Casey Anthony leaves the Orange County Jail after she was acquitted of murdering her daughter Caylee Anthony on July 17, 2011 in Orlando, Florida.
Two depositions from psychiatrists who evaluated Casey Anthony before she went on trial for murder were unsealed Wednesday, revealing more details about sexual abuse that Anthony's lawyer alleged she endured as a child and her claim that her young daughter accidentally drowned.
Anthony's defense attorney shocked the courtroom when he told jurors in his opening statement that 2-year-old Caylee, who had been missing for more than a month before her disappearance was reported to police, had drowned in the family's swimming pool in 2008. Lawyer Jose Baez also claimed Casey Anthony was sexually abused by her father, George Anthony, growing up.
George Anthony denied the allegations, which were not substantiated at trial. But in their depositions, Drs. Jeffrey Danziger and William Weitz discussed Casey's feelings toward her father as well as the most recent version of her story of what happened to her daughter.
The Orlando Sun-Sentinel, which requested the depositions be unsealed, reported Wednesday that Weitz said Anthony felt George "was a threat to her daughter, based on what had happened to her and that would make her uncomfortable." She felt "very comfortable" leaving Caylee with her mother, she said.
Weitz said during his deposition that Anthony told him her father had sexually abused her when she was a child, "basically, the age range, from eight to 12," reported the Sun-Sentinel.
"She described physical touching. She described physical touching and involvement all the way to sexual intercourse," Weitz said.
Both Weitz and Danziger commented on what they perceived as Anthony's lack of sadness or anger when they met with her, said the Sun-Sentinel. While describing the alleged abuse, Weitz said, Anthony was "presenting it to me in a very cognitive, intellective manner stripped of almost any affect or emotion."
In Danziger's report, he described a meeting with Anthony at the Orange County Jail in July of 2008, when Caylee was still missing: "Mood, good. Reading books, keeping self distracted. Calm, bright affect. No feelings of guilt, not hopeless. Sleeping fine. Appetite okay. Weight stable. Energy okay. Concentration normal. Able to read. And I wrote in there surprisingly cheerful but not manic."
Danziger said she had "as normal a mental status examination as could be," reported Florida's CFNews13.com.
Casey told Danziger that her brother, Lee, also molested her numerous times when she was between the ages of 12 and 15, he said, according to CFNews13.com.
NBC's Mark Potter reports.
In the April 2011 deposition, Danziger told prosecutors he was "deeply troubled" by the allegations because they had not been substantiated, according to The Sun-Sentinel.
"I am very troubled about being a vector by which statements she made may accuse others of crimes past and present. I don't know what to do," Danziger said. "I am just deeply worried that I'm doing the wrong thing."
"I have lost much sleep, lost weight, and I don't know – I want to do the right thing, and I don't know what the right thing to do is except I know we're here in the deposition and my understanding is you're entitled to it, but I feel troubled," Danziger said.
Neither Danziger nor Weitz testified at Anthony's trial, although both were originally listed as defense witnesses before it started in May, said The Sun-Sentinel. The defense later withdrew them as witnesses.
As for Caylee's death, Weitz said, "It is the perception of Casey that her father had something to do with the death of her daughter. It's clear that she believes that George either harmed and/or took the life of [Caylee]."
Caylee's alleged drowning
According to The Sun-Sentinel, Weitz said Casey Anthony told him about the alleged drowning.
"[Anthony] always slept with Caylee and she was highly protective and sensitive to her," Weitz told prosecutors during his deposition, also taken in April. But on "the particular date in question…she was sleeping very hard, she awoke, the father was in the room and Caylee was missing."
"They went to search for her and look around to no avail, and then father brought Caylee to her and she was wet – in his arms. She was wet, and she appeared to be deceased. He then took her, you know, basically, and he took Caylee out of the room from her, and she said she basically lost it at that point in time."
George Anthony then told Casey, "I'll take care of her," and left with Caylee, Weitz said Casey told him.
Even as Casey Anthony described the alleged drowning death of her daughter, she seemed "detached from a lot of her feeling and emotions," he said, adding that she "uses lies as a protective measure. She admits to not always being truthful; that for her, it's a protection."
A jury found Anthony not guilty in the death of Caylee. She was released from jail on July 17; she is currently serving a year of probation in an unrelated check fraud case.

These two are psychiatrists? Really, I would say this woman is a sociopath, why would Caylee Anthoney have duct tape (3 pieces) over her nose and mouth if she drowned?? I do not believe her Dad or brother molested her, her Mom doesn't seem like the type to let something like that go without her raising hell. I think this woman is a pathalogical liar, sociopath and decided she was missing out on too much fun being tied down with a kid.
Keep in mind that jailhouse psychiatrists are at the bottom of the food chain in the profession. They're glorified social workers, working for a low local government wage. They report whatever their superiors want them to report.
It's unspeakable to imagine one's child accusing their parents falsely as she has done and what that has done to them. They will be scarred forever and even though it's untrue will be tarred by this accusation. This is what's despicable about the law. A lawyer representing the defendant can say/do ANYTHING to get their client acquitted or at least the minimum sentence. I think they should be held accountable for their actions and the parents should be able to sue because of false accusations. Insofar as their daughter is concerned...two words.....WRITE OFF! Just try and pretend she was hijacked by mental illness and will never recover.
Dont insult social workers like tht Cygnus_X-1
Blackbird, in case you havent noticed, Anthony was already declared guilty in the court of public opinion long before any pieces of evidence came out. Thank you, Nancy Grace. So, you argue it's dispicable for defense lawyers to get their clients off on lies, supposition, and sideways logic. How do you think the defense lawyers learned those tactics? They were assistant DA's before they went into private practice as defense attorneys. DA's put people to death every day that are innocent. You think they arent twisted too? Everyone needs to remove the blinders and realize that it was the DA who screwed this case majorly, and her defense attorney just jumped through the gaping holes to dismantle the case. A jury could only acquit based on how bad of a presecutorial job was done.
I find it hard to believe that you discount the diagnoses of medical professionals, based on your observation that a woman you never met "her Mom doesn't seem like the type to let something like that go without her raising hell". Just what do you base that belief on? How long have you spent interviewing the family to form that conclusion?
The fact that she was 'cheerful' in prison creeps me out. Regardless of whether it was an accident, negligence on anyone's part, or murder by her dad, she should not be in a good mood when she knows her child recently died and is in a shallow grave in the woods. I don't buy the 'her dad drowned her kid' story either...
But, it is the American Judicial process and as such there was not sufficient, if any evidence, supporting the charges against her. IF:
* The prosecution had looked to charge her w/ manslaughter
* The initial investigation had not been botched
* (Add your favorite IF here, there are many!!)...
She would be behind bars. Currently there are very few (thank goodness) laws pertaining to being a "bad" parent. They are everywhere and I guarantee there is a bad parent in your neighborhood/building. You know one,,, you may be one in someone elses eyes, but you cannot legislate good vs. bad parenting, period. What ever happened was tragic, but the pictured painted is: a very immature young lady, giving birth to a child she has no means to support, including herself. I think that due to age we may someday hear some sort of public mea culpa from Casey but she will not be tried again pertaining to her daughter.
The percentage of child abuse/abduction are astronomically high concerning immediate family members and family friends coming in second. Our legal process is not perfect by any stretch but it is better than those I've seen abroad and just like OJ it worked. Twelve, not 1 or 2, people sat through all the leagl proceedings (not the Enquire or US, People, Time, etc...) and came to a unanimous decision. It may not always be popular but I wish all well that may encounter "a jury of your peers".
Oh, my. The story that keeps on giving. lol
I don't believe one thing the lying monster Casey told the psychological evaluators. She IS PURE EVIL.
I'm actually surprised that the psychiatric eval would be posted/divulged, thought this was sorta priviledged info. Nonetheless, after reading what the psychiatric testified, I am all the more convinced she just may be telling the truth. And, I do believe her saying her brother AND her father molested her. Yes, I do. I recall, seeing a video clip of the trial, where the father was on the stand, the camera for just a second cut to Casey Anthony's face, she was not aware, I could tell, and when her father was asked and denied the allegations of sexual abuse, the JUST A SECOND, Anthony gave a quick intake of air, like a mimi gasp, like one does when a lie has been told (her father, saying no, he had not molested her). Then again, on Dr. Phil (and it seemed Dr. Phil was taken in a bit, my opinion, actually a whole lot) but the wife and husband both on the show and it seemed to me the father was attempting a bit to hard to turn it on Casey Anthony, I could tell by his expression, trying real hard to push opinion against her, was trying a bit too hard and I could TELL, he was not being truthful.
When one lives to my age, 73, you can pick up a whole lot of nuances and people behavior. Those pointing the biggest finger and talking the loudest, a backward glance is warranted. Those who give a long drawn out story (during gossiping as an example) I have always known/found, the person they are really taking about it THEMSELVES. I just do not believe this guy. The mother did seem to be the wisest, stating perhaps after giving birth she (casey) transitioned into schizophrenia as to explain her lying etc., I feel that might well be so. She (the mother) seemed to have it more together than he (father) did for sure. Dr.Phil seemed a bit too anxious and wanted to put it all on Casey. I just feel a bit more is missing.
Go back and read the above text on the psychiatric testimony. When molested, one, does not, I believe get OVER IT, it changes who you are, it changes who you can become, your entire personality, how to function in society etc. My opinion and sticking to it ya all and granted I did not see the entire trial, but the jury heard/saw it all and .........even after her being destroyed in the newspapers ya all.
Amazing that you were able to come to all of your psychological conclusions about Casey having never, ever met her or spoken to her. Wow ... your psychic abilities are awesome! You should start a "900" number ASAP!
addendum to my first post- I just read the Sentinile Newspaper thing, she had been date raped, thus the pregnancy with Kaylee. So 3 traumatic sexual situations in this young woman. I just still feel the father has more to do with it, yes I do.
Okay. I only skimmed this article.........I live in her home state so enough, you know? But local news right now is announcing that she claims she was raped and that's how Casey was conceived. lol
Drama queen.........sociopath.........the list goes on.
Sorry for interrupting if this article has that little bit in it..........
No need to thank me!

"Her Mom doesn't seem like the type....", really? There is a type of woman who would look the other way while her husband sexually abuses her child? Do tell, please, you may save thousands of children from years of abuse at the hands of their fathers. Please share this wonderful insight you have found.
FACT: Children have been sexually abused by their parents for generations.
FACT: This is a crime that is not easily proven years later.
FACT: Sexual assualt and sexual abuse go unreported all the time.
We do NOT know nor can we ever know what happened in that household during those years; everyone of them has reason to lie. The parents to protect themselves if in fact he, the father, did sexually abuse his child. The brother if he did sexually abuse his sister. Casey to try to garner sympathy. They ALL have a reason to lie so none can be taken at their word. But to say it couldn't have happened because the mother isn't the "type" is ignorant as there is no specific type that would or would not tolerate that and it assumes that she knew or had reason to suspect- and some will refuse to see in order to protect themselves.
Sure she was cheerful. She did'nt have a daughter anymore and she knew it!
I'm not saying she is innocent, BUT show me the DNA that convicts her. With the jury finding not guilty, and no DNA that shows she's guilty. I have a hard time with the people letting the media lead them to believe she is guilty. Everybody wants Anthony to be guilty, because the media got upset with what happened, and wanted some one to blame. I'm not God so I don't all, if she is guilty she will burn in Hell. And if she's not guilty she is already living in Hell.
she likes to shake that booty...shake that booty...shake that booty ...i said...shake shake shake...shake shake shake ... shake that booty...
Is Darlene her best friend or is it you Casey portraying Darlene to defend yourself???
darlene-1001631
I am a survivor of incest (father and 2 brothers) and rape and it alters you, your thinking, and your psychological makeup for the rest of your life. I saw his face too and I have very deep suspicion of this man. Some people can be quite perceptive, others wouldn't know it if it slapped them upside the head. This is one reason when someone is caught being a criminal everyone who knew this person espouses how wonderful they were and how they could never do something like that, etc. Because they have no perception and see only what they want to see.
Pah-lease!! DNA???? How are you going to get DNA evidence from a dry-bones case? I guess you're one of these that require a video of the crime to believe it actually happened? There was more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict her. And yes, circumstantial evidence can be just as strong as anything else. The jury in the Scott Peterson case actually used their brains and they had less to go on than in this case. Sometimes you have to connect the dots. Especially in a case where their is nothing but a skeleton. Heck, there have been murder convictions without even finding the body! This jury was a joke and should be ashamed. The real world is not NCIS!
Weitz is talking out of his butt. He makes statements about things of which he has no primary knowledge. Kaylee always slept with Anthony? Really? And he knows this how? Was he present? Although that wouldn't surprise me.
Normal, sane, rational people see through Anthony's lies and manipulations. We know she is a sociopath. There is very strong reason to believe she killed her child.
Why do you even bother to read these articles if you don't believe anything in them is true or could be true?
plain bob, Did they let you out again? :)
nupe...i escaped...
Darlene-- all her latest explanation of being date raped proves is that she is a consummate LIAR! Even a pathological liar who just keeps coming up with excuses,lies.
DanaHS, I hope you never get on a jury. There was far more evidence against Scott Peterson than Casey Anthony. Let's see, Peterson buys a boat. Two weeks later he decides on the spur of the moment to go fishing on Xmas Eve. His pregnant wife is missing the next day. The wife and fetus wash ashore a few months later less than two miles from where he said he was fishing. Laci's hair was found in a pair of pliers on the boat. There were photos of concrete anchors Scott had been making. He disguised himself, had a large amount of cash and a bunch of other things indicating he was trying to flee to Mexico. Within a couple weeks of Laci's disappearance he sold her car, turned the nursery into a storage room and was trying to sell the house like he knew they weren't coming back. And then there was the evidence from his girlfriend. Scott telling her he was spending Xmas alone and a bunch of other stuff.
And what was the evidence against Casey? Oh yeah, she went out partying, she didn't report Cayley missing for a month. And what else? I think that's about it wasn't it? She lied about where she worked. What else was there?
None of that pointed at Casey. It could just as easily been the father murdered or accidentally drowned Cayley. The police and prosecutors did a terrible job. The jury made the only decision they could. And now these records are released from her psych evaluation and it bolsters everything she claimed at the trial. But most people don't care. Their minds were already made up by Nancy Grace a long time ago.
matthewsmommy35, Once again I'm glad we haven't run into each other for awhile. Get out of the house, woman!! I think you're losing it. Wouldn't you just love it if Darlene were Casey? Casey could be anyone here!!
Poor Matthew!
Tom, HA HA. DNA? Are you kidding? Go back to watching CSI. The facts are that most murder convictions are from overwhelming circumstantial evidence. THere could be NO MORE of an amount of circumstantial evidence in this case for a guilty to the very least AGGRAVATED Manslaughter.
Cheerful - How is it possible. It is possible if you are a sociopath AND that she is!
You're teasing, right? Did you follow the trial closely? How many reported smelling human decomposition in Casey's car, including cadaver dogs. Who had motive and opportunity? How was the child wrapped in many articles that came from the Anthony home, like the laundry bag and her bedding? Why did Casey borrow a shovel from her neighbor? Who googles neck breaking? The rare brand of duct tape and Casey's bizarre and unnatural behaviors.
What normal mother who is not a psychopath behaves as Casey while her daughter just happens to be missing for 30 days! Why would she not report her daughter missing, unless she was, gulp, actually hiding something. What normal mother parties and gets tattoos and enjoys shopping sprees while her baby -- just happens to be missing. Lie after lie, after lie. All spell psychopath, and psychos do murder others. More than normal folks!
You solve a murder by adding the varying pieces up to create a whole. Who in their right mind, contrives to make an accident look like a murder? Almost everyone knew, without doubt, who killed this little girl, the vast majority of Americans!
If Jose Baez believes Casey, why hasn't he pursued George or Casey's brother about the child abuse?
Have they been given a lie detector test to see if they are guilty? I sure wish the law would pursue these
issues. Poor little Cayle is dead, but if there is more to the story it should be told.
I wouldn't have Jose Baez represent me on a DUI and I'm not kidding. The guy is a buffoon. Every time I thought he couldn't step in it any worse, he would. I'd think, no, don't ask that.......he'd ask it.
He did not win this case.
The State lost this case by bringing it in the first place. NO EVIDENCE, people!! The state bungled what little evidence there was way before trial ever started and wasted the jury's time and our tax dollars bringing a case to trial that could not be won!!!
Okay? Get over it!
Darlene, you kill me with your "yes, I do", "yes, I do". lol
Cygnus is totally right - I get the same generic reports from the Workers Compensation doctors and their flunkies who examine/test me. They have caused 2 hernias doing PCE's on me because they wouldn't listen to me...I get to have surgery next week on the most recent one, bastards.
L&I flunkies are given orders from the government before exams that are loaded in favor of the State, Casey Anthony is soooo full of it - the only thing that saves me in dealing with L&I is telling the truth. I scourer their denial letters and find the lies then counter with the truth. I've been battling them for 11 years and had 10 operations - 11th coming, you don't get this far unless you have proof and facts...lies would have doomed me long ago.
these feel good story's...don't ya just love 'em...
Does anyone else think this story has been over played one time to many, GIVE it a rest, this is yesterdays new, are these news people that pathetic that they have keep reporting on OLD NEWS ......
Casey Anthony is and will always be a Pathological Liar.
Did anyone hear the remorse in her voice on the tape re: the loss of Caylee?---she was happy, obviously in another world. No tears, just about her Narcisstic self.
A Ring in her nose now. Maybe she is married to the Shrink in Jail---he certainly has a different perspective of a very sick Sociopath--equal to that of Van der Sloot---no guilt feelings, numb, no remorse.
Thank G-d, these young adults are not my "kids"---most parents protect these murderers--what for?
Bad genetic pool.
Roodles, You obviously did not watch he same trial I did.(You were watching NCIS right?) People don't sit in jail for 3 years taking the wrap for murder if it was an accidental drowning. There was plenty of evidence in this case. I do believe the prosecution proved it. Sorry they could not provide you with a play by play video.....the jury wanted this proven beyond a SHADOW of a doubt when it is supposed to be beyond REASONABLE doubt. Is is "possible" she died another way? Sure, ANYTHING is POSSIBLE. But is it "REASONABLE"???? NO! 1+1=2 in my book all day long. Total injustice.
Tom, do you know what DNA even is?
Rick-3608408 they will report on this as long as they get readers and people posting. I have said all along I think the grandfather had something to do with it and I will stick to that. The whole damn family seemed a little odd to me.
People really do need to get a life and stop fixating on this. I know a lot of people will make her RICK when he book hits the shelves, and the movie makes it on TV.
Just reading many of the posts on here tells me why trashy tabloids are alive in raking in the billions. You all eat this shy up like candy.
I'm sure Casey Anthony will send you a 'Thank you' card with the millions you will make for her.
She was found not guilty, case is over and closed. So I am wondering on who needs to see a psychiatrist. Casey Anthony, or the people obsessed and fixated with her.
Everything Casey Anthony says is a lie. When the lie is exposed she just lies again. Nothing she says can be believed.
yupp...cracks a liar's smile...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVtBRO_FxYQ&feature=related
Come on, people. Let's keep it alive. As of this moment, only 262 comments? That's a disgrace. lol
Night, y'all. Keep on, keepin' on. Let's see........how many pages is that? Oh, my. Only 6? And the "story" has been up for 7 hours???
wonder if yodeling...will help...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43B_9LBdx6Y
There is no reason to keep this chick in the news even if she was found guilty. Give it a rest new agencies
I agree w/mt.512899..we need to stop thinking and talking about her. We also need to boycott ANY movie,book, or any type of stories that may come out in the future. DO NOT let her become rich or powerful due to her daughter, Caylee, death. That would be a travesty!!
I agree..DO NOT let this person stay in the news. Also, we need to BOYCOTT all movies, books, or stories that should come out..It all would be just one big lie anyway. Do not give her this attention, in Caylee's name, AMEN.
Well, then do it. And while you're at it stop posting comments too! I did not read the story (I refuse to read yellow journalism), but scrolled to the comments instead. I love reading the venomemous hatred spewed by the commenters. Especially about someone who had their day(s) in court and were pronounced innocent.
You all are so righteously indignant. Well, where is your indignation at the parents of the other 199 children killed by their parents that year. According to statistics an average of 200 children are murdered by their parents every year! Where is your indignation over the 7 year old murdered by decapitation by his father last year? Where is your indignation over the young girl who was deaf, had survived cancer, and had an artificial leg murdered by her stepmother last year?
WHERE IS YOUR INDIGNATION ABOUT ANY CHILD'S MURDER BESIDES CAYLEE ANTHONY?
Hypocrites! Parasites feeding off of the garbage of the world. You are filthy and foul smelling. You also have no right, no right whatsoever to stand as judge and jury over another when the job has already been done and over for a long time. I hope with all my might each and every one of the name callers and sick perverted individuals who consider themselves perfect in God's eyes get a hard rude awakening in the very near future!
I also agree.....stop reporting on her(it). No one needs to know any more about her. Anyone who feels that she is telling the truth or that she didn't kill her child is as sick as she is. There was a horrible miscarriage of justice here. I hope everyone will not watch a movie or read a book that she will profit from. She needs to be ignored for life by all for what she did. I don't even think we should boycott a movie she would profit from, that would give her even more attention. What would send her a message would be that no one attends the movie or no one buys a book that she in any way would profit from. I'm sure there are those who believe in her or are ghouls that would watch a movie or read her book, but hopefully there wouldn't be many. Imagine her humiliation...book sales, zero, movie $$..zero. Her ego is already inflated beyond belief. Enough said.
I also agree. Come on MSNBC quit reporting on this pathetic P.O.S.! She doesn't deserve the the publicity. Surely there are other more news worthy stories out there. JUST STOP!!!
For realist...
Another "Casey" case in SC. 18 month old boy went missing before Thanksgiving. Mother not talking. Blood on blankets in the car. Think she watched the trial on TV? Too much info can lead to bad business down the road. I, for one, am dismayed each time something happens to a defenseless child or person. I think a lot of people focus on this case because of the publicity, not because it's the worst case ever. It gives them an opportunity to vent against this type of behaviour.
Realist-502574 says
" I love reading the venomemous hatred spewed by the commenters. Especially about someone who had their day(s) in court and were pronounced innocent."
Wrong she was found not guilty there is a difference. Many on the jury have said just that but didn'tthink they had enough for the death penalty. Its just too bad they forgot about the other three charges they could have found her guilty of.
Casey is self centered so if her dad did it why would she not say anything until the trail stated? She lied over and over for what? To protect her father that is supposedly a molester? It Makes no sense its just another one of her lies and her setting up her defense.
@ Realist; Clever rant.
"You all are so righteously indignant. Well, where is your indignation at the parents of the other 199 children killed by their parents that year.

Where is your indignation over the young girl who was deaf, had survived cancer, and had an artificial leg murdered by her stepmother last year?
WHERE IS YOUR INDIGNATION ABOUT ANY CHILD'S MURDER BESIDES CAYLEE ANTHONY?"
No indignation at all, Realist. Anthony was the only one of any of those others that I'm aware of who got away with the murder and is walking free. Oh, correction, WILL be walking free once the check kiting punishment is done. And maybe if she isn't forced to pay for all the damages caused by all her lies. But you knew that, right?
Synonym for innocent
Guiltless denotes freedom from guilt or responsibility for wrongdoing, usually in a particular instance: guiltless of a crime.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/innocent?s=t
Realist-502574 - She was pronounced NOT GUILTY not INNOCENT there is a big difference
Yes, in our legal system the term Not Guilty means the state did not prove their case. A jury may feel the defendant was responsible for the crime they are on trial for but they cannot consider what they FEEL, only what has been PROVED beyond a reasonable doubt. That's what happened here. A couple of the jurors who spoke up said they felt Casey was involved/responsible but that the state hadn't proved it. They got hung up on the method of death, they said. Since the medical examiner could not pronounce a method of death and tie it to Casey, they felt the state had not proved it's case. They felt the chloroform trace evidence was simply a theory. One of them said they didn't believe the chloroform evidence because there was no trace of it in Caylee's bones. They were not allowed to hear the medical evidence that states chloroform dissipates from skeletal remains within a few hours and is then not present in toxicology exams, even if it was the method of death.
Just like the Lizzy Borden, Zodiak and Jack the Ripper murders, we will NEVER get the answers leading to the truth. This particular case will go down as a classic in the annals of murder. We may believe we know in our hearts what happened, but the case will always remain unsolved......just like the OJ Simpson case. Perhaps Casey will screw up again and a jury will try to right the wrong done in this case, the way the jury in Vegas did with OJ.
I would read, watch, and look at any movie, book and or pictures that she publishes. I want to see this woman make it so bad that you all cry. I want to see the looks on all the people I know that just know she is guilty, I want to see that look on their faces as she makes it.
Casey A is crazy as a loon.
Remember tho...crazy chicks are great in the sack. I keep her around for a couple weeks. Definately wouldn't let her babysit tho!!
Harry, still love your name. Makes me laugh, man.
You're right about crazy chicks. I oughta know!!
Hey Beach!! How are ya? So, if you outta know, I guess the big question is...do you have one, or are you one??
Do ya like my 3rd grade school pic? It was before mom taught me to shave.
I would not be surprised if George Anthony faces charges for Caylee's death some day.
Maybe you think George had something to do with the murder of OJ's wife, too.
David, if that were ever going to happen, it would already have happened.
It's finished, people. Get used to it. NO EVIDENCE!! Sorry for yelling but really.........
I agree, I bet eventually it comes out the father had something to do with it. Eventually, eventually. I could tell both times I saw him, court testimony and the TV show, i could tell, he was lying. Bet I'm right
Big G-2259350
Amazing that you were able to come to all of your psychological conclusions about Casey having never, ever met her or spoken to her. Wow ... your psychic abilities are awesome! You should start a "900" number ASAP!
COMMENT BACK And may I ask, how many posters or anyone else met Casey Anthony. My comments were from observations either court video or tapes TV show. Look at the comments and never met her I am guessing toally from news events on TV and newspaper. People are easily caught up in the roar of the crowd and want to be "with it" A real good basis huh. Also, the psychiatrists who examined her, found no mental illness at that time. No mental illness at that time people.

Wow what an amazing ability you have. Heck we should get rid of all judges and juries had just have you look at defendants.
David, your post is absurd as it comes. The defense just played it for the idiots, but did not even reference the alleged abuse after the opening state. Why? Because it was a flat out lie hoping to find a Juror that would buy it. It worked. Total lies!
Oh David I forgot to mention: Nichole Simpson was not killed by OJ. It was the drug dealers. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE DEFENSE said. You are not using your "noggin".
Darlene, no, Casey is not hearing voices, talking to little green men and not delusional. She has a personality disorder. How long did Ted Bundy fool everyone? Would any of his professors believe he was a psychopath? Sociopaths and psychos are not raving lunatics! They have higher than normal intelligence and some are even gifted. Always, they are charismatic and charming, very likable. They are masters of lies, but the telling is, they have no conscience.
Did Casey ever act prostrate with grief or express mild concern for her missing little girl? Did you see the taped interview Casey had with her mom and dad while in jail? All she could talk about was herself and getting her boyfriend's phone number, and when anyone approached talking about missing Caylee, she turned on them, saying, "What about me, what about me?"
She demonstrated not a twit of concern about her missing child, missing for over a month. What normal mother is not frantic when their child goes missing? Normal?
SKOR,
She demonstrated not a twit of concern about her missing child, missing for over a month. What normal mother is not frantic when their child goes missing? Normal?
So true and so unbelievable. I mean mind blowingly impossible to digest.
Are you implying that the defense's scenario maybe true? I saw the jail house videos of Casey, George and Cindy. I can't believe, from Casey's and George's interaction, that they both knew at the time that Caylee was dead--Casey even calling George a great father. Also, from a first hand account of the Padilla team, who were living with the Anthonys when Casey was out on bail, that George angrily confronted Casey demanding she tell him the location of his Granddaughter, and was ready to physically attack her to get the information. The Padilla team also stated, that Casey loved the media attention she was getting and wanted to go on the Howard Stern show. Furthermore, Casey has proven she is a pathological liar...Could it be that Casey is just a manipulative psychopath, that loves media attention!
She is hot.
one word: sociopath
You are correct.
two words... tot mom...
Surprisingly cheerful for getting away with murder.
And let's face it... she should still be in jail for her other infractions. Even if her little girl was found face down in a pool, who the hell is she to pronounce her dead?
agree
I don't think it takes an Einstein to know death.
plain bob, Now we have to think about Nancy Grace, too?
@WeAllHaveOpinions
I don't think it takes an Einstein to know death.
Are you serious?
Lets put you in that situation. You walk out on the patio to check on your child. You find her lying face down in the pool. So that's it...she's dead. Don't call the paramedics...don't attempt CPR...you know death...why bother.
You don't have to be a genius, but you do have to be a professional to judge a death. Period, genius.
According to what I read the father brought the lifeless body into the room. He was an retired officer, she feared him and then who knows what happened from there. I still can't wait to see her big payday, I hope Nancy Grace is out in the streets asking what people think. I wan't to see their faces, oh how priceless it would be.
Why would the defense not allow these shrinks to testify? It seems Casey told them about the "drowning" incident as well as the alleged sexual abuse, and that would have lent crdence to jose Baez's unsubstantiated claims. The only reason they were removed as witnesses must have been they had MORE to tell about their observations that would have incriminated Casey and that Baez feared their testimony and cross examination.
A patient relaying alleged sexual abuse or an accidental drowning of their child isn't evidence and certainly wouldn't substantiate the claims. Ms. Anthony is a liar.
These witnesses could have elaborated on her mood when telling of each circumstance...and we all know that when Ms. Anthony is talking about herself she just gets all giddy with happiness, even in jail. It would have opened the psychiatric doors to the case. Doors the defense wanted to keep locked.
A long time ago, they had something called the Brazen Bull... it helped criminals.
It helped them reach an inner temp of 165 degrees fahrenheit! About medium to medium well.
Season with plenty of salt, pepper and garlic. Serve with garlic-dill red potatos and steamed asparagus. Mmmm-MMMMM!!!!
Casey Anthony is a complete sociopath and i'd love to smack her face..over and over
From one sociopath to another, huh?
I agree with you totally
Well, the fact is a jury of her peers found her "Not Guilty", why can't you guys accept that? There is nothing you can do to change it and every time you bitch about it, you're only stressing yourself out. That my friends will shorten your life! Simple, Get Over It.
If you hate her so much, why are you giving her that control over you? Wouldn't it be better if you just didn't give her the time of day? By doing that, you are making her a non-entity without the power to make you angry and hateful. It doesn't bring back that child.
The vast majority of us are disturbed at her behaviors, like we are when we discover human monsters do exist. What normal mother fails to report her missing child for over a month? We're stunned, shocked, that any mother could do this; we're stunned she was not convicted; we're horrified that someone murdered this little child and got away with murder. I would suppose, many felt sorry for this little girl, the sign of empathy for others indicates a normal psyche, a healthy conscience.
What mother wouldn't report a missing child for 31 days? One that is out partying thinking the child is home safe with relatives.
I will always believe that her dad DID have something to do with Caylee's death. The reason her Defense probably did not use them was because they did not NEED TO. No one can say how they would react to situations and if this girl was raped by her dad (who was a police detective) and knows what crimes scene's need to look like if you want to get away with murder (hence using duct tape on her mouth to throw police off as to who would kill this girl i.e. She was abducted by a sexual predator) and by an older brother (who IMO seemed very creepy) would make any girl feel like she cannot TRUST any MAN and as for her mom, well how many times have we seen women stay with their husbands and turn a blind eye on their children being molested?
Well, you would have been perfect for the jury. They All believed that George was lying and had a hand in Caylee's death. Even though . . . A now CONVICTED LIAR said that Caylee accidentally drowned.
It amazes me how people still believe that George killed Caylee even though Casey said that the baby drowned. People really believe what they want to whether it's true or a BIG FAT LIE.
I'm starting to reach a similar conclusion to that of usa is great.
Realistic woman: You know this is true how? Were you there? Have you actually MET CA? Are you going on what the media says? Were you in the cell when she was being interviewed by her lawyer or the psychologists? You are believing all this because it is your feeling that because this baby died SOMEONE needs to be guilty even if no one can be conivicted for it.
I wouldn't call the placement of Caylee's body an intelligent hiding place, since you're implying that her dad had something to do with this. It should have been one of the first places the police should have searched, but it was a mistake on everyone's part for not doing so. Everybody just thought somebody else already looked in the obvious places. And you'd be surprised by how much information you can get from an autopsy on a body in good condition. Even if the cause of death appears obvious (like a gunshot wound), the body will be meticulously examined, toxicology tests will be done, and organs will dissected and examined in detail. If there's something to be found, it will be found, and inconsistencies will always be noticed.
I don't need to be a police detective to tell you that it's very hard to convict someone without a body. Remember Natalee Holloway? It was as clear as day that Joran van der Sloot was the guy responsible (or at the very least, complicit), but no charges were brought because the evidence just wasn't there.
If she was so worried about leaving her child with her parents why did she do so for days at a time???? Her Father did not molest her and little Caylee did not drown. That is why she did not call the police when the child "allegedly" drowned in the family pool because a forensic specialist would have been able to tell that the child did not drown. Casey Anthony is a liar and a murderer and I will not watch, listen, or read anything she has to say, or any show she is on. In fact, I will boycott it. This woman should never be able to profit from her child's death becasue she is the one who caused it.
good. That means you won't be posting in any forums about that. You know so much more than the people who were responsible for finding her not guilty. *rolls eyes*
More evidence she is a stone cold psychopath killer. Casey should never forget, "what goes around..................
She is a sociopath, not that I am an expert but she meets enough of the criteria.
"characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity"
The question is WHY does MSNBC want to make a celebrity of a child killer? Of coyurse she was happy, she should have fried.
Because anything they post will be read and commented on.
John, They are close in definition, but in this case, they dealt with a psychopath. Reread the difference between the two.
First and foremost, the trial was not about any sexual abuse against Casey by her father nor by her brother... it was denied by both during the trial...
The trial was to find whether Casey murdered her daughter... Cayley was missing for 31 days and Casey lied about that to her parents, lied about the nanny, lied to the police every step of the way, partied instead of finding her daughter (well, she really knew where she was) - for 6 months!!!
This had all the classic behavor symptoms of a mother who murdered her child... don't be naive like the jurors and think differently...
Baez is a classic slime ball as well as his defense team... he had nothing but to throw confusion to the jury about anything and everything he could think of... I know he sleeps well at night, I know I couldn't with the outcome knowing Casey did murder her child...
Justice for Cayley was denied.
The jurors should be ashamed of themselves for not listening nor taking notes during the trial. Circumstantial evidence produced throughout the trial is enough to convict beyond reasonable doubt... 85-90% of America was thoroughly shocked at your ignorance...
Cygnus_X-1: Social workers are highly trained professionals, so I am not sure why you insinuated they are not. I hold my BSW and plan on pursuing my MSW. Social work programs are highly structured and credentials are rigorously monitored. Licensing requirements to become an LCSW are very strict requiring a master's degree, demontrated knowledge, skills, and experience. I recently spoke with a doctor of psychology who told me he reccomends obtaining an MSW to anyone who wants to go into the mental health profession. Perhaps you are confusing social workers with entry level human service workers (who are hard workers.)
Still shocked and sickened at the entire case. Knowing we share Earth with her makes me bitter and Caley's justice was denied. I can tell you now if my daughter went "missing" you can be absolutely sure I would be freaking out every second that went by without her and if I knew she died I wouldn't care about anything, let alone having lies lined up for ANY reason. Casey is a pathetic human being and deserves to be alone. At least she can't go clubbing without being recognized (for now), I mean, poor thing can't party the way she thought she would be able to...
Well, Pete, I certainly agree that there is no way she was not guilty-- the way she acted is more than enough evidence for me to believe she belongs in hell. HOWEVER, I followed the case very closely and it was also apparent that prosecution did not have anything to stand on besides Casey's actions. I hate "circumstancial evidence" because it is really not solid at all. I personally think that she is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but if I had been a juror and I was making a decision solely based on the case, which is exactly what a juror is supposed to do, I would have a hard time saying that based on the evidence she is guilty. I think the jurors acted morally-- you can bet that most of them FELT she was guilty, but that failed to be proven. Take the Amanda Knox trial-- the first one, of course. She was convicted largely because the prosecution painted her as a devious, evil partier so it seemed that her "personality" they made up fit with the "story" they created to describe the crime. There was no proof that she was, in fact, a devious and evil person, and there was no proof that the crime actually happened in the way the prosecution made up.... but somehow she was convicted based on made-up scenarios and speculation that was passed off as being truth. Comparing the two cases, there isn't much difference with proof. That's unfortunate, as I would love to see Anthony suffer, but definitely lacking proof.
Melmel, they had more than enough circumstantial evidence to convict her. The Scott Peterson jury had less than this but they managed to connect the dots get it right. The term is beyond REASONABLE doubt not SHADOW of doubt....
I hate this b**tch!
Amen!
LOL!!!!!
She is a sick F**K, and I get mad when ever I see or hear her name. She is a murderer, that got away with it.
Justice for Kids Slain by parents

Barf.......... Enough of this bitch. The media is being irresponsible once again...... sigh. :(
No they are doing what they set out to do, they are making money hand over fist. They post something on this lady, you will read and respond. Way to go MSNBC your goal has been made.
Maybe she just has a sunshiny, glass half full personality?
The whole thing about this case is just sad. No justice for that little girl and her grandparents have been driven through the mud. Life isn't fair.
"presenting it...in a manner stripped of almost any affect or emotion"
Isn't that type of mannerism one of the major criteria for being defined as a sociopath?
Defense witnesses that were never called to the stand. Nuff said.
Still flinging uncorroborated BS from a known and convicted felon.
Whether you agree with the outsome, justice was served. Here, in the US, the prosecution has the burden of proof to prove each and every element of each charge that they bring. Here, the prosecution failed to meet their burden of proving the elements. In our system, if you cannot prove the elements, you lose. The defense doesn't have to say a single word. That is our system - hence, justice was served. They failed to prove the elements and as a result, the jurors had no choice but to render a not guilty. Perhaps if different charges, with different elements, would have been brought, it may have been a different outcome. But they weren't. Justice served.
No, justice was not 'served'. The jury failed to apply logic and reason to their deliberations...they took the easy way out. No questions to the judge. I keep hearing that they all thought she was guilty. If that were the case, they would have thrown quite a few questions at the judge. They also would have reviewed evidence presented.
The jury was lead by the nose by Baez and team. I wonder how long it will take them to figure out that Baez treated them like idiots. Strategically placing Ms. Anthony directly across from the jury showing what an excellent actress she is. We all know her demeanor when the jury was out.
The prosecution did fail. They gave jurors too much credit in assuming that they would use logic and reason. They should have made certain that rules for circumstantial evidence was given to the jury. They should have listed the elements that made the medical examiner determine manner of death was homicide over and over and over.
No, justice wasn't served...however, what goes around comes around.
Of course she was cheerful, she'd got rid of that annoying little problem didn't she?
Yeah I know. How sick is that, right? She could not be happier than to be with anyone but herself. Same as the stupid video that was "hacked". She looks freakishly content to be in hiding talkin to no one but herself. Ant person that goes on with life without a second though aftere murdering their child is seriously sick.
Please, please, PLEASE! Don't give this psychopathic murderer any more media coverage!
Quit reading and commenting and they won't.
Nancy Grace prays for more "tot moms" like Casey Anthony. I think she's as sick as Casey, if not more so. She made millions off the death of Kaylee. Judge, jury, and wannabe executioner. Sick bitch.
Ok peeps! This chick more than likely grew up as a latchkey kid. Parents working and she was left to her own devices. Kids probably spoiled from the guilt of the parents not being around. When things went wrong, lie about it, who will know the difference. Then, hey, they bought it! Now lets just lie about everything. The bi**h was not molested by her father or brother, she was just very good at lying and making people believe her. As for being date raped, a lie. She got knocked up, figured having a child was a good way to get back at her parents (knowing they would support her), and didn't realize the reality of having a child. Once Caylee got older, she became an inconvenience and in the way. The crap about her Dad coming into the room with a limp, wet Caylee is BS. They were not living in the home when Caylee went missing. Bottom line, the bi**h is a liar and murder, and she got away with it!! Karma will get her, so just sit back and watch because there is nothing else that can be done.
Nancy grace and suck my dick. Ugly bitch!
Disillusioned with Religion, so you have convinced yourself that you know this family... seek help and fast.
