The Moment Waited For
Casey Anthony Trial Date Set
The official trial date is now set. January 5, 2009. Happy New Year.
Casey Anthony is now scheduled to stand trial in Orlando, Florida for the murder of her still missing little girl Caylee and for now let’s assume the date sticks. This is one of those cases. A case; a story that captures the heart of the country, inflames passion, angers, no enrages. An irresponsible mom who would rather not be a mom of any kind. More fun to party, come on, life doesn’t end at age 22 does it? What’s wrong with having a social life?
As sorry as I feel for the loving friends, grandparents and others who have become so involved in the sad saga, let’s be real here. Caylee is likely in a much better place now. The newest evidence; “air tests” of the Anthony car trunk revealing samples “consistent” with decomposition. The new info; the strand of hair that is “similar” to one found in Caylee’s brush; the chloroform residue; and most of all the strange explanation given by mother Casey saying she spent a month looking for her daughter before reporting her missing…it all leads to the same reasonable conclusion, Mommy Dearest.
And Casey, jurors don’t worry about dead bodies never found. In fact, a missing body pisses them off. Remember Perry March, the Tennessee attorney who killed his wife? Ten years later and the body was never found. No body; no problem. Perry will never see the outside world again.
I’m confident Ms. Anthony will get as fair a trial as is humanly possible under the circumstances. Too bad for her those circumstances include, a Florida venue; a nationally exposed case that has painted her a monster; and a truly unbelievable explanation of her actions once she “discovered” her child missing. Ask any parent.
In the normal course, a suspected killer might hope to escape the death penalty by telling authorities where to find the deceased victim. But the Anthony defense team has steadfastly held that Caley is still alive. Tough to reveal the body if you never killed anyone. If defense counsel believes the “Caley is still alive” strategy will play at trial they better wake up and smell the cyanide.

There will be many interesting “live” trials before January 5, 2009, assuming that there will even be a trial for Casey Anthony……………..

Sadly, if Cindy hadn’t talked Casey out of putting Caylee up for adoption, that little baby would be out playing in the sunshine somewhere.

I agree with you Michel. What really is amazing is the fact that only 1 hair from her head remained in the trunk. I think that single hair, its DNA, location and state of decomposition is all any juror needs to know about with or without a body. Imagine driving around for days with your child’s body decaying in the trunk? It’s a horrible, evil thought. And what about George and Cindy Anthony? Some say they may be involved in this. Isn’t there a law against aiding and abetting? After all this time and all this evidence how can they still be in denial?

Michel, does this mean that The Legal Edge will be doing live coverage of this trial?

I agree that it is most likely that Caylee is in a “better place”.
One thing (among the many things) that has always irked me about this case is… if Caylee had been kidnapped, the Anthonys would have no way of knowing she is alive. Right? Yet they INSIST she is alive! IMO They know that Caylee is already gone and they are trying to cut their losses by defending Casey. I do feel sympathy for them…tempered with disgust.
Michel, two things:
1. Little Jacob is really cute!
2. Does TLE have any plans to try and cover this case if it goes to trial?
OK, three things:
3. In the last two days my blog has had a month worth of “hits” looking for Spector coverage…we are
a desperate lot. LOL
