Casey Anthony jury in for tough schedule

[countzero]

I'm not so sure the over 40 group will be at all sensitive to the stories "control" over ICA - especially those over 60 who came from childhoods where "children were seen and not heard" and there were some pretty tight controls on what young women could and could not do. Anyone who is over 50 has been raised by parents born in the 30's. 40's or 50's, who have a whole different view of what young people should and should not do. I don't think they will be sensitive since some of them had to leave school to work and help support their families, and certainly had none of the advantages ICA did. Many had extremely strict parents who would have thought the way CA handled ICA was a cakewalk.

So I can't agree with you on this one - IMO.

LOL, I said a touch of sorrow. As in a fleeting moment of sorrow. Then quickly snap back into reality of what and who ICA and CA are. :angel: I am in that age group and you're right, I have a totally different view on how children, young adults should conduct themselves. 180 degrees opposite of CA. But I can also understand how ICA became what she did. I don't excuse her actions at all. I hold her, CA/GA/LA accountable for Caylee's murder and the resulting actions as they have conducted themselves.

The mitigation specialist testimony won't save ICA, but it will explain what and how the past lead to Caylee's murder. One issue I do have with J Barrett is from her short testimony. I found her entirely be lead to the twisted truth by the As. And I suspect the jury will also. The web of lies will simply negate any attempt to mitigate.

Back to the thread subject, jurors will be inconvenienced no doubt about that. Again, I don't believe anyone who is interested in justice will refuse or come up with excuses not to serve. Issue I see is JB finding one, just one person, who he feels will believe ICA by the end of the trial. It's gonna be difficult for him to find one person who has no immediate family, no young children in the family, no friends with toddlers, who can relate to having a close relationship with a toddler and who has no baggage from growing up or knows someone like ICA or CA.

Polar opposite here as far as the influence CA has had on ICA, but I do agree with a fleeting instant of sorrow for how ICA has destroyed own her life and completely destroyed her daughter. Too fleeting to even have an instant thought of innocence.

But here's where you and I differ. I do think ICA is a sociopath, and CA has had little or no influence on ICA. I believe what CA has done is some kind of mitigation to the outside world, but made every effort to smooth the family life as far as ICA is concerned. I think that whole family is actually afraid of ICA and I will bet she is vindictive as he77 with a terrible temper. I do however heavily criticize CA for not first understanding they needed outside help and than getting it, but I still believe CA is deeply ashamed of "producing" a creature like ICA, and feels she is to blame. I don't have any sympathy for her, but her statement of them being cut from the same cloth is just so much hogwash and a stupid attempt at bravado. CA has some pretty terrible lessons to learn in the path ahead of her, and I do question her mental stability and if in fact she will be able to cope with the many truths heading her way.

Okay, fire way! :truce:

PS: Back to the thread - I believe the jury will be so fascinated/repelled by this case they won't feel inconvenienced at all.

I have not watched the clip ,just can not watch these morons anymore.IMO BAEZ wants a high Latino Pop.That is why he wanted Miami.He thinks since he claims to be the first Latino trying a high profile case,A Latino jury would do what OJ'S jury did.IMO that would not happen, but I guess with his client and his moronic legal mind that is the best he can hope for.He is after all a Legal Legend in his own mind.If there is alien life on another planet without internet and newspapers and this case was heard there he still does not have a snowballs chance in you know where of anything but a guilty verdict.IMO

ITA and wish I lived in FL and could be on the jury.A few months in a hotel ie no cooking cleaning or food shopping after being a wife for 33 years I would put a side my feelings and look at all the evidence, seek justice and enjoy my vacation.

Well we've almost got the jury issue straightened out, just need a few more Florida WS'ers. Can you imagine ? On the bright side, I doubt deliberations would take too long...a few minutes give or take. Another plus is that, since we "bloggers" have no life, schueduling, travel to another county, would be no problem. Wouldn't Cindy love a bunch of "bloggers" deciding the fate of her mother of the year ?

Am I the only one who thinks that 6 weeks away from the family, with your laundry being done for you, and all meals brought to you, with transportation provided to work, and a team a deputies at the ready to take you bowling sounds kinda . . . nice?

I wonder if Baez has forgotten that his his client has thrown out a Latino woman's name as the kidnapper/murderer. And, that the defendent's mom doesn't like Latino's. Hmmm..perhaps he should reconsider.

Now that you put it that way....no dishes to wash, no laundry to wash/fold and put away, no one to interrupt you while you sleep.....sad to say but it sounds nice to me. lol I would miss my family though.

SUPER interesting, Kent. Forwarding to all my legal-eagle amigos... Check out the recommends at the end (bolds mine):

* During voir dire, counsel should inquire as to jurors' usage of the Internet generally, and social media specifically. Inquire as to what websites jurors frequent, how often they access those websites, and if they post to those websites. Ask whether the jurors blog.
* Counsel should request that in his initial instructions to the jury, the judge expressly prohibit research and communications on the Internet at any time during the trial. The instructions should explicitly reference and prohibit the use of social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace.
* Counsel can also request that the judge remind jurors of the penalties for conducting outside research and require jurors to sign declarations stating that they will not research the case details on the Internet.
* During a trial, counsel should regularly check social media websites to confirm whether jurors are posting or blogging regarding the trial.
* Counsel should take the preemptive step of conducting their own Internet research to learn what information exists online about the trial, including any information regarding the litigants, witnesses, and lawyers.
* Counsel should review their case and consider what questions might arise during the trial that could prompt a juror to look elsewhere for answers. Counsel should take these questions into consideration when putting together its case presentation.
* Where juror misconduct seems apparent, counsel should strongly consider a post verdict motion for voir dire of a juror to determine whether juror misconduct has in fact occurred.

Hey, count me in, I would love to be on this jury.

They are not going to have any problem finding people to sit on this jury. And I do believe they will be fair and impartial. I think the defense is going to do its best to do undermine the experts re decomposition odor in the trunk, etc. And when she gets found guilty (my opinion) the defense will come out saying, we are very happy with the verdict but plan to appeal on several items - this is an appeal dream - Just as they said with Scott Peterson. Meanwhile, he sits on death row. Watched Aphrodite Jones' show on Peterson the other day and Marc Gallegos (sp?) could not have looked more bored at the end. He could have cared less. Did it solely for the notariety - just as Baez is doing.

 

[*~Aimee~*]

I would like to see a poll on if one would want to be on the jury and away from family/friends that long? My family is older (except my grand babies) so they don't really "need" me daily in their lives. But I have medical issues not sure if I could do it physically, but would love to be on it.
But what if you have school aged children and they need their mommy/daddy there. How does that work....can one go home on weekends? Or are they there in the hotel for 2 months +​

Given that the State has objected to the jurors exposure to Lifetime during sequestration....I wonder if that "thwarts" a plan that JB had. Perhaps Jim Lichtensten will be unhappy to hear that.

So if the defense argues the motion ,I wonder what they'll say? Obviously the State knows something.

 

[BlOnDe_GuRrL]

when will the jury find out that they are on the anthony case?
and can't they refuse? everyone i know who's even been picked for jury duty has gotten out of it for some reason or another.

2 months in hiding... away from my hubby and kids, 2 of them who are young and change on a daily basis... missing half of the older 2's summer vacation. HELL no. unless of course, i was made aware that it was, of course, the anthony case.. which is history in the making.. i'd want to be a part of that history.

 

[Kimster]

It might depend on where you live. When I was asked to serve on the Grand Jury a couple of years ago, I let them know I couldn't because I was unemployed and needed to have a loose schedule in case I had work or an opportunity for a job interview. They said "too bad how sad" and I was on the list anyway. They never called me though and my term is over now.

News of the state's objection to Lifetime got my attention for the same reason ... I wondered if the state has knowledge of up and coming shows about the case ? :waitasec:
