Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Plea Sans Adjudication In Court Today
Orlando, FL– By this afternoon, we could see Casey Marie Anthony convicted of up to 13 felony counts in the fraud trial scheduled for today at 1:30PM EST. Live Link
Over the last week, the legal wranglings, sentencing hypotheticals and LexisNexis databases where burning up the skype accounts of all the legal analysts in Or Lawn Do. I experienced it first-hand as I was in town last week:It was palpable.
According to sources speaking on the condition of anonymity to blinkoncrime.com, the plea negotiations between the State and Jose Baez, defense counsel for Casey Anthony in this matter, broke down over the amount of felonies she would agree to plead to, and the matter of adjudication. WFTV analyst Bill Schaeffer does a nice job discussing the importance from a legal perspective, here.
The afternoon face off between Linda Drane Burdick, Jeff Ashton and the defense team for Casey Anthony is expected to seek Judge Stan Strickland’s ruling on her sentencing and the issue of withholding adjudication which is the anticipated position of her defense.
Simply stated, there is no basis given the known facts of the case to argue that Casey’s actions constituted a necessity, agreement from the wronged party or victim, or any as yet unknown to us allegations such as needing cash for the nanny or kidnapping ransom.
While the defense does have a strong argument to be made that Ms. Anthony is a first time offender and Judge Strickland has already indicated that he will treat her accordingly, I have a suggestion for the State.
I submit aquiring tacky white sunglasses through fraudulent, felonies means, using said stolen property to perpetuate further fraudulent activity, followed by wearing them to your attorney’s office after you have been arrested for same, constitutes a spree. Adjudicate at will.

Hey! All of my comments went to moderation. What makes that happen? No bad language (except @ss). I’m going to see if this one goes through. Could it be the YouTube links?

Everyone’s comments go to moderation here. I think.
THE sunglasses, in the photo of Casey in Blink’s story. Already purchased from a stolen and fraudulently used check from her friend, Amy, Casey now flaunts them on her forehead for the overhead camera (Casey was very camera aware, even to her last court hearing entry with big smiley face as she looks for and directly into the lens).
And we see Casey in her tight short shirt, short shorts, ‘business accessories’ of a binder and Caylee ID type card, and those sunglasses AGAIN.
Why did Casey flaunt repeatedly, those items that Amy’s money purchased? There had to be a purpose in Casey’s cunning little mind, just as she wore the famous hoodie before the cameras, again from her felony crime spree she has now been convicted of.
How does this compute with Baez’s statements that Casey always wanted to plead guilty, and how does it jibe with Casey’s statement that she wished she had been ‘a better friend’ to Amy? Does the flaunting of the items she obtained on the felony spree against Amy, and against the Bank of America, Target, Winn Dixie, etc, mean she is sorry for the gain of those items– not likely.
There has to be a ‘casey explanation’ tied to this behaviour and flaunting of stolen goods, not accidental or necessary, Casey did not need sunglasses, she had others, Casey did not have but one top to wear in her closet, she had others, and Casey had access to the Anthony home, their food cupboards and freezer, and if the Anthony liquor cabinet was empty, she didn’t really need booze as an essential, unless an addict. Does Casey mean in her statement ‘better friend’ mean she considered herself Amy’s friend during the crime spree against Amy, just not a ‘better’ friend?
Is Casey, or was Casey, using the flaunting of the big white, noticeable glasses, and other items, to support her ‘the devil made me do it’ scenario? How can she reconcile this now? The defense must come up with a plan to explain Caseys apparent complicity in the death of her baby.
Blink, a spree yes, but this wasn’t immediately after Caylee died, not if the decomp in the Sunfire is related to the baby’s death. This high activity, seems to have been less ‘reactive’ to the act of killing her child, and more of a ‘planned’ spree and Casey had to have a little plan to commit the crime weeks, not hours, later.
WFTV says the defense missed yesterday’s deadline. Could it be that they are going off their one check to see what the court records say? Or do they know something more?
Casey Anthony’s Defense Team Misses Deadline

“ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony’s defense team missed Monday’s deadline to provide its witness list to prosecutors for the murder case.
The judge had set a February 1 deadline for the defense to provide information or witnesses to back up its claim that it has proof someone else, other than Casey, put Caylee’s body in the woods near her home last year.
The defense recently blamed prosecutors for the delay, claiming it still needs more information from the FBI.”
Where did all of our comments and conversations in response to this article go to??? I’m confused. If you’ve had a reason to censor (that’s your call), shouldn’t you publicize that you’re deleting comments?
O My.
This is going to be the last time I address this please, hit “older comments”.
B
Kleat
It seems as though Mac may really be out….Maybe the deadline is being given some slack because of this(?)
PLUS: There is a softening between the prosecutor’s office and the defense (if you noticed). Lyons is probably keeping the door open in case there is an opportunity to plea later. (if Casey and the state will agree to terms)
I think you are over analyzing some of Casey’s behaviors with the sunglasses, etc. You are trying to interpret it within ‘the norm’. Casey flaunted a lot of things, counter to reasoning in the past, but always got a ‘pass’. I think it is mental illness or a personality disorder coupled with no ramifications from bad actions in her history. She didn’t think she would ever be ‘had’.
Applying a mentally healthy person’s perspective does not work in contemplating her actions and boldness.
Blink
Maybe you need to pen a post about the site’s new interior design?
If I knew what the Hell was going on I would, lol.
B
Perhaps there is a way to keep the comments in consecutive order , even though they are on a new page? (instead of starting at “1″)
Or a way to call it a new thread?
I don’t know, I got it, and like it. It doesn’t chug along.
Sorry, you sound like you’re frustrated. Perhaps you’ve explained this before? If it bothers you to have people question why comments disappear, could you not have a link to “new comments”, or “new page”, or a simple explanation or set of instructions on how to continue reading?
Now I know to hit “older comments”. Should I have known this before you told me today? I guess I’m wondering if “every one” knows that all you have to do is hit “older comments”. Is it just me that wasn’t aware?
If I knew what the Hell was going on I would, lol.
B
LMAO!!!
Nosey
They aren’t gone. You have to hit “older comments” to go back. (as I see you figured out)
It was a way for the computer techs to stop the sluggishness. I think it was resolved without a full explanation to Blink, and maybe without complete logic or continuity for posters: a quick fix. But…It does work! So bravo to that.
Blink seemed confused, maybe at a loss, but I wouldn’t take it personally. You’ve been a good contributor.
Everyone has their days…lol
O my. WSH knows me better than most. I apolly if I seemed short, she’s right, it was fixed while I was on location and I signed on to fifteightyish posts about it.
Thanks again all
B
WSH, you are probably right, Casey did as Casey wanted to do, no worries about anyone or consequences for anything she did. I suppose it’s time for me to prescribe to the KISS theory– Keep it Simple Etc!!
Blink, the site has speeded up incredibly, back to normal. Whatever the H is going on, it’s better than in the past days!
I appreciate everyone’s patience, our site volumes raises significantly with every case. We’ll get there.
B
Blink,
I love this site!
But, I liked the old way.
TY, embrace change. Allow your cheese to lead you

No documents apparently filed with OC by yesterday. Anyone heard about the status of the fight between the defense and Jesse’s attorney’s position that his client does not need to give additional months of cell phone records, for about a year’s worth from March 2008 until well after the body was recovered. Jesse has already complied with all his cell phone records for June and July 2008, the critical time when Caylee was missing.
This is an old report, but the defense could still be casting it’s wide net to see what they can use, dirt — add water and stir = Baez’s ‘MUCK’.

(end of the video clip– about 2 min mark)
Next Monday, Anthony friend, Caylee babysitter, Anthony spokesperson on national media, goes to court on a violent battery with a deadly weapon, with Anthony attorney Brad Conway.
WHY is this Caylee babysitter not accused by the defense?? She fits the nanny scenario much closer than Kronk, Jesse, Ricardo, etc. And she has been charged and is actually going to trial, with a violence with a deadly weapon apparently involving children present in the home.
WHY is she not suspected by Cindy, Baez and Casey?

older comments top of page left side!!!!
older comments. I like blink so please dont change it back.
I LOVE IT!
Moves alot faster and when your on your cell phone’s internet its easier to scroll!
Kleat you’re so right. Casey could be babysitting Holly Gagne’s kids. Holly was on Nancy Grace supporting Casey and said that she was a great mom, not quite as good as Holly Gagne of course, because her standards are so high as we know (as she told Nancy Grace) and as she has proven with the recent charges against her of assault with a deadly weapon in front of her children. Sounds to me like she is a pathetic excuse for a mother. However she still considers Casey to be a great mom. Maybe she’s Casey Anthony’s only character witness. Hmmmm, who do you think would want to use Holly Gagne as a character witness? Not me!!!! Birds of a feather!!!

Q:
Valhall presents a good “O” theory, like yourself, but, timing is very different on the day of Caylee’s death.
Give us your opinion of the article.
I am not in a position to read and comment until much later this evening. I am a fan of Valhall’s work even in areas where we do not agree so I would wish to pay her the courtesy of having the time to focus on it. Thanks for posting it.

Blink……when are you coming back to us??
I’m here, just on location through Friday.

NoseyParker, yes, going by the defense’s positions of blame others, Gagne fits the suspect bill as much as anyone.
just mulling over the info so far in general. Once in a while I am brought back to Lee and his complete silence and lack of connection at all with Sis. There has to be something there as to his helping Casey with Caylee’s body etc. I just dont see Casey even putting tape on Caylee after death and due to decomp. That would be too hard and to Yukkie for her. I think she was murdered in the Anthony house in a fit of rage–ductaped, maybe dumped in the pool to make sure she was dead, stickered, bagged and put in the trunk. One step after the other. I dont think she even thought of the smell–reason not dumped right away. Maybe Lee helped her carry the bag to the car or helped her at the dump site. I think he is involved though because he has a deal and is so very quiet. that’s what I have been thinking about today—and wishing for the Dom Casey depo—so he can spill his beans and then it will be all over and we can let Casey be out of society for good.
Casey’s attitude of ‘What is your problem? So I can’t find my kid – just believe my B.S. – don’t come down on me now – you never did before.’
This smacks of the rules of ‘past practice’. Her bad behavior has been allowed for so long that, in her mind, it is unfair to try to force her to behave any differently now – let alone punish her for any of her bad acts.
Blink~
Is it your opinion that Lee had something to do with the dumping of Caylee’s body? Do you think that is why he is staying away from the limelight now?
No.
B
Martha – I don’t think Lee was in on any of this. He just doesn’t have the audacity. And – I felt he was really trying to find Caylee.

I posted this to the OS TV Guy blog regarding what questions you’d like answered in the CMA case. Many thought it was right on the money.
“This is how I figure it all went down the night of June 15th –
Big fight between Casey and Cindy witnessed by Caylee.
Casey grabs a crying Caylee and drags her into the bedroom.
Caylee cries for her grandmother.
Casey can’t stand it anymore.
Casey wraps little Caylee’s head in duct tape to shut her up.
Casey sits there and watches her suffocate to teach Cindy a lesson she’ll never forget.
Casey stuffs Caylee into a bag and later tosses her in the trunk of her car.
My question to Casey – How close am I to the truth ?”
Let me ask one of you Legal Eagles this….if Casey confesses to Baez about what happened, can Baez still defend her, I mean, ethically, morally, and legally? (I’m sure his concious will get to him) Or, Maybe even Dom’s Depo, or the print evidence, or what Lee knows…the mounting evidence against Casey is starting to pile up. If he tells her she needs to plead and she says no, and he knows darn well she’s guilty, can he still play the part that “the nanny did it” or what ever defense they are going with at the time of trial? I read somewhere that they may just drop the nanny story and say Casey lied about that all together and go with a brand new line. I know thats how a lot of defense lawyers get a bad rep, defending someones innocence when it’s plain as day they are guilty, even when they confess it to them or are caught red-handed and continue to lie, lie, lie. Waiting for the next available victim to be thrown under the bus.
…dont forget…
Padilla WILL go to trial
Orlando local TV news is reporting May 2011 trial date and Halloween as deadline for witness list to be turned over so depos can be done by end of Jan 2011.
This is going to be a long haul to justice.
Ok, my bad — I heard the May 2011 date on one news station at the tail end — then on another station they said that if the defense interviews everyone on the state’s witness list it will take them from now until Jan 2011, so I guess it’s all date speculation based on the two sides working out the dates per the Judge last week.
However, it is also being reported that the State is asking the Judge to withhold some evidence from the defense at this time — wonder what that is?
there is an article up on wftv and and wesh is reporting the prosecution wants to hold back evidence from the defense. Wonder what this is all about
http://www.wftv.com/news/22425689/detail.html
it also states if the defense doesn’t get their rears in gears the trial might not start til 2011! in the summer long time for that innocent woman they are defending to remain in jail! BIAZZ’S lack of work in this case is nauseating not to exclude a few others.
WFTV new info makes me wonder if Casey put the duct tape on Caylee, Casey would KNOW IT, so why is this news in discovery for the defense? The judge may be able to see whether the state is bluffing on the 104 etc or not– so why would the state need to disclose it to Casey?
“Casey Case Prosecutors Want To Withhold Info

Comment On This Story ››
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — In the case against Casey Anthony Wednesday, prosecutors revealed they want to meet with Judge Stan Strickland privately to get his permission to hold back information from the defense.
Repeatedly, the defense has asked for more information from federal investigators before moving their case forward, but it’s unclear whether that’s the evidence at issue.
Prosecutors also argued that, if the defense questions every material witness under oath, Casey’s trial won’t start before May of 2011.”
Do you think a new witness has came forward or has been discovered for the prosecution and new evidence has been provided and now needs to be evaluated? I know Florida Tax dollars are hard at work for this case. I hope I live to see the justice for Caylee.
Maybe we should all write strickland about our disgust at the way the defense is intentionaly refusing to turn over information by the deadline set by the courts.
but my reason for suggesting we write to strickland is this. I think that baez does not know what he is doing his lack of experience is only working against the prosecution to bring this case to trial in a timely manor. Where else have we seen that a trial is allowed to drag on for that many years as they are requesting. It is not fair to caylee the victim for this cherade to continue. If baez doesnt know what he is doing and perhaps he is confused and stumped as how to proceed. than he needs to take his incompetent rump roast! off this case. It has become ovious that he doesnt know what he is doing! theres no excuse for this kind of incompetence.
let’s stop this madness!
enough of cindy anthonys lies/half truths enough of her hateful attitude to everyone but the true killer. she is hated almost as much as her daughter if not more. She is putting the finishing touchs on caseys coffin everytime she opens her mouth to spew lies and venom.
I wonder if the State has “learned” something from Dominic Casey? Something that neither DC or the State want to divulge to the defense at this time. Something that might result in charges happening in the future?
OOOOOOO.
No comment
B
Sosad, it’s about the last 10% of evidence and the latent discovery not revealed so far. The defense wants it all because they really have no defense other than to methodically attack everything at trial. If Casey’s prints on on the duct tape, for example, she will know of the possibility and can tell her own lawyers. Defend that!
Dee/ west/kleat /nosey and all others here:
Do you realy think that the judge will allow this cherade to go on till 2011 I mean come on that’s bazaar! I cant deal with having to watch cindy smack that gum and drink that water!until 2011! NO NO NO!! (like in her depo’s)
Pleez!!
I can no longer drink water without thinking of her twisting the cap in anger geez. I will never buy gum again I am afraid If I am around someone smacking gum ! that I may have to reach over and smack them one. Lol just the annoying factor of it.

You may have hit on something with that comment. I think that is plausable. Wouldnt thatbe great if Dominic spilled his guts and sang like a canary!!

This is a VERY interesting theory. I am going to pull this over to Hinky meter and see if I can get Silver to comment on it, if she shows up.
I hope you don’t mind Blink, I will link back.
Not at all. I would offer the concept it could also be the state learned something about DC.
B
Blink says, “it could also be the state learned something about DC.”
Very interesting thought also! I’d sure like to know more, however I’m getting the idea that is the last thing that the State wants is for the public to find out.
This is what WESH TV is reporting on Casey Anthony case.
