The judge is controlling the courtroom, not the attorneys. As a former resident of Pinellas County. I can tell you that the county's residents take jury duty very seriously and in almost all cases of murder, they reach a verdict based on the evidence not emotion, unlike a Los Angeles jury. Friday's testimony by expert witnesses, including Dr. G the Medical Examiner, pretty much scuttled the defense contention that it was an accidental drowning. Combine that with the computer testimony and it is looking like Murder 1 for Casey Anthony and justice for little Caylee Anthony. |
I disagree with Dr. G. on her statement that there would be no reason to place duct tape on a dead body. If the child was already dead (by whatever means, we don't know yet how or when for sure), then Casey could have placed it there in an effort to support her kidnapping story if/when Caylee's body was found. Remember, that was her story to begin with when she finally had to admit that Caylee was "missing".
One of the legal analysts, actually a judge himself, said that he was disappointed to say the least at Dr. G.'s testimony because of her obvious bias. He felt that she was somewhat less than professional as an expert witness because of it. He said that he had never seen her do that and that he had seen her testify on numerous cases.
