LAUREN ASTLEY 'TERRIFIED' OF NATHANIEL FUJITA

NOT GUILTY?

HIGH school football star Nathaniel Fujita has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his long time former girlfriend Lauren Astley.
Meanwhile, pals claim the pretty brunette was "afraid" of him.
Her boss told the Boston Herald, Astley was bothered by repeated phone calls and text messages from Fujita in the hours before authorities say he strangled her with a bungee cord, cut her throat and dumped her in a mars.

Store manager Maeghen Reineke, 26, said Fujita wanted to come to the store and speak to her there. “She was just like, ‘No, no, don’t do that. We’ll talk later,’ ” Reineke said. Reineke said Astley told her Fujita “wasn’t acting normal. She wanted to be done with all of it.
She didn’t want anything to do with him.”

Cops claim the 18-year-old was furious about the couple's recent split so he attacked her with a knife, slashing a huge gaping wound into her throat and wrapping a bungee cord around her neck.
A bicyclist found Astley's body in a marshy area near Sudbury, west of Boston, Monday morning.
Searching his home officer's found blood found on a door handle, the kitchen floor, the kitchen sink and a bathroom sink.
They later found Fujita's bloody clothes and sneakers in a crawl space by his bedroom and that the clothes also had dirt consistent with being in a marsh.
According to prosecutors, Astley and Fujita exchanged phone calls while at she was at work and she told co-workers she was going to meet him when her shift was done.
Fujita later told police on three occasions that he had spoken with Astley briefly at his home. He said she had parked her car up the road and left after short, “awkward” conversation.
But Fujita who was accepted and planned to attend Trinity College, where he was recruited to play football, has denied killing  his ex but nonetheless the judge ordered him  held without bail.
He is charged with first-degree murder.

CASEY ANTHONY: THE MOMENT SHE WAS CLEARED

THIS is the amazing moment when Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her daughter, Caylee:

Clearly shaken, the one time party mom shed a few tears as the clerk of the court read the astonishing verdict that she was cleared of the murder.

Crowds gasped outside the courtroom as the 25-year-old mother was found not guilty of drugging her young daughter, suffocating her and dumping her body in overgrown woodland after a compelling six-week trial, which has seen a family torn apart by accusations of rape and incest.
Some are already calling it the most controversial court verdict since OJ Simpson was cleared of murdering his wife Nicole and her lover Ron Goldman. 
Quite what now lies in store for the Anthony family remains to be seen, after her lawyers accused her father George of abusing her and dumping Caylee's body after she drowned in the family pool.
Her lawyer Jose Baez also implied that her brother Lee fathered Caylee. 
In a statement they said: "While the family may never know what has happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter of their life. They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.
"Despite the baseless defense chosen by Casey Anthony, the family believes that the jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented, the testimony presented, the scientific information presented and the rules that were given to them by the Honourable Judge Perry to guide them.
"The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately."

 
 

CASEY ANTHONY SHOCK VERDICT! PARTY MOM WALKS IN STUNNING NOT GUILTY DECISION; APPEAL LIKELY

WHAT ABOUT ME?

'I AM SO READY TO P.A.R.T.Y.'

CASEY ANTHONY'S legal team proved Tuesday that bullshit does indeed baffle brains.Twelve of Florida's biggest fans of CSI: Orlando found the hard-partying monster mom not guilty of first-degree murder. Can you believe it? We can't. Anthony, 25, was cleared of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008. She could have gotten the needle for the evil deed. She was also cleared of manslaughter. She was found guilty of lying to cops. Huh? After the verdicts were read, the promiscuous Party Mom hugged her lawyers. The five-man, seven-woman
jury needed just 10 hours over two days to digest 33 days of testimony and two days of closing arguments - and reach a verdict in a nationally televised soap opera of a trial.
Reaction outside the Orlando courthouse was shock.
The prosecution believed Casey smothered her daughter to death because the little girl was interfering with her party lifestyle--which no one ever managed to explain how she could afford it. In the days before Caylee idea, the boozing bimbo wrote in her diary: "I completely trust my own judgement & know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means. ... I am finally happy."
The defense claimed--what didn't they claim?--during the trial the child drowned in the pool and Casey's dad George helped cover it up, oh, and he may have molested her, oh, and she may have been illegitimate.
Of course, there was a truckload of circumstantial evidence--including the multitude of lies the sexy brunette told detectives. After all, when your kid disappears, you don't tell cops for a month, right?
