Friday Feb.6th Part I

[Cinsd]

Hey, it's Friday somewhere on the east coast. As we are 1000+ already.
Continue on my fellow posters.

Thank you, I don;t know why I get so up set when I hear things like casey selling pictures of caylee but it just really gets to me. It makes me wonder what does casey have in place of a heart. did anyone see the a;s lawyer on larryking tonight?

[martha]

I wonder who they will turn away from the church tomorrow. I hope everyone that get to go goes for the right reason. just for caylee.and caylee only.jmho

I was a bit confused by the take that NG had on selling the pictures. She was talking about it as though Casey was selling irreplaceable mementos, but, if it's photos, they can just print more. I truly hope that no one buys the photos. There are plenty of pictures of Caylee on the net.

We know that Dakota's grandmother was uninvited per an email exchange that was made public (sorry, no link). Cindy may have decided that she's still mad at Rick for telling her that Caylee was dead ... although she should have forgiven him by now. He only spoke the truth that she didn't want to hear. Now she knows he was right, so she should get over it.

It seems like an oxymoron to have a metal detector on a church, and all that stuff about no phones, cameras, purses, etc is just plain weird. I hope no one goes. I suppose they will be encouraged to bring their wallets?

Hundreds if not thousands of people are expected to gather to pay their respects to the toddler.

The family finalized plans Thursday for a memorial service for Caylee and everyone is welcome.

[Cinsd]

Caylee's service is tomorrow?

no, Tuesday the 10th

I'd boycott it too, but consider the source as to who arranged it.

That's updated from the article I read this morning which mentioned that there was a list of people that would not be allowed to attend.

[Cinsd]

That's updated from the article I read this morning which mentioned that there was a list of people that would not be allowed to attend.

Was it a public list? or was it a check in at the door along with all your belongings?

[Jester]

Was it a public list? or was it a check in at the door along with all your belongings?

There was no published list. Maybe people were expected to flash their ID before entering. It seems like such a strange event to me. Even if I lived across the street from the church, I would not attend. I think the whole show is staged and will be part of a made for TV movie that the Anthony's are hoping to cash in on. Maybe they'll be selling pictures of Caylee at the door ... don't know ... but something about this stinks.

[Jester]

Do you hope no one goes out of respect for Caylee, or out of hate for her grandparents?

Respect for Caylee. I see no reason to make a public spectacle out of their murdered granddaughter while their daughter sits in jail most likely guilty of committing the murder. Cindy sought to cash in on this from the very beginning, and I think she's still trying to cash in. I think they're stipulating that cameras are not allowed because they have their own film crew with exclusive rights to the footage.

Are they going to have bouncers frisking people in case they sneak in a camera or ping the metal detectors? Will bouncers be running around the church grabbing rule violators and tossing them out on the sidewalk? Will thugs be casing the cars for all the purses and cell phones? What kind of freak show will this be?

[happygert]

I'd boycott it too, but consider the source as to who arranged it.

I'd boycott it too...Yes I'd bet they forgot about them not bringing in purses..how are they going to buy the bracelets if they are selling them?...:lol: everyone can go just dont take wallets or their purses.. sales will surley be down......:biggrin: that'll fix them...

[happygert]

can someone tell me what time it will be starting PACIFIC TIME?

I want to make sure I'm up to see it

what time is it there now?

[Jester]

can someone tell me what time it will be starting PACIFIC TIME?

I want to make sure I'm up to see it

Wouldn't that be about 3 hours later? Not sure, might want to double check that.

[Cinsd]

Do you hope no one goes out of respect for Caylee, or out of hate for her grandparents?

For me, out of respect for Caylee. This production being put on is not for Caylee, it's GREED. I hope the Anthony's feel the pain & blame themselves each & everyday for the loss of their grand baby. They raised & enabled this evil predator & still standing by the witch.
The A's did nothing to protect this baby. Such a shame. Very, very sad.
Caylee is better off where she's at spiritually. Rest assured no more harm can come to her.

[Cinsd]

Wouldn't that be about 3 hours later? Not sure, might want to double check that.

7am pst, 10am est
I'm in CA & were 3 hrs earlier

[Cinsd]

What's the deal about the bracelets? That's just crazy, if it's true. As I've said before...Consider the source.
The truth & the Anthony's are strangers.
Greed & the Anthony's are NOT strangers.

[Jester]

7am pst, 10am est
I'm in CA & were 3 hrs earlier

Sorry ... don't know what I was thinking ... yes, 3 hours earlier.

[Jester]

Its a wonderful thing that no one can be forced to attend the event, or forced to offer donations. I trust you will be staying home and not attending Caylee's memorial service, which you refer to as the freak show.

Don't get me wrong. I think Caylee's life should be honored, but I'm old fashioned about things like that and really believe it should be a private, respectful ceremony. The Anthonys sold video for $200,000. They want to sell photos of Caylee now, and they were still trying to sell "find Caylee" t-shirts after her body was discovered. Everything about this looks like a money grab. I think Cindy knew from the beginning that Casey murdered Caylee, and she has done everything since that time to market the murder as a missing child and profit off the murder.

[Cinsd]

does anyone know which station or online link will be broadcasting it?

I suppose i could check at 7am and see if anyone has posted a link... maybe that would be easier

anyways thanks cinsd for clarifying the time it will start... i wasnt sure if it would be 4hrs earlier or 3 hrs earlier

:)

Your welcome & wftv says they'll be showing it online, from what I read. I'll find the link.

Here it is http://www.wftv.com/news/18651683/detail.html
WFTV.com expects to be able to provide a live video feed online of the service

[Cinsd]

ohhhh awesome!!

thank you so much! :)

No problem, yvw

Kit missed your time give me your time that you have now.what state do you live in?

[happygert]

[happygert]

ok it should be 7 am your time....its 2:45 here and they are 1 hour behind me...

[happygert]

no problem :)

I wasn't sure if it would be 3 or 4 hours earlier and i kinda want to see at least part of it... but yikes... I tend to stay up really late so... Ill have to see if I can get up at 7am LOL!

lol I know... i dont sleep much Im a night owl...Im sure they have it where we can watch it if we miss it live..

[Cinsd]

I always find it confusing because it seems to me that some parts of eastcoast USA are 4 hrs earlier than my time.... would that just be up in the New York area?

Is it further east than florida?

Does this help? I thought there was a 4hr. difference in some places too.

I bet those same people who are advocating that others should not attend the memorial will be glued to their tv sets taking notes to further attempt to belittle and ridicule the Anthonys. Does anyone know the address of the Church offhand. I'd like to send flowers.

Are you suggesting that some people may look at an event that should be a private family memorial as just another reality TV show? I won't make any special arrangements to watch this particular reality TV show. I don't really like reality TV shows, but the idea of a reality TV funeral is certainly novel.

Any thoughts on why people are not allowed to take a purse to this particular funeral? That seems so unladylike. People often tear up at funerals. Should the attendees use their sleeves, or shove a handkerchief down their blouses?

The whole thing is bizarre.

[Jester]

I wonder how much the TV stations are paying for the privilege of taking a camera through the metal detectors into the church.

I certainly will boycott this reality show. Due to the facts & how this baby was murdered, I would deem this a private service to honor baby Caylee. This greed will bite them where it hurts most.

[Cinsd]

this is no surprise

Q. Can Casey Anthony watch the service on television?

A. It's possible. She can request to watch television during the one hour per day she is allowed out of her cell, but as of Thursday evening, no one had made that request.

typical selfish b**ch

probably would rather sleep in than get up and watch the service... :rolleyes:

ITA She's despicable, a non-entity. I can't comprehend how the A's can defend her & not stand up for Caylee as she was just a baby. It ticks me off to no end.

[Cinsd]

Casey Anthony, 22, was heard last Saturday night saying a well-known 18th century child's prayer:

Jester, I think you hit it right on the nail, it is looking exactly a reality show. I don't like or watch them either but that's not a criticism of people who do. I'm not going to watch it, though I'm interested to see how people deal with the 'rules'. For me, even if I cared and wanted to go, all those restrictions would turn me off and I'd stay home. i have better things to do. I don't have to go to a dog and pony show to do the respect thing.

I think the same. It will probably be hard for her to try to work up the proper show of emotion, especially now that she's probably gotten lazy and out of practice. A discreet tip of the finger to the eye, that's how she reacts to strong emotion. Oh no....wait, she'll probably get some coaching by then: "Kleenex, Casey, remember to pull out the Kleenex!"

Another one of those 'sources'???
So Casey, never heard to pray before, suddenly recites a children's bedtime prayer out loud so everybody can hear her doing it? Can I say I doubt her sincerity?

[PuffDragon]

She's learning her prayers. Link upthread posted by Cinsd.

I suppose it was the next step. Wonder if the wardens checked in her cell for a crib sheet?

Is it further east than florida?

Morning everyone. :-)
Kit, if it's further east than Florida, I think you'll need a life vest. ;-)

I agree that this isn't for Caylee, it's for the Anthony's and another show. Cindy is already showing control by saying everyone is invited but they will toss certain people out. That isn't for everyone. It shows control, vindictiveness and a mean spirit. And that right there makes it a sham. If I lived closeby, I would not attend, I'll honor Caylee's memory in my own quiet way and donate to a charity or Tim's group as well.

[n/t]

I was reading NG transcripts and it was mentioned that Cindy can decide who gets in or not. How will she do that? Will she be standing there screening the people going in or what? If one of the people who she doesn't want there show up, will they be taken away by bodyguards?

If they're so afraid of security threats, why hold a public memorial? And please don't tell me they're doing this for the public. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT AT ALL!

I pray it'll be a peaceful ceremony and totally dedicated to CAYLEE.

I agree. It already shows a total disregard for the place it's being held in...a church. Who supposedly turns no one away. To me she is being sacrilegious at the very least. But it's what I have come to expect out of the Anthony's.

I agree Kath. It's a crying shame that this baby girl can't even be honoured with dignity and respect even in death. If it's a public memorial, it's public PERIOD. If the Anthonys don't want certain people there, they should've held a private one with invited guests only.

I guess we shouldn't be all that surprised though. Sadly, it's been a circus from day 31.

I hope they don't display photos of the accused murderer. I think that will only stir up trouble, imo.

I was thinking about how much this was going to cost and just had a weird thought. Maybe there's really no memorial in the works at all.......

Maybe next Tuesday they will have a PC and say that because of the logistical problems and the issue of security, plus the unexpected negative reaction of the public, they have determined it would not be wise to allow this memorial service to take place after all. That the family has decided to have a simple and private goodbye service at a later time. if anyone who was planning to attend should want to send a contribution.........

There. They made the effort. Accomplished the same thing in the end without all the work. (The more I thought about it the more it seems possible).

[crymeariver2006]

I think I heard (maybe on Nancy? at least that's checkable) that it's going to be a pool, one filmmaker feeding out to the other stations outside.

I believe it is the church's own video and sound equipment that will provide the feed.

(Much like any feed they provide local channels for regular worship services.)

*Bolding mine.

Exactly what I've been thinking. I don't know where they come off dictating who can or can't go. If I wanted to I could go out today and attend every funeral in the city and nobody could say I wasn't 'invited' and make me leave. Public is public.

Anything is possible with the A's. Is it true about the bracelets, or just rumor?

Somebody opined earlier last night that some of the church members might be the security force. That's kind of scary to think about.

Wow you said it perfectly. Caylee's short life and her murder has become a reality show. It is so true that many people are finding ways to make money off of Caylee's murder, Casey, her lawyers, the A's, their lawyers, and the list goes on and on.

The memorial that was set up where Caylee's body was found is the way people honored Caylee's memory, it did not become a show to be broadcast across the nation. I believe this memorial is being used as a means for the A's to defend Casey. Remember Casey would not harm Caylee.

I agree with what another poster stated. Donate to a charity or Tim Miller as a way to honor Caylee.

[PuffDragon]

Anything is possible with the A's. Is it true about the bracelets, or just rumor?

Well, I wasn't awake all night so I don't know, but before I fell asleep it was part of the speculation snowball.

[n/t]

I just had a horrible thought. I hope the Anthony's communicated with those who they do not want attending to save them from heartache of showing up and then not being allowed in.

First people who came to mind are Jesse Grund and his family. This is why it's so appalling to me that Cindy dictates who can be allowed in or not. These people are there to honour Caylee. A little girl they love. It's not about the case, it's not about the Anthonys. Regardless of how the public feels about the case or about the grandparents or about Casey. It's not about that! It's about Caylee!

It's beginning to sound like all the people who cared the most about Caylee are being put on the 'not welcome' list. The public is invited, as long as it it doesn't include anyone who actually knew her.

Puffy, I read one poster ask "is it true............" and then people just ran with it. That poster didn't even say where or when she had heard it. Personally I think it was just stirring things up. No link was ever given, far as I know.

[PuffDragon]

*snipped*

hehe.. what i was trying to say (badly now that i reread it lol) was "is New York further east than florida?"... i thought New York might stick out into the atlantic further so that it's in Atlantic Time like Nova Scotia instead of Eastern Time.

I was mixed up... it's eastern Canada not eastern USA that's 4 & 5 hrs ahead of us out here on the WETcoast :biggrin:

So did you make me some tea or did ya just log on to give me a geography lesson? LOL!!! (just jokin) :tonguewag:

are you going to watch the memorial Kathlb?

I've got some good strong English Breakfast tea now if ya want some Kit.

The only jail 'sources' we ever hear from present Casey in a positive light. Amazing, I say, just amazing.

Good Morning.

Because of

The service is open to the public, but the Anthony family is reserving the right to refuse entry to certain people.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-casey0609feb06,0,6625021.story

I think this will be another sideshow for the circus. I have never heard of a memorial service that denies entry to certain people. I will not watch.

[PuffDragon]

I'll be right over... with bells on! :tongue:

Got any scones?

[PuffDragon]

I'll roll over to your place right after i drain PD's teapot and eat all her cookies :tongueside:

We are united in this sentiment.

Baez and LKB going to be on the Today show this morning...

[Pomme]

And might I add that I feel sick about this 'memorial' - I have a terrible feeling about it and I wished the A's had simply said:
"We are devastated by Caylee's death and need to grieve privately. We appreciate the public's grief as well and ask that you donate in her name to <insert child advocacy group here>." It would have made me so much more sympathetic to them. But now - I'm just :cursing: about this whole thing.

The teaser is that they are comparing Casey's case to 'The Fugitive'. Oh brother indeed.:sneaky:

[BJames]

Just a question for anyone in the know?

I have read that Casey can indeed watch the Memorial on television, but as of Thursday night had not made a request for the 'time slot'?
I am wondering...If someone else asks for that time in the television/day room before Casey makes any request...is it first come, first served?
And if the inmate requests their time and even wants to watch the Memorial at 10 am, would more than one of them be allowed to watch it together?
It seems like there is one television shared in a common room, and only one person allowed in at a time.
Does anyone know how that works?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows...:smile:

[Pomme]

Unfortunately my friends I have to leave for work so I can't watch and report...although there's a part of me which feels that it's not so unfortunate! They make me sick...

[Leanne Weich]

Are you suggesting that some people may look at an event that should be a private family memorial as just another reality TV show? I won't make any special arrangements to watch this particular reality TV show. I don't really like reality TV shows, but the idea of a reality TV funeral is certainly novel.

Any thoughts on why people are not allowed to take a purse to this particular funeral? That seems so unladylike. People often tear up at funerals. Should the attendees use their sleeves, or shove a handkerchief down their blouses?

The whole thing is bizarre.

I am suggesting that people are viewing this as a reality show and, maybe even the Anthony's are, but I don't know that to be a fact either. I do believe that a lot of people have built a somewhat unhealthy obsession with little Caylee and are deservedly mad at Casey. I personally don't like a hell of a lot of what the Anthonys have done nor how they have conducted themselves but, by the same token, never having been in their shoes I don't know how I'd react if my daughter was facing life in prison.

I think the As have probably been advised not to allow purses or backpacks in the memorial as they are, after all, probably one of the most, if not the most, hated family in Florida at the moment. Nothing to stop a nutcase going there with a gun to exact revenge on themm imo. There could, of course, be the ulterior motive of ensuring that nobody can take photos and/or videos which could then be sold. I think it will be bad enough if the As sell the rights to the memorial but they have more right than an outsider. Hopefully, they will have tissues placed strategically around the pews for the benefit of the mourners. JMOOC.

That's what Grins was talking about the other day. The only correlation is the fugitive is based on Dr. Shepard.

He had his conviction overturned due to much information released before the start of trial. That was in Ohio 1966 no sunshine law existed. He was in jail for 10 years before this was over turned.

IF this is what they are referring to that would be a stratedgy that would serve them better kept under wraps.

Secondly to go this route tells me they know she is guilty and is as I thought all along. Their main goal is to find a technicality as they have nothing to defend her with.

[Regina.Lampert]

I knew the anthonys were incapable of having a dignified service for Caylee Anthony. IMO, there was no respect for this little one in life, I'm not surprised in the least how terribly she is being treated, by those that are supposed to love her, in death.

The anthonys arranging "Presidential" type security speaks of just how highly they think of themselves, imo. Slowly and surely they are turning this service into another circus. Keeping certain people out is mean and ugly.

As tone deaf as the anthonys are, I am not putting it past them to mention Caylee's murderer during this service, in a glowing way in connection with Caylee. The attendees may even be treated to photos and videos, attempting to show "The Mother of the Year" with the child she murdered. I put NOTHING past cynthia anthony.

Poor Caylee.

[Leanne Weich]

I think it is the norm these days for there to be public memorial services for child murder victims. Samantha Runion, Danielle van Dam and Jessica Lunsford are 3 I recall off the top of my head. Clearly though, none of them were killed by their mother.

I do think it is the right thing to do but i disagree with all the hoopla that is accompanying it - eg: right of admission reserved. It is m.o. that if the As are adamant that there are people who should not attend then they should video whatever they wish to say and just not attend personally. That would take a lot of angst out of the day for everyone and it could be a true celebration of Caylee's little life.

Can you imagine if one of the people Cindy or George had a run in with during the protests outside their home pitch up and are refused entrance, what a ruckus could ensue?

[really3997]

They actually SAID that? You gotta be kidding!

Merideth said that they think they are being compared to them...I would like to add if you go to the national Media about this case and tell the reporter you can't talk about the case is that really worth the money these networks dole out....I would want my money back....

[sofiesmom]

JB said they want to "scream it from the rooftop" (what Casey's defense will be). This going to be so interesting, or very disappointing. The Today Show interview was obviously just a defense posturing opportunity.

I had brought up at the time that hearing what they were doing reminded me of something and I couldn't put my finger on it. When I figured it out it was the same thing as Obama's Innnaugeration event.

I don't put anything past Cindy Anthony either. I believe wholeheartedly Casey will be peppered through out this service to be broadcast.

Although I'll find that disgusting and disingenuous it will leave Baez and LKB without a leg to stand on claiming Casey was ONLY villified in the media.

Leave it to Cindy to help the state out by getting media coverage.

Can they really think there's a one-armed nanny out there somewhere? Thanks for the early morning laugh.

What a spectacle. The A's are good at that.

I suspect the Grund's and LP are on the barred list.

[Pruddennce]

I was a bit confused by the take that NG had on selling the pictures. She was talking about it as though Casey was selling irreplaceable mementos, but, if it's photos, they can just print more. I truly hope that no one buys the photos. There are plenty of pictures of Caylee on the net.

I agree. there is nothing sensational about caylee (not being disrespectful), she is a little girl who lost her short life, with the mom accused of murdering her.

for instance, Jon Bonet was a child model, with sensational type photos (a curiosity with the 'dress up like an adult thing going on')......they are controversial pics in some circles. Caylee? playing in a sandbox, wearing various little girl outfits? nothing about her to evoke conversation other than another a beautiful innocent child murdered.

my wager is on pics with CASEY and her.....psychopathy is the draw...

IMO

Attempting to influence the public's sentiment about casey anthony thru this service is appalling. I don't think her name should even be mentioned.

Your welcome & wftv says they'll be showing it online, from what I read. I'll find the link.

Here it is http://www.wftv.com/news/18651683/detail.html
WFTV.com expects to be able to provide a live video feed online of the service

I wish the media was not going to show this.
But then it seems that everyone wants a piece of CAYLEE....
For all sorts of reasons.
I just think it is in bad taste...but that is just me.

I have to say that selling pictures of a murdered child by the murderer(to pay for her defense) is about the most disgusting thing I have ever heard .
Just when you think you have heard it all then something like this comes around.
Against the law or not ....it is morally indefensible IMO.

Why don't we just wait and see what really happens on Tuesday, Regina? Plenty of time after the service to discuss. No one really knows if photos of Casey will be shown. I hope not!

"We are devastated by Caylee's death and need to grieve privately. We appreciate the public's grief as well and ask that you donate in her name to <insert child advocacy group here>." It would have made me so much more sympathetic to them. But now - I'm just :cursing: about this whole thing.

There was no published list. Maybe people were expected to flash their ID before entering. It seems like such a strange event to me. Even if I lived across the street from the church, I would not attend. I think the whole show is staged and will be part of a made for TV movie that the Anthony's are hoping to cash in on. Maybe they'll be selling pictures of Caylee at the door ... don't know ... but something about this stinks.


My opinion/my guess/my thoughts only
I believe there will be a video of photos of Casey with Caylee. A letter read from Casey as to how much she loved Caylee and misses her. This is going to be a "we all need to support casey" And yes
I believe they will accept donations and possibly sell the bracelts and maybe t-shirts. (maybe they will have new ones printed) Caylee will not be mentioned as much as Casey and as always will come in last. I think this is in poor taste, but no less than what I would expect from Cindy.

I wish the Anthony's would have a private ceremony for Caylee. I question their motivations for doing a public ceremony. They've never been fond of all of us 'maggots' cause we didn't comply with what they wanted. So why have it, for US?

It's a no win sitation for them, IMO.

If they don't have it, the public will find more reasons to dislike them.

While they may not like us, I feel they've been advised by Conway, and others, that they need to do this because Caylee has became Orlando's child and the public is expecting a memorial for her. IMO

[nc1948]

Do you hope no one goes out of respect for Caylee, or out of hate for her grandparents?

Exiled, I hope no one goes because a funeral/memorial (I think) should be for friends and family. I have never attended a funeral or memorial for someone I did not know ( and doubt if
I ever will)

Good morning all,


Casey is in a cell by herself....she only gets to watch TV 1 hour a day...and I guess the guards are the only ones she can talk to...Casey did mention to Cindy on one of her taped visits that she hears remarks thrown at her all the time....so I assume that other inmates are close by in other cells but she has no contact with them other then thru bars...or from across cells.....

OMG! I just watched it. From LKB Dr. Sam Shepard was the person that seemed to be so guilty that the locals made him so guilty he ran from the law turns out he was innocent!

THAT WAS A FRIGGIN MOVIE!!!! FICTION!

The real Dr. Sam Shepard that this is base on was found GUILTY and after 10 years in prison his conviction was overturned due to a technicality! NOT NEW EVIDENCE TO FIND HIM NOT GUILTY!

OMFREAKING GOD!

Secondly to go this route tells me they know she is guilty and is as I thought all along. Their main goal is to find a technicality as they have nothing to defend her with.

Wow, now that you've laid it out I can see what Baez means, I suppose. But if that's the best parallel he could come up with I have my doubts it's going to work. Dr. Shepard wasn't a sympathetic character that people were happy to see released on a technicality. Baez really should stop trying to come up with obscure references like this and just go defend her as well as he can.

[nc1948]

I was thinking about how much this was going to cost and just had a weird thought. Maybe there's really no memorial in the works at all.......

Maybe next Tuesday they will have a PC and say that because of the logistical problems and the issue of security, plus the unexpected negative reaction of the public, they have determined it would not be wise to allow this memorial service to take place after all. That the family has decided to have a simple and private goodbye service at a later time. if anyone who was planning to attend should want to send a contribution.........

There. They made the effort. Accomplished the same thing in the end without all the work. (The more I thought about it the more it seems possible).

Very possible.

Yes, I agree with that thought, Barb.

However, I don't think they will be left alone until they make a public statement about the situation.

The media wants to get a reply from Cindy about Casey being a killer and Caylee being dead. It's like the money shot!!!:drool:

OMG! I just watched it. From LKB Dr. Sam Shepard was the person that seemed to be so guilty that the locals made him so guilty he ran from the law turns out he was innocent!

THAT WAS A FRIGGIN MOVIE!!!! FICTION!

The real Dr. Sam Shepard that this is base on was found GUILTY and after 10 years in prison his conviction was overturned due to a technicality! NOT NEW EVIDENCE TO FIND HIM NOT GUILTY!

OMFREAKING GOD!

Well now Neffy - you have to understand. As the reporter said, LKB had to go back 50 YEARS to find a case that she felt was even a little bit similar to this one.

I love Cassidy's "one-armed nanny" theory !!!

[nc1948]

I just had a horrible thought. I hope the Anthony's communicated with those who they do not want attending to save them from heartache of showing up and then not being allowed in.

First people who came to mind are Jesse Grund and his family. This is why it's so appalling to me that Cindy dictates who can be allowed in or not. These people are there to honour Caylee. A little girl they love. It's not about the case, it's not about the Anthonys. Regardless of how the public feels about the case or about the grandparents or about Casey. It's not about that! It's about Caylee!

It was not about Caylee in life and definitely will not be about Caylee now. I would never attend this circus (Even if I were close) I will donate to local charity or TES. I will not donate or attend the Help Casey defense fund and show.

[PuffDragon]

Merideth said that they think they are being compared to them...I would like to add if you go to the national Media about this case and tell the reporter you can't talk about the case is that really worth the money these networks dole out....I would want my money back....

Don't the programs claim to not pay for those interviews? So actually they're getting what they pay for.......

[Neffy]

Even Meredith is saying Shepard was vindicated HE WAS NOT VINDICATED! Overturned on a technicallity.

As a matter of fact after his fathers death his son Reese tried to get him vindicated NO GO!

Talk about your spin! This isn't even spin come to think of it. It's false and a lie.

[PuffDragon]

JB said they want to "scream it from the rooftop" (what Casey's defense will be). This going to be so interesting, or very disappointing. The Today Show interview was obviously just a defense posturing opportunity.

You thought it would be anything else???:confused:

[marshmallow]

Good grief!!! He certainly has an inflated sense of their own importance, doesn't he? :rolleyes:


too funny.but too bad he cannot get past the facts.

how does them going on tv regularly hinder his change of venue motion? isn't he trying to taint the jury pool with his nation-wide tv appearances?

Neffy, it's obvious that truth is not their goal. Face time...that's the money play.

[Destini]

So if there's a fugitive out there why hasn't a sketch been put out to the media to try to find this person? How about notifying LE so they can put out an APB? Why do nothing except talk about how it will be revealed at trial? Don't they want Caylee's killer caught?

Only one answer to this one in my mind ..... smoke & mirrors, hoping one juror will buy it.

[nc1948]

Thanks SS, that's kind the way I remembered it too but I was falling asleep by then.

Savannah and Puffdragon---The board last night was discussing the bracelet that was hidden in her clothes that were brought for her to wear into court last hearing. Then someone said well maybe they would sell them at memorial as they thought the Anthonys had order lots. I think that is where it started. ----and of course has continued into another day. I have seen no links. I think this can be put into the unsubstantiated rumor column. (but I can believe they will do it)

Why did Casey lie about the identity of who took Caylee in the first place?

Yeah, I know, she was fearful that person would harm Caylee and her family.:rolleyes:

Same reason she thought she could handle the sitation herself. :rolleyes:

[Barbara fl.]

Wow, now that you've laid it out I can see what Baez means, I suppose. But if that's the best parallel he could come up with I have my doubts it's going to work. Dr. Shepard wasn't a sympathetic character that people were happy to see released on a technicality. Baez really should stop trying to come up with obscure references like this and just go defend her as well as he can.


I think that this defense team is really not concerned about getting Casey off (they know thats impossible) they will be shooting for a hung jury (which for them is a win)....They all took this case for the high profile status.....nothing else....From now on all the criminals in Orlando and surrounding areas now about "Baez"...he will get alot of business from this case....as well as the other attornies......This is also the case for ZG's attorneys....just for the publicity....

LKB will use ANY low tactic to achieve a hung jury....she is the one to be careful for.....Baez is too new at the game....(but he'll probably learn alot from this case).....JMOO

[Regina.Lampert]

Why don't we just wait and see what really happens on Tuesday, Regina? Plenty of time after the service to discuss. No one really knows if photos of Casey will be shown. I hope not!

As far as security.....I spoke on that subject last night. In my opinion, it doesn't show they think highly of themselves, it shows they understand the high profile nature of this case and the public's hatred of them. It only takes one "nut"......

IMO.

If you want to wait until after the circus to discuss it, be my guest SS. I am discussing it now.

They will have to come up with some really really thick smoke to cover up the facts then.

During s Peterson's trial, we had to painfully listen to a couple of posters constantly throw "Dr Sam Sheppard" in our faces!

At any rate, Jose Baez must have been reading back then. Too bad it seems that he didn't even excel at Lying 101.

[Kathlb]

Me too, they announced it nation-wide, we can discuss it.

[marshmallow]

I think it was me that started that. I asked early last evening if anyone thought there might be items for sale at this show they're putting on. It was a question, not a statement and I still wonder if it will happen. Or if it will happen on line directly afterwards. It is in no way a fact or a truth, still just a question.


I never meant to start a wave but a discussion did break out.

[msgatorslayer]

I have not ever been on a jury and I am curious to know what kinds of questions are asked of potential jury members. How is it decided who will serve on the jury and who will not? :confused:

Potential jurors in Florida are selected randomly through DMV. Anyone with a license or ID card can get called.

The state and defense takes turns asking questions. And they take turns striking people out that they don't want.

Questions vary depending on the side asking and what kind of person they are looking for.

One great thing about Florida, we learned with the Couey trial that Florida will even show jury selection. Just not the potential jurors faces and information.

A big question will be what they know about the case.

[CelticDawn]

If you want to wait until after the circus to discuss it, be my guest SS. I am discussing it now.

Do you think Lois will crash it?....Or even some of Caseys "friends"....Not that I think any of them would want any more association with that family...

I am sure that the Grunds have already said their goodbyes in their own way and won't bother with a three ring circus <oh wait...How many rings can a circus have???>

[PuffDragon]

Good luck with that!!:laugh:

Morning, everyone.

I wish the Anthony's would have a private ceremony for Caylee. I question their motivations for doing a public ceremony. They've never been fond of all of us 'maggots' cause we didn't comply with what they wanted. So why have it, for US?

It's a no win sitation for them, IMO.

If they don't have it, the public will find more reasons to dislike them.

While they may not like us, I feel they've been advised by Conway, and others, that they need to do this because Caylee has became Orlando's child and the public is expecting a memorial for her. IMO

What they're doing is a deliberate spectacle. There are plenty of other ways........

For one: they could have had a quiet memorial in that nice Baptist church that welcomed them, and taped or televised it, everybody who wanted could be there in spirit.

[Regina.Lampert]

My opinion/my guess/my thoughts only
I believe there will be a video of photos of Casey with Caylee. A letter read from Casey as to how much she loved Caylee and misses her. This is going to be a "we all need to support casey" And yes
I believe they will accept donations and possibly sell the bracelts and maybe t-shirts. (maybe they will have new ones printed) Caylee will not be mentioned as much as Casey and as always will come in last. I think this is in poor taste, but no less than what I would expect from Cindy. I really wish everyone would stay home.



NC, I hadn't thought of a special message from the murderer being read at this circus, but it's certainly possible with this bunch, imo. :cuss:

[CelticDawn]

I still think that as obnoxious as these people <Cindy particularly> have been....they should say goodbye privately.....but thats just me....Theyve been through enough....

[Neffy]

Neffy, it's obvious that truth is not their goal. Face time...that's the money play.

Speaking of the truth anyone wanna let LKB know what a loser she is LOL! She thinks she's the saving grace here and revered and looked up to? GEEZ!

[msgatorslayer]

Thank you!

YW. I'm originally from "Illinois" with the S being silent.:laugh:

The defense is going to want more men than woman. They will try hard, IMO, to get women without children. To many mothers on Casey's jury will sink her, hard.

[i_pickle]

The Today Show appearance - Jose and LKB

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/29050992#29050992Thanks for the link.

LKB and Baez do have a point. We do have the presumption of innocence in this country. But they are crazy if they think that people can't form opinions based on the information we do know.

And LKB's references to Hitler and Osama bin Laden is just sleazy hyperbole, imo. Shame on her.

[Regina.Lampert]

OMG! I just watched it. From LKB Dr. Sam Shepard was the person that seemed to be so guilty that the locals made him so guilty he ran from the law turns out he was innocent!

THAT WAS A FRIGGIN MOVIE!!!! FICTION!

The real Dr. Sam Shepard that this is base on was found GUILTY and after 10 years in prison his conviction was overturned due to a technicality! NOT NEW EVIDENCE TO FIND HIM NOT GUILTY!

OMFREAKING GOD!

casey anthony ain't no Harrison Ford!

In the real Shephard case there was no change of venue either. This case is nothing like that one, only in b&b's dreams, imo.


:seeya:

[Neffy]

During s Peterson's trial, we had to painfully listen to a couple of posters constantly throw "Dr Sam Sheppard" in our faces!

At any rate, Jose Baez must have been reading back then. Too bad it seems that he didn't even excel at Lying 101.

OH Nooooooooo! I followed that case off and on thankfully I missed the "shepard" in your face thing. LOL!

That happened in my neck of the woods so I keep forgetting that it's national and still being compared to. I mean I have a friend who's mother's friend was the housekeeper there and she says GUILTY.

Is that hearsay ROFLMAO!

But just to give a picture that it's still discussed here. When the house was torn down it was a big deal too!

[msgatorslayer]

I still think that as obnoxious as these people <Cindy particularly> have been....they should say goodbye privately.....but thats just me....Theyve been through enough....

I wonder if they have any long term goals for a memorial for Caylee.

I thought of this when I read that Mark Lunsford's annual Jessie's Riders will be kicking off at the end of the month.

Citrus County, to honor and remember Jessie, has the "Jessie's Place' child in need center. Which works with the Sheriff to help kids. They also have a park in Jessie's name.

Down in Sarasota, a butterfly garden was made to honor Carlie Brucia.

I guess I shouldn't compare those cases though. Those families were actually greatful for all the community did to help them.

[Destini]

Why did Casey lie about the identity of who took Caylee in the first place?

Yeah, I know, she was fearful that person would harm Caylee and her family.:rolleyes:

Same reason she thought she could handle the sitation herself. :rolleyes:

If they really believed this defense, they would be doing everything they could to try to find this "fugitive" so they could be arrested & Casey could be released from jail. Especially now that this poor child's body has been found. They can't use the excuse people are in danger. Anthonys could be put in witness protection or something IF IT WERE TRUE.

I don't even know why they say anything to the media, just makes them look inept IMO.

[Neffy]

casey anthony ain't no Harrison Ford!

Baez just might work as F Lee Bailey that slimey piece of trash.

[PuffDragon]

too funny.but too bad he cannot get past the facts.

how does them going on tv regularly hinder his change of venue motion? isn't he trying to taint the jury pool with his nation-wide tv appearances?

That's what I keep thinking. The only things that would taint the jury pool have come out because of him. There are no LE leaks. Only Team Casey and her entourage are leaking.
What a tactic. If you want a change of venue you just get your face out in front of a camera and say anything and everything you can, start rumors, complain about rumors, point fingers........ then claim the jury pool has been tainted. An amazing concept!!

[CelticDawn]

NC, I hadn't thought of a special message from the murderer being read at this circus, but it's certainly possible with this bunch, imo. :cuss:


Oh now that would be a disastrous PR move!!!!....

I do think that its not really realistic for them to totally cut casey off....although I think I would be in jail for killing her myself if I were Cindy>....I just cant see ever just cutting your kid completely off....but I surely wouldnt have her even mentioned at the funeral of my grandchild that she killed!!!

[nc1948]

[Motomom]

Good morning all. Just watched that today interview and they need to stay home. Stop complaining about the media and then going to it.. then expecting not to get certain questions asked. why else are they going on to these shows? They are on repeat IMO and every so often throw in something ridiculous, like hitler comparisons and bin laden comparisons and comparing cases that can't be compared.. and no explanation for the baby's dead body being in the trunk of her mothers car.. I just don't understand why they are going on these shows.

I'm curious as to who here will be watching this memorial. I've only seen a few people who haven't been complaining about it.. few LOL so I'm guessing nobody plans on watching?

[Neffy]

Well now Neffy - you have to understand. As the reporter said, LKB had to go back 50 YEARS to find a case that she felt was even a little bit similar to this one.

His tactics do nothing to help me have any respect for defense lawyers, and I'm sure there are plenty of good, hard-worked defense lawyers who care about seeing people rights protected and justice served.

Perry Mason, where are you when we need you????

[BJames]

I guess it makes me wonder..

In the long haul, who will be 'remembered' the most?

Casey Marie Anthony

Cindy Marie Anthony

Caylee Marie Anthony
or
The Anthony Family?

It is going to be a while until the trial, but I wonder who has the most recognized name right now? And will it change as time goes by?

[Regina.Lampert]

Do you think Lois will crash it?....Or even some of Caseys "friends"....Not that I think any of them would want any more association with that family...

I am sure that the Grunds have already said their goodbyes in their own way and won't bother with a three ring circus <oh wait...How many rings can a circus have???>

I doubt if Lois, Lenny or any of the people the anthonys have publicly denigrated will go. Wonder if anyone from the OCSD will attend?

I'm hoping that they have somebody wise advising them in regards to this. I doubt it, but I'll wait until after Tuesday. I do think they will include photos of casey, but I hope not. I don't think they will be selling anything and I hope they don't pass on a message from Casey. I hope she is not mentioned..but who knows with this family.

[marshmallow]

I said last night, and it's only my opinion, that this production number Cindy's putting on is all for Casey. If it weren't being taped for Casey to watch then I bet it would've been cancelled.

My hope is that people, like me or you, chose to send any donations or put any money for flowers/balloons/etc into our own communities in Caylee's name. I hope people don't donate to the Anthony-a-thon and instead give a cash or clothing donation to their local home for battered/abused women and children, or to a shelter for families in need or, to their local churches for families misplaced by fire or disaster. If it's done in Caylee's name then Caylee's memory will flourish and you will know your money or used clothing/basic supplies donations will have a real purpose. It's a wonderful way to honor Caylee without feeding the circus.

[marshmallow]

I won't be watching it. But I will offer up a prayer when the show sets off. I don't watch a lot of the hype so I'm comfortable with my decision to not watch what I think is really just a tribute for Casey.

well to he77 with caylee's "FAMILY".....I think CAYLEE herself would be appreciative....and it could be done by ordinary citizens for HER Memory....Of course some folks might not like it....but thats them....

How could they disallow the public to memorialize cayklee? I dont think theyd have a legal leg to stand on.

[Barbara fl.]

Why did Casey lie about the identity of who took Caylee in the first place?

Yeah, I know, she was fearful that person would harm Caylee and her family.:rolleyes:

Same reason she thought she could handle the sitation herself. :rolleyes:



Yah....by partying....I hope she knows her partying days are over...all her lies have surfaced now...the best place for her now is right where she is...

I really don't see how her family even would forgive her for all this...maybe if she fessed up at the beginning and said it was an accident....but under these circumstances, and all the lies, I doubt very strongly that I would be standing by my daughter at all.....JMOO

[Motomom]

I doubt if Lois, Lenny or any of the people the anthonys have publicly denigrated will go. Wonder if anyone from the OCSD will attend?

Oh I think Lois will be there front and center. Probably waiting at the door to get in. With her granddaughter in tow. I'm guessing she'll be the first to initiate any kind of drama. Hopefully I'm wrong, but her history is there for all to see, so who knows.

[KittyMom]

Since Cindy is angry with her brother Rick and not speaking to Shirley and thinks that George's sister is crazy, what extended family members will attend this "memorial"?

BTW, I think "memorial" is an excellent term to use. This is going to be a showcase of moments that Cindy deems true representations of Casey as "mom". This is a way to try to influence public perception about Casey.

[nc1948]

I think it was me that started that. I asked early last evening if anyone thought there might be items for sale at this show they're putting on.

I never meant to start a wave but a discussion did break out.

I agree, I believe it will happen. You asked a question and another poster took it as fact. That happens a lot on here. But we are only trying to understand the House of Anthony which I think is totally impossible. Some of us speed read(Me) and misread or misunderstand. i do not think anyone posts incorrect information on purpose. that is why I like this board and these posters because we eventually get to the correct information. We question each other, ask for links, and honestly want the truth.

My guess would be that is the way she justifies not calling the authorities. (She had a script) I think it would have been better if she left the "kidnapper" unknown. Course that would not have helped after LE found out she was lying about the job. She could have saved herself a lot of thinking had she not tried to connect ZG. One lie begat another lie. JMO

[AMS]

I doubt if Lois, Lenny or any of the people the anthonys have publicly denigrated will go. Wonder if anyone from the OCSD will attend?

I can't see Lenny staying away.

I figure Geraldo and brother Craig will either be bouncers or roving reporters talking with people as they approach the church. IMO.

Do you think Cindy's brother Rick will be invited?

I'll probably be watching, I pray for Caylee every night.....but I do want to see the Anthony's showing some grief for Caylee....I haven't seen any signs of grief from Cindy or Lee....I believe George showed his grief in what he did recently...I also feel that George doesn't care whether Casey goes to jail for the rest of her life....I think he was only going along with what Cindy wanted.....

IMO, they are going to have to decide whether to let this kill them or go on with what is left of their lives....maybe, just maybe Cindy will come to terms with what happened and her and George can go on with life....Lee will probably spring back once this is all over...I understand he has a child on the way and that will help a great deal....as for Casey...she should and probably will rot in jail....JMOO

[?noanswer]

I have not ever been on a jury and I am curious to know what kinds of questions are asked of potential jury members. How is it decided who will serve on the jury and who will not? :confused:

Things I have observed from other trials.

The defense and prosecution come up with a list of questions. They use jury consultants to help with the list. I would think the Judge would have to approve the final list. Then they send out jury notices. Then the jurors have to undergo voir dire (answer the questions). I think both sides can disqualify so many (don't know the number). The jury consultants advises them on who to disqualify. JMO

[Barbara fl.]

Hey Kitty, how are ya? I wonder where the Anthony's are getting the money for the memorial? :confused:


It was said that the church donated their grounds and services....other then that there should be no other associated costs to the Anthony's.....

[msgatorslayer]

My guess would be that is the way she justifies not calling the authorities. (She had a script) I think it would have been better if she left the "kidnapper" unknown. Course that would not have helped after LE found out she was lying about the job. She could have saved herself a lot of thinking had she not tried to connect ZG. One lie begat another lie. JMO

She was bound to loose with her story. None of it made sense. No job, no need for a zanny.

Even if she had said she was in the park and Caylee just vanished, she doesn't know who took her, as soon as she walked into Universal like she owned the place, there would be a problem with her story.

That's correct.....which is why I hope the prosecution keeps their eyes open because LKB is going to try a slip in a "weak link" that she hopes to be the one to hold out....

[msgatorslayer]

well to he77 with caylee's "FAMILY".....I think CAYLEE herself would be appreciative....and it could be done by ordinary citizens for HER Memory....Of course some folks might not like it....but thats them....

How could they disallow the public to memorialize cayklee? I dont think theyd have a legal leg to stand on.

Maybe the sheriff dept will organize something. ITA with what you said.

[Regina.Lampert]

isn't the OCSD providing security?

Hiya Marsh. I heard two things last night, one was that the anthonys were responsible for their security and also that the OCSD would be there too. I don't see why the taxpayers of Florida should be resposible for any anthony security.

Defense claims Casey Anthony case mirrors TV show

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-casey-caylee-anthony-020609,0,2547975.story

Lead defense attorney Jose Baez said "it's her [Anthony] against the world."


IMO

[CelticDawn]

I can't see Lenny staying away.

I figure Geraldo and brother Craig will either be bouncers or roving reporters talking with people as they approach the church. IMO.

Do you think Cindy's brother Rick will be invited?


IMO

I think this whole thing is just plain SILLY and it makes the attorneys who actually have the gall to say that CERTAIN PEOPLE WONT BE ALLOWED look just PLAIN STUOPID ...!!!


why HAVE a public memorial in the first place...???....


Ill stop ranting now....

[Daffodil]

Thank you for the link.

Jose has been attacked personally? Did he file a police report?

Casey's defense team has stated several times they cannot get a fair trial because of the publicity. Hello! Stay off the national news programs and it may die down. IMO, they are another act in the side show.

jmo

It's funny because the people I see getting in front of the cameras the most are JB, CA, GA, LP. I have only seem LE when this story first broke. Then I remember seeing them during the time Casey was out on bail. Then we saw them again when the remains were found.

I wish there was a tally so we could count how many times each person has been in front of the cameras.

PLEEEEEEZE......comparing them to Hitler and Bin Laden????????

[Neffy]

Shepperd's conviction was overturned on appeal, but re-tried in 1966 and found not guilty.


http://www.answers.com/topic/sam-sheppard

Being found not guilty is not vindication that's what is son was trying to do vindicate him.

But you are correct about the new trial. It was overturned on the techicality getting him the new trial. My post was misleading and for that I apologize.

[KittyMom]

Hey Kitty, how are ya? I wonder where the Anthony's are getting the money for the memorial? :confused:

Hi tbrito :seeya:

I think the Church will provide the place and handle the security, parking, music, and probably the flowers. They have funds budgeted for this type of thing. I think KidFinders will provide the bouncers, bodyguards, and limo. Other than that, I don't see an expense for the A's except for clothing.

[Regina.Lampert]

I can't see Lenny staying away.

I figure Geraldo and brother Craig will either be bouncers or roving reporters talking with people as they approach the church. IMO.

Do you think Cindy's brother Rick will be invited?

Nope. I think anyone who isn't guzzling down the casey cool aide of innocence, will be denied entrance to this circus.

Gonna be real interesting to see if ANY family besides lee is there.

[Barbara fl.]

His tactics do nothing to help me have any respect for defense lawyers, and I'm sure there are plenty of good, hard-worked defense lawyers who care about seeing people rights protected and justice served.

Perry Mason, where are you when we need you????


Perry Mason only takes cases where he believes his clients are innocent...I doubt that he would touch this case.....It's a game to most defense attornies...they play a strategy game...and right now LKB is more concerned about watching the prosecution and seeing how they answer to all their requests...she is panning them out....she is watching carefully to see what she is up against....and then she will work it from there....she might be thinking that because it's Florida, that the prosecution might be from the back woods.....she just might be in for a shock....JMOO

Wonder if the defense will fly in all the "dream team" for the funeral. They may not be able to afford the expense. I guess if they can't sell the pictures, the taxpayers will be responsible for all the costs. JMO

I do not like the Anthonys, I think they are so disrespectful to Caylee.

But, any funeral here, the police department sends cars to lead the funeral procession, or to help with controlling the confusion of parking that has flowed out of church parking lot, they also stop traffic on highway for funeral to drive by. They usually have at least one car at the funeral home. In NC it is part of their job. Having said that, it is usually 2 or 3 cars and officers unless it is a public official.

Let's face it, LKB has the morals and ethics of a vulture. If she had any, she would not have dragged Lana Clarkson thru the mud. She would not be representing a baby murderer.

Yes, people tend to get upset when a mother brutally murders her child and then throws her away like trash.

What a stupid remark, but par for the course for Baez.

I kind of like LKB honestly. She's a lawyer. She has a job to do. Baez I can't stand, but even still, he has a job to do as well. Someone has to represent the baby killers of the world, or there would be no justice.

[chrissybot]

Good morning all. Just watched that today interview and they need to stay home. Stop complaining about the media and then going to it.. then expecting not to get certain questions asked. why else are they going on to these shows? They are on repeat IMO and every so often throw in something ridiculous, like hitler comparisons and bin laden comparisons and comparing cases that can't be compared.. and no explanation for the baby's dead body being in the trunk of her mothers car.. I just don't understand why they are going on these shows.

I'm curious as to who here will be watching this memorial. I've only seen a few people who haven't been complaining about it.. few LOL so I'm guessing nobody plans on watching?

Hey neighbor. I will be watching.

[Motomom]

Hey neighbor. I will be watching.

Brrrrr..cold in these parts eh... I will be watching too. I understand why they are having a public memorial and I understand why they are showing it on tv(or weblink). I guess the problem is simply that people think they are making money off of it. I'm not sure I believe that, not yet anyway.

[Regina.Lampert]

I know you're right NC, and I do understand the need, I just don't like it. Last evening on NG they were estimating the amount of money that this murderer, casey anthony has cost the State of Florida and its taxpayers. I wish there was a way for the State to recoup some of this taxpayer money when she is convicted. Especially if she has made blood money off of the murder of her daughter.

I agree. The cost would have been minimal if only Casey had talked.

[cherish]

I have to watch the memorial service just to see if Cindy has a eulogy to share with us. I wonder if it will be anything like her myspace page.

Maybe in her absence someone will read a passage from Casey's page too.

(Sorry, my bad, I must of got up on the wrong side of the today show. I'll go back to bed now and try again later.)

[Daffodil]

Let's face it, LKB has the morals and ethics of a vulture. If she had any, she would not have dragged Lana Clarkson thru the mud. She would not be representing a baby murderer.

How about when Meredith asked about searching the crime scene? LKB said something like Well you don't work at night. Meaning that they searched the area at night so the media woudn't know. Like they were playing hide and seek.

Sorry not so clear with this but hope you get it.

[SavannahStar]

Savannah and Puffdragon---The board last night was discussing the bracelet that was hidden in her clothes that were brought for her to wear into court last hearing. Then someone said well maybe they would sell them at memorial as they thought the Anthonys had order lots. I think that is where it started. ----and of course has continued into another day. I have seen no links. I think this can be put into the unsubstantiated rumor column. (but I can believe they will do it)

That's not how I remember it at all. We weren't discussing the bracelet hidden in her clothes. I think the poster out of the clear blue sky posted, "is it true the Anthonys will be selling bracelets at the memorial?" (paraphrased but I think I have it right) I don't think there was anything prior to her post about the bracelet smuggled in.

I could be wrong, but I was on the board most all of last evening and that is my recollection.

[SavannahStar]

If you want to wait until after the circus to discuss it, be my guest SS. I am discussing it now.

Discussion is fine and dandy, but we really don't KNOW what they will do or won't do. I'm anxious to find out, though. Wish I didn't have to work next Tuesday, I'm sure the board will be jumping. :laugh:

You are wrong and to clear it up you can always go back to read that posters additional posts.

[i_pickle]

I think it's disingenuous, to say the least, for NG to be going on and on about the A's selling pictures to the media. Not that I disagree with what she's saying, I actually agree that it's despicable for the A's to be profiting from the child's death.

What I find hypocritical about NG's whining is that her show is FULL of pictures of Caylee. Where did she get them and how much did her show pay for them?

Wow...
Well I suppose it is difficult to understand why the general public won't just swallow Casey Anthony's lies...unlike her own mother and father have for years?
I am reminded of Mark Geragos in the SP trial..he made statements like 'He's stone cold innocent...' But even with that Geragos had at least a couple of minor 'distractions'..
Jose Baez has none of those even for 'consideration'...there is no one else, all roads point to Casey Anthony murdering her own daughter.
Yep...'It's {her} against the world...' Yep...nothing about the baby Caylee..Casey's the victim, and after her it's Cindy who can't eat, loses weight...another 'victim'..and George has a melt down...
Don't bother thinking about the real vitim here..poor Casey, no one to comfort her...
Victims all of them..including the attorney who is being abused by the public because he's Hispanic..good freaking grief...

Just my opinion of course...

[SavannahStar]

I guess it makes me wonder..

In the long haul, who will be 'remembered' the most?

Casey Marie Anthony

Cindy Marie Anthony

Caylee Marie Anthony
or
The Anthony Family?

It is going to be a while until the trial, but I wonder who has the most recognized name right now? And will it change as time goes by?

I have no doubt at all it will be (and is) Caylee Anthony.

[Barbara fl.]

I cant figure why there will be no cellulars or cameras allowed....it is going to be televised so no one will be able to try and make any money off of pictures being taken.....

How are any women going to show, without purses, no cellulars....etc...not too many people these days go anywhere without their phones.....where are they going to leave them? where are they going to leave their purses? I hope not in the cars, in Orlando they wont find them when they get back.....I'm surprised they aren't going to give strip searches....

Nothing like this happened at Lacy and Conners memorial....there were no pictures of Scott around....Amber Frye and the Petersons were kindly asked not to attend and they honored that request....The service went beautiful.....but the way this is starting off, it's looking like it will be a disaster.....

People just want to say goodby to Caylee...they just want to have a little closure to this whole ordeal.....people all over were touched by this case and feel that they are a part of Caylee....Why don't they just have the memorial and stop all this other madness....JMOO

I couldn't agree with you more......can't stand the *****.

[PuffDragon]

I'm "complaining" because according to what's been reported, the memorial sounds like an armed camp and I think that's disgusting. I'm too far away to go, but I will watch it, just like I watch other things concerning this case.

I'm not complaining, just expressing an opinion that it's tacky to make such a public show over the memory of a dead child. I'm not going to watch because there's nothing there that I care about and because I hate circuses.

[SavannahStar]

Hiya Marsh. I heard two things last night, one was that the anthonys were responsible for their security and also that the OCSD would be there too. I don't see why the taxpayers of Florida should be resposible for any anthony security.

Hi Chrissy I'm just doing some reading here, but welcome

[Neffy]

Wonder if they actually realize that The Fugitive was fiction and that's why they think Casey's case mirrors that show?

They only recounted the part of the Sheppard trial that they WANTED to apply.

When his son Reese tried to vindicate his father and sue the state for false imprisonment the case was relooked at again (after his aquittal) and although it wasn't technically a trial it was again argued that the evidence showed Sam Sheppard as the actual murderer. He could not be re-incarcerated due to these findings but he was NOT vindicated and Reese lost his case of wrongful inprisonment.

[SavannahStar]

I kind of like LKB honestly. She's a lawyer. She has a job to do. Baez I can't stand, but even still, he has a job to do as well. Someone has to represent the baby killers of the world, or there would be no justice.

So true.......

Your opinion sounds about right to me.....

[ishkabibble]

I think the same. It will probably be hard for her to try to work up the proper show of emotion, especially now that she's probably gotten lazy and out of practice. A discreet tip of the finger to the eye, that's how she reacts to strong emotion. Oh no....wait, she'll probably get some coaching by then: "Kleenex, Casey, remember to pull out the Kleenex!"

I have a feeling she won't even watch it, she knows jail officials will be observing her reaction and that will be her excuse not to watch. She'll say she isn't going to give them anything to use against her, but I don't think she wants to see it.

[i_pickle]

I'm not complaining, just expressing an opinion that it's tacky to make such a public show over the memory of a dead child. I'm not going to watch because there's nothing there that I care about and because I hate circuses.And you have every right to that opinion PuffDragon. :smile:

I'll be watching for the reason I mentioned.

I put the word in quotes because that's how it was characterized in the post I responded to. I may have come up with another word, but "complaining" doesn't bother me one way or another.

[Albini]

Meredith asks who is Casey's one arm man?

LKB -you'll find out at the trial.

Jose - We have a defense in which we believe Casey Anthony is innocent.
IMO

We also have the Fountian of Youth and the Holy Grail...oh yes, you know that space ship that crashed at Roswell..yep we got it.

Then why havent you got Casey out of jail yet?

Ummm, Next question please.

[WillowInFlight]

Let's face it, LKB has the morals and ethics of a vulture. If she had any, she would not have dragged Lana Clarkson thru the mud. She would not be representing a baby murderer.

That just made me sick, and the funny part is LKB looks exactly like she is. The woman has absolutely no class.

[marshmallow]

I'm a taxpayer in FL and I'm not complaining. I would hate to see either of the Anthonys get hurt at the memorial.

as would most of us. I know I don't wish harm on them but I also don't feel that the taxpayers of any state should have to pay for policing a private spectical.

[Albini]

Caylee will not be mentioned as much as Casey and as always will come in last. I think this is in poor taste, but no less than what I would expect from Cindy. I really wish everyone would stay home.

++respectfully snipped+++++

I agree.They will turn it into Look how much Casey loved Caylee, how could she murder her. :cursing:

[WillowInFlight]

I'm a taxpayer in FL and I'm not complaining. I would hate to see either of the Anthonys get hurt at the memorial.

ITA, but I honestly think that this family needs to start doing things in private, namely putting to rest their granddaughter. FGS George tried to kill himself 2 weeks ago (:rolleyes:) because of all the stress.

[i_pickle]

I'm amazed that LKB and Baez keep saying she's innocent. Not guilty is one thing, but it's unusual for atty's to use the term innocent so freely and often, imo.

[PuffDragon]

Perry Mason only takes cases where he believes his clients are innocent...I doubt that he would touch this case.....It's a game to most defense attornies...they play a strategy game...and right now LKB is more concerned about watching the prosecution and seeing how they answer to all their requests...she is panning them out....she is watching carefully to see what she is up against....and then she will work it from there....she might be thinking that because it's Florida, that the prosecution might be from the back woods.....she just might be in for a shock....JMOO

Actually, that's not quite accurate. Perry Mason accepted cases where the accused seemed to be unquestionably guilty. He would immediately spot a flaw in the prosecution's presumably airtight case and then work to expose it. Of course, it was a much simpler world back then. Sigh.
My cry, however, was simply for an ethical defense lawyer like Perry Mason who would defend his client without playing games and wanted to expose the real perpetrator because he cared about justice being served.

[KittyMom]

The other folks in jail will be able to see the news casts leading up to the memorial and whatever is on of the memorial itself. Even though Casey is not in with the others, she'll still get yelled at by them. I can't image it will be pleasant.
