Casey Anthony Trial: Another Ordinary Person's Opinion

This probably seems like a very minor thing to find disturbing about the Casey Anthony trial. There are so many different things that are chilling and horrifying about the whole horrible case. Of course the death and most likely murder of that beautiful, innocent little toddler, Caylee Anthony is heartbreaking. I cannot imagine in my worst nightmares what the family has gone through, is going through and will forever go through, with the death and murder of little Caylee.

Not to mention having their daughter Casey facing possibly death row, well it is beyond anything I can comprehend. I am very disappointed that Casey is not going to testify. Me and a million other people that is. I think that most of us were waiting to watch it, not being able to imagine how she could possibly get away with not testifying. How can they explain their defense without her testifying? Well they can't. I still haven't been able to figure out how OJ was able to walk away a free man after murdering his wife. I digress.

It was like watching a horror movie to see Casey smile and flirt inappropriately. It was chilling to see her sit stone-faced as her father testified, breaking down as he talked about his unspeakable grief. It was perplexing to see her lose control over her brother's testimony about not being included in her pregnancy and not being invited to the baby shower? Excuse me? When does any man get invited to a baby shower. It was pretty obvious that whenever Casey lost control or showed emotion it was because of her own self-pity and indignation over the mean, hateful things that were being said about her.

Today when the alleged mistress of George Anthony testified, I found it puzzling that Casey seemed to be angry with her too. I then realized that it may have annoyed her not that the mistress said that her father said that he thought it was an accident that snowballed out of control, but that he was not included in this accident. That backfired when it was read in context. He said that he believed that it was an accident, not a murder. She should have been thankful that he couldn't believe that his daughter murdered her own child.

I know I am digressing once again. Before I get off track again, I have to say that one of the most chilling things that I heard, and Lord knows there were many; I think that we almost get desensitized to it, was the memorial service for little Caylee. Was I the only one who thought that it was extremely odd that Lee, brother to Casey referred to Caylee as CMA? Who would call a little child by their initials? It was all about his devotion, love and passion for his little niece? Or was it? No I don't think so. I think it was a veiled support for his twisted, sick, evil sister.

What else was strange was that his mother and father, flanked him on both sides, supporting his weird CMA chants. Maybe I am just adding more weirdness to the whole mystery but I think that that was really strange. I will go out on a limb here and say that I don't think that it is far-fetched to say that I am not so sure that there was not sexual abuse in the family. I will say that I like George the best. I found him the most believable next to Roy Kronk, which may say more about my own family of origin dysfunction than about them.

I think that Cindy was very protective of Casey, understandably so. I do believe that she lied to protect her from getting the death penalty. I can't say I wouldn't do the same. I think that Cindy and George really spoiled her rotten. That does not excuse Casey of drugging murdering or accidently killing her precious child. I still think the searches for chloroform, neck breaking and all the other creepy searches were not done by Cindy.

I can also understand it if George did reach out for comfort from a mistress and lying about it. The sad thing is that it makes his testimony less credible. I still believe him though about not being involved in an "accidental drowning." I believe that he was in denial when he smelled a decomposing body in Casey's car. I believe that by allowing himself to be vulnerable on the witness stand, that he made a lot of points with the state.

I don't want to see Casey get the death penalty, not for her, but for her family. There is no way that there can ever be justice for little precious Caylee, but letting her evil, vile, mother (who does not deserve that title) free would be an abomination. I can only imagine her having another child to torture and murder because it would prevent her from having her freedom to participate in wet t-shirt contests and party to her heart and soul's content. But then does she even have a soul?
