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.

#200 Mortimer Smith is a iinvestigator for the defense. I think his association is with Lyon. I googled Jeanene Barrett and there are about 20 sites about her being a hair extension expert. You can imagine my reaction and then I found
http://www.law.depaul.edu/centers_institutes/cjcc/death_penalty_seminar.asp
Jeanene Barrett is the Mitigation Specialist for the CJCC. Jeanene joined the CJCC in March, 2008 after having worked within the child welfare field for over eleven years. She is also a Criminal Justice adjunct faculty member at Westwood College. Jeanene received her M.A. in Social Work from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration, M.S. degree in Human Services Administration from Spertus College, and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale.
Chicago Judy: just signed on: might be redundant on my posting info BUT they are members of te “mitigation team”, aka Andrea’s special agents who are working with Casey’s mind set (snicker)….all personal comments of mine deleted, relegated to my own personal ,as the Seinfeld characters might say, “in the VAULT”!.
Comment by ChicagoJudy — January 27, 2010 @ 12:24 pm
Isn’t that Mort, the PI who interviewed Kronk’s exes? Aren’t they “team mitigation” ?
I have a question.
Is Casey saying,”Shut up, I’m excited” or is she saying “I’m sorry, I’m excited.”???? Sure looks like shut up to me.
AND I still can’t get over the constant “glare” or “stare” that Lyon’s is giving Baez when he is speaking. When he looks down..her eyes follow them down. What’s up with that. Looks like she is studying him.
I also noticed Baez when Lyon’s was speaking. Was he not happy with her? I’m wondering…is this a power struggle?
Arent those people the ones that come to prep a prisoner for a death penalty trial or situation? Like to see how the prisoner is dealing with it etc and does he or she need any pysch help, etc?

it’s all good my friend!! I totaly understand no harm done. I am cool! LOL I am good at taking constructive criticism sometimes it helps …. ok now business as usual.

It is interesting to look at KC’s visitors and the dates and what Hearings or depos were taking place at the time.
After the last powerful Hearing (on Dec. 11, 2009) where Ashton described how Caylee died …. KC had the mitigating specialist, Jeanene Barrett and the P.I. Mortimer Smith, visit KC from 2:00AM until 5:00AM, then Andrea Lyon visited from 5:00AM to 6:30AM on Dec. 12, 2009 (NO BAEZ visit!!!)
Baez did not visit KC until Dec. 17, 2009, from 8:30AM till 9:42AM.
It seems the mitigating specialist, Jeanene Barrett, visited KC 2 days in a row, one day for TEN HOURS (8:46am on the 14th till 6:20am on the 15th) on Nov. 14th to Nov 15th and the next day for 3 hours on Nov 15th (3:21AM till 6am). This was days before Kronk’s depo on Nov. 19th.
Baez, attorney Sarah Buckley, the P.I. Mortimer Smith, and Andrea Lyon all visited about the same time on Nov. 18th, from 7:30am till 9am (before Kronk’s depo on the 19th).

I still think that by the defense trying to discredit Mr. Kronk,the person who found Caylee’s remains will somehow backfire big time in the jury’s eyes.

ATTORNEY CODE OF ETHIC -GENERAL PART 1
Lawyers should honor their commitments.
Lawyers should honor and maintain the integrity of our system of justice.
Lawyers should not compromise their integrity for the sake of a client, case or cause.
Lawyers should conduct themselves in a professional manner.
Lawyers should be guided by a fundamental sense of fair play in all professional dealings
justiceforall, good point.
Is Baez for real? I dunno…… he says no plea deal for the murder case……… kinda early for that- isn’t it?
http://www.wftv.com/news/22346561/detail.html
“Five years [in jail], in our position, is extremely absurd,” Baez argued regarding the sentencing the prosecution requested with the plea. “We simply ask that she receive equal justice under the law.”
She’ll be in jail a heck of a lot longer than 5 years for murdering her daughter.
And – we simply ask that Caylee receive equal justice as well!
I saw AL looking at Baez and Casey too and it was kind of like a teacher trying to get students to remember their lines in a school play without the parents seeing.
No PLEA DEAL FOR THE MURDER CASE—-hmmmmm. I guess because they have a big reveal due the first week of February to tell us all why Csey is innocent–haha. Do they REALLY, REALLY, REALLY think they can get her off or are their personal agendas and egos just that big?
have y’all read eggtreenews? there is a funny article about Casey wondering why Baez doesnt visit her as often. dont know how to do “links”.
copy the link and paste Martha it is easy….interesting info but sure it is not true….but the answer maybe just that Baez is too busy her, trying to keep his nose clean just in case……….?
“And – we simply ask that Caylee receive equal justice as well!”
Naus…when will that happen? Is it ever going to happen, to bad Caylee didnt have another year and 7 months maybe by then lil Caylee could have been able to speak up about her abuse to the Grandparents (term used lightly) and something could have been to stop the act…
eeeewww that makes me sick to say, Caylee never stood a chance at the Hopesprings Hell…I hate that this nightmare has happened… Caylee in the least deserves a speedy trial, how come the victim doesn’t recieve the same rights as the perp involved, our GRAND US of A has it all backwards…
212 Barb
we can only hope so, from what I read on 100′s of post around the web people are just not buying this load of SH!T……….and neither am I…and Baez and his Dream Team need to recognize QUICK! read any blogs about this case from here, CNN, foxnews and down the line no one is buying this bundle of stink and never will…all the defense can do at this point is delay…
and with that, I was irratated with the whole SA comment about how this case could drag on for years, yeah duh cause the defense spends their time up in NY doing the latest and greatest cameo’s for their books and other BS tactics to avoid the inevitable GUILTY charge that will surely happen when this case goes to trial….
go ahead defense delay delay delay, Casey aint goin no where she cant get out of jail, she might not get death (who cares) but she will be found guilty and the life she once had is and will be over FOREVER…
So chew on that Baez…. Baez knows this and so does Ms. Lyon (look in their eyes, they know), so what if Casey doesn’t get death she won’t get away with this… and in the end Justice for Caylee will happen….!
Is it standard procedure for attorneys and PIs to visit their clients in jail at 2, 3, 5 a.m.? I would have thought that the jail would have some rules and regs regarding visitation and timing. Shouldn’t they be good little prisoners and sleep at night like the rest of the world? Or is this timing just another defense move for some reason that escapes me?
Are you sure that’s correct? No, definitely not.

Oh, I don’t know. I was just questioning the post upthread from reinin.
# Comment by Kleat — January 26, 2010 @ 8:17 pm
The defense does NOT need to pin this murder on him, they want to entrap him in a lie, then they can say if he lies once under oath, he can not be believed in his account of finding the body in the woods, and that leaves the door open for him lying about the body being there in August. The defense wants to make the jury believe that there is reasonable doubt that the body was in the woods before Casey was incarcerated– if they can do that, the jury would also be able to draw the same conclusion about Casey not being the killer.
They don’t have to prove anything about Kronk, except discredit him as a credible, truthful witness.
____________________________________
Yep. They don’t have to prove anything about anyone. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. All the defense has to do is just plant that one seed of reasonable doubt. I get a sick feeling just thinking about it.
Someone please xplain to me in laymans terms:
why was casey in such a hapy mood. Didnt she say to baez I am just xcited? about what. Did she think she was going home on bond? or did she say that because she was going to be on TV and wanted everyone to see her weight loss? incidentaly her mom didnt bring her a change of clothes. Her clothes were the same as in the begining. This case just gets weirder with her weird actions and her attorneys fumblings.
I am just curious what everyone thinks of that? Dee ? and everyone feel free to give your take.
##198 Justice. That is mighty interesting about the HOA sale and Dom Casey blending in with all the other traffic in an area where he was looking for “something”.
How can they (the Anthonys and their operatives) protest their innocence in any wrong doing when the whole bunch are so devious and deceptive in their methods of finding a supposedly MISSING/ALIVE child? Throw ‘em all in the hoosegow. I’m totally through with this family. They all knew what Casey did.
I suppose in some kind of pervere fairness I could say they knew, but believed that it was an accident which could never be proven and, therefore, Casey shouldn’t be held accountable.
Little Caylee wouldn’t like her mommy being accused of something that couldn’t be helped. Besides which, the whole family is racked with guilt about Caylee and share equally in the cause of Caylee’s “accident”.
How did they ‘splain away the duct tape revelations in accord with that “accident” theory?
Pffft! I don’t feel like giving them any benefit of the doubt since they’ve tried to incriminate half the population of Orlando while engaged in their obstruction and obfuscation from day____.
ChicagoJudy, Blink, Kleat, whoever knows more about how to find out about the visiting times in jail,
I copied a post from websleuths, when I was looking to find out about the mitigating specialists.
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92918&page=3
Please, someone who knows more about this stuff, please read the whole page, about the odd times of the visits, the extraordinary length of visits, are the times correct?
Also, check into where they say that someone was visiting Casey for 7 hours, the night BEFORE Caylee was found, on 12/10/08, like someone knew something was coming up.
Is it possible for someone to read the whole page and tell me if this is anything we need to know about, many of you are more knowledgeable.
I thought websleuths is supposed to be an okay site, but I don’t really know.
I thought I would be ill when Cindy Anthony leaned over the railing and gave Jose Baez big old hug, But then when George did the same thing I totally lost it. What was everybody so happy about before the hearing even started? What did they know we didn’t at that moment? Maybe Baez gave them free bus passes.

Weird, who was it?
I hope someone here knows more
but please look at the websleuths page above, it has some crazy stuff about virtual child porn, etc
does anyone know about this?
Is websleuths reputable? idk
what I found for Casey visitor log:
Jeanene visiting on 11/14/09 from 20:46:16 until 11/15/09 at 06:20:59, quite the visit!!! almost 9 at night until 6 in the morning??

12/10/08 21:44:09—12/11/08 04:39:37!!!!!!! from almost 10 pm until 4:30 am??
what day is this??? omg why were they meeting with her for so long the night before Caylee was “found” with her parents out of town, it does sound a little fishy, the earlier visits were usually 1 or 2 or 3 hours.
who has these middle of the night visits in jail, does this really happen?
There is someone named Allison LaDonna Cochran who visited Casey in jail on
3/09/09 from 21:11:45-21:55:08
3/11/09 from 11:29:37-11:33:37
There is a person named Allison L Cochran who has written an unpublished paper entitled
“Punishment For Virtual Child Pornography…It’s Just a Fantasy”
This paper will compare and contrast the differences between virtual child pornography and child erotica…
http://works.bepress.com/allison_cochran/1/
This Allison is from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University
I am now just venting, is there something that LE showed George in the beginning, pictures maybe, that caused him to upchuck… as opposed to him just thinking and worrying about the poor baby, what were the thousand pictures that we have yet to see?
I want the George that went into the
This case is insane.
Writing on the wall.

Didn’t finish that last comment,
I want the George that went into the Grand Jury hearing to come back,
He asked for the public to keep his family, especially Caylee, in their prayers. “If someone could take a moment out at 11 o’clock this morning and 11 o’clock tonight and just pray for her. That’s all I’m asking for. That’s all I can say.”
Maybe, if any of them ever think about Caylee, truly think about her, they will stop this fiasco.
You are right, George threw up because he did see the writing on the wall.
Hi, I’ve never posted here, I’m a TCDer but always check you… RE POST 233… my jaw is on the floor & it’s a quiet time on TCD!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reinin…. Justice for Caylee we pray.
Oh God. Please tell me poor little Caylee was not photographed for pornographic reasons. Am I understanding this correctly Blink? Not sure what your comment of writing on the wall means. Maybe its cause of my headache…Could you please elaborate?
I think she is building her defense by learning the ropes of such a vicious crime
B
Sorry, but I still don’t understand what you are saying, Blink.
Thanks Blink. Good to hear all print evidence is not in yet. Have I ever told you how smart I think you are? Good Work. By the way Loved your two yutes comment,made me laugh out loud. “In regards to what judge” Baez yikes, I can not believe his lack of knowledge and concern.
Ty friend.
..”O yeah. I blend.”
B
Regarding the post and comment (Blink)#
I’m not thinking clearly but would any of this be the almighty force that drives them all to deny evrything and cast the blame net very far and wide in order to deflect the black hole this would put kc in?
Might this be the big secret that the family wants hidden?
Hey! I lost a comment. Are you deleting them or am I just very sleepy? I was just saying I am baffled. How would that build her defense? Loved the two yutes. I’m a yute, too.
Sorry, not seeing it, if I missed it, let me know.

“They don’t have to prove anything about Kronk, except discredit him as a credible, truthful witness”.
My question would be how would his ‘mistruths’ be more weighty than Casey’s or for that matter, his ex wife’s?
Casey has more lies under her belt than Pinochio. So the poor slob that has an ex with not only an ax to grind but a rap sheet, has to defend some discrepancies that will obliterate his credibility. Honestly, I understand the direction they might want to go but seems like it opens that gaping wound that Casey has saddled herself with, her documented lies and her admission of such.
How could the defense even hope to use this logic with a client like her? Baez and co. have to be crazy to try this but with the money that I’m sure has been spent on hundreds of billable hours by their PI, I wouldn’t guess they would abandon it. Or maybe their pockets really are very deep and money is no object. So why would they need to declare her indigent if the State can demand cost for Kerley depo in Tn.?
Hi. I’ve never posted here before, just lurk alot. The recent conversation caught my attention & I was just wondering if this is possibly true. For Caylee’s sake, I hope not, but it would be huge for the prosecution.
Julie~ without more info or explanation (oh, Blink where are you) it really would be huge and would certainly explain a lotsa things.
Missed it, lemme know if you need my input.
B
I think the term Kronify will have a solidified meaning before this is over, and it will have something to do with fantasies and tall tale telling, and heroics. The Jill Kerley statement about the duct tape and the killing Caylee idea, is useful for pre-trial publicity spin, and his family’s accusations will go to his credibility if he hides any smallest crumb of dirt under oath.
Reinin, wow, who would have approved that November visit for Casey? And why? Had to be a defense move, or she would not have taken the visit (??).
Adams was one of the early visiting lawyers from Baez’s office, Angel Garcia was visiting her around that early date too, IIRC.
Blink, learning the ropes, as to catch an old friend in her web? If she walks, she will have had quite the education. She will be too clever next time, to get caught or make stupid mistakes as she did this time.
Or, learning the ropes, as to definition of pornography as ‘just fantasy’ vs anything harmful to a real child?
The author of the virtual pornography paper is a STUDENT in the college of law at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. It’s a term paper!

She is interested in: career ops, reference requests, consulting offers, getting back in touch.
The defense can try to use her as a witness to someway sway the jury, but the prosecution can also discredit the witness due to criminal background, possible meds, or just her condition period and see it as a vandetta. I am not too worried for Kronk. This man did the right thing and persued it to see Caylee was found I feel sorry for him to have to endure all of this. Not even a Thank You! SAD, Kinda makes us all go hmmmm should I make that call or let someone else find a little baby …Crazy! Thank You Mr. KRUNK May God Guide you thru this journey and may you prevail for Caylee!
