]It doesnt matter what she wears, what colours or how she does her hair.[/B]
Lack of emotion will way heavy with the jury.
She appears bored, uninterested and it appears to me like she is watching this happen to someone else. It appears it is one big game to her. She is so detached. These are not the actions of a grieving mother, who's only child has been taken and murdered by someone and she has been wrongly accused accused of the murder.
Regardless of how she tries to act, she is who she is and I think comes across crystal clear. She acts like she doesnt have a care in the world, is bored out of her mind and will walk out of there soon enough without having to face the consequenses of her actions, because that doesnt just happen to her. That is what she probably exactly what she is thinking too.
I'm sure if all of us can see this, the jury will be able to also. Lets all hope.

I agree. I get that the defense thinks they are starting with a fresh slate when it comes to the jury, they will only see the image before them and not be jaded like the 'bloggers and media." But if the jury is anything like me, I felt Casey was guilty instantly. I don't wish for a jury to make a snap decision, even though I thought that about Casey-I call that my intuition and then I go about backing that up with facts. Which I have done and I find that my initial intuition was correct. :snooty: IMHO
Has there ever been a case where a young beautiful mother was wrongly convicted of killing her baby? I am asking. This paradigm the defense is seemingly depending on, of a jury who will nod their heads in agreement that we have another case of "the powers that be" going after innocent middle class white girls who's daughters get kidnapped-is not one I have in my world view or experience.
The folks who make up Casey's team have their reasons for why they so vigorously defend ICA, being their jobs to do so is one of them. But, they were not assigned this task but took it of their own volition: insert threads and threads of reasons why that is for each player. In their zeal to convince so many others of their point of view, their reality, they fail to realize that the majority of people imho do not share their points of view. And neither will the jury, if it is made up of "regular" people.
IMHO, when you see Casey-when the jury sees ICA, no matter what her manner of dress or how she gets her hair "did"-the very fact of her existence in that court room accused of what she is lets you know something is very wrong with her. I can't help but speak from my own small experience of the world, and that is why my words are only my opinion-but most people see themselves as having much difficulty in life-more than they will see in ICA and will need to hear extreme evidence that she did not kill Caylee to see Casey as innocent.
In my world view there is the archetype of the black widow, the manipulative medusa. When have we ever put the beautiful, young, mother to death? If I am corrected on this I will be very surprised. I think of Aileen Wuornos when I think of the "type" of woman who is convicted and put to death. I am certainly showing my ignorance here of many subjects related to juries, courts, etc.
The defense wants to claim that Casey is the "classic" wrongly accused. I don't see that, and I do not see how a jury will. They want to craft an image into that of the innocent, when everything about Casey, imho says "if she wasn't a least a little guilty she wouldn't be here." If I was innocent but in jail, there would be a non stop writing campaign to get someone to listen to my side of things but not before I knew I had people on the outside that were still looking for my child.
Nothing Casey does in person meshes with someone who is innocent and has been accused of killing her daughter. Only a sociopath would believe a person would act as she does. They can offer all the 'evidence' they want that Casey was a loving mother but reality(itself) dictates there are expected emotions for the child, which to date Ms. Anthony has shown no evidence of, quite the contrary. The prosecution has witnesses who will be testifying to that fact and each one of those folks come across exactly as they should, as people telling the truth.
If there was a quote I would choose for this case it would be "she's just not showing any emotion and Casey lies." The argument "just because you are a liar and a thief does not make you a murderer" only works in a vacuum. It plays on our understanding that we have all done things wrong, this is true but not many of us have then been accused of murder.
I believe and have faith in people's intuition and their hinky meters. Next I am going to read the threads pertaining to jury selection so I can have an idea of this process. I can give my opinion all day long about what I would think as a juror, but truly some people's thought processes are "alien" to mine. I should say it is more true that it is
my thought processes, that are alien. :alien:
In my opinion of what I have seen from the defense in the court room, they are presenting a movie that has too many plot holes.
