Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Brad Conway Releasing New Evidence
Orlando, FL– Brad Conway, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony vows to release evidence during an 11 am press conference today in his office that raise “serious questions about this case”.
Following the release of the lastest round of discovery, Conway announced there were items that were supposed to be released by the State Attorney’s office yesterday, that were not.
Since Mr. Conway has no legal standing to release anything on behalf of the State Attorney’s office, it is surmised such information was supplied by his clients, George and Cindy. George and Cindy Anthony were previously represented by Orlando attorney Mark Nejame.

Can Conway legally do this? Doesn’t this somehow represent a “conflict of interest” somehow being that he has no authority in releasing documents period? Wouldn’t this constitute some form of “ethics violation” or at the very least “interferring with a criminal investigation?” Help! I thought I knew almost everything about this case until yesterday’s doc dump … I am just really starting to lose faith in future justice for little Caylee. Please tell me there is something really damning we don’t all know yet and justice will eventually be served for this precious, innocent little girl! My heart aches at the recent discovery regarding the “stain in the form of a small child in the trunk” … OMG, I just want to cry a river this morning!
Justice23 have faith. Go to the other thread prior to this one and look at my question and Blinks answer. Its in the 180 section
oops sorry Justice it is comment #167. Blink said to have faith, there are fingerprints on the tape. Plus someone else brought up a very good point. Just because the duct tape doesn’t match to the Anthonys what about the duct tape Amy or Annie accused Casey of taking
Blink, if you know any reporters at this presser, please text message them to ask Brad if his clients believe that the remains were those of Caylee, or if they belive that she is still alive.
Dont have to, they believe she is dead.
B
believe…
24 minutes past 11 in Orlando and still no “news conference.” I wonder if Mr. Conway chickened out?
Cnn just announced that George and Cindy will release the “evidence” themselves. Hmm, did Brad bail? Probably not.
I guess he considers himself a friend of the court? (amicus curiae)
If this is what Tony Padilla was talking about, how did he get this information? Is he working with George and Cindy to find Casey innocent? Remember, he thinks they are great people! (gag)
In a way, if the duct tape does NOT match the gas can tape, and her prints are on it, it’s a bit worse. I can understand an argument that Casey’s prints could innocently be on a roll of tape at the Ant’s home. But they shouldn’t be on this strange tape (unless it IS the tape from the anything but clothes party that got “lost,” in which case, her prints could innocently be on that one since she used it).

Suz, I would think that under those circumstances, he’d be providing info to the court, rather than the public at large?
Oh Silver where are you?
George and Cindy are utterly riduculous. I am just shaking my head.
Yes they are upset their own written (C and G)words have revealed so much about them.
As these documents so obviously do. I would say digging up dirt on innocent people who have been CLEARED (and thats the least of the damage here)Reveals people who value little truth integrity and the understanding that this is transparent.
They have lost so much in CayLee and now facing the loss of their daughter,that what may have carried them on through life and provided strength and support from others is being lost. Their misplaced anger, revenge and false accusations towards people who have nothing to do with CayLees death has not bode well for George and Cindy.
Attempting to destroy all kinds of folks unjustly for the sake of saving their daughter has been a failure of a tactic to put it mildly.
Here’s a sorry excuse for media outlets — they have taken the liberty of changing it to a bloody stain!

Where is the smoking gun? Hopefully they are saving the best evidence for the trial.
they had the press conference but it wasn’t held live
Brad Conway ran for judge once, failed, wants to do it again. He shouldn’t overstep his authority, or be seen to, if he wants a become a judge. (or have a political career — once in politics, he can do as he likes– lying is allowed, even expected there!)
Blink, they have believed she is dead from early on, but they still ‘carried on’ as if she was not. What is to stop them from doing the same thing? If they successfully get evidence thrown out ‘in the public mind’ even before an evidentiary hearing to let a judge do that, then they’ve influenced the jury pool, and the next step in their evidence, might be to use the ‘she’s alive, we have to have hope, we are ‘clarifying’ what we were led to believe by others which we now know is wong… and she is still alive because of bad police work, sloppy incompetent evidence handing, or downright lies. (won’t be the first time Cindy accuses the police of lying, nor the second, third, even in this latest dump)
This all fits now, from Todd Black character in Baez’s closet to present. George knew the police would be coming into the home to gather evidence, he could do a duct tape roll switch. We know that the Anthony’s were into clean and destroy mode very early on. Ex-cop picks up a family vehicle from a towing company and it’s had a dead body in it, by all of his past professional experience, and he knows something is wrong, yet he dutifully brings the car home as he breathes in what was his grandbaby– and he knew it.
#3 … thank you Cindee .. I just don’t know what to really believe anymore with this case. Just heartwrenching all around.
Brad did it himself– but did he answer any press questions about the doc dump yesterday (which he’s raising questions about the state not doin
http://www.wesh.com/news/21145778/detail.html
“In a press conference, Brad Conway released more than 1,000 pages of documents, including the results of a FBI test that indicate that fibers taken from the duct tape across Caylee Anthony’s mouth do not match similar fibers from tape that was across the Anthony family’s gas can in their garage. This contradicts earlier reports that there was some sort of evidentiary match between tape found on Caylee’s skull and tape found at the Anthony’s home.
The Anthonys said they wanted to release this information because they say it supports what they have been saying all along – give their daughter the right to a fair trial, don’t just assume she’s guilty.”
Amy had recently purchased the roll of duct tape Casey stole from her. However, the manufacturer states it did net sell any rolls of the specific duct tape covering Caylee’s mouth and nose in 2007 or 2008.
Blink, I would like to know how soon before the trial does the prosecution have to release the info about her fingerprints being on the tape, or does the defense already know that info??? I would really like to know how the defense will handle that one.
http://www.wesh.com/news/21145778/detail.html
I didn’t see anything new or any surprises in this report about the docs Conway released??? what am I missing?
How is it the anthonys can do that!!
http://www.wesh.com/video/21160348/index.html Conway video. Gotta get back to work.
The Anthony’s were accusing someone of police and or/media misconduct in the emails of yesterday’s dump, specifically about leaking information about the GJ.
One year ago, Casey raised the same question to ASB (Scott Bolin, FBI) as the ‘just chatted’ as she awaited arraignment in the video taped holding room after release of the GJ decision, after the wild car chase to avoid the following (police) cars. Casey wanted to know something:
—————————-
“Casey: Yeah. Here’s my question.
ASB: Sure.
Casey: Um, I know this is a question that a lot of people have asked. The grand jury and all that is supposed to be secret. But it was released to the media right off the bat. My dad hadn’t even been subpoenaed and that was released. So, I just think a lot of that’s kind of funny. And the fact that they invited the media in when they were releasing the decision. My mom had received a text message from someone…
ASB: Someone in the media.
Casey: … in the media. Yeah.”
—————————————
Yesterday’s release of emails suggest that it was ‘police’ misconduct too.
(that said– I’m betting we see more about police and media misconduct about the Grand Jury, if there is more email to share on that, maybe even in Brad’s 1000 pages of docs)
(Per a statement by B Conway, saying that there are continuing searches in PR.)
VIA Scared Monkeys:
“Conway just said that the search for Caylee IS ongoing, with the focus on Puerto Rico as where she is. I just heard him on WDBO”
Have to run to an appt. soon. Just wanted to throw this out there; if Cindy and George are still searching for a living Caylee in Puerto Rico, then it is their absolute obligation to immediately release DNA results that they had independently tested, so that other missing children can be compared, especially in the light of the fact that they have designated themselves as missing children advocates. They should also immediately return the remains to authorities.
If they don’t have this evidence, then they are seriously putting their daughter’s life in jeopardy. If Casey is convicted, what kind of redemption can one expect based on the value system of people who raised her, who will go to the lengths of denying their granddaughter is dead to get a killer off.
They need to return the remains immediately!
So, does genius Conway have an excuse of why his well-respected client Spindy, siad right off the bat that “it smelled like there’s been a dead body in the damn car!”?
Orlando Sentinel is stating that the d-team has filed a motion to dismiss the murder and child abuse charges.
I still don’t understand why Conway is releasing these documents. I believe Baez & Cindy are at the core of this, but is this legal.
I wish silver were here to give us some insight into this.
These people are evil.
so SA release 1000 pages, what did BC release 1001, what was the other page a fax cover sheet?
(btw, as the Anthony’s seem to be on an a ‘leveling the playing field’ and ‘balancing the view’ theme, it’s really time that we stop giving ALL the assumed credit to Cindy, just because she’s the one who has been ‘in the media’ view. George has just as much of an equal role in things, let’s balance the view on this too, just because he’s more behind the scenes with his expertise and experience, let’s not be sexist and not give him credit where credit is due. To balance things abit from the ‘CINDY only’ view, I’m going to refer to the clients of Brad Conway, as ‘Mr. and Mrs. George Anthony’ to balance the view a little.
The point is that A’s expected some documents to be released but they didnt..Who @#$ are they to tell Prosecution what to release and when !!! These two will never get the real pictire right ! Same thing happened before when Cindy was leaving messages bossing everybody wround and telling them how to do their job and look for a LIVE Caylee only..Or when the mighty George stopped press conference in the middle ..How pathetic if Brad takes this road down to nowhere – his name will be compromise as a lowyer and person, bye-bye to his political ambissions
Timing… timing…. timing… nothing done like this Mr. and Mrs. Anthony’s lawyer’s release of the duct tape apparent inconsistency (whatever it really means) to the media as doing it today, was all about timing…
New motion in the last 2 1/2 hrs:
“Defense files motion to ditch murder, child-abuse charges against Casey Anthony”
Casey Anthony’s defense team filed specific motions today to have the two most serious charges against her removed — first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.”
(Source: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-casey-anthony-new-evidence-093009,0,1049758.story)
So– does the defense now admit that there is evidence that Casey did something to Caylee and if so, who, if not her, put the duct tape on her child’s mouth, pre- or post-mortem?
(btw, where is that Beanie Baby toy that was supposedly one of the last toys she was ever given?? )
Now motions have been filed to dismiss the charges against Casey. When will the madness stop?
http://www.wesh.com/news/21145778/detail.html
This is a battle field, guys ! They sure did it
Since we are ‘balancing things’– check the last Blink story latest comments:
–> I’ve just posted an explanation of ‘the stain’ by Dr. Makary, physician and professor of public health, Johns Hopkins University on the last thread, with source link and it’s worth a read to explain the ‘stain as from a body’ without dna present.

Brad Conway said in his press conference that the duct tape didn’t match the Anthony’s tape. Is this the same duct tape he said was NOT on Caylee’s skull when he was on LArry King?
Orlando Sent says something about there being fibers on the gas can duct tape that are not on the body duct tape. Seems like yet another deliberate misstatement of the meaning of evidence. Why on earth should we suppose that fibers would be the same on duct tape most likely used at two different times and possibly by two different people? Is there more to this than a desperate defense attempt to confuse the public as to evidence?
My two cents from the cheap seats – Conway, this new dump, all tactics to create reasonable doubt and, at the very least, to try to get a chance at a fair trial. I cannot and do not believe the State would put the death penalty on the table when they have a very solid circumstantial case unless there was more. I think her prints are on that tape somewhere and it doesn’t matter where the tape came from if her prints are on it. It stands to reason in my mind that the strongest evidence will be released as the trial date comes closer. I’ve felt this before and feel it again today…we know and have seen way too much in this case because of these Sunshine Laws. It clouds things up, I think. The basic reasons most of us feel Casey’s guilt are all still there, shining bright and they won’t go away. Sometimes too much information gets in the way of the basics, IMO. Only the Anthonys know what drives them to continue this way – I am so sorry for Caylee.
All I can say is Brad should get away from the A’s. I still have faith in the justice system, the FBI and the OCSO. JFC
http://www.wesh.com/news/21145778/detail.html
Plus two new defense motions filed:
Motion To Dismiss Murder, Abuse Charges
Motion To Preclude Death Penalty
Hmnnnnn…I’m a bit confused by this press conference. What exactly does it mean if anything at all?
CNN says George & Cindy will release the “evidence” themselves? Well, doubt America will give that much attention since the Anthony’s are NOT CREDIBLE…..What the ^%$#?????
cirque d’Orlando turns ino new state theme park of crime???? lol…

I don’t see the 1000 pages of documents Brad supposedly released today. Just the select pages he mentions in his 30+ minutes of press release– 19 pages probably cover that part.
Say, where was Mark NeJame and his client, Tim Miller this morning??????!!!!! NOWHERE in sight!! Why didn’t they burst in to interupt Mr. and Mrs. George A? Oh yeah, different standards, ethics, professionalism…
Brad was given his say for his client couple without replicating rude, obnoxious or self-serving behaviours of said clients.
How is that an ethics violation or conflict of interest? I assume he’s acting on behalf of his clients, George and Cindy Anthony.I see nothing that bars him from releasing these so-called documents.There’s NO gag order in place either.
As far as the fingerprints on the tape go, you really think there are prints? Taken and analyzed by whom? E Fountaine? The women who also destroyed the alleged heart shape residue? I have not been able to track down all the information I’m looking for regarding this…but from what I have found, E Fountaine (the FBI latent print examiner) may have been the only person that actually saw the alleged heart shape residue. Now, add these other FBI mishaps, and yes, it’s a huge problem and I realize many have said ‘experts say it happens often”…well, it doesn’t happen that often and what are the odds all the mistakes happen on the same pc of evidence.
If there are prints and it was E Fountaine that found and analyzed them…IMO, it’s a problem for the state. I’m just guessing here but if there were indeed prints found on the tape, how good are they? I suspect (if there were actually prints found) they were pretty degraded. I’m guessing that they are low point matches or partial prints. It will be up to the ‘expert’ latent print examiner to make that call….will she have any credit left? Will the jury believe her after they know about the other incidents re: the duct tape?
On a side note…Baez requested all information about the lab workers and and tests they did, I’m sure this occured after he found out what were now discovering in the evidence that was just released.
Baez asks for competancy and accuracy reports on all the lab techs and FBI staff that worked this case…it’s interesting that everyone but E Fountaine was included in the information sent to Baez, where is her report?
If Crasey isn’t found guilty for her blatant actions, this will only send an open message to any mother or dad out there thinking of inflicting harm to their child/children that it will be tolerated. SHE CANNOT BE FOUND NOT GUILTY!!

WKMG-Channel 6′s Mike DeForest said his station disputed the second example by showing Conway another FBI document that says no hair other than Caylee’s was on the duct tape.
“At that point, Brad Conway basically backed off of this statement and said he wanted to do a little bit further research,” DeForest said.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the new document didn’t rule out the link between the duct tape on Caylee and the tape at the Anthony house, Belich reported. “You’re going to have deterioration of the tape at the crime scene because it’s been sitting there for months under water,” Sheaffer said.

(source– hate to write it once again, but TVGuy Blog off the sentinel site– why is it that of MSM, this guy is covering regular stories in some ways, worth reading more than other MSM regular news!!
Wow Peggy…me thinks you know a lot of info…..curious indeedy.None of that shock and awe stuff by Baez will work ….Casey’s going to the big house period.
People are way smarter than all this defense drivel.
All the press conferences cast an air of inexperience on the part of the defense I haven’t seen in a while.
