…has a nice ring to it. Yep, Casey wakes up this morning with a whole new title, “convicted felon”. She now has a rap sheet with 13 financial charges on it, and 6 guilty convictions. Were she some one who actually had a goal of a career – this could be a major hiccup. Luckily, she’s not so it shouldn’t hamper all her non-goals too much. The hearing was rather anticlimactic. After all, we knew darned well she was going to get some number of guilty convictions. You can’t hardly come out of 13 charges without at least one guilty conviction when the evidence against you includes security footage of you cashing the forged checks and writing forged checks while buying all your little non-Caylee necessities like beer, bras and panties.
There were three important facets of yesterday’s hearing, at least in my opinion:
1. The defense (and prosecution) were allowed to speak prior to the Judge handing down his decision on the adjudication of the 13 charges and on the subsequent sentencing. Of important note in the statements from Baez toward mitigating circumstances was not a single syllable about Casey committing all these criminal acts for the purpose of finding Caylee (as had been claimed by Casey in her initial interviews with law enforcement in July 2008). I’m assuming we didn’t hear the whole “the public will know the truth” story during this opportunity to “splain” Casey’s thievery because Baez pulled his head out of his ass and realized that footage of her buying 82 hoodies, beer and cheap sunglasses probably was going to be brought up by the prosecution….not to mention the Bella Vita tattoo…and all that probably wouldn’t fit well into a “Zanny-induced” buying spree just to follow a script and get her daughter back.
2. For what I think is the SECOND time, we saw Casey actually cry. The first time was many moons ago right after she was first arrested and was brought to court in chains and had the big – holy crap I’ve got a stay in jail! moment. Yesterday’s HEARTFELT tears came immediately after Casey had to do something that I’m not sure she’s ever had to do before in her life. She had to state – with no excuses, no disclaimers, no caveats, no equivocation – “I did these wrong things…and I’m sorry.” What an absolutely torturous act for an egomaniac to have to endure. I personally can’t believe Baez and company got her talked into it. But at the same time, I’m thinking she was wondering when mama-Cindy was going to stand up and try to intervene…just like she has Casey’s whole life. I can’t imagine the number of times Cindy has either passed a tall-tale conveyed to her by Casey, or spun one herself when Casey couldn’t come up with something, to those Casey should have had to answer to (like school authorities, grandma, Lee…George). Nope – convicted felon Princess Poopie-Pants didn’t get the maternal shield on this go-around and she had to utter words that I don’t believe for a second she meant, but what a humiliation, nonetheless…hence the self-centered tears.
So…what does this mean for Casey going forward? Other than the fact she can’t ever get a job at one of her favorite parking spots, Amscot, it means we most likely won’t see Casey taking the stand during her murder trial. I say MOST LIKELY because I still have money on the table that it may take a horse sedative to prevent her getting on the stand. I am convinced that in Casey’s mind she believes if she can just tell the world “her story” everyone will believe it and all this silly nonsense over her dead daughter will go away. At least now Baez and company have ANOTHER good reason to give her for her not trying that stupidity.
3. We got to watch felon-Casey’s face when the lawyers were talking about how long it could take to get to trial on the murder charge. (lol) I wonder what thoughts go through a shallow mind like that when it hears “five years”? Probably something like this:
* You mean I won’t get to have a 25th birthday party!
* Holy cow that’s about 212 more cans of jalapeno cheese dip.
* I wonder if Tony’s watching?
Valhall.
