As the jury prepares to be charged with deciding the fate of Casey Anthony, on Thursday night CNN released new video of her when she was at a birthday party at the age of six. The video was shot by the mother of the little girl having the birthday party. Folks, this is some amazing video and it is striking how much Casey looked like Caylee when she was a little girl.
While watching this video of Casey Anthony as a young girl and seeing how her mother Cindy was treating her back then - the contrast between the way Casey and Caylee were raised was very different. As this trial winds down and millions of people try to make sense of why Caylee died, this video does give some insight into the personality of Casey Anthony when she was just a little girl, too.

Smell Of Death Can Off-Limits To Jury (Casey Anthony Trial)
When the Casey Anthony jury begins their deliberations in a few days, all of the evidence that was presented in open court will be available for their inspection with the exception of one. The now famous "smell of death can" that was introduced into evidence by the prosecution will not be allowed back in the jury room during deliberations.
On Thursday, June 30 2011, Judge Belvin Perry ruled that jurors would not be able to examine or smell that can because it would be prejudicial by offering new evidence into the case without Casey Anthony's attorney's being able to have a rebuttal. Judge Perry said that it was possible that one of the jurors has smell a dead body before and that person would have great sway over the rest of the jurors if that evidence was allowed to be sampled during deliberations.

Middle Finger Of Affection Sends Man To Jail (Casey Anthony Trial)
In the video below, you may watch a spectator at the Casey Anthony murder trial on Thursday first get dressed down by Judge Belvin Perry and then be sent to jail for contempt of court for six days. This spectator, who I will not reward by sharing his name with you - decided that it would be a good idea to flip off Jeff Ashton the lead prosecutor in this case while court was in session.
I'm not sure if this guy was looking for his 15-minutes of fame or what, but tonight he is in the same county jail as Casey Anthony. I have seen the lines of crazy people on TV waiting hours in line just to get a seat in the court room while the Casey Anthony murder trial is in session. I personally just chalk this guy up as a crazy dude who thought everyone would think it was funny if he flipped off the prosecutor in this case.

How Long Will It Take Casey Anthony's Jury To Reach A Verdict?
Right now, it appears that the jury will be given the Casey Anthony case on Saturday. Then the big question will be, how long will they deliberate before reaching a verdict? While I believe their verdict will be a fast one of guilty, a long time ago I quit trying to figure out what juries will do in a high profile murder case. Anyone remember the OJ murder trial?
There is another wildcard when it comes to the Casey Anthony jury, because there is at least one member who told the judge during jury selection that she did not like to sit in judgement of others. I'm not sure why she was not excused, but she was not. The TV cable news networks are already advertising that they will be on jury watch through the holiday weekend.

Prosecutor Jeff Ashton Closing Arguments July 1 2011 (Casey Anthony Trial)
The Casey Anthony murder trial could end today, Friday July 1 2011, when Jose Baez and prosecutor Jeff Ashton offer their closing arguments. There is still some unfinished business left for this mornings session, but by Friday afternoon both Baez and Ashton should be finished with their closing arguments.
I have been surprised that so many people are quick to believe the story that Baez put out about Casey being abused to the point she does not know how to tell the truth. I am also surprised that Casey Anthony did not take the witness stand in her own defense, but frankly that decision was the right one for her - because prosecutor Jeff Ashton would have torn her to pieces. Soon, the jury will pronounce their judgement on Casey Marie Anthony.
