(She said it was an innocent search related to a hunt for information about chlorophyll and her bamboo plants, notes CNN.) She also searched for trauma- and injury-related terms and said a stain in Casey Anthony’s trunk was there when they bought the car. Prosecutors have proposed that the stain came from Caylee’s body. The computer searches occurred at a time when Cindy’s timecard said she was at work—but actually, “I went home early a couple of days," Cindy Anthony told a prosecutor. "I didn't look up how to make chloroform. I looked up chloroform." She said she researched information about certain chemicals because of a scare about hand sanitizers and traumatic injuries because a friend had been hurt in a car accident. But she didn’t look up “household weapons” or “neck breaking,” searches that have been attributed to her daughter.

They sat in the courtroom as Casey's attorney accused the dad and the brother of sexual abuse and did nothing about that. They sat on the other side of the glass when Casey was more concerned about getting her boyfriends phone number instead of finding out about her daughter (well, we know why now, Caylee was already dead). They also sat and listened as the vulture/attorney accused the Anthony's of covering up for Casey who is now saying that the daughter accidentally drowned. No wonder Casey is a sociopath. Her parents did nothing to instill any kind of morals into this egocentric waste of space they call a daughter. I think they are all plagued with mental illness. Not one of those sickos have stood up for Caylee who was the forgotten victim. Maybe it's a blessing that she isn't around. Who knows what kind of a life she would have had in that twisted family. [avatar92.jpg] JTREMAINRN261 Jun 24, 2011 12:43 PM CDT Please just do justice for this poor little child; put this woman in jail for perjury and keep her locked as with her disgusting daughter. I see enough of these type cases to know what I'm talking about. [avatar92.jpg] baranoww Jun 24, 2011 11:59 AM CDT She probably looked up "babies floating face down in pools" on YouTube, too.

She told one psychiatrist that she suspected her drink had been spiked, reports the Orlando Sentinel . "Two beers, possibly given another drug. Woke up passed out," said a second psychiatrist, reading from his notes, according to newly released depositions. (The AP has that quote.) "Don't remember anything at a party, age 18. This is how she said she got pregnant." More» Man Who Found Remains Sues Casey Anthony Roy Kronk alleges defamation (NEWSER) - Casey Anthony is apparently nowhere near done with the courts. The meter reader who found Caylee's remains has sued her for defamation, reports the Orlando Sentinel . Roy Kronk says her lawyers tried to pin the blame on him after he made the discovery, and he points out a logical contradiction: If Anthony was telling the truth in court that Caylee drowned in the family pool, why did she let her lawyers smear his name publicly and suggest he kidnapped the girl? More» Florida Releases Names of Casey Anthony Jurors Judge waited three months for tempers to settle (NEWSER) - The jurors who cleared Casey Anthony of murder now might have to explain the verdict to their neighbors. Florida today released the jurors' identities, reports the Orlando Sentinel . Normally, the names are made public immediately after a trial, but the judge ordered a three-month delay given the public outrage over the verdict. Click for specifics on the panel, which has rejected requests to speak collectively about the decision. More» Casey Anthony Owes Cops $97K: Judge Figure less than a fifth of prosecutors' goal (NEWSER) - Casey Anthony will have to shell out more than $97,000 to help cover the investigation into her daughter’s disappearance, the judge in her trial ruled today. The money is due largely to local police agencies, though the tab weirdly includes $50 for the Florida State Attorney’s Office, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The total is less than a fifth of the $500,000 prosecutors wanted. Reports have put the costs of the case at nearly $700,000. More» Dad: Here's How I Think Casey Killed Caylee His theory: She pumped Caylee full of drugs so she could party (NEWSER) - Dr. Phil has certainly squeezed a number of juicy revelations out of George and Cindy Anthony, but the money quote (or quotes) appeared in yesterday's show, as both parents shared their personal theories on how their daughter played a part in Caylee's death—or actually killed her. Mom, for her part, believes there's a kernel of truth to the drowning story put forth by the defense. "I buy the part that Caylee drowned, but I don't buy the circumstances surrounding the drowning."
