Casey was not under arrest at that time, they were doing an investigation as to what happened to her daughter and she led them through lie afer lie. Caylee's right to life was violated.

Sorry! You can listen to those tapes and tell that Casey DID NOT feel as if she were being interrogated. No Miranda Rights were violated.

She wasn't under arrest technically speaking. But she was a suspect. At one point, during the interrogation, the detective called her a "monster" and a cop would only use that language with a true blue suspect. "Monsters" are suspects, there is no way around it.

If it reaches that level, the Miranda Rights must be read in my opinion. The cops took advantage of her lack of education and violated her civil liberties.

Listen to the "interrogation" again-Casey was not called a monster! She was asked if she feared others might call her a monster. It was an investigation and she was very much free to leave as she wished. Hell! She could have stopped the "interrogation" at anytime and told the cop to take her home and he would have done it.

I totally agree with you Sherry. She didn't ask to leave because she liked all the attention she was getting. And frankly, I think she just likes to hear her own voice and she was marveling at how smart she was as she just kept spinning her yarn. She actually thought they were believing her.

True that, sitemama!

Sadly, it wasn't about her dead child, it was all about her. Again.

I Agree with Rev. John Betancourt on the issues of the obvious prejudice towards the defense, the juvenile behavior of the prosecutor and the Miranda Rights not being read to Casey. I know many believe that Casey killed her child. I am not a fan of Casey Anthony, but I do believe the law should be followed on Miranda Rights being read and that Judge Perry should not allow the prosecutors to mock the defense, they should show professionalism! I also believe that Judge Perry should be fair when objections take place on either side. This is about a fair trial. Whether or not one believes Casey is innocent or guilty!

Casey's lack of education? Please! ONE thing I will give Casey, she is not a dumb girl. She could look at a few objects or words in a room and create an entire story. She was able to get by w/o a job and get the things she wanted. She was able to go 31 days and live it up without anyone really catching on to the fact her daughter was gone. And lets not forget, her father is an ex cop...I am sure she knows a lot more than some about her rights!
