Baez was brutual to George Anthony in his closing remarks. Yes, George lied about his affair with River Cruz. No surprise there, his wife was sitting in the room. But I see him as a devoted and grieving grandfather. As Rubicon says, I was pleased to see Ashton and Burdick move the focus from George back to Casey.
The State finally offered up a motive in their closing, which I think will resonate with jurors. The only person who benefitted from Caylee's death is Party Girl Casey. Any mother that can go out partying night after night when her daughter has just died is heartless. It is astounding to see Casey's lack of expression in Court, concerning anything that doesn't impact her. I don't think she'll get premeditated, but perhaps felony murder.
Baez scored some points yesterday but talked too long. Overall the State had a stronger closing. Any bets on how long the jury will be out? I'm thinking three days.
