One hundred million percent agree Katty.    Except for one little thing... I don't blame the little girls, I blame the ghastly, fame hungry mommies, trying to live their lives through their daughters.  Pushy stage mommies and pageant mommies are the worst kind IMO. 

Stonks, I havent heard any more on this either hun...

I follow the Casey Anthony case stonks. The trial begins on May 9th. 
Atm they`re holding hearings re which witnesses will be allowed to give evidence, which of her recorded jailhouse conversations will be allowed and lots of other stuff like that.   
It`s most people`s opinion (including her brother) that her defence team are pretty incompetent.
They had the original Judge (Judge Strickland) removed for commenting on an internet blog about the case. It was an innocent comment, something like "interesting blog"
He was a more lenient Judge than the one who replaced him. (Judge Belvin Perry) He`s known to be one of the toughest Judges in California. Fair but strict.  J.Strickland was seemingly against the death penalty so if she was found guilty she would have got life without parole. Judge Perry has allowed the death penalty as an option. 
They`ve been missing deadlines for certain things required by the court that they have to give to the State prosecutors. They`ve been fined for contempt of court by J. Perry for this. 
There`s also been a complaint put forward about her main lawyer ( Jose Baez) falsifying a witness statement and telling lies.
It`s a known fact he doesn`t have the experience to handle a case of this magnitude.   
She`s made a big mistake by choosing that defence team. 

Only the Judge knows where the trial will be held. It`s being kept a secret until the last minute because the case is so huge in America, it would cause chaos for that town/city before it starts -with the media moving in and hotels overflowing etc. 

The trial is being aired live on the internet. If you or anyone are interested, I could find the links where you can watch it.

Hadn't heard anything about this case til I read this thread then I googled it  Such a shame that even the granny changed her story tryin to protect her daughter.  Looks clear enough that the mother killed the wee one but if by some miracle it turned out not to be her then still shame on her for not reporting her baby missing  Some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

Stonks and anyone whose interested - the trial starts today!

 

I`ve been following this for nearly 3 years - all the pre-trial hearings and jury selections, it`s been a marathon but it`s finally starting! 

 

BST 2pm - 10pm with recesses for lunch etc. Monday - Saturday (half day Sat.) 

It`s expected to last 6-8 weeks. 

 

You can watch it live online. This is the best site

 

http://live.cnn.com/

 

This is quite good too...

It would obviously be impossible to watch all day, everyday, so if you want to catch up...

there`s a tubey member (Sierra) who uploads the trial throughout the day and pretty quickly...

Or you can just tubey search "Casey Anthony" Go to "search options" and click on "upload date" 

and you`ll get the latest news reports of the trial.

 

This is also a great forum to read about it - lots of clever legal eagles commenting...

I wonder if Lockes is around? She was really interested.  

Hi if you`re reading this Lockes.   

 

I`m off to tidy the hoose before the big start!  

 

Bye the noo

You`re welcome Ev. 

 

It`s a fascinating case, if that`s the right word? 

So many twist & turns....

 

I followed the Scott Peterson case too. Like you, I was hooked. I`m the same with this one...although, for me, this one is even more interesting.

 

Good link there for the timeline Ev. 

 

Hope you can at least watch the start of the case today. The opening statement by the prosecution should be powerful stuff.  The defense are on a hiding to nothing imo, so I can`t wait to see how they open. They go first. 

 

Got to go. It starts in 10 minutes.

I blame OJ Simpson Scotty for my interest in these trials.

 

i have just made the excuse that my daughter is studying Criminology law and forensics in uni  to justify why i am interested in this case hahahaa

 

Just put the link up on my facebook not long ago, already a headed debate on MY fb due to an American fb friend saying she is guilty and should hang etc etc, and someone replying saying you know all this and she hasn't even been in court yet. Maybe you should tell the judge and he can send everyone home and save taxpayers money
