Casey hiding her face from jury
 
here we go...foundation for cause and manner of death...go get 'em Dr. G you :rocker:
 
JA is going into manner and cause of death. This is good to explain it to the jury!
 
the cameras followed her in her practice while she performed autopsies and explained how the person died-awesome show!

A show Casey would most likely watch regularly in another universe. She liked CSI, and House. Dr. G is the real deal :twocents:
 
I think it's important to mention that the cases on her show are just ANONYMOUS, interesting autopsies. NOT famous ones or sensational.

Yes, and it is a documentary, very educational, tasteful and nothing like InSessions or 48hours type of crime shows.

on xm116 , HLN.

Sidebar called as Dr G starts to mention opinion on cause and manner of death.
 
I think it's important to mention that the cases on her show are just ANONYMOUS, interesting autopsies. NOT famous ones or sensational.

Didn't Dr. Baden from the OJ trial have the same type of show way back when?
 
Interesting body language. As they are talking about the blanket Casey grabs a sweater or shawl and wraps herself up cocooning.

Maybe she's trying to project that she's just like Caylee a victim??? Who knows? Her theatrics are disgusting either way.

side bar
 
Sorry but DT theory the body was moved just went right out window.

No way. No how. Not with that many roots growing through the blanket.

THAT is what I keep getting from all this testimony today! And it is VIP!

Just looking at these photos and hearing the descriptions make it obvious Caylee's little body layed in that swamp since JUNE 2008! The jury will think the same, imo.


Defense theory is bunked. They will never buy that BS.
 
Sidebar! What a surprise, since Dr. G was about to testify as to manner of death.
