Mother accused in the death of the child crying closing arguments - Boston Globe

ORLANDO - Casey Anthony briefly broken crying yesterday as prosecutors told jurors in closing arguments that she has murdered her 2 daughter Caylee because the child was prevented from having a relationship with a sponsor of the club.

Attorney Jeff Ashton said anthony wanted a relationship with her boyfriend, to go out with friends and to live the carefree life that she had prior to the birth of the Caylee.

Ashton "" something had to be sacrificed, that something was the life she wanted or life thrust on it, "said during his 90-minute hearing." "She chooses to sacrifice his child. »

Prosecutors argue that caylee was suffocated with duct tape by a mother who manufactured and developed lies to mislead investigators and her parents. Defense attorneys countered that the toddler accidentally drowned in the family pool, and that his mother actually hiding emotional distress caused by the allegation of sexual abuse of his father. His father denied the accusation.

Judge Belvin Perry decided yesterday morning that no there is no evidence d'une such charge and that the defence could not make reference to it dans closing arguments. But Perry indicated the defence could again be drowning because theory "is a reasonable inference can be drawn" to suggest. "

Jose Baez defence counsel began his closing argument by telling the jury that they have more questions than answers, including the largest: how Caylee is dead? Counsel or defence provided firm evidence of how she died.

"It can never be proved,", he said. " He said that alone should give them all reasonable doubt that Anthony killed his daughter.

He said prosecutors is so low that they tried to portray Anthony as a promiscuous liar and influence the jury "rather that give the standard which is granted to every citizen in our country." "

Baez said forensic evidence of prosecutors are based on a "fantasy". " He said analysis the continuation of the air in the trunk of the car of Anthony, which would have shown consistent with decomposition air molecules, could not be duplicated. He said that no one could prove to be a spot found in the trunk was caused by the body of the Caylee decomposing it.

And witnesses showed maggots were found in the trunk comes from a garbage bag that are there, he said.

"They throw enough against the wall and see what that sticks," Baez said. "This is what they are doing... until the cause of death. »

Earlier in the proceedings of Ashton, Anthony appears especially pontificating to subject the first 45 minutes, but then she closed eyes and rested his Chin on his hand. She began to cry when Ashton said that the history which are drowned Caylee was also false.

Ashton said death of Caylee was not an accident because three pieces of tape were placed on his face - on the mouth, one on the nose and on those to be "comprehensive". "

Jury begins deliberation today, the judge said. Anthony could face a death sentence as possible or in perpetuity if recognized guilty of first degree murder.

Casey Anthony trial: George Anthony admits having covering the death of Caylee? -Etidbits.com

In what could be the last week of trial Casey Anthony in Orlando, Florida, meter reader Roy Kronk took on the stand and revealed that his calls to the police are unnoticed, after it was initially reported that he saw something suspicious in the Woods where the daughter of Anthony Caylee was buried, and that the body of Caylee Anthony could be discovered up to 4 months earlier, if the police did a search of the wood.

Kronk revealed in court Tuesday that he initially challenged when he first find what he believed to be a human skull (which would later be revealed for Caylee), he said to his colleague to accompany him to display the object in question. When Kronk and his friend go to investigate it, they find a dead Rattle snake, them distract what they came to see, according to Kronk. He would be back again and were reportedly alerted police three days in a row - between 11 August and 13 August - and when the police encounters with him for the object in question, they could not detect anything.

The police would find possibly skull of Caylee after Kronk is the site of the skull of the Caylee four months later in December 2008 and he was called once more their. "I was behind it, so I was looking for it by behind very gently, I took [my counter drive stick] and put it in the support of the right eye," Kronk told the Court Tuesday. "I he picked up and put it back down." I up with the bat. "I rotated gently ultraportatif [he] has not been stuck in the mud, he was not stuck in what whatsoever".

Another bomb took place in the Court Tuesday when a woman named Krystal Holloway, who helped search for Caylee after that it disappeared in the summer 2008, claims that she and the father of Casey George would have a link. Why is it important to the case? Although it has yet to take the position, she alleged that George once revealed to her that the death of Caylee was a "accident that were out of control". If true and she ends up taking the stand, it could potentially defence putting doubt in the minds of the jury that the father of Casey Anthony had a hand in covering up the death of her granddaughter, who refused him up to this point.

Officials probe "rare" massive death of birds in two States - CNN International

National Wildlife Federation scientist, explains recent mass dead birds were unusual, but not unprecedented.Thousands bird died suddenly Friday night in two separate locationsExperts suspect something panicked chaotic flying birds and possible Eve new year's Fireworks crashesIt has attracted a mass deathsScientists call the magnitude of these unusual deaths, but not unprecedented

(CNN) – some of the best experts of the nation Tuesday were seeking clues about the sudden death, the mass of the bird in two States new year's weekend.

"It is unusual because of the period on which all birds dead," says LeAnn White, national wildlife health center field investigator in Madison (Wisconsin). Centre, part of the U.S. Geological Survey, receives samples of Arkansas, where up to 5,000 Blackbirds and starlings fell from the sky miles square in less than an hour on the eve of new year's Eve, according to the Commission of game and fish Arkansas area.

The centre will focus on samples of Louisiana, where the Red-Winged Blackbird 500 starlings and bronzés were found dead in LaBarre.

A preliminary report carried out by the Commission of poultry and livestock Arkansas Monday found that birds in Beebe, Arkansas, probably as a result of massive trauma.

There were reports of intense in Beebe sounds until birds falling reports are starting to come. It is possible the sounds that birds disoriented, and they went into sudden and chaotic, flight crashed in the other and objects, said White. "You're disturbed, you're confused, you try to know where you are." "We have seen things like this before when it is dense fog and they run in towers and electric lines," she says.

Other bird experts agree it's a plausible explanation. But the sudden death are quite unusual. "It's a freak, event type," said Greg Butcher, Director of the conservation of birds of the National Audubon Society. "You just see this kind of massive death very often at all."

In this time of year, Blackbirds are in huge deposits, particularly in South-East of the United States, he said. They are generally not fly at night.

"In the course of a year, half the birds are around die - even under the best circumstances." The bird life is short and sharp. "But it happens just generally out of sight of people," said Boucher.

It is possible that the loud noise that triggered the incident was fireworks on the eve of the day of the year, although officials said the investigation is underway.

"If it was all the other days of the week," said Butcher, it could suspected of people behind death. "" "" There are many voluntary murders. ... People really don't like these large deposits. But I see someone who is on the eve of the day of the year.

Doug Inkley, senior researcher with the National Wildlife Federation said his "first suspicion is that they were frightened and went into a mass panic."

"I would call this unusual event," he said, "but without previous step.

Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and fish Commission said bird shown signs of trauma in breast tissue, with the formation of blood clots in the cavity and a lot of internal bleeding. All major organs were normal.

Karen Rowe, an ornithologist from the commission, said that these incidents can be caused by a lightning and hail high-altitude. A strong storm system crossed State earlier in the day Friday.

CNN experts speak with saw nothing surprising in that there is a similar report from the bird died in Louisiana. "This is one of these coincidences," says White, adding, I'm really interested see if there is anything that can potentially be linked. I asked it y weather conditions. It is sometimes hail high-altitude. But, she says, until now officials were unaware of "any strange weather" in the region.

Butcher with the National Audubon Society, said that there may be reports more dead birds found throughout the country. "As soon as one of these things hitting the waves, people are just more sensitive to see around dead birds."

In the meantime, Arkansas officials are investigating the estimated 100,000 fish death in the Northwest of the State, but suspect disease was to blame, a State spokesman said Sunday.

The reported death of 44 Alireza Pahlavi, at his home in Boston roiled by Iranian authorities around the world over that time of grief, symbolizing, for many, another link lost at the time before the Islamic revolution of 1979 overthrew the Western-backed shah.

In Iran, official Islamic Republic News Agency conducted a brief history which has been the most popular in the early Wednesday. The Web site of State press TV made a factual account of the death under the title: "Son of the former dictator of the Iran kills himself."

Web sites and social media - which have become a vital for opposition movements Iran - also became the main forums for the reaction to the death of Pahlavi, who had fought depression since his sister was reportedly died in overdose almost a decade ago.

For years, he had himself immersed in academia and leave his elder brother, Reza Pahlavi, take the primary role policy as a figure in the Iranian exiles. Is there no apparent link political death.

Reza Pahlavi - official Web site announced the death of his brother - postings have a study on the frustrations of Iranian emigres. Offered condolences, but many messages turned into rage that Islamic theocracy in the power of the Iran remains strong in the control and how to return to the Iran emigres dreams are distant.

"Where is the justice of God." Hell is too good of a place for those who have taken our country and caused much suffering, stated a position.

The shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, died of cancer in Egypt, one year after his departure Iran shortly before the defeat of his other forces in 1979. The new Islamic State quickly became an arch-enemy of the United States after activists - angry over American support for the shah - stormed the Embassy of the United States and 52 hostage for 444 days.

Family of the shah, in the meantime, sought refuge in exile, and many members settled finally to United States where they carry no real political weight in the Iranian opposition.

Youngest son of the monarch, Alireza, was born in Tehran, then attended schools in New York, Cairo, and Western Massachusetts to study music at a graduated from undergraduate at Princeton University, ancient Iranian as a student at Columbia University studies and work at Harvard University graduate.

But it is apparently struggled with depression following the death of his Leila sister in 2001, which was found in a London hotel room 31 years after overdosing on barbiturates.

"Once again we're attached to mother, father and friends of victims dark both of these periods of our country," his brother wrote on his website, announcing the death.

"The Shah depression" was increased to time - leaving Iran in exile, the death of his father and then his sister which was very close, "said Nazi Eftekhari, who works in the Office of Reza Pahlavi in Washington and is a close family friend."

She said: "the death was a huge blow him."

Boston police said they found a man died from a self-inflicted bullet Tuesday to a House apparently shortly after 2 p.m. in the neighborhood of South End of the city.

Police would not confirm the identity of the man, but an official act of law was not authorized to release the identity of the man and requested anonymity application confirmed that the man was Alireza Pahlavi.

A police officer saw Tuesday afternoon goes in and out of the apartment of Boston's Shah and speaking with representatives of families, who would not talk to reporters.

A neighbour, Dan Phillips, 42, said that he did not personally know Pahlavi but recognized her photo and was described as a person who was very social and got "which always dressed very dapper."

"I would always see him walking here and he used to wear blue jeans and a blazer", said Phillips.

In a statement, Trita Parsi, President of the Council American national Iranian, stated that "the Iranian-American community has been deeply saddened by the news of this tragedy."

"There are many divisions in the community, but a day like this, I think that we are all United in sympathy with the Pahlavi family for their loss tragic and painful," Parsi said.

Reza Pahlavi, which is based in the United States delivered in opposition to the administrative system. But it has almost no influence on current Iran as Mir Hussein Moussavi, opposition leaders have called into question the system to power after the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009.

Protests and clashes after vote marked the worst Iran internal disorders since the Islamic revolution.

Pahlavi lead in Boston on Wednesday, Eftekhari said, and it was expecting mother, former Empress Farah Pahlavi, in Paris, thus going.

Eftekhari said that without funeral arrangements have yet occurred.
