It's our girl Kathi Belich with a short report on the latest & greatest. Listen carefully to what she says at about 1:58 on the clock.

Hysterical!! :lol: :lol:


Ok that just made my night!!

:thumbsup:

I need more Kathi Belich!!

[kakax]

WOW! Thanks for the link Pru..I had no Idea they talked to Rick but i did wonder about it. I thought from the exchange of e-mails back and forth with Cindy he would be a good person for them to talk to.

Cindy must be livid..:w00t:

There won't be any family reunions with Rick any time soon, I don't believe LOL!

At least he wasn't afraid to tell it like it was.

Rick said his brother Dan doesn't believe "anything that comes out of that house." Seems he didn't particularly mean just Casey.

Big Question In Anthony Case: How Did Caylee Die?
Some Wonder If Prosecutors Can Prove Murder
http://www.wesh.com/news/20911873/detail.html

"It suggests a certain level of commitment or premeditation," said attorney Tom Luka, who at one time represented Anthony's brother, Lee. He also has prosecuted about 50 fifty homicide cases.

At least he wasn't afraid to tell it like it was.

I tend to be wary of family dynamics, but in this case, regardless of who Rick is and what his own problems were/are in his own family, they are no match to the insanity going on in the House of Anthony. he was aware of the thefts that Casey engaged in with her parents, as well as his mother.

he knew that Casey was not stable. he came right out and said Caylee was dead. and I do believe he said it to (a) wake Cindy up from her fantasy that the possibility exists and (b) he really believed that Casey was responsible for her death because she never reported her missing....accident or on purpose, CASEY KNEW.

she was a liar....of monumental proportions......she didnt care that she tapped into assisted living financial arrangements that could have caused a mountain of grief for gm....well, it did temporarily....

and the anguish knowing that Casey once again stole from her.....she didnt care.

these are things that the peripheral family spoke up about, despite Cindy's neverending efforts to portray Casey as an upstanding mother of the year.....

an upstanding mother of the year would be updating contact information for ANY caregiver she engaged to care for the most precious of all....a little child. take precautions. there werent any, because there wasnt a caregiver other than Cindy. and I dont count casey, based on her cell phone charges....

hardly enough time to give a cracker to Caylee...let alone interact with her and read to her.....I suspect the only interaction was at bedtime with Cindy and on weekends with Cindy.....

up until, of course, her sleepovers at apts......then she got NOTHING.

Cindy is remiss for not being a second set of eyes....she had reason NOT to trust her....IMO, it was not just her thieving. IMO she did witness threats about Caylee...that is why she wants to stay in la la land and rewrite 'the history of Casey's mothering skills'.

Was this the atty that just left the case? Interesting when these attys speak after the fact. Just another one on the Anthony's hate list.

[Imperfect4]

Catching up...

Kat...I couldn't agree with you more!!!

I have heard several people say Caylee is better off then to grow up in that family and I just get incensed...there are many children who grow up in horrible or dysfunctional circumstances and have wonderful fulfilling productive lives.

It think it's the prospect of sentencing that precious child to 18 years inside that horrible family that causes people to feel she's better off where she is now. It's frightening for some of us to contemplate how much worse it would've gotten for Caylee over the years, with the triple threat of Casey, Cindy AND George. At least psycho Casey only had C&G to contend with as a child. Caylee would've had the 3 of them. It really does make my blood run cold to think about it.

Outstanding post, Pru. I hope the SA's office can wrap this up as well as you can.

Maybe Rick can be the one to stand up for Caylee during the penalty phase. He can speak to how his father's eyes lit up when he saw Caylee and how it hurt his mother and father what Casey did to them (asumming that the stealing from them can come in as evidence)

Sounds like there were problems in the Pleasea household, but no one else killed their child or covered up for their child who murdered their granddaughter.

I do wonder how that penalty phase will go. Who will speak for her?

[Dells]

during the jailhouse visit with parents, Casey called Tara: 'Mark's ex-wife, Psycho Tara'...however, Psycho Tara seemed to have been in occasional contact with Casey, as Casey clearly explains her last contact, and blah blah...and NO Caylee never spoke on the phone...

what in the world is THAT relationship all about? Casey and Tara?

psycho and psycho?....Casey kept in touch...as the PSYCHO world turns....

LOL, pru!:laugh: I remember Casey making that statement on the jailhouse visit to her parents. Casey in the one sitting in jail after not reporting her daughter missing for 31 days. She lied to LE about virtually everything they questioned her about in terms of trying to find her daughter. She led LE on wild goose chases showing them places of fake employment and where her fake nanny and her fake nanny's mom lived, and yet she has the gall to call someone else a psycho?!?!:blink:

Based on what I understood from Rick, there was 4 children in the family. Gary, Dan, Rick and...Cindy.
I'm wondering if Cindy was the last born in the family. Rick is her older brother and Cindy was the only girl in the family. Cindy had to get her mother skills from somewhere.

I'm not bad mouthing Shirley by no means but I'm wondering if Cindy was the center of their attention when she was growing up cause Casey was the center of the family in the Anthony house. She could do NO wrong. When she did, Cindy looked the other way and did absolutely nothing.

I can not imagine me taking out of my 401K plan. $56,000 Casey managed to steal off Cindy's C/C. Cindy is not right in the head, either.
The whole family is clinically nuts. George did the same thing to Cindy. Better yet, he forged her name and had C/C she didn't even know about.

Caylee got lost in the mix and had to pay for all of this.
Caylee paid for this disfunctional family. All Caylee wanted was to be loved and cared for. All Caylee wanted was a loving mom and a normal life.:sad:

great post, sums it up perfectly.

the thieving within the family: Cindy never mentioned ONE WORD about thefts...but GA did, but only because he wanted something from LE, and maybe for one brief moment, he really wanted to be told the truth. or what LE thought but he didnt hear that from them. his brief moments of candor regarding Casey backfired......and of course he never truly 'gave himself up' entirely regarding his own misdeeds within the household.

bottom line: none of these family members ever told the entire truth regarding this that or anything else that occurred in that house. all HALF-TRUTHS or OUTRIGHT LIES.

difficult task they presented to LE: they had to then shift focus to them: rule them out over and over again....waste of resources.....

IMO The right thing for G and C to do now is to not show up at any of Caseys hearings. To quit giving her the opinion that everything she did is ok with them. Comes a time in every parents life when you have to have tuff love. Of course that time was years ago. But they could still make an impact by turning their backs.

I think the poster was referring to my comment earlier about my opinion -- Caylee is in a better place and way better off to be where she is.

Growing up within the Anthony compound would have never changed for that child, and she would have been taught and trained to be like all of them-- not something anyone in that household can escape from in order to break the cycle. Feeding frenzy behavior.

Caylee had no childhood and was in the way-- anything material wise is what she got in order to keep her out of the way. No friends- no videos or photos with any children- no videos or photos of visiting Disneyland-- playing with other children at the park-- trips to the zoo-- family and friends with her in photos-- no preschool-- nothing!!
Strapped in a car seat with Mama Dolly and staring at Casey's head and her friends, while being told to hush while her Mother text/chatted on the phone. Caylee probably was fed through drive through windows and made to eat in her car seat. After the piles of trash in Casey's car I have no doubt Caylee was treated like crap.

Casey would never let Cindy have her and Cindy is pretty unfit herself to be raising a toddler-- she has no scruples and pretty darn heartless herself.



eta: I also firmly believe Caylee did not eat properly - get proper exercise - proper health care- and we know for a fact she was never around children to even work on social skills. I don't remember but one or two photos with Grandma and Great Grandma/Grandpa with Caylee.
Seems none of the family ever wanted to go around them. Gee wonder why..!!

LMAO

Anthony's = Waste-- Huge Waste......!!

They have wasted their entire lives on living lies and wasting every ounce of resources they ever worked for. Over spending with a major OCD problem with Caylee's toys alone! No moderation in that family at all. Credit card debt, lost their previous home years before a mortgage crisis and had relationship problems with everyone in the family.
Waste-- they are nothing but a waste. Too bad they didn't all split up and get major help to stop this viscious cycle.

They have to show up!!
They are afraid... very very afraid of what the spiteful little witch will do to them.!! They have to be supportive of her or there will be he$$ to pay. Remember-- don't worry she didn't say anything..???
Hiding and lying ... this a big game to all of them just like the game they have played all of their lives.



Heck -- they don't even know it right now, but Casey and the dream team are probably already setting them up for the road kill in the court room. Baez keeps cozy with them and on their good side for court room support and media support about his 'girl'. They are nuts if they believe Casey and the defense arent' going after them to attempt to take Casey's fall. LOL

[*Serenity*]

I bet Casey was stealing from her mother long before Caylee was born if we knew the truth. The only difference is the amount she stole from her. This time around Casey had to keep up with her new found friends. She had to live the life style they did because she had them believing she was a super mom, a super career woman, and a super student.
I can't get over $56,000 in less than 3 years. That's an average of close to $20,000 a year. Just about as much as she was probably making at the infamous Universal studios.
Outrageous. Cindy deserves everything that was taken because Cindy kept feeding into Casey's sickness.


LMAO well... Cindy sure is showing Casey what her new life is like now with all the cameo's she did, the $$$ she is making, not having to work, lost weight and wears nice clothes, takes all kinds of trips, and sports a good tan. LOL that probably eats Casey alive and certainly pizzes her more than the fact that she killed her own child. She went whacky with the fact that Cindy had someone over for chili at HER HOUSE... it is comforting to me know Casey is locked up in a hell hole and caged like an animal. She gets better treatment in jail than what she gave to her own daughter.

I can't wait until she is hauled off in the van like SPeterson to prison where her new hell will begin.

[*Serenity*]

As we all know, prison is a lot different than county jail. Wait til she gets a taste of Prison. County jail is a hotel compared to where she will be going for the rest of her life.:laugh:

I'm still hoping she gets a trip to prison on the check fraud charges.
LOL
Baez and the dream team having to make the trips to prison to defend her case. Ah ha... pro bono defense would mean more expenses for them to make the trips. LOL

AL doesn't seem to mind all those airline tickets to make it to the court room, so maybe the addtional days for her to travel to the prison might cut into her teaching schedule.

I'm tired -- big day tomorrow with back to back appointment. I shall bump into you again soon, I hope.

[AnniePie]

They were just caught in the corner of the video on Issues w/ Jane V tonight but not ONE WORD about them. About time! I only noticed them because I was looking.

The focus was on Jennifer Kesse with her father speaking.

Everyone there trying to find their missing loved ones and Jane discussed the perp with Mr. Kesse.

Anthony's there with that iron curtain around the perp. How they can do it is beyond me.

Oh I so agree!! If only this would keep up and the media would stop giving them attention.

(I am back from a weekend away and I'm trying to catch up. This is such good news to me!)

[anon-o-miss]

Well that is something, I knew if I ever killed anyone my animals would get me busted. I wonder if there was any animal hair stuck to that duct tape? The water was what really caused a lot of damage to Caylee. Well thank you that was interesting to read an actual case, instead of gossip.
If you would actually read the stuff posted on the links page here and on the closed Caylee thread you would see a lot of the conversation taking place is based on evidence or witness statements.... Yes sometimes it gets mixed up or convoluted but it's from fact just the same... Much unlike your drug ring theory. Ahhh yes but I remember you've moved on. I guess you just had a 24 hour swine flu eh?:rolleyes: I won't bother to point out that just a few posts ago you, the expert extraordinaire, said animal hairs prove nothing...But I digress. I love the article pointing out what wasn't said in all the reports that put a lot in perspective for me, I've always felt there were huge gaps in the info that we've been privvy to. Now that it is somewhat confirmed for me I feel much easier going to sleep knowing Casey will indeed get her comeuppance from a jury of her *ahem* peers... Something that made me laugh... She'll think she's superior to them all when in reality each and everyone of those folks will have exceeded her in every aspect of life. Even the mom with 6 kids on welfare that is voir dired will have a leg up... She knows where her kids are and took the time to fill out the paperwork so she could have her own place. :thumbup:

[anon-o-miss]

Oh Oh I also forgot one...If CAYLEES fingerprints are on the duct tape!!! yes thats what I think, hence the need for the rest of the A's prints.

Excellent point Peter. I don't recall any poster suggesting that. Although they might have and I missed it or it's on an eradicated thread. That is a great point if they found Caylees prints on the duct tape that would be proof positive she wasn't dead when it was wrapped around her face.

[happygert]

The problem with that is Caylee's little body was reduced to bones no skin to do fingerprint's..

[anon-o-miss]

I've seen the pictures, her friends say she didn't drink much but she was passed out, IMO she was doing something other than just drinking.
You can pass out from drinking:rolleyes: I learned that in the dare program 15+ years ago... For someone that is an expert on everything you seem to miss a whole lot of facts.

[anon-o-miss]

The problem with that is Caylee's little body was reduced to bones no skin to do fingerprint's..
Yes but it's possible they could have gotten Caylee's prints off of her toys or things she frequently touched (her doll she would go no where without until June 15/16 comes to mind.)

[happygert]

Hope we get some news about that soon...Dang hope he dont take too much longer..

[Bottrell]

I was watching msnbc tonight and apparently with the lies that DCasey told on the witness stand it could be good reason to think that someone told him where Caylee's body was left.
This could have come from the defense attorney or Cindy.
Baez is less than honest about his client being innocent. I think it's quite believable that Baez may know she killed Caylee and it came from Casey or Cindy.
I thought the attorney for the client was not suppose to defend their client if they tell them they did the crime.:shrug:
Bolding by me, an attorney can defend any client they just cannot put them up on the stand if they know that the client is going to commit perjury on the stand.

Thanks for the links! I think this report highlights many are not following this case as closely as we do. No surprise there. Even with the heavy media coverage, she will be able to get a fair trial in Orange County IMO.

When are we expecting the hearing on COV? Anyone know offhand?

[Bala]

I keep forgetting about that check fraud case. I wish they would get the show on the road.
That's right! If Casey is convicted,(which she will be) they will cart her off to prison for that offense and time given, That's a felony. What do you think. At least 3 to 5 on that alone.
Will have to ask Katprint about that.:glare:

You are correct. Baez won't like traveling that far to see his "girl."
And..knowing Casey the princess, she will be demanding Baez to see her a lot more after she gets a taste of prison.

I already ask Katprint. If Casey is convict on the fraud charges she will probably not be moved because the murder trial and it's easier access for the lawyers to her in jail.

[sydney]

good morning everyone! just a quickie.

first of all, i agree that everyone is not following this case as closely as some of us. second of all, the question that would be raised in my mind is, if kc didn't do it, who else could have?

oh sure, kc could say "it was an accident. i was scared, so i duct-taped her face, put a heart sticker over her mouth to show how sorry i was that it was an accident, triple bagged her to show my respect for her, and dumped her in the woods because i'm sure she wouldn't want to be underground. but but but, i'm young, i'm cute, i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, my mother made me have caylee and keep her, so whose fault is it really, anyway? not mine." the accident story should have been told long, long ago for it to have any credibility in my book. now it just appears as an afterthought - another way to get her off since her invisi-nanny defense is clearly moronic.

don't forget, cindy also said that kc was the kind of person who would "call 911, even if it was an accident." when i read that, i thought WTH?

yah. that's gonna fly with a jury, all right.

I agree with you Syd. Accident theory doesn't fly with most that have followed this case closely. I just know that there are some people in this world that can't pass judgement on ANYONE, regardless of what they have done or the evidence against them.

I sat on a murder trial a few years ago (i was just an alternate) but one of the questions to us before we were seated was...
Do you have any religious beliefs or any other feelings that may hold you back from finding someone guilty of a crime?

No one answered yes, but there are those people out there that even if they saw it on video, they would think SODDI.

hey, ka! they didn't ask if the religious beliefs would preclude you from sentencing that person to death? i know of no religion (i have been known to be wrong, though) that doesn't allow anyone to find someone else guilty of a crime. how curious.

how gruesome to be called for that kind of duty. i would be a horrible juror. not because i couldn't keep an open mind, just because i have a hard time sitting still for longer than an hour at a time. :smile:

They weren't seeking the death penalty in this case. What was the worst was being an alternate and knowing I wouldn't be deliberating in this case. Having to sit there and listen just as closely as everyone else, but not being in on the decision at the end really stunk. Only took them an hour to come to the decision though.

They weren't seeking the death penalty in this case. What was the worst was being an alternate and knowing I wouldn't be deliberating in this case. Having to sit there and listen just as closely as everyone else, but not being in on the decision at the end really stunk. Only took them an hour to come to the decision though. Things go much quicker when it isn't high profile or on tv.

how long was the trial? and you are so right, things go MUCH quicker when it isn't high profile or on tv.

Good morning everyone,

I hope that everyone slept well last night. I looked up pajamas for OCJ I could not find anything about them.
I did find that a jail somewhere issued blue pj's for their inmates. I wonder if Casey gets to sleep in the little night clothes she purchased at Target with Amy's money. I guess not. Bet they are folded up nice and neat in the evidense room awaiting trial just like Casey.

From a Monday morning, picking the jury at 9 am, straight into opening statements at about 11 to Wednesday with the verdict around 3. (2 1/2 days) It was a drive by shooting that did get some press coverage (I hadn't seen it, I mostlly watch national news) I actually went to school with one of the assistant DA's but that didn't get me disqualified. I was thinking since I was the last one picked, the defense had lost all of its strikes LOL!

Was my first time ever called for jury duty and I was picked. I was shocked.

I hadn't actually thought of pajamas in jail. That's interesting. So inmates sleep in the clothes they wear everyday? Ewww.

I was actually excited to be called for jury duty. But once I knew that I wouldn't be on the jury but would be an alternate, I thought this is just my luck.

At the time, my children were a few years younger (my son was in preschool). My mom and dad live in town, so my mom was able to watch my son everyday. I did think of what a burden it would be if you were a stay at home mom and were called for one of these long trials. Even more so if you had a job you were missing.

My mom loves her grandchildren, but no way she would watch them for 5 months while I sat on a jury.

Well not necessarliy (sp) I think the jails do issue pj's just could not find what OCJ does issue.
But, if CasE has to sleep in her clothes ...hate it!...not
I just think about the things I do during my day=week and watch all these criminals on TV and on the net and just wonder (sometimes out loud, Real Loud at times) was what you did worth what and how you are living now.
CasE being young and I have children a little older than her and they are just having a good time with their work, friends etc.
I just wonder. I know CasE is not sorry for what she did to Caylee just that she got caught. With that being said, I wonder if she thinks ..
I should not have done that! I could have done something else.. like walk away and I still would have my life.
Just wondering.
