One Long, Boring Morning

Casey Anthony in court this morning, Thursday, 5-12-11

Looks like someone on the defense read the blogs. Casey has either been instructed about her body language or given something to calm her down. There's very little hair-fiddling going on. She looks bored.

Pity poor Prospective Juror Number One. He has been on the stand for over two hours. The state dispatched with their questioning fairly quickly. Jose Baez has droned on...and on...and on.

Prior to taking a lunch recess, Judge Perry reminded the attorneys that there are still 36 more potential jurors to question, and that he intends to get through them today. In what appeared to be a veiled admonition to the defense attorneys, he reminded the attorneys that they are qualifying the potential jurors, not pre-trying the case.

It also appears that Baez has tipped his hand as to how the defense is going to approach the case. He grilled the first potential juror about how he would feel about hearing someone had been sexually abused, was a liar, a child dying by "accident", etc.

For the last week or so, there has been growing speculation that the defense was going to throw George Anthony under the bus, somehow implicating him in Caylee's death, and/or alleging that there was sexual abuse committed by George.

I'll say it again - I don't like either Cindy or George Anthony. Their behavior the summer Caylee disappeared was utterly repugnant. Despite the web of Casey's lies, I feel that George and Cindy are guilty of obstruction of justice, due to their antics the summer that Caylee disappeared. But I do NOT believe George or Cindy were in any way responsible for Caylee's death. Certainly, there was a mighty unhealthy Anthony family dynamic years before Caylee disappeared.

It's mind-numbing to watch Team Casey d-r-a-g the jury selection process out as they are doing. Worse to realize that the cold, soulless, Casey Anthony sits in the courtroom fully prepared to sacrifice her parents for a shot at her own freedom.
