It does not add up!

OR... How likely is it that a grandma/mother like Cindy would let 31 days go by without seeing Caylee, with FCA feeding her lies every day and not even letting her speak to Caylee by phone -- Cindy HAD to know something was very, very wrong regarding Caylee's safety and welfare... if nothing else, there was no way to make sure FCA was bathing Caylee the requisite 5/6x per day (LOL). --> Why did Cindy let it drag on like that?

:banghead: It never made sense! And it still doesn't. Never will.


Caylee is long gone and the trial is long over, I know, I know. Just idle thoughts when I looked at a pic of her today and noticed her haircut. Apologies for the long post, and thanks WS, for having a place where we can muse over this stuff.

Was somebody hollering for Baez Presumed Guilty Stats???

He did quite well for the first few days of the month - selling two a day and staying at around 35,000 or so we thought - prolly spending his recent radaronline income to fill that garden shed.

[FLmom777]

Just wanted to share that I have received a summons for jury duty. In the past I may have tried to get out of it. After seeing what happened in this case, I will be happy to serve. We need juries that can actually think and nit just close themselves off from the evidence presented. I have never served before. The only time I was ever summoned was immediately after I moved out of Orange county so I was no longer eligible in that county. I was surprised to get that one because it was forwarded to my new address, even though the envelope said not to forward it out of the county.

Wonderful post. Thank you! I also learned something new, hadn't heard about the 5 or 6 times a day baths. Things that make one go hmmmmmmm???????

 

[com n sense]

Wonderful post. Thank you! I also learned something new, hadn't heard about the 5 or 6 times a day baths. Things that make one go hmmmmmmm???????

ITA! There are still so many, many unanswered questions about Caylee's life.
I hope someday they will all be answered. It will only take one of them to all of a sudden gain a concience & talk.
Since the very first time I heard about this case something just didn;t sit right somewhere. I could never put my finger on it.
I remember when this case first broke I felt the whole family was setting the world up to gain money & Caylee was really alive somewhere.
If Caylee had of never been found I would still be sure of it.
That is how strongly I have always felt that SOMETHING just isn't right.

 

[logicalgirl]

Wonderful post. Thank you! I also learned something new, hadn't heard about the 5 or 6 times a day baths. Things that make one go hmmmmmmm???????

That's the one I don't really have trouble with - she wasn't toilet trained so she'd have her morning and evening bath, then maybe one or two after being in the pool, and another one if she'd had a messy accident. Not sure CA meant full bubble bath soaker type baths?:waitasec:

Also wanted to add - I do understand why Caylee didn't have any play friends - i think FCA considered herself a young woman on the prowl, so there would have been no reason for her to hang around with other young mothers who were married with children. And on the other hand, what young mother with a young husband would want her? Plus she used Caylee with her friends as a cute accessory and to make herself special - IMO.

And the paternity? Don't think FCA knew and CA was too ashamed of that fact to actually admit it outloud in public - so she went along with the "dead" fiance.

So well stated..makes me perk up and say yes, yes, yes, yes. And what is absolutely mindboggling and fabulous is I look at the bottom and see my WS buddies still here thanking your post such as A_News_Junkie, bayouland, bogeygal, byomoi, coco puff, com n sense, ExpectingUnicorns, FLmom777, IfIMay, jandkmom, kaki, knt, luvmygarden, mac66, md89, Niner, RR0004, shotgun09, wonders, ZsaZsa......(this was a random caputure from a most recent post, not meant to point out anyone)

So glad so many of us are STILL HERE! And many more come around for events and we DO NOT FORGET! And as always, shout out to Wolfmom for lighting the Candle twice daily.........you I believe are the most special one here to do such! I may not know you as well as others that have seeded from this trial and gone to others, but Wolfmom, you have been so steadfast..you are AMAAZING! Thanks for what you do in keeping the candle burning for Caylee.

Bayou.......hated last year that your dad passed during the time we were going to meet up. :grouphug: to see that you are still here.

I will again be at Jazz Festival next year....going to make reservations late December at my usual place way ahead...............see you then! Glad you are still here!

I wonder......will Hal or others come here looking for our thoughts around the beginning of JANUARY....it reinforced today how many of us are still steadfastly here posting in keeping Caylee Marie Anthony's light going.....many no longer post, but just do thanks on posts so we know they are still here.....and WE WILL NOT LEAVE HER without our support. What ever happened with Kathie and others down in Orlando....have they moved on? (miss the bowties, lol!!!)

I sure hope Kathy has moved on - she put herself "out there" in front of Baez and Mason publicly so many times it must have seemed an enormous betrayal to her when the jury's decison was read. She heavily invested three years of her life - intensely and with her whole heart - I would not be surprised to hear she slid into some kind of depression when it was all finished. Hope she had a great support system around her.

Kathy Belich (WFTV-9) and Michelle Meredith are both on ZG's revised witness list filed a few days ago. So she potentially could be called to testify if subpoenaed, although I doubt it would happen as news organizations typically fight vigorously against this type of thing. See the respective news directors' comments about this in the article below.

But stranger things have happened in this case, so who knows? I understand why they most likely won't testify, if subpoenaed there could/would be more Court hearings about it before it would ever happen, surely a longshot, but in my opinion it sure would be interesting to hear what she has to say!! IMO, MOO, etc.

I wonder why they would fight it? Since it's Zenaida she would be testifying for? I could understand them not wanting Kathi involved with being a witness for Casey.....?

Did Kathy do the original interview with CA when she made those statements or was she one of the reporters on scene as CA was taped making these statements? I can see that would be a reason to call her.

In FCA's initial interviews w/LE, she told them Caylee had never been treated by a doctor because she had never been sick. Was there ever any investigatory or trial evidence indicating that Caylee had a history of treatment by doctors or dentists, or received check-ups, immunizations, well-child visits, etc? I don't remember?

Nobody else was allowed to cut her hair. Cindy said only she or Casey always cut Caylee's hair. No one else was allowed to touch her hair. They never took her to a salon for her first "big girl haircut." Caylee had her hair/bangs cut many times -- but always by her grandmother or mother, with varying results as seen in photos/videos of Caylee IMO.

Caylee's very existence was kept secret from the beginning. No one was allowed to know FCA was pregnant, until she was nearly about to pop. Not even Lee, an immediate family member. Exception: FCA dragging poor Caylee along on dates/sleepovers/raucous parties, etc., evidently unbeknownst to the almighty Cindy.

Why not have Caylee's portrait made? ICBW, but I believe there are very few professional photo portraits of Caylee as well, especially compared to most children. Why not take Caylee to have her portrait made on a regular basis? Six months, One year, Eighteen months, Two years, etc...? I don't remember seeing any professional portrait shots of Caylee past infancy... or am I mistaken about this one?

Caylee's paternity was always a deep secret. No one was allowed to know who Caylee's father was, though the A's allegedly were somehow able to file legal papers establishing that there was no father in the picture at all, and that CA and GA were to have full custody if anything happened to FCA. The family lied to people about Caylee's paternity; then when she disappeared, they all told new conflicting stories about who Caylee's father was. To this day, I don't believe LE ever learned the answer to this puzzle... It's all so strange and secretive IMO.

And finally, though this thought is not directly related to the theme of the A's keeping Caylee oddly "under wraps" at Hopespring Drive, I still find it bizarre to recall Cindy's accounting of Caylee receiving "5 or 6 baths" a day. And that's in addition to presumably frequent dips in the backyard pool.

Oh yes... And then there was that childproof lock on the doorknob of Caylee's room. --> On the INSIDE...

So much tight control over Caylee's life and her very existence... How likely is it that someone like Cindy would ever accept the word of her daughter (an established liar, 'spiteful b*tch,' and 'unfit mother') that this same highly protected child was being cared for by a "nanny" whom she, Cindy, had never laid eyes on ... and who gladly cared for Caylee for FREE and bought her lots of clothes, videos, toys at her own expense, kept her overnight, etc... yet was still referred to as "the nanny?" It does not add up!

OR... How likely is it that a grandma/mother like Cindy would let 31 days go by without seeing Caylee, with FCA feeding her lies every day and not even letting her speak to Caylee by phone -- Cindy HAD to know something was very, very wrong regarding Caylee's safety and welfare... if nothing else, there was no way to make sure FCA was bathing Caylee the requisite 5/6x per day (LOL). --> Why did Cindy let it drag on like that?

:banghead: It never made sense! And it still doesn't. Never will.


Caylee is long gone and the trial is long over, I know, I know. Just idle thoughts when I looked at a pic of her today and noticed her haircut. Apologies for the long post, and thanks WS, for having a place where we can muse over this stuff.

As awful as this may sound, I still pray deeply that this family is never again blessed with a child. Reading this post gives me chills just thinking about another child being brought into that environment and there is just so much more that was going on that was not even posted. Caylee never had a chance in that environment and I agree that there was so much more going on that we will never know about. Caylee was an object to them all. Just an object... like a nice ring or porcelain doll.

And when she became an inconvenience to FCA, she was....disposed of. And yet FCA's family covered for her. I will never be able to wrap my head around that. A forum of perfect strangers stood up for Caylee, wept for her and demanded justice, and yet her own flesh and blood betrayed her. I agree, Lola; sweet Caylee never had a chance.
