When Cheney Mason joined Casey Anthony’s defense team in March of 2008, he proclaimed that the day would come when “we will walk out of here with Casey in arm.” He was that confident she would be acquitted. He was right.

Sitting in court yesterday, I found it ironic and so apropos that the fate of Casey Anthony was delivered into the hands of a jury of her peers on Independence Day. For nearly three years she has been afforded the presumption of innocence while the murder case against her slowly inched through our legal system. She has had the luxury of being ensnared by a judicial system that seeks to ensure a defendant’s right to a fair trial.

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 Caylees 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.
What do you think?
Let me tell you something… This was a dream come true.
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…
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…
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.
Aphrodite Jones is a well known, award winning, true crime author. She is attending the Casey Anthony trial here in Orlando. To be honest, she is a delightful lady; sophisticated, intelligent, witty, charming, talented, and most of all, she let’s people take pictures of her with goofy looking men.
Sorry the picture is a little out of focus.
