According to an updated Wesh 2 news report based on the documents released Friday, Orlando Defense Attorney Richard Hornsby is strongly recommending the defense for Casey Anthony reconsider their “all or nothing strategy”. Check it out:
Mr. Hornsby had some very interesting things to say, like:
“My reaction is now I understand why the state attorney is seeking the death penalty. You now have the premeditation filled in. You now have the cause of death filled in,” (speaking about the documents)
“They confirm Caylee was dead at the time Casey had the car. In fact, she was trying to conceal the car from everybody else,” (speaking about the coffin flies)
“The chloroform is the smoking gun. It’s the nail in the coffin, and the duct tape supports the imposition of the death penalty,”
I must say I completely agree with his analysis. I gave you my take on the docs already and I think Mr. Hornsby and I have a lot in common in our thinking here. I agree with him 100%! I find it very interesting that the defense has not responded this time. No comments, no media circus, no Geraldo At Large, nothing. That’s a bit out of character for the “dream team”. I think this latest was a pretty big blow, and maybe it is time they rethink the strategy, as the previous gamble hasn’t been working, and they’ve got to come up with some info come February to back up their previous claims. I don’t see them having it.
In other news, as most of you all know, Bill Sheaffer now has a blog on wordpress:
There’s been a lot of campaigning lately in regards to the Orlando Orbbies blog competition, over at the Orlando Sentinel. I just wanted to make some clarifications. One, you do not have to live in Orlando to vote for the blogs. Two, you can vote for whatever blogs you like. Three, if you vote more than once per day, each vote over one (in each category) will override the first vote. I do recommend that you take the time and visit over there and look at some of the blogs in the running. Voting ends November 20th, at 5pm Eastern.
You do have to register to vote. When you try and vote (if you are not registered) it will lead you through the process, and it is a secure connection.
There are some very good blogs in the running and you are not locked into voting for a specific blog. This has nothing to do with Caylee or Casey, so vote for the best ones you see. I only mentioned and tagged their names to this, to point out that voting for a particular blog does not in any way help the cause for Justice For Caylee. If that particular blog is your fav, by all means vote for it, if not, then don’t. Take a look at all of them, if you have the time. Just being fair and balanced.
I finished reading the latest document dump last night, and I must say it left me like this . There was a lot of stuff I didn’t expect to see. Those entomology reports were there, although, I’m thinking there was more to those, and we just saw part of that. At any rate there were Coffin Flies in the trunk of the car, and that means it wasn’t pizza in the trunk, or any rotting garbage, it was Caylee. Caylee was in the trunk of that car, and there is no doubt. She was there and she was decomposing in there. I also noticed from this report that the insects tell a story that completely supports Caylee’s remains being in the trunk for a few days, then being at the site, and then being submerged under water, thus delaying the life cycle of some of these insects. This totally blows Todd Macaluso’s statement that someone else placed the body there while Casey was in jail. NOT!!! I knew he was just running his mouth and this proves it.
Now I have to say that while the charts and graphs and evidence lists were a lot to go through, especially the chemistry. A lot of that, you’d have to be a chemist to understand. Although, I did my best. At any rate that pesky Gatorade Cool Blue bottle with the unknown substance and the syringe was finally revealed to us, as to what the contents were. That particular item has bugged me for a long time. I really felt like it had a play in Caylee’s death. It was just a gut feeling and until this document dump had not been addressed, except to be on evidence lists. This bottle was found in the Wonderful World Of Disney bag, that was with her remains, and that bag had had diapers and such in it. The shocker , it contained chloroform and a steroid(testosterone), along with a syringe, and a needle (used), and these items contained the mixture. Of course the packaging to the needle and syringe were there, but they were used. It looks to me as though by the time this goes to trial they will have a “cause of death”, poison. She injected her with poison, duct taped her mouth and threw her in the trunk where the child in her last moments of life, put herself in the fetal position, and passed on. Thus the picture of the small child in the fetal position in the trunk. The decomposing body fluids in the carpet left this image, and while they may not use it, it explains it. Some of you have brought forward that this little cocktail mixture is used for sex. I’ve read all of that, and I can honestly say that to me if Casey is that perverted, and shallow, she’s just pure evil.
What’s amazing to me is that Casey went through with this elaborate, diabolical plan, and was stupid enough to leave the evidence behind, from the car to the scene, she left a trail. She even started the trail with the computer searches and the lies. She has herself so caught, it’s just amazing.
Now, I must say that there is a lot of evidence we still haven’t seen, for one, they lifted latent prints from those items and others, and we haven’t seen those results. I saw a lot of things tested that there were no results for. We got just enough in this round of documents, to show us that what Casey’s defense keeps saying is all bogus. Caylee was in the car and then those woods, she was not moved to an additional, undisclosed location, by a mystery person, in between. Her remains again, were proven to have been under water for a time. Therefore, Jose Baez, Andrea Lyon, Todd Macaluso, and Linda Kenney Baden are telling tall tales, and they know it. I think this is why those particular motions were filed before these documents came out. You know the ones, where they want the indictment overturned as they have no defense. Trying to have the DP dropped again. That’s the bottom line…….They have no defense, and they played this all wrong. Mr. Baez and his gang, banked on that baby’s remains, and all the evidence left with her remains never being found, and it was a bad call. They should have plead this out a long time ago, and now that window of opportunity has been closing.
Now I think it’s clear why the A’s needed a cruise at that time. Not defending them mind you, but I can see why they needed to get away. I hope they enjoyed themselves, and the tats, George’s earrings, the new fashion and hair styles, and all of the extravagant living, because the gig is just about up. When this case is over, I don’t think the media will give them the time of day, and the money will dry up, and then they have to live with themselves.
Apparently the document dump today will contain information we have never seen before. Wesh 2 is reporting there are 34 sets of documents on computer file.
There you have it all 34 sets of documents, I labeled them as best I could, with skimming through. Lot’s of reading to do. I think Casey is sunk with this one. I will post my take on all this over the weekend. Local 6 put it all out there, so nicely and neatly, it was a big help. All the documents came from Local 6.
That’s right, tomorrow, the State will be releasing hundreds more pages of documents in Caylee’s case. There is no indication, what the docs will contain, but the defense already has them. We were waiting for a new doc dump, as we know the defense did receive more discovery in the past few weeks.
Of course as usual I don’t expect it to be the really damning stuff, but we will still get some new info.
7 month old Shannon Dedrick had been missing 5 days from Chipley Florida. Apparently authorities had come to notice that the baby sitter for the Shannon had written a letter to Governor Crist asking him to save Shannon from her drug abusing parents. DCF did investigate and found the child to not be in any danger.
Authorities had been searching extensively around the home where Shannon lived. She was reported missing Saturday morning, around 11 am, and it was reported they last saw her at 3am
After investigating the babysitter and that letter she wrote, it came to the attention of authorities that this woman could be responsible for child abuse against her step-daughter, and was and is a suspect in her step-son’s disappearance, a case that went cold years ago.
Shannon was found in a box under Susan Baker’s(the babysitter) bed. Shannon is alive and healthy. Susan is apparently related to the Shannon’s father, yet he is not suspected in this whole thing, while Shannon’s mother is.
I’m very thankful that Shannon was found unharmed. I hope they get to the bottom of this and find out the truth of what was going on. I also hope that maybe this will lead authorities to find out what happened to Paul, Susan’s 3 year old step-son, whose been missing since 1987. Apparently that happened in the Carolinas and Paul’s father was also a suspect in that one, as he is in Shannon’s case.
Update: This is an update on Shannon’s story, complete with the charges for the 3 accused. It appears that Shannon’s mom gave her to the babysitter. Also the step-daughter of Susan Baker, that was abused, was apparently her husband James’ sister.
Apparently Casey’s defense has filed some new motions. They are trying to get the death penalty removed again, siting 2 issues. 1.They claim prosecutors are using the death penalty as a tactical move to get a “conviction prone jury”, in spite of the fact they claim that the State does not have evidence to support a capital case. 2.The motion also claims that the State does not have proof of “aggravating circumstances” in Caylee’s murder, or simply put they can’t prove that Caylee’s murder was done in a cold, calculating and premeditated manner.
The defense is also seeking to have the murder indictment dropped, siting it is defective and doesn’t include “the essential facts constituting the offense charged.”
“Without any facts to refute, Miss Anthony cannot formulate a defense,” the motion claims. “Is Miss Anthony to try to dream up all these ways and marshal a defense to them all? Provide alibis for every potential scenario, every date and time the state might consider in the range of dates they discuss? The prospect is absurd.” They are claiming that the burden of proof is shifted to Casey rather than the State.
They are also seeking to have most of the check fraud charges dropped. They are claiming that the State has charged Casey with 3 counts for each check, thus she’s facing Double Jeopardy.
In my personal opinion, I think they are trying to steer away from Todd Macaluso’s previous claims of Casey’s innocence and that someone else placed Caylee’s remains in the woods while Casey was in jail. Those famous statements that caused Judge Strickland to give them the February deadline in the last hearing. The deadline that requires them to provide proof of those claims, witness lists, and evidence to support them.
Now I have a real problem with the fact that they claim that the State has no proof that Caylee’s murder was cold, calculated and premeditated. To me if a mother kills her child, that is cold and calculating. As far as premeditation, well, let’s see, there was only one shirt, and one pair of shorts found with the remains, and no other articles of clothing were found in the car. Who takes a 2 year old away from home for an intentionally extended period of time and takes no change of clothes???
The real bottom line here is plain and simply found in that statement about how Casey cannot formulate a defense. They are admitting right there they have no defense period. Seems to me they should have prepared a defense or been preparing a defense long before now. Seems to me they are gambling and the odds are not in their favor. Did they just throw her under the bus again?
In other news on the case, that pesky cruise keeps coming back up. Apparently the Globe is reporting that the Anthonys have tattoos in honor of Caylee and George is now wearing diamond studded earrings. Well if you look at the following picture slideshow, number 2 pic, it looks like the tats might be there and George could be wearing diamond earrings. George’s tat is on his left chest, and Cindy’s is on her right on her tummy. I can vaguely see them in this slide and it’s from Channel 9. Check it out:
Really the bottom line is this, they are making money as are so many others and they are living much better now. To be honest, given the facts of their financial situation when this all started, and the dinner party at the “Ritz”, and the cruise and all the celebrity treatment for interviews, it appears they are doing quite well.
I’d say so well, and I’ve seen their hair and clothing improving so much over time that well, the following video is a good depiction of their new found status:
Remember Kosovo? Former President Bill Clinton made it our mission to free the Albanians ( Muslim Extremists) from the tyranny of the Serbs (Christians) that didn’t want them rebelling and forming their independence. Remember that Kosovo is in Serbia, so the Serbs are the ones native to the country. In the following link pay particular attention to “Kosovo War”. Here’s a bit of an overview:
I know that article is long, but you have to read and find out that what I’m telling you is the truth. One more link on that one so you can see that we should not have intervened:
In my opinion that was a political war, aimed at giving the Albanians (Muslim Extremists) power, basically kissing butt. The claim was that the Serbs (Christians) were guilty of ethnic cleansing. I personally feel it was to win brownie points in the world of Radical Islam. What a joke! Sorry Mr. Clinton, but 9/11 still happened, so the butt kissing didn’t work. Of course the bombing of the Cole still happened too, and much, much more. The UN was all over Kosovo and they actually kept the peace, which is something they never do when we actually need them to. We had no business getting involved.
Somewhere between 800,000 to 1 million people died in a senseless genocide, that was started by the media there. President Clinton turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. The United Nations sent peacekeepers in and at one point the people being slaughtered begged for their help, and the UN refused. They begged them then to shoot them, so they wouldn’t be hacked up by dull machetes, the UN again refused and backed up and withdrew and allowed those people to be slaughtered. I was going to share a video with you on Rwanda, but I couldn’t find any that could get the point across without being terribly graphic. There is just no way to put a better face on it.
Why am I mentioning all of this now? It seems that former President Bill Clinton just got an 11 foot statue of himself erected in Kosovo, and he was honored. Check it out:
Please don’t forget all the passes he gave the terrorists. He never went after them, and they attacked us repeatedly on his watch. Don’t forget Somalia either. The following video is long, over an hour, however it’s worth watching. (WARNING: THERE ARE SOME GRAPHIC IMAGES.) Check it out:
I’m sorry, but a statue and a National Park? I don’t get it. Kosovo was completely unnecessary and while the following video is a parody, sadly it’s closer to the truth than a parody about Kosovo :
So Congrats Mr. Clinton, and pardon me if I don’t participate in the idol worship. I don’t consider you an idol sir, but rather a Former President whose foreign policy was atrocious and backwards, and I just don’t understand why so many don’t see it. Yet your next goal, the dream job is a Secretary General of the UN:
By now everyone knows the tragic story of Somer Thompson. Her story is absolutely heart breaking. Her family is in my prayers. I can’t imagine what they must be going through. I pray that the person responsible will soon be caught and brought to justice. There is no excuse for something like this to happen, and the person responsible is plain and simply a monster.
Many also know the story of Haleigh Cummings, who still remains missing. Now when Haleigh was reported missing it appeared to be a stranger abduction from her own home, even her own bed. It wasn’t long into the investigation before investigators ruled out the possibility of a stranger abduction, as there were no signs of forced entry. They even took the door in question off and analyzed it. No signs of forced entry at all. To make matters worse the person who was in charge of looking after Haleigh that night can’t seem to get the story straight and has failed polygraphs.
In Somer’s case it was a stranger abduction and LE did a phenomenal job of finding Somer very quickly. Sadly it was too late. I do believe they will solve her case, based on the great job they’ve done so far. I just hate that it ever happened. These things should not be happening.
I found this write up in the Orlando Sentinel that compared the 2 cases and posed the question about why one child was found, and so quickly and the other child is still missing after almost 9 months, with nothing solid to go on.
Haleigh Cummings
Now Satsuma is about 50 miles south of Jacksonville and you have 2 different Sheriff’s Departments at work here. Is it the difference in the Sheriff’s Departments, the towns, or what??? This article I found points it out quite clearly. Check it out:
To Somer’s family’s credit they did everything they could to act quickly and provide LE with all of the info they could to get them on the right track. They did everything they could to help. The community did everything they could to help as well. As I mentioned above, LE did a phenomenal job in their own right.
Sadly in Haleigh’s case, while Putnam county did search dumpsters and landfills, the one person that has been deceptive would never be of any help and they don’t have much of anything to go on. They say they are still searching for Haleigh. The sad part of it is they just didn’t get much cooperation in Haleigh’s case. What a horrible, sad statement for Haleigh.
I wish these things would not happen at all, as I know most everyone feels that same way. It breaks your heart every single time another child is lost. I truly wish there was more that could be done to stop some of this madness. The world loses so much every single time it loses a child. Life is so precious.
My Son brought my Grandson over for a visit earlier this week. He’s 20 months old, and the light of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my children, but I’m loving this grandparent thing. My young Grandson had a rocky start coming into this world, as he was in intensive care at first, and then at a point he became sickly and was constantly at the doctor. It turned out to be his tonsils, and it was hard getting that poor little guy to eat and drink. Well, the tonsils came out and it was rough for him to get through that, but he’s well now. His appetite is what it should be and he’s all over the map as a toddler should be. A real handful as a little boy should be at his age. A climber too.
I was heating us up some beef stew for lunch and my youngest was making himself tuna fish sandwiches. So while I’m at the stove, dear Uncle is sitting at the bar eating his tuna fish sandwich and Daddy is playing on the computer. My Grandson toddles over to his Uncle and starts pulling on his pants leg and whining for his Uncle to pick him up. So my Son puts almost a half of a tuna fish sandwich down on the bar and picks his Nephew up, and as I watched I saw before his Uncle could get him up in his lap, my Grandson grabbed the tuna fish sandwich and stuffed the whole thing in his mouth. Now it didn’t fit all in his mouth, but he was determined to claim that sandwich as his own, and he wasn’t chancing having to give it back. With both of his little hands he was trying desperately to stuff that in his mouth and chew it up real quick. Around here we mix tuna with mayonnaise and pickle relish, so it was really messy. Tuna was oozing all out all over his little face and hands, but he was not giving in, he claimed it, it was his. I laughed until I thought I would cry. I told my youngest, he was just played. Of course dear Uncle could do nothing but say: “Hey! That was my sandwich!” Daddy and Nana were so shocked they could do nothing but laugh. My Granson managed to down that whole almost half a sandwich, with a very messy face and set of hands of course. When I had the beef stew heated up we tried to get him to eat it and while he ate a few bites, that is not what he wanted. So I made him a rollover tuna sandwich, cutting it in pieces and giving him one at a time, and he ate the whole thing. I think he loves tuna!
After thinking about it a while, I have to admit that was pretty smart for a child under the age of 2. He saw what he wanted and he found a way to make it his own. I also realized that now the lessons begin. Not only do we have to correct him when gets into things, or tries to climb when he shouldn’t, but now we have to teach him that you don’t take things without asking. He so manipulated his Uncle, and yet he’s not even 2. Pretty smart for his young age……….
Thus it begins with a tuna fish sandwich…………….Who would have thought?
Diane’s book comes out November 3. I thought I’d share the video with you. I found it very interesting. Whether you agree or disagree with the book, what she had to say in the video was very interesting. She is a very good author and she does do her homework. I personally think what she’s saying about Casey and the relationship she’s had with her parents is right on.
I brought you a story yesterday about a 77 year old sex offender that had violated his parole, not by re-offending, but by being on the internet, becoming a star on youtube, and by fleeing the State he had offended in and not making authorities aware of his whereabouts. If you haven’t read it yet, you can read it here. I also mentioned Roman Polanski’s situation in that post. Here’s an update on that case: Roman Polanski. Now in these 2 cases, these 2 men have people fighting for them to be exonerated because of their celebrity status. How disgusting is that???
Now in Edward Muscare’s case the fight from supporters is that he’s 77, not hurting anyone, and they believe he’s committed no crime. That’s not true. He violated the terms of his parole, and it doesn’t matter how much you like him or how innocent his videos are, he violated the terms of his parole, and more than one. He is where he belongs. He raped a 14 year old boy in 1986.
In Roman Polanski’s case, the victim is begging the courts to drop the charges as the media is bombarding her life. She and her family are suffering because of this. Hollywood, including some leading feminists has been in a tizzy about this one saying things like what he did wasn’t rape rape. It was! He drugged and gave alcohol to a 13 year old girl and raped her. She would not have consensual sex with him before hand, and he did this during a photo shoot. He violated a child and I don’t care who he is and how much Hollywood likes him. The press should be ashamed of themselves for violating this woman’s rights. They have even been trying to lure her kids with gifts in exchange for a story. Her attorney stated that this will make it very hard for victims to come forward if their abusers are famous, and I agree. What is wrong with these people??? Her attorney’s exact words:
“He said the “lack of sensitivity” would make it less likely that other victims of celebrity crimes would come forward.”
I completely agree and the public should be outraged!!!
Not long ago one of my friends shared a story with me about a sex offender who was denied access to the Church because of the laws regarding these offenders not being within a certain amount of distance of our children. The ACLU is defending his right to go and worship and they are of course complaining about the Church being a place for forgiveness and a place for them to gain spiritual help. Check it out:
Now we debated this issue as certainly we would like for them to reform if they could, but I feel that there should be ministries for these people that should not include children. Think about it. If a person has trouble with alcohol they shouldn’t be hanging out in a bar, or a package store. Now there is a ministry that I found that is trying to work with the churches over this issue:
Now there is a lot of good information there, but I differ with having them in the church around the children, and I really feel they do need spiritual help, so I think the need for churches to create ministries in which they would not have the offenders around the children would be the best solution, and I think the offenders if they truly are working on reformation should not want to be around the children, but should want to start Bible Studies.
Now many believe that these people don’t reform and statistics do rather back that up, but let’s be very careful that we don’t give the person that has committed these heinous atrocities more rights than the innocents they could harm. What about the victims? Or potential victims???
Forgiveness is fine, but let’s not present opportunity for these people to take more victims and let’s not punish the victims for the sake of fixing the offender. I personally think that people that prey on children should not be allowed to roam free amongst us. We can forgive and still have a brain. We need to make sure we are using our brains here. I’m not inciting hate, but common sense.
Now, fast forward a bit, and we have this:
50 Children Saved From Prostitution In A Nation Wide FBI Sting. While that was 50 children saved, I wonder how many more are out there going through this. Kudos to the FBI for doing this. Great Job! I think it’s a sad statement that there are so many sickos that want to prey on our children. Any grown person that is sexually attracted to a child is completely sick and should be banished from society period!
Now with Halloween approaching police are warning of the sexual predators:
Now that was a Central Florida warning, but I’m just sure the warnings would be the same everywhere. This kind of abuse is happening all over the country. Most of the time not only are the victims assaulted, but they are murdered, and while all sexual predators don’t murder, it doesn’t matter, they are still destroying lives and violating others. Please be careful as my guess is they will be on the prowl. Watch your children carefully. Don’t let them out of your sight, or the sight of a trusted adult. Please consider Halloween alternatives.
In closing I would like to say this……….Let’s protect our children. God expects us to do just that.
This has got to be one of the most bizarre stories I’ve ever read. It seems that Edward Muscare, a 77 year old convicted sex offender has been arrested for using the internet, as it violated his terms of parole. He was a youtube sensation, where he did bizarre videos in which he lips synced the songs. However in looking over what he’s posted on youtube, he did actually sing songs, plant trees, and rant about some things. He posted more than 130 videos and some of his neighbors and fans are a bit uptight that he was arrested for this as he’s 77 years old and they think he did no harm to anyone. Here is a link to his youtube channel to watch his videos:
I tried embedding some of the videos including a rebuttal from his supporters, but you can no longer embed the videos.
Now according to the video rebuttal he committed a nonviolent sexual act. The problem is from what I read he raped a 14 year old boy back in the late 1980’s. You can read more about it here:
I looked at a few of his videos and they have not been removed as there was really nothing wrong with them. They don’t appear to be bad, but he did violate the terms of his parole. I read where he also left the State, Florida, where he was on parole, unlawfully, and he had had his computer seized, and he was warned not to do this. IMO. I think he knew he was breaking the law and there is a reason for his terms of parole, as they are trying to keep sexual predators off of the internet. I understand that. I parallel this to the Roman Polanski issue, where many felt he should be allowed to walk away from it, but just because people are famous in one form or fashion, does not give them the right to break the law. Does it? And if you let this guy off then they will never be able to keep sexual predators off of the internet.
That was the picture the Globe used for the front page of their October issue last year. There is a cropped version in the documents. We had quite a discussion about this infamous pic last week, and now it seems the National Enquirer has done a story on it too. The NE and the Globe are owned by the same company. The interesting part about the NE getting it is they actually will give you a preview of the story. Check it out:
Of course they are not wondering who sold the pic or who did the interview for that story, as we are. Nope they know that and apparently aren’t sharing that. Instead they are talking to a criminal profiler about the significance of Caylee possibly being killed wearing that shirt. I think you get the jest of it from the preview. Casey was sending a message to Caylee in her own sick way by dressing her in that shirt and it shows premeditation. Personally I think that that could be true, but it’s speculation in it’s own right at this point. Not that I don’t believe it, as I think they could be closer to right on this one, but I just think that should be proven in court.
Here’s what I find really interesting after finally finding that entire pic, it was definitely taken in a man’s bedroom. Therefore most likely a man took the picture, and most likely sold the pic, so I think Ricardo could be a good guess.
There is something else though. Check this out:
Note that in the infamous Globe picture Caylee has a bruise on her left eye and in this pic which was supposed to be a later pic she has a bruise on her right eye. Casey’s hair is either in a ponytail or it’s shorter. I think it’s in a ponytail, so I think this is a later pic than the Globe pic. Now for the last known pic of Caylee:
No bruises on either eye, so I’m thinking the Globe pic was not taken the day she died, but much earlier. It very well could have been taken when she was dating Ricardo. I don’t think they had left home yet. Therefore to me the only significance to the Globe pic is that Caylee did have a shirt exactly like the one found with her remains. Whether she meant the shirt to be a message or not, I don’t know, but that pic was not taken the day she died.
Okay, we all know that there has been a lot of money generated from this case. The Anthonys have been the recipients of some, the defense, and the media. That’s a fair analysis. Many people don’t realize that ratings generate money, and that is why the A’s can get paid handsomely for the “licensing fees”, and I’m sure they and the defense do on occasion get paid for “exclusives”. By and large this case has generated revenue in many pockets, even hotels for searchers, restaurants, you name it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing the searching or anything. But even the out of town attorneys have to pay for meals and lodgings, so this case has created revenue in many different areas. That’s fair to say. A lot of folks, myself included find it suspect that the A’s seem to be living so well. I don’t know the details, but I’m sure I don’t want to. I just know what has been reported and confirmed, or not confirmed. Remember this?:
Now Lifetime has denied this repeatedly, but there is still a petition on going and there are many that believe that this is true. I’m not saying it is or isn’t, although it’s believable. We all know by now that there has been some handsome “licensing fees” paid to the A’s. Here’s a good overview of some of it:
Basically the A’s and the defense are living well, in spite of what they want you to think. George admitted to it in his depos, as did both Cindy and Lee to some degree, but by far George’s was the best. Here’s the depos in case you need to review :
Brad Conway says the A’s do not do paid interviews. LOL! Right!!! What are “licensing fees”?
Now, some folks say it’s wrong to have the A’s lives under a magnifying glass, and personally I don’t care to. With that said, they are making a lot of money while trying to taint a future jury pool, contrary to their previous spin. So is the defense. Remember the infamous detective video in the woods, a month before Caylee was found??? Supposedly Jim Hoover tried to sell that at a very high price to Geraldo, and Geraldo considered that despicable, yet Hoover shot it. Of course the A’s demanded that that video belonged to them as Dominic Casey was working for them when the video was shot, and graciously donated it to Geraldo for free to put the truth out there. Geraldo got the “Exclusive”, therefore I highly doubt he didn’t grease some palms. That was priceless for him, in spite of the spin.
As we know now, they never got right to that exact spot. Or did they??? I always believed that God blinded them to that spot, but I read not long ago where someone felt they did, and purposefully left out the remains, the water and such, to try and create more spin and thus was born the defense spin that Todd Macaluso shot his mouth off in court about, and the Judge gave them until Feb. 1 to back it up with discovery. To me that makes sense. The Spin: Someone else placed the body there while Casey was in jail and so she’s innocent. NOT!
The spin, now, I’ve shown you the motive for the spin, now let’s look a little closer at the spin. Now the article I’m about to share with you is neither Pro-Anthony, or Anthony Bashing. It really addresses media spin and trying to sort out the truth. It specifically mentions Nancy Grace, Greta Van Sustren, but while it shows Geraldo’s video report, it didn’t really hit on him, but he’s a spinmeister too. Check it out:
BTW, the video above was placed on youtube by the author of that same site. I have to agree the sensationalists spin and I would much rather follow the truth. To me Truth and Justice is what we are following to find the end result. That is not meant to bash anyone that watches these shows, as I myself have watched all 3 shows, and I can tell you that Rose Speaks is right that they don’t always give you the facts. I’ve caught all 3 deviating from the facts, and sometimes adding facts that are not. Basically spinning. The next link is media versus defense spin:
The next link I’m about to give you is a Pro-Anthony site and the motto is Casey is innocent. So contrary to all those that complain, there are Pro-Anthony folks out there. Check it out:
There are many Anti-Anthony sites as well. However many sites that are just following the case and reporting are labeled haters by the Pro-Anthony crowd. It completely reminds you of politics. Is it? I think it is to a degree. The defense is always trying to spin away the evidence and the family does as well. All of them are making money doing it, contrary to what they say. Although the A’s did admit it in the depos to some degree. The media is very happy to oblige, it sells.
I saved the motive in all of it for the very last. The motive for the spin is the money and of course to try and sway the court of public opinion one way or the other, but while the defense and the A’s would have you believe that the State and the Media are doing it, the State has not, not one time. The media does, but the family and the defense are the guiltiest of all for keeping it stirred up and constantly doing the media circuit. The spin generates money, and they might be able to taint a future jury pool while they are being paid for it.
It has come to my attention that the picture of Caylee that was in the documents recently, (on Lee’s depos) is actually a picture that was featured on the Cover of the Globe last fall. Check it out:
Also Lee discussed this photo with prosecutors in those depos. The photo is on page 385 and is Exhibit 2 in Lee’s depos. Start on page 366 where the discussion of this photo picks up:
I found that conversation interesting, in that Lee didn’t recognize this shirt or this picture. He did say it was part of a picture. I did also notice that Caylee had a black eye.
Here is an interesting article on this same subject:
This issue of the Globe is from October of last year. Who sold this pic to the Globe? Why before she was found? Did they know that she was wearing that shirt the day she died??? That was the shirt that was found with her remains. One would think that Baez with the permission of Casey would have sold it at that time, but maybe not. Who sold that pic?? Why that one??? When was this pic taken? Was it right before she died? Apparently that pic is of significance, or it wouldn’t be included as evidence. I find this very interesting. What do you think?
Update: Here’s a possibility:
There is a part 2 to this:
Also I have read where, as we all know that Kio Marie Cruz sold her story to the National Enquirer, but I’ve also read speculation that Kristina Chester sold her story to the Globe, but have not been able to completely verify that. Case and point, there have been more than one or two to sell to tabloids.
Let me see………Does it matter if Casey’s account is out of money? NO, it just means all the donations have stopped, and that was the only reason I initially cared about what her account had in it, was who was donating. I’m surprised it took so long for people to stop donating, she’s not a charity case. I really don’t care whether Casey has money in her account or not. I don’t care about those kinds of details. I don’t care about seeing where Caylee’s remains were found personally, other than the fact that we looked at pics to see if it was or was not underwater during the times her remains were there, to know the truth on the defense spin was good enough. Actually to me there is nothing interesting or special about it because a poor dead child’s remains were found there. Seeing the Anthony home. Who cares? Not me. I don’t understand why people are interested in it enough to drive by it. Why? They are not celebs. I don’t care about their every move. I don’t watch their interviews that they make so much money off of. Why? Because I won’t support it. I don’t care where they go or what they do. Again, they are not celebs. I also don’t care about the defense’s dream team, and what they do and say on interviews. I know they don’t have a case because if they did, Casey wouldn’t be sitting there and they wouldn’t need until Feb. 1st to turn over the discovery, that they should have already turned over. If they had it, the State would have it. I don’t care about who knows who and how much they like them unless it’s relevant to the case. Otherwise it’s a personal matter, and in no ways makes a person a celeb because they know someone. Whoopie! Now myself I’ve met a few that say they know some in this case, but again that is a personal matter and in no way makes anyone a celeb. Everyone in this case puts their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. They are all people just like we are all people, end of discussion on that one. Geeze!
I think you are starting to get the point. What matters if you are following this case, is the facts of the case. When the case lulls, there are so many other cases that we could pay attention to, or if you just follow this case, go back and read what you haven’t, take time to review, if you find things missed post on them. One thing is for sure and that is at this point this case is a great study of the Law and how it works. There’s nothing wrong with following it.
As far as the personal lives of the players in this case, unless they are doing something personally that has bearing on this case, I don’t care, and neither should anyone else.
With all of that said, it appears that the Judge on the civil suit has shot down the motion to dismiss the case, and to that I say Kudos to the Judge! Check it out:
To be honest with you I believe that all the innocent people’s lives that the Anthonys and their PI’s and the dream team have personally trashed should sue them for all they are worth. You don’t knowingly destroy innocent lives for the sake of lying, especially when you know they are innocent and you are only trying to create “reasonable doubt” to exonerate a killer.
So here’s the bottom line………………..What matters most in Caylee’s case is JUSTICE!
It appears that Misty and Ronald’s divorce was final this week. Which was pretty quick. According to an article I found on The Bald Truth/ Art Harris’ website, Misty’s Mom, Lisa Croslin is out on bond and the family has said that Misty could come home, of course she has to drop the restraining order against Tommy. Check it out:
It also appears according to that article that Robert Fields is now Misty’s attorney once again, as he feels she was “hoodwinked” by Tim Miller and the crew from TES. Apparently according to Mr. Fields they convinced Misty to do The Early Show, and told her not to listen to him. It also seems that Misty is living with different friends who can’t afford to support her, so she will probably go home, as according to that article, Mr. Fields indicated that Misty may be planning to talk to the judge about the restraining order.
Another article showing the news that the unhappy couple is indeed divorced:
Apparently there are those who think that they do not follow up on “live sightings”, and tips and leads. They wanted to assure the public that they do.
Now that we are caught up on the latest, I have but one question and that is Where is Haleigh??? I would much rather hear and read about finding that little girl than the family soap opera. Let’s hope and pray that somewhere, somehow, in the midst of all the drama, that someone decides to tell the truth about where Haleigh is and what happened to her.
This story to me is so heart breaking. Apparently Christian Woods left her 3 small children home for 3 days with just a few jello cups on the coffee table, no running water, no electricity, no one to change a diaper. The children were Myleahya who was 18 months, her twin sister Mykayhla, and their brother Jaterius who is 2. Authorities say that Myleahya only weighed 11 pounds. Christian had apparently been in Mobile for 3 days, which is a good hour from Pensacola, where the children were home alone, not being cared for, and no one knew they were there. She returned home to find Myleahya dead and so she threw her body in the trash can in the backyard and left again. She called the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, and she reported Myleahya missing. A later report states she reported all 3 children missing. She claimed she had been in Mobile, Alabama for 3 days and left the children with family, and when she came home they were gone. Here’s the absolute worst part, as if this isn’t bad enough, there was plenty of food in the house. These poor innocent babies just suffered and Myleahya died, while Mykayhla was comatose. Jaterius was suffering from malnutrition and had a large bump/bruise on his head. Apparently LE was suspicious as her story didn’t add up and they found family members and found out where Christian lived with the children. They went in to find the children in terrible conditions, it was filthy and full of roaches. Mykayhla was under a bed and they thought she was dead at first until her eyes fluttered. Myleahya was found in the trash can in the backyard.
Christian is charged with aggravated child abuse and one count of manslaughter. From a later article it was stated that more charges could be pending. Her bond is set at $1 million.
I will never understand how someone can treat innocent babies so badly. Apparently family members knew nothing of this and said they would have gladly helped her with the children if they knew she needed help, but they hadn’t heard from her. How sad is this??? I hope and pray that Mykayhla and Jaterius have a better life where they are loved and cared for and never go hungry again. God Rest Myleahya’s little soul. She nor her siblings deserved this kind of treatment.
A slide show of pictures of Jaycee now, as a child, the Garridos, their home, and Jaycee’s step-father holding her picture right after she was abducted & more:
I’m sure most everyone has heard the story of Jaycee Dugard by now. I’ve followed it myself, and I must say not only is it a Blessing that Jaycee was found and brought home, alive and well, but that her daughters were too. We live in a world that is not perfect and sometimes terrible things happen at the hands of terrible people. As much as most of us would love to clean it up and make it a better place, still it’s heartwarming to me the attitude this young lady appears to have. She is truly an inspiration. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure she has her bad days, but she has a lot of courage, and against all odds, she lived in that pig sty of Garrido’s and tried to be a good mother. She even taught her girls as best she could. To me she has great courage and I think we can all learn something from her. Sometimes we take life for granted and we focus on the smallest of problems, and then someone comes along with great courage, and reminds us that many times our problems really aren’t so big, and that life is a gift. Jaycee is one of those people and I pray that the rest of her life is very Blessed. I was very touched when I found the following video:
From everything I’ve heard and read, Jaycee is cooperating fully with authorities and will be testifying against the Garridos. I’m sure this is very hard for Jaycee, but again, she is showing great courage.
I’m sure that she and her girls have a lot to overcome, but I do pray for them and I ask that you do as well.
I have often wondered who Dominic Casey really is………..I know he’s Dominic Casey, but I don’t understand why he inserted himself in Caylee’s case, and also into Haleigh’s case. I know that he’s a PI, and he also runs a construction company, but he’s a very strange character to me. He’s all over the map as to which side he’s really on in Caylee’s case. I have often compared Dominic to Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the notorious “Pink Panther”:
His interviews with LE remind me somewhat of this:
Now that we know from the docs that Lee is his apprentice, I parallel Lee to Cato, who is Inspector Clouseau’s housekeeper, and cook, and more than anything, he is instructed to always ambush the Inspector when he returns home to keep him on his toes:
Sometimes Cato gets carried away, and ambushes him in public:
All in all it’s a tough job doing that undercover work:
A job that is never very appreciated.
Of course the real Pink Panther always solved the crime. I’m not sure if Dominic was really trying to solve a crime, fuel a fire and stir up trouble, or if he was and is a smokescreen. Nevertheless, he is a rather mysterious, yet comical, nervous little fellow. I never really saw that he did anything but cause trouble in Caylee’s case, and in Haleigh’s case, I never saw that he did anything but claim to work on it and give Cobra a hard time (according to Cobra), so who is Dominic Casey really??? Why did he insert himself in these cases?
Well, it was a wonderful day for Justice For Caylee! For those of you who did not have the chance to view the hearing, I will provide the video. Check it out:
This video starts with the Judge ruling that the defense has to show their information that proves someone else placed the body there, or that their client is innocent as Todd Macaluso claimed in a previous hearing. He gave them until February 1, 2010 to produce this information. The following links on this morning’s developments also have video, and slide show photos of the hearing. We will start with Channel 9 who is reporting on the fact that the Judge ruled to have a pretrial conference on the check fraud trial, on December 18, 2009, and the trial is set for January 25, 2010. Also that the motions by the defense to throw out the murder charge and the child abuse charge has been denied. Check it out:
I can’t help it, I just love Kathi Belich’s question to Jose Baez, and of course his reply:
“Is there gonna be a bombshell on February 1st,” WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez.“There will be something. There definitely will be something,” Baez said.
Translation: We don’t have anything, Todd shot his mouth off and I don’t know what to do……
This article from the Orlando Sentinel focuses on the statements of Todd Macaluso:
“This request followed a statement made by defense attorney Todd Macaluso at a previous hearing that the defense had evidence that would prove Casey Anthony was innocent. He was not specific about what that evidence is.”
It goes on to cover the same talking points.
One more thing from Channel 9 that I’d like to point out and that is in the article in reference to last night’s document release. It has to do with George’s admission to media deals:
“Only Eyewitness News got hold of the statement George Anthony made under oath to prosecutors two months ago. He admitted the family has taken thousands of dollars from the CBS network for doing a show and that their lawyer has been involved in negotiations for a book deal.”
Local 6 has their take on all the latest too, and they cover the “compensation” thing with George too. Make sure after reading today’s events that you scroll to the article: “George Anthony Admits To Compensation”. Check it out:
This is a definite first! A document dump at night and right before the big hearing. Oh My! I ‘m amazed…………… Well, what’s even more amazing is that it is the depositions with the State for George and Cindy and Lee. I didn’t expect this one, and I’m not sure anyone else did either, but it’s here and it’s a lot of reading, but I must say very very interesting. Over 1300 pages of depos.
“The State Attorney’s Office won’t say why the transcripts were filed as public documents Thursday. Eyewitness News learned that it is a very unusual move; usually the public doesn’t find out what was said during criminal depositions until the trial”.
First let me start by saying that the last document dump told me some very important things. One the hair that had the death band or had the decomposition evidence, matched all the hair found with Caylee’s skull. That is a very important piece of evidence. I believe that that coupled with the duct tape, are very damning, in spite of the defense spin. Second and most importantly as we have discussed there were many pictures and entries that were blacked out and many, if not most of the tests requested and info requested did not have any results listed, and they have never had those particular results listed to including but not limited to, the unknown substances in 2 different bottles found with the remains, as well as what the stain was in the throw rug, and much, much more. As I’ve pointed out to many of you even with the “Florida Sunshine Law“, and the method of discovery chosen by the defense and Miss Anthony, coupled with their determined defeat of the gag order, the State cannot violate her rights to a fair trial so we are playing ring around the rosies with these document dumps. Sometimes they tend to help the defense and other times they tend to say just enough to bust the defense spin and leave us hanging. We will never ever know all the facts until trial. I’m beginning to wonder if the deal will ever happen, as just when they elude to it, they turn and play another spin game. I guess that will remain to be seen. The upcoming hearing will be interesting, but I’m not sure how much it will solve. One can only hope that Judge Stan gives the defense a “what for” for all of their waste of time and money for nothing but hypocritical spin. I guess we will have to wait and see, but keep in mind how fair Judge Stan is trying to be.
These latest motions are the most ridiculous by far. I truly hope they get shot down and the defense is reminded of the gag order they shot down and that they are the only ones doing the talk show circuit, thus trying to taint a future jury pool. They are also the ones along with their client that has chosen the method of discovery and they are responsible for all of the leaks. One can only hope the Judge will use common sense and remind them of these facts.
Here are the questions that the potential jurors will be asked by the defense:
I personally cannot see how they could get any jurors with those questions, unless they want uneducated criminals, which sounds about right for the mentality of Casey and the defense. Some of these questions I don’t think they have a right to ask, and some I completely understand. I’m not sure what planet they think they can find that will have someone on it that hasn’t heard of this case, thanks to the defense. Which makes you wonder if this has been done on purpose. Are they trying to screw things up??? You bet they are! That’s all they have. They have no case, so why not try and botch it up and try that angle, maybe they can get her to walk. The State Of Florida is considerably smarter than this. It won’t fly, but they feel they have to try. I’m really sick of this case and the foolishness that surrounds it. It’s all giving me a headache. I no longer feel like I’m doing anything of any value. I feel like all I’m accomplishing is talking about it everyday. I’m tired of the emotional highs and lows, and the fact that there is no reason to get all worked up over it, as it is what it is and it will be what it will be. What more is there to discuss? I’ll cover things of importance, if I feel they will be of good research and good discussion. What I do best is try to point out the truth and I’m getting overwhelmed as I’m saying the same things over and over everyday. I do post on other things, and follow other cases. That will continue, but I’m not going to be spending as much time on here as I used to. I will cover the hearing on Friday, but I will not cover 48 Hours. I don’t even intend to watch it. I’m not impressed with CBS, or their reporting, therefore I will not support it. When you support those shows, you are in effect helping the A’s and the defense by making it more profitable for these shows to have them on. It’s all about the ratings. I think this is distasteful, therefore I won’t support it. I still believe Justice For Caylee will one day come, but Casey may be on social security if the defense has anything to say about it. “THERE IN THE MONEY”! They are not about to let that go any time soon. I just wanted to let you know this, so if you don’t get answers from me in a very timely manner, you will understand why.
Yes the dreaded Casey Ebola Virus has really taken it’s toll on Casey’s defense team. They have really lost their minds now, as they have asked for, (get this) a change of venue for the check fraud trial, a special questionnaire (10 pages) for each potential juror to answer, no mentioning of any “prior bad acts” by Casey Anthony, including Amy’s statement that she (Casey) is a liar. Of course they want it moved to Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, or Broward Counties, (due to the largely Hispanic population of course so Baez can play his race card, that he’s so hated because he’s a Hispanic attorney) that’s not in the motion, but if you’ve followed this case, you know that’s what he’s doing. (having it moved to those counties is in the motion though) Let’s not forget his colleagues also lovingly call him Juannie Cochran. Of course they want all potential jurors to be questioned individually so that they won’t be reluctant to answer questions truthfully in front of other potential jurors. They are also whining about the pre-trial publicity as one of the main reasons for this bold move. Let us not forget that Baez and the “dream team” have done every media show that won’t argue with them regularly and that Baez fought along side the Anthonys to knock down the gag order the State filed a motion for back in November and won. What hypocrites! I’m sorry, but talk about not being truthful. You can read more about it here:
. There was a lot of stuff I didn’t expect to see. Those entomology reports were there, although, I’m thinking there was more to those, and we just saw part of that. At any rate there were Coffin Flies in the trunk of the car, and that means it wasn’t pizza in the trunk, or any rotting garbage, it was Caylee. Caylee was in the trunk of that car, and there is no doubt. She was there and she was decomposing in there. I also noticed from this report that the insects tell a story that completely supports Caylee’s remains being in the trunk for a few days, then being at the site, and then being submerged under water, thus delaying the life cycle of some of these insects. This totally blows Todd Macaluso’s statement that someone else placed the body there while Casey was in jail. NOT!!! I knew he was just running his mouth and this proves it.
Vote For Whomever You Choose……………….
November 9, 2009 by niecey456
There’s been a lot of campaigning lately in regards to the Orlando Orbbies blog competition, over at the Orlando Sentinel. I just wanted to make some clarifications. One, you do not have to live in Orlando to vote for the blogs. Two, you can vote for whatever blogs you like. Three, if you vote more than once per day, each vote over one (in each category) will override the first vote. I do recommend that you take the time and visit over there and look at some of the blogs in the running. Voting ends November 20th, at 5pm Eastern.
http://www.orlandosentinel2.com/data/orbbies/voting/
You do have to register to vote. When you try and vote (if you are not registered) it will lead you through the process, and it is a secure connection.
There are some very good blogs in the running and you are not locked into voting for a specific blog. This has nothing to do with Caylee or Casey, so vote for the best ones you see. I only mentioned and tagged their names to this, to point out that voting for a particular blog does not in any way help the cause for Justice For Caylee. If that particular blog is your fav, by all means vote for it, if not, then don’t. Take a look at all of them, if you have the time. Just being fair and balanced.
