IMHO, which is really humble, the most interesting portion of yesterday's motions is Lyons' explanation of why the Anthony's need to visit without being taped. Much talk of 'mitigation'.
Am I totally offbase that the word 'mitigation' means Lyons' is admitting she did it? If not, what is there to mitigate?
From Lyons motio -- 'Mitigation often involves the investigation and discussion of painful and emotional past acts or occurrences or certainly circumstances surrounding the inmate and his crime that are not easily disclosed to strangers.'
and
'Miss Anthony must be allowed the support of her family and the ability to talk to her family while discussing these emotionally charged topics with her attorney. The inherent stressful nature of a mitigation investigation requires that the capitally charged person feel supported by her family while talking about what could be very difficult topics to discuss.'
Sounds to me like Lyons' saying she did it, but you shouldn't fry her. And she needs to visit with her family privately so Casey can announce, "under the bus you go, you go! No hard feelings, right?? Your not gonna, like, deny that you beat me / sexually abused me / were MEAN to me, right? 'Cause if you do, I'll be ever so mad at you and you can forget me ever waving to you in the courtroom."
