fiancee testified about the amazing bond, unquote that casey had with her little girl caylee. prosecutors paint casey as a party girl who bragged about being a good liar and who was a victim of sexual abuse. let s get into some of the details with dwayne cates a defense attorney. anita kay is a former sex crimes prosecutor. anita to you first, the notion of painting her as an abuse victim at the hands of her own father, perhaps, what is that supposed to do for the jury, maybe them feel sorry for this woman? absolutely they are going to feel sorry for casey, and they want to explain her bizarre behavior by claiming she is a sex-abuse victim. the thing is jose ba ez, we were all shocked when we heard that opening statement. let s not forget. opening statement is no evidence. there is no evidence of that. casey anthony better get on the stand and try to explain that if anybody is going to buy that
