Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: A Gruesome Anniversary Plays Out in Court
Disclaimer– exclusive
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.

please anyone, where are you watching, i’m on WFTV and its not loadin anything except that annoying David Maus commercial
this argument is reaching the point of becoming Tina Fey’s working material!
The prosecuter is not perfect…but compared to this, she’s starting to look like “miss America”, (there she is….your ideal…)
the woman is professional & perfect! even in her silence moments!lol
Pamela In Session TruTV
OMG Blink! You can hear Baez whispering to Casey! Do you have any techies who can edit to hear what their saying?
lol, M A Y B E…..
He is such a maroon.
Yeah ladies! I’m with you, I fancy the CHANEL-like chain belt too!
Pamela, I’m still watching it on WFTV. It’s working fine.
Also, loved the shot of LDB on her blackberry while AL was orating! LOL
I’m on wftv and I’m fine (though the content sounds like comedy central network)LOL
Dragonfly,
I think they are grabing a rosary….(almost sure about that sound remark, they are praying!)
thank you suzeebee
baez is whispering “luck be a lady tonight!”
Pamela,
I’m watching wftv and it’s working fine. I’m not sure what the problem is, unless up top there is a bar now allowing pop-ups that maybe you didn’t notice sitting up there? The only other thing I can tell you is go to wesh.com or you may be able to watch it on TruTv, or HLN on the actual television, not online. Although I don’t like watching those, too many people chatting throughout, not only that, commercials as well. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but by living in Texas, I’m not sure what to tell you, as those are the few things I know about being able to watch it live because I’m not local to Florida.
Don’t freak out or worry yourself too much though, because not only will you be able to watch the entire hearing later today, via many links on different sites, you aren’t missing anything other than Andrea Lyons talking…. ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. I’ve never seen anyone so long-winded in my life. I did just hear Strickland say to her that he understands what she is saying, but aren’t you asking me to reinvent the wheel? Ha. Thank God he sees thru her, not only that, it was a nice 2 second break to hear another voice besides hers. Believe me when I say she is the ONLY one talking, honestly, no one has said a word in more than 30 minutes, so if you’ve not found a link by now, it’s only her you’ve missed, and be thankful for it.
Lyons….blah,blah,blah…..enough already
Thank you for this article today, it was filled with passion and emotion, what we are all feeling, but you put it so eloquently to words. I love your site, I don’t post often but always read. Thank you for your wonderful insight.

Keefer: Every other source seems to be concerned about an adulterous celeb crashing his car (Yawn!!!)
Did you scroll down at all? Prior to todays Anthony update TWO of the first THREE posts were all about the life of Mr. Woods.
Ross, it was appropriately covered and there are 300 articles on this site and 30,000 comments. Be done with this already. Yawn is right.

I like this guy’s tutorial!
its “Legal motions for begginers” (intro in DP cases)
thanks Wendy, it might be that I’m at work and our system is interfaced nationally, so sometimes we can’t get on certain sites, like youtube. But I can get on WFTV, and just isn’t playing.
Well, sounds like I’m not missing anything too much, and I’ll rely on you guys to keep the site filled with anything important.
TY
omg. yeah, we should reserve the death penalty for the worst of the worst. If that is not who casey is, than I don’t know who is!What a waste of time on the tax payer’s dime today is. Obvi they have what they need to get death or they never would of put it back on the table!
what to say about Lyons argument?
my 6 year old is more eloquent when she wants her needs met!
Do they offer acting classes at the OC jail?
You better atart crying..it has been more than a year! A breakthrough IMO
the tape was just a caring way of understating “shut up snot head!”
..not a proof it had to do with death!
the tape was just a caring way of understating “shut up snot head!”
..not a proof it had to do with death!
wonder why casey’s crying?
Baez and Lyons are using the classic Chewbacca Defense
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_Defense
wth is the judge going make us wait all weekend?
too funny–and true, defense wants the wheel reinvented only they are so goofy it would be square. I agree that they would not have put the dp BACK on if they didnt have the evidence. I am not worried. Even though a trial would be costly, it would be worth it to see Casey trying to get out of all the lies. And she would have to be on the stand—hope she throws a fist clinching fit when the prosecutors come after her.
I thought that the Anthonys were supposed to testify about something today. Or was that some mis-information!
They were subpoena’d and would have had their attorney not stipulated before hand.
B
Looks like Cindy’s got a new “do”.
Looking forward to Judge Strickland’s rulings.
And Blink, you were right, Ashton was able to bring in one of A Lyon’s more damaging quotes. Yay for Mr. Ashton! He chose a super duper one to cite!!
Lyons arguments weak – especially that last comment about the duct tape not proving that it caused Caylee death. Loved the State
lawyers comment from Ms. Lyons own mouth that DP jurors are “stupid
bigotted killers”
I like this guy with the prosecution! His words will be played over and over today and tonight. Bet it makes Biaz and Lyons wish they had not made any motions today!
I still think when the cadavor dog’s hit on Caylee’s play house in the backyard that was the smoking gun! It’s a no brainer as to where she was before being moved later conviently when casey was in jail…..HHHHMMMMM
You know what?
her tears were more effective than her counsellours poor arguments !(she’s a better manipulater than those two (Baez & Lyon), credits should be given fairly!
Thanx Blink and crew hor helping me stay awake during Lyons podium time! YOU ALL ROCK!
Lyon asked for it, and boy did she (and Casey)finally get it.
Brilliant oral argument in response by the State on the DP Motion.
She had to have restrained Caylee in some manner– whether by physical force or via the use of chloroform–in order for the duct tape to REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS HER LITTLE MOUTH AND NOSE.
(If you think about it logically, the ONLY other option is that the killer placed the tape across her mouth and nose post-partum IN ORDER TO FAKE/STAGE a “KIDNAPPING”, which again, leads us back to CASEY as the killer)
Absolutely, all roads lead to Casey regardless. Jeff Aston snuck in a line from Ms. Lyon’s “Client Killers” speech. I agree, he was flawless today.
Nice to see you friend.
B
Blink…I just finished watching the courtroom nonsense…I have 2 questions….. No. 1…..Is it possible that the defense is trying to get the death penalty off the table for Murder Mom to cop a plea? If the defense does not win and it stay on the table……I guess this is gonna be one dog fight in court.
Question 2……would the death penalty still be allowed if Casey does the smart thing and cop a plea? ( I think not)
its just seems that the defense is realizing this is gonna be an uphill battle. Way too much evidence against Casey to even say she is innoncent…….(they know she did it)….. Wouldn’t be worth it just to hear her say IM GUILTY? And give her life without parole…..I know we would all like to see her get the needle but…….Watching her plead guilty….watching George and Cindy fall on the floor, that would be priceless……To let it go to trial and the thought of it going on and on appeal after appeal…..Maybe the Prosecuters should kinda think about taking it off, if she pleas G U I L T Y !
Your thoughts …..
1. If it is the intent of her defense to wish to plead her case, the DP does not need to be off the table for them to proffer. It is the defense’s contention among other reasons that the State is utilizing the DP to force their client to plea. As a tactic, as it were.
2. No, she will not plead guilty if the possibility of death is on the table, imo. Could she? Technically yes, but what would be the point?
Lastly, just a side note about all of us wanting to see her get the needle-
I am completely ambivalent to the outcome of the sentencing of this woman. As long as it is LWOP, the Death Penalty, or 25-to life, with pop. Don’t let the last option shock you, she won’t make 3 years, imo.
B
Notice how I bypassed the O-Ring theory?
And why is that?
Because the ONLY way for the defense to establish that theory would be to put the person who applied the tape on the stand to testify that she was freaked out by Caylee’s appearance AFTER DEATH, and that is NOT going to happen.
The seriousness of her situation is finally starting to sink in. It is, as if, for the first time today in court, she was FINALLY being properly exposed–and chastised–for what she has done.
B-
Ditto. Nice piece.
I thought he handled Lyon stating that the State is trying to “kill” her client nicely as well.
I have some additional comments. Will catch up asap.
TY Silver, we look forward to it. I agree 100% on the O theory as it relates to their client, it is only effective/possible if she is admitting to responsibility to her death regardess.
B
“The last face Caylee saw was that of her mother”. Whoa! Powerful!
Blink to what did Conway stipulate so the Ants didnt have to testify?
That they would not unilaterally invoke their version of privilege, they would do it on a question by question basis, but if I understand the difference between an Investigative Subpoena and a deposition, they just lost that ability (they never had) and so did Baez.
B
I hate it when there is something important going on and I have to work—lol. I had to keep turning the sound up and down and missed a lot.
Blink, you were right then, and Mr. Richard Hornsby ESQ was wrong! He bet on the Baez team doing the calling of the A’s and Mr. C. because he saw no subpoena courtesy copy.
I read your article late last night, and will re-read again. The Trojan horse was a moment in ‘history’ and the second reference I’ve noticed to the legend (the first being a certain wearer’s toga). The blinking portals in Casey’s wooden and presumably Irishblood, horse, isn’t lost on me. But I need more time to figure out who Achillies is, as the hero, this would not be Casey, Achillies must be still hidden inside. To what of the heel!!!
Wonderful contribution to Caylee’s struggle for justice Blink. Thank you and your behind the screen team (aka Klassend for one!).
“No proof that the duct tape or chemical restraint was used to kill Caylee”. So then according to the defense, how was it that Roy Kronk or others pulled off this murder? They reveal Casey’s involvement with their own arguments.
“The State is trying to KILL our client” rings hollow once you know it is a tactic, or a script, nothing more.
Exactly, how do you mount a “Well if she did it, then it happened this way..” or If he did then it happened this way..” Ridiculous. They are backed into their own corner holding the lit dynomite and Baez and team put her there. Wait, with help from her parents and brother.
B
Were George and Cindy (or either) in the courtroom this morning? As Mr. Ashton spoke, someone in a bright blue blouse left the room, followed by someone with a large black squarish shoulder bag.
Cindy and George left, then a few others behind them. I believe they came back in shortly thereafter. I saw the Bailiff head that direction. It would not be out of order for him to make them take their seats as they left in the middle of an open preceeding, but not sure of His Honor’s policy.
B
Blink, amazing as usual. Woke up with a heavy heart this morning just thinking back a year ago. God bless you for keeping her memory alive and crusading for justice.
At the end when Mr. Ashton was speaking very honestly, at first Casey was not crying, but did anyone notice that Baez leaned over and whispered in her ear and then the tears flowed. As soon as Mr. Ashton finished the tears were over. I have been sitting hear bawling and howling for the last half hour. How can she turn it off and on like that? To me it is inhuman.
I must state that I thought that Ms. Lyons was giving a seminar and although she is purported to be one of the best, it was really long and overkill as far as I am concerned. Mr. Ashton, was direct and too the point.
Now, we have to wait until Judge Strickland decides on the motions. What do you think?
Also, should we expect more Defense assault by the media within the next couple of days?
Silver, great to see you back here. Always enjoyed your posts and most everyone’s here.
It’s a good place to be.
Thanks Blink for the honesty…I feel like you. I mean thought of actually hearing her say “I’m GUILTY”, music to alot of ears. Justice for Caylee….you betcha. Making her describe what and how she did it…..WOW! You gotta admit, that would be sweet……25 to life no parole……..to get a GUILTY plea……I know she deserves the NEEDLE…..
And of course NO DUCT TAPE weas used to actually kill Caylee….It was used to muffle her….Please does her defense really think it WAS used to kill her…..
At one point this morning while Ms. Lyons was speaking (for a long, long time) Baez was whispering to Casey without the mic being turned off. Could only catch a couple of words, “state” etc. Does anyone know how to bring this into the foreground and eliminate background sound. Tech wizard, I am not.
Blink,
How can the defense possibly say Kronk or anybody else murdered Caylee when casey in her own word’s say’s to police two different lie’s in the beginning:
1)I dropped her off at babysitter’s.
2)Lady at park MADE me give her my daughter.
How can anyone defend her? And poor Zanita!
I was wondering if that was George leaving the hearing (when Ashton was getting pretty specific about Caylee’s remains). Hate to say it, but they’d better get used to all the descriptives regarding little Caylee. They’re going to hear a whole lot more of them at trial.
Blink and ALL that contribute to this site,
Today you all will receive a great bug hug from Caylee for all you do in seeking justice for her murder. Please keep up the great work !!
Mr Ashton and Ms Burdock, BRAVO for your composure and restraint. Please keep up the fight for Caylee, as she is your Angel.
The Anthonys could have visited Casey any number of times. They didn’t have to talk about the case. So what if the visits are being taped. They could have shown her support at any time. Unless Baez prevented it.
Nice makeover Cindy
