I believe that sooner or later, maybe a couple of decades down the road, Casey Anthony will be fried; extra-crispy, if you get my meaning… TGO

Like many other popular attractions in Orlando, the Casey Anthony trial requires tickets. Hundreds of people show up each day to watch the murder case unfold. But only those who arrive well before 8 a.m. and wait in June swelter can get a pass allowing them into the soaring, chilly top-floor courtroom where Anthony is trying to avoid the death penalty.
Anthony is accused of murdering her 2-year-old, Caylee, in 2008. In December of that year, investigators found parts of the girl’s duct-taped corpse near Anthony’s parents’ home. Bugs and vegetation had colonized the remains, which had been dumped roughly six months earlier. The sheer horror at the act – and the idea that a mother committed it – catapulted the case from local live-at-5 sideshow to tabloid sensation (“Monster mom partying four days after tot died,” one recent report said) to national preoccupation. The case is being followed by millions on live-stream video feeds and constant cable-news reports. In the past few days, the Washington Post and the Miami Herald have become the latest major outlets to begin offering live streams of the case. CNN and NBC air so much coverage of the trial that the networks each decided to erect a two-story, air-conditioned structure in a lot across from the courthouse. The broadcast village around the court often grows to hundreds of media vehicles.
And yet they are relative latecomers to what is the first major murder trial of the social-media age. The first public mention of the case appeared on MySpace on July 3, 2008, when Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mother, posted a distraught message saying her daughter had stolen “lots of money” and wasn’t allowing her to see her granddaughter. (A few days later, Cindy called 911 to report a “possible missing child.”)
Today, the latest and most reliable news of the trial comes from a Twitter account, NinthCircuitFL. That’s the feed managed by the 9th Judicial Circuit Court, which has some 400 reporter-blogger followers. (As the first court in the U.S. to use DNA evidence, in a 1987 rape case, it’s accustomed to being on the cutting edge.) The various Facebook pages honoring Caylee have amassed tens of thousands of friends, and Twitter accounts like CaseyJunky and OSCaseyAnthony (managed by the Orlando Sentinel) are adding followers at a rate of hundreds per day.
And yet virtually no one doubts that Anthony was involved in her child’s death. In fact, her lawyer admits that Anthony knew how her daughter’s body would be disposed of. Few legal experts watching the proceedings expect her to get off. So why has this case become the O.J. Simpson trial of the new decade?
Casey Anthony is a tenacious liar. Her defense team isn’t disputing most of her deceptions, which began not long after Caylee went missing three years ago. When sheriff’s deputies first questioned Anthony, in July 2008, she said that because she worked at Universal Studios (a lie) she employed a nanny to care for Caylee (another lie). That nanny, she said – a woman named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez – had stolen her child. This was a fantastic lie, as no such person existed.
The case might have run its tabloid course relatively under the radar if the fraudulent story line hadn’t changed. But last month, when the murder trial against Anthony began, she and her attorney Jose Baez radically altered the script. They said Anthony had lied for so long in order to cover up a family tragedy: Caylee had accidentally drowned in her grandparents’ pool. Baez said Casey didn’t reveal the truth because she was scared of her father George Anthony – who, Baez alleged, had begun molesting Casey when she was 8.
George Anthony, 59, a tanned, white-haired former cop who shows up with his wife most days at the trial, has denied the accusation. “When I heard that today,” he said in court, “it hurt really bad.” The prosecution has chipped away at the drowning theory by showing that Casey didn’t seem upset in the days following the supposed accident. A local tattoo artist, Bobby Williams, testified that on July 2, 2008, about two weeks after Caylee was last seen alive, Anthony entered the shop where he works and requested new ink. She was specific about what she wanted: the phrase “Bella Vita” (Italian for “beautiful life”). As he tattooed Casey, Williams said, she happily chatted on the phone.
Details like that one have enraged the court of social-media opinion. The day after Williams testified, Facebook user Jennifer Heavey posted a typical message on a Caylee Anthony page called Sweet Angel: “think im gonna puke in my mouth over them trying to get an aquittal shes GAULITY GAULITY GAULITY [sic]!!! Justice for Caylee.”
Hundreds of more sober posts on various pages weigh whether Cindy Anthony is a victim of her daughter’s duplicity or a grandmother who didn’t do enough. Cindy has wept on the stand several times at the trial; each time, posts on various Anthony feeds and pages spike to hundreds per minute. After testifying on June 14, Cindy mouthed the words “I love you” to her daughter. When Casey looked away without responding, the digital fury was palpable. If it’s true that Facebook and Twitter provide forums for a rich abundance of perspectives, the Casey Anthony trial shows they can also be arenas for mass, lip-licking bloodlust.
From a legal perspective, the case against Anthony is astonishingly weak. Before it rested its case June 15, the state could present only a ragbag of circumstantial bits of evidence against her. Her fingerprints weren’t found on the body or on the duct tape over Caylee’s mouth and nose. No eyewitnesses ever saw Casey hurt Caylee, and the defense is sure to call witnesses who will testify that mother and daughter were close.
The prosecution is relying mostly on evidence found in an Anthony family Pontiac Sunfire that Casey used to drive. Casey abandoned the car about two weeks before Caylee was reported missing. When George Anthony got the car back, he said the trunk carried an overpowering stench of decomposing flesh. He testified that he had smelled dead bodies when he was a cop and that the smell is something “you never forget.” A controversial new smell test developed by crime researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory showed that the odor almost certainly came from a body, not from a bag of garbage (as Anthony’s attorney has said). The prosecution also has a single strand of hair from the trunk, but it cannot say for certain whether that hair belonged to Caylee or to another Anthony family member. Tests suggesting that the hair came from a decomposing body are not conclusive.
But even if the body was in the car, isn’t that consistent with Casey’s story, that she and her father panicked and disposed of the body after Caylee drowned in the pool? (See why most child abuse goes unreported.)
And about that tattoo: what if Bella Vita is a description not of the good life Casey believed she would have after her troublesome daughter was dead but of the “beautiful life” that had just been taken from her?
Wouldn’t Casey abandon her car after she had to use it to hide her daughter’s corpse? Wouldn’t she bury her daughter with the girl’s Winnie the Pooh blanket, all the better to comfort the little body? Wouldn’t she have to keep up appearances after the accident by going out with friends to bars? Wouldn’t she text her boyfriend, “I’m the dumbest person and the worst mother. I honestly hate myself”?
Well, maybe. You have to squint really hard to bring the defense case into focus. It could ultimately crumble because of the overreaching, virtually unprovable accusation that George molested Casey. In court, the prosecution played hours of tapes from 2008 visits by George and Cindy to see Casey in jail. During one visit, Casey told her father, “You’ve been a great dad and the best grandfather.” The defense could argue that she said those words because she was frightened of him and knew that police were taping the visit. But her many deceptions won’t incline jurors to give her the benefit of the doubt.
For the public, though, the endless variations of the truth coming from Courtroom 23 are fodder for constant posts and reposts, bitter condemnations and many!! exclamation!! points!!!! The Anthony family tale has so many crosscurrents that operate along such electrified moral axes that it’s hard to turn away. If you looked at O.J. Simpson in 1995 and saw a cold-blooded killer trying to get away with it, you could only scream at the television. But if you see murder in Casey Anthony’s big brown eyes during a live feed of her trial, you can tell all the world how delectable you will find her execution.
Today, Venice is calling me a guy again. Appears the name of Michelle is not distinguishable enough for Venice to make a correct determination on his own. Ironic since Venice is a guy himself but goes by a female name from time to time. His posts are always about attacks against those better-informed and higher-educated than himself. See Venice’s pattern? Venice has recently been discharged so don’t be too hard on him, he’s new to blogging. As you see Venice rarely discusses the post-topic, uses the opportunity to advance his attacks against those better-informed and he is listed on several psychology and Law sites and has a “label” as being officially diagnosed as psychotic. Sex offense cases against children are especially offensive. Several sites list comments by Venice stating the reason for his antics are due to some of the affects of the medications he takes for his reported testicular cancer which can readily be observed. He is also listed on the troll bureau sites and listed as a current parolee as well and has four confirmed police actions against him currently which are all verifiable. I see the Casey Anthony case has fallen apart again for the prosecution again today, why the prosecution doesn’t not try to get a conviction as they promised for first-degree murder appears to be a real mystery at this time.
Do you see how this psychotic individual rambles?? He is very mentally disturbed, and he will get into your personal life via your blog. PLEASE BEWARE.
Hey Psycho,
Leave the links for my verificable police actions! LMAO. WOW…..get some help Jayson. LOL.
Dear Blog Owner,
You need to be aware of the blogger michellefrommadison (Jaysen Bizack), as he is an identity thief. He has been banned from 90% of the blogs for his deceit, and I and others have been victims for 2 years. If you want links, please let me know. Also, simply google michellefrommadison to read into his minset to the type of filth he writes. Please be careful with your personal information.
Thanks for the warning, I really appreciate it. I had already realized there was something very strange about this character from his ridiculous commentary, as well as the fact that he’s a guy. But let me ask you, if you know who he is, and you say that you were victimized by him, why haven’t you reported him to the authorities and followed-up with WordPress so they ban him from the server?
Any information in how I ban him from the server would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you TGO for proving my points that un-informed people often consider better informed people as psycho or other derogatory terms by those not as well-educated, as well-informed, or as highly educated on the facts of the discussion. Facts do scare some people, especially the lower factions of our society.
You’re quite welcome.
TGO.
please for your own sanity do not listen to this whackjob who is going by the name of Michelle. which by the way is not his real name, he is banned from many many blogs and if you need verification on that i can give you some links that you can check out regarding this nut…. This person even went as far as to say on another blog “maybe caylee in her other life wont get into a pool and drown herself like she did in this life” how sick is that??? he is a long time casey lover trolling the blogs making absolutely no sense ever, and when asked a direct question can never answer it and keeps posting the same thing over and over… The first post he put under this article is the same post on like 5 other blogs right now haha the only blogs he still can access at this point and they haven’t banned him because they too have the same amount as sense as he does…NONE lol…..
Autumn.
Facts do scare some people Autumn, but thank you so very much for proving my points to be correct. And, you are welcome too, no charge. 🙂
Autumn, thanks for your input. I’ve had some experience with “Michelle” before, following Joran van der Sloot’s reported assassination of a couple of young girls; most notably Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
As others have previously pointed out to me, Michelle is probably a Michael (or Bob, or Bert, or Butch).
I believe that you’re right in that “Michelle” is a psycho. Thanks again!
Autumn…From the below, I have no doubt that every word on your comment is factual and accurate. I have no doubt that this dude loves this mental masturbation and between the time he obviously spends on this and giving fellatio every chance he gets, he obviously does not have a life but what I am a little befuddled with is this whole game called trolling and what exactly people can be banned for. Would you take a minute or two and enlighten me? I mean, what does a troller get out of it? Do people actually take it seriously? You say to TGO, “please for your own sanity …” so it seems you are insinuating that they do. What is the whole deal here?

Defense doesn’t have to prove George did anything. The prosecution has the burden of proving the allegations, the defense doesn’t have tp prove anything, the just raise doubt as to the validity of the prosecutions allegations. Why the prosecution continues to act so weak and misguided is anyones guess. .
I know the way the political system in this country works. My point, which you continue to avoid, pertains to Casey’s behavior after knowledge of her daughter’s death. Since you brought George into the picture, I just went along. Again, if, as you claim, Casey is innocent, then what you are stating is that it was George who is the wrongdoer. Why then, has Casey’s defense not put him on the stand and question him; as this would help exonerate Casey?
TGO, where have I stated that Casey may be innocent? Many experts have stated that the likelihood of the state proving Casey is guilty of first-degree murder is highly unlikely and not even probable, which I happen to agree. Even if convicted, there are multiple errors by the Judge and the prosecuted that will result in a reversal on Appeal, at least according to the facts of the Anthony case. Hopefully the cost of the prosecution does not cost any citizen even a penny because the prosecutions presentation thus far isn’t worth beans, imo.
Why would the state conclude their case before they proved guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Did they run out of money?
Assuming that Casey Anthony is innocent and in fact found NOT GUILTY of the murder of her daughter, and that Casey drowned in her grandparent’s pool as alleged by the defense, what do you think of a woman (mother) who finds her 2 year-old toddler dead; never reports the incident; puts the little girl in the trunk of her car; wraps her face with duct tape; and haphazardly buries the little girl in a field?
Casey may have simply been following the commands of George, she knows he has a hot temper, so she just did what he demanded. Other than Casey knew of the drowning, looks like George did all the rest and Casey was not even involved in the step-by-step actions that followed Caylee’s accidental death. Defense has reports and verifications that George made at least four calls to a convicted felon to assist in the cover-up.
In your reply to my comment you are stating (as fact) that Caylee’s death was accidental, but that has yet to be established. If this had been established, Casey wouldn’t be facing first-degree murder charges.
So… Based on your “information” on the case, why hasn’t the defense put George on the witness stand? If nothing else, having him testify might help exonerate Casey.
