Pets, Lies and Duct Tape

In his opening statement, Jose Baez guaranteed that the jury would come to believe that George Anthony had sexually molested Casey when she was young, that he found Caylee’s body floating in the backyard pool, and he alone applied duct tape to her face. Somehow, someway, he would explain how meter reader Roy Kronk disposed of the child’’s body so he could later “discover” it and collect a reward. But as the defense wrapped up its case Thursday it was clear that Baez had failed to deliver the goods. His strategy created a lot of smoke but yielded little substance.

Beth Karas - A Class Act

Let me tell you something… This was a dream come true.

A Fool's Errand

Casey seems to have turned into a hostile client. Two psychologists and a psychiatrist told the court she is as competent to stand trial today as she was when Judge Strickland ordered a mental evaluation three years ago.

All Fired Up

What really transpired behind closed doors, in chambers, on Saturday? It could be some sort of trap Mason has set for the judge – a legal technicality he hopes will derail the trial, but I don’t think so. There’s discord in this defense team. They are in disarray, and I sense that they are turning on each other.

Read my opinion and leave yours. There’s plenty of room to drive a Mack Truck through…

The Truth About Cindy's Testimony

What Cindy said on the stand Thursday was shocking, but the fact is, she did tell the prosecution almost the same thing back in July of 2009 during her deposition.  Technically, she didn’t lie the other day, unless she lied about it to begin with.

Whatever you think, it will be up to the jury to decide, but here’s what she said…

A Mixed Bag

Tuesday was a day that started with talking trash. It moved to other areas, as well. Arpad Vass made an encore appearance, followed by an FBI forensic chemist. It ended with a K-9 deputy.

Needless to say, it was a long day, and I wrote about it on Orlando Magazine.

Sorry the picture is a little out of focus.
