Her behavior that is being shown is consistent with Anit-Social Personality disorder, complete with lies, lack of remorse and impulsiveness. If they looked back at her school records, they may have saw some conduct issues, and mental health experts could testify that this is consistent with anti-social personality disorder. Before you say that can't use consistent, that is exactly what the forensic evidience will say over and over "is consistent with"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-22800251882828337652011-04-24T12:11:39.026-07:002011-04-24T12:11:39.026-07:00::: (\_(\ …*…*…*…*…*…*…*…*…*…*…*…*

KC approved of and posted the pics for all to see, including the pic with Caylee Marie, who has a “mark” under the left eye (wearing the Big Trouble shirt). This is not the only pic of Caylee Marie with a “mark.” There is another pic of Caylee and KC sitting on the floor looking at RM’s cell phone and Caylee has a similar “mark” under her right eye. KC approved that one too! <br /><br />Why ‘airbush’'crop?' KC didn’t!<br /><br />The "mark" resembles a cig. type burn.

They are very important to the prosecution, to be sure.<br /><br />As to the pictures of Caylee with and without the bruises, I don't remember the exact dates that they were taken, but I doubt they were on back-to-back days. <br /><br />We'll have to wait for the trial for the most important parts that you mentioned.ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-42009934999004967062011-04-20T23:40:09.721-07:002011-04-20T23:40:09.721-07:00Sprocket, Thank you for all your work!

(Prior to Caylee's missing) <br />The testimony of Tony Lazzaro and Ricardo Morales.. Jesse will be next. <br />The photo mentioned by Judge Perry. The one taken in Ricardo's apartment. Caylee wearing the same shirt her remains were found in. Caylee with the bruise under her eye. <br /><br />There is a sequence of those photos. I wonder if they will allow the entire sequence of the photos? Or will it be the photo with the bruise only. <br />Ricardo under oath stated that Caylee ran into a table. That is how she bruised her cheek. I found the sequence of photo's on Humble Opinions Blog. She to follow the case since day one. <br /><br />If you look at the photo's, it appears that Casey/Caylee spent the night at Ricardo's. Possibly a party from the night before, all the red plastic cups scattered around. Look at Caylee's hair, it is mussed up, as if she had just woke up. Where did Caylee sleep that night? :( with what it appears to be a party the night before.<br /><br />Her pants are changed. She is wearing gray pants prior to the bruise. Black pants after. She Casey " Cut" Caylee's Hair. Her bangs are much shorter, with the bruise under her eye. Why would Casey cut Caylee's hair at Ricardo's? Was it that she was to return to her parents house, and didn't want to bring Caylee home looking " not like Caylee, hair/bangs over grown ". <br />I cannot figure out why Casey would cut Caylee's hair at Ricardo's apartment. <br />Link to Photos: <br />http://humbleopinionforum.net/caylee/<br /><br />Justice for CayleeVitaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-57519579543497541482011-04-20T17:20:26.671-07:002011-04-20T17:20:26.671-07:00A wonderful article!

I too would love to know what the little talk was about with Casey and all the lawyers. I am guessing you are right that she wants the "experts" to explain her behavior without testifying herself. She HAS ALWAYS relied on everyone else to get her out of the messes she creates and her parents have done just that. Very sad! This young lady needs to start realizing she is in a whole mess of trouble and it isn't going away.sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372975265112892344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-83888569079885430222011-04-19T11:17:45.400-07:002011-04-19T11:17:45.400-07:00Sprocket,

My best guess would be that Casey was informed by the judge personally that for any of this mental health crap that she has told them to come into trial, she would have to take the stand and say it herself. It can't come in through a third party.<br /><br />"Maybe" the Judge wanted to know point blank, before hand if Casey was going to take the stand.

Do visit more often. <br /><br />Donchais, it's not only Baez that is sinking, it's the whole defense ship! We'll know by Friday Judge Perry's decisions on the science motions. That should nail down what will be included in the trial.<br /><br />maxineme, I never even considered the possibility that Baez and Mason might have met to discuss their options. I have a strong feeling you could be right. The judge did carry on a rather long side-bar with all the attorneys prior to that. He must have outlined the options available to the defense. Come to think of it, Mason and Baez returned before the judge did.<br /><br />FRG, most of what I know about hearsay comes from watching a lot of trials. I know that there are exceptions to the hearsay rules, and there are many. Generally, statements made by the defendant are allowed as well as statements which do not go to the facts, but to prove, for example, the state of mind of the person who made the statement to the witness.<br /><br />In this case, the experts would have been making statements about the defendant which are exculpatory. Legally, they could only make statement which go against the best interests of the defendant. In essence, they would be testifying in place of Casey. For that to happen, she would have to take the stand and testify for herself.<br /><br />I'm going to have to do more reading on the topic!<br /><br />The state will only be allowed to say that Casey lied within a specific period of time. Her "friends" can also testify about the lies that they told her.<br /><br />Fortunately, Casey not only lied to her friends in person, she also lied in her IM's and text messages, especially to Amy.ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-62953368539216174402011-04-16T16:58:44.789-07:002011-04-16T16:58:44.789-07:00Ritanita,
Thank you for saving me to have to watc...Ritanita,<br /><br />Thank you for saving me to have to watch the hearing! <br /><br />Your article is fantastic!<br /><br />So, from my understanding you can't bring any expert to testify without having the opposite side to rebut their assertions? But what about the penalty phase? My guess is that the mental health experts were deposed by the Prosecutors, but what what the mental health expert for the State, do they have one for the penalty phase as well? Are my assertions correct?<br /><br />I have another question... So, when is hearsay what KC told to a person? Or is it hearsay like in the case of the mental health experts defense wanted to use a sort of diagnosis of KC without having anybody to confirm what KC told was the truth? Or was it the time frame before the crime was committed? Did you notice I am a bit, well, not a bit a lot confused? LOL<br /><br />I agree with you that JB wants to use some coping mechanism but that would fit into a mental diagnosis, wouldn't it? Besides, if the State's expert had their expert to examine KC, they could diagnose KC as a sociopath, couldn't they? Is that the reason why JB withdrew his mental health experts? Too risky huh? I bet Mr. Ashton was really excited about it! <br /><br />So far my head is spinning! <br /><br />Okay, so let's see JB is saying KC was under stress because Zenaida took her daughter which is a lie, but she lied because she wanted to create a virtual reality and she put on a happy face and went partying, getting tattoo, stole Amy's money and she did that because of her way of coping. Okay, so where is the part of coping where she started searching for Caylee, or it didn't occur to her Caylee could be alive? Was Caylee taken by Chewbacca? LOL<br /><br />This is just simple, she partied like there was no tomorrow because there was no more Caylee, her daughter was a burden for her. <br /><br />By the way, how far will Prosecutors be allowed to go back in time to prove KC was a liar? Hopefully until the time she had no jobs which it was almost two years before Caylee was killed, IIRC.<br /><br />What about the money stolen from Amy, will prosecutors be able to use that information too? <br /><br />At least it seems HHJP is making this case to move into trial as he has planned. <br /><br />Thank you once more!FRGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-15821707865535910442011-04-16T15:41:31.936-07:002011-04-16T15:41:31.936-07:00Great article and recap.. thanks..

It looked to me like the judge exited the same way he always does for a recess.. So,I am doubting that the judge went into the anteroom with the defense team...
