A New Bloggin' Beginning

I've had some blogs in the past- deadjournal, livejournal, etc.. I've been able to keep up with them for a while, but it'd be nice to hold onto one for a very long time and refer back to it years to come- hopefully this is that one!
This will be a good place for me to post my thoughts on current news issues- I've been keeping a physical scrapbook of news articles that interest me lately but it's good to get something going online.
Caylee Anthony has captured the majority of my attention lately- it's enthralling and strangely addictive once you get accquainted with some of the facts of the case.. If anyone out there is reading my blog I'm sure there will be a lot of articles to come regarding Casey (the mother)'s court case and hopefully one day I'll have the pleasure of posting "Casey's GUILTY!!!!"

The octo-mom is very interesting also- can't wait to vent my feelings on that psycho.
And who can forget the chimp from Stamford who recently tried to tear off his owner's friend's face- scary as hell!

Evidence Pictures In Caylee Anthony Murder Released

ORLANDO-- Everyone can now get an inside glimpse at the murder investigation that has gripped Florida.
The Orange County State's Attorney's Office released thousands of pictures in discovery taken from the crime scene where Caylee Anthony's remains were found.
One of the pictures from the wooded area shows human bones collected at the scene.
The pictures also show the painstaking process for investigators, sifting through the earth looking for the smallest speck of forensic material.
Other evidence apparently connects the location where Caylee's remains were found back to the Anthony home. Specifically, children's stickers found in Casey Anthony's room which look like the ones found on duct tape on the body.
"This is duct tape that was found over the little girls mouth with a child's heart sticker on top of it and there's a match with the sticker inside the house. So it suggests the killer started inside the house," said Lisa Bloom, a CBS News analyst.
Included in the release diary entries from Caylee's mother Casey who is on trial for the child's murder. One line reads "I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means."
The entry is dated June 21st, but it's unclear if the entry was from 2003 before Casey was born or 2008 which would be 5 days after the girl went missing.
"The ink can be stamped and dated by scientist so that will be critical I think" said Bloom.

"Junk Science"

Casey Anthony's defense team responded to the new evidence by calling it one-sided "junk science."

Spokeswoman Marti Mackenzie said because the evidence was only inspected by law enforcement it is biased and unreliable.


"Both the duct tape and the bags that are mentioned in this discovery are extraordinarily common and can be found in just about any home or grocery store," she said.
Casey's defense points out that there were no finger prints on the duct tape that was found covering Caylee's mouth, and they dispute evidence that a heart shaped sticker was placed over the tape.



"They believe... that the Anthony case may one to set a precedent in exposing some of the flaws in evidence," Mackenzie said.

The documents also quote Detective Yuri Melich as saying, "I immediately noticed that there appeared to be a piece of silver duct tape across the mouth area of the skull. The tape appeared to have been purposely placed there."
Casey Anthony, 22, is in jail on first-degree murder and other charges.


Caylee disappeared when she was 2 in mid-June but wasn't reported missing until a month later. Her remains were found in December in a wooded lot about a half mile from her family's home. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide.
Last week, a new jailhouse videotaped interview between Anthony and her parents was released in which Anthony describes herself as a victim.
Anthony has insisted that she had nothing to do with her little girl's disappearance and death, saying she last saw her when she left her with a baby sitter.
Police say she made the story up and the sitter doesn't exist.
