To Tell The Truth

There are so many players involved in the Casey Anthony murder trial. If you have watched any of the coverage at all you'll recognize the following names.

Casey's deceased daughter Caylee, Casey's parents, George and Cynthia, and her brother Lee.

Today was day 41 on Casey's murder trial. A day where over 92,000 bloggers at WFTV.com watched the court proceedings. Roy Kronk, a meter reader for the Orlando area and the man who found Caylee's remains in a wooded area, was scheduled to be on the stand today. He was. Chaney Mason, part of the defense team, tried to discredit Mr. Kronk. The defense claims Mr. Kronk received little Caylee's body from George and stored her body from June through December, 2008, then disposed of her remains in the wooded area.

After the defense questioning, the prosecution asked Roy if he knew George, Cindy, Lee, Casey, or Caylee. Each time he answered 'no'. He's telling the truth and I believe him!

Later in the day George was asked to take the stand for the fifth time. This time he was asked about an alleged affair he had with River Cruz. He denied the affair and I believe him.

After George was Cindy. This was the seventh time Cindy had been in the witness seat. She was asked if she had sent anyone to the area where Caylee was eventually found to video tape someone looking for Caylee's remains. She said no when asked three different times. Each time she lied, in my opinion.

Next was brother Lee taking the witness stand. He was asked if he knew anything about his mother sending someone to video tape the search of Caylee's remains. He stated his mother and he had gotten into a argument about the search and video tapping of the area. Lee was upset because Cindy had someone looking for Caylee's remains, rather than a live Caylee. He stated all of the video tapping was done at her request. In my opinion, Lee is telling the truth.

On the cable channel you can watch Jane Velez Mitchell, Nancy Grace, Dr Drew, Vinnie Politan, In Session and several other shows totally devoted to the Casey Anthony murder trial. I find it odd when you watch the hosts of the shows and their guests, they are describing the latest happenings in the court room and what had taken place for the day, it's a little different than what I had actually seen happened for the day.

Here is a link to a video showing a mad Casey Anthony:

This was after the prosecution and defense team had been at a sidebar with Judge Belvin Perry. To me, it looks as if Casey is mad at her lead attorney, Jose Baez and is telling Chaney Mason what she thinks of what just happened at the sidebar. As Baez turns around to look at Casey, she acts like a child who's been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She doesn't want Baez seeing her giving him hell and is trying to conceal her anger. Once he turns around, she is talking in Mason's ear about what happened. To hear the media tell it, she realizes the cameras are on her and she is changing her tune. Again, I think they are wrong.

Nancy Grace stated it was Casey who demanded from her attorneys they test her to see if she is competent to stand trial, when actually it was the defense team who asked the court to have her tested. Again the media was wrong.

I'm only one of over 90,000 bloggers and 2.5 million hits on a website, waiting to see if the truth will ever be told.

When you raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God, I'd hate to be the one not telling the truth!

Sadly, no one, other than Casey, will know what truly happened to her little 2-year old Caylee Marie Anthony on a hot summer day in June 2008.

Will Casey take the stand and swear to tell the truth, or won't she?

Anticipation/Disappointment

More of the Casey Anthony trial...

Today was the 31st day of the trial, including jury selection.

Caylee Marie Anthony was missing for 31 days before her grandmother called 911 to report her missing.

Today, June 16, (2008) is the last day anyone seen Caylee alive.

Today, June 16, (2011) is the first day the attorneys have started presenting their case to the jury in defense of Casey.

Mounds of evidence have been compiled and presented to the jury by the State. Over 300 items have been entered into evidence. Over 50 individuals, friends, family, police, FBI agents, crime scene investigators, etc., have testified for the State.

Wednesday was a day of anticipation. The opening day for the defense. What a day of disappointment! Jose Baez, lead attorney for the defense, was windy and boring. One journalist made a comment that Judge Belvin Perry was going to have to ask the jurors what type of eggnog they liked, because at the pace the defense was going, they'd be there till Christmas!!

Today at 3PM, balloons were released in memory of Caylee Marie. As the balloons floated up into the sky, people outside the courthouse in Orlando, Florida cried.

I seriously wonder how some of these people involved with this case sleep at night?

Day 32 tomorrow!

Day 30 About To Start!

What have you been doing for the past 30 days? I've been keeping up-to-date with the Casey Anthony trial in Orlando, Florida. For those of you out of the loop, Casey is the mother accused of killing her 2-year old daughter, Caylee Marie in 2008. For 31 days Casey told no one about her missing daughter. It wasn't until Casey's mother Cindy finally found Casey and started asking questions that Casey admitted she had not seen her daughter Caylee for a month!

The above link will give you a complete update on the case from day one.

Day 30, which is today, finds the State of Florida about to wrap up the case against Ms. Anthony. I feel it's too soon. There is so much information they have not shared with the jury, but hopefully what they have shared will be enough to convict Casey of this horrible crime.

I took a break from watching the case this past Saturday. (day 27) The previous night I had a dream during the night I was out searching for Caylee's body. I was going through the woods, looking for any signs of the little 2-year old. About the time I spotted what appeared to be Caylee, my dream shifted to the courtroom. I was seated in the witness seat answering questions from Jeff Ashton! My dream sifted again as Jose Baez, lead attorney for the defense, started to question me. Along with the other jurors, I was seated in the jury listening to the testimony of a expert witness!

I never got to complete my dream because I was startled by the alarm going off. I thought after my restless night of dreaming about this case, I'd better take a day away from it, but little did I know, I was going to get a break on Monday also. Yesterday the State needed to quit early since their next witness would not be coming to Florida till this afternoon.

I wish it was 1:00PM and Judge Belvin Perry was bringing in the jury! I've had my 'break' and I'm ready to get back to hearing this case against Ms. Anthony! I'll be sure to post when the trial is over and let you know the outcome...unless I dream it first!

What Is It?

This morning started out early then quickly got interesting. Patrick's class hosted a co-ed volleyball tournament today. We had a great group of athletes to compete throughout the morning and into the afternoon.

As normal, I was up early and finishing up on some last minute paper work. Once I got that done, I was off to the volleyball court. Of course, Patrick had to drive separate from me, since he would be staying longer or leaving early than I planned.

As I was getting set up for the day, I hear a loud knock at the door and my phone rings. Patrick is on the other end all excited telling me he had found an albino creature. I laughed and told him I would be right there...

This is what I found when I opened the door:



I'm not sure it's an albino, but it was quite interesting!

All I Can Do Is Smile

Yes, I know. This has the same title as my previous blog post. There is reason behind it.

My favorite brother...yes, I know...I have TWO brothers. I can call ONE of them my favorite...cause my other brother doesn't have the internet! haha!

Anyway, I had to laugh this week when my brother Guy called me and told me I almost had the lyrics to one of his favorite songs as my blog title. I never thought of it at the time, and probably would have never realized it, unless he would have pointed it out to me.

Here we go...

All I Can Do Is Smile

I absolutely love spring sports. Baseball, softball, track, and golf. Don't get me wrong...I like volleyball and basketball too, but it's just something about the outdoors in the spring that makes the sports more enjoyable.

Sadly, the spring sports for my family ended Friday. The golf team traveled to Otis Park to play in their sectional. This was my second time there and it was still as beautiful as the first time.



The team started out on hole 10 at 8a.m. and played through hole 18, then tee'd off on hole 1 a little after 10a.m. to complete their 18 holes for the day. The weather was beautiful with almost perfect temperature.

What was really working good was Patrick's shots. He finished the back 9 holes and set a new school record with a score of 40, breaking the old school record of 42. The news spread like wildfire and everyone was congratulating Patrick as he made his way to the next 9 holes. I quickly found out if he could tally a 56 on the second 9, he'd break the record for 18 holes.

He had just scored a 40, surely he could do 9 more holes in less than 56 hits. Well, YES he did! Patrick ended up hitting 47 on the front 9, for a total of 87...a school record for 18 holes!






Patrick had a nice young man from Eastern Greene who was his with him all morning and most of the afternoon. His name was Landon. Hopefully we will get to see him and his mother again next spring!



It seems just like yesterday our spring sports consisted of coaching Patrick in pee-wee league baseball. My, my, where has the time gone??

Congratulations son, I'm extremely proud of the young man you have become.
