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

Casey-anthony-attorney-visit

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.

    Thanks for helping me bees knees– Good Lord!!!!!–what is this world coming to? The computer has brought a lot of good but has created a lot of evil too that wasnt available “back in the day”. That is what we all must say—Who speaks for the child? When you involve yourself with pornography you allow evil to come into your home and soul—my opinion. What you sow is what you reap. Thoughts not dealing with Caylee in particular but the whole porn thing. You cant even get satellite TV without having to “pay” for those porn channels—that’s not right!!!! Sorry Blink if too off topic please delete.

    “But how about the 3D images of anonymous people in sexual postions, where one figure is smaller than the other? There are no real people, no children being exploited in this situation. Pure fantasy. Yet these images are quite controversial as well.”

    People who are pedophiles will be looking for images that represent or appear as children and not short people, so you are splitting hairs.

  3. Lori says:

    This talk about porn and Caylee and all….

    jogged my memory…something I read in the discovery long ago..I believe it was during an instant message session with…Tony R?…maybe….where Casey says something about, “Oh god, Caylee’s humping her teddy bear (or pillow?)”….then puts lol…

    I remember thinking…what a strange strange thing to write about your little girl.

  4. westsidehudson says:

    Thank you Blink. I was trying to b somewhat objective, but my blood was starting to simmer to a boil.# 294

    Thank you for that, I very much respect that about you. That said, no need to be objective in that subject matter.

  5. Kleat says:

    Lori, got a source and quote? Wanna do some homework for us? I don’t remember that, but haven’t read that for a long time. NYItaliano or someone else?

  6. Kleat says:

    cynOmatic, I guess it’s a good way to lure in new ‘customers’, like getting someone to take an ‘innocent’ plunge into child porn by a seemingly innocent means, no one harmed ‘really’, and that could lead to paying sites, to paying for images, image access, but risking boredom, take things up in ‘reality’ by increasing realism, or violence, etc, then where do you go to satisfy the newly created customer pool, now accepting more and more. Maybe it is like leading from a chat room into a real meet up with a child, ‘the next step’. And there’s all the psychopaths or those who have some antisocial deviation that needs more and more intensity for ‘feeling’ anything.

    I’m all for artistic expression and freedom of speech, but not when that’s used as an ‘excuse’ for anything ‘performance or visual’ to be called art or poetry or even ‘speech’. There’s always a balance, but how do you know the creator or creators of images, and what their credibility is as an artist creating ‘art’. Art issue should not even be in the discussion of child rape, child molestation, child abuse. I think intelligent people can tell the difference in a social statement by an artist and someone hiding under that ‘disguise’ calling themselves legitimate to continue their abuses of anyone, much less children in our global societies.

  7. cyn0matic says:

    Hey Now – give me a little break.

    A couple of people asked what virtual child pornography is, and I tried to objectively explain what it is, and provide a little context about the free speech issues around it. That’s all.

    I realize that there are some strong opinions on the topic, including Blink’s very forceful stance. And that’s just fine.

  8. Kleat says:

    Thanks, Blink– just caught your definition of pediophile. Good toot sweet summary.

  9. Bees Knees says:

    But cyn0, the subject matter DEMANDS strong opinions, no? I’m an artist and have had lots of opportunities to think about the distinction between artistic freedom and child pornography. I’m also a grandma to two little girls. The issue is black & white. As already stated, depictions of any type of sexual positions involving children whether real or perceived must be considered pedophelia. There cannot be any other conclusion.

  10. westsidehudson says:

    Blink

    The only reason I brought up studies was that if it keeps a certain type of pedophile off the streets, as an alternative, it would be welcomed. Pedophiles can not be cured. Pedophiles beget pedophiles and the damage goes on and on and on. Child sexual abuse creates other types of acting out as well, whether it be damage outward or inward, there is no end to the pain that they create.

    I would prefer an aversion type of therapy, but to date, not much, if anything, works to alter this deviance.

  11. cyn0matic says:

    Bees -
    I do have strong opinions about this too. Censorship of our freedom of thought and expression is always troubling to me. Especially the sort that tries to reach into our thoughts and make them into crimes. If what Blink hopes about fantasizers comes true, most of us would be thought criminals and would be in prison for the rest of our lives.

    Cynomatic- I Edited this post. I am not one to push my opinions on others, but NEVER, repeat, NEVER will anyone say that pedophilia is managable on a site with my name on it. No way, no how.

    You can form whatever opinions about me you wish as a result. I’m ok with it.

    Pedos are an insidious and lecherous boil on humanity for which there is no cure. Take a look around this site, note the dead babies encased in cement, or maybe the ones dug out of a landfill. You seriously have to be kidding me.

    Blink – I know that you’re busy and can’t always pay attention to every post in detail, but I sincerely hope you do something with post #311…as in DELETE.

    It is totally out of line, distasteful, inappropriate, crass, and makes a mockery out of the seriousness of what is being discussed here.

    BTW, I don’t post often but I do read here on a daily basis and very much enjoy your blog.

    Thank You and Thank You and Thank You.

  13. Kleat says:

    Annie, maybe someone should investigate what may be underlying that behaviour, that is, before something happens that causes the child to be blamed for some adult’s ‘interest’. I’ve heard of a case in which an adult male blamed a toddler for his abuse (some sort of blame for teasing him!)– what causes the learned behaviour to be expressed by a child who can’t begin to comprehend, what has happened to this child and by whom, to bring out this behaviour.

  15. Joan says:

    Klaet – in response to your comment in #314 …when I was in grammar school (ok -50 years ago!!) – one of my girlfriends (age 10) was fondled by her “uncle” …she was so embarrassed she was afraid to tell any family member – but reached out to several of her classmates to ask if anyone of us had ever had this happen to them. Two of us told her she had to tell her mother. She did – the mother confronted the wife of the “uncle” – and THEY BLAMED THE 10-YR-OLD. How sick is that?? A family rift ensued …the two sides didn’t speak to each other for 30 years ….But after the “uncle” died ..and his wife was all alone and dying of cancer …Guess who took care of her??? My girlfriend!! They say “God don’t like ugly” – but I believe with all of my heart that my girlfriend more than showed her beauty for God to see in taking care of the woman who ridiculed her suffering. Child porn/child abuse is the worst of crimes. These people are sick but need to be isolated from any present or future contact with children. For these people -there is NO cure. I have no idea what Caylee Anthony was forced to endure – not only in life but in death. God bless her and give her peace And I so wonder if the book, The Lovely Bones, is more truth than poetry.

  16. Joan says:

    Blink!!! Just saw Comment #232 …how can there be an “interview” with Jeanine Barrett and Casey in jail that goes from 8:46 pm (on 11/14/2009) through 6:20 am (on 11/15/2009)??? How is this allowed?? Aren’t there hours of operation?? At most I could understand this if she was Legal Counsel – but it’s listed as “interview”…What ANOTHER book????????? How can LE allow someone to stay that long?? Wouldn’t non-Legal Counsel be held to visitation during normal business hours??

  17. Out of Order says:

    Blink, maybe I’m just not seeing it, but I have looked all over your site for an email addy that I can use to ask/tell you something that I would rather not post here. I did have outpatient surgery yesterday so maybe I’m still looped out from the drugs and I missed it? lol

    Please LMK.

  18. Blink says:

    I am going to request that we cease the child porn debate and discussion altogether.

    I have been informed by a professional who works in this area that the simple discussion on here can be fodder for some.

    I trust that is as specific as I need to be and apologize that my blog does not have a pedo lock out function.

  19. Kathy says:

    Blink, thank you for always taking a strong stand for our children.

  20. dee says:

    HELP!
    Blink, chica, Kleat, WHS, boz anyone tell me what we are talking about here I have re-read the post over and over and for the life of me an lost?

    Don’t bother darlin’. Make up one, the other one was derailed by a topic I did not want discussed here any longer. Nothing the brilliant and lovely contributors here did, except be their normal polite and tolerant selves.

    A suggestion if I may: Do we think Dominic Casey has already been interviewed by the state, or is he seeking a deal?
    B

  21. dee says:

    thanks Blink cause I was feeling the same way I wasn’t gettin it, I don’t want to even go there unless for FACT that it is brought out in court, speculation is not my thing honesty and truth is.

    I would hope that Dom Casey has, waiting patiently, I would love to be the fly on the wall during that one. He knows more then we can even imagine, IMO that is why Baez is fighting (like he has been straving for weeks and there is one cracker left in the box) to protect whatever DC knows…IMO he will loose this…I pray I am right…!

  22. deedee says:

    My first time posting…but an avid reader. Concerning DC, I believe he is seeking a deal. If he is offered a deal, does he have to spill the beans???

  23. martha says:

    I was thinking about Dominic Casey and hadnt heard anything about a deposition or about a plea lately either. If the trial is put off for a longer time, when do you guys think will hear from Mr Dominic. With all his involvement with the Anthony’s, seems to me he is VERY important to the case. If he has already by interviewed by the state, why didnt we get that through the Sunshine law? Thank everyone here for the very insiteful posts. I learn so much and everyday is a OMG moment here.

  24. dee says:

    I would be ok if DC got a deal, I could sleep knowing that, the A’s not so much…I wish that puppet would start talking….

  25. martha says:

    i think if DC got a deal the only reason he would get one would be to spill the beans, which I think he would be very prepared to do. From Blink’s articles, he doesnt seem the type to be very loyal unless it was to his benefit—just waiting for some more depositions or document dumps to come out. But we all know the outcome of this regardless of what the defense does. And thank goodness we have Judge Strickland!!!!!! I dont know if I said this here but I liked the way he handled Casey’s “apology”. He stuck to the facts and didnt let her engage him in Casey speak—-no absolutelys and on and on. Just asked if she had be coerced, or on drugs or alcohol, etc.

  26. Mom3.0 says:

    Every day we prove again again hat we need you Blink. Please get well soon.

    Thanks for working overtime on some many things and for keeping this site safe for the victims and all those who care.

    I do think D.Casey is seeking a plea deal. I am wondering about Mallory’s depo. Do you think the state will release it early?

  27. lou says:

    Are we talking about Sherri Lewis ( Cindy ) and Lambchop ( Dominic )

  28. Kleat says:

    Do we think Dom Casey has got a deal or an interview? Let’s ask BLINK what she thinks!!!

    I’m going to say that if Com Dasey got one or other by now, or both, Blink knows it. ;)

  29. ChicagoJudy says:

    I know that Monday is the deadline that Judge Strickland gave the defense to come up with their “proof” that Caylee’s body was put in the woods/swamp area later than the state is claiming.

    Is there any kind of hearing for this? Or is it all just done between the parties, and we won’t know about if/when it all happens? I’m in the dark. tia

  30. Kleat says:

    But if I were to take a guess, based on the question posed and its timing, it would be BOTH.

    “I know that Monday is the deadline that Judge Strickland gave the defense to come up with their “proof” that Caylee’s body was put in the woods/swamp area later than the state is claiming.”

    Chi Town Judy proof there is no proof, if there is a hearing they will loose big time…………proof what a joke, weeds growing through this lil babies bones no way no how is there any proof.

  32. dee says:

    another loose loose for the defense, the images of DC at the scene are a joke to say the least….and nothing and I mean nothing can be proven to show that this lovely lil baby was placed there after NOV

    Defense loses one more of their motions to not video the jail visits:

    01/26/2010 Order Denying
    Without Prejudice, Def’s Motion for Protective Order Prohibiting Orange County Jail from Videotaping Attorney Visits

  35. Kleat says:

    Anyone know what specific topics are covered in ‘Court Motions’ filed with the court ‘on Various Motions’? I suspect this is a pre-Feb 1st recap of all the motions the defense has requested that the court order the state to provide more discovery including non-discovery documents from the FBI and Oakridge to call their own work into question.

    01/25/2010 Court Minutes on Various Motions

    Example– (of course, the OC Clerk has made a typo, little Caylee was alive and hopefully well, in Jan of 2008– that must mean 2009, so this motion, by ‘incorrect date’, ends up on the top of the list of events and hearings)

    “01/27/2008 Motion to Compel
    Motion to Compel DNA Bench Notes/Reports and Standards Filed”

    This motion was raised again on the 25th of this month, where Jeff Ashton assured the judge that the state can do nothing to compel Oakridge Labs to comply with what the defense is requesting, and the judge agrees, he can’t do anything until Oakridge gets its own lawyers involved and the defense and Oakridge argue before him.

    Baez again, blames the wrong people.

    Say– did anyone see, as Baez argued for the judge to order the state to give Oakridge, Lyon’s headscratching moment? Baez stumbles and bumbles, then comments about the defense having the rug pulled out from under them, she scratches and scratches, looks away from Baez and writes some notes. Was Lyon content to allow Baez the podium in the fraud case because she wanted to see how he handled things in a situation where he could not make things any worse than they already were? (the judge got his two cents in, suggesting Baez and Lyon take a moment to speak to each other at one point, not once, but twice)

  36. ada says:

    #304 Westsidehudson, I am post #294. I am so sorry if I offended you and if I implied anything other than revulsion by any of this. It was surely not my intent. My comment was more as a reaction to George and voimting. Please forgive me.

  37. danaNalabama says:

    Forgive my ignorance here please, but what happens to the defense team Feb 1 if they are unable to produce proof of their allegation that Caylee’s remains were dumped by a “stranger”?

  38. martha says:

    haha lou shari lewis and lambchop–i like that and have got a visual. Since there Is no evidence, then wonder how it will go down on Monday. Has Mallory done a deposition. I know I kind of forget about her and Lee since they are so low profile. But they were both in and out of the house at the time Miss Casey was arrested. Lots to be said on what they did to help I imagine. Didnt Judge Strickland want the defense to come to him with the “proof”? So I am thinking something official.

  39. martha says:

    Does Dominic have a deal and an interview, blink. Hope you are feeling better, didnt know you were sick.

    Thanks Arden!
    The postings where Kronk’s ex-wife Crystal Sparks is PRAISING Kronk and trashing Leonard P are on Scared Monkeys, dated December 2008. The emails where Crystal Sparks is later sucking up to Leonard P and trying to help him get dirt on Roy from Roy’s sister and family are in Discovery docs, dated February 2009.

    The PRAISING posts of Kronk’s “brother-in-law”, Mike are on Scared Monkeys and also copied in Discovery docs (link below) dated December 2008. Mike’s wife totally trashes Kronk in a “statement” to Dominic Casey, dated April 4, 2009, in Discovery docs.

    on December 19th and 21st, 2008 (just days after Caylee’s remains are found) Crystal Sparks (Kronk’s ex wife) is praising Kronk on the SM blog .

    on December 21, 2008 – Crystal Sparks is bad mouthing Leonard P calling Leonard P “overpaid Bounty Hunter – Television actor, Padilla” ……

    on December 20, 2008, Mike, who is Kronk’s brother-in-law (without marriage) from Kronk’s jail employee girlfriend, Sandy, who died in 2007, and Mike is praising Kronk.

    then on February 23, 2009 – Crystal is bad mouthing Roy to Leonard P and trying to help dig up all the dirt she can and provide it to Leonard P (while Leonard P passed the info to his sidekick Tracy Mc L, and Tracy passed it to Cindy A, who passed it to Dominic C and Baez). Crystal tried to get Roy’s sister, Susan, to talk to LP to add to the dirt pile.

    Unbelievable! Is there anything I can do to help? It appears words got back to
    him (Kronk) that you spoke to us.
    But, with that said, I told Susan (Kronk’s sister) I’d only spoken
    to you once and she will not know anything different (before
    or future comms) …
    In other words, you and I speak on a confidential level – I am determined to
    see this thing through too.
    I saw on Nancy G. about the PI (Anthony’s) group that supposedly went out
    to the recovery area 3 times before Roy did …. What gives ????
    There is more info out there Lou, don’t give up. So you recommend I just sit tight and stay
    in the game? I can do that … tell what I can do to help?

    Something has been bothering me for a long time. The comment by Cindy (“I don’t want to lose another one”) Then there was the comment by Lee (“Is this like the last time”).Could it be that Casey had a baby before and did something to it . No one ever knew about it because Cindy helped her. I may be way off on this but I finally decided to run this by you guys to see what you think? I read your blog almost every day but until now have never asked any questions. I kept hoping someone would address this.

  45. Kleat says:

    Nauseated, re: the video you are looking for, try YouTube and put keywords Caylee Breakfast. You will find it.

    RE Chrystal’s switchover– so it was her believing the defense statements about searches in THAT woods area before Kronk that caused her to begin her task against Roy? Well, Crystal, that is one and the same issue that the defense has for the past year, refused to support with names– there are two in discovery now, but there’s Joy Wray too– BETTER YET– do your own real ‘fact’ investigation. A Chief in the US forces should be able to do objective fact-finding research, but probably not if you are already in an anti-ex mindset.

    Monday, Feb 01, is the date given to supply the names of those who claim to have proof that no body was there in the woods prior to October 14 when Casey was incarcerated. They made the claims, but have yet to provide support.

    Then, Crystal, go to http://www.thehinkymeter, and check out the well researched, objective reports on waterlevels in the woods at the time of those searches, check out the related stories there, and of course, Blinks article re: the photos of those same woods to show why there was no TES search.

    Objective– look it up in the dictionary, Crystal.

  48. Nauseated says:

    So I watched the ‘I Kill’ video. What was that all about? Why would Casey teach her baby to say that? It’s also odd that there is no interaction between them. It is a very strange video clip. Why would she even keep it for anyone else to see?

    I remember taking videos and there was so much of me prompting ‘goo goo ga ga , say momma, say dada’ and making faces to get a reaction. After watching it a few times I thought – what am I a clown?

  49. Mom3.0 says:

    domain3,
    I have often times wondered about this too. I am not sure how to interpret 90% of what comes out of the Anthony’s mouth. For the sake of any other children I hope not. But Alas, Who knows? Casey seemed to keep the possible pregnancy from Brandon a secret also……or is this all just lies Casey told and they believed?

  50. MsEnscene says:

    I don’t know. I thought Cindy meant that she had “lost one” [Caylee] and she didn’t want “to lose another one [Casey]”

    That little aside from the Missus A. was one of her statements that made me believe she knew what had happened to Caylee. Maybe not all the particulars, but just in general. Also, with that statement, she was determined that Casey was not going to be punished for whatever had happened to Caylee.

    Lee’s question “Is this like the other time” made me suspicious that Caylee had been taken by Casey and kept away from Cindy once before, undoubtedly with some wild Casey story attached to the incident. Or perhaps Caylee had been truly lost before a result of Casey’s negligence.
