Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Baez Blasts Team Padilla
Orlando, Fl– Late last week the latest motions in the defense of Tot mom Casey Anthony for allegedly murdering her 34 month old daughter Caylee were filed. Talk about your average ingrate. The very team Jose Baez called on for help to bail out his client is the latest target in Baez defense teams attempt to restart the bilge pump in Casey’s sinking ship.
Baez latest attempt to un-ring the Padilla bell may as well have arrived at the clerks office on a cocktail napkin; it will be taken exactly that seriously.
There is no expectation of privilege where there is no attorney/client relationship in Florida. The question is, did Jose Baez sufficiently disclose that information to his client, Casey Anthony? Is this motion really designed to stave off the current Florida Bar complaints under investigative review?
Sources inside the investigation have confirmed to blinkoncrime.com that Baez is attempting to head the testimony of Padilla et al “off at the pass” for multiple reasons. It is expected that the backyard babblings of Casey Anthony to Tracy Mclaughlin will corroborate some of the evidence at the scene where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found. That’s not all. Baez is indirectly looking to block Leonard, Tracy, Rob and Tony from the civil case against his Client filed by Zenaida Gonzalez by blocking them from allowing their testimony as witnesses for the state in the criminal trial.
So What Would They Say?
Leonard Padilla, and occasionally Rob Dick have appeared on camera and spoken publicly about this case for the better part of a year.
Tony Padilla agreed to appear once on Nancy Grace to clear up some inconsistencies about the Surety process at the request of his surety firm early on, but prefers not to speak about the case publicly. Tracy has never given an interview publicly, but all of them have given statements to the FBI. What possible grounds will he claim to assert privilege when they did not work for Baez, nor did Baez ever pay any of them for anything?
None, because there aren’t any.
As far as revelations in their testimony, don’t expect any bombshells that have not been floating about already with the possibility of an exception or 50. They are:
Casey openly admitted to Rob Dick that she was forced to be following a script. He is also expected to provide some insight as to what Casey was doing in Baez’s office for 7 hours a day under the auspice of preparing for her defense.
The defense team revealed openly they would be pointing the finger at Jesse Grund. They are in possession of a first birthday card Jesse wrote to Caylee that they plan to use as the foundation of such an allegation.
Casey made Tony Padilla dinner the evening he got there to post her bond in George and Cindy’s presence in the Anthony home. He found her demeanor to be completely inconsistent with that of a mother whose child was missing, and she never once mentioned Caylee. Outside of Casey’s presence Tony asked Cindy who Caylees’ father was. Cindy presented him an article from the May 7, 2007 fatal crash that claimed the life of Jesus Ortiz. Tony initiated meeting Casey because one of his concerns when posting bond for her, was that she might commit suicide. Following that meeting, he felt confident there was a zero percent chance that was a possibility.
Remember this line, you will hear it again, “When are you going to stop acting like a cop and start acting like a Dad!!!”.
George Anthony purchased the handgun minutes following the rumor that Casey was about to be arrested on the economic charges and her bond would be revoked. Baez told the Anthonys’ that he alerted the OCSO that if that were the case, he would agree to turn her in, and they were under the impression they would agree to that arrangement.
What Baez did not know, is that OCSO was aware of the building potential for violence between George and Casey in the Anthony home and there was a genuine concern for Tracy’s safety on behalf of Team Padilla in the Anthony home. George Anthonys’ friend from Trumball County Ohio, we will call him Trumball Jim, told George everything he needed to know about Caylee’s whereabouts was in her room down the hall, (indicating Casey in her bedroom). George had it out with Casey demanding she tell him what she knew, and Jim had to pull George and Casey apart. Tim Miller, founder of Texas Equusearch, arrived shortly thereafter and was met at the door by Jim, with that episode being recounted to him as the first interface he had with anyone in the Anthony camp in that home.
This prompted Leonard’s comments on Nancy Grace that they could revoke her bond for any reason at any time and they were considering it. The photo on the front page of this article comes from the press conference following the meeting between Leonard and Baez that ensued after Baez had previously refused to discuss the issue with Leonard until he threatened to pull out.
Casey Anthony was scheduled to be interviewed by ABC at the Anthony home the day after she was rearrested and her bond was revoked. This was the reason that the Padillas received countless calls from Cindy and Lee begging Tony Padilla not to revoke her bond. Had they not, she could have been released within the hour as Baez stated at the time.
Lastly, the agreement Baez presented in his motion is not the only agreement between the parties in this motion. There is at least one more variation in which Tony Padilla requested language changes specifically that he did not include in the motion.

Tiffany heart ring
My thoughts on Cindy’s questions about the Tiffany hear ring . . .
By July 25, no one had been able to find a trace of Casey’s mysterious outcry witness and one-time beau Jeffrey “Michael” Hopkins with the son named Zachary. Cindy’s co-workers said Casey had claimed to be dating this Jeff Hopkins and that three or four times, Cindy had prepared to have Jeff over for dinner or dessert but he always cancelled. When I watched Cindy, I got the feeling that she knew perfectly well that Casey had claimed Jeff gave her the Tiffany heart ring and she just wanted Casey to confirm what she believed. Perhaps Cindy was hoping that if the ring was an authentic Tiffany & Co. heart ring (and not a knock-off) and if Casey still had it somewhere, Cindy could possibly find records at the only Tiffany store in Orlando for the purchase of that ring by Jeffrey “Michael” Hopkins. Casey was claiming to date Jeff Hopkins in summer 2007, so if Cindy could find the ring, then Cindy would have a shot at finding Jeff Hopkins (in her mind).
Re: Hairdresser
In Casey’s June 22 bond hearing, Detective Yuri Melich said OCSO had received a tip that a hairdresser claimed to have seen Caylee with bruises on her arms and a mark under her eye. Melich never said whether the hairdresser had called in the tip or if someone the hairdresser confided in turned in the tip. Melich did not identify the hairdresser in any way, so we don’t know if it was someone who ever cut Casey’s hair or Caylee’s hair.
198 Car parked at Amscot
Tony’s testimony does not contradict Gary Ridgeway’s about the way the car was parked.
Gary Ridgeway said the car was “nosed in.” That’s all he said about the way it was parked.
Tony said the car was nose-in and “it was good,” but the car was “double-parked” because it was pulled over the dividing line so that it was taking up more than one space. There are only two parking spaces near the dumpsters. She parked her car so that it was not perfectly centered over the two spaces but was far enough over the dividing line that no one else could park next to her.
Neither of them said the car was parked diagonally in the space.
205 Laptop taken from Anthony house
I think Casey took it on June 17 when she went back to the house in the afternoon.
On that afternoon, Casey steadily used the phone 17 times between 2:18pm and 4:05pm. All the pings hit one of the three Anthony home towers
Encase computer usage in the discovery shows that the Compaq laptop was used for the first time in 39 hours in the 2:00pm-3:00pm block when Casey was at the house. At 3:29pm, the video clip of Caylee at the nursing home was created on the Compaq laptop (Casey would have downloaded it from the digital camera).
The nursing home clip was modified at 10:00pm later that night (when Casey was definitely back at Tony’s) and was last accessed on Wednesday June 18 at 10:14am, so that is the date that Tony noticed Casey crying over the nursing home clip when he woke up in the morning (he didn’t have class on Wednesday).
I am guessing that Casey did not take the laptop with her when she left on June 16, but picked it up during this visit to the Anthony home on June 17 since from the evening of June 17 on, her Internet access (like Photobucket downloads) links her to the Sutton Place apartment’s IP address (it’s Bright House Network, so I am certain it’s a dynamic IP covering all devices accessing the assigned residential broadband network, not a static IP assigned an individual computer).
215 Casey-Tony IM
There is only one in the discovery. It was released in the November 26. That discovery was released in 15 parts. The IM is at the end of part 7 and the beginning of part 8. I save the discovery to my computer when it’s released so that I don’t have to go hunting for it, and therefore, I no longer have the link to the website where I copied it. But Docstoc has all the November 26 discovery.
233
The Pontiac was towed on June 30. Casey stole Amy’s $400 on the night of July 2 and got Amy’s checkbook on the morning of July 8. I don’t think Casey had cash for gas until she picked up some tips at Fusian on the night of Friday, June 27. She and Amy purchased a two-gallon gas can at Target on Monday, June 30 at 1:22pm, but unknown to Casey, the car had been towed from Amscot four hours earlier.
Once the car was towed, Casey couldn’t touch it. Only the registered owners (George and Cindy) could get it out of impound.
an ABSOLUTE AMEN!!! TO POST 229 Todd no better way to look at it…not to the fact of what they are doing to the memory of that sweet baby girl!
228 Todd
Just read about Cindy’s depo today.I really hope this is the beginning of the end for this case.Maybe C&G finally realize their daughter is going down and they are going with her if they don’t tell the truth.But then again wishfull thinking on my part??
I was glad to see only Caylee buttons today.Maybe they know all the evidence is overwhelming and have finally accepted it.I pray this is the case and not another scam.I have a beautiful granddaughter who turned 2 in May.This story has touched me like no other…….Please G&C stand up for Caylee.
In a deposition, the swearing in comes first as it does with a witness taking the stand at a trial. That didn’t happen in either of Cindy’s OCSO interviews or her FBI interview because none of those interviews were depositions. They were interviews with LE. It goes without saying that if she was honestly trying to get to the bottom of her granddaughter’s disappearance, she wouldn’t be lying to LE, but she was not sworn in at the beginning of any of those interviews, and was only asked to swear to the truth of her information at the end of the very last one.
In Cindy’s July 30 interview with the FBI, the agent asked Cindy if she would be willing to take a polygraph about everything she had just told him. She said yes she would. She did not swear in at the beginning and at no time was asked to swear that the information she had provided was true. She was not under oath during that interview. And she didn’t know it was being recorded.
On Friday, August 1, Cindy gave the first part of her “timeline” interview with OCSO. She was not sworn in at any time.
On Monday, August 4, Cindy gave the remainder of her “timeline” interview, and at the very end, Yuri Melich asked her to raise her hand and swear that the information she had provided was true and correct. Cindy said the information she didn’t know she was swearing to anything and had provided the information she remembered to the best of her ability. She said she didn’t have to swear to anything on Friday (part 1) and didn’t know she was giving a “deposition or whatever.” Melich said she had given a statement.
Maura, as usual your dead on with your facts. However, while neither Cindy nor George were sworn in at their FBI interviews, it is not necessary when speaking to a Federal Agent; lying to one is a Federal Offense. Recall that even though in reality OCSO brought the FBI into the case, George and Cindy were under the impression THEY requested that meeting. While I agree with you they did not know they were being taped, we should also assume there may be edits, and that Scott Bolin was well prepped in advance. I believe the differences in accounts, and of course the famous next day drive out to Hopespring to collect the gas cans nobody knew George had, supports that. It is my opinion that is why George sought representation from Mark Nejame right after that. It is also where I think Cindy told the most truth- that Casey was never “staying” at the house after the 14th. On a side note- I was very, very impressed with Scott’s handling of those interviews. He never called Cindy out on her discrepencies, and did not tip her off about how much he knew about the case.
B
#250 blink. Thank you. I always thought it was cindy and lee and that george went “on a bender”
#248 kleat. KOOL! To silver, haPpy bday, is your hubby regretting bringing the laptop yet?
Maura,
You astound me with your ability to organize all the material for each player, minute by minute, word by word. It’s absolutely amazing. As much time as I’ve spent reading and thinking about this case, I could’ve been putting the pieces together, too — not as well as you, but I’d sure be way ahead of where I am right now, lol.
If you’re ever willing, I’d pay cash money to read what you think happened, and when.
Hats off to you.
Blink I guess george has no knowledge on how to clean up a crime scene then. I am completely confused by this man. Did he think casey killed someone else?
Say it aint so, did he really believe what cindy was telling him?
Remember Nancy, there are broad exclusions to the Sunshine Law as it relates to discovery in a criminal trial. Tim would not be a witness as it would be excluded on the basis of hearsay. Personally, I think there are other witnesses in that house that may have heard/witnessed the exchange as well.
B
Hmm Blink, do you really think that the ones that were in the house are going to testify? or have testified to this incident?.
If Jim is Georges friend, I wonder if he has given statements to this incident and truthfully as if not, it can all be considered hearsay?
Maura!
VERY INTERESTING, Blink did your read her last post?
If that 39 hours can be a time line, wow what a great thing.
That would probably tell us almost exactly when the angel died.
I would have never thought of this as I have been studying the statements etc and not the cell pings etc as much.
My brain learns better with pictures, not technical things but thanks for posting that. Have you counted back the hours to see if this 39 hours matches the frantic calling spree that Casey did on the 16th?
OH k one more thought?
I am really wondering if Cindy and Casey are going to say that ALL of the computers were taken illegally… For Goodness sake can all of the information be kicked out? This is a really awful thought…
How do we know George cleaned care opposed to Cindy doing it?\
I also want to know if Jim gave a statement and how many neighbors gave statements that we have not seen yet?
This will never end as far as statements and evidence will it?
Blink do you think there is more? hehe
Yep

“I’ve yet to actually have to go to jury duty. I get called every year but I never have to go.”
Casey Anthony, June 13, 2008
Other interesting tidbits in the IM conversation with Iassen Donovan, including Rico’s last name used in a name-game type rhyme with ‘Gonzalez’. And a little info from I.D. about Brandon Snow informing Casey that Brandon and Lejla are ‘f***’n engaged’. Casey responds with ‘What?!!??!!?” (look at the ‘emotion’ in text– all those exclamation marks about this bit of info, by someone who emoted so little about her missing child). Casey maybe needed to be the ‘dumper’ but upset if she became the ‘dumpee’, afterall she said in the same conversation, that ‘it’s a powerful thing to hold someone else’s heart in your hand.’
Why are the Anthonys being deposed? Will this be televised today?
Thanks Blink for the LIMO info…lol, just had to ask that one. Glad to see she is being shown you have to do this and she can’t call the shots as she would like.
George is due in this AM for his and Lee later according to 13 news this am. Hope CA didn’t coach him last night and he sticks with the truth.
BTW Silver.. Happy Birthday… think I closed out my browser without hitting send yesterday. And thank you for your legal eagle pov here, sure helps to see what other “professionals” think in this case.
Looks like the rest of the Anthony family is being questioned now…….http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2009/7/29/george_anthony_to_be_deposed_today.html
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28159418/page/4/
Leonard Padilla: “Yeah. She says, “Get outta my house. You’re not gonna talk to me like a cop. Get outta here.”
Setting the record staright, Casey did not say that to George she said it to Leonard Padilla, I keep hearing people mention this phrase have ran into postings analyzing the phrase “You’re not gonna talk to me like a cop” Casey said that to LP not George.
We are talking about 2 different statements made to 2 different people. The comment in MY article, was said to her Father, no mistake.
B
cindeefromwisconsin, there seems to be confusion about depositions in this case of murder against Casey. No depositions are being made public in this case at all so far, so no, there is no automatic release to the public. Many people have been deposed so far in the murder case both for the defense side and for the state and none are released to date. (the defense has even had two kicks at the can, doing a deposition a second time when the DP qualified lawyer came into the picture)
The depositions that were quickly released in the civil defamation case, were done so because Zenaida Gonzalez was defamed ‘in the public’ and so her lawyers argue that clearing her name publicly is absolutely essential. They wanted to release these because that’s how they can help their client, by letting the public know that their client is not the person who Casey claims took her child.
Apples and oranges.
“According to WFTV, the depositions are not public record unless one of the parties involved asks for a transcript.”
I guess we’re never going to see this depo, I assume that’s part of the reason that Baez went, so that he doesn’t have to request a transcript and have this info made public.
They (the state) are able to toss in the civil depo transcripts, and question her on inconsistent statements, right? Or do they have limited latitude here, only questioning her on official police statements, anyone?
I wonder if she went ballistic at any point. Hmmm. What story to stick to, she must have been contemplating.
Yes, they do. However, if I were Conway I would object as their is a pending motion to compel further testimony in the civil case and therefore not a complete record in which to impeach against. Not sure he would get away with that though if it was questions asked and answered on the record already.
B
It’s about time the Anthonys were deposed by the state. I hope what they have to say convicts that (bleep) of a daughter they spawned.
The Baez/Casey Anthony defense machinations are beyond endurance. The death of Caylee has caused so much suffering to this family, as well as, all who have followed this terrible murder.
Casey should have confessed long ago and taken her punishment.
That poor, beautiful dead child, who has been gone for over a year now. Caylee Marie Anthony deserves justice! She’s crying out for it!
Enough of this bizarre kabuki theater. Get on with the hanging!
Blink,
Statements are statements on record. If they are considered incomplete, couldn’t the state argue that they will allow her, at present, to expound upon them?
They could also question her on all those wacky TV interviews. Although, a part of me believes that they hauled her in to get her on record about whatever documents they compelled her to deliver. I know that you thought they were about finances, but for some reason, I think OS thought that they contained info on the PIs. That would be juicier info.
They can, but Brad will do all he can for her not to answer the questions she objected to in the civil suit. That said, Im not suggesting they will be successful. The info on the PI’s is correct. I heard they turned over the finance stuff hoping to stave the hearing, but were told present the docs or they were off to court. Not the best way to start the criminal case. By the way, it had better match what the PI’s present.
B
And why the Anthony’s are being deposed? Depositions are a part of getting ready for trial.
Blink, Conway could do that, but then Mn’M could come back and say ‘through no fault of our client’ but the opposite is true, and they could tell the judge, the depositions were not complete because of your clients delays from early this spring trying to get a date for depositions to take place, and finally when they did (media sweeps and media-phobic Anthony’s issues aside), all questions were not answered, then a date to compel failed because of Conways sore back, all out of the hands of ZG’s lawyers and to their obvious dismay about the situation trying to get answers. Further delays caused by the lack of time in the judge’s schedule to fit them in to a cancellation all because of Conway’s clients tactics. And if push comes to shove, they could sign off on the depositions, couldn’t they?
Yes, all possible.
B
ItsMeLyn, I reckon George spent all last night listening to Cindy’s tape so he could get his story straight for his time in court today.
sorry for jumping the gun Blink, was just reading the Dateline story and that phrase jumped right out at me and I remebered reading earlier today folks mentioning this over and over…this case is making me crazy! I am going to quit while I am head, I was really thinking I was adding some good stuff here…from now on I am mute…. mmmmm…mmmmm…mmmm…mmmm.mmm
thats me speaking with my lips shut
I am leaving this to the professionals…
Wasn’t she objecting to answering questions in the civil depo arguing that the questions were irrelevant to the civil case, and that answers to those questions would only be forthcoming in the criminal trial? Maybe that was George. I’m going to have to research depos for criminal trials.
Nothing is ever going to completely match up. When you tell the truth, the story doesn’t vary all that much. When you lie, you have to try to recall the lie, much more difficult.
In your opinion, not so much counting on Cindy to drop the facade, but will George finally come around and bring forth the truth of what he knows? It seems so far the only one talking,(and being allergic to truth) is Cindy.
I would say that would depend about what Cindy may have said/done that he has yet to find out about, imo.
B
One more thought, sorry Blink.
If the civil case proceeds, she has to be very careful not to make statements that differ from what she said to the state. She is always mindful of spinning some positive flak-ery on Casey when she knows that it will be made public. But the state can then use those civil transcripts later…yes?
Interesting that the state wanted a transcript of the meeting about how Casey’s defense was being paid for. Something must have been discovered that doesn’t gibe with the answers given in chambers that day. I wonder if the financial stuff you spoke of has anything to do with that vs. the check thefts, etc.
The transcript was of the sidebar only, fyi. Where Baez had his azz handed to him.
B
suz, the only tape George could use for preparation, is the depo from the other case done in April, it’s not a rote learning situation. Who knows what questions were asked and answered yesterday, note that Cindy took in her recorder and a plastic bag full of stuff, and a bulging black purse. Today, no recorder, no plastic bag of stuff, and her black bag wasn’t as full– tripods and video cameras take up room. No recordings of these depos to review and practice and improve on, for testimony at trial.
“The transcript was of the sidebar only, fyi. Where Baez had his azz handed to him.”
Shucks.
Is there a released copy? I forget what that was about specifically.
Sorry, I know that they don’t release sidebars. Duh.
Todd, I am probably alone in not hating the Anthonys for selling their stories or whatever they can, even though it seems distasteful. Lawyers are expensive, and Casey was always expensive, so they don’t really have any savings to live off of, and neither of them are working right now (though Lee is managing to carry on with his normal life it seems). Ok, I’ll grant you that their own actions have not necessarily helped, and if they are suffering or taking heat for that, so be it. I guess I am probably also alone in thinking that ——for good or ill—-my instinct would probably be to cover for a loved one just like they seem to be doing, especially with the death penalty as a looming possibility. I don’t think it means they didn’t love Caylee, it just means that they also love Casey, and that love and family and loyalty and right and wrong are all really complicated things. It’s of course impossible to know if that’s what I would really do without actually being in the situation (heaven forbid!), but I guess I am saying that I at least get where they are coming from. The whole thing is just really sad all the way around.
Blink, do you think Conway at least coached them to keep the snarkiness to a minimum during these depos?
I think he did more than that after Morgan’s “AS YOU LIKE IT”.. ( I heart Morgan). I was told unofficially that Conway’s call in was because the Anthony’s refused to attend the hearing that day. I believe he told them if they pulled that stunt again he was out.
dee, it’s good to question what we hear! Also important, is who we hear things from– main stream media may not be doing original research and talking to actual people, witnesses first hand. That gives Blink a huge advantage over msm (msn included!).
Nothing wrong with questioning media and what we read, given the reputation of the mass media machine and the internet. It’s often hard to forget that Blink wears holes in her shoes to get the info first-hand and not just off some ‘wire’ to get the story out fast. Blink doesn’t do ‘fast first’.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of Casey testifying? If she truly is innocent, or Baez wants everyone to believe she is, it would seem that he would be chomping at the bit to get his client up there on the stand to convince everyone on that jury she had nothing to do with it. Although, I would suppose on cross examination they will have Casey for breakfast inside of 5 minutes. What should Baez do?
Todd in Tulsa, re: your ‘pizza’ observation, here’s something about Cindy’s personality from a criminal profiler that
Criminal profiler, Pat Brown interviewed about Cindy back on July 25th, 2008. (not sure what she means by Munchausen except to imply Cindy’s ‘poor me, look at me’ attitude)

on the changing stories issues.
this is my favorite site EVER!!!! thanks everyone for all the wonderful postings!
Blink –
Any updates on the FL Bar complaints on Baez? What’s taking so long? Do inquiries normally take this long?
It has been upgraded to an investigation, and yes, can take up to 2 years.
B
Holy smokes TWO YEARS!!! Wow, way to drag their feet. OK, so what if they do find him at fault/guilty or whatever they would call it. And say Casey’s already had her trial and been sentenced….how would that affect her case? Would that give her grounds for some type of appeal? Surely, if it would then I would hope the Bar would expedite the investigation so that some resolution could be had before her trial starts. Thoughts? BTW, thank you, thank you, thank you for the new post on this case….my Blackberry loves you!
I can read and get caught up so much faster now….all of this of course while I should be working. 
lol, it is my opinion it will be resolved by then.
B
“Munchausen sydrome” is a disorder where people make up illness or problems….
but it is also used to describe a congenital liar – which is how I think it used here.
( remember ” The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”? )
260 Blink
LE knew Casey had taken the gas cans well before the FBI interviews.
George told OCSO during his July 24 interview that he had confronted Casey about taking the gas cans when they were discussing the timeline relative to June 24 in relation to the pool ladder incident.
Lee also told LE the story about the gas can incident during his July 29 OCSO interview. He went through the whole thing about George trying to get the cans out of Casey’s trunk and how Casey blew past him, grabbed the cans, and threw them at George saying, “Here’s your f***ing gas cans.”
Cindy was interviewed by the FBI on July 30. She did not mention the gas can incident (or if she did, I missed it).
George was interviewed by the FBI on July 31. According to my notes, it was Scott Bolin who brought up the subject of the gas cans and said he wanted to discuss what happened.
So by the time OCSO went to the Anthony house on August 1 to get the gas cans, they had known for at least a week that George had retrieved them from Casey on June 24. I have no idea why they waited a week to get them, but there is no doubt LE had known for seven days prior to George’s FBI interview that George had those gas cans.
It wasn’t until September 3 that Mark NeJame told media he was considering taking on George and Cindy as clients, and it’s my opinion that the reason he was sought out is that the Anthonys needed someone with experience in dealing with criminal cases that had turned into public relations nightmares. Ever since Casey had been bonded out on August 21, the protesters had been a constant problem, and George and Cindy were not able to cope with the situation.
Maura- your right, but to be honest I cant remember where I was going with that (sorry happens to even me, lol)
We will agree to disagree on the retention of Mark Nejame. George went to Mark on his own without Cindy’s knowledge and there is a written retainer agreement between he and George, and only a verbal with Cindy. For the record, Mark does not believe for a second that George and Cindy knew where Caylee’s remains where prior to their recovery. On that he and I disagree. He met with George on 8/1 privately, both 8/2 and was retained 8/3 publicly. It is my opinion that when George was basically trying to get Casey to meet with him privately, and to speak to the FBI, he got the knowledge right quick that might not be in Cindy and Lee’s best interests, the word “obstruction” started rearing its head.
B
Is there another place to get the info on the TL and CA text messages and IMs?? I get blocked from the doc site some have posted.
Will the defense’s motion to delay the fraud trial be denied? It seems to me that Lyon’s pathetic excuse of needing to prepare for the murder trial cancels out her other excuse of teaching a class, thus the need for delay in the murder trial. If the murder trial is so important, i would think that teaching a class would take a back seat. Your thoughts?
If Amy’s lawyer provides the affidavit that she is insisting on her right to a swift prosecution, I believe it will go to trial and the motion to delay will be denied.
B
The Florida Bar, I assume, is more interested in an ‘educational approach’ to problems with lawyers, unless there is something that brings a lawyer to their knees with membership withdrawal application in hand. I suppose he’s babysitting the depos again today. And he said he had many more cases than for just the one Casey Anthony case!! (that public statement of some months past, might come back to bite him in the defense’s latest claims that they have too much to do to defend their client Casey, against any other little things like cheque fraud!)
266 NancyS
Nancy, the Encase information released in discovery only covered the period of activity from midnight of June 16 to midnight of June 18, which is why I could only say there had been no activity on the laptop for at least 39 hours (midnight June 16 through Casey’s visit to the Anthony house at 2:30pm June 18).
The Encase data also covered HP desktop usage, and it seems fairly solid that when Casey was living at home, she used the HP, not the laptop. For example, the laptop was not being at all during the 24 hours of June 16. But the HP at the Anthony house was being used fairly heavily on the morning of June 16.
At 10:27am, Casey downloaded a Fusian photo to her Photobucket account, and the IP for the download was the Bright House IP (97.100.16.240) assigned to 4937 Hopespring Drive. Since the laptop was not being used, the download was made using the HP desktop.
It’s all circumstantial, but my opinion is that Casey used the HP when she lived in the Anthony house prior to June 16. I wouldn’t say she never used the laptop, but the HP desktop was set up in a room right next to Casey’s bedroom, so for convenience alone, that would be her main computer.
