The country was stunned months ago to hear that young Florida mom Casey Anthony was charged with killing her own two-year-old daughter, Caylee, after she failed to report her missing for a whole month. The details of the case — which included Internet searches of "neck breaking" and chloroform, and reports of decaying-body smell in the trunk of 23-year-old Anthony’s car — seemed just too horrific, utterly incomprehensible.
Anthony is facing the death penalty if convicted, and her family has brought in a well-known death-penalty lawyer to plead her case. More than 200 pages of transcripts from interviews with jail officials in the case were filed with the court this week.
Now, the private investigator working for Anthony’s family, Dominic Casey, is refusing to turn over all of his cell-phone records, despite a court order to do so, reports Local6.com. PI Casey claims Anthony’s attorney told him not to call 9-1-1 if he discovered little Caylee’s body in the East Orange County woods.
Meanwhile, Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy, are being investigated after they allegedly chased a car of women who had visited the scene where Caylee’s remains were found. And the 2003 high-school yearbook, which features pictures of Anthony, was sold for $500 on eBay.com. Who would pay that much for a plain old yearbook, you may ask? We don’t know, but we know it is a female. The woman told The Orlando Sentinel that she buys yearbooks "randomly" at auctions and has, in the past, sold those featuring famous names and faces for some good cash. Smart business or sick opportunist idea?

Isn’t the refusal to turn over evidence obstruction of justice?
While I think it’s all well and good that Anthony has an excellent attorney, it seems to me that far too many trials are more about attorneys playing a game, using the laws as gameboard rules in order to get their killer clients off the hook because of some minor infraction caused by the prosecution. That’s one part of "justice" that further victimizes the victims and rewards the accused for bad behavior.
I have to wonder just how involved the grandparents were in helping to conceal what I believe to be their granddaughter’s murder by their daughter.
I guess I was reared in a home that emphasized personal responsibility. My sister and I were taught from a young age, "if you don’t want to be a mother either abstain or use birth control. If you don’t: then accept the consequences of motherhood." We are raising a generation of "ME FIRST" people.
What she did was monsterous but when someone says they are not ready to be a parent people shouldn’t push them into it. I guess this means that Casey’s parents are responsible for Caylee’s death since she was "pushed" her into giving birth to the child she conceived. Perhaps she should have been "pushed" into adoption? Before you get me wrong, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FORCING ANYONE INTO ANYTHING. I am personally opposed to abortion, but I absolutely support choice. But given that Casey had little or no respect for her "body" as she drank and caroused around, I have a hard time with respecting her rights.
You should have ended with "What she did was monsterous", because there is no "but". This woman was not forced to sleep with some guy because her parents made her. This isn’t the 50’s. There was no gun to her head. She and her partner, were careless and ignorant for not thinking about birth control. I hope that jury sees her for the evil person she is and for what she did to this poor inncocent child, and give her the death penalty.
There is no mercy…she knew what she was doing. Why didn’t she just hand the kid over to her parents or Social Services??? We all have options. She obviously is too mind-numbingly stupid to understand that concept..and anyone THAT stupid deserves to be on Death Row.
I agree with you Debbie…how stupid to not use birth control AND insist on a sexual partner using a condom. She is a spoiled, entitiled, lying, narcissist.
You just can’t fix stupid….
I hope all guilty parties are brought to justice…How can a 2 year old fight back?
Hi, LL,
How are you doing? I’ve really been super busy this week, but I did manage to squeak in a comment or two. It just feels like so few new articles/topics have been included lately.
I sure hope the Anthony case doesn’t turn into an OJ fiasco. That trial, I think, was one of the serious disgraces in our legal system. Hopefully the judge sitting on the Anthony trial will be smarter. But given the defense attorney’s reputation, I think it’s possible that the mother will get off or be given a much lighter sentence. [I hope I’m wrong.]
Someone made a comment about raising children with a strong sense of entitlement and no understanding of consequence. Isn’t that the truth?
