Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


The one conversation she had with Lee that has me ruminating is when he asked her why she wouldn't let her mother see Caylee (this is when she had been missing for a while). She responded, "Because maybe I'm a spiteful b*tch".

Now there's the vindictive narcissist in all her glory. She does something absolutely sinister, without conscience, something completely related to herself and what she wants and blames whatever it is she feels her mother did to her (or didn't do for her) for her choices. It's payback time. The vindictive N will always hold onto to imagined grievances for however long it suits them to do it and then use those grievances to excuse their behavior. She has convinced herself that her mother created this "spite". She made her do it. That's the N's battle cry. If push comes to shove and they get cornered, the response is usually along the lines of "Well, yes, I did it, but you see I had no choice because of x, y, and z." Fault and retribution enter in. She had to pay her back. Spite is what she deserved. It's so sick and twisted. Except that isn't why she did it at all. It's just a deluded way to excuse the choice she made.

This is an entry from Casey Anthony's diary. It's dated June 21, 2008, shortly after the murder of Caylee.

"I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgment & know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see. This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow. I've made new friends that I really like. I've surrounded myself with good people - I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change."




Georgia Belle is so right---WHO WRITES SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN THEIR CHILD IS MISSING. How in the world can she say she is the "happiest" she has been in a long time. It staggers the imagination.

It is unbelievable. A good parent, like GB said, is frantic if their child is not in their view for 20 seconds in a store. No normal parent needs to be told about the absolute feeling of hysteria if there is even the hint of something out of the ordinary with your child. A normal parent would put their own life on the line with not a second thought to save or help their child.

Which leads me to George Anthony---he said in testimony that he loved Casey and would do ANYTHING for her--as well as he loved Caylee and would do ANYTHING for her as well. Poor man- he is really caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

When he denied, early in testimony, that he had ever sexually abused Casey, and I believe him, it proved, if you ask me, that this whole sex abuse story is a total lie-and that George, even though he would do ANYTHING for his daughter can't do that-he can't lie under oath and protect the person who, I'm sure he knows,killed the precious grand child. Talk about Sophie's Choice.

And let me add--I would rather spend my life in prison or be brought out in front of a firing squad, then have trumped up some fraudulent sex abuse charge to throw my precious daddy under the bus--and didn't Casey in the jailhouse video call her dad her buddy-so sad--to save my own skin. Hideous.

As to motive--while I agree that Casey was very jealous of her daughter--and on Lynn's point of "spite"--yes, Ns are all about spite and ENVY--and also she was angry at her mom----but I think the real compelling motive at that time was her new relationship with Tony Lazzaro. It is no surprise to me that he made some comment about children--I thought maybe he said he didn't want any-but so it seems he said he wanted only boys.

Whatever it was he said, IMO that was the motive for getting Caylee out of the way. It is like that other mother years ago-was it Susan Smith-or something like that---she drowned her two boys in the car in the lake--and then pretended they had been kidnapped by "some black guy"----it was because her boyfriend didn't want kids.

EVIL-EVIL-EVIL.

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


A comment from what I saw went on in court today on t.v. tonight. Personally, I think she was faking the "sickness". At one point, she was dry heaving, and she looked up for a second to see if the jury was looking at her. At that moment, she didn't look sick at all.

Did anyone else notice this?

Thanks,
Had

Had,

The same thought crossed my mind. Did you see that she had 5-6 water bottles in front of her? Who drinks that much water while sitting? I think she was guzzling water to make herself vomit. It didn't work and she had to "fake" the heaves. The problem is that she has no idea what it really feels like to suffer remorse, sorrow, or loss so she couldn't arrange her facial expression to match her so-called illness. She behaves just like the criminal N/abuser/monster in my life. Lot's of faking to garner sympathy from spectators in court but facial expression that always seems to say - "Is this working?" or "Are they buying it?"

I'll never believe she was sick from the emotions evoked by the evidence. She may have managed to make herself physically sick by over-consumption of water - called water intoxication.

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


did anyone see cindy whisper to casey when she walked by after her testimony today "i love U" and casey looked at her coldly & ignored her.......like it was ALL cindy's fault for her being there. was that a discard or what?
they need to explore that r/s there.

there needs to be an investigation of her childhood. anyone who steals a wallet from her friend and chgs up at a store is not right and MUST have done the ssame type of things as a child.
and what about the shovel? she asked the neighbor for one. this neighbor said she never came over before that time?
the tatoo thing was bad enough. but i would have liked them to ask the guy more questions about what she was saying on her cell conversation.
what a NP..

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


Seeing Cindy whisper "I love you" to Casey reminded me of how I would say the same thing to the xnph, meaning it- even though he was having fun torturing me emotionally and mentally. The same type of dynamic.

And Casey in all her pompous glory on her imagined lily white throne, played the victim of her mother, and would not even give the poor woman the satisfaction of a glance. It is all about Casey. She is playing the victim role to it's hilt. There are no feelings or any empathy there for what she has put her parents through.

I totally get though how her mother must feel, and how she is being empathetic to her daughter, even though her daughter killed her grandaughter. If she had not been beaten down all these years having a NP daughter, she may have been totally pissed off, and not looked at her, however, it looked pretty codependent to me as she tried one last time to let her daughter know she still loved her in spite of what she did to all of them.

It will be interesting to see how the defense is going to handle the rest. I doubt they will put her on the stand, however you never know.

Hugs,
Had

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


DoneDeal,

I was interested in her childhood, too...listened to some old FBI interviews from her school friends and neighborhood pals and they said she had been lying and concocting tall tales since teen years.
They said she was likeable enough but she had a motor mouth and could talk all day.
She was only 1/2 credit shy of graduating high school but gave up for some reason and let her mom plan a party for her.

Cindy doesn't seem like the kind of person afraid to cross anyone but Casey had her snowballed with all these lies. It's weird because her friends saw through her.
Casey was the entitled one at home and plenty of dancing around the eggshells was done.
Guess she was princess until baby was born.

JMHO, I think she was planning to knock off her parents due her internet searches that included ruptured spleen, crushing chest injury, defense weapons. She had told her pal, Amy, they would soon have the house to move into as her folks were 'divorcing'.
Another lie. Some of the news anchors liken her to the case of the Menendez brothers who killed both their parents.

Typical N/P...now she writes that she is a celebrity..just what she always wanted, huh?

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial




It is surprising to me that many of the personalities/t.v shrinks seem to be having a hard time "wrapping their heads" around this kind of personality. I particularly was annoyed by the lawyer who herself had been sexually abused by her father who claimed that she thought Casey showed the classic signs of this abuse.

You know what-I don't believe she was abused but even if she was, it was no excuse. And anyway, Casey is not some wounded, traumatized victim--she is an aggressive, cold schemer and plotter--look at how she bullies her family on those jailhouse videos--hardly a frightened child.

 So maybe they should try "wrapping their heads" around the fact that---

She drove around for three or four days with the decomposing body of her little daughter in the trunk of her car. The callousness is mind boggling.

She went out and got a "Bella Vita" tattoo on her shoulder followed by a pizza party celebration--after Caylee went missing.

And we know all about the hot body contest, the boyfriend, the shopping, the lies, lies, lies, and more lies. The lies to the police, the lies to her parents, the lies to her brother, the lies to everyone-and how she clung to her story of the nanny Zanny and all the other fraudulent and crazy stories of friends, people, activities that were pure fiction and that tripped effortlessly off her tongue.

Maybe "wrapping their head" around the little heart-shaped sticker outline on the duct tape--and the mentality that puts that there-what kind of a mentality---hint: it is not love. It is a kind of "signature" on her "work" put there with the sense of pride and ownership that a Picasso signs their work.

And lastly, maybe they can "wrap their heads" around the fact that the duct tape on the little girls body was not just a wide piece placed over mouth and nose--that is bad enough---no it was

WRAPPED AROUND HER HEAD SEVERAL TIMES.

Casey Anthony is an evil, self-obsessed, selfish, bullying, aggressive, cold and callous sociopath and I hope they lock her up and throw away the key. Don't think if she gets off that she will not be dangerous to someone else down the road.

Re: The Casey Anthony Trial


I agree WarKittens. I don't get the "I can't wrap my head around this" bit. I mean, these people are professionals, so they claim. If they have done any real work at all with disordered people they would know that this type of behavior is the norm with certain disorders. I am getting tired of the whining phrase myself.

Nearing,
I bet you are right that she was planning to knock off her parents. They are lucky that this all came down before she staged an accident or an intruder coming into the house killing them in a robbery. It does fit her. Great point, I had never thought of that. I will try to call into Nancy Grace tonight about it.

Hugs,
Had

Had,

Good Luck on calling Nancy Grace!! I'll be watching her show, as the defense starts tomorrow.

I do think her parents are darned lucky she didn't knock them off first. She wanted the house and any monies in their savings.

Have you caught her jerking their chain with the jail video where she says "Wow, yes your new butterfly T-shirts! Stand up and let me see them. Ah yes, it says bring Caylee home"
...she's a piece of work alright.
