Dr. Pinsky has become a Pin-head regarding this case. I would 'bet my house' that Pinsky didn't know the first thing about Casey Anthony until the day of opening statements. Upon which, HLN changed their prime time line up to consist of every and all things related to Casey Anthony. In an attempt to boost ratings or drive them into the ground, every HLN show outside of Issues with JVM and Nancy Grace has been redesigned to include coverage of the Casey Anthony Murder Trail. Even witty and sarcastic Joy Behar is in on the act for the first 30 minutes of her show. At least Joy Behar has some prior knowledge of the case.
Drew Pinsky seems to lean towards each day's newest revelation. The good Doctor went as far to 'TV diagnose' Casey as a hard core drug addict and to toss around that 'Zanny' was street name for Xanax. WOW.. exactly how many years has THAT theory been floating around? A little late to the party Dr. Drew, but we will allow admittance, after a cover charge and id check. Upon entry to the party, Doc has now diagnosed Ms. Anthony as a full fledged sexual abuse victim. Why? because Baez says she was and Drew "sees" prominent evidence through his 60" plasma that Casey Anthony shows pronounced signs of a sexually abused child.
What really grabbed my attention AFTER Pinsky's diagnosis of Casey, was his "next segment guest". Actually, it scared me, a lot. Dr. Drew's Friday night guest was none other than "Meg Strickler", herself a defense attorney from Atlanta, AND Nancy Grace fame, who proclaimed on NATIONAL TELEVISION -- on Dr. Drew--- that she was sexually abused by her father from the age of 3 until 10 years ago, just before her wedding. .... Meg Strickler then compares herself to Casey in regards to the allegations of sexual abuse by her father, George, and the fact that she also has two small children "who are the same general age as Caylee. Two, the age when she died; and five, how old she would be now."
It is also known that Ms. Strickler's majority of clients are sexual ABUSERS/predators. Strickler claims she is best prepared to defend them because she "has experienced both sides of abuse." Who knows maybe we will see a cameo of her during the Defense Debacle Of The Century. Get those texts going, Baez. After Friday night, Ms. Strickler's fees may just go down.
I have just one question-- with her own comparisons of herself to Casey, talk peppered with therapist visits, and how the abuse has affected her day to day life, not to mention her defending the very abusers and predators themselves -- does one need worry about Ms. Strickler's own children??

User5221 replied to vickie : out of fear or perhaps caley was abused also and they didnt call 911 because they were afraid they would find out caley was abused sexually
Cindy said: I too believe Casey is innocent of what she is being tried for, and that George is guilty- see info here with replies: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pretribonly/message/9325
babs in texas replied to Cindy : The body of little caylee was hidden in the spare tire well of the trunk so couldn't be seen.....thanks so much for providing this link....so many people already have casey convicted.
ms marilyn said: I have a daughter just like Casey, except she hasn't killed anybody yet. I adopted her at age 5 and she was diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder. All her relationships are toxic. Lot of therapy- still total detachment. Too much damage, they say. Trying to keep from getting constantly
hurt--not much luck with that. I know in the next life I will feel sorry for her. After all, she lost the ability to have a normal life due to the abuse of others. At the same time, I am constantly being hurt by her. I am trying to limit that- not much luck with a virilent antisocial person. I mostly just pray. Anyway,
I understand not being able to cope. No one can.
God bles the people who try. ms. marilyn
So Sad said: Why has Dr.Drew (and others) proclaimed the Anthony family dysfunctional when the Father, Mother, and Brother have done nothing abnormal considering the bizzare and tragic situation that was thrust upon them. There are many families with normal children and one child that is a nightmare!

PatB said: Dr Drew, Casey checked online for information on how to break a neck, ehat household item can beused for a weapon...and she told her friend Amy that she would be getting a house from her parents. so they should hold off on getting an apartment. Is it possible this woman was planning to kill her parents? Just a thought. Lets face it she doesn't care how she's hurting her family.
IfYouSeekCasey said: to: User4361 A law student, eh? Have you read the discovery documents that have been released over the last 32 months pertaining to this case??
George WAS NOT the last person with trash in Casey's car.
George DID NOT just 'happen to know which dumpster was used'.
If you have been following along with us, you would know the trash bags were found in CASEY's trunk when the car was picked up at the Johnson's Wrecker by George on 7/15/08. Simon Birch, an employee of Johnson's Wrecker, was the one that tossed the bag of trash into the dumpster after George opened the trunk of the car. In the wee hours of 7/16/08, George remembered the trash that had been tossed and thus, went with an officer of OCSO (Orange County Sherrif's Office) where the trash was retrieved.
PAY ATTENTION!
Your inept interpretation of the evidence in front of you is what is sad.
You have not solved any puzzle to any conspiracy.
In fact, I render you incompetent. Good luck passing the LSATS if you have gotten that far...
User4383 replied to IfYouSeekCasey : There's too much reasonable doubt that does not link Casey to it. Caylee's remains tested for Chloroform-Negative, as well the Chloroform tested from the floorboards of the truck in her car to Chloroform tested from inside the bag of remains-insufficient amount. Remember the Chemist claimed that natural Chloroform processes from fat cells breaking down naturally (spoiled food). The hair sample they claimed was from a decomposed body-Needle in a haystack-ruled insufficient amount of evidence.-I can go on and on, I'm surprised the investigators are starting to catch on with George's testimony and how he keeps changing it, even though he swears on the Holy Bible-how ignorant. He should know better.
babs in texas replied to IfYouSeekCasey : Casey's body was hidden in the spare tire well in the trunk, and couldn't be seen....of course the odor was terrible.
Mrs.Post said: I think Casey Anthony is INNOCENT! I think that George Anthony is GUILTY! The reason why is because George Anthony himself testified that "It was a simple drowning that happened and escalated."-with that being said, he probably found her in the swimming pool and didn't want to be held reliable under his and Cindy Anthony's care. After-all he is a Law Enforcement expert and know's the ropes to cover up a murder. Therefore, when Casey found out about the drowning, her father advised her of the consequences and probably said I'll take this, and that and car and whatever else from you if you get the police involved.
Depicted from Lee's testimony- So the "Role Play" started. To conspire the cover up of the drowning, Cindy Anthony called to report her grandchild missing. Casey ran the police on a scavenger hunt to "Zanny's apartment" giving her father George Anthony ample amount of opportunity to hide Caylee's remains, to frame her because he knew what was going to happen. Casey would then start to conjure up lies such as sexual abuse. In reprisal, her father placed Caylee Anthony's remains in a bag and planted them in her car, and removed the battery from the car so Casey could not move the car. After removing the back pack, Casey's purse and the doll, Cindy testified that she sprayed air fresheners and dryer sheets to cover up the smell because the car was in their garage. Depicted from the telephone conversation between Casey and her parents Cindy Anthony stated, "the new rumor is she was found drowned in a pool," Casey replied, "Surprise, Surprise." with no emotion. She knew what happened. That's why she said, "I'm just as guilty as any of you on" recorded on video-They are all three LIARS! Casey, George, & Cindy all conspired. Cindy weeps on the stand because she doesn't want her husband to be at fault, that's why she said her daughter is an "unfit mother." Who's the unfit mother now Cindy?...I'd rather be on my daughter's side who's innocent not my monsterous husband. The chloroform results came back NEGATIVE according to Thursday's case.
Mrs. Post
IfYouSeekCasey replied to Mrs.Post : It clearly appears from your post that you have read different documents than those released by the Sate of Florida vs. Casey Marie Anthony and are watching a completely different trial.
I will bet you have been writing and receiving letters from Casey, too!?
I hope "Mr. Post" sleeps with one eye open.
Mr. Post replied to Mrs.Post : You are nuts. Look at the facts in this case. This family is not as smart as you claim! I'm sure they'd be flattered.... LOL
User4361 replied to Mrs.Post : You're right. It turns out I'm actually a law student, and the answer is "No! I have not been receiving any letters from Casey and by the way Dr. Drew attested that there are lots of people out there that thinks she's innocent." I don't think the family is smart. As a matter of fact, the answer's lie within' the video's from the jail conversations. I just find it weird that George Anthony was the last one seen putting the "bag of trash" is Casey's car. I find it weird that George Anthony lead the investigator to the exact dumpster where the trash was dumped. I find it weird that George Anthony doesn't want his reputation to be ruined. As you can tell through his inclination for her to speak with the police the "he knows" not her attorney Baez. Again all this is seen on the video tapes. -explain that one- It's sad I've figured out the puzzle that links all of them to conspiracy of Caylee Anthony's murder.
I would render, if she does get the Death Penalty, in fairness her father George should get conspiracy charges, as well as Cindy...
Granted I'm not saying I'm 100% correct, but I don't like someone innocent sent to the Death Penalty-have you ever seen the Green Mile????
Mrs Post replied to Mrs.Post : I totally agree with you, I am so annoyed with how the media has her pegged as guilty. The defense has not even presented their case. I am with you it would be a complete injustice if Casey Anthony is innocent and get the death penalty.
IfYouSeekCasey replied to Mrs.Post : Mrs. Post, just how do you presume the human decomposition found its way into the spare tire well of Casey's car? Can you answer that? The injustice here is that a 2 1/2 year old, beautiful little girl is dead, her mother drove around with her body in her trunk for almost a week before discarding her like trash. All while "her mother was stealing, boozing, screwing and tattooing." as quoted by Mr. Mark Nejame, attorney.
Boop said: Little Caley is gone and the only one clearly
responsible for her ultimate fate is Casey Anthony.
It is apparent that Casey has a long history of
lying in addition to other underlying mental issues. I do not for one minute believe that she
is a victim of sexual or any other abuse.
I believe that this woman clearly is a sociopath.
For those in doubt read the definition.
Casey has been lying to and manipulating those around her for a long long time.
What happened is clear, the child was murdered.
Caley was born when Casey was 19, suddenly Casey
became 21 and wanted to join her friends and party as do most 21 year olds. She probably received quite a bit of reprimands from both her
mother and father about being a responsible mother so she needed to find a way to eliminate
little Caley from her life, she surely couldn't
just hand over the child, that would certainly
make her look like a unfit mother. She afterall has an image to maintain. She planned
her demise, the searches on her computer, neck breaking, cloroform, etc etc. these are not the average searches a person would make.
She wanted to be free of her responsibility and
to live and do as she pleased not having to report to her mother or father, that was not
possible since she lived under their roof and
accordingly did not have any means of supporting
herself.
Fact, Caley Anthony did not die naturally.
Caley Anthony did not die accidentally. No normal
reasonable person would plan an elaborate far
fetched story 3 years after the fact that the
child died in the swimming pool, well who put the
ladder up for her to climb into? Cindy testified
that she clearly remembered putting the ladder down upon exiting the pool that early summer evening.
Than George found his dead granddaugher, blamed
Casey for being a bad mother and decided to concoct a coverup and I'm sure he told Casey to
make up the Zanny the nanny character too. Than
the aliens came and picked up the body and took
her temporarily to another holding area and than
dropped her about a 1/4 mile from Casey's home.
Oh they also put duct tape on her mouth and nose.
Than they sent their messenger the meter reader to
try and find the exact location so that he could
get the reward money and split it with the aliens
and George and Casey. Yeah thats what happened !!
Fact: Casey Anthony had no intention of calling
anyone anytime soon and if Cindy hadn't went
with Amy to Lazarro's apartment she would have
continued to play her cat and mouse game for as
long as possible. Once she is cornered she comes
up with another story and on and on.
Fact: No mother on this earth who loves her child
would not immediately contact authority's period.
nanna replied to Boop : i am a faithful follower of this trial..i feel casey is...guilty..because for the 31 days she was...missing..casey partied and partied..and showed..no remorse..no concern, just plain feeling sick because of her missing daughter..and i dont believe..that george or lee molested her, and i cant see how she lived, paid her bills, and no job..she wanted attention..cayle prevented her from that in the way she wanted to...and her mother and her had a falling out ..and i think it was a month later..the baby was missing..caseys actions on film from being in jail, knowing full well that her baby was dead..just didnt have remorse like you would expect to see from a grieving loving mother..i do think..george either knows..or has a good idea what happened to the baby..but after the fact..and at his own admission, he would do what ever it took..to keep her from the death penalty..but she is the most dead panned face woman in that court room for having a murdered child its just hard for me to comprehend..and also..i just dont think for one moment..that george would allow that precious baby to be put in a sack and put in a pet cemetery and let her little body just rot away...i would say that that family has issues..but dont we all..in every family...no family is excempt from these things..but casey i feel, was resentful of having to be stuck, with raising a child and things just got out of control..not saying that she planned to kill the baby.but i do feel she is guilty..and her atty..i feel, if there were any truth to her accusations,about lee and george..he would have saved that and sprung that on the jury when his time came..but he used it in the beginning in my opinion, to plant that seed of doubt in the jurys mind up front to hopefully throw the blame on george and lee, indirectly..and...i realize we havent heard his arguments yet..but lets also remember..this is his first murder trial, he has only been an atty..for a few years, and for him to win this would put him on his way for a great law career..but we also have to remember, ....his job, is to try to prove she isnt guilty..thats his job..but what a major major boost to his career, if..he should get her off..but in my heart, and i am a grandmother of 6...george and cindy and lee, are not responsible for this precious babys death,..only casey is..she would be free to sleep around and party and drink and just enjoy..her life..but to know..that her baby is dead and had been for 31 days before telling george and cindy that she was missing is just terrible to me..and the way she has lied..there is no way i could believe anything that came from her mouth..i was touched by my father when i was about 6, but let me tell you..i didnt kill anyone..perhaps people are convicting her before the trial is over..but..she just never showed the remorse from day one, whether she killed the baby or not..i would have thought we would have seen a very saddened casey, not a party going animal who never once, mentioned to her friends as it was reported , that her baby was missing nor did any of her friends say that she acted as tho something was wrong, so guilty or not, she is the most disassociated individual i have ever seen..but because of the way she partied, in my mind, she was happy, enjoyed her freedom and just was dumb enough to think, that she could actually make that baby just go away, and that no one would ever find out..its just all about casey..and no one else is important..dont you think for one moment, after all this time in jail, and going thru this whole trial thus far, and the sick gruesome pictures she has had to look at, that if i was innocent, that whether my father did it or not..i would say enough is enough..i didnt do it but this is what happened..but she wont, because she is responsible in some way, for her babys death..thanks..this is just my opinion..and no i dont have any credentials..just a heart and soul..
GoodMommy replied to Boop : The Aliens also took the heart sticker from caseys bedroom and applied it over the duct tape! Cindy feels guilty and is now lying on the stand because she thinks she could have spared her daughter from this had she not called 911 that night.
I have a daughter Caylees age and this whole thing makes me sick! When you look at the pictures of Caylee there is a haunting look in her eyes. There was something bad going on in that little girls life whether it was her mother drugging her at night, ignoring her or being in a home full of anger and lying. Maybe she is in a better place. Better then being raised by a sociopath. Can you imagine the pain that little girl would have lived with growing older with that woman as her mother, if she really is a narcissistic and uninteretsted in being a mom as the media makes her. What really gets me is if this girl really was murdered, what was the last thought in her head as her mother killed her. Trust? Love? I really hope that it was an acsidental OD! My heart breaks for that liitle girl! I hope the correct justice is sereved
User4281 said: The point is this.
For those of you who never have undergone serious sexual or mental abuse, it is no surprise that you are the first to make judgements.
Dr. Drew is on point. He is accurate
IfYouSeekCasey replied to User4281 : You have clearly drank the Casey Kool-Aid. This case has absolutely NOTHING to do with sexual and/or mental ABUSE.
Casey was not sexually abused by her father, nor anyone, for that matter. If she had been, why for the love of God would she have raised Caylee in the same home, with the same 'alleged sexual abuser(s)'?
Would it not make more sense that Casey have obtained decent salaried employment and moved away from her parents (and alleged abuse) long before her pregnancy--if not for her own sanity?
Casey was a selfish brat who manipulated, lied to, and stole from her parents. The only thing George and Cindy Anthony are guilty of is not disciplining Casey to the fullest extent and allowing Casey to control the family dynamics.
Anyone who believes this sexual abuse allegation apparently has NOT been following this case from day one, which was July 16, 2008, when Cindy Anthony FINALLY stood up to Casey and called 911.
As for Dr. Drew...please. His bias changes with the wind.
