Thread # 1 (7/5 - 7/11) Casey Anthony Verdict ~ Guilty of only providing false information to Law Enforcement x4/ Will get out of jail Sun., July 17, 2011! There was NO Justice for Caylee Marie Anthony/ America is outraged!

[Wrapitup]

That's what I'm thinking..

George and Cindy were NOT in court this morning. I don't blame them. They have been through enough already. I feel such empathy for them, but don't blame their neighbors for wanting them to move. Why stay in that home w/all the memories? I hope they have totally disheveled or taken all of Casey's things out, put them in trash bags with duct tape, and took them to the dump.

[Wrapitup]

What an idiot Bozo is. This is from this morning:

I can't see Cindy ever giving up hope and throwing KC things in the dump. I hope she can one day because I believe KC is going to be in prison for life.

Pics of Casey's demeanor in court this morning. Can you say nutjob/pathological liar/murderer?? If this were me, I would be hanging my head in shame!

Casey Anthony News13
Jurors seemed to be dressed up a little more. Some of the women had jackets on and the guys had polo shirts on.

Maybe because they expect to announce the verdict today?

Wouldn't that be great? Waiting is really nervewracking, isn't it?! As much as I have faith in the right verdict...I do have that little "nervous OJ verdict fairy" whisper in my ear now and then!

If she was found guilty of 4, 5, 6, and 7 at 5 years each
which is the maximum that is 20 years - serve maybe 12 to 15 years, plus manslaughter with 15 years - still means it could be a sentence of 20 to 30 years

On CNN HLN these are the two jurors that are discussed more than the others.

Seat 4
Juror #1319
» African American woman, about 40
» Reluctant to judge people, "That's for God to do."
» Prosecution (Batson rule) tried to preempt challenge her. Defense objected that she was being eliminated just because of her race. Judge agreed
» Plays games like Farmville
» Doesn’t watch news
» No opinion on DP

Seat 5
Juror # 1429
» White female in her 60s
» Retired, 11th grade education
» She had a DUI in 1998, and her son and grandson both had drug problems

[artgal16]

I was on Blink comments and one of them commented that juror #4 nodded her head in the affirmative when Baez said it was an accident, however, if explain the charges of an accident due to aggravated child abuse its still murder one - but you still never know which way this will go. Shes not going to go free thats for sure she has those last four charges I would think she would get the maximum sentence as shes a convicted felon. At one year each with three years served though she could get only one more year on the other end as well!

Found this article interesting article

As the jury deliberates her fate, accused murder mom CASEY ANTHONY say­s she’s pregnant, The ENQUIRER has learned!

America’s most infa­mous mom dropped that bombshell on inmate pals while on trial for the brutal slaying of her adorable 2-year-old daugh­ter Caylee.

In an incredible new twist in the case that has gripped America, in­siders at Orlando’s Orange County Jail say the hard-partying 25-year-old is saying she’s having a baby, in the belief that that may save her from the death penalty.

What’s more, twisted Casey claims a new child will help heal the hole left in her heart by Caylee’s death.

“The creepy thing is how Casey wants another sweet little girl to make up for dear Caylee,” says a prison insider. “She’s making a big deal about being a few weeks pregnant, but only among a few people close to her in the jailhouse.

“She still isn’t show­ing, but she says the pregnancy is in the very early stages and is hoping to start showing soon so the people in the courtroom will notice.

“Months ago, Casey told her jail­house friends that she wanted to get pregnant – and recently said she missed her period. Then she said she was starting to get feelings in her body that reminded her of when she was in the early stages of carrying Caylee. Soon after missing her period, Casey started getting sick – throwing up in the morning. She said that all this convinced her she was pregnant.”

While it wasn’t easy, Casey told pals she found opportunities to have sex behind bars, say sources.


There’s also another chilling pos­sibility.

“Casey could be lying about being pregnant just to get atten­tion,” explained the insider. “It is her nature, and her motive would be to play an emotional card with the jury, which might feel sorry enough not to

“Her few confidants inside the prison don’t know what to make of her incred­ible claim.,” observed the insider.

“Is it another Casey fantasy or is it true? Only time will tell.”

Casey’s behavior led to a surprise two-day hearing on June 25 and 26 to determine if she was compe­tent enough for the trial to continue.

C o u r t - o r d e r e d psychologists who examined her con­cluded she was.

And with the case in the hands of the jurors, the fate of Casey rests on their interpretation of emotional witnesses coupled with circumstantial evidence to render a verdict.

Ok I am juror number 13 and I am having a lot of trouble with the chloroform.

I don't see Casey making it. I don't know where she got it. I don't find evidence of having it, making it or finding it in her home?

If the jurors have decided her guilty I am thinking it is taking a long time to figure out the charge. That is kind of confusing to me.

And I know when I leave the jury room I will be interviewed and need to answer the tough questions.

A agree that I don't they would dress up if deliberations were expected to last a long time.

Oh my...I am not a good waiter!

[jeanne1807]

Oh for heavens sake give the liar a pregnancy test! What foolishness.

[Wrapitup]

I posted on the other thread that the NE said she was pregnant. Actually read the entire article waiting in line at WalMart. Their last statement was they were not sure. Just more hype.

I heard someone on CNN say that you get chloroform when you mix ammonia and bleach. I remember my mother telling me the fumes were dangerous, when I was a very young child, and to never mix the two.

9 hours and 38 minutes of deliberation now.

Typed in "how to make chloroform" google added "at home". Below is the results. (A gatorade bottle might be a good container for the distilled chloroform).....

WRAP IS IT OKAY TO LEAVE THIS>>>PLEASE DELETE IF NOT

To learn how to make chloroform, you will need the following materials: acetone, water, pitcher, ice, and shock powder. The mixture of shock powder and acetone creates a mix that is potent and at the same time dangerous. Shock powder is Calcium Hypochlorite and is used for swimming pools. You can purchase this in hardware or pool supply stores.
To make the chloroform, you will need to put the water first into the pitcher. As soon as you have poured the water, put the shock powder, and use a wooden stick to help dissolve the powder. As soon as you are done, you will need to put some ice in the pitcher. And then slowly pour the acetone in. Slowly stir the acetone while pouring the acetone into the pitcher. You need to do this slowly since there will be a chemical reaction when the water starts to change in its temperature. Usually 135 degrees will keep the chloroform working.
As soon as you are done stirring, you will notice that there are 3 layers in the pitcher. The acetone, water, and the chloroform. When distilling the chloroform, you need to be careful, so you will need a funnel to help separate the layers. Always wear some protective clothing when handling the chemicals. Wear a mask as well since chloroform has intoxicating effects. Now that you have transferred the chemical in its bottle, seal the bottle well, and store it in a place out of children's reach. You will have to put a label outside the bottle just in case you forget its contents. Always wipe the spills with gloves. Use a dispersing agent to make sure the affected area is now okay. If you don't have any dispersing agent, you will need to shovel some sand on the affected area to prevent the gas from diffusing into the room.
If someone swallows chloroform, do not let the person take anything except for milk. Loosen the person's clothing and bring this person as soon as possible to the doctor to get some treatment. Take note of the person's contaminated clothing, and put it immediately in the washer to prevent further contamination. This is very potent, even small amounts of this chemical could lead to coma and even death.

She declined to testify in her murder trial, but Casey Anthony was caught making inaudible remarks during the prosecution's rebuttal that may contradict her own defense.

Casey Anthony could be seen mouthing either "it's not his fault" or "because it's his fault" while prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick told the jury in the final moments of the case Monday that Casey Anthony was trying to pin responsibility for the death of her daughter Caylee on her father, George Anthony.

The defense has argued that 2-year-old Caylee wasn't murdered, but drowned accidentally in the family pool. They claimed that George Anthony found the girl's body and helped dispose of it. The defense also suggested that Casey's mother, Cindy Anthony, may have left in place the ladder into the pool.

As Burdick told the jury, "Casey Anthony would have you believe that this is all her mother's fault anyway for leaving the ladder down, let's twist the knife in my mom a little bit more," Anthony can be seen on videotape saying something to herself.

Expert lip-reader Terry Ruane believes Anthony said, "I never said anything like that, it wouldn't have been my mom."

Ruane says that the full sentence uttered by Anthony appears to be, "I never said anything like that, wouldn't have been my mom. It isn't his fault."

Did Casey Anthony Contradict Her Own Defense?

If Ruane is correct, Casey Anthony is not placing blame on either of her parents.

HLN host Nancy Grace said today on "Good Morning America" that she thinks Casey Anthony said "it's not his fault."

"If she is in fact saying it's not his fault -- talking about George -- that breaks the defense case wide open because they, as opposed to proving an accidental drowning, have chosen to vilify George Anthony from the get go," said Grace.

ABC News' legal analyst Dan Abrams isn't so sure.

"It seems to me she could be saying 'It's his fault,'" said Abrams.

Both Abrams and Grace agree that if the jury noticed Anthony making remarks it could have an affect on their verdict. The jury, comprised of seven women and five men, are deliberating now for the first full day since receiving their charge.

"If the jury saw it, it might mean something," said Grace. "They were watching her."

Abrams adds, "It's important, the jurors are watching."

"Even if they're not directly looking at the defendant, they can see the defendant. They can try to look, they can look out of the side of their eyes," said Abrams.

The prosecution has argued throughout the trial that Anthony killed her daughter by drugging Caylee with chloroform and suffocating her with duct tape over her mouth and nose.

If the jury finds her guilty of first degree murder, Anthony would be eligible for the death penalty.

It is shocking that it is easy but dangerous to make Chloroform. So KC did not need a chemistry set after all. A few household items plus the Shock powder which is easy to get.
