Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Padilla Interviews Released Today

Orlando, FL– In the latest blow to the defense team dealt this week, The interview recordings of Leonard Padilla, Tracy Mclaughlin, Rob Dick  and bail bondsman Tony Padilla are set to be released today.

Padilla and his team met with Agent Nick Savage of the FBI and a member of the Orange County Sheriffs Office in their home town of Sacramento, California last Fall.

Lead Investigator Corporal Detective Yuri Melich was slated to make the trip to interview the bondsquad personally, but was injured the morning of his flight in a motorcycle accident.

Jose Baez and the defense team for Casey Anthony argued to keep the Padillas et al out of the witness box alleging their was an “agency” established between he and the group, which would render their testimony work product and privileged. Not only did Judge Stan Strickland say in open court that he had never seen such a motion; he denied it entirely.

Tony Padilla, through Prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick, alleges that the agreement contained in the defense motion was not even the agreement signed by him in the first place. Ms. Burdick requested the originals of the agreement in question; it is unknown at this time if they have been turned over.

The recordings will be added to blinkoncrime.com as soon as they are available, please check back for updates.

    Patiently waitinggggg!

    I have always been curious about who Casey was talking to on her phone outside that hotel during the night in mid-June.

    L.Padilla has mentioned the phone conversation in a media interview (IIRC) with N.G., but she either did not hear him or did not want to go down that street.

    Love this site. All of the contributors are so knowledgeable.

    I will go set in the corner and continue lurking. Good Day.

  5. kp-in says:

    Labor day weekend means I might have a “headache” excuse and play hookie from all the festivities to stay home and enjoy the playout of the new revelations….:)

    High fives to not only us Blinkers who post,(including those who lurk). But, also, some hero’s like Melich, Allen, and Scott B. and gang. And of course, our beloved Blink!

    We sit on the side of the courtroom for Caylee. And, on the field we are carrying the ball to the goal line…I see it in site.

  16. Bearly says:

    On pins and needles here. Blink, how do you and co multitask so well? Can you give lessons?

    Waiting, waiting, waiting! I’m busy jumping between Blink, Court TV

    Martha, I lived in Houston area for 9 yrs when I was a child.
    Currently in Southernnnn IN. GO Colts!

    It just breaks my heart to look at the new pictures released. She was such a beautiful little girl.

    O/T, Sorry MS. B

  19. georgiamom says:

    I am mostly a lurker also. I have a question about the duck tape. How do we know this is not the roll of tape AH had lost early on? I don’t have notes on everything like most of you seem to so I am at a lose at this point trying to remember about the roll of lost tape. I know Blink doesn’t like someone just throwing out questions without doing the research, but I’m not even sure where to go to find out more info on this. Could someone point me in the right direction?

  20. martha says:

    #17 comment by kp-in—-i have lived in the houston area for about 25 years. what’s the weather like in in.? we have finally gotten some rain here and it is cooling down 93 instead of over 100—fall is arriving lol. it is such a shame that this has gone on for so long and that another year is still in the wings before we get a plea or a trial. which do you think it will be? i am glad though that they are going ahead with the fraud thing.–that will give Casey practice in answering up to her deeds.

  21. dddeerma says:

    Thanks for the link, mariann. I had thought I couldn’t possibly dislike Casey more, but the LP picture of her behavior is just damning to her defense. What mother could act like that? Her hatred for LE comes out clearly too. She accused both LP and her own dad of acting like cops. Who did she think was going to find Caylee for her? She’s more upset about cops than the “fact” her little baby has been kidnapped. Geez, you would think she could have put together a better act.

  22. Lisa says:

    I was listening Tracy’s interview. Casey wanted to sign autographs and go on the Howard Stern show!

  23. Kleat says:

    Can you imagine, if you had a missing child or a child missing who you cared for deeply, and you were told that in a vehicle in which that child had ridden last, before going missing had ‘decomp’ air samples in it… would you just say ‘a lot of people had access to that car’ or would an innocent person, mother, family member, have fear struck into their soul, whether in a few moments they would ‘rationalize’ away the science as non 100% as some sort of denial. That would be heart wrenching news. Casey’s reaction is to turn it to ‘not MY fault!’.

  24. westsidehudson says:

    …..Excerpt:

    When Casey Anthony came home from jail the first time, her jovial demeanor seemed a bit odd to McLaughlin, she told a sheriff’s detective and FBI agent on Sept. 19.

    Asked what that homecoming was like, McLaughlin replied, “Just the strangeness of everything … She comes in happy as can be. Hey, hi, gives me a big hug….not a word about Caylee. Nothing.”

    Casey Anthony said she wanted a shower and talked about what she wanted for dinner.

    “I’m thinking, she’s not even upset. Not a word about her daughter,” McLaughlin said.

    George and Cindy Anthony didn’t say anything either.

    “It’ was just unbelievable,” she said. “It was like she’d gone to Iraq or something and just got back. So there’s still nothing about Caylee.”

    As McLaughlin kept Casey Anthony by her side at all times, she told detectives, her behavior continued to be striking.

    “She’ll tell a story and she has such a belief in herself. She has no grasp on reality. This is where her problem is. She has no grasp.”

    McLaughlin gave one scenario about Casey Anthony’s quest for the limelight: McLaughlin said she would comment on a photo about Caylee, but Casey would turn the conversation onto herself.

    “It was like it was competition. She wanted the limelight. It was sad. You couldn’t talk about anything else. It just had to be her.”

    Asked about the first car ride to defense attorney Jose Baez’s office, McLaughlin said, Casey Anthony talked about herself.”She didn’t talk about Caylee at all.”

    She talked about signing photos of herself for money, and even mentioned going on a radio show.

    “It’s all fun and games for her.”

    Blink,

    Is Yuri Melich going to be alright???

    Perfectly fine, he is all better now

  27. westsidehudson says:

    Who or hat is Graham, Builder, Jones, Pratt & Marks, LLP to this case? Why is there a photo of this?
    (#0904caylee11.jpg)

  28. westsidehudson says:

    Sorry, who or “what”

  29. dddeerma says:

    About the duct tape: it is being said it is a limited edition industrial strength tape, not generally found in most stores. It was also said that George had stolen it and brought it home from one of his guard jobs. Is there any truth to the George stealing it story? Tracy’s interview just continues the narcissism evidence against Casey, doesn’t it? I imagine the Anthonys will all just say that they were told not to talk in front of the Padilla crew. Which makes their testimony about Padilla being part of the lawyer’s defense team that much more a deliberate lie. You would think that even if Casey was not upset, some other one of them would have been.

  30. Lisa says:

    I do feel that Tracy’s testimony will be the nail in Casey’s coffin. The biggest bombshell is when Tracy mentioned date rape drugs and Casey tells her that Chloroform will knock a person right out. This was before there was any mention of Chloroform by LE.

  31. mountaintime says:

    So….Casey talks to Tracy about date rape drugs…and brings up chloroform BEFORE IT IS EVER MENTIONED BY L.E.??
    Do I have that right???
    Or had it already been discussed on the news…?
    Because if not…….
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Charlene says:

    This is the frist time I have ever left a comment about this case, I have followed this case from the begining and I a few questions. Casey said that the nanny ( zanny ) had a car accident and she was hurt and what I do not get is was this ever checked out, Police that was at the time this happen did they check the hoisptal. I have not seen anything updated about it. Tow company were her car was brought to. I am also a grandmother of a 2 year old little girl and to a 20 mounth old grandson and the love I have for them is more than I can put into words I spend everyday with them. And I drive my grandson to daycare and pick him up everyday, And my youngest daughter takes her daughter to day care every morning and I know both schools thay attend and everyones names and I just can not understand the Casey’s way of living she just did not learn this on her own, You learn from what you see in the house hold and George in Cindy are wearing shaded glasses. I have been reading Blink for a while and everyone here is very loving towards Caylee and it is nice to see that. Thanks for being here and helping the people of Boston get through this awful death of this little angel. love you caylee from Boston Mass

  33. westsidehudson says:

    I can’t get that video to work for me. If anyone finds an MP3 (or another) version of Tracy’s interview, would you please post it?

  34. todd in tulsa says:

    Blink, how do you think Baez will attempt to discredit Leonard Padilla and his testimony about what happened at the Anthony home after Casey was bonded out of jail?

  35. mountaintime says:

    (blushing)
    Sorry Lisa (29)…
    Either I did not see your comment, or it was not up yet…
    But…is that the case? That LE had not yet mentioned chloroform?
    Because , to me, that seems pretty big!

  36. Deb says:

    Tracy’s interview gives the best insight yet, to Caseys true personality. She’s even worse than I thought. It was all a game to her, and she thrived on the attention. Unreal, just unreal.

  37. Lisa says:

    Mountaintime,

    That is what it seems like to me! That she had this discussion with Tracy BEFORE the results about chloroform were made public.

  38. Kleat says:

    wsh, it’s not video– so far anyway, audio only.

    But, it seems they are not yet full length, at least both LP and TMc’s have closed well before the minutes were up– over half, but not full length. (>??)

    Rob Dick’s interview is ‘up’ on wftv but it’s a whole minute and two seconds long– so far.

  39. Kleat says:

    mountaintime– seems so, volunteers the word chloroform before Tracy leaves the house and before the air sample results made public, apparently. That’s big– Casey KNEW about chloroform, and as Blink said, recreational sex uses, Casey and Ricardo possibly. But Casey knew of it’s recreational uses.

  40. Kleat says:

    Baez giving the 20/20 kidnap case documentary is also HUGE! How to act– demo’ing to Casey what happens if you don’t ‘act appropriately’.

    Baez saying Casey said ‘I’m holding my head up high’ etc, as she left the house to go to his office, under his arm or umbrella that day– and Tracy knew that Casey did NOT say that, but that Casey had not enough time to mouth all those words, she said apparently ‘get me the F**k out of here’.

    And what timing, we’ve heard George A’s testimony at the recent hearing that he couldn’t hear things in his house that were being said, yet Tracy says otherwise, with Baez going to turn up the stereo because you could hear everything in that house.

    George not being rude to ‘evesdrop’– right!! His grandbaby was MISSING and he knew his daugher had more info she was not sharing (he had said that to LE early on), so what is to worry about– being rude and listening and not having a chance to save the life of a baby (anyone’s baby— anyone’s baby period!!!).

  41. Lisa says:

    Wow, there is just so much damning evidence from Tracy’s interview! The sunglass game with Rob Dick, wanting to watch “The Hills”, telling Tracy that Baez wants her to act sad about Caylee! There was absolutely no concern for Caylee whatsoever! None!

  42. Lisa says:

    I want to know why ABC was paying for Casey’s lunches while she was at Baez’s office!

  43. Lisa says:

    From listening to Tracy and Rob’s statements, I think Lee is more involved than I had originally thought.

  44. westsidehudson says:

    Kleat

    That is a windows media player. In the past, when I have attempted to download the player, my computer freezes. So I have given up on it. I’ve read bits and pieces on other sites and here, so I appreciate everyone’s comments.

  45. chica says:

    wftv doesnt show the whole interview with tracy voice does it cut off or is there another part.

  46. chica says:

    thanks kleat you answered my question. I didnt take time to read posts before I asked the question. the tape cuts off grrrrrrrrrr

  47. artgal says:

    Tracy says we are all losers! She mentioned Websleuths and says that people that sit at computers and blog about these cases are all losers! (or words to that effect) Not nice Tracy!

  48. Kleat says:

    Rob Dicks interview cut off a minute or so in, then went much longer, so third time might have completed, but seemed to cut off at talking about Cindy, and the fight on 15th issues, and Rob asking/demanding to know which of the phone calls on her records, was the call where Casey told her she was never going to see Caylee again. Rob talked about the neighbours hearing the fight on the 15th, Cindy continued to deny, no fights for past 6 months by that time. And then it sort of ended there.

    Was that the end of Rob Dick’s interview? Or just so far?

  49. kari says:

    KP

    I agree about the pictures breaking your heart.. mine too! Caylee is so beautiful and to see those new pictures made me cry.
