Mr Sheaffer,
I have heard that the defense may use the tactic that Casey anthony suffers from a disorder of which that she “blacks out” for periods of time and doesnt remember anything. I also heard that they will say that casey was inside and did not notice that caylee went outside and when she went to find her, she couldnt. paniking, she called multiple people freaking out, but never talked to anyone because she knew she was suppose to be “at work” Do u think either of these defenses will hold up in court?

ZOMG!! Dude! Where have you been? You totally missed all the excitement!

JWG sent us all to the moon with two stellar articles…and then Valhall sent me searching all over the blog for “wiped cookies” or sumthin’, which is silly ’cause I believe in the 5 second rule, no need to wipe the damb cookies… then it rained rocks and smashed coconuts…and then there was pie (coconut cream, yum) and after that we got some pretty boxes…on the blog side, little boxes made of “read-ie lack-ie, little boxes that go from yellow to gray…and I thought I saw someone’s leg’s sticking out from a pile of 2×4′s over in the dark corner…was that you under there?
Oh yeah…I think we’re all running away to a mountain in Oklahoma where there’s a Watchtower (Hendrix, not the religious publication) bring your swimmies, themed beach towel and your science books, ’cause we’re all going to dip in the gene pool!

I think that about sums it all up…Hey LOOK!! a Unicorn…

missed ya dude

Great post!

As I understand it, Cindy had no legal standing to bring against Casey other than an issue regarding permission to use the vehicle during their June 16-July 15th absence. If she chose to involve CPS (can’t recall the agency’s name in Fla.), she risked Caylee being removed from their home and another ugly battle with Casey not to mention incurring legal fees to try to gain custody of Caylee which would mean more financial responsibility to be held accountable for such as daycare (or else George would NEVER go to work). I’d bet she weighed these factors carefully at different times and it probably seemed overwhelming.

For the sake of arguendo, say that Cindy realized Casey’s character flaws and possibly recognized Casey was as socially mature as a 13 yr. old – knowing in her heart of hearts that Casey wasn’t responsible enough to parent Caylee. After falling in love with the baby, the best possible scenario would be to keep both of them under her watchful eye even if it meant more fighting. There seemed to be an aura of contention in the house for years – such was their lifestyle. They are not the only family that communicates through fighting (really).

Everyone living in that home was unhappy (ok, miserable if you ask me) and sooner or later something had to give. Casey was living under as much pressure as she was creating. She wanted out and the only way she knew was thinking she could trap a guy and the only bait that would work (in her crazy mind) was an infant. Whether Caylee was getting too old to successfully bait her trap or if she decided to erase Caylee and start over is something we’ll never know for sure, but in my opinion, getting a man, getting out of her mother’s control and getting even with her mother were the forces that drove Casey Anthony. everything and everyone else was collateral damage if she even considered it (which I doubt she has the capacity).

..apparently, it’s coming later.

“As far as we know at this point, no one, maybe not even Casey, knows who Caylee’s father is. So far, none of the information Casey has provided about Caylee’s father has been substantiated.”

“There are more than a 1,000 pages of documents that have been provided to the defense recently that may be publicly released soon.”
