As I watch the raw video footage of the K9 expert witness (aka police officer), Casey Anthony's lead defense attorney, Jose Baez, asks the officer if he noted in his training logs that the K9 dog was ever trained using "double blind" methods. Double blind meaning that both the officer AND the K9 dog were uneducated as to where the training cadaver items were buried. Officer's answer is No. Reason, the officer continued, is that it's generally accepted that 1) the K9 NEVER knows where the hidden cadaver objects are, and 2) the officer usually doesn't know either. But that isn't good enough for Baez. He's trying to get us to believe that if it's not written down, in the officer's training log, as being "double blind", it should be thrown out.
Jose: "No documentary evidence that you conducted double blind testing on the dog other than your memory... My question to you, it's fair to say that the integrity of these training logs are critical..."
Officer responds that there were witnesses, other officers, trainers, an Andy Redmond (head trainer), instructors that he didn't personally "queue" a dog to find cadaver sites during these K9 tests.
For petes sakes. Friggin' friggin'.. Geezus! Jose Baez's line of questioning gives me such a headache! You know, I try to have an open mind. As I listen to these testimonies, I start off believing nothing. After about 20 minutes, my head is starting to ache. Baez has been jumping all over the place...talking about training logs in 2008, then 2005, then back to swearing to 2008 (but eliminating 2 instances that he didn't wanna talk about, cuz it was incriminating for Casey). I thought I was the only one with a mooshed up brain until the officer told Baez that he was jumping all over the place and that his questioning was confusing.
I say to Jose... STOP THE MADNESS! Get a grip! Otherwise, my reactions are going to be the jurors reactions... pissed off with a headache.
Trial of the Decade...Casey Anthony on trial for the murder of her 2 1/2 year old daughter, Caylee Anthony. Caylee went missing for over 30 days before Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, called police to report the child missing (Casey never did). Casey said a phantom "nanny" stole Caylee and Casey "tried to find Caylee" by going dancing in bars, watching movies w/her boyfriend...

Casey Anthony Defense Witnesses
I listened to a news story that talked about some defense witnesses for Casey Anthony. They included some biologists/scientists who claim to refute the prosecution's scientific evidence, such as the cadaver dogs "hitting" on areas where young Caylee Anthony's body was probably placed (in Casey's car trunk & Casey's parents' backyard area near Caylee's playhouse). There's also some defense expert who is trying to also refute the timeline of when Caylee's body was placed in the swamp area near Casey's home.
Law experts say that this is common, for the defense team to find their own experts, so that the prosecution's experts' testimonies will become questionable.
It all just gives me a headache. I say "lock up Casey Anthony & throw away the key". I'm not too keen on the death penalty for her...yet. I may change my mind once I hear more from the prosecution during trial.

Pretrial Hearings
On Friday, March 4, 2011, we saw the conclusion of three days worth of testimonies from people critical to the Casey Anthony case. These people included Casey's parents, Cindy and George Anthony, Casey's brother, Lee Anthony and the lead detective, Yuri Melich. A few other testimonies were also taken, but these were the critical ones.
After watching these testimonies, I'm starting to see how each side is going to work. The prosecution appears to be all about getting to the truth, and the defense is all about throwing out the truth... I mean evidence.
What has shocked me is how police never read Casey her Miranda rights. Even at the time of her formal arrest (the 1st arrest for Child endangerment & 4 Counts of lying to police. I don't know about the 2nd arrest yet). I really hope there's a good reason for this. Even more so, I hope that the judge does not throw out key evidence because of this. Or if he does, that the crucial evidence will be able to be entered into the trial for the jury to hear through a different way.
I'm sorry, but it looks like Casey Anthony killed her cute little daughter Caylee, and then partied like a wild single chick right afterwards. Drinking & dancing at bars, playing house w/her new boyfriend, watching movies, getting a new tattoo reflecting her now Beautiful Life (Bella Vita), all the while remaining mum about her missing daughter (actually she was telling everyone that her missing daughter was find & with her nanny). Now, her defense lawyers, Jose Baez & Cheney Mason, is trying to get all the evidence that shows her actions of doing this, thrown out. I know that's his job, but it just pisses me off.
