</p>

<p>It was…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes… The next day. Self destruction deluxe… You can’t predict how one will behave… I don’t even remember the funeral. Or that week really…</p>

<p>So do I think Casey is a good person? No, but I can see that everything may not be what it just looks like. Just look at the pattern. Everyone says she was a devoted mom. She clearly had no criminal record and then boom an epic spiral of self destructive behavior that based on friends and family testimony is not her the norm…</p>

<p>Just something to think about it.</p>

<p>If she did it then God help her. If she didn’t but is responsible for it nothing the court can do to her will be worse than what she is going through. If she is innocent then God help us for being so harsh. And if she is a sociopath then nothing the courts do will matter to her anyways…</p>

<p>Hmmm… I think that’s enough of this topic for me. Good luck jsanche32. It’s tough in here.</p>

1222

<p>slacker-- so sorry, and yes, believe it or not, what the grief specialist was trying to say at the trial is that this kind of behavior is actually not all that uncommon a response to horrible, life altering disasters. I’m glad you’ve gotten it back together.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>She’s 25 now, I believe, and she has been in prison for a few years. She was younger then.</p>

<p>And, just to set the record straight, I’m a mother of two daughters, one not much younger than Casey was when this happened. I have no idea HOW she would react to something like this. I don’t believe it would be graceful. And she’s a world class great kid, too.</p>

1223

<p>hahha yeah it really is a tough crowd :)</p>

1224

<p>from mom2ck…"and I wonder how her prior felonies will play into this. Her “time served” may only cover those felonies…she pled guilty to 13 Felonies last year. </p>

<p>Judge Stan Strickland found Casey guilty of six counts including check fraud and withheld adjudication on seven others. </p>

<p>In sentencing, Strickland credited Casey with the 412 days she’s already served, ordered her to pay court and investigative fees and assigned her to one year probation(Judge Strickland said he may modify depending on what happens with her other legal problems.)</p>

<p>So, does this mean that Strickland can add time now for those 7 other felonies??? Hope so!!! "</p>

<p>i had never heard that before… i heard about the 4000 she took from her mother…wasnt that what a huge fight was about just before the 16th?? did the jury ever get to hear about that…or the previous thefts? your comment said she pled guilty last year? while in jail for caylee?</p>

1225

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Yes!!! That trial was while she was in jail. Baez didn’t want it to happen before the murder trial because then she’d have “priors” if she was convicted. But, she was tried and has those felonies.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.wdbo.com/news/news/casey_anthony_pleads_guilty_to/nYcF/[/url]”>http://www.wdbo.com/news/news/casey_anthony_pleads_guilty_to/nYcF/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>These felonies were all related to her stealing money/checks/identity theft from her friend Amy Huizenga (who testified during the murder trial…she’s the one who said that Casey said her mom was crazy)</p>

<p>Also…Casey was served with a subpoena on Tuesday nite… :)</p>

<p>Anthony was served a subpoena in jail Tuesday night to give a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez, CNN reported. Anthony had told police that Caylee had been taken by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. The woman, who sued in 2008, said she had never met the Anthonys. Police said she had nothing to do with the case.</p>

1226

<p>^Someone looking for her 15 minutes of fame?</p>

1227

<p>so that other judge could still add those 7 felonies now…and now that she was found guilty of lying to police…that would be a violation of the probation that judge sentenced her to… this could get complicated…she may get out thursday and get put right back in… what potential sentence could she get on those 13 felonies if she violates probation.</p>

1228

<p>I gave the pool scenario some further thought. From a scientific standpoint, we have:</p>

<p>Chloroform: CHCl3 (Molecular weight is 119.38g/mol) </p>

<p>From a molecular standpoint, it is 90% chlorine.</p>

<p>Decomposition of chloroform in air (This looks at what happens if it was used on Caylee and she was dumped in the trunk right away)</p>

<p>CHCl3(g) + Oxygen (O2) → You get Chlorides as a result.(They tested for this)</p>

<p>Decomposition of Chlorine from a pool in air (This scenario from a child that had drowned and was put in the trunk right away)</p>

<p>Cl (chlorine) + O2 (Oxygen) = Chlorides again</p>

<p>I’d have to say that both scenarios are plausible from that which gives reasonable doubt.</p>

1229

<p>A juror has spoken:

</p>

1230

<p>Please, please, Casey Anthony, slip back into that black hole that you crawled out of. I am sick to death of the media coverage of this case; the media is determined to make this woman a celebrity. I, for one, will not be reading or watching anything that woman will shop around, after she is granted her freedom. I find the notion that she and any of the jurors on this case can make any money off this terrible mess despicable . Shame on all of them !</p>

1231

<p>*I, for one, will not be reading or watching anything that woman will shop around, *</p>

<p>I hope that people will turn off their TVs when she’s on a show being interviewed.</p>

<p>I keep wondering…where is she going to go? Will she communicate with her parents?</p>

1232

<p>And will Linda Kenney Baden join Casey down that black hole…if that woman thought that this case was such a slam dunk, then why did she leave the defense team? She is so annoying. And while I am venting… Why does everyone on HLN yell? Honestly, between Jane Velez Mitchell and Nancy Grace and some other lawyer named Sue, I want to put ear plugs in my ears. instead, I change the station.</p>

1233

<p>

</p>

<p>I am always bothered when criminal charges are based in great part about how someone behaves after the death of a loved one. That part of the Darlie Routier case has always bothered me:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>People have all different ways of coping with loss. Some seem bizarre to most of us; some idiotic; some insensitve. But it’s scary when behaving the “wrong” way is used as evidence in a criminal trial.</p>

1234

<p>Wow, that is an incredibly shocking example.</p>

1235

<p>“I did not say she was innocent,” said Ford, who had previously only been identified as juror number 3. “I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be.”</p>

<p>I had a feeling the jurors must not have understood the instructions. The jurors were not charged with determining punishment. Punishment should not even have been a part of their deliberations or have any impact whatsoever on their decision. </p>

<p>I’ve a feeling there are other things they didn’t understand.</p>

1236

<p>Slacker, I very sorry for your lose. </p>

<p>Imo, I think the difference between you and Casey is that for Casey that kind of behavior was her normal.</p>

1237

<p>It isn’t just that Casey was partying it up after her child died. What’s different is that she told nobody the child had died and when people wondered about the child’s whereabouts, she lied and said the child was kidnapped. This is not the same as simply handling grief in a different way. She lied and misled others.</p>

1238

<p>i know one of the police officers who was first on the scene in the Menendez murders. The boys had shot their parents to death to inherit their millions.</p>

<p>The home was a bloody mess because the kind of guns they used really causes a lot of blood spray in the home.</p>

<p>The boys claimed to have come home and found them like this. </p>

<p>This PO said that he knew that they were guilty when they had them outside for questioning and the boys asked if they could go back into the house to get their stuff. Their dead parents were still in there with all the blood everywhere. Innocent relatives would be tooooo horrified to go back in there. If anything, they would have asked a PO to go in to retrieve whatever.</p>

1239

<p>It’s strange you brought up the menendez murders.</p>

<p>More than Oj, that’s what this has brought up for me, for some reason.</p>

<p>Okay: so now that we have established that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict, let me just say that that family would be insane to let her back in their house.</p>

<p>She’s one scary young woman, imho.</p>

<p>31 days without a word? Even to her parents?</p>

<p>This seemed so inconcievable to me, it’s why I thought the Dad was “in on it.” This seemed beyond comprehension to me.</p>

1240

<p>Yeah it would have been one thing had the child died and Casey threw herself into a gauntlet of drunken parties to take her mind off it or something. That would make sense. But not <em>telling</em> anyone about it and lying about it after the fact is just… suspicious beyond words and totally not a normal grief pattern.</p>

<p>What I want to know is this: What did she expect? Did she think nobody was ever going to ask about her child being absent?</p>
