Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: A Gruesome Anniversary Plays Out in Court

Orlando, FL– On the eve of the one year anniversary of the recovery of 34 month old Caylee Marie Anthonys remains; the defense team representing the woman charged with her murder is preparing for one of the most difficult court appearances to date.
Tomorrow, one year ago, Caylee was found while her grandparents and Team Casey dined on crab puffs and lounged pool side at the Ritz.
Among the Ritz Carlton guests, courtesy of ABC, was the Anthony Family Private Investigator, Dominic Casey.
Mr. Casey is attempting to don the “Privilege Parka” and avoid an upcoming deposition scheduled for December 16 and of course subsequent testimony at trial. The State has issued subpoenas to both George and Cindy Anthony for tomorrow’s hearing. They are looking to sit in front of the bar.
Might be advisable given the circumstances. I suggest a single malt of humility with a dignity chaser.
By his own account, George Anthony has not seen or spoken to Dominic Casey since February 10, 2009.
It is not known if perhaps Baez never took the time to explain to Mr. Casey the definition of “privilege”.
It is not that
he would get the “privilege” of schtupping his Clients wife while their baby granddaughter was missing and later found murdered in the area his Client*slash*PillowPal sent him to search a month earlier.
O yeah, I went there.
If he is stupid enough through his attorney Diana Tennis to continue the privilege party line I predict Ms. Drane Burdick will be well prepared to demonstrate her skills in verbal guillotine simply by using Dom’s own words. I am not a huge Dr. Phil fan I admit, but there is a quote from him I feel resonates for Cindy Anthony specifically:
If he will do it with ya, he will do it to ya. 100%
Cindy, when you read this, you know I come from a place of knowledge and there are some doors even you do not want opened.
Mountainous Motionous Interruptus
To Deluge is to Delude? That is the Question.
It is unclear if Ms. Lyon and the Baez jesters get paid by the word in their motions, or if they own stock in the local optometrist.
What is clear, is they have an endless supply of ink for the laser jet.
Could that be because they have not put out the benjamens for the bevy of experts we were expecting from the hearing about who is funding this shindig?
Even the dubious Dr. Lee is on record saying he does not get out of bed until the next check. *snark alert*
How do you ask for a year to prepare for a trial and not list a single expert as a witness, or lob a smidge of discovery back over the net?
Is February 1st the BIG BAEZ REVEAL? ( Insert laugh track)
Yesterday, Prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick returned fire, exposing what appears to be some seriously shoddy defense tactics to open up the files of the almost 4000 Texas Equusearch Volunteers in response to the mountains of motions filed by the defense the day before Thanksgiving.
..”Appreciate the Reciprocate not the Procrastinate or you Violate..”
Blink
Got it straight?
(editors note: see how easy that is, A to the L? One line and will free you up for those lovely, no advance blush necessary speaking engagements.)
“Dialing for Disgruntled”
It is not surprising or original to learn that Andrea Lyon and Jose Baez et al have spent weeks calling through TES search rosters to find anyone that would talk to them voluntarily. Many have. Baez and team apparently thought they hit pay-dirt with Joe Jordan and Laura Buchanan.
Joe Jordan was a volunteer on the first search in Orlando for Caylee Anthony. He also broke his agreement with TES by posting Youtube videos of the search and blogging about locations and findings. It was a serious no no and when he was outed, he began his campaign to speak negatively about Tim Miller and TES.
In the defense’s motion to modify access to TES records, Mr. Jordan claims to have kept very detailed records of his search efforts, when his team of 5–6 members were searching the alleged “exact area” where Caylee was ultimately found. For me, when someone uses the word detailed, I make the assumption that entails having more than one name of the other 5 people:
..”Among the five people with me were Danny Ibison and his dog, and a Panama City Deputy with one of his two dogs…”
Within the search form Jordan alleges he provided to TES, it would REQUIRE the names and ID’s of the individuals searching that area.
Could it be that Ibison and the others would not support Jordan’s statement because the area, exact area, where Caylee’s remains were found, was underwater on September 1st?
Speaking on the condition of anonymity exclusively to blinkoncrime.com, a source within OCSO confirms just that. Ibison maintains the site was underwater, the as- yet-unamed- publicly “deputy” will confirm there were meetings within TES to come up with a solution to use some sort of aquatic equipment to search the submerged area, but it was considered too dangerous and too small for a boat.
What motive would Mr. Jordan have to (un-surreptitiously to him) record his interview with Morty?
JJ records the audio for a spell and then gets around to calling Det. Edwards at OCSO to ostensibly get a high five.
That high five was nearly a low five behind his back from the state for a 3rd degree wiretapping felony.
Wait for it….. AND he is “materially” changing his story after apparently being schooled about what happens when you are prepared to lie in court, regardless of your agenda.
There is no “I” in perjury. Look out Baez, someone is out of there FUGUE state in time for tomorrow.
If I were a betting gal, I would say that Lyon will not lead with asking Ms. Drane Burdick where she picked out her suit or what she has in her nightstand drawer.
However, I do believe that an excerpt or 3 from Andea Lyon’s stand up impersonation of Lisa Lampanelli may end up on the record.
All that aside, I am humbled by tomorrow’s anniversary I thought I would never see. I will never forget the call in which both joy and anguish filled my throat. “We got her, it’s her.”
To the FBI, FDLE, FBI CSI, OCSO CSI, SS and OCSO, 9th Circuit Medical Examiners Office, Dr. G and SH– You know who you are– From the bottom of my heart I thank you for the commitment you showed this child.
You are her sweet voice now, backed by your collective baritone.
I am hopeful for an anti-crescendo or dimiuendo, directed to the finale.
If that does not work, then we scrap. End is the Same. Justifies the Means.

I agree with a lot of what you say, Pamela, except for the part about Caylee’s father. I believe that Casey has no idea who the father is. I think she was “getting around”, and Caylee’s daddy could be one of many many boys that she was intimate with.
How can Conway be surprised about there being 3 pieces of duct tape? There are pictures of them for petes sake. Wasn’t that listed in the autopsy report that Cindy & George didn’t want released and on the ME report? If they didn’t read the reports or Conway didn’t read them and pass the info on to G & C, whose fault is that? Not mine or your’s..I knew about it months ago….Seems like their counsel needs to get on the ball…..oh, that’s right, you get what you pay for……
By the way….Kathi Belich for President!
Boz….I’m a young grandmother..lol! (just 42 and a granmomma 3 times) WHEW!!! Affairs are normally lusty no matter how rich or popular you are. I blame the women involved more than I do Cheetah though. HomeWreckers…..that’s the word. He knew better but you can’t blame a man for trying. (just kidding!!)
***Now I’ll duck!
Hey Blink and Blink Posters, Great story and as usual awesome posts.
I rarely post here but I always read your site.
Speaking of interviewers that do not have knowledge of the case and the joint defense team’s efforts I have a question that in the grand scheme of things probably seems like small potatoes…..
During many of the very early interviews with Baez the question about Casey not reporting Caylee missing was asked and he said that “When casey tells her story everyone and I do mean everyone will understand”… per the interview the day the GJ indicted Casey.
That was before Little Caylee’s remains were found but since then that has become the question that resonates with everyone and we still have not heard anything from Baez when asked this question except for the latest “there is a very compelling reason…”
But when the question comes up during the interviews that LKBaden is present she states that “Casey did something very, very, very stupid in not reporting Caylee missing.” Baez was present during the 48 Hours interview but said notuing to the contrary.
So I would ask is Casey’s reason for not reporting Caylee missing “very very very compellingly stupid” or very very very stupidly compelling?”
Sorry have 3 threads open and my last comment was OT but was a reply to Boz………….SO SORRY!!!
Blink, I see some of the bloggers at wftv have gone with the OUC and Orange County Utilities being one and the same. Going so far as to say George was working in the same building as Kronk.
I want to attempt to set the record straight on that again. The ORLANDO Utilities Commission has very, very little to do with the ORANGE COUNTY Utilities department. Neither of their employees would ever be working in the same building.
Since I can’t get past the Slantly login (??) over there, maybe one of their bloggers will read this and set them straight. I hope.
Not surprising. I don’t visit there, and you are mentioning the reason why.
Misquotes and meritless accusations. Kronk worried on Curry Ford.
B
If everyone is having a problem with what the interviewer stated..then would it make a difference to anyone if you heard the samething out of the prosecutors mouth?
Is the mis quote about the forensic evidence linking casey to the site where caylee was found?
And if the fornsic evidence linking casey to where Caylee was found, is the tape…I don’t think the jury is going to buy it! As stated in this same thread,George is most likely the owner of the tape,it was on his gas can,and I am not aware of casey hanging posters.So there is nothing indicating that casey Knew of the tape,or else why did she have to borrow amy’s?
Sorry for the typing,using my phone and it awkward.

Blink, I hope it’s ok that I copied this short clip from Val’s site. Way back when I spent a lot of time listening for the world “HOLT” in Casey and Lee’s telephone conversation, but could never really hear it. In the link above, it’s as clear as day. I don’t know why I didn’t hear it before.
I have a question for all? your take on this?
while casey was out on bond!
cindy stated that she never discussed caylee or the situation with her.
what normal grandparent/parent can just act like nothing ever happened.
I mean this just seems to weird to me. She made chili for casey because its her favorite! (pampering)
I had another thought also: she ran padilla out of the home and said “get out of my f!ing house” or something close to that!
neither cindy nor george did anything to stop her. I hope that the Anthonys do read here!
because they need to know!! that we love caylee we have chosen to be her voice. We are like surrogate foster parents to a little girl forgotten by her family.
The Anthonys go on national TV and put on this air of being the distraught suffering grandparents. not feeling anyone nope!! they are making fools of themselves! surely they arent helping caseys cause!
When in reality their only interest is the big bucks they are getting paid.! I know that they could care less what we think!
If Rick Plasea her own brother couldnt reason with her nor her mother than I say they are lost pathetic excuses for human beings.
I still take heed on the advise my mother gives me! wether I agree is up to me none the less I respect and listen. Cindy on the other hand refuses to take heed from her mothers advise. because she has tunnel vision and only sees it her way! what ever is beneficial to her.
How can they abandon caylee!
well caylee is no longer with us/them but the money is!
IS IT ABOUT THE MONEY?? .
they show support for casey only because as long as they keep the drama going and play the grieving grandparents! the money will continue to flow and flow! into their banking account..
Neither one has worked in over a year!imagine that!!! I dont think any of us could survive that long without a job or some type of income. Yes I know she gets disability but even that is not enough to maintain their life style. How much of that is put on their daughter’s books I venture to say not much.
they have sold their soul for money to anyone who will pay!
we need to all join in and write an email to the shows that sponsor them!
ask them why they are enabling them to line their pockets when all they are doing is repeating verbatim. Hell even joy makes more sense than them and we all know she has no sense.
Jose Baez
is lining his pockets too and not alL is going into her defense come on now do we think he has her best interest at heart.
He is a sleeseball lawyer
he has lied about his experience and cases he has covered! to make himself look like the prestiges lawyer that is not even seasoned enough to know what the hell he is doing. He stumbles all over his words and all his TV appearances are verbatim!!
Casey is going to have a rude awakening when she gets sent to death row or into the main population
think she is going to throw a fit?
think she is going to curse her parents?
think she is going to curse baez
for his incompetence.???
She will grow old in prison
La vita bella!!

They are as follows.
Granted protective order for Joe Jordan

WFTV says will post docs asap : http://www.wftv.com/news/21984104/detail.html

JUST HEARD ON HLN

The judge denied request to have the fraud charges throwing out
WOHOOOOOOO
HOW COOL IS THAT!!
Judge rules on 3 motions!

Rules on 3 motions:
http://www.wesh.com/news/21984238/detail.html?treets=orl&tml=orl_break&ts=T&tmi=orl_break_1_01410112162009
http://www.wftv.com/news/21984104/detail.html
No mention of the Dominic Casey interview by the state which was to take place as of 9:30 this morning. Does the press not see the significance of DC’s information? Isn’t the fact that the state and Mn’M have been pressing him for his cooperation for the better part of 2009 with complete and utter failure (with the notable exception of Judge Rodriguez’s court where DC’s ability to lie and act befuddled, became transparent).
What’s the story here, did they meet this morning? Was Baez able to be present and if so, is DC now on the defense witness list? How did the questioning go, do they have pages upon pages of questions to be decided by the judge, or was that handled this morning by the court, and to what end?
Big question– what are the bounds of privilege laid out for the PI with his clients G and C, and PI with his client, the ‘charged person’ Casey. Would the judge decide that the CA client issue is moot, or that Baez now becomes an agent of his client, therefore he also has privilege extend somehow through this after Oct 1.
Musical chairs– has anyone stopped the music and set everyone in their right and proper chair yet?
Can someone please explain why it is the defense’s interest to seal the illegally obtained testimony of Joe J? I thought he was one of the searchers who was making claims in the defense’s interest. Does this mean it can also not be used in trial?

Judge rules on 3 motions….
WOW….when the judge said he would get out a short order….he wasn’t kidding! Those were short, sweet and to the point, huh?
I have a 23 year old and I keep trying to imagine how I would react if she were a murderer. She is unmarried, childless and has a job, so it’s hard to compare. I hope that I wouldn’t cover for her but…I think that if my grandchild whom I saw every day was unaccounted for a month, I would be very suspicious. If my daughter’s car was impounded and later I smelled a dead body in it, I would worry a lot. I think I would tell her to call the police and say there was some sort of accident. Have her say she panicked and know that she would be going to jail (which she would justly deserve). I would NEVER risk her guilt or innocence with the chance she would get LWOP or the DP. Even if Casey didn’t say it was an accident, I think she would some day be freed from jail. Her lies and Cindy’s have sealed her fate.
Judge Strickland rules on motions. Check out WFTV.com
Good afternoon all,
Not sure if anyone brought this over yet, but Judge ruled on 3 motions…
http://www.Wesh.com
He denies motions to destroy videos of jail visits. Does that mean that they will continue to do so or is that another motion?
Joan, any person visiting an inmate(not attorneys) at the OC jail have to use the Video Visitation Center west of the jail across John Young Parkway. All visits are recorded, video and audio. That has not changed and will not change.
Bear with me…. does this mean that future visits with family, friends will still be videotaped and released to the public when the media requests them — as it is now? Or is that a separate issue?
As far as taping her with her attorneys, he hasn’t ruled yet — right?
Can someone explain the “Protective Order” for Jordon? Isn’t he one of the searchers?
Chica post 477 the saying is pride goeth before a fall and can be interpreted two ways. Too much pride will bring you down or lack of pride will bring you down.
thanks Boz, just wanted to make sure.

The fate of the future jailhouse family visit tapes has not been ruled upon yet.
To add to sally’s post:
Excerpt:
Strickland also denied the defense’s motion that tapes of Anthony’s family visits be destroyed. But the judge hasn’t decided whether future tapes of any Anthony family visits might be blocked.
Sally, didn’t Baez say on Friday in the hearing, that the past videos were not the concern now– spilled milk, sort of thing? Wasn’t the ruling on family visits about the future, that all family visit videos would be destroyed vs past?
You would think that since the judge will not destroy the tapes, they will still be part of discovery. Does the media have a stake in, or the ability to file a motion for the continued release of the tapes?
Kleat,
I think NO video tapes will be destroyed, past or future, but I’m not a lawyer.
Pamela, the protective order is not for ‘Jordan’ himself, it’s for the ‘ILLEGAL’ recording that Jordan made of his conversation with the defense without the parties knowing they were being recorded. Jordan was not charged because no one wanted to charge him (defense included) and the issue was closed. But that specific recording can’t be used and that’s what the protection order was to ensure. Simple as that. Jordan didn’t use good common sense when he pulled that stunt.
If the ANthonys visit Casey, wouldn’t Strickland have to decide piecemeal whether a tape is too inflammatory and prejudicial, rather than a free pass on all visits not being released? They have no expectation of a right to privacy in a jail. The judge will not permit destruction of video, so then I wonder how he could possibly rule whole scale that none of them are released. It would set an enormous precedent for all inmates and families in FL, that’s for sure.
daylilylover post 540: You are surly not suggesting that Tiger is Caylees father are you? Look at the DNA profile there is no african american blood there only caucasian. I hope you guys are kidding on this point.
There are no future family visit videos. They haven’t visited in a year and won’t cause they don’t want to get caught making their cover-up plans a little tighter. What jerks!
Now CF news has a use for JWW in their video clips, this time she is on the Judge MacKinnon side of the childcare room in the Courthouse building. Perfect timing, JWW was there with her little boy AGAIN for a camera op and ‘MY LETTER’ promo. How does she do it? Do the news stations call her up and say, hey, want to get your and your baby’s face in front of our camera’s again? If so, we’ll be at location A, or location B, just show up and we’ll use you and the baby because you are now becoming a ‘celeb’??? Or is this all simply co-incidence, like JWW being at the woods, being at the Disney-dress-dumping, at the ‘beads-burying’…. she must be almost ‘PSYCHIC’! (not quite psychic, afterall, she was not in the video of the PI proding the woods mid-Nov)
This never ends– they are milking JWW for all she’s worth. BTW, did the clip show the children of Judge MacKinnon??? I bet she would never allow her own charges, to be used this way.
http://www.cfnews13.com/MediaPlayer2/MediaPlayer.htm?video=1214CourthouseDaycare_121420090629&cat=Local&title=Day%20Care%20Reopens
No doubt, JWW talked more extensively about her need for the daycare room as she had this so important letter to finish. (why not write it at home the weekend before?– no, she had to have need for the room in order to have excuse to be on camera AGAIN)
Lyon said that the past videos were already out there — the barn door was already opened, but they still wanted them destroyed. I’m SURE they did because if they come in during the trial, they are damaging to Casey. And I agree that there will be no more family visits until after she’s convicted and in prison and we forget all about her until she shows up on that cable show where they do a “where are they now” for prisoners episode. I’d watch that in 10 years!!!
Thanks, Sally.
WFTV has updated today’s article with a Schaeffer comment about Casey acting, Casey alleged tears:
———————————
During last Friday’s hearing, the judge indicated the defense wants him to make new laws for Casey’s benefit.
“Aren’t you asking me to reinvent the wheel?” Judge Strickland questioned.
“It’s not his job as a trial judge and he’s not gonna do it,” Sheaffer said.
Casey appeared to cry Friday … But, when it was about Caylee, … Casey’s cold, steely expression changed only after words from defense attorney Jose Baez. Even then, no tears were visible.
“Either she needs to hone her acting skills or she needs to just be herself,” Sheaffer said.
—————————-
“where they do a “where are they now” for prisoners episode.”
Sally
Is that for real? I thought they only did those programs with one hit wonder bands. lol
I think you are right boz
I don’t think JWW’s psychic. I think she’s just Forrest Gump reincarnated. Run Joy Wray Run…….. lol
Kleat, this JWW thing, whatever she is. Is it true she’s been Baker Acted 6 times in Florida. Do you’all know what it takes to be Baker Acted in Florida? I can’t for the life of me see how she can be around children if that were true.
True.
B
To Westsidehudson –
I want to say it’s on WE or Lifetime…but maybe A & E…but yes. It recaps the crime, the trial and usually interviews the inmate. My kinda show…
Dearest Blink,
In your comments to Ada #692 you state that it will not come to a trial. I know you have mentioned that before. Do you have any inside sources telling you that or is it a “gut feeling” Sorry to use those words as Casey used them.
I would love to see an end to this but also, I feel what a waste of taxpayer dollars if she is going to plea bargain. How many millions of dollare of OC taxpayers have been “A waste, a huge waste” (Sorry can’t help myself) Those dollars could have gone to help people in need. She is so narcissistic I don’t think anything now could make her plea. Plus, that would derail the gravy train and the Anthony’s would be looked upon as the huge fools they are.
Blink thanks for taking that. Boz, I’m not in FL, but I trust Blink on this one, it’s also public record somewhere I’m sure. I bet if one does a google search, there might be a Fla state site that defines the Baker Act and it’s powers.
It doesn’t take much to be Baker Acted here.
The Baker Act allows for involuntary examination (what some call emergency or involuntary commitment). It can be initiated by judges, law enforcement officials, physicians or mental health professionals. There must be evidence that the person
a) has a mental illness (as defined in the Baker Act) and
b) is a harm to self, harm to others, or self neglectful (as defined in the Baker Act).
