Yep change of venue might work for the prosecution... maybe even get them the conviction they are looking for.....but I think it only fitting since this trial will be about the death of Caylee Anthony that the family members who take the stand be held out in the hallway or in seperate quarters, so as to not let SPINDY and JOJO as well as other family members and friends to have any eye contact with Casey. It might also be in favor of the prosecution to use the taped depositions that were given by family members as well as the 911 call in order to show that they are all deceptive in their depositions....The fact that they would have eye contact would give Casey hope that they could actually pull off a NOT GUILTY verdict. This case even today as I write this is taking on a new shape and form.... everday there is something new ....The statement Spindy made when she walked into the garage and said George what died?...OH YEAH ITS THE PIZZA is still bothering me....HOW DID SPINDY KNOW THERE WAS PIZZA IN THE TRUNK?....because there was no pizza ..just an empty box....and the fact that on the 911 call Spindy claimed the car spelled like a DEAD BODY....but then claims she didnt say that..this case is so bizzarre...I just got the book.....Im going to read it....should be fast read for all the things that are posted online....and as they cannot be changed....I want to see how closely Ms. Fanning really did or did not follow.....and if at all possible there might be additional clues. I am waiting to see how badly Mallory has been coached....Lose Lips Sink Ships..So I wonder about Mallory...So I'm off to read more lies.......

What a sick, twisted family. The excerpts from Diane Fanning's book concur with my theory when this case hit the news and the media showed the behavior of Cindy and George. A seemingly normal family with a deceptive, manipulative daughter and a missing-then-found-dead granddaughter. One minute Cindy is berating her daughter all the while enabling her behavior; next she defends her like a vicious mother tiger in the face of blatant lies and the smell of death. Deep down, George knows his daughter is a liar, yet passively accepts this charade thereby enabling both his wife and daughter. They all play the roles they honed oh so well over the past 20+ years. How on earth can any parents expect to raise a noraml child when they don't teach them the consequences of their actions? Casey Anthony strikes me as an articulate, intelligent, albeit soulless, woman who might have made something of herself had she not been raised in this way. This, folks, is just one textbook way to raise a killer in a seemingly normal family. The only one I feel some shred of sympathy for is George. He's expressed great sorrow at losing his granddaughter and having a daughter in jail. He apparently stays with Cindy because she is all he has left.

I sincerely hope they get the change of venue, so when Casey is found guilty in another jurisdiction we won't have to hear Wah Wah Wah everyone in Orlando is out to get me. They could try her case in an igloo in Siberia and she will still be found guilty. I am so glad that George cleared up the reason why Casey was dancing with the shot girls at Fusian while Caylee was in the trunk, oops I mean with Zenaida the nanny. He just blew the prosecutions case with his theres a connection somewhere answer. Don't worry Casey Daddys got your back you'll be free in no time.

What is wrong with that family. They flip flop like a fish out of water. Poor Brad Conway they are making him look incompetant as well. First when asked if they thought Casey was guilty he said they don't know, Now he is sure she's innocent. That family needs to archive all of there statements and study before they blab away. I am so aggravated I gave myself a headache. Good Night Baby Girl RIP.

The parents are in total denial and had said some incriminating things against their own daughter in the beginning. Casey was a liar, and a manipulator and she blew sunshine up everyone's butt from the get-go so that she could live the life of a single woman and forget about the reality of her life, which is OH excuse me, was, that of a single PARENT. I honestly do not know any responsible parents that would let their child go missing for one day, much less a whole month, without calling the police. I think Casey was the sick kind of person to do whatever was done to her daughter, and I think it was planned from the moment Casey left her home that day. Maybe Casey was going to hold their grandchild for randsom and the plan went bad. The attorney says the state has too many holes in their case, I think the defense does as well And g figure the family would hire the scuzziest lawyers in the free world (did I say free? my bad)that work like Oj's did, with smoke and mirrors (if the glove doesn't fit that means Isotoners shrink when blood dries on them right?). And if Caseys mom really believes in the Bible, let be done unto Casey, what was done unto little Caylee... That's what I call justice..

this story makes me sick. this dumb girl killed her daughter and thought she could get away with it! how completely stupid are you!!!!! casey anthony should sit in jail for the rest of her life but not in segregation they should put this horrible woman in population and let her see how it feels to be beaten and abused. i hate her i hope she rots in jail and then continues to rot in hell. this is a woman who god blessed with a beautiful baby girl and she thought going out to party and be irresponsible was more important than her daughter. and the grandparents.....now i know if my grandchild and daughter up and left i would be concerned but not to worried because they were together and were calling on the phone. but the second my daughter kept making up reasons why her daughter wasnt around i would have been frantic. cindy anthony waited till casey finally addmitted that caylee had been missing for 1 MONTH!!!! CASEY IS A LIAR!! ROT IN HELL YOU MISERABLE POOR EXCUSE FOR A MOTHER......GOD BLESS CAYLEE THAT SWEET INNOCENT BABY. MAY YOU FOREVER REST IN PEACE AND ALWAYS BE LOVED BY MANY WHO NEVER KNEW YOU. YOU TOUCHED MY HEART!!!

I don't really have a lot of respect for George and Cindy either. I think they are in denial, probably above and beyond what most people would be in a similar situation. But I also think people should try to understand why they are in denial--imagine losing your beloved granddaughter and then learning that it might have been your daughter who killed her. I can't speak for everyone, but if it was me I think I would probably try to convince myself she was innocent, even if that meant believing some obvious lies or even lying to myself. After all what's the alternative? They've already lost one family member, to believe that a second was guilty of killing that family member would be really, really painful. Maybe they prefer delusion to the horror of the truth. I don't think it's really up to us to judge them. They are not the ones on trial.

I believe our Lord does GOOD work.... I too believe her mother did it out of JELIOUSY.. Her parents need to accept her reguardless. If she can't confess, There is more HELL! She has no clue! I would be so affraid of what would happen to me if I could not admit my sins.

I wish the News Media would "STOP" saying she didn't report her daughter missing for 30 days - "Casey DID NOT REPORT her daughter missing for 30 days" Her MOTHER Cindy did after she tracked her down at her boyfriend, Anthony Lazarros apartment!!! God only knows how long this poor child would have been left un-reported if we waited on Casey while she sat at her boyfriends house playing on her laptop, partying and continue her life like nothing ever happened! JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE 2010

Why is everyone so concerned with Cindy and George? This isn't even about them ... all they are were vehicles for CBS to tell both sides of the story AND to let the viewers see that they ARE what has been said here .. fair weather and liars. come on, that's a given so let it go, it isn't the issue, they aren't on trial. What is the issue is Casey .. and I, like most people, believe she's guilty as sin. Just the mere fact that she didn't report her daughter missing tells you that ... and had her mother not gone to pick up the car, who knows, caylee still today may not have been reported missing. And don't let yourselves get pulled down into the mire of her lie regarding Zany, "well okay, she MIGHT have thought she could get her back from Zanny so maybe that Is why she waited." BS BS BS ... no it isn't because she knew when she said it that "Zanny" didn't exist. that was her first lie in covering up her guilt for killing her daughter. What I found sickening in the video, which agreeably, offers no NEW or UN-TOLD information, is the smugness of her defense team ... them in their smirky know it all smiles ... that's a "united front" and unless they can give some rational explanation of the first step in the cover up (Casey not reporting the child missing) they've lost their case already to a jury with any sense. Until that question can be answered with something that can be proven and at the same time exonerates casey, then there's your murderer ----> Casey Anthony. That people and the press are allowed to stand around outside the Anthony home is just ludicrous. These people have lied yes, but haven't we all? that's no reason to be harassed to the point of wanting to take your own life. They didn't "raise a murderer" they raised a daughter the same as the rest of us, "to the best of their ability" . that she turned out to be a murderess lays on nobody's shoulders other than Casey's. At least try to stay on topic people.

I cant understand how can a mother just sit back an party with friends for a month without reporting her own daughter missing ... It really breaks my heart to watch this i cant see how any one could just be so sick to do something like that ,,,, an why dont her parents sit an think why wouldnt she report her missing . an the mother said something about pizza smell in the trunk pizza would not smell like a bead body rotten smell . i beleave they no something they just wouldnt say ....

JOSE BOZO is a joke.....even JOJO said he cant figure out where Casey found him......ONE can only begin to imgaine....maybe she picked him up at one of the infamous partys she attended....Looking at the way the Dead Beat DAD gazes and smiles at Casey in the courtroom.....with anticipation in his eyes...the anticipation he will get Casey off and he will marry her and they will ride off into the proverbial sunset and make a new life for themselves....NO HUGGING JOSE.......NO LICORICE JOSE.....or am I wrong is this the new age attorney client priviledge? (SOON THEY WILL BE HAVING CONJUGAL VISITS) When will JOSE begin to mouth I LOVE YOU to CASEY? And to hear JOJO talk to LE his brother in law is going to be asked to foot a lawyers fee??? MORTAGE YOUR HOUSE JOJO! Theres only two of you now sell it you only need one bedroom and sell everything you worked for so Casey can have a lawyer!! OMG RICK RUN FAST AS YOUR CAN.......I heard JOJO (in an interveiw with LE) say you can drop $50,000 or $100,000 like it was nothing ...If you got it RICK hide it....KUDOS to you ... The best thing Casey had going for her was the love of Jesse Grund....IF Cindy would have left it alone....I often wonder was Cindy jealous of that relationship....Cindy says the nastiest things about Jesse....I think it only honorable to take you daughter and grand-daughter at face value and want to spend the rest of his life with both of them....I see where selfishness and greed play a big part in Cindy's life...she taught all this to Casey as well as lying ........I cant wait til the trial.......Yet wondering if Judge Stan will ask Cindy and JOJO which deposition they want to go off of........there are so many discrepancies in them.......I feel sorriest for George though having to go pick up that car opening it up and smelling DEATH......He knew then and he knows now....If Cindy has access to the blogs no telling what her story will be the next time she gets on the stand....Maybe Cindy should take a Zanny = Xanax!

How do you even begin to think Casey Anthony is innocent when the mother and the father both confirm through 911 call and admittance to the OSCO that the smell was that OF DECOMPOSITION!...The world is obessed with this case but only because this mother and father are so much in denial that they have raised such a monster. ZANNY is a fantasy......I personally feel sorry for all those lives who CASEY ANTHONY has touched...seems like to me Casey had to be THE CENTER OF ATTENTION....I wonder if they didnt take Casey to apartment 210 when Casey herself wanted to rent or inquire about a rental....Casey most likely got the information from The Sawgrass obviouly the staff fail;ed to file the info like they were supposed to. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS INVOLVED WITH CAYLEE'S MURDER...THIS COVER UP WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY..and to think they let Cindy babysit after all this......GEORGE doesnt even show as much remorse as you would think he should......knowing who Caylee's DNA will return to...DUCT TAPE DUCT TAPE DUCT TAPE...Can you spell DUCT TAPE?

I have never experienced so many IT problems as on this site. Nothing plays, it stops in the middle of an episode, ugh. Even confirming my email through registration took four attempts. To be taken seriously as a major network, CBS MUST overhaul its sit. It is completely unprofessional.

to all you critical people that think you have a right to critticize!! If casey killed her owned child then shame on her and she will have her day of justice! Yes it is a terrible thing. But you have no right to condem her parents, they are losing more than you awful people could ever imagine. So all you mean people ; stand in front of a mirror and point that finger and say awful things to youself.

Only a pair of dysfunctional parents could spawn such a monster as their daughter Casey. Their main priority is income for them their harlot daughter is lost to them forever. These two deserve to be incarcerated for "obstruction of justice" and lying to the FBI and others. They are a disgrace.
