Hi Everyone, Most of you will remember me as Cummingundone, It has been months since I have been on, but I just wanted to say thank you sssooo much for all of the prayers for Becca, as you know she is very, very sick. Ocalagal called me the other day and we have spoke several times since then. Becca came into my life because of this case as so many of you did, Sandy Arizona, Ocalagal, The Ponderer, Sky Angel, Dawg so many! People from every walk of life came together for a baby that was killed. Becca, since the last time I spoke to Ocalagal was STABLE! yahoo! we need to keep up the prayers because if anyone can beat this it would be her. Her and I even exchanged gifts last Christmas and I will share. She sent my daughter and I somthing that we will always have. A neclace that she had engraved on the back (I will always be with you) So many of you pitched in on the gift baskets that we sent to OCSO last year and Becca and talked afterwords because that one night it was like a Jerry Lewis Telethon, my phone was ringing, Becca's phone was ringing, Deannes phone was ringing. And the baskets were delivered and they were AWESOME and only because people on a blog came together! Thank you all again so much for your prayers for Becca, please keep them up and God Bless Ocalagal for being the person that she is. Sandy Arizona is no longer w/us but her spirit is just as strong now as it was when she was with all of us on this blog. You the best.

A playhouse in Australia is selling tickets to a play opening soon based on the Case Against Casey Anthony in the murder of her daughter Caylee called "Tot Mom". The play says it's based on police reports and transcripts from the Nancy Grace Show. The play is created by Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh. What do you think of this?
This will clarify what i said about the duct tapes. Noticing there was more duct tape at the scene then the one on caylee, and the one on the gas can. Thanks blink for helping my out here, you put it so professionally.
clip:
here's confirmation to what i said ealier about the duct tapes. And don't you think if it was someone other then casey anthony's they would have had a media frenzy by now cuz that person would be in county jail waiting for trial ....
And just a thought for you to ponder: When casey said "they haven't even found her clothes yet" unquote, do you think she was going to say her shoes instead ? No shoes found that fit the description anywhere except the anthony home in the shoe organizer hanging on the bedroom door. Sandals...there, white sneakers there...check. Now you watch a pair of shoes come up somewhere....to bad they wont be caylee's to help the defense lol. Cuz ya no they all read these blogs to get their next strategy in line...wander how that jail house letter writing is going.

Next stop The Questioned Documents Unit, or QDU. For those unfamiliar, this is another “ARod” Jose Baez so astutely coined the analogy when referring to Dr. Neal Haskell being on the State’s expert list. This is where the mysterious “contamination” occurs. Brad Conway went as far as to say yesterday that this was a mysteryperson, a possible unsub if you will. Ms. Baden said it could be an alternative culprit. Yeesh.
It is clearly stated in the report that CONWAY released, that the ID from the partial profile, is Lorie Gottesman, of the QDU.
I am quite sure Ms. Gottesman has an alibis for June 16th. Perhaps this is a good thing as I hear Ms. Gottesman is well versed in expert testimony.
Ppppssst. There are 2 other samples of the duct tape, all 3 latent results have not been released except to say that George, Lee and Cindy have been excluded.
Wouldn’t you have to have a control latent to compare them to in order to exclude A N Y O N E?
Their ARE prints, folks. Eazy Peazy.
48 hours Special on Casey and Caylee Anthony,
What I took away from the show..
I did actually see a "shift" of some sorts with Cindy. I did see one who is trying and just on the tip of comprehending that Casey may have done this to Caylee. Even though she is way behind the average person, I did actually see a shift just starting to take place in her, and that CAsey may be the one that actually did this to Caylee.
Even at the End of the Show when Cindy was talking aobut the truth..and the Truth shall set casey free. I do beleive Cindy meant that in the Biblical sense.
No matter what, I took last nights show to heart, and it will not be a Happy Day when Casey is Sentenced, A short lived Releif, but not a happy day. Caylee is gone forever and a young mother will be gone too, one who has ruined so many lives along the last year of her Life " Prioir to Caylee's Murder". It's sad, that a young person was so inflicted and screwed up that they took an inocent person life away from them, just because they we're jealous and angry deep inside of them and a rageful side to them that most in her life we're not accepting responsibily in getting her help, or stopping the issues as they snowballed out of control for letting this person get away with to much, for so long, for years and years.. The hidden family, the secrets..The cleavers to the outside world but nothing but a mess and dsyfunction on the inside walls and core.
It was sad for me, yes I had compassion for the first time for the Anthony's as human beings, they are victims of the loss of two people, they lost their grandaughter forever, (and yes their grandaughter, not daughter.. as Cindy thought and thinks in her head, Caylee wasn't all of theirs, she was Casey's daughter, they we're the grandparents.) Then there is their daughter which in their eyes was so special to them, and could really do no harm, ( at least not the kind that would kill) in thier eyes. They never thought Casey would kill Caylee, intentionally or accidentally. Cindy to date is still having trouble comprehending fully that Casey may have actually done this.. But I do see and hear a difference in Cindy from one who is in so much denial, that she can't see past her thoughts and her compartmentalized thinking, I did see a shift in her thoughts, as if a little bit of the shell is being lightly chipped away, knowing that it may come out that Casey did do this to Caylee.
I think Elizabeth Vargas did an "Excellent" job in this segement.
However it was sad, and may God be with this whole family, no matter what silly things come out of their mouths from now through out the Trial. May God be with each and everyone of them.
