No!!! No special "Casey" rule for excursions outside the jail!!!

However, I agree that she should "see" it. I think Law Enforcement should film it (even if they have to get a warrant/court order permitting them to do so) and offer to show it to her, along with photos/video of the skeletonized remains, and film her reaction. They ARE allowed to question her so long as her attorney is present.

OTOH, since in all likelihood Casey is a complete sociopath who simply does not possess deep emotions concerning the wellbeing of others but merely counterfeits what she has seen other normal people express in similar situations, there may be little to gain.

Here is the email I sent to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

TOPIC: Casey Should Attend the Funeral

I hope that you will seriously consider this suggestion.

Escorting Casey to the funeral could be very telling. I believe that it may have evidentiary value and tell you everything you need to know.

I believe that you should, and think that you probably already have, shown Casey Anthony the pictures of the condition in which you found Caylee.

I think that even if Casey refuses to attend the funeral, you should force her to do it.

Keeping her in jail to perhaps view it in her hour of TV, denies you an opportunity to see how she behaves.

Send Her To The Funeral!!!! Make her Face It.

You couldn't be more mistaken. There would be no "evidentiary value." It would mean nothing. It would accomplish nothing. It would be a mockery of the memorial for that poor little girl.

In any case, it ain't going to happen.

:confused:I totally agree that she should not go I believe she has totally seperated herself from that baby and would continue with the lie in her head and she would be pretty prepared with the fake tears or so called emotions, I believe it would be more telling when she sees them for the first time in court I don't think she would have as much time to prepare herself for the jury to see. I didn't know Caylee personally but, I have a grd around her age and they pretty much look alike and I still can weep for this little girl. She does'nt have the right to say a proper good bye until she can be honest and to let her family to start healing evan though they stand by her and want to believe her everything points to they don't I hope she will say what happened one day but I don't think it will be any time soon. Unless she gets a different lawyer. I know the anger toward the family and I feel it also at times and at the same time the pain they feel is so evident I hope they get some real counseling and realize they can love her but she has taken a wrong course and only she can set it right.

Evidentiary value? IMO, Casey would thrive off the attention just like she did when LE was driving her around to points of interest before her arrest, the media following her around when she was out of jail.

IMO, LE has not shown Casey anything. She has lawyered up.

Casey should not be allowed to attend Caylee's funeral.

I don't see any evidentiary value to observing Casey's reaction/response to her daughters funeral. Too much time has lapsed between when SHE ~knew~ Caylee was dead to now. Her response appears to be well documented.
As for her seeing the bones and reacting - nah ... To her, just a pic of some bones.
When Caylee's remains were discovered, I too, wished her dragged to the casket ... however, imo, she's said HER goodbye's.

Question....
Could they deny her attendance based on the fact that "Casey killed Caylee" even though there has been no official conviction? IOW, she is currently the "alleged perpetrator".

I think it could be very telling.

I think that even if LE is 150% convinced that Casey did this, LE should very definately take her to the funeral.

They should, and probably have, shown her the pictures of what was left of her child.

I am going to write to them and tell them that they need to take her to the funeral. I hope that a lot of other people do too.

I have absolutely no idea what happened to that beautiful baby girl, but only a legally insane person could attend the funeral, if she killed her, and not react quite violentlySounds to me like you just want some sort of show at the funeral they don't plan on having any time soon.

You've barely followed this case using this particular nic and you wrote this letter? "only a legally insane person could attend the funeral?". I'm sure they laughed at by making such an absurd statement.

By the way, her name is spelled Laci.

01-08-2009, 10:56 AM

You think she is legally insane? I don't I think she knew what she was doing and that is why she came up with the nanny story. An insane person wouldn't have done that.

I don't think she should be allowed to go to the funeral. Can you imagine all the money Florida taxpayers put into this already and you want them to have to put in more for Casey Anthony's security at the funeral?

My opinion only

Dells

01-08-2009, 11:24 AM

No, she should not be allowed to go. For one, she should be given no special treatment that other prisoners wouldn't be given, but IMO she does not deserve to go to the funeral of that precious little girl.

She won't be permitted to get out for the funeral. Scott Peterson didn't get to go to the funeral for his wife and unborn child either.

At this point, Law Enforcement wouldn't be able to guarantee her physical safety anyway. Some people feel rather stongly about her.

I would forget about this if I were she. I doubt she wants to go anyway since she's very likely the reason for the funeral in the first place.

Funerals and memorial services are for people who genuinely cared about the deceased person. She is not in that class.

This is a non-starter. :thumbdown:

I completely agree!

I'm actually outraged at the thought of disrespecting Caylee at that final moment just for some self satisfication of the possibility of see Casey react.

Which isn't going to happen!

Casey is an evil evil witch...she killed her daughter, went out and partied, got a 'beautiful life' tattoo, didn't report her missing, has lied for months...

to think that attending her funeral would produce some shock value of "OMG what have I done" is just crazy IMO

Noooo
Casey would be there smirking, smiling and happy, feeling accomplished with herself.

I'm also disappointed that LE will have to spend time sorting through emails as such vs. aiding the prosecution in getting Casey locked up for life.

She had many chances to pay a last respect IMO
..could of called LE when the "accident/overdose/murder/happened
...could of told LE or FBI where the body was rotting
..she partied & played house while her child's body was being ravaged,carried off
They had to lay the little retrieved bones out to see how much of a skeleton was left,FGS!!!!
NO she should not be allowed
She should not be allowed AIR...but I'm going to patiently wait until they bring her down!

Instead of attending her funeral and instead of being put to death she should be made to watch the video of that little doll reading her book in the kitchen the rest of her life 24/7. Nothing else. She has IMO, if what is allegedly said about results in the latest news, absolutely no right to see this child and from her behavior no desire. She saw her the last time in a plastic bag with duct tape over her mouth and that is how she wanted it to end. She's seen her dead and a memorial that Casey attended would be a total mockery.

Good post, ViennaGal and ICAM. May she forever see in a tormented mind, a picture of that innocent baby dead, with duct tape wrapped around her head. And may it eat her up with guilt 24/7. Unfortunately though, it will take a miracle for that narcissistic, spoiled brat to ever feel anything for anyone other than herself. JMO.

It is not only a Casey exception. Many inmates go to funerals. In shackles.

As to the above, you think that the investigators would really get to question her and film her reactions? You think that her lawyers would not say NO and that would be the end of it. She doesn't have to speak to investigators.

How on earth would any LE or the State force her to attend a funeral? Under what law? :blink:

Amy

01-10-2009, 01:53 PM

Just as a person should not be able to profit from the death of someone they killed, they should not be allowed to go to the funeral to pay their last respects. It would seem their "last respects"---the act of murder, shows there was no respect for the victim.

Let Caylee's private funeral be just that--and if Casey would go (and I agree w/those who says she doesn't give a tinker's dam anyway) there would be all kinds of tv and hoopla and crap that, IMO, is disrespectful of Caylee.

There should just be the private funeral where there is no media, no cameras, etc. Then, a public memorial where all who have put their hearts and souls into the sad saga of Caylee can pay their respects. IMO

01-10-2009, 03:33 PM

Oh yeah, riiiight. Take her to the funeral so she can make a mockery of it? I don't think so. :angry:

The only "trip" that freak of a woman should be allowed to take is the one to the electric chair and even THAT'S too good for the likes of her.

TxLady2

01-11-2009, 01:58 AM

If she were merely a suspect in the death of her daughter, then it might benefit LE to allow her to go and watch her behavior. But she has been charged with the murder and awaiting trial... so it would be no benefit whatsoever to them. Not to mention the extra security that would be needed so that someone didn't shoot her or strangle her.
NO... she will not be allowed to go.

No way should the one who murdered Caylee be allowed to cry her crocodile tears at her funeral.

Very telling if she were allowed? I can agree with that. Although I doubt we would agree on what would be told.

I believe we would see a performance just shy of an Academy Award.

And it wouldn't benefit the prosecution in the least.

I agree. I absolutely do NOT think she should be allowed to go. What if every murderer wanted to go to their victim's funeral to relive their crime or just get out of jail and go on a field trip for the day? Would that be okay? Think of all the psycho murderers whose lawyers would use this case to fight for their clients right to go to the funeral of their victim.

No way, Jose (pardon the pun)... I don't understand why people are arguing whether she should be able to go. Did these same people argue that Marcus Wesson should have been allowed to go to the funerals of his victims -- his own children/grandchildren, which were born from incest and sexual abuse - which he then murdered?

I don't recall anyone wanting this guy to go to his victims/kids funerals:

01-11-2009, 02:29 AM

Absolutely not...She has already given Caylee her first funeral.....A trashbag for a coffin and a snake filled woods for her burial plot. She does not deserve to be near that child while she is "finally" being put to rest.

I believe it will serve no purpose for her to go to the funeral. If she does go it will cost the taxpayers and frankly I think all taxpayers pay too much now.
Why would she want to be there? I can see no reason to let her go. I also agree with the fact that her attorney would not let her go. She is so controlled by her attorney. I can well imagine her attorney does not want her anywhere near her parents, also I do not think she wants to see them either.

The only case I have heard where someone who was in jail was allowed to go to the funeral was the Vaughn family. I cannot for the life of me remember that guys first name. He shot and killed his whole family and then tried to blame it on someone else.
From what I have read and heard Casey has no remorse and has no feelings for anyone else. If she did Caylee would still be alive.
I suspect also that she would be in danger if word got out she was going to the funeral. I am not worried so much about her, but I do not want some weird person taking pot shots at her and harming Casey or any of the LE.

jmoo

Vaughn (gosh, can't remember his name, either) hadn't been arrested until I think the day before, after he had been @ the viewing. IIRC, he didn't go to the actual funeral.

I agree w/most points: one being, she should not be afforded any privileges that other prisoners do not get. And, funerals are to pay final respects to the deceased--she disrespected Caylee so much as to kill her--she has no respect. It WOULD cause a bigger cost to the FL taxpayers, as there would have to be extra security measures. I think Caylee should get a private funeral without all the media circus, and if Casey attended, you KNOW what it would be like. (Let the media cover a public memorial service, but still NO Casey!!!!)

I do not know the numbers in regards to how many inmates are allowed to attend funerals, however I would be willing to bet that those that are allowed to go to funerals are not charged with the murder of the deceased.

Totally agree with you. I think we've all seen the way Casey is and she would never show any kind of emotional reponse that would be telling in the least.

As for Fairmaiden's last sentence; it doesn't make any sense.

It makes no difference what we think. She's not going to be at the funeral. Can you imagine the media circus that would ensue? It would be absolutely impossible for the police to provide security.

As far as Iknow, her appearance at the funeral is not even a consideration.

Am sure her atty, who thinks so much of her, will attend then funeral and by some means Casey will be told or shown, by tape or by description. Maybe he will bring her one of those funeral cards. I doubt if she cares enough to put forth any effort on caylees behalf, to show remorse or honor her memory. Celebrate her short life. Gak!!! Casey is a real piece of work, for sure.

I don't think Casey should be allowed to goto Caylee's funeral. She's charged with her murder and LE says they have extensive evidence against her.

Not sure how one reaches 150% certainty, but would be willing to bet LE is 100% convinced.

Casey is not legally insane - she's a sociopath. As a sociopath, she could readily put on any act she wanted.

What was her reaction when her baby girl "went missing", BTW?

She lost the right to attend the funeral when she killed her daughter.

Respectfully, I think the letter-writing campaign is, well... Silliness. Frivolity.
