Explanation for Casey's Sunday Release Date
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 4:07PM This was e-mailed to me by Karen Levey, Chief of Due Process Services for the Orange County Courthouse. The county requested that she distribute it. This should explain why Casey will be released from jail on Sunday.

RE: Release Date for Casey Marie Anthony
Inmate Casey Marie Anthony was found guilty of four (4) first degree misdemeanors on July 5, 2011. In anticipation of the announced sentencing on July 7, 2011, jail staff began to calculate possible outcomes in order to be responsive to the Court. One scenario that was evaluated was a sentence of four (4) consecutive one (1) year terms in the Orange County Jail.
Initial computations indicated, based on a sentence of four (4) one (1) year terms, inmate Anthony was eligible for 240 days of “statutory gain time”, awarded at the rate of 5 days per month for each of the 48 months. In addition, inmate Anthony was eligible for “constructive gain time”, as authorized by County Ordinance due to her Protective Custody status. Calculations yielded a projected release date of 8/25/11.
On July 7, 2011, Orange County Corrections advised the Court of the projected release date of 8/25/11. Shortly thereafter, the Court issued an order awarding Ms. Anthony to 1043 days time served.
In an effort to respond quickly to the Court, Corrections staff recomputed the projected release date. The amount of “statutory gain time” remained the same, but the amount of “constructive gain time” was reduced as the projected length of sentence was reduced. In the process of this rapid recalculation, inmate Anthony was inadvertently credited with “constructive gain time” for a complete month July‐August, rather than for a partial month.
This oversight resulted in the Court being advised that the projected release date was 7/13/11. As with all time served cases, staff conducted a routine secondary review of the sentence computation and discovered the oversight. Once the oversight was corrected, it was determined inmate Anthony had been erroneously awarded four (4) additional days due to the change in length of sentence. This changed the projected release date from 7/13/11 to 7/17/11. This change was immediately reported to the Court.

It's good to be back, Amber. I think almost everyone is disappointed with the verdict, but as Judge Perry likes to say, it is what it is. What I found amazing about the press conference was the resolve of the investigators. Cpl Eric Edwards sat behind me on the day of the verdict. He, Melich and Allen were up there and I never noticed them. Cpl. Edwards said he watched me typing feverishly on my iPad and as soon as the first verdict was read, I immediately stopped. He said my stopping was a statement of those events. I told him I don't remember stopping, but I was completely shocked by it. Yes, he was correct in that sense.
I do know that people will forever argue over the verdicts. I grew up in Flemington, NJ, home of the Lindbergh trial. Since then, there still exists two camps; those who believe the convicted kidnapper, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, was responsible for the toddler's death, and those who don't think he did it. My father, for example, does not think Hauptmann did it, while I think he did. Still floating around since 1893 is whether Lizzie Borden killed her parents or not. At issue in those days was the new forensic science known as fingerprinting. I guess that was the junk science of that era, but the police department refused to use it. To this day, Borden has remained a notorious figure in American folklore, and I imagine the same thing will happen with Casey. I even wrote an article comparing the two.
The Ballad of Casey
As for Casey, she's going to have to live with that reputation, and she'll take it with her to her grave.
Well, Connie, I'll have you know our Waffle Houses are high end and they keep that W burning bright at night. Actually, to be honest, that was the first time I'd been in a Waffle House since my road trip with Stewart two+ years ago. Oh, wait... there was that lunch with my courthouse buddies.
I agree that the jury misunderstood their instructions. Nope, no do overs. As far as a halfway house, if Casey were paroled, that might happen, but she walks out a free woman - not even probation, which she served. She is supposed to attend the Zenaida hearing on Friday, from the way I understand it. The intent is to address the issue before she can skate out of town. I may go to it since it will be covered by InSession (video) and the Sentinel (still). If people are still interested, I may continue writing about the civil end, but not if there's no interest. I may ask readers what they think I should do.
It's very good to be back, Connie, and thank you for hanging in there with me. You take care, too.
Terrytsk - There's no doubt Casey needs to be sent somewhere because even her defense admitted she has mental problems. Even if she's "cured", she will never be cured of lying. She will never be healed because inside her head, there's nothing wrong. No one will buy her story and that will frustrate the crap out of her. She'll be famous because of her daughter, not herself. Temper, temper, Casey. She'll never accept that!
Hi Velee! You are right about that. After all the lies, Cindy still won't have her daughter back. I don't think she ever will. Casey thinks only of herself.
Initially, the whole family DID lie for Casey, but after George was accused of sexually molesting his daughter, he had a hideous wake-up call. Cindy did and didn't, and Lee is still, well, weird.
Hi Dave, It is good to have you back. I followed you through all of the trial. Thanks for the information on blog talk radio.I have tuned in many times.
Hi Rob - Thank you very much. I feel quite comfortable back in my bungalow. Your words are very much appreciated, believe me. I know Casey/Caylee will be a tough act to follow, but I'll do my best not to let you down. Or anyone else.
Hi Dave
I followed your pointer to the Ballad of Casey. That was an absolutely terrific blog!!! You were right to compare this case with the Lindburgh Baby case and the Lizzie Borden Case. This case could keep the public's attention and imagination as long as those cases did and have.
I do hope you keep us informed about Casey's Civil Litigation. We need fair and balanced information. The major cable channels seem more interested in ratings than in truth. We can trust you to tell things the way they are.
Dave I realize Casey Anthony "will not be cured" no matter where she goes. I believe her "team" will have her admitted into some type of "sanitarium" for a few months and she will miraculously come out cured. There will be mental health experts who worked with her for those few months and they will proclaim she's now cured. She is now a functioning member of society and will miss that baby Darn it all. Cayle sure was a cutie. Baez, Simms, Mason and the rest will not allow Casey Anthony to pay for her sins but God will.
Hi Amber - I'm glad you liked the post about the three different murders. I really do think that Casey stands a very good chance of living in the minds of people for generations to come.
I guess I will go down to the courtroom to watch what happens. If it's worth anything, I'll write about it, but mostly because a lot of people want to see her punished in some manner. I heard Leonard Padilla is getting into the act, too, so that will make 3 lawsuits against her.
I'll try to be as fair as I've always been, but I must admit the murder verdict was something I couldn't remain neutral on.
Thank you for enjoying the other post and for your support.
Hi Terrytsk - I don't think Casey will ever be cured, but she's such a deceptive person, she'll probably be able to fool the doctors. In order for her to be forgiven, she will have to tell the truth. She will never do that, so her soul is lost.
Dave, great to have you back. You did an outstanding job for OM. I was just stunned at the verdict, no justice. The only comfort that I can take that Caylee is in the hands of God & her POS mother will eventually have to meet her maker. Looking forward to your next post.
Yes Dave, she will never be cured (you can't cure a sociopath) but her team of supporters will try to mislead the public into thinking she has been cured. That's the only way to rehabilitate her in the publics eyes. Baez said she won't have her first interview for 6 to 9 months. Her only chance is to say she had intensive treatment and is now ready to be a functioning member of society and wants to atone for her very dysfunctional behavior after her baby "accidently" died and her father covered it up. No culpability on her part. Then she rakes in the dough. She lives as a celebrity. 12 jurors believed the story who's to say mainstream America and the rest of the world won't as well?
Thanks, southernlace. I am adjusting nicely to my old surroundings. I did enjoy writing for the magazine, though. Yes, the verdict was a real shocker, but it looks like she'll get hit hard in the pocketbook if she makes any money off her daughter, and I'm all for that.
I'm not sure what all I'll be writing about, but I think I'm going to attend the civil hearing tomorrow unless personal issues come up. I do want to move away from Casey, but some things still interest many people. We'll see.
I hope the public won't ever be that easy to dupe, Terrytsk. That would be horrible. One of the dirty, rotten things her attorneys did was to remove all blame from her and pass it on to George. George found the body. George threw the body in her trunk and removed it later to have Roy Kronk toss it in the woods. Of importance to me, and we'll never know, is how George passed the body over to Kronk. I find it ridiculous that the jury probably bought into that one.
Because of the jury's wham bam thank you ma'am attitude, in and out, in a snap, just like that, I hope they don't get any offers to get rich quick. Heck, they didn't have time to learn anything.
I hope the public isn't that gullible.
Dave, I hope so too. However, I never imagined a jury of her peers would be so easily duped and they were. This situation has been so frustrating to watch over the last 3 years only to culiminate in a not guilty verdict with a mere week or so of extra jail time. Not even probation. As of July 17th she's a free woman. I hope that she is at least punished monetarily by all of the civil lawsuits that are pending. Who knows? Never say never.
Morning Dave, Yup, still morning out here. I am sick of the rehash of her case and trial. I am sick of her smiling face. However, I would like to know about the civil prosecution that is happening. I want to know who is filing suits against her. I enjoyed Tim Miller's anger at the family and his description of the family.
In the past it was all about the facts now I want to know the gossip, if that makes sense.
Glad you are back home....
Dave, could you re-post or provide a link to, your old post on the Death Scenario as you envisioned it way when? I can't recall the name of it now, but it might be interesting t0 revisit it in light of recent developments.
Casey Anthony: She ‘compartmentalized’ after Caylee died, Cheney Mason says
You see. It's starting and Casey Anthony doesn't have to say a thing. Compartmentalizing is not even a valid psychiatric disorder to my knowledge. I'm not a psychiatrist or Phd. Maybe I'm wrong.
Terrytsk - This trial surprised an awful lot of people. The jury members who have opened up said they followed the letter of the law. I'm going to ask an attorney friend to explain how that happened. I will then write about it because a lot of people are left hanging now. What exactly did the state NOT prove? Meantime, we should get some satisfaction that she'll be dogged by creditors for a long, long time. I hope.
Hi cali patti! It's not morning now where you are. I've had a few requests to republish an article I wrote over 2 years ago, and I might do that, but I'm not going to dwell on Casey. I'm not going to the hearing tomorrow morning because it was changed to 8 am. That's 5 am your time. I refuse to get up that early any longer. Casey's not worth it and she won't even be there. If I'm awake, I may watch it, but not because I care. The only thing I want to see are lawsuits, not motions. Speaking of which, we've got Zenaida, Tim Miller and Leonard Padilla lined up in that order.
Yup, Terrytsk, you're right. Thanks for that link.
Dave I so agree with you. All I want to see are the monies she has to pay. For every dollar that she pays out is a dollar she can't spend. I absolutley believe she will self-destruct. It might take a few years but it will happen. She simply is not smart enough to go to an island and stay there.
Dave, Uncle Sam wants $70,000+ from Ms Anthony. I don't think Casey ever paid the court costs that Judge Strickland ordered re the check/fraud.
The more she owes, the less she'll have, cali patti. Maybe her attorneys will think twice about contracts. They fought for her release pro bono. Let's see how much longer that will last if they keep seeing jingle go right out the door.
So I've heard, Snoopy, and I read the article about it on WKMG. When I went to the Osceola Clerk of Courts site and entered her name, nothing came up. Then, I tried Jose Baez and got the same results.
IRS: Casey Anthony Owes $68K In '08 Taxes
Since the story ran in May, I haven't seen anything else to back it up. Trust me, I want to see Casey pay and pay and pay. Are there any sites that prove the IRS filed a lien against her?
Oh, yes... She does owe the money Judge Strickland ordered her to pay, $348 in court fees and $5,517.75 in investigative fees.
Dave, just like old times, you make me prove everything I say. Are you trying to force me to be your sleuth again?
I take everything I read online with a grain of salt but here is some info re the tax lien. I thought Florida did not pay federal taxes. The revenue did come from out of state, I assume, so maybe that makes a difference.
The IRS filed the $68,520.41 federal tax lien in Osceola County, Florida, on May 17, a mere 7 days before the opening arguments in the murder trial.
Source..
IRS files tax lien against CaseyAnthony
That's the same basic info on the WKMG site, Snoopy, and I certainly want to believe it, but I looked on the Osceola Clerk of Courts Website and it's not there. This isn't a question of me pitting myself against you, this is all about verifying what those sites said. I want proof from the court and I can't find it.
Jeopardy!
Dave, it makes you feel powerful when you know dang well I am going to search and search and, well you get my drift.
How's this Mr Knechel...
I just noticed on the lien that it shows Casey Marie Anthony and her residence as 522 Simpson Road in Kissimmee (Baez Law Firm). So, I'm assuming the check(s) went straight to his office.
Casey Anthony-tax lien
Snoopy - I might call the clerk's office tomorrow. I want to get to the bottom of this 68K. It was in the news and, just like that, it wasn't. And there was no explanation.
Dave, check out my link. Do you want me to write it in blood? Someone paid $10 to get the copy I posted.
That's it, Snoopy! All the proof I need. Thank you.
Uhhhhhhhh, I know your best buds, but is this ...
Snoopy 1
Dave 1/2
... just wondering?
Being gracious with that 1/2. Sorry Dave! LOL
Love you two back home together! About time.
That's alright, cali patti. I got to go to the trial.
na-na-na-na-na-na
Dave, ah, jeeeeeze ... men on occasion are little boys.
all yours snoop.
Dave, I'll bet you did not get to watch the trial in your bra and panties but what do I know for sure.
Look at this. The world can be a scarey place...
Chouteau Clerk Mistaken For Casey Anthony Attacked With Minivan
snoopy, now that was a good one. wtg girl.
also read the link, sick people out there.
It makes you wonder how they convict anyone in Florida. Bras and panties comments aside. Please note, I don't get the comment to start with but I will assume there's a private joke behind it.
It's a done deal. Casey Anthony will not be held responsible for the death of her daughter unless some of the civil cases against her succeed and she is penalized financially. Fingers are crossed.
Terrytsk, no private joke but just a bit of humor. After three years of the Anthonys and pouring over every iota of evidence, it has been stressful. I think some of us felt we owed it to Caylee to try and put some of the pieces of the puzzle together. Sadly, I think the defense team was following some of the blogs closely. Hopefully that is not where Baez got some ideas for his opening statement. When Cheney Mason was screaming that Casey was not mirandized, a woman at my blog found the evidence that she was. The info was passed on and it made the news on WESH that very night.
Richard Hornsby said that Casey has the right to plead the fifth if John Morgan ever gets the opportunity to depose her.
Dave, feel free to swipe any comments of mine that you may deem inappropriate. No harm done.
Snoopy a little humor goes a long way. I just assumed an inside joke. You two have been friends for a long time. Picturing Mr. Marinade in lady's panties and a bra was a little too much for me to fathom. My comment was not meant to stir the pot. Peace. I enjoy the banter.
Anyways, what's up with Judge Rodriguez recusing himself without giving a reason? Now we hear Casey Anthony is appealing her convictions on lying to LE. She should ask for a jury trial and pray she gets the same box of rocks that served at the last trial. Lord have mercy, can you imagine if she wins?
I get it. We all do. Due to her lies she's wide open to all of the civil suits and it will cost her. I wish all of the good people who searched for Baby Caylee would file a class action suit as well.
terrytsk- Smartest idea yet, after Caylee's Law! Class action suit... where do I sign up for that one?
It looks like a new judge has been assigned for the civil suit and another hearing will take place today at 3:30PM EST. I haven't been able to find out who the new judge is yet. Wesh and Wftv are reporting this.
The ZG suit has been assigned to Circuit Judge Lisa Munyon.
There sure are a bunch of crazies out there, Snoopy. That woman doesn't even resemble Casey in my opinion. What was that woman thinking? Like Casey would have gotten out of jail the same day as her verdict and have a job waiting for her in Oklahoma.
Generally, class action suits are brought against giant corporations, not individuals. In the case of Casey, it would be impossible to do. You'd have to prove that she did something that harmed you, individually, along with countless others. Tobacco and pharmaceutical companies are often the target of class action suits. A single person cannot be sued like that.
I am stunned that this jury discarded all the lesser charged options and basically have set this psychopath free. I am disgusted that Baez had the arrogance to publicly state that this was justice for Caylee. Did the jury have no understanding of the definition of reasonable doubt? Did they think any doubt was equivalent?
As everyone knows, trials are won or lost in jury selection. While I do think that Judge Perry is a stellar jurist, I believe that he rushed the jury selection process in a significant way. Because he is also the chief administrative judge his role and responsibilities encompass the financial constraints and considerations involved in the costs incurred with 2 weeks in Pinellas County. He also had to contend with the small window of time that he was allotted for use of their court room. Just as a comparable reference the Scott Peterson case took 11 weeks to seat the jury.
I do wonder why 4 members of Casey’s jury have criminal records. Why would they have been selected by the Prosecution? I do remember that they were running out of jury pool candidates and also the time deadline was fast looming. I do not place any blame on the Prosecution because I think that they’re hands were tied. I do think that it was very unwise for Judge Perry to have such an arbitrary deadline fixed for this most all important process. I also think that regardless of budgetary constraints the Prosecution needed to use a jury consultant just as the defense did, to their overwhelming benefit.
Juror #3 said: "You can't punish someone for something if you don't know what they did."
Juror #3, it was NOT YOUR JOB to PUNISH Casey Anthony. It WAS your JOB to LISTEN TO THE EVIDENCE and USE COMMON SENSE. You were not handing down PUNISHMENT in this phase. Did you skim over the words "Caylee is Dead" on the Juror Instruction sheet?
Juror #3, Ms. Ford spoke on Nightline a few nights ago. Ms. Ford felt that one could not convict if you didn't know how someone died or the motive.
I totally disagree. You don't need to know a motive. You don't need to know how someone died. It's my opinion that often times people don't realize that behavior is evidence, powerful evidence.
She stated that the prosecution did not provide the jury with those facts. She also stated that she did not believe the defense case. On the Nightline show, she completely sidestepped the evidence of the duct tape on Caylee's skull. She never addressed it.
I can’t believe what some of these jurors believed! Juror #2 stated that “it didn’t matter at what point in time she came home and found out her daughter missing”. I can’t believe it. They also said they weren’t sure who the caretaker was. How in the world did this happen? Were they sleeping when the PT told in detail the calls from Cindy to Casey over the 31 days asking where they were? She kept making excuses as to where Caylee was. We all know this, CLEARLY Casey was the “caregiver” (term used loosely).
This is unreal…..they thought Casey came home and found out Caylee was missing??????????? This tells me they could not have been paying attention at all.
Done is done but Judge Perry made a huge mistake not telling the jurors they had to disregard the opening statement from Baez as he proved none of it. This jury believed it with not one iota of proof but disregarded the evidence the PT had.
How did 12 people agree Casey “came home and found out Caylee was missing”? It’s like one of them made it up and they all went along with it….they gave no thought whatsoever to the 31 days. What a huge huge mistake these people made by not taking the time to ask questions and look at evidence, and most of all, use common sense.
I think this jury was totally taken in by the CSI effect. They were unable to make any type of conclusion about Casey’s post-incident behavior and wanted all the evidence tied up for them in a neat package. They wanted to know when she died, where she died and how she died before they were willing to convict on any charge. It shows us a jury that is unable to analyze evidentiary behavior critically, and come to a conclusion about it. This jury also rejected the prosecution's motive that was presented to them. I believe they rejected it because they didn't understand it.
Even though Casey Anthony lied to every person in her immediate orbit, law enforcement officers, the general public and beyond about having a job, what she was doing and when, having a "Zanny the nanny" and a kidnapping, that behavior by Casey was rejected by the jury as having any weight as evidence that a crime had been committed. They basically said, Casey Anthony's post incident behavior means nothing without a motive or cause of death.
Even though the prosecution presented strong evidence that there was a dead body and high traces of chloroform in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car, they still could not come to the conclusion that a dead body had been placed inside it. Even though the prosecution presented powerful evidence that three pieces of duct tape were attached to the child's skull, mandible and hair, the jury did not see that as evidence that a crime had taken place. Many of us are wondering what person in their right mind could think that how and where little Caylee ended up, in plastic bags, in a swamp, with duct tape wrapped around her head was the result of an "accident?" To me, this tells me that this juror, and most likely the rest of the jurors were unable to connect the dots and put the pieces of evidence together.
When you have jurors that are unable to make reasonable conclusions about post-incident behavior and powerful scientific evidence this is the type of verdict you get.
I am disappointed by a jury foreman, juror #6 negotiating media deals for 5 figures. I am disgusted that juror #3 has been awarded a trip to Disney World, courtesy of ABC/Disney for an interview. I find it disgusting that these people would decline a press conference, but are negotiating with the highest bidders for media time.
The jurors, IMO are accountable to society for their actions. As they step forward to give their reasons for their utterly incredible verdict and reap financial benefits for speaking, they become fair game for investigation. They let a murderer, a psychopath free onto society!
I also do not believe that this jury understood the validity of circumstantial evidence and pooh-poohed it. What the defense would have us believe is if there is no eyewitness to a murder and there isn't any DNA because the body isn't found until its skeletonized, then nobody should ever be charged with the crime regardless of what the circumstantial evidence shows.
Apparently, the jurors did not understand the meaning and/or the significance of circumstantial evidence. Most criminal cases are based on circumstantial evidence. Because most criminals do not commit their crimes in front of witnesses. A witness provides direct evidence. All other evidence is circumstantial. When properly investigated, the circumstantial evidence put together by law enforcement and prosecutors can be just as persuasive (sometimes more so since witnesses can lie or be mistaken) as direct evidence. If circumstantial evidence was not considered strong evidence (when obtained through proper and thorough investigation) then no criminal would ever be successfully prosecuted. I assumed that the case would be decided on the preponderance of the evidence against which the defense of reasonable doubt is offered. From the jurors that have spoken so far, I am convinced that this did not happen.
To me it seems that the jurors were summarily picking and choosing what they wanted to believe, and disregarded the tons of hard evidence presented to them. They capriciously exercised their personal prejudices, and by ignoring the jury instructions they have violated/subverted the justice system, IMO. We will never know how Caylee died, but defendants have been convicted time and time again with far less evidence.
This jury had to sort through a mass of lies rather than weighing the truth. Baez only performed well if you believe that the rights of one citizen (Casey Anthony) take precedence over the rights of many others (her dad, Dr G, Roy Kronk, Zenaida Gonzalez, Vasco Thompson, multiple police and FBI personnel--all smeared and lied about-- and, of course, Caylee). That was never the intent of the justice system and raising reasonable doubt is not justification for it. That we have allowed this to become acceptable is our bad. To characterize this vile type of practice as 'doing a good job' is simply not accurate, IMO. The perversion of our justice system is more complete with this verdict, because it is so high profile.
I am a firm believer in the right to representation and that a strong challenge to the State is the only way we keep from becoming a police state. And I think Casey has an absolute right to a strong defense. I don't, however, think her rights as a citizen are any more sacred than anyone else's and to ruin reputations, smear character and generally trash other citizen's rights--even some who had nothing, nothing to do with this trial--in service of her 'rights' is just plain wrong. The fact that her counsel could do this with impunity because they can't be held accountable for what is said in court is a big gaping hole in the system. I've heard several talking heads suggest that people are just projecting their dislike for Casey onto Jose Baez. This is BS. Jose Baez needs to own his behavior. Casey didn't make him perform like a cocky little rookie, lie to the court, suborn perjury, publicly vilify George, Dr G, Zenaida Gonzalez, Roy Kronk, the OCSO (Orange County Sheriff’s Office) or Vasco Thompson. He did that on his own. Baez is devoid of any ethical compass and that's why I don't like him.
I do want to address some clear disinformation that was presented in Baez’s and Mason’s arguments. If we define misinformation as an unintentional conveyance of an error in fact, and disinformation as an intentional misrepresentation of fact, we have to outright call these blatant errors disinformation. We either have to do that or claim that in the almost 3 years of this case, and over 2-1/2 years since Caylee’s remains were found, the number of defense lawyers who either currently are or formerly have represented Casey never bothered to look at the evidence disclosed over the past 3 years, or to even reread the transcripts of testimony that have been produced in this trial.
George never outright denied the Henkel brand duct tape was his. In fact, he has never denied it was his in almost 3 years of interviews, depositions and trial testimony. He has stated, and been consistent in this response, that he didn’t pay attention to what type of duct tape he had, so he couldn’t say. Jose Baez outright stated that George DENIED the tape was his. FALSE
When removing the people who state they DID smell decomposition in the car, Baez’s clear intention was to remove everyone who either wouldn’t have lied because of possible involvement in Caylee’s death or cover-up of same and reduce it to one person, George. When he got to Cindy’s picture he stated that she had made the statement in the 911 call (that the car smelled like a dead body had been it) because she had made 2 prior calls and hadn’t got law enforcement at her house yet. Of all the witnesses who have been impeached to some extent or another, Cindy is the ONLY witness to have been proven, before the jury, to have committed perjury. For Baez to remove her as not possibly having knowledge or being complicit in the alleged cover-up of an accidental death by using her own words to excuse her statement in the 911 call is an obvious “stacking of the deck” and cherry-picking in order to get to his goal of leaving George standing alone as the sole “suspect”. As Baez stated about the State, you can’t not only impeach Cindy, but prove she committed perjury and then use SOME of her statements as truthful. The statement made by Cindy in that 911 call will forever remain an excited utterance immediately after she had been told Casey’s story that Caylee had been kidnapped.
After 2-1/2 years of the evidence found at the remains site being available to the defense, I find it impossible to believe the defense does not know that there were 3pieces of duct tape on Caylee’s skull with a 4th piece a few feet away. It was not 2 pieces of duct tape on Caylee’s skull with a 3rd piece a few feet away. This is the third time that Cheney Mason has stated this blatant misrepresentation of evidence in the case, and this time to the jury. He did it again on Greta’s FOX show.
Dr. Werner Spitz did not say that suffocation will, by golly without a doubt, cause the tell-tale staining behind the ears on the inside of the cranial cavity. He stated it can. So the lack of staining does not mean that suffocation could not have taken place, as stated by Baez in his closing arguments.
And there are several more, but those are the more egregious lies presented to the jury during the defense’s closing argument.
Nancy B~~in one word, Bravo!!
Nancy B., very well said !
Just in re civil suit, Zenaida vs Casey
Casey Anthony will not be deposed Tuesday. Judge Munyon has set a date of Oct 8th for depo.
Hearing was held in small room, no video. I picked up my info from Tweets.
