A savvy defense attorney asks no questions, and the focus is on telling the client not to discuss the case with anyone, or anything related to the case. Then, the defense attorney asks the client to write out what happened, telling the client that they don't have to be afraid of telling the "truth" about the drowning accident.

Clever.

Of course. What a wonderful world it would be if every defense lawyer that knew, deep inside or in actuality, that their client were guilty, would be required to divuldge it to the court.

The truth is that they cleverly never ask directly, and they carefully suggest and formulate a defense strategy with their client...i.e. the drowning and abuse claims.

He was looked at, investigated, took a lie detector, and was found to be not involved.

That fact also makes me wonder if the computer searches were also for possibly murdering her parents. That, along with her behavior after Caylee was dead, especially the tattoo, just says to me that she planned it.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of reasonable doubt that Caylee died by suffocation from the duct tape. I simply think that there is no way to know how she died. I too think that the duct tape could have been applied to keep the decomposition fluids from leaking out, but, uh, not to be gross, but that would mean that there should be additional tape on other parts of the body if that were the reason. Cindy Anthony testified that Caylee was pretty much potty-trained.

And can somebody explain to me what relevance searching for "shovel" might have? I've never understood why that is relevant. What information about shovels would you need to research?

I am so glad I'm not on this jury. There is so much conflicting information in this case, I don't think I could ever make a decision.

Oh, and I think she will be found guilty, and get life, because I don't think a jury would be comfortable choosing death without really knowing how Caylee died.

Interesting. I had not heard this testimony from Amy. Scary even.

I think the shed was locked(to protect from further theft of gas) so Casey had to borrow a shovel from the neighbor at the last minute (as if Casey would really be digging up bamboo shoots ). I think Casey's plan might have been to bury Caylee under the play house and she placed the bagged body next to it. However, Casey found it too difficult to dig inside there and underestimated the stone foundation under the play house.

I don't buy the theory that the tape was put on her mouth post-mortem because of fluids leaking out. Fluids would be leaking out of ALL of the body orifices. Nose, mouth, and eyes, ears and pelvic area. Why would Casey put tape on the mouth and nose only when fluids were also leaking out everywhere else? (And in that heat the skin would break down quickly anyway.)

Good point. In fact, the mouth area would be too wet for tape to adhere at that point. In order for the tape to adhere, it had to be applied to dry skin.

I was of the mindset she was guilty until I saw how little evidence they have... basically none.

While emotionally I think she had a lot to do with the girls death. I don't see anything that should stick unless it is done purely as an emotional vote.

I will be surprised if they can even get a conviction.

The jurors are dressed very nicely as decribed on tv...my guess is that they want to be camera ready when the verdict is out!...what is your opinion?

Why do u believe she is guilty? I believe the State did a horrible jobs with the physical evidence. The defense had a what if about all the evidence. She may or may not be guilty so how will we know without confession. Truth be told, know one knows how Kaylee really died. The only thing that can be proved is that the Anthony family sucks. They are all responsible and should all fry. The little girl is dead and they are playing games with the lies and scandals. One question not answered is how did Kaylee die.
