The State selected the right person to deliver this message. <br /><br />I wonder what the State's tactical thought process was on selecting Atty. Ashton?<br /><br />Thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-76429520326448354072009-12-17T09:49:53.952-08:002009-12-17T09:49:53.952-08:00I don't know that they will execute Casey Anth...I don't know that they will execute Casey Anthony. Personally, I don't care if she lives or dies. If she is found guilty of murdering Caylee, she will pay with her life either way. She cries for herself and no one else. My sadness is for Caylee.

Ashton is brilliant! Finally, someone who says it like it is to the Anthony's faces. For a while I've wondered if Cindy and George ever thought that the last person Caylee saw was that of her mother (won't say more as it's clear what happened). By the way, what's with Lyon belittling circumstantial evidence? As if it's meaningless, instead of extremely important.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418551036491989541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-28028797407096905692009-12-14T17:37:51.297-08:002009-12-14T17:37:51.297-08:00I watched Casey carefully when the prosecutor was ...I watched Casey carefully when the prosecutor was talking. Funny, how the tears came only after Baez leaned over and whispered very briefly in her ear. What could he have said? Perhaps "show some tears to the judge" at which point, Casey let the flood loose. I think those tears were grandstanding and meant to sway the judge. Casey has aged quite a bit in prison. Her dabbing of the eyes (somewhat belatedly) and oh so gentle dabbing at the nose...while patting her hair to make sure it was in place all seemed manufactured. I don't think this girl has any emotion that isn't centered around "I" or "me".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-21194842852861654792009-12-14T10:42:49.883-08:002009-12-14T10:42:49.883-08:00This morning, I glanced at In Session for a few mi...This morning, I glanced at In Session for a few minutes.

It was an awesome and totally pertinent presentation. I feel that the judge will not remove the death penalty. <br /><br />As for removal of video and audio taping of visitors, that will not go through either. What is fair for one is fair for all. It's not the jail's fault that the A's and Casey can't carry on a simple conversation.<br /><br />I won't go on, but thank you for this really well written covering!!
