Casey Anthony Trial - Did she do it? or was it an accident?

Casey Anthony trial updates June 30, 2011




Krystal Holloway seemed quite credible on the stand today. Later on an interview with Vinnie Politan she clarified the testimony more regarding the “this was an accident that snowballed out of control” statement made by George Anthony. She admitted not asking more questions, so she was unsure exactly if the statement meant that he knew it for a fact or suspected it.



In my opinion, it was an odd statement because an accident is out of control. If one had control of an accident then one would prevent it in the first place. If he knew it was an accident and Caylee was already dead then why hadn't he told law enforcement unless he had something to do with it or the cover up somehow? He didn't appear to be protecting Casey, so why didn't he just come forward if he knew something?



George Anthony's credibility was definitely questionable regarding the existence of an affair with Krystal Holloway. His manner even changed when he answered the questions finding the questions “funny”? I can't see where any of it was funny. I wonder why no further texts were entered into evidence?



The Casey family pet burial methods used over the past years suggest that someone in the family dumped Caylee's body because she was dumped much the same way. In a cloth laundry bag and two plastic garbage bags. They probably thought they were doing it the “right” way. Had Casey ever attended a funeral before? It's not like you can run out and buy a coffin for your child is missing when you are trying to convince people she is alive and kidnapped.



Casey was involved and if a pool accident why hide it? A pool accident is not usually considered a criminal act. BUT if the death involved accidental overuse of chloroform then Casey's cover up makes more sense because she obviously didn't want to get caught.



Prosecutors say the mother drugged her daughter with chloroform and then pressed duct tape over her nose and mouth and suffocated her on June 16, 2008. They say Casey hid the body in the trunk of her car for several days before dumping it in a wooded area a quarter-mile from the family home.



I think that this could very well be what happened, or that the child was drugged while in the trunk, while Casey partied and then died.



I invite you to comment with your opinions below. It is such a sad case.

Casey Anthony trial hanging on the testimony of Crystal Holloway

Wow Crystal Holloway had some powerful testimony today. Personally I believe George Anthony and her did have an affair.  I don't know why the defense did not subpoena the gate records to see how many times George Anthony visited Crystal Holloway and what times he visited.   That would give the jury an idea who might be telling the truth. She claimed he went there about 12 times, while he claimed just a few times.

Crystal Holloway seems to be telling the truth. During her testimony George Anthony sat there as stiff and unemotional as Casey has been throughout the trial. So now I am doubting his testimony with regard to the affair. 

The real question though is did George Anthony know there was an accident, or did he believe there may have been an accident that snowballed out of control?  At the time did he believe or know Caylee was dead or alive? Why would he make that statement if he thought she was still alive?

Casey Anthony Trial - who do we believe? Add your opinion here!

The Casey Anthony trial has been twisting and turning with contradictory testimony which leaves me wondering "don't they know that they have to tell the truth?" and "don't they know that when two people say two opposite things one of them must be lying?"  The jury has a tough job ahead of them.

What is the point of testimony in a trial if people just lie?  I have been frustrated at trying to figure out who is lying and who isn't out of the Anthony family members who have testified so far.

I have decided to keep an open mind about Casey Anthony's guilt or innocence on the premeditated murder charges. However I don't have a good opinion of her, and think poorly of her lying, tattooing, partying ways while her daughter was supposedly "missing", or perhaps already dead.  Clearly Casey Anthony is an odd person with some sort of problems because the way she behaved just wasn't even close to normal.

Sadly I am not sure we will ever know exactly how, when or where Caylee died because no one seems to be able to be truthful.  So many things don't add up.  How could no one know where she was? Someone knew.

I am just hoping for some heated questioning from the lawyers that gets someone to admit something so that the truth comes out.

Today June 28th 2011, Lee Anthony's testimony contradicted Cindy Anthony's testimony about her sending the investigators to search the wooded area based on a psychic tip.  The area they searched by the way, was not exactly the same as the area where Caylee's remains were found. Same general area, but not the same spot.  


I want to invite comments below where you can give your opinion as the trial goes forward.

Which Cracked Feet Products Work? Read before you buy!

Cracked feet or more commonly cracked heals can be embarrassing and annoying to deal with. When the cracks get deep enough they form a fissure and can be very painful and even bleed.

At times people give up trying to solve the problem partly because they have already tried so many lotions, creams, oils and pastes that all claim to work wonders, but many of them make no significant difference at all! After spending so much money on things that don't work, one becomes afraid to waste more money on yet another lying miracle cure.


The manufacturers loosely throw around claims like “guaranteed and clinically proven,“ and other terms that, in my experience simply aren't true. The picture shows all the products I presently have on the side table next to my bed. I have used more products in the past as well, so the pictured products aren't an exhaustive list of what I have tried.



Miracle Foot Repairs directions are to apply 3-4 times per day. Who has that kind of time? Amlactin, Heel Rescue and Blue Goo Cracked Heel Foot Softener all have the same directions to apply twice a day. That is much more reasonable.


I recommend the Blue Goo Cracked Heel Foot Softener because in just one application in the evening with socks pulled over your feet for the night I see a marked difference in the morning. I recommend continued use once a day, or twice a day as needed.


The product is made of emu oil and beeswax and goes on like a thick yellowish paste. It has an odd smell and doesn't wash off your hands as easily as the other products, but it works for me. So if you are still looking for a product that may work for you, give it a try!


Please feel free to comment below or post your recommendations. I have not tried heeltastic so if you have tried it please comment on your experience with it!

Tips for surviving your family trip to Universal's Islands of Adventure this summer.

Follow these tips and feel free to add more tips in the comment section below!

1. Wear comfortable shoes!

2. Wear upper clothing that is light colored rather than dark colors to stay cooler.

3. Wear clothing that dries easily (You will get soaked on the water rides).

4. Apply sweat proof/water resistant or water proof sunscreen to all skin exposed to sun prior to going
(don't carry it along unless you think you will have to reapply it).

5. Take Advil or Tylenol or something like it, with you in case your feet really start to hurt

6. Take anything extra that you don't need out of your purse prior to going (it gets heavy).

7. Don't take back packs with extra clothes or towels unless you have a stroller.

8. Keep a towel or two in your car for when you return at the end of the day, you may be wet from water rides.

9. Take a camera and don't forget to use it!

10. Sit for brief breaks often in an air conditioned building.

11. Drink fluids before getting there (cheaper elsewhere) and then keep hydrated while there. Yes you will have to spend money there on some food and drinks.

12. Eat a big breakfast prior to going so that you aren't so hungry there (food is expensive there) unless you are likely to feel queasy if you eat too much and go on a roller coaster etc.

13. Sneak in some fruit snacks packets or granola bars in a small paper bag, because even if you aren't that hungry you will feel tired and that will pick you up a little. (costs less than their food)

14. People who are prone to inner thigh chafing should apply powder prior to going, and ride water rides only at the end of the day.

15. Even though it is very tempting to go on water rides between noon to 4 pm, don't go on water rides until the end of the day because walking in wet shoes and clothes isn't real comfortable.

16. Don't bother using the large body dryers that cost $5, it will dry your hair and skin but most clothes will stay wet.

17. After water ride don't immediately go to an indoor attraction, the air conditioning on wet clothing is uncomfortable. Some people catch a cold that way. Another reason do the water rides last.

18. Don't buy your children or self gifts/souvenirs until the end of the day so you don't have to carry them all day. Carrying a large stuffed animal around with you all day gets very hot and is inconvenient when trying to go on rides.

19. Before getting in a long line to wait for a ride, ask if any of your children have to use the restroom first.

20. Two adults should accompany two or more children in case one child wants to go on a ride and the other doesn't. One adult can be with ones riding and one adult with those not riding.

21. Be patient with your children, remember this is something special you are doing with them.

22. Some children may not be ready for the aggressive rides. (personally I don't think kids age under 7 would enjoy it as much as Magic Kingdom)

23. Avoid fighting, especially with your significant other or spouse. Let the day be happy!
