CASEY SENDS AMY A MESSAGE, BUT IS IT JUST ANOTHER TACTIC FOR THE DEFENSE?

     It took over a year for Amy Hunzeinga to have Casey Anthony be held accountable for stealing her money. I imagine for Amy it is not the money as much as it is the hurtful realization that someone who you thought was such a good friend turned out to be someone you didn’t even know. I experienced something similar in my own life and although my best friend ( or at least I thought she was) didn’t kill anyone, it is absolutely heart wrenching to have to come to the realization that everything we shared was a lie, and that I never really knew this person with whom I had been joined at the hip for 9 years.

   Casey was given an opportunity to address Amy and did so in a small, tear filled voice. She stated that she was sorry and wished she could have been a better friend. Her voice cracked and there appeared to be tears. However, this new side of Casey leads me to believe that Andrea Lyon is continuing to try and “humanize” her client.Is Casey truly sorry for what she did to Amy, or is she truly sorry that she got caught? While I think alot of things Casey has done, including the murder of her daughter were not well planned out acts, I cannot help but wonder if she was crying out for help when she was stealing Amy’s money? I mean she had to know that it would be a matter of a couple of weeks at most before her friend would know she drained her account. Or perhaps if we take into account the theory that she was planning on going to California to see Mark Hawkins then she would never have had to face her friend.

     The punishment Casey faces now for the use of Amy’s identity is not so bad in actuality. She has credit for time served, probation should she get out of jail. Of course we know that she won’t so that is a mute point. Since the money has already been paid back, she will have to pay the court fees and the fees associated with the investigation into the checks. I also read that a probation officer will visit her in jail although I have to admit I don’t really understand the point of this. Yet I don’t pretend to know the jail system.

     My question is how is Casey supposed to pay the fees incurred? Should she ever get any royalties for anything associated with Caylee would the court have the right to take those royalties until her debt has been paid?

     Jose Baez of course went right to the media immediately following the hearing and again I must point out that nobody from the State was present in any media interviews that day. Of course Baez continues to say that the case is being tried in the media and yet all he has to do is keep walking when they are heading his way.

     So, is this the new Casey Anthony? Is she truly beginning to realize the seriousness of her actions? I try and give the benefit of the doubt in every situation and yet I cannot. I continue to see the cocky, angry girl we saw in July 2008 and continued to see until December 2009. In one whispered sentence she was transformed into an emotional wreck.The public was supposed to believe that this woman who has been deemed everything from a psychopath to a spoiled brat, has miraculously become a grief stricken mother who has lost her child. Where was that grief when Caylee was gone for thirty one days? Where was that grief when LE had everything at her disposal in order to locate her child? Where was that grief when she screamed at her parents that she was the victim?

     If I were just discovering this case perhaps I could see that maybe just maybe there is an expanation for all of this and Casey couldn’t possibly have committed this crime. However, I am not and cannot look at her as anything more than a cold hearted woman who did not ever deserve that beautiful child nor did she ever deserve the title “Mother”

ARE WE OUT OF MOTIONS YET?

     “Aren’t you asking me to reinvent the wheel?” Judge Strickland questioned.

     That statement by Judge Strickland was as close to an explanation he was going to give regarding the latest set of motions by Casey Anthony’s defense team. Casey Anthony will face all of the charges for cashing checks. In my opinion she is lucky there are only nine counts. If her grandmother and her own mother added their losses to her spending spree she would be facing more than that. She didn’t have any concern for anyone or anything while she was draining others bank accounts for over a year so why should she be shown any sympathy?

     I have long assumed that the defense is attempting to get all other charges dismissed or delayed so their client can begin her murder trial with no record of prior convictions, yet I believe come the end of January 2010 Miss Casey will have a record.

     Strickland also denied the motion to destroy the videos of Casey Anthony while she visits with her attorney and family. This was a longshot to say the least. Everyone is videotaped in the jail and yet in true Casey fashion we are  to believe that she deserves to be above that? Not so much. It has long been argued that the entire Anthony family seems to believe they do not have to follow the rules, so of course Casey wouldn’t think she would have to follow the rules of the correctional system. Yet what exactly is it that she believes she has done to deserve special treatment? While I do believe that she revels a bit in her “celebrity” status, sadly she doesn’t seem to realize that the notariety she has received is not from doing something great,not for  aiding the world in any way, and certainly not for  being a positive role model for young girls. Casey Anthony has grabbed the attention of this world because she killed her own daughter. She did the unthinkable, the unimaginable, and the unforgivable. Furthermore, she refused and still refuses to aid in any way in the investigation, yet maintains her innocence. However, her actions, the evidence and reports say otherwise.

    Any mother who is like most mothers knows what it is like to carry a child for nine months and have that child placed in your arms the moment they enter this great big world. There are not enough words to describe that feeling, there is no other love that compares. No marriage, relationship or family love is even able to be measured against it. The day that most mothers become mothers, the only one sure thing in this life is that they will protect that child at any cost.

     Yet Casey Anthony isn’t like most mothers. She never grasped the beauty of these miraculous little creatures that we are given, never understood what a gift they are, never realized that she was given the opportunity to do something greater than any accomplishment in this life. Raise a child, teach a child, love a child and receive that unconditional love that children give to us without question.

    The biggest motion of interest of course was taking the death penalty charge away. I didn’t believe for one minute that Strickland would allow it, and after Ashtons theory of Caylees final moments, I was more certain than ever that yes she deserves the death penalty. Strickland ruled that she will face the death penalty as her possible sentence and again further verified for me that the right person is being held accountable. Possibly for the first time in her life.

     I am unable to come to a decision as far as figuring out the defense attorneys. Are they that unskilled? Are they that pompus that they think they will out talk the state and get their way if they file a hundred thousand motions? Do they really know what they are doing? Do they see what I see? A case that is falling apart before their eyes and most is due to their own inconsitancies? In the very beginning of this case they put themselves in a corner with the “Nanny” theory and when they backtracked and began to insinutate that Roy Kronk could have killed Caylee, they did nothing more than make themselves appear inept. Andrea Lyon dug her hole in her released audio and though she will not comment on it, anyone who heard it and could be a potential juror will go into this case with a picture of her that is not very becoming. Sure they can be instructed to disregard it , but can you really?  It was said long ago that by announcing the “Nanny” theory they hung themselves, that they would have to stick to that strategy or risk the entire case. I hope Casey Anthoy understands…. They risked the entire case, therefore risking her life. Does she understand that their claims have never been backed up, that their supposed problem with this case being tried in the media is mostly their own doing? The state doesn’t do interviews, press conferences and so on. The state is waiting to try their case and after the little glimpse we have been given by Ashton, I would say the defense should be very worried.

    Judge Strickland also ruled in favor of the prosecution intheir motion to seal the record of the illegal recording from the Equisearch volunteer. He apparently gave two different accounts of his ‘search” for Caylee. I truthfully didn’t even think about this motion as I really didn’t believe the stories fromt hese volunteers. There is still no way that they all of a sudden remembered being  right there. Tim Miller is a respected man and has been forthcoming during his search, specifically when he stated that he was unable to search that area due to the water. To say that he lied is to say that a year and a half ago he knew Caylee would have been there, or that he knew someone was going to put her there after Casey was incarcerated… Doesn’t add up to me.

     George and Cindy were on the “Today” show again and in no shocking surprise maintain their support for Casey. In George’s own words: “I don’t believe my daughter could hurt anyone, I really don’t believe that. I don’t believe Cindy and I could bring someone into this world who would want to hurt somebody, especially their own daughter,”  Cindy also commented stating: “I can’t accept what I’ve been told, because I don’t believe they’ve done a full investigation, and I would like them to continue to do so. There’s a lot of evidence out there that has not been looked into,”

    I beleive wholeheartedly that what they are saying is indeed how they feel. How can they believe that their own daughter is capable of this? How can they begin to process that and not have a mental breakdown? I have never personally been in this situation or anything remotely close to this situation, and yet I assume that if Ihad to look at one of my sons as being a cold calculated murderer, much less as the one who murdered his own child, my grandchild, my mind would take me to place I would never want to be. Cindy claiming that a full investigation has never been done helps her not come to that conclusion. Just as the defense is trying to cast doubt in the minds of potential jurors, they have been able to cast doubt in Cindys mind. If she believes that Casey is a target of a personal attack by law enforcement then she has an explanation as to why her daughter is behind bars, why the investigation stopped and why nobody else is being arrested. This theory allows her to hold on to that hope that Casey could not have done this. It also allows her to not put the guilt on herself for not holding her accountable as a child for anything, for fixing her mistakes, and for forcing her to be a mother.

     What they don’t seem to see about their daughter is that she was willing to take anyone down with her that she could. Claims that her brother sexually molested her and those claims led to him being forced to take a lie detector test and DNA tests done to exclude him from possibly being the father of Caylee. Claims that her mother tried to make Caylee call her mommy instead of Casey, claims that her father (although in a round about way) also molested her. They fail to see that the next people who the defense may raise suspicion on is them. In a way they already have, stating that while those searches on the computer are fact, it doesn’t make Casey the one who did them. It only states that someone in that house searched those things and she was not the only one who used the computer. These are the things they need to pay attention to. The evidence is not their job, the investigators obviously have all they need. Andrea Lyon claims that the state is seeking the death penalty in a way to either get a more bised jury or to make Casey cop to a plea deal. However last time I checked Casey hasn’t been offered a deal. If the state didn’t have solid evidence and testimony to back that evidence up, the death penalty would have never come back. Furthermore, they don’t need a deal, they have what they need. The rest is just details…..

THE MOTIONS, THE INTERVIEW, THE MONEY…OH AND A CRUISE…

   JUDGE STRICKLAND RULES ON MOTION TO 

DISMISS MURDER CHARGES   

    The defense previously filed a motion to dismiss the murder charges against Casey Anthony and Judge Strickland ruled on that motion today. As many assumed it was not even considered. However, the defense team has really put it’s foot in it’s mouth this time. They now have until February 1, 2010 to provide evidence that they claim they have showing that someone else placed Caylee’s body in the woods while Casey was in jail.

     The mistakes made in filing this motion  truly makes me wonder if Casey Anthony is the least bit worried that her life is in this teams hands because I would be scared to death. It seems to me that if a lawyer is filing a motion to have a death penalty charge dropped they would dot every I and cross every T twice. Yet they failed to provide the witness list needed to support their claims.

     Linda Drane Burdick ripped the motion apart with the following statement: “It’s a farce. It doesn’t even come close to the legal requirements necessary for the court to even entertain a motion to dismiss, the entire motion, from top to bottom, it is replete with errors, it’s insufficient as a matter of law.”

    When Strickland explained that Casey Anthony had not sworn to the proper and legally required facts necessary to ask him to dismiss Andrea Lyon should have just not spoken. Her argument was not an argument at all. “It cannot be the intent of the Florida legislature that a person swear to something that they do not have personal knowledge of.”

    Jose Baez spoke with Kathi Belich following the hearing and as usual he had something very important to say: 

“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

  **For those of you who are not familiar with Baez and his statements, I will translate this for you: ” I have no idea what the hell I am supposed to do now” **

     In the motion that was made to stop the video recordings of jail visits the defense notified the wrong agency. WHAT?? They were supposed to notify the Orange County Government who has run the jail since 1987 and instead notified the Orange County Sherriffs Office about the hearing. Oh what will they say about that?

***HERE IS A LINK TO STRICKLANDS RULING ON THE MOTION

http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21316613/detail.html

LEE ANTHONY: 

                 TRIAL DATE SET IN CHECK FRAUD CASE

    The defense did not get what they wanted as far as the check fraud trial being delayed until after the murder trial. A while back it was said that by delaying the fraud trial it would be harder for a jury to convict anyone with no prior record. I am not sure who took that poll but I would have no problem convicting Casey Anthony for what she did with or without a prior conviction. It doesn’t matter to me whether she took a million dollars from someone or whether she would have given someone a million dollars, she is still to me a cold hearted murderer.

 

GEORGE, CINDY AND LEE’S TRANSCRIPTS RELEASED

FROM THEIR INTERVIEWS WITH PROSECUTORS

     When the Anthony’s were interviewed by the prosecutors in August this past year they claim that there are many inconsistencies in George’s story. Surprised? Not at all, it seems like the entire family has had many forgetful moments, statements that they didn’t mean, and just out and out lies.

     One thing he did state and I believe he was telling the truth is that he never asked Casey about the incident involving Caylee. His reason being they all believed the house was bugged. So what if he thought the house was bugged! Isn’t he the one who wanted to know no matter what or who exactly what happened to his grand daughter? Yet here we see another attempt to coddle and protect Casey. My only hope is that the obstruction charges aren’t being filed until after this whole mess is over, but are definately being considered. Here are the links to the transcripts from the interviews:

GEORGE:    http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21310228/detail.html

  ** FINALLY! While everyone knew the Anthony’s were profiting from this horrible tragedy, George admits that the family has taken thousands of dollars from interviews and that Brad Conway is negotiating a book deal.  I have alot of thoughts about this but I will leave you to have your own…

CINDY:   http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21310276/detail.html

                  http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21310288/detail.html

     ***Interesting little piece of information I thought: Cindy admits that she never saw the trunk of the car that supposedly had rotten pizza and maggots in it. She claims that she got that information from George. hmmm

LEE ANTHONY:http://www.wftv.com/pdf/21310241/detail.html

 

All in all it wasn’t a great day for the defense. They did win the motion to have the images of the crime scene and autopsy copied to give to their experts. However, I did find Strickland to be extra cautious and was infatic about his concern that those photos would be released or leaked. Baez assured him that the only ones who will see them are those who need to, even stating that those on the defense team that had nothing to do with that portion of the investigation would not see them.

    *******************************************************************************

GEORGE AND CINDY 48 HOURS INTERVIEW

     If you have followed this case from the beginning, you have learned by now that the interviews advertised as exclusive and promising never before answers to questions in this case are nothing more than another payday for all of those involved.

     The latest interview hosted by 48 hours was the same interview we have heard over and over. This time the defense team joined the Anthonys and Brad Conway was also present. The defense team continues to state that the prosecution is leaking information and trying this case in the media. Yet again it is the defense team sitting infront of the cameras not the state. I don’t understand how it is that the defense continues to whine and moan that the case is being tried in the media and yet they continue to give interviews…

     It has been reoprted that the Anthony’s were paid 20,000.00 for licensing fees, Brad Conway 3,000.00 for who knows what and I have not heard anything about the defense. Yet I wonder if in fact the Anthony’s was only a cut of the licensing fees as I seem to remember the last licensing fee for ohotos was 250,000.00.So although I am speculating I just wonder if the fee was higher and being used to fund the defense…

   It appears as though the Anthony’s along with Lee and Mallory continue to struggle while not being able to find work due to the meda coverage in this case. In fact they struggled so much that they decided to go on a  cruise while the 48hours interview aired. When asked about the crusie Cindy Anth0ny replied to WFTV: YOU GUYS PAID FOR THE TRIP” She then of course was her usual snipppity self and said” THANKS FOR RUINING OUR TRIP!” 

     All in all there was of course nothing new to report in the case, there was however, lots of continued denial, blame, and whining…. My only hope is one day this will be about Caylee…

SO THE DUCT TAPE WAS DESTROYED? THERE IS WAY MORE TO WORRY ABOUT…

     There were over a 1000 documents released today including numerous emails between Cindy Anthony and Dominic Casey, lab results, interviews, tips and so on. While I of course cannot post the entire 1000+pages , I will post links and give my thoughts as to what stood out and grabbed my attention.

*THE FIRST 100 PAGES: http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146565.pdf

  *Page 2:    An email that was sent to Lee Anthony from a Cindy in Texas listing all the reasons that she believes that Casey and Cindy are telling the truth about Zenaida G. I was amazed at how this woman was able to “twist” the circumstances to make them bend in Casey’s favor. The most outlandish statement of the email was one where she refers to the “flurry” of phone calls that we are all aware Casey made on the 17th. Now we all have our own thoughts on what these seemingly desperate attempts to contact Cindy or George were but this one is by far the most amusing:                                                                                               ****It seems as though this woman believes that the flurry of phone calls on the 17th was Casey desperate to find a sitter and when she was unable to reach anyone she “settled” for this Zenaida to watch her.

  *Page 5:        Dominic Casey was interested in Lee Anthony doing an internship with him.  I was unable to find out if there was ever an agreement or if Lee ever did in fact begin working with him.

*Page19:    In an email to Lee Dominc asks him to check into Will and refers to a visit on 7/29/08. If I am reading this correctly it appears that he asked Casey who Will was and his response to Lee was : ” Obvious answer, a friend! Interesting” Sounds like Mr. Casey was already a little fed up with Ms. Casey 🙂  The conversation continues on page 20 with Lee answering Dominic’s question about finding out who Brittney is as Will spoke about her in his blog. Lee’s answer was: ” I sure know who Brittney sounds like to me ” I wonder what that meant. He listed a link to the myspace page he referred to and although I have not gone back to check I am sure it is one we have seen before as these are conversations from September of 2008. I also found it amusing that the people Dominic refers to as the  ” Index of Players” (ex: Nate, Will, Ricardo) are accused of seeking their 5 minutes of fame… Hmmm, “Hi Pot have you met Kettle?”

*Page 29:  This is a picture of the Zenaida that Dominic has located and has asked Cindy to see if they are able to get it to Casey for a positive ID. Now I don’t know about anyone elses thoughts but this woman is a little too hot to be a Nanny and furthermore it looks like a picture from a professional photographer. Just thinking aloud…

PAGE 34:    HUMBLES BLOG HAS MADE IT INTO THE EVIDENCE.  Apparently they do read on the internet as Cindy forwarded Humbles post about Michelle Bart to her. They are claiming that Humble was posing as Michelle Bart… We all know that was not the case. The post referred to was the one where Humble posed questions to Michelle Bart. Now I have to ask her to refresh my memory but I am not sure if she answered them or another poster. Either way, is this helping find Caylee??

Another few little interesting tidbits from these first pages:

• On pg 46 Cindy sends an email to D. Casey asking if the media and States Attorney Office can be introuble for leaking the grand jury hearing about Casey. ( Now I think we all know where the leaks come from)
• page 48 it seems as though they are really tring to discredit Kronk
• The remaining are all leads, people they are looking into and on more than occasion Cindy does seem to be focusing on Jesse and Ricardo, although individually.

THE NEXT 100 PAGES: http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146581.pdf

     Alot of the same kind of emails between Cindy and Dominic. They definately do not like Richard Grund. Also some  other interesting pages:

• Pages 13-17 are Dominic Casey’s list of people to be cautious of for the memorial service. Surprisingly Leonard Padilla is on there. More humorusly is Nancy Grace. Wow these people really do think they are above all.
• Page 18 is an email in which Dominic tells Cindy that he found out Jessica D’onfrio is having an affair with a detective. Good PI work, definately helping to bring Caylee home.
• Pages 27 and 28 are filled with coorespondance from a Deborah Millikan in which she claims she has very priviledged information of how Zenaida Gonzales is scamming. She also asks to not reveal her identity as she is acting in the utmost confidence. Hmm… wonder how that went.

The emails continue along with searches for Zenaida Gonzales.

THE NEXT 65 PAGES: http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146692.pdf

This is a continuation with searches for Zenaida Gonzales in numerous states and there is also a letter from Dominic Casey to Jose Baez terminating their agreement.

SEVEN PAGES OF INFORMATION ON THE DUCT TAPE: THE BRAND, SALES AND SO ON. http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146648.pdf

ANNIE DOWNING INTERVIEW WITH LE: http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146722.pdf

     I know I have read some of this before but do not believe I have done so in its enitrety. She has seemed credible to me from the beginning, and appears to be heartbroken at the relaization that her best friend was someone she did not know at all. I thin she was truly shocked to hear that Casey was making her out to be some sort of a dealer for Xanax and believe her when she says she never gave her any pills. She doesn’t like Jesse yet her reasoning is the way he approached her in the days following the realization that Caylee was missing.

She speaks of the Anthony’s acting as though they believed the house was bugged and Casey’s statement about I have so much to tell you when this is all over.

I do believe that although she didn’t have alot of information about Caylee’s disappearance her testimony will be valuable. She confirmed Casey lying about working to go out and Cindy calling to basically say come home and take care of your daughter, Casey was with her the day Cindy called and found out about the credit card charges, although at the time she believed that Cindy was mad that Casey didn’t register for school.

She is a good witness as to the turmoil in the home, the character of Casey (ie: “we all knew she lied all the time”),and I believe her statement about if Casey did this she didn’t do it alone, she was not that smart. speaks volumes.

INTERVIEW WITH JAMES THOMPSON: http://www.clickorlando.com/download/2009/0929/21146711.pdf

     This is very interesting to me. James Thompson owns a computer store that Casey visited with Caylee. He took notice of Casey immediately as she was attractive. He claims Caylee was well behaved and shy and that he was horrified when he gave her a beanie baby for being so good. He said that he could not believe the reaction from Casey, it was one of jealousy. He also saw them the next day at the store and felt sorry for Caylee as she was walking through the parking lot ten feet behind Casey and had to open the door by heself as Casey was walking far ahead of her.

     This is something of importance also: Casey asked to write a check for a new monitor and when he said he couldn’t take checks she said she would have to come back. Hmm…

  MY THOUGHTS AFTER READING :

     I am not any different than anyone else who has been captured by this case since the beginning. I am filled with emotion for a little girl I never knew. Is that because it seems as though nobody else cared about her once the investigation came full circle and on paper she went from a missing child to a murdered child? I don’t know what it is that exactly drew me to this case as there are hundreds of children who go missing daily, and while I always pray for their safe return, Caylee’s case has been one who never leaves my mind for long.

     After reading through all of these documents, I am still amazed at the family dynamics. There is no one throughout this entire thing who took George and Cindy and shook them and said “YOU HAVE TO FACE THE FACT THAT YOUR GRAND DAUGHTER IS NO LONGER HERE BECAUSE HER MOTHER KILLED HER!” As I have seen evidence many times that they do in fact read everything on the internet, at some point would you not weigh the facts, evidence, and most importantly the common sense that is out there? How do you condemn those who have read it all, can see clearly from the outside and want nothing more than a little girl to finally be at peace?Yet are so quick to embrace those who give ridiculous visions and claims of where she is? I can only imagine that we would all like to believe that quite possibly every piece of evidence is wrong were we walking this mile, yet at some point reality has to set in and common sense has to take over. Just like Annie Downing had to realize that the friend she thought she knew was not a friend at all and incapable of being a friend, George and Cindy have to realize that Casey is not the good daughter, loving mother and care taker they thought she was.

To read the items that were collected at the scene was so sad. How do you take a child that you created, and throw her amongst broken beer bottles, trash, and make it someones elses job to sort through it all? How do you say “this is a great place for me to put her to rest?” How as a mother do you find the capability to remove yourself from feeling anything for a little one who counts on you to show her the way?

     I don’t care one bit about the duct tape being destroyed, as far as I am concerned there is a whole lot more that the defense should worry about. The account of the computer store man was enough for me. I can just see Casey walking through the parking lot as if she had not a care in the world and leaving Caylee to fend for herself. That’s the Casey I think we have all come to see throughout this.

     If after reading these documents and I was on the jury, there would be no one able to sway me from GUILTY, AND MOST DEFINATELY THE DEATH PENALTY! CASEY ANTHONY ONLY CARES ABOUT CASEY ANTHONY. EVEN NOW AS THIS IS GOING ON, THE VERY PEOPLE SHE CALLED FRIENDS ARE THE ONES SHE IS WILLING TO LET TAKE THE FALL FOR THIS. SHE IS A COLD HEARTED, MANIPULATIVE PERSON WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO FEEL COMPASSION FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING.

ANOTHER DOCUMENT DUMP, ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN…

     I just finished reading through 358 pages of new discovery documents released, and I hope Jose Baez has more up his sleeve than: ” My client is innocent” Nothing in the latest documents gave any sign that Casey Anthony was a distraught mother looking for her child. What it did confirm is that she was a liar over and over and over. Amy H.’s text messages showed her absolute heartbreak and overwhelming concern for Cayleee once she realized this person she thought was such a great friend was a cold and callous person. I believe it was Tony’s text if I am not mistaken that showed he could not even fathom who this person was and how she could do this. What I saw as a group of people who when notified that this little girl was gone rallied for her. It didn’t matter what her mother had done to them, they were willing to band together and put all their effort into finding her.

     The cell phone records and timeline for cell phone usage were pretty interesting. Did the Anthony’s know that Casey was in their house almost everyday with the exception of two days? The cell phone pings were so precise, and they were able to pinpoint exactly where she was during each hour of the day. Over on Marinade Daves blog there has been much controversy as to what day people think Caylee was killed. I think reading the times and locations of the cellphone use will open that discussion way up again… ( Good luck Dave!)

There are photos, a 3d “fly by” of the area where Caylee’s remains were found, subpeonas for cell phone records and for cell phone numbers that they either were not able to identify or were trying to identify as Zenaida Gonzales. There are maps of the cell phone areas where Casey was, wire taps for The Anthony’s cell phones, home phone, and friends cell phones.

The release today also stated that there was no blood evidence found in Casey Anthony’s car. While she may sit back and think she can breathe a sigh of relief, SHE CAN”T! There was still human decomposition and just because it was homocide does not mean there was blood.

     When I read through the text messages of her friends they were like any normal friend text messages. Where they were going, what they were doing and so on. Yet when I read all the ones from Casey even from the beginning of her talking to Amy, I see a girl who is almost leech like. She texts numerous times a day from the beginning as if the first thing she does in the morning when she wakes up is think of what her friends are doing. Now if you are fifteen that’s fine, but when you are a mother you should be entirely too busy in the morning to wonder about your friends right away. She spun lies right from the get, always seeming to promise to do something and then falling through. Using Caylee as an excuse for not going to look at a phony house she was sure they were moving into. At one point you can see Amy almost be hesitant and say that she just wants to be sure that this is for real because she needs to move. She of course was lured back in by another tragedy happening to Casey that made her unable to keep her appointment… If you have ever had a friend like this, and I have, you know how easy it seems to be for them to spin these lies in hindsight. Yet while it is happening you can’t think that because they are so convincing, they come up with things too quickly and they never get caught. When my girlfriends and I talk now about this particular friend we had, we are amazed at ourselves that we never saw it. That she was able to juggle all these lies and never once did we catch on…

      Bill Schaeffer said on an interview that he will be surprised if half of this evidence will even be used in trial. I wonder is that because they won’t need it, or because it isn’t important? I being a citizen would want every piece of evidence shown to me possible if I was a juror deciding someone’s life. The lives that have been scarred by the act of a selfish and spoiled woman are too many to count, and the life that was taken by this same woman is worth more than the death penalty. While I believe that sitting in jail is a luxury for Casey Anthony, I also believe that death is too easy for her. So, I don’t know what the answer is to give Caylee the justice she deserves, but I know that  the justice can’t come fast enough.

Where are the Key Players Hiding? And Why?

     There has been an almost eerie quiet surrounding the Casey Anthony case. Maybe to some it does not seem that way, but when I think about the last year and the coverage of this case, it appears as though those who could not be front and center enough have quietly faded into the background. There is no more media hype, no more Cindyisms, no reports on what Casey bought at the commissary( although I am not complaining about that), no more Leonard Padilla remembering an interesting piece of information, and so on.

     So that leads to me to wonder why? Has Jose Baez learned that he looks like a moron when he opens his mouth on tv? Has Brad Conway finally been able to control the Anthony’s? Has Leonard Padilla moved on to something new? 

     It seems to me that Jose Baez became very quiet once Andrea Lyon arrived on the scene… Perhaps she has told him that he is losing this case in the media and that he is no longer to give statements? Because even his interview with Holly Bristow recently was a little more subdued.

     The State recently requested information from George and Cindy Anthony. While they will not comment on what it is they wanted, it is been said that it is pertaining to the information they have that took place between them and their private investigators. Dominic Casey and James Hoover are the PIs that worked for the Anthony’s and followed up on leads pertaining to Caylee. There have been alot of questions about how involved these two were, how many leads they didn’t forward to LE, and the biggest question of all: Who sent Dominic Casey into the woods to find Caylee? He has said that he was talking to two different people, refused to give up cell phone records, did not show up at the deposition for Zenaida Gonzales, and it has been speculated that there was more than a working relationship with Cindy Anthony.

     Normally over the last year if the Anthony’s were going to court, or going anywhere for that matter, they were all over the media. The statements Cindy made are the very ones that have led most to believe she should be charged with obstruction. She normally would be taking every opportunity to run off at the mouth. Yet, this time their Attorney Brad Conway delivered the documents needed so as to not have the Anthony’s even need to be at a hearing. Are they finally able to see that they are doing nothing but damaging any hopes for their daughter to be found of anything less than guilty? Did Brad Conway finally get the control he should have had long ago?

     The prosecution recently requested the transcripts from the hearing behind closed doors on March 25th. The hearing was to determine how the defense was being paid and if there was any conflict of interest. It was said that the meeting was attended by the court reporter and that the transcripts were to be used in the trial. However, there appears to be no transcript of the meeting???? It was said that the meeting weas held off record. Is that allowed? I don’t know, but I know that it sure sounds strange to me that the one thing that causes so many to believe that someone is making money off this case is done off record.

     My thinking is that everyone involved in this case is quietly fading into the background in hopes that many will forget about this case. If they don’t stay front and center then perhaps by time the trial comes there will be more of a chance for them to persuade a jury that Casey is a victim? Not if they call the bloggers of wordpress to sit on the jury…

JUSTICE IS STILL A LONG WAYS AWAY FOR CAYLEE…

     While it seems like I haven’t written about Caylee in a long time, I have been reading and reading and reading some more.

     The media has been pretty quiet if compared to the last year, only a few little stories here and there. The delay of the trial was probably one of the biggest disappointments so far. According to the motion filed, it is because the trial will conflict with Dr. Andrea Lyons teaching schedule. So for now the pre trial is set for January 2010. Of course by January 2010 I am sure they will find many other motions to file. Is it believeable that Casey Anthony could sit in jail for three years before this case will even go to trial? Now, I am not of course affiliated in any way with the criminal justice system but, maybe the good Dr. could have graciously stepped aside if this case was too much… Just a thought. I don’t think that Casey deserves to have the luxury of sitting in jail and waiting. However, our justice system says she does.

     The prosecution filed a motion to have the check fraud charges go to trial within two months. I’m not sure who poited it out to me but it was said that it is because if they have a prior conviction at the time of her trial for Caylees murder it is easier to get the deathpenalty conviction as opposed to someone with no previous record. Of course Baez wants it delayed until after the murder trial. Imagine that! One thing I do know, even though Baez to me is the most unqualified attorney I have seen, by the end of this whole saga he should be quite the expert should a defendant want to have their trial delayed or file every possible motion there is in order to delay.

     In the civil suit pertaining to Zenaida Gonzales, a court date has been set to hold Dominic Casey in contempt for not appearing at his scheduled deposition. D. Casey claims that the information he has pertaining to this case is priviledged and private. The lawyers for Zenaida believe otherwise and are also asking that Cindy, George and Lee Anthony be forced to answer the questions that they refused to during their depositions. This will supposedly take place during September.

     JOSE BAEZ SENT A CHECK TO BANK OF AMERICA! This to me is the epitome of STUPID STUPID STUPID! It appears as though a check for the exact amount of money stolen from Amy H.’s account by Casey Anthony was sent to Bank of America by Jose Baez’s office. Bank of America sent a letter confirming receipt of the money order however stated that the payment does not stop any criminal charges against the defendant. I have to admit that this really made me laugh. What the h*ll was he thinking? I know that it has been stated that he will be able to say that Amy was reimbursed by the bank and that Casey has paid back the money so there is no need for a trial. However, if Casey is not working and Baez has no rights to any monies obtained by any story or pictures sold, who paid the debt? Well it came from his office but who did it really come from?

     This leads right into the prosecution filing another motion to re open the inquiry as to how the defense is being funded. They want the transcripts from the closed door meeting that took place in which it was decided that there was no conflict of interest and that Casey Anthony nor the defense has to reveal the source of income that is paying the defense. Hmmm… this will be interesting.

     Jose Baez recently gave an interview with Holly Bristow and when asked about his initial thoughts on this case he claimed he thought it was a simple case of “child neglect”. FIRST OF ALL, CHILD NEGLECT IS NOT “SIMPLE” ! Secondly why was that his intial thought? She was “missing” for thirty one days and supposedly taken by the “Nanny” so why would her lawyer believe it was neglect? Oh I just love when he speaks, he really gives himself away in so many ways.

     Lastly, the media has filed a motion to get the blocked tape from the jail released. Haven’t heard much on this, but don’t really care if they do or don’t. I don’t need to see the reaction of Casey to decide whether or not I think she killed her daughter… She did plain and simple.

     For now, we wait again for Caylee to get the justice she deserves. I hope Casey is enjoying her time and not too bored in her jail cell. I hope she isn’t still crying that she has nobody… Who did Caylee have???

On a side note: There have been some great posts written lately over at Marinade Daves blog, Mystery and Elf  Ninos. Check them out they are very insightful!

The Anthony’s Are Shocked, Huckaby Is Crazy, and Again What About Haleigh?

     The Anthony Family has released a statement through their attorney stating that they are in shock over the State’s decision to put the death penalty back on the table. Lee Anthony’s attorney has said that his client is in shock at the horror of it. The attorney for the Anthony’s went on to say that they still will stand behind their daughter and that if a jury of 12 can convict her of this they will deal with that then. Of course Jose Baez has a statement, and as usual it was a stupid one. He stated that while he would not comment on Casey’s reaction to the news, she was well aware that this was an option and that she knows the “forces” that are out to get her…

The Anthony’s are shocked? I am shocked that they continue this whole charade time after time. Have they even watched themselves on the depositions? Do they know that they are not helping the daughter that they so desperately believe? Does Cindy realize that the public no longer needs to wonder how Casey Anthony learned to lie that boldly?

If a jury convicts they will deal with that then? Oh they will convict, maybe not death but life for sure. So why not deal with it now? Why not stand up and be the parents for once and hold her accountable for murdering your own grand child? You are so quick to snap at others for referring to your grand daughter as the remains, yet how about the fact that you can’t even get your daughter to refer to her at all without changing the subject or throwing a fit?

Lee Anthony is in shock and horror? Why? Because you realize that you like your parents are looking just as guilty as your sister? That you lied under oath? That you have been taped just as your mother was and now feel as though you were set up? No, it was Caylee who was set up. Set up to be the pawn in this sick games your family plays of control and lies.

Jose Baez: The forces? Really. The only ones who are out to get Casey Anthony are the people who are seeking justice for that baby and the rest of the people who live in the real world. You continue to claim that this is done because she wouldn’t accept a plea deal. I would say she had very bad legal advice in this matter. The state doesn’t prosecute on emotion, they prosecute on evidence. And unfortunately for your client she left enough of it around for them to have a hey day! Have you thought of the fact that maybe they don’t want to deal? Maybe they really are going to put your client to death. Instead of filing all these childish motions, I would say it would be in your best interest to find a way to defend your client, she is really going to need it…

MELISSA HUCKABY: Her ex husband stated that she did suffer from some mental illness, but he never thought she would commit an act of violence.

This was more than an act of violence. This was an act that only a monster would commit. Now her attorney wants to exhume Sandras body to prove she is  innocent? TOO BAD! Let that poor family grieve and heal. There is nothing on that body that will prove she is innocent. She knows right from wrong, that is why she confessed. Her guilt ate her up and she couldn’t take it anymore. So maybe in a moment of weakness she caved, but she gave too much information before that. Quite possibly there are more people involved int his but even so, she was the one who had this child in her home. Therefore, should anyone have suggested that they harm this little girl, if she was completely innocent she would have not been part of the cover up. She would have fought to keep that child out of harms way.

Lets not waste another year on this case like Casey Anthony. An eye for an eye…

HALEIGH CUMMINGS:   NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING!!!!

     Well I shouldn’t say nothing. It was reported last night that Ron Cummings was fired from his job for failure to return to work . Guess what? He is filing a suit against them. So let’s see what we have here and maybe somewhere in there we will see two parents desperatley trying to find their little girl:

• CRYSTAL SHEFFIELD FILES A SUIT AGAINST RONALD CUMMINGS FOR CHILD ABUSE ALLEGATIONS.
• CRYSTAL SHEFFIELD FILES FOR FULL CUSTODY OF HER SON AND DAUGHTER ( WHO IS MISSING)
• RONALD CUMMINGS MARRIES HIS 17 YEAR OLD GIRLFRIEND. (THE LAST ONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY SAW HIS DAUGHTER ALIVE)
• RONALD CUMMINGS FILES A COUNTER SUIT AGAINST CRYSTAL SHEFFIELD FOR DEFAMATION.
• CRYSTAL SHEFFIELD GOES ON TV TO TELL THE WORLD THAT SHE IS IN FEAR THAT HER SON WILL BE TAKEN NEXT YET PLASTERS HIS FACE ALL OVER THE TV.
• CRYSTAL’S LAWYER TELLS THE MEDIA THAT SHE DID THE INTERVIEW TO LET THE WORLD KNOW SHE IS A GOOD MOM.
• THE BUG FOUNDATION IS STARTED AND CRYSTAL IS THE CEO. THEY ASK FOR DONATIONS TO HELP OTHER FAMILIES WHO ARE MISSING THEIR CHILDREN. (SHOUDN’T YOU FIND YOUR CHILD FIRST?)
• A MEDIA OUTLET SHOWS THAT CRYSTAL IS SEEKING MONETARY DONATIONS SO THAT SHE MAY STAY IN THE AREA TO HELP LOOK FOR HALEIGH. ( SHE DIDN’T WORK SO SHE HASN’T LOST ANY MONEY)

I WOULD SAY WITH ALL THIS EFFORT HALEIGH SHOULD BE HOME ANYDAY….

THE LATEST DISCOVERY DOCUMENTS… NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR CASEY ANTHONY

     The latest release of discovery documents speak volumes into the type of person Casey Anthony and the level of dysfunction that this family has operated on for years.

     The saddest thing for me to realize in this entire ordeal is that this family could have stopped this behavior from Casey long ago if only she was taught that every action has a consequence. They seemed more concerned with the “look” of the famliy and shoving all the tell tale signs under the carpet.

     Shirley Pleasa as most people are aware is Casey Anthony’s maternal grandmother. While I have read little pieces of statements she has given over the course of the entire investigation, to read through her interview that took place at her home showed that she is quite possibly the only person in this family who is not looking at the situation with rose colored glasses on.

     She appears to be a sweet old grandma who is truly heart broken at what is going on in her family.She believes that Casey has stolen somewhere around 45,000 from George and Cindy and as we all know she herself was a victim of her own grand daughter. It appears that Cindy has tried to shield her from alot of what was going on and I don’t think that was because she was being under handed. I think she truly did not want to upset her mother.

     When Shirley told Cindy about the money that Casey had taken, Cindy replied that she was sorry and that she would pay her back. This to me says so much. It seemed as though Cindy was always cleaning up Casey’s mess..

     When I read through all of the events that Shirley told the detectives, it appears as though denial is nothing new in this family. From the pregnancy to the insinuation that even the grandmother knew Casey had no income, it seems like Cindy always tried to sugar coat things.

     The one thing that was re iterated and has been over and over is the fact that Caylee was Cindy’s life. Shirley made an interesting comment. Something like, and I am para phrasing: ” If Cindy does not believe Casey, then she will have to deal with the fact that Caylee is probably dead”

     I do think Cindy had gotten completely fed up with Casey, but unfortunately it was too late by the time that happened. In my own opinion, I think that Cindy has so much guilt for things that she should or could have done. I am sure she wishes that she wishes she would have beaten the hell out of her and refused to let Caylee leave with her. While I know that she would have thrown Casey to the wolves if it meant saving Caylee, I do think that as a grand mother who worked full time, ran a house and was the main care giver in a two year old childs life, she was tired. I know from my own mother. She is a 61 year old grandmother of 11 and the greatest grandmother that we could ever wish for our children to have. She spends alot of time with all of them. But when she has had it, she has had it. I cannot imagine that raising any of them full time would be easy. I am only 37 and have two teenagers. To think about starting all over with a newborn is something I am not sure I even have the stamina for. 

     Jeffrey Hopkins interview was another piece of information included in the discovery. I have heard bits and pieces of this before and am just astounded that Casey was able to spin lie after lie. To actually have the gall to implicate someone who you never really knew, much lesss a guy who never even had any children shows that mentally she lives in her own world without fear of any consequence. 

     The snake discovery was something I had heard but never really knew the story. I just wonder why the man who retreived the snake put it in his freezer instead of notifying police?  

     The evidence collected was a Dora back pack filled with pull ups, wipes, a tooth brush, toothpate and a comb. It appears as though there were no fingerprints on any of the items in the backpack, or so the report stated. There was a bag with five napkins, a child shirt and a belt. From the car was shoes, cds, and a car seat.

     With all the interviews, evidence, and forensic tests that were done on the car, it seems like there is not a chance in hell that Casey Anthony will be able to get away with the murder of Caylee. But then I think about the statements that Det. Melich made to Shirley Pleasea about Cindy being so cooperative in the beginning and then completely flipping on them in a way that made her seem almost deceptive. I go back and forth in my thinking that she is covering up for Casey and then I think no, she is in complete denial. I wonder if all the money issues that were blamed on George were really all him? Is it possible that Casey knew what was going on and took advantage of that knowing that Cindy would blame George for credit card bills and missing money?

     I only know that with each document dump, each new piece of evidence revealed, and each new excerpt of an interview; if Casey Anthony walks free and does not pay for the multiple multiple wrongs she has done, I will have no faith in this justice system.

Cindy Has Alot of Explaining To Do I Would Say

     According to the Blink on Crime Website, it looks like Cindy Anthony will have alot of explaining to do, and I for one will be surprised if she is not charged with a crime.

     It appears as though back in August Keith Williams who grew up on the same street as the Anthony’s was directed by a psychic to the woods where Caylees remains were later found. The woman is the mother of a friend of his and lives in Texas. She told him what to look for and where, and amazingly she told him what he would find.

      He went to the woods on August 18th and found a bag filled with clothes, a childs sandal and stuffed animals. Upon finding this he went to the Anthony home and was greeted by Cindy. He explained that he was the older brother of a girl who was very close to Casey and that he was told to go into the woods and find this bag. He said at that point Cindy rifled through the bag and said that nothing looked familiar and that they were sure that Caylee was alive and kidnapped by Zenaida Fernadez Gonzales. He stated that she was polite but curt. He said that Cindy told him that they had their own investigators working on it.He says that he returned to the site and called police, but did not tell them that he first went to the Anthony home.  

     Approximately two weeks ago Keith Williams ran into George Anthony at the Amscot and after locking his keys in his car George gave him a ride home. They spoke of Caylee and he expressed how sorry he was for their loss. He claims that George Anthony feels very guilty about the death of his granddaughter. 

     The day that Blink posted the interview they had with Williams, he received a phone call from George Anthony and Jose Baez. Apparently Baez is very interested in talking with him. Although prior to this story breaking he claims that he had called to speak with Baez and was told they would give him the message and he has never heard back until now. When asked what George Anthony was calling for, he states that he just wanted to talk. 

      So, in August it is brought to Cindy’s attention that there is some speculation that Caylee could be in this area. Yet, she dismisses the very thought of it, and yet will travel to California to look into a tip? Too many things do not add up when it comes to Cindy Anthony. Although it makes sense why Dominic Casey had been searching that area now doesn’t it? 

     While the report cannot be confirmed, Williams claims that the psychic told him where Caylee’s body was and he was only feet from it. She told him to bring a shovel as it would be a shallow grave. She also warned that Caylee’s bones would be in the dirt not in the bag…The psychic apparently told him how Caylee died and who killed her, though blink will not release it as it is not confirmed.  Williams claims that he was looking on the wrong side of the wooded area. Had he went to the right it is possible that Caylee would have been found in October . 

     I am not sure how credible this information will turn out to be, but if you read the entire transcript from Blink it is very chilling.  Cindy Anthony seems to be in the center of this whole thing as many have suspected from the beginning. It is claimed that she knew about Caylee and that Casey confessed to her… Now this I am not sure of because I do not believe that Casey would have ever confessed to Cindy of all people due to her fear of what Cindy would do to her. ( Remember her interview with LE: ” My mother will never forgive me” )

     There are going to be a lot of things that come out that have not as of yet and I think many of them are going to give alot insight into the minds of this twisted family. My only hope is that they all don’t walk away scott free and without being made to understand that this baby was two years old. She had her whole life ahead of her and greed, jealousy and control are the reason she is no longer here.
