Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Baez Motionfest in Court This Morning
Orlando, FL– If yesterday’s antics at the press conference of attorney for the search group Texas Equusearch, Mark Nejame, were a precursor to this mornings motions hearing, it should prove to be a long day.
Exactly what pending motions are slated to be heard as there are several before the court at this time, remains to be seen, however, all have been initiated on behalf of the defense team Jose Baez and Andrea D. Lyon.
It is presumed the court will hear: Motion to delay the economic charges against Casey Anthony, motion response on behalf of TES Founder Tim Miller to be certified as a witness in the criminal case, Motion of 90 pages regarding evidence tested by the FBI (insert yawn). Motion regarding Anthony Lazzaro phone records, motion regarding Dominic Casey records and motion to preclude Leonard Padilla, Tony Padilla, Tracy Mclaughlin and Rob Dick from testifying as prosecution witnesses. Motion for anything I forgot.
Strap in. Ride starts at 9:30AM EST, live feed here:
Mark Nejame, Todd Macaluso, Andrea Lyon Argue TES Motion
First Up-Mark Nejame vs. Andrea Lyon TES motion 10:18 AM
White shoes. Repeat. White shoes in court. Got the petty out of the way, thanks for indulging me.
Mark presents to his Honor, Stan Strickland, the vast problematic issues with a broad request, which could encompass 4000 different individuals.
Andrea Lyon argued this is not a fishing expedition, it is the equivalent of the defense relying on the “Trust Me” argument on behalf of the state. They are not looking to expose people’s personal information. Ms. Lyon went on say the defense is willing to hang out at Mark’s office until they get what they need.
Judge Strickland in recent receipt of the answer, deferring ruling upon review in short order.
Jose Baez Argues Tony Lazzarro phone records
Baez argues Lazzarro was served, and that the motion has been narrowed and only received response yesterday at 4PM.
AttorneyJay, for Tony Lazzarro, argues he was not served either, was notified by a third party as to ammended motion. Jay agrees to requesting the 6 week period of records from AT &T, but is not optimistic he will be able to. Furthermore, the materiality of the defense request post July 15, 2008, has not been shown. All communication had ceased by then.
Judge Strickland grants a portion of the defense request, June 1 through September 2008, within 30 days.
Jose Baez Argues Motion to Preclude Leonard, Tony, Tracy and Rob
Baez calls George Anthony. Casey begins weeping openly. George discusses his interaction with the team.
Linda points out Mr. Padilla puts up $50k bond, so how is it he was unaware that his intention was to find his grandaughter. George is doubletalking that they volunteered to provide security only once she was out. Jim Campbell, was the retired LE officer was staying at the home at the time. Mr. Baez had to be present when any person spoke to Casey or was around her, if he were not, a family member had to be present at all times.
George states he knew nothing about the privacy arrangements they agreed to. Linda pointed out there were several people that could have transported Casey back and forth, and that they requested this service.
Ms. Drane Burdick presented the audio interviews of Leonard, Rob, and Tracy, about 3 hours worth which the Judge will review. She requested an original copy of the signed agreements for all parties.
*Secret*.. What Baez presented as the true and correct copies of the executed agreements by all parties is NOT.. Ms. Burdick is aware of this
Judge Strickland points out that Baez has had well over a year to file a temporary restraining order as Padilla as he has been “breaking that agreement” all over TV under this argument.
Ms. Drane Burdick argued Baez motion is essentially a gag order, and their has been no agency established, they posess the burden to establish privlege in the first place.
Oral agreement was hatched upfront between all parties, and prior to the written agreement. The agreement to provide security was a condition of posting the bond in the first place.
BAM… What I eluded to, Tony Padilla did not SIGN that agreement in the motion. Hello, Florida Bar, please hold…
I am intentionally shortening this segment, The State ate his lunch, and I have no clue why, but ruling deferred.
Motion to Determine a Trial Date Check Fraud
The state argues the check issues are relegated to specific dates and feels although witnesses may overlap, there is not an issue as to hearing testimony in the murder case. Baez is the only attorney on the docket of the case. The victim, Amy Huizenga, is asserting her right as a victim for the matter to be concluded. As an alternative, the State advises they are willing to go the bench trial route, which would allay the concerns altogether.
Ms. Lyon argues it is not their position it should never be tried and it is the states fault for seeking the death penalty in the murder case. Ms. Lyon sugested the state postpone the check fraud charges 60–90 days behind the murder charge.
Judge Strickland is considering this ruling as well

If that is the case, it seems to me, it is a day late and a dollar short. She should have looked that way, WHILE her daughter was missing, and in court after Caylee’s death.
Also, it could back-fire. Many times, jurors look at attractive people, particularly females as less likely to be monsters or capable of terrible crimes, or feel less compelled to sentence them to harsh time. Remember the pretty blond teacher who had sex with a student, for example? Someone in that case said, “she’s too pretty to go to jail”. I don’t remember her name, or who said this, perhaps someone else can.
I believe, regardless of the grooming element, that Casey was genuinely upset. However, I think it has more to do with her finally recognizing that this trouble she has gotten herself into may not be as easy to escape as she once considered. Again, probably Lyons or Mac drove home the fact that the Padilla, etal. (especially McLaughlin/sp?) testimony might be difficult to suppress. Dare I say that she may have even felt a bit guilty that, in my opinion, she was witnessing her father potentially perjuring himself on the stand.
If Mac had this ‘substantial evidence’ to prove that she was innocent, wouldn’t this actually be the appropriate time for Casey to be brighter and more positive and ‘smiley’?
Maybe Baez has been unrealistically confident, in the past, with relaying to her the chances of getting off. Now the heavy hitters are on board, and they are probably telling her, more realistically and frankly, what she is up against…Respectfully, my opinion.
# 420 Todd
Todd, they can utilize any defense that they want. Defendants sometimes change their stories; even innocent ones. (I’m not saying that is necessarily the case here).
But if you look at some people who have given false or coerced confessions, a defense team is obviously going to go in a different direction than that signed confession. Is it an uphill battle? Certainly.
Why do you think the producer from the Today show has been seen in court sitting next to the Anthonys? What do you think they are up to?
Jim Lichtenstein…if that name doesn’t do much for ya…how’s this for a BAM !
He is a producer for NBC Today Show !!! He and reporter Kerry Sanders usually come into town just before a hearing.

# 453-Blink
He may genuinely be a nice guy, but boy, that “Today” show lobs softball questions, and doesn’t appear to really challenge inconsistencies, or far out theories, at least in re. to this case. (In my opinion)
Well, I agree, but that has been true imo, in almost every msm coverage of this case and it burns my shorts. They are interested in the “coup” of the interview snare, and to stay in the running for the really big “get”.
B
OK, you’all are getting me into the science which I’d like to avoid but I guess this is how the trial is going to go. I hate the fact the defense is going to try to “baffle the jury with bullshit” but it seems inevitable.
This comment is about dumping little Caylee’s body and when. I know Blink is 1000 % sure the body was there from late June but I still have my doubts. (sorry Blink, IMO) Has anyone asked themselves “why three bags”? I can’t understand why she used two garbage bags and a laundry bag. Why not three garbage bags? When I throw things out, I use one bag. To me, it seems like a progression. Maybe, and I don’t know why, the first one was falling apart, the second was falling apart, then, a stronger one was needed. Maybe I’m uninformed. Does anyone know which bag the body was placed in first?
I know one of our local TV stations reenacted the pizza decomp in the trunk but has anyone attempted to reenact the decomp of two plastic bags and a laundry bag filled with a dead body in the woods of Florida during a tropical storm and extreme heat and humidity. I certainly haven’t, but I live in a very clean metro part of Orlando and I can catch a rat any day of the week in my back yard. (peanut butter and a trap works incredibly well) I just can’t see putting a bag full of food in my back yard in June and then finding very much of it intact in December. It just seems impossible to me. I’m talking about the bags themselves. The animals would tear it apart getting to the food. The wind, rain and sunshine would finish off the plastic bags. I’m not sure of the quality of the laundry bag but if it was in water for a long period of time and then sunshine, I would think it would deteriorate beyond belief. Blink, do you know the condition of the bags? Do you know what order the bags were in?
The plastic bags (2) were intertwined and shredded badly. There was remnants of them scattered throughout the area. The laundry bag had the metal rings still fabric covered, handles intact.
B
In regards to Casey’s “cupid” profile: She claims that her annual income is $25,000-$35,000? Now I must ask the obvious: How much of that is reported as Amy’s income? How much of that is reported as her 5 finger discounts? Forgery? Panhandling? etc etc etc
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0812/16/ng.01.html cindy and george wanted full immunity in the days just following the remains being found :they admit to conflicting statements,and wont make conflicting statements anymore.didnt baez say in the recent state depos that nothing had changed,nothing new, nothing different.also in this transcipt is a pundit saying absolutely you would have to offer something new and valuable to be granted immunity(you wont get it for nothing)so if this is true wonder what lee spilled.
jeff hopkins ex girlfriend cara luri,carrie is the nanny’s name on one tree hill. anyone know anything on her? (i am not saying she was invovled ,just trying to follow casey’s inspiration for the nanny story) casey’s cupid profile list one tree hill as a show she watches, ,the season finale was may 19,(there is not a synopsis for this episode)in one the episodes the nanny is called a 10 twice in a swimming pool scene with spooky music premonitioning the kidnap scene a couple episodes later .and what exactly was jeff’s problem with the searching ,i didnt quite get that,as per his le interview.
#437 Maura—thanks for the info about the body farm, very interesting and really helps with the time frame for me. i didnt know about add–i learned a lot.
#448 westsidehudson—agree with you there about Casey’s appearance, maybe like you said the “heavy hitters” are clueing her in on her chances more than Jose does. also agree with you on “shes too pretty to go to jail—so maybe she should keep using that eyeliner. i dont know what would be more effective with a jury. but Blink i think says they will want a plea bargain.
i sure wish i knew what was found july 3rd too. i know my comments are definitely amateurish compared to most here but i do enjoy reading everyday and thank everyone for their contributions. hope everyone is having a blessed day.
Blink: speaking of the bags, how is Baez going to talk his way out of the fact of the bags being the same, found both at the scene, and at the home? Do you know if the lot numbers from the bags found at the scene, and at the home are in sequence?
Tisk, Tisk Todd.
You have not done your homework on this one. No blink biscuits for you today.
Anyone care to help him out with a link?

blink, can I have some loaner biscuits while I stand quietly in the corner?
boz, maybe one plastic garbage bag wasn’t strong enough to hold little Caylee. She was 35-40 pounds, wasn’t she? I’d think you’d need something a lot stronger than a trash bag, i.e, a fabric laundry bag with sturdy handles.

I’ve written in other comments that I believe Caylee died on the afternoon of June 16 and that I agree with OCSO that the body was placed in the Suburban woods around June 18. OCSO was guided by The Body Farm’s analysis of trunk evidence in making that decision as am I.
I do not know of any evidence that supports the idea that the body was not placed in the woods until June 23 or 24. Some people believe the reason Casey wouldn’t let George go the trunk to get the gas cans on the afternoon of June 24 is because Caylee’s body was in the trunk (I think she didn’t want him getting near the smell, which would have been noticable to anyone leaning over the stain). Blink doesn’t believe George ran into Casey on the afternoon of June 24, so I don’t understand why she likes the theory that the body wasn’t placed in the Suburban woods until June 23 or 24.
As I tried to explain, there are numerous scenarios someone could play with involving different locations for the body with different temperatures, but theory has to make sense on other, non-scientific, levels as well.
As someone asked in another comment recently, why would Casey bury Caylee’s body for a few days, then dig her up and throw her body above the ground in swampy woods around the corner? If she buried the body in the backyard to buy time to think of a good, safe final resting place for Caylee’s corpse, couldn’t she have come up with a better long-term plan than driving around the corner and running 20 feet into the woods?
In the theory that the body wasn’t put in the Suburban woods until June 23 or 24, where was the body until then? If Caylee was in the Anthony backyard, where exactly in the backyard? How deeply was the body buried? How big was the grave mound and how was it hidden from view? Caylee was three feet tall and weighed 35-40 pounds, and her corpse would have been bulky from the laundry bag, blanket, and trash bags. The grave would have been fairly large.
George and Cindy worked in the yard on the weekend of June 21 and 22, and George was in the backyard to mow the lawn on June 23. If Caylee died on June 16, then the smell coming from the grave would have been powerful when the Anthonys were in the yard. Plus, the Anthonys have dogs that they allow into the backyard, dogs that would have been raising a ruckus about the smell.
When exactly did Casey dig the body up? If she buried the body on June 18 with Burner’s shovel, what tool did she use to exhume the body?
On what day did the decomp spill occur onto the trunk liner? Did the spill occur within a couple of days after death (before burial) or did the spill occur when the body was exhumed on June 23 or 24? The compounds in the trunk point to the early stage of decomposition, so if the decomp spill occured after a full week of decomposition (June 23 or 24), then why weren’t there more chemicals in greater quantities, consistent with a longer PMI?
This is an excerpt from Casey’s Cupid Profile.
My most prominent memory…
hands down, the moment i found out that i was going to be a mom. it was completely unexpected, and i’ll have to admit, i was horrified. in that moment, i knew that my life was going to change, and that i was going to become the happiest i have ever been. not once have i ever questioned that, nor have i doubted the wonderful feeling it is to be a parent
Notice the word “HORRIFIED” to describe what she felt when she found out she was pregnant. Now how many of us women can honestly say we used the word “HORRIFIED” to describe how we felt when we found out we were pregnant. How about you guys when you found out either your girlfriend or wife became pregnant at a not to conveniant time?
Remember LP always says there’s a little truth to everything she says. Obviously already stating the fact she didn’t want Caylee.
You have probably mentioned this before and I’m sorry if you have but during the latest courtroom DRAMA KC did not shed a tear. It looked more like she was giving “the finger” to her dad or the judge than actually crying. IMO
I think this is a definite “actions speak louder than words” moment for the defense. They are so eager to point out how Casey can be proven innocent, they have proof to that effect, a work-for-free nanny, 2 ex boyfriends, and a partridge in a pear tree are now the accused. Yet, they don’t produce anything, just talk. If they had anything, I would think they would produce it to the DA and judge, and at the very least, allow bond. But all they are doing is empty talk. If they are already beginning the “lying game”, how do they expect to be at least partially credible come trial time?
Cupid Casey– premeditation of ‘something’– maybe she was trying to use her wares to snare someone (within 10 miles of her home). Maybe not just the character profile of a wonderful ‘mommy’, but maybe she could find someone on the net who could be useful in her scheme of things.
On another George, note– remember, a very very very long time ago, when George faced his deposers at Mn’M, and Keith Mitnik (IIRC) used the term ‘remains’??? (link http://www.forthepeople.com George deposition) And George flew off the handle at him, saying that if he used the term ‘remains’ one more time, he was walking out of there??
Did anyone hear the voice from the gallery in Judge Stricklands court yelling out (off camera) when Todd Macaluso, lawyer for the accused, used the term ‘REMAINS’ as he talked about ‘the remains’ being placed in the woods??? Something like (taking some literary licence here)….
“If you say the word ‘REMAINS’ one more time, Mr. Macaluoso, I’m walking outta here, and you can take your ‘eff’n’ flunkies and get out too!!!”
Anyone??? No???? Oh…. I guess George must have ‘remained’ tolerant when it was their lawyer.
#440 Maura/ #449 Westsidehudson
Could the body have been in the covered sandbox all that time. Sand would be cooler and the covered lid would keep it hidden/protected from animals, etc.
The cadaver dogs did hit on the sandbox.
Casey borrowed that shovel from the neighbor but there was no dirt on it when returned. Dry sand would roll off.
was any of the sand removed and tested for decomp. fluids?
ros– and if Casey was using ‘cleaners’ in her car trunk later, and if cleaners were readily available in the Anthony house, especially in the garage where there is laundry soap, maybe pre-wash stain removers, paper towels, and if the Anthony’s liked to ‘clean’, as stated by Annie and by Tony and Nathan and others who had Casey in their homes, then Casey would as likely, have used some spray on the shovel, paper towels, wiped off anything that might have been there, maybe even masked some marks if she’d used it to lift a paver or two. Also, if there were anything disgusting on the shovel, she could rinse it in the yard with a hose, push it into the ground (where easily? — the sandbox ‘sand’ which is also abrasive to ‘clean’)
(even so, the shovel could appear clean but maybe if there had been contact with fluids, some oily residues could remain– maybe we don’t know that yet, just that it appeared to have been unused)
ChicagoJudy, when I put something very large and heavy in a garbage bag I don’t rely on the plastic handles. I pick the entire bag up just like holding a small child. I can’t remember the last time I used two or three bags at the same time. The only time that would be required for me is if the bag was ripped.
Maura, I don’t think she buried anything in dirt. Remember, the neighbor said she looked fine when she returned the shovel. I’ll tell you, when I do ANYTHING outside for more than 5 minutes in June here in Orlando you can tell it. I think the sandbox is possible or even the pool. Maybe she just left her in the pool. That might alter decompensation. What do you think about that?
Were Casey’s fingerprints found on the ducttape, hence the reinstatement of the DP?
hahaha Kleat. I hope you remain hilarious for the remainder of this ordeal.
#435 Clockwatcher:
This is exactly what I don’t get. How can Baez be so bold to tell such blatant lies when he has been on different media outlets in the past contradicting HIMSELF and confirming TP’s current arguement? Does he think these videos just disappear or does he just think SA can’t/won’t use them against him? IMO, if this were brought to the judge’s attention, it should shut down this entire issue immediately. Wonder why SA didn’t think to bring evidence like this to court last week to prove Baez is full of it.
Defense files motion to ask for cheque fraud case schedule of November 2010. They say the state isn’t asking for a speedy trial anyway, and this date will give them what they want– the case back on track with a date.
New documents and pic’s released today….
http://www.clickorlando.com/news/20547526/detail.html
The defense has also received a photo of Casey’s tattoo, ‘La Bella Vita’ plus 1,700 more pages of documents, eight more photo bucket files and FBI records.
Link for this story is: http://www.wftv.com/news/20548234/detail.html
and for the new motion (prior post) http://www.wftv.com/pdf/20547538/detail.html
Ok, Blink– two new witnesses added to the State Witness List which was supplied to Baez yesterday. Any news on what the relationship of these two have to the case? (Jim Campbell is not listed, could it be other witnesses related to the Baez arguement to gag the Padilla’s and crew?)
Category “A”
Sean Henady, 1291 Cumberland Avenue, Lafayette, IN 47906
James Thompson, 905 North Orlando Avenue, Maitland, FL 32751
I do. Sit tight.
B
and still on the same story source page:
The supplemental docs include:aeriel views from Caylee searches, photos of Casey’s tattoos, and
FBI docs include documents, standard ops, quality systems docs, proficiency tests, etc (defense requested those way back when with Linda K-B’s arguements)
And 8 more Photobucket CD’s.
Probably a lot of ‘dry’ docs for the defense to attack the FBI for some inept work or conspiracy theory, or junk science.
#473 Kleat the FBI has swabs from the neighbor who owned the shovel, plus swabs or whatever taken from the shovel for analysis. Thats in the discovery released about the forensic evidence. The results for all the stuff sent for the FBI to analyze has not been released. Evidently because they are out of state they are not bound by the Sunshine law (?).
*****************Warning graphic autopsy things below********
#455 Parts of Caylee’s body had been “drug away by animals/washed by water/whatever” dispersed before all of her “body mass”, (if you will, to be less gross,) was decomposed/gone. The fact that most of her lower body, for instance, was drug away from where it was dumped proves that the body: 1. still had enough tissue left for animals to be interested in/ or for water to wash away intact. 2. still had tissue holding it together for the lower part to be dispersed intact. Tiny bones didn’t just fall off as they were drug/washed away from the dump site. The fact that this was the case is IMO proof that the body was placed there very early after death.
Without going into graphic details, the fact that the hair mass to one side of her head, along with the duct tape is indicative that the skull was not reposistioned deep into the decomp process. IMO I think the forensics is going to have a helluva time getting the juror’s to believe the body was not there early on in the decomp process. Throwing an object of twisted bags/laundry bag with metal attached,and, not dislocating the skull/hairmat/tape, and THEN the bones getting out of 3 bags and going off in different directions in anatomical alliance is just too much for me to imagine. JMO
Maura can put it in better words than I can! Hats off to your analytical skills, Maura.
fbi-latent print evidence,in the new docs.wonder we’ll see.
westside-#446
Big difference between being truly delusional (living in a fantasy world) vs. being a scam artist.
Casey was not yet a murderer when she created that cupid.com profile, but she was certainly a very practiced scam/con artist (theft/check fraud/pretending to be someone she was not).
Judge Strickland ordered a psych evaluation at the get-go, because he wanted to ensure that she was competent to understand the charges against her/could assist in her defense, etc. Had she been truly living in a fantasy world (delusional/psychotic), there would have been a competency hearing long ago.
I intentionally posted the cupid.com profile right after I posted the text or IM chat log between Casey O Marie and L7Tone, to show the obvious disparity.
If you find the original Cupid.com profile, in its entirety, you will see that the main emphasis is on how much she loves her daughter (who, in real life, she refers to as “the little snothead”, “the kid”, who she seeks to pawn off on others every day, etc); her family (who, in real life, she detests/accuses of being “controlling”, a “cheat”, and of abusing her sexually); her friends (who she steals from and/or lies to on a routine basis).
If I can find the full original, I will post it. It goes on an on about her daughter. Not something young, single mothers typically emphasize on a dating site when the idea is to attract a single, young man.
Had she just mentioned the fact that she had a child–without the overwhelming emphasis on how much her daughter is her first priority/the most important thing in her life/etc–I’d say that the profile would be of zero value re: proof of premeditationt.
However, it’s the obvious focus on the daughter/how much she loves her,etc– on a singles dating site– coupled with the other distortions about her feelings towards her family, in particular, that leads to the conclusion this was not an attempt to get a date, but rather an attempt to “set a stage”.
(also remember that during this time period, her “dance card” was rather full– Anthony R… Ricardo M… Tony L… perhaps Jesse G… perhaps Chris S…)
westside- #451
Agree with you on all points except one.
I don’t believe Casey has the ability to feel guilty. Her tears are reserved for herself only. (And not, as you kindly suggested, for her father, who was so blatantly lying under oath in open court).
You hit it on the head when you said it appears that someone on the defense team is finally being candid with her about her predicament. (I believe that this would have come from Lyons, not Macaluso).
Answer to my post 476 about the two new state witnesses… WESH says
“two people have been added to the state’s witness list; an aerial imaging and computer expert.”
Source: http://www.wesh.com/news/20548370/detail.html
susanm, someone may correct me, but that isn’t latent print ‘evidence’ or reports that’s being released it seems– it is ‘supplemental documents’ relating to procedures etc, that the defense will review to perhaps challenge, or interpret what the state presents in the way of ‘latent print’ evidence.
(I could be wrong, but that seems to be what the supplemental FBI docs are about, in this release. Anyone else??)

http://justice4caylee.forumotion.net/dedicated-transcript-thread-f6/10-june-2008-text-messages-between-tony-l-and-casey-t1714.htm
Notice Casey’s comments:
“the kid is passssed the f*** out”
“baby, trust me. in a couple days, s**t, 3 days to be exact, this place is mine all mine, and we can do as we please”
“my mom is actually very curious to meet the boy thathas [sic] me walking around singing like a nutcase”
“unfortunately, i still have too much damn respect for my folks”
“i don’t want any drama until they move out. just a couple more days…”
“i just know i shouldn’t have you over this late, not while they’re staying here”
and don’t miss the part where she pretends to be at work/ in her “office” and talks about “Jules”/the nanny, etc
Okay of course as I read back on some of this case, what STAYS in my mind is in the very beginning, I think it may have been in August, One night late, there was a scanner involved and a time when George and Lee rushed out of the house to ‘follow up’ up on something down the street from their house and I think it was the site where they discovered the angel? Am I the only one that keeps hashing this around?
I keep thinking that this is around the time when Kronk first made phone calls? I also remember a blogger sayin that she searched in this area and she actually waded in the water. I know who this blogger is and won’t bring up her name at the moment, but Blink if you want it, I can give it to you privately as I know this is fact!
I just want to know what they are holding back from us soooooo bad… lol
It would just bring this case together for me is all.
I am tired of the game playing by the defense.
Justice for Caylee already!!!!
Whilst ‘Sitting Tight’ as directed by Ms. Blink re: new state’s witnesses etc, I’ll put silverspnr’s latest on auto-read. (darn wish I had a decent female computer voice– the most reasonable one, least annoying to listen to, is a male voice)
Thanks, Shelly, I didn’t think the evidence on the shovel has been released– expect if there’s anything for the state’s case, it will not come out til trial, like so much else. I bet though, that we don’t have all the questions for the shovel owner, about use, storage, care, of the shovel (ie: whether he cleaned his shovel with degreaser or whether it was used to bury a pet etc) and any answers will potentially come in at trial.
Sean Henady took aerial photographs of the area where Caylee’s remains were found. James Thompson owns a Maitland computer repair business.
http://www.clickorlando.com/news/20547526/detail.html
Question: How does Judge Strickland present his orders to last week’s motions? Will he call the sides back to the courtroom or just fax copies to the state and defense? What if he wishes to have more information? (ie: about those dvd conversations of the Padilla’s and investigators– would he want to have sworn statements by TP and F-C LP?) Or would those statements to LE be enough to suggest that for one thing, there is conflict between GA and the P’s as to what was said/discussed/agreed upon at the ‘warehouse/office complex’ site on Orange Blossom trail? Obviously George was at the meeting, but he knew nothing about who was posting bond, who was providing the 50 grand, nor what the intent might be for LP to search for Caylee and help bring her safely home.
#487
Thanks silver!
oops, sorry. #489..
I have a few of observations that I’d like to “throw out”. First, in one of Cindy’s depositions, she said that Casey didn’t use her credit cards. When the officer asked if that included her J.C. Penney card, Cindy said Casey had not used it. When I read about Tony, he said she had used the card 9 times, including buying shoes (to wear to Fusion?). Doesn’t Cindy realize that it’s easy to find out whether that is true? I think it was even on video at Penney’s.
I also wondered if Casey had the gas cans with the intent to burn up her car. When Dad took the cans away, she left the car to be stolen.
Maybe Casey thought her parents would believe that both she and Caylee were dead and she would be free to have her “Bella Vita”. She wrote a guy in California saying that she was planning to visit him. she had lied and stolen from her family and friends and she knew she was almost out of time before Amy discovered the missing money.
“Lee knows what he’s done”…..maybe he took a computer into Mr. Thompson to have the hard drive cleared? Maybe? INTERESTING!
thanks georgiamom
Also, wasn’t there a laptop stolen from ZG office when the break in occurred? Around June 10th, I think! Maybe he cleared that one…..I just wish this trial would start already…seems the more simplified you can keep the information the easier it will be for common sense folks to follow. Maura is soooo intelligent I get lost before I ever finished reading one of her comments…LOL (she is definitely a supersleuth though)
