Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Macaluso Out – New Discovery Released
Orlando, FL– Announced this Sunday evening, California Attorney Todd Macaluso will not be Casey Anthony’s Valentine; or her attorney.
As predicted exclusively at blinkoncrime.com, Macaluso informed Casey and her defense team that he would not be able to represent her in the murder charge against her due to entering the alternative discipline program with the California Bar Association (CBA).
However, Mr. Macaluso has been participating in the ADP for several months. In fact, he has handled other cases, several of them, in the meantime.
Macaluso, dubbed the Madoff of Law at blinkonrime.com, had pending disciplinary charges against him he neglected to inititially disclose when he submitted his pro hac vice to Judge Stan Strickland last March.
Blinkoncrime has learned from a source inside the CBA, that Macaluso reached an agreement last week with the CBA to voluntarily take a license suspension beginning in April, for an undisclosed period of time, in order to avoid a disciplinary trial on the current charges brought against him last year.
Why allow him to continue to practice law both in Cali and Florida and all of a sudden pull the plug? New Complaint.
An additional complaint was filed last year that has reached elevated status within the CBA and became the “proverbial straw” as it were. It involves Macaluso’s distribution of a settlement, and the fact that he has already admitted the offense in Oregon, where the lawsuit is being litigated currently.
Hundreds of Discovery Docs to Be Released This Morning
Announced Yesterday, the State Attorneys Office will be releasing several CD’s of new discovery after 8:30 AM EST this morning. It is expected to contain video of the special Henkel duct tape believed to be the source of the tape found on the skull of Caylee Marie Anthony, and other documents and photos.
Check back to blinkoncrime.com for updates and links to the discovery.

CASEY’S SOLITARY JAIL LIFE
Casey Anthony continues to lead a very, very solitary life in jail. She did visit with a probation officer two weeks ago and has regular meetings with attorneys, but during all of last year, and this year so far, Casey hasn’t had any personal visits or made any phone calls.
Casey’s parents claimed they avoid visits, to prevent any videotaped conversations from going public. But, at Christmas, Casey’s father did give her a $100 check
Chica I agree with you. I could not eat crab puffs while my grandchild was missing much less when they had found a childs body in my neighborhood. Unbelievable people. That poor child never had a chance. I was reading some old transcripts and a comment really bothered me today. Tony L had talked about taking Caylee to the pool and LE was interviewing people who worked in the complex to see if they remembered Casey and Caylee being there and one employee said”yes I remember her playing with dishes in the pool and yelling Watch me, Look at me.” Can’t we all remember our kids at the pool doing the same.. SO SAD
chica, that ‘unknown female dna’ is just the FBI contamination we learned about in the last doc dump.
Chica, I agree. Their reactions were and are appalling. When my dad died, I couldn’t eat for days. Now as a mom, I can’t even begin to imagine. I don’t even go there in my mind! I just can’t.
And I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that Anthony’s are making an income from their foundation no thanks to KFN. They are not poor. Not rich, but not working is a nice change to them. If there’s an opp to make $$$ off of Caylee’s death, of course they’ll take it!
These people have serious issues not to mention a family that lived outside the box of values and tradition. It was every person for themselves in that ‘unit’. Calling them a family is a farce.
I wanted to add my two cents about the theory Kleat has with the Q66 tape and possibly decomp fluid on that piece of tape. That would certainly explain the cadaver dogs hit in the backyard. Even if there was never a dead Caylee in the backyard the dogs surely would have picked up on the scent if it were on the gas can.
No problem, sweetie!
Blink:
As always spot on you are! My post 11 and Pookybear 13.
thanks.
In certain cases a Son of Sam law can be extended beyond the criminals themselves to include friends, neighbors, and family members of the lawbreaker who seek to profit by telling publishers and filmmakers of their relation to the criminal. In other cases, a person may not financially benefit from the sale of a story or any other mementos pertaining to the crime—if the criminal was convicted after the date lawmakers passed the law in the states where the crime was committed.
This is according to Wikipedia and if I read it correctly would mean C&G if Casey is convicted.
AnnetteinMN – Another 2 cents here. The cadaver dogs could have also hit where mama’s clothes were found in the backyard too if they had decompensation on them.
Wonder if Cindy washed Mama’s missing clothes too?
Ragdoll #5 – It is so disheartening to think that people are still giving them money.
Debate on the Hinky site about the Q62 Henkel Tape impression/indention and someone brought up the fact that it looks like the hook/clasp off of that @^@& Shamrock laynard. Didn’t Blink tell us that the laynard would come up again???
http://www.thehinkymeter.com/?p=1716
Yep.
Count on it.

Annette, I couldn’t agree with you more!

Awww how sad little caylee in all her innocence playing in the pool not having a clue her life would end soon at the hands of her sociopath mother and forggoten by her sociopath grandmother that is a control freak. she never had a chance for normalcy in that family of raving lunatics.
Suz
Thanks I realized it fter I posted it
Ragdoll
your so right a big farce and the most dysfunctional family I have heard of in a lonnnnng time. I truly from my heart with all honesty can say that I as a grandmother could never ever act in the same way cindy and her entourage of maniacs acted and are acting all this time. These people have serious issues that needed to be adressed along time ago and the culprit is none other than cindy herself . The woman is a sociopath that gave birth to a minature sociopath that grew up and turned into a big sociopath and a pathological liar and murderer of her own child. All blame lies with cindy anthony. IMO I mean she gave birth to two loosers. Casey the killer living in her and sponging off everyone and stealing from family and friends. living a lie to her boyfriend and friends and family!! Cindy also created Lee the laughing hyena you know full well!! that his laughter was inappropiate for the time. Not normal !!You dont sit with LE and laugh like your at a sports bar with the guys. not normal ! none of of them.
MJ
Dont expect to see greedy seedy sindy pick up caseys tab for her defense for her offense!! sindys mommy duties are only for show. again I repeat I hardly think sindy will offer any money to the defense. sindy knows that she may have to go back to work if she lets loose of any of the blood money she has made off of her grandaughters death. I hope she gets whats due her !!hey Joran Vandersloot father (paulus evil like sindy) got his right! You live evil you treat people evil you lie you obstruct! well that only means you die evil. You reap what you sowe what goes around comes around and lets not forget karma!!
yeah they will reap!!something!! caylee is safe away from them and their horrible influence and parenting/grandparenting skills.No more sindy using caylee to hurt casey no more casey killing caylee to hurt sindy. ITS OVER.

..the picture discussion from SM.

YOU SAID:
Chica – There is a huge difference between Beth Holloway and the Anthonys. The one that sticksout in my mind the most is Ms. Holloway actually looked for her daughter and she never tried to mislead people into thinking that Natalie was still alive.
MY POINT EXACTLY!!!
SINDYS EVIL AND EVIL IS AS EVIL DOES!!
Just a thought in this day and age, through dental impressions is there a capability to match impression if someone uses their teeth to tear tape instead of scissors? Can dental impressions be compared to suspects and get a match and how successful is that used in a court of law today? Does anyone know? Just a curious thought if there are no usable finger prints they just might be teeth marks and DNA on the edge of tape that matches the suspect? Would that be thrilling at trial?
CJ
I was thinking about tony lazarro telling casey that if he had any kids he did not want any girls. My thought was this! as jealous as casey was of anyone loving caylee more than her(probably stemmed from her mom loving caylee more than her) ya know sindys way of torturing casey. because she hatefully showed caylee more love to spite casey. Ok I wasnt even thinking of going there with this just happened anyways my thought was if casey was to give TL a boy ! casey would have major issues with it because of the fact that most fathers love to hang out and do things with their boys!! and casey I dont think would stand for it! potentialy (her fav word)potentialy casey would find some way to prevent that between them! even killing again to have him to herself.
CJ MJ anyone!
does that make sense? plausible?
Here’s Cindy discussing with Greta about the cadaver dogs. Be patient. Takes a minute for video to load and you have to watch 30 second commercial before video starts.

c10…..in my photbucket is a pic of Caylee in a car seat which appears to be Cindy’s vehicle. (I know very little about cars but the window is similar to the windows in Cindy’s car.) You can compare the 2 car seats in photobucket Don’t know if this answers your question or not.

Chica #20 Your theory sounds totally sensible and plausible. She is a sick chick and there is no way she would ever be #2.
#17 elljay – Gorgeous pic, but it looks like it could be the Anthony’s backyard with the bamboo.
IMO, it is very possible there are no fingerprints because Casey used gardening gloves to place Caylee at the seen…that is why no fingermarks are on the duct tape..could also be why the dogs hit in the back yard..she could of deposed of the gloves in any trash can at any time…IMO, I believe that Casey killed Caylee at home, placed her in the trunk and later covered her mouth and nose because body fluids were oozing from her mouth…as decomp set in, she began to have bad odor..Gawd, that sounds horrible to say…but I think it is close to the truth.
#19 Janice – see my post at #23. Dr. Baden addresses exactly what you are asking regarding the duct tape. Fascinating!
Is there a possibility that caylee was placed in the sandbox and covered with the lid? I mean she is realy small so its possible?
thanks seeme for those pics – yes that eddie bauer looks like the same one cindy claims was for her use, early today after re-reading stuff and reading on hinky site, i remember cindy talking(states depo?) about mama doll and car seats and i’m pretty sure she stated casey had a black and white one, she wasn’t sure of brand – if that’s true, WHERE is it – something also referenced about it being put away in the attic or something, i just hope LE checked, i’m sure they did but i still wouldn’t put it past cindy to switch seats around and swap mama – just saying – really hard to say what a mom is capable of doing when backed in corner
Ellejay~ would agree with you about the photoshop on the pic except I can’t find any other, ie the original and even Klaas said, If it was done it was very well done, and lastly it would NOT surprise me in the least that kc didn’t hang out down there at times. To put Caylee in a comfort zone that she knew well from recent times as well as years ago. I’m so willing to concede it’s a fake but with all the other things that kc has done, it just wouldn’t be a shocker.
Arkie~So hoping The Son of Sam Law could by extension bar them from profitting, fingers crossed on that and a gallon of holy water sprinkles on some charges against the A’s !
Chica~IMO kc is so narcissistic that no one man would ever be enough for her ego, even TL. After a while when she wasn’t getting the rush from lying and self made dramas or once he was tired of her blab all day and kids of either sex would be a noose around her neck . She’s seriously wacked .
A couple of things~ all the good ideas that Val and others have put forth as possibles for the indentation on the tape, no matter what the item was that was virtually stuck between Caylee and the tape, it’s more than likely been discovered in the debris near Caylee’s remains. If it’s an item associated with the car, bad for kc. If it was a barrett or zipper or something of Caylees, still bad for kc cause it looks like her teeth marks on the tape. Buhbye kc.
Wondering if the roll of tape was always in the trunk due to kc’s habitual use of the gas cans knowing her father’s prissy hissy fits about his cans. Maybe it was just within arms reach when kc left the house in a rage that night, Caylee’s crying interupting her being able to stay in character (the dutiful/college girl)while she talking and texting TL all night, she slaps the tape on…and we know the rest.
Interesting comment about the lanyard and tape. I honestly believe Casey strangled Caylee with that damned thing and that the lanyard is the murder weapon. I believe Caylee was in her car seat when it happened and that the duct tape was an after thought. If what I believe is the case there is no wonder that such a big issue was made of the lanyard and the Anthony’s did everything in their power to keep it hidden away. They certainly made sure it wasn’t in the vehicle when LE immpounded it. I do believe it was finally given to Baez but I could be wrong on that.
I just looked at that Caylee photo on SM. It was certainly photoshopped! The sun’s shining on Caylee, but it’s dark as hell in the background. That’s not a real photo.
#12 CJ
I am with you on that! To me, it’s no different than stealing. They are prying on the hearts of good decent people who’ve bought into their drama.
Regardless of what we are predicting, I think the end of this whole tragedy will still make our jaws drop. I’m also feeling hopeless that we will never know the ‘real’ truth of what Caylee endured at the hands of Casey. Casey will take that to her DP grave. Behind bars, that’s one thing she can still control and she takes pride in that. Casey comes first.
The Caylee murder topic was picked up again after quite a hiatus, by the Nancy Grace show, taking the last 15 minutes of the show. Bill Schaeffer had a small apparently pre-recorded or Skype spot and Leonard Padilla and his hat were guests too, but by a terrible internet connection.
Taking front and center was Casey herself, in the little video montage:
“COL. ERIC EDWARDS: Do you have any interest in helping us?
CASEY ANTHONY: I`ve had interest in helping law enforcement from the beginning. Unfortunately my hands were literally tied and I was put in a position where someone`s trying to trick a confession out of me.
EDWARDS: Well, I don`t want — no, don`t —
CASEY ANTHONY: And that`s not going to happen. ”
(My question to Anthony would be why the concern about being tricked into a confession? Wasn’t the defense line going to be that the kidnapper was causing threats, so that was keeping you quiet by literally tying your hands? Not the tricked confession idea, it was going to be keeping quiet and not helping LE because the baby and your whole family was threatened!! (big Casey O’Oops)
And for the Leonard Padilla, of the emails to Dominic Casey helping to dig dirt on Kronk… NG sort of called him on it by showing how he changed his story.
Quote from cnn ng transcript again:
“GRACE: Out to a special guest, joining us via Skype in Sacramento, bounty hunter Leonard Padilla.
Now it`s been time for the defense to show their hands they said somebody else did and they`ve got proof. But they haven`t come up with a single witness except the meter reader, Kronk.
LEONARD PADILLA, BOUNTY HUNTER: Well, he`s — thank Mr. Kronk the body was found and got things rolling in the direction of a trial. But right now I think the defense is about to take a deposition from one of his ex-wives, which I don`t know why. It doesn`t have anything or any bearing on Mr. Kronk finding the body. Other than they`re going to say well, she alleges that she used duct tape on her.
GRACE: Well, you said all along —
PADILLA: And therefore he might — should be investigated.
GRACE: — that Kronk found out about a tot mom confession behind bars and that`s how he knew where the body was.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)”
Could it be that Padilla’s interest in digging up stuff with Dominic Casey about Roy Kronk, was to try to show Padilla was right in the jail-daisy-chain-connection? Padilla was just self-serving, I always gave him the benefit of the WYSIWYG notion, but he’s wanting things to come out for himself.
Kleat, Are you trying to make me circle WYSIWYG in my head ALL day until I figure out what it stands for? THere’s only so much room in there!
I agree with you on LP’s motive. I think he prides himself on ‘reading’ ppl, sleuthing the backstory and all that. This really catapulted him to national recognition, it prolly was an ego boost that maybe he wanted to keep going so?? My only confusion comes from reports that he kept in touch w/ baez, why?
MJ,
WYSIWYG=What You See Is What You Get
Some of these abbrv. I have to do a Yahoo search. lol
I just can’t see how the defense can switch gears and accuse somebody else of putting the body there like Kronk after Casey was already in jail. To me she is tied into the Zanny the Nanny theory. Won’t the jury hear from all her friends, her family, Casey’s statements and interviews with the police, her own text messages all saying Caylee was with Zanny the Nanny and the fact that this nanny does not exist. The only other defense I could see her doing is if she copped it was an accident, I freaked out, and lied that she was taken by the nanny to cover it up. To me she is locked in on Zanny the Nanny story. Maybe someone with some legal skills can answer this. Even if they dispute the forsenic evidence, the jury will hear from all other witnesses about the story of the nanny taking her.
MJ,
WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get (I believe)

Dr. Baden talking about the duct tape
Thank you for your comment. If this case goes to trial we will need to watch closely to see how the prosecution presents the duct tape to prove the case we know it holds a lot of clues especially being found with the remains. In due time, there will be justice for little Caylee!
oops meant to say chicago judy
not
chicago lady

What the heck is WYSIWYG?
thanks KP NEVER MIND MJ SOLVED!!
I stand by what I said!
I dont think baez is qualified to do this case he cant seem to get it together. Lyons cannot hold his hand all the time. Truly not just because I think he is incompetent but because heproves us right time and time again.

Casey Anthony: Macaluso Off The Dream Team
I have a new view of an ‘artifact’ on the Q 62 new duct tape photo. This photo is of the ‘adhesive’ or ‘underside’ of the duct tape that was found on Caylee, not the gas can tape.
I believe that the long tan ‘stripe’ on the tape, is not a scrape, but an actual object. I will repeat the post here from what I just posted to Valhall’s latest article on the same tape where she discusses a deformation shape. I didn’t intend to play devil’s advocate on that, but this was a spin off because I took a really close look at that long thin tan strip, which has three separate sections.
Here’s my post:
Kleat said: { Feb 18, 2010 – 01:02:33 }
Hi, there’s so much to catch up on, haven’t caught up on all the comments yet, but thanks to Granmomma’s comment as I scrolled through, I’m reminded that the Q62 that I’ve flipped around to make the Henkel backwards, upside down, etc, is really a mirrored Henkel and I’m not looking at the shiny topside, but the underside, with most of the adhesive gone.
To the ’scrape’ mark– I’ve been thinking like others, that the scrape occurred on this side of the tape, being fooled by the shiny condition of the tape under that lab lighting. What I do NOT notice, is ANY SHADOWING along a scrape, which was down with enough force to apparently skip over that little ‘blip’.
BUT, is it a ’scrape’ at all? I first considered whether this was a scrape from the adhesive side, but that makes little sense unless the clear poly of the silver backing layer, can be scraped through it’s silver coating (IF coated and the colour is not integrated into the poly itself). If this happened, then something else must be showing through. But we know the level of degradation, this doesn’t seem likely.
This may be the mark may not be a ‘made mark’ (incidental or otherwise) at all.
Normally, if an instrument like a pointed brush with some fluid material is dragged over an uneven surface, in this case, the drag would have to start at the little curved ‘blip’ in Valhall’s article. The ‘pointed ends’ point to that. But look at the lower end of the long section. That squared end is abrupt, and doesn’t fit with a pointy object nor does it fit with a say a little ‘brush’ (man made or natural object).
I am thinking this is not a scrape or some discoloured liquid drawn on the surface by something.
This, I believe is a physical object stuck there, and it is NOT three objects at all, or at least was not originally three objects, but a single piece of some material. The two spaces show ‘breaks’ in that long, narrow piece of material.
We do not have a ton of info in that photograph. We have no colour chart (photo or Munsell comparison info), no lighting information, we have no comparison photos of other lighting conditions. What we do know is that there is a lab ‘pin’ mark which shows the image is close to the end of a section of tape and we know that we are only seeing about half the width of the tape. We know from the shadow along the edge of the lower edge of the tape near the two inch mark, that the long tan mark is about 1 and 1/8 to 1 and 1.4 inches from this edge.
This tan mark, if really an ‘object’ stuck onto the adhesive of the tape, could be important if it can be related to the Anthony home, maybe even a specific area of the home where the tape was prepared and/or applied. It might even relate to something that belonged to Caylee, or it might tell something about the location of the body.
I believe this could be a piece of something that has survived on the tape. It’s overall length is only about 1 and 3/8ths inches long. The largest section is about 1″ long and has a pointy end and a squared shape on the other end.
Put a microscope on that ’squared’ end. Once enlarged, that looks a lot like something organic, maybe some natural piece of vegetation, maybe a piece of paper material from something. It appears to be flattened, almost unfolded at that broken and squared off area, the next small section adjacent to it, may in fact be the same, just not in ‘unfolded’. The yellowing might be from degradation of the adhesive, but then maybe not because although rubber adhesive yellows (from it’s sulfur content I think maybe), we know from Uncle Red Green and his 3M tour, that the adhesive has additives and may contain something like chalk which would whiten it. (of course that’s not this special tape, but something needs to stabilize the adhesive to that 200 degree temperature etc).
If vegetation stuck on the adhesive, the cellulose would could survive, and if a piece of fabric, it could tie in to something of Caylee’s or the crime scene or the perpetrator. If it’s say a bit of cardboard layer or a thin strip of paper, could this relate to something in Casey’s craft closet, like the heart stickers or paper crafts (that looks possible from that unfolded end– think of the way a toilet roll unrolls and delaminates in water– not exactly like that, but you get the idea).
This could be a fine leaf section, maybe a pine needle, but not sure about that ‘folded’ squared end for something this solid, it’s thinner and more pliable looking. But then this is just a small photo– enlarging it in a simple preview program helps tremendously. To Valhall’s connector end, the tan stripe also appears to be three dimensional, by the change in colour, again could be a flattening out slightly. Also, the end of this 1/4 inch section at the curved ‘blip’, appears to be on top of that ‘blip’ curved ridge.
I think this is most likely what I suppose would be termed ‘accretion’ on this adhesive side, and it’s survived– what does it tell???
———————————-
How’s that, Blink! I think this could be big like… (insert BOC vernacular here if appropriate), when you get time, put the Q62 photo in an enlargable form and see if you agree. There is so much possibility if this is an organic object, or a non-organic fabric section, is it a fraction of what and where did it come from?
