Casey Anthony “If Looks Could Kill…”

Here are some interesting photos of Casey Anthony in the courtroom a few days ago (Trial Day 38). She appears to be livid, and full of rage at her attorney, Jose Baez. You can watch the video here. When you see anger to this degree, it is your warning that the person could be very volatile–to take precautions.

At the bottom, I will put a picture of a convicted murderer, John Gardner, who gave this exact same expression in court when his only surviving victim spoke out in court.

Roy Kronk on the Stand: Honest or lying?

 Click on the photo above to see the video I reviewed

Roy Kronk took the stand today, and I absolutely believe he is telling the truth.  He is a stickler for details, ironically, and he rightfully corrects the defense attorney who questions him about calling 911.  He insists he did not call 911 and the defense attorney finally concedes he called the non-emergency number after checking with the prosecution.

I am not an expert in identifying disorders, but I have to wonder if Roy Kronk could have a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome.  He seems social awkward, like social interactions may be more challenging for him. He also seems emotionally dull.  When I watch him on the stand, his eyebrows are displaying stress to me.  I get the sense he doesn’t quite understand what the defense doesn’t get.  In his mind, he is stating the facts, so what is there to question?  People with this condition may also get interested in something, and get very absorbed into it– which is what I suspect happened with Kronk and his desire to find Caylee’s body.  He was probably more attuned to nuances than the average person and that is why his persistence and curiosity paid off. People with this condition are often more intelligent than average, too, and when you watch Kronk recall his details, he is steadfast with them.

You may notice Roy Kronk licking his lips.  To me, this is simply a sign of nervousness.  If you notice, when he does it, the questioning attorney has raised his voice, and I suspect Kronk is unconsciously stressing from that…feeling pressure.

I believe Roy Kronk is honest in the video above.

I will review George Anthony tomorrow.

George’s Alledged Mistress Krystal Holloway: My Thoughts

George Anthony’s alleged mistress, Krystal Holloway, aka “River Cruz”, is quite an interesting person to analyze.  She was in the news in March 2010 when it was reported that she had an affair with George Anthony.  She and her twin sister, Cecelia, spoke out to the media.  You can watch Krystal here.  This video is full of hotspots by both Krystal and her sister, Cecelia, but Krystal didn’t talk about the affair with George. When I originally saw this, I did not believe the sisters story that they were unmotivated by money.

Krystal’s sister, Cecelia, says there is no money motive, and Krystal confirmed it, however, shortly after this, Nancy Grace broke the story that the sisters did do a story with the National Enquirer. Nancy held up the tabloid on her show. Clearly, the article in the Enquirer outed the sisters and it didn’t bode well that Krystal or her sister, are honest women.

Furthermore, I uncovered the transcript of when Krystal Holloway, aka River Cruz, talked to the Orange County Sheriff’s office about what she knew about George Anthony. Krystal talks about her relationship with George and what George supposedly told her about Caylee’s death. 

The investigator says on page 10 asks Krystal, “Did you and George ever become romantically involved?”  Krystal says, “No, we didn’t.”  The investigator confirms this again to which Krystal reiterates the word, “No” a second time.

Krystal’s speech is loaded with a lot of false starts–sentence starts and stops that ultimately go another direction, and she doesn’t give solid statements. She doesn’t answer direct question asked of her and she rambles on about unrelated things–all hallmarks of a less than honest person.

When asked how it all started with George, she says, “… I don’t…I don’t even know how it started.”

She is not a credible person, if you ask me.  The defense would be insane to put her on the stand.  It would be a move of incredible desperation because if I were a prosecutor, I’d shred her to bits.

The investigator asked, “What can you tell me about it [the relationship between Krystal and George]?”

Krystal says, “Well, we would sit and talk for hours, you know, and I would feel bad, and he would tell me about, um, the baby. You know, and how he would sing and talk, you know, and things he would do.”

Krystal talked about how she would visit George’s house and how George thought his house was bugged, but when questioned about it directly, Krystal waffles.

The investigator says, “Did he [George] say the house was bugged, or why did you believe the house was bugged?”

Krystal says, “He didn’t outright say the house was bugged, but I kind of know from his conversation, you know like…”  Krystal stops talking at this point.

Krystal is very evasive in many of her answers. She hits me as someone who takes shreds of the truth and spins it to what she wants to the story to be.  I also wonder if she met the Anthonys on purpose–so she could “sell a story”.

When you look at what Krystal tells the investigators George supposedly said about what happened to Caylee, and that it was an accident–it’s fascinating.

The investigator asks Krystal, “Did he tell you what he thought happened to the child?” (page 16).

Krystal says, “Yeah.”

“What did he say?” asks the investigator.

Krystal says, “He said it was an accident…that went wrong, and it just snowballed. And he said you know how you tell a small lie?  And he just tried to cover it up and it just got really big and was just…it went out of control.”

If you notice, Krystal has no memory of a conversation, like, “George said to me that Casey had an accident, and she lied about it, and I’ve had to cover it up.”   She lacks honest memory recall–actual words spoken– as well as details about what was said specifically, like, “We were talking about Casey, when he said it was an accident and Casey’s lies have spiraled out of control.”  Both of which are big red flags.

The investigator says, “Did he explain it to you?  Did he give you more than that?”  Krystal says no.  Her answer is very suspect–much of what Krystal says is suspect.

But then I believe Krystal admits to the truth when she says, “He…he just said that ‘I really believe it was an accident.'”  That my dear friends is the truth!! 

Why would George want to believe anything else at that point?

If you notice, Krystal has memory recall of actual words said and gives details here, which were missing before.  However, Krystal wants us to believe it was more than that–possibly for fame and fortune.  If you notice, she then finishes that statement with, “And it just went wrong and she tried to cover it up.”

The investigator says, “Did he say to you that Casey had told him it was an accident, or was this something you believed?”

Krystal proves my point when she responds. She says, “He didn’t say that.” [Page 17] Yet she rambles on again trying to convince the investigator.

The woman is clearly not trustworthy!  She shows many hallmarks of a liar and I suspect an opportunist, and Krystal even tells us herself that she is a liar.  On page 19, she says, “I mean, I’ve lied. I’ve done my fair share of things in life that I am not proud of.”

Is this another Krystal?

If Krystal takes the stand, she will be fun to dissect without a doubt, but in my opinion she will be an absolute train wreck.

BTW, Krystal has an arrest record for theft and burglary as well.

I rest my case.

Casey Anthony’s Emotions

Many of you have requested that I review a video of Casey Anthony, that is void of audio, showing Casey after her mom Cindy testified in her trial.

Starting at 0:16-0:20, we see Casey display anger as she lowers her eyebrows and points her finger as she is talking.  Her emotions then morph into sadness.  Look at how her eyebrows knit together and raise up in the middle. If you look, you will also see stress lines in Casey’s forehead.  Casey then shakes her head, as if in disbelief, as she appears to potentially blow her nose from the tears she is shedding.

Casey starts talking at around 0:31 and says, “She….(blah, blah, blah)” as she then points her finger.  You can clearly tell she is frustrated by her mom or whoever she is talking about.  I suspect they did not do what Casey wanted. Casey also displays oblique eyebrows again, which I interpret as genuine sadness.

The camera zooms in and we see Casey shake her head no. I suspect she is in disbelief at something her mom said on the stand that she does not agree with, and she can’t believe it. At 0:40, Casey displays anger again and we see she is clearly frustrated as she speaks.  At one point, she says the word “Nothing”…Maybe Casey was hoping her mom would say something about something and she didn’t?  It’s hard to say, but Casey is clearly upset and angry. Her emotions are genuine.

At around 1:34, Casey spouts off to the woman she is talking to. We see her confident and arrogant in whatever she is saying, which is interesting, considering all that Casey is going through. Then around 1:42, Casey seems to be saying something like “It just hurts so bad.”  What is interesting is she is likely reflecting on something her mother did or didn’t say, or did or didn’t do — but she never get this emotion when it comes to Caylee. We’ve never heard her say once, “It just hurts so bad” when speaking of Caylee.  It’s eye-opening, without a doubt.

At 1:50, we see Casey talk again in anger.  I suspect she says, “She…(blah, blah, blah)”

I think one can strongly conclude that Casey is not happy with what her mother did during her testimony.  Whatever happened clearly makes Casey angry, upset, and in a state of disbelief.  At the end of the video, whatever the woman says to Casey, seems to calm her down.

Did George Anthony Sexually Abuse his Daughter?

Yesterday the Casey Anthony defense team dropped a bombshell.  Not only did they say that Casey did not kill Caylee, but she didn’t even find nor dispose of her body.  Who did?  Her father, George Anthony.  But it gets worse.  Not only did she have nothing to do with the tragedy, but she now claims that she was a victim of sexual abuse.

We had heard about letters that Casey Anthony wrote from jail, but few people gave them any credence at the time because so much of what Casey Anthony said was lies.  Do you remember those letters?  In a letter to another inmate, Casey wrote after accusing her brother of inappropriate behavior, “I think my Dad used to do the same thing to me, but when I was much younger.  I can see him in my room exactly the way it was when I was in elementary school and everything gets fuzzy.”

The words “I think” are important here.  Casey doesn’t seem to have any clear memories, which I would expect if she is claiming in court that she was abused by her father.  This is a red flag for me.

According to this MSNBC article (link above), Casey allegedly told the police she had intercourse with Lee for three years until she was 15.  If her dad abused her, too, why wouldn’t she have said that then?  Why would she throw Lee under the bus and not her dad?

In my eyes, Casey is not able to speak the truth and is willing to lie at the drop of the hat, so we have no reason to put any credence in this claim unless we see or hear something that truly gives this claim validity.  In watching George, I don’t see any clues that he is lying, but I would like to see him or Casey talk more about this before I draw any final conclusions.
