Yes, I noticed that also. I thought they'd go over and hug her. I feel for the parents, but each in their own way is strange......ditto for the brother. What grown man would cry because he wasn't invited to a baby shower? Dysfunctional families "keep secrets".
I believe, in my humble opinion, it was a PATTERN in that family. They wanted to give the impression of being a perfect all American family as the kids were growing up, but enabled them and children do learn by example. I do not doubt that the grandparents loved that little girl......as did Casey.

Although Jose Baez had been villianized in the newspaper "chats" as Bozo, etc.........he did save Casey's life.

She has to live with whatever knowledge she has about Caylee's ending. Unless she is totally heartless, that will be torture enough. As one juror said, "God is the ultimate judge".

I can't imagine where Casey will reside when she gets out of jail on Thursday for "time served". A halfway house? With one of the female lawyers? Certainly not with her family or friends.

I think Jose did present "doubt" in my mind anyway........with the chart of the imaginary friends..........the family dynamic of lying (all of them) or blocking out truths........she was raised that way. This does not condone the death of an innocent child. But, if I were on the jury, with the evidence as presented, I would also have to give the benefit of the doubt.

Why didn't they bring up the fact that the meter reader duct taped his own wife in the past????? George's mistress was believable, so he also lied. Cindy lied about being home that day , on the computer. I wouldn't put much stock in computer searches as we all google things; not necessarily using them for ill or evil purposes. As many said, a lot of the evidence was considered "junk science".

She definitely has mental issues..........why didn't the fact that she had "seizures" come up in the trial???? Jesse Grund had taken her to the hospital. She also told a friend, "I feel like I'm going insane". Something happened. I can come up with many other theories than the prosecution presented...........I wonder if she will ever tell the truth about what happened.

We have a case in Vermont with regard to the gruesome murder of Brooke Bennett, a young 14 year old, killed by her own uncle.......no mass media coverage at all.

Vermont has few murders, thus...this one should have been a sensation. But we don't have the sunshine laws or document dumps up here. I doubt if even Nancy Grace covered Brooke Bennett's horrible demise, but maybe once....if that.

As we were watching the six weeks of testimony and then the final closing arguments, I thought of the Salem Witch Trials.........not that she is a witch, nor all that innocent....but mass hysteria as with the blogging youthful Casey haters in Orlando, it almost seems that way. We all were horrified at the thought that a mom could callously kill her child and toss the body in the woods (swamp after the hurricane came through)..........but after hearing the witnesses........I did have "reasonable doubt" in my mind.....not to say the grandfather covered up an accident that "snowballed out of control".......but it could be plausible. Nancy Grace , I'm sure, is one of the talking heads that Lawyer Cheney was referring to. Anyway, this was the trial of the century and it reminds me of the LIZZIE BORDEN CASE in Massachusetts.......a long long time ago.
I believe she also got away with murder.........."if" she did it. Don't shoot the messenger, just saying that the defense did plant reasonable doubt in my mind.....after three years of hearing the opposite. My husband thinks they should "fry her".
