I am so glad this question was posted. I am a clinical psychologist and am totally obsessed with KC's psych profile. I think when the trial is over we will hear a lot about prior antisocial behavior. It may not have risen to the level of serious criminal behavior, though problems like...

I say its splittsville very soon after a verdict. Yoiu just can't get past some of the stuff that has gone on, and the lies without remaining forever dysfunctional. I thinhk George is seeing the light, perhaps getting mental health care. He will not be able to stay with lying controlling Cindy...

Well said. George was a flawed man...no more flawed than many of us or people we know. He was not perfect; but he was a perfect Grandpa. I hope he has good mental health coverage because he has a long road ahead of him. There will never be complete healing but he CAN go on to do good. He is a...

This wasn't an option but I learned to never ever ever even consider flipping the bird in court.:rocker:

I'm a good writer but I couldn't write a closing statement for the defense except possibly for the charge of 1st degree Murder (and even then it would be hard). Given the evidence, I cannot think of a closing statement for lesser charges. If I wrote their closing statement for the 1st Degree...

I suspect it will be LWOP if there is a first degree murder conviction. I don't think they will convict based on premeditation but since the child died while committing a felony (abuyse, neglect, etc) then that would count toward 1st degree. I doubt it will be the death penalty out of concern...

I am new to this thread and was VERY upset by Wednesday's courtroom proceedings. What got me was the so called trauma and grief "expert" who never even evaluated KC. I am a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma (submitted my CV to Websleuths to be a verified profressional here), AND...

" If she has been turning on her lawyers, they probably wonder if she really gets it. CM may have recognized the need to determine, in writing, that KC does understand the severity of her situation. " I think this is entirely possible and would be a legitimate rason to ask for a competency...

This is sort of my thinking. I believe KC was giving hints in the search for Caylee without actually coming out and saying it (too incriminating). I also believe at one or more family members knew Caylee had been placed in trash bags. Ths is why KC says to check places that are familiar to...

I want to ask WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING with this trial?????? http://www.wftv.com/caseyanthony/index.html

I voted he probably will testify in another trial but he sure learned a BIG lesson today. He testified outside his scope of expertise and got caught up in landslide. The bigesterror an expert witness can make is to g beyond their scope of practice. This guy got his PHD in 2008. In my...

I voted for JA. We are a society who expects high drama in a courtroom and JA can deliver more of that then LDB. I am sure JA can review the evidence in an intelligent coherent manner for the jury. He will add that biut of passion to keep the jury listening. LDB is smart, but not quite sassy...

I was surprised that the Prosecution didn't call certain people--like RK and Robyn. Then I thought about it and realized how smart they were becuase if they called them, then the DT could cross-examine and it opens a whole can of worms. The DT may be doing the same thing. Question the physical...

I checked "Other" but only because I do think there is a remote possibility of sexual abuse (NOT of Caylee drowning in the pool or GA having anything to do with it). I have seen and heard too much about sexual abuse over the years to never be surprised if someone starts remembering. I think KC...

If she is medicated its not with anything too strong or she would probably fall asleep in court when she looks bored. She very well might be on an antidepressant which is non sedating and probably doesn't do much for her.
