Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water, the shark-attack siren sounds.

On Tuesday in the Casey Anthony trial most of the witnesses and a few of the attorneys behaved in rather unexpected ways—unexpected at least by this mystery maven.

For fear of defaming any individual, I’m not going to be specific. But one thing I feel I learned from Tuesday’s testimony is that a lot of people have no qualms about lying under oath on TV in a high-profile trial. In addition, a lot of family members have no qualms about contradicting one another on the stand—family members who clearly love one another.

I think I’m safe in characterizing the attitudes of the attorneys, however. Prosecutor Drane-Burdick was sullen all day—as she was yesterday. Prosecutor Ashton was prissy and IMHO disingenuous in his constant surprise at the defense.

While the “chatters” on the various live-video websites were unanimously condemnatory of the defense team, I felt defense attorneys Baez and Mason behaved appropriately. They hammered away at their client’s accusers, including George Anthony and Roy Kronk.

Many interesting witnesses appeared outside the jury’s hearing, as well. Many of them won’t be permitted to testify—apparently. And I must say—as a former criminal-trial juror—it’s what the judge doesn’t let you hear that drives you wild after the trial when you find out about it.

But the jury did hear important evidence today and yesterday about the way in which Caylee Anthony’s remains were discovered. If I were on the Anthony jury—and obviously I am not—I would be very troubled by Roy Kronk’s testimony today and by Lee Anthony’s testimony about his mother’s sending a detective to investigate a psychic’s lead about the possibility that Caylee’s remains were in the woods near the Anthony home.

I’m not saying I would believe the defense theory that Kronk moved the remains around (other than his statement that he lifted the plastic bag and the skull fell out at his feet—which casts serious doubt on the CSI evidence). I’m saying that if I were asked whether Casey Anthony deposited Caylee’s remains with duct tape in the woods near her home, I would have to say I have a reasonable doubt.

But I want to be very clear: I am not an average person in any way. I am not an average juror. What I’m saying is that I was surprised to find that I served on a jury of other non-average jurors. There may be one of us on the Casey Anthony jury.

So, despite the foul-mouthed chatters on the various trial websites, I don’t think Casey Anthony is coming off as a cold-blooded killer.
