Orlando, FL– Yesterday, the defense team of Jose Baez, J. Cheney Mason and Andrea Lyon filed a motion to strike the Statement of Particulars including aggravating factors claiming that is does not list the States “facts” to support them. Team Baez is claiming that “may rely” does not meet the burden of the Steele citation used to compel the order from Judge Perry in the last hearing.
In essence they would like state to kindly hand over their theories and work product, if you please-
Also filed by the defense, this time including Linda Kenney Baden, is a 49 page motion with exhibits for discovery from the Oak Ridge Laboratory otherwise known as The Body Farm.
It is within this motion, we learn something very new, and very critical to this case.
THERE IS A FRAGMENT OF A LATENT PRINT ON THE EXTERIOR TRUNK OF CASEY’S CAR.
According to Baden’s supplemental request, there are 18 latent fingerprint lifts, 8 areas of latent lifts developed via dye stain and one fragmented lift from the trunk. Wonder who they will belong to?
This morning, the State is releasing an additional 500 pages of discovery in the murder case against Casey Anthony.
It will be posted as it is received, check back to blinkoncrime.com for updates.

Um – why would a fingerprint on the exterior trunk of Casey’s car be a big deal? It was her car!?! She would have reason to be in the trunk.
Tell me why this matters.
I did not say it was Casey’s.
B
George or Lee, is that it Blink?
Has not been disclosed yet, maybe this am?
B
I still do not understand. An exterior fingerprint could be anyone’s…even someone that towed the car. Caylee’s fingerprint could even be there & would not mean anything.
Or it could be someone’s that has not been identified, and why would there only be one fragmented print when others have admitted to being in the trunk?
B
The trunk was opened at the tow yard, George and the Johnson’s worker were looking for the source of the smell, the worker noticed the garbage and (IIRC) grabbed it and said to George that this was the source of your smell and tossed it into the dumpster.
People tend to touch things they are paying attention to, opening and closing a trunk usually means more than a frag touch.
Are we going to get the video surveillance from Amscot, or do they not keep anything for long enough?
Dunno Kleat, I doubt they keep it that long.
B
Is the Pontiac Sunfire a front wheel drive car?
Shouldn’t Cindy’s prints be on the trunk since she opened it to clean away the evidence left behind by the murder.
OMG, it’s Kronks fingerprint, oops, no it’s
Amys, or is it Ricardo’s, Tony’s, Jessie’s, George Marie, Cindy Marie, Lee Marie, Henry Lee, zee black man at the cluub, or that awful person who put the body in the trunk at the tow yard? It could not be CASEY MARIE the MOTY. (Jesus, I have a headache now).
…DC…??
Hmmmm….Dr. Lee?
Very thought provoking Blink- thanks for pointing out the bit on the print-
What scares me about this case is, the jury will never get to know half of the things that those following this case know, hard to believe, but not everyone follows Blink- LOL By the time this gets to trial, if the defense has done its job, they MAy have enough for reasonable doubt- especially if they can successfully drop the zanny angle-
I have put all my faith in the prosecution team’s ability to put all the puzzle pieces together- they know what they are doing, and have to have much more than we are privy to, I hope they are allowed to present all the pieces of the puzzle.
Nice to see have a new piece on Caylee Blink- Nice work!
a single fragment makes no sense, if it’s the only thing on the trunk. Just no sense that the trunk is cleaned but for a fragment. Unless someone cleaned the outside of the trunk, not to get Casey’s (owner/driver) fingerprints off, but to clean off other material and missed a tiny section (who in the Anthony family would likely miss a section of car exterior while cleaning it, under normal circumstances– not detail George). Casey also could have wiped the trunk– even gone through a car wash, maybe the same one she used for cleaning Tony’s Jeep she used, before her trip to pick him up at the airport.
This is exactly the point. Sometimes it is what is missing that can be more important than what is there.
Now, I don’t know if it meets the standard of verification purposes, but I have to assume it does or it would not be a true result.
B
LOL @ Nora! My sentiments too.
I found this quote at the hinky. The comment was left before March 2009 (as per the OCSO supplement) but interestingly enough, someone is wondering about those latents too.

Yes, that exchange about forensic information that has not been released has the forums buzzing. Linda Drane-Burdick said, “90% or more of the forensic information that is going to be disclosed to the defense has already been disclosed.” Ashton said there were some “latent print related items” that he could not recall seeing in the discovery. Baez said there were some “latent evidence issues” that had not been turned over to the defense.
Is there any chance the remaining latent print information pertains to the items picked up at Cindy’s request on August 7, 2008 (the DVD cases, hair straightener, etc. that had supposedly been handled by Zanny)? I know the defense listed those items among many others in a January 2009 motion (motion heard in March) and then argued five months later at an August 2009 hearing that they still had not received any of the information they had asked for in January. I’ve lost track, but I have a vague recollection that there was some question regarding the location of the lab that processed those prints (FBI or a Florida crime lab).
They were processed at OCSO.
Well, there is an error in the report I can see that already. It does not identify the left from the pump on the list of “areas” I think it is mislabeled Transporter cover or transposed in some way.
Regardless, it tells us that there are other prints we do not know about.
B
When will the corresponding reports be released? There were more releases of discovery to the defense than just one, since the last doc dump and there seem to be more reports to come.
Blink, you say “I did not say it was Casey’s”, and now I am confused because it leads me to believe there is an accompice here. You do not possibly think she is innocent..? What does this ne info mean to you? Help put me on the right track
Starsky, there is a partial latent on the back of her trunk, we do not know yet who it belongs to, I am not steering anyone anywhere but to the attention of it’s existance.
B
Is the print Caylees???
Ooooops! Sorry ~ print was on the exterior, I misread and thought it was the interior, which would be a different matter altogether!
I remember way back in an earlier doc dunp a picture of a finger print with no explanation. Could this be the same print?
I think you might be referring to an image of a check with a fingerprint on it.

So the pump is mislabeled? What about the dvd’s? Also, if there are latent prints, does the state have to present this to the defense before trail?
I can’t help but feel encouraged that there is something solid but unofficial is that makes any sense.
No the picture was clearly just one finger print on a page. No writing or check or name or anything just the finger print. Sorry I can’t remember which doc dump it was but it was one of the first ones I remember wondering why they would send it to the defense with no explanation.
The breached package– this looks similar to the box that held the baby car seat. I recall that the car seat box was ‘dented’, maybe it’s the same damage. I haven’t looked for those earlier box photos in discovery, but it will be with the car seat als photos IIRC.
Losing the car seat into evidence would be huge for Casey. What else of that size and shape sent via ‘courier’? Maybe the bagged vacuums, or the pesticide spray pump units, etc were forwarded by courier. If you send via FedEx, expect damage, or UPS!!

Page 6 of 89: latent prints lifted off of A-5 & A-6 Transporter ext DVD packaging
SYNOPSIS:
The latent prints are identified with Casey Anthony.
=======================================================================
B, I ‘scanned’ through this doc. That’s all I could find. The rest is more associated with Mr. Kronk and the snake.
I’ll keep checking as time allows =)
Ragdoll my good lady, I posted the link back to you some time ago.
You may have missed it in between- I feel like a lech!
Thank you again and don’t throw a shoe at me, it is Friday.
B
No worries B. Sorry I missed your link.
Happy Friday all! xo
The latent print is interesting but I am real curious about the vegetation and soil samples taken from underneath KC’s car. If the samples match the vegetation in the area where Caylee’s remains were found . . . that would be big. Why would she have vegetation on the under frame of her car?
Also, I think there was a mention of tire tracks in the files dumped today. Anyone recall this? Was the track from the recovery area or was it just samples taken from KC’s car for “just in case” identity purposes?
I can wait until the analysis is released on ALL the forensic evidence.
Okay, what did I miss? What are Casey’s prints on? What is A-5 & A-6?
Ooops . . . I meant I CAN’T wait
Blink,
What do you make of the hair with the grave or death wax on it.. Could it possibly be Casey’s.. I couldn’t find the results but it is mentioned a couple of times.. Also Casey’s clothes that had the stains under the als.. I saw notes for peroxide but was wondering could it possibly be decomp?

Hi Charlotte.
The link regarding these items can be found on the previous thread
(essentially, Blink was looking for an OSCO supplement regarding the latent print analysis on some dvd’s, a flat iron, air mattress and pump).
I had asked this before but no one has really said this in a while and maybe i have missed Blink’s answer—but do you think they will still plea. Everyone seems to talk like a trial is a definite. Sorry, but for some reason this is big for me personally.
I dont think there is the slightest chance the jury will get past the mountain of evidence they have against Casey.I hope they dont give all away to Baez (of course he wants from A through Z, and whines if he doesnt get it.
Didn’t the police recover a bag of garbage that was left in the car? I seem to remember in that bag there were paper towels with (possibly) body decomp fluids. If that is the case there could be relevant fingerprints in it.
that was a total waste of time to read..there is nothing new and tell us absolutly nothing….
Was that a slam on me or the discovery,?
B
Blink
I dont think anyone thinks of you in that way I think it was a disappointment in recovery!!
not on our blink we luv ya
Martha
I recall asking blink the same question not long ago !!
her answer than I think if I am correct was that its a 50/50 right now!!
RIGHT BLINK?
yes’m
B
There are important things in the docs today-WFTV reported that Cindy told FBI that Caylee slept on a blowup bed when with Zanny, in the docs FBI tested not only the bed but Caylee’s diaper bag-NO DNA from “the Nanny” she would have had to touch these items. Of course LE and FBI already knew there was not a Nanny but this proves it!
There was no DNA from anyone, but there are prints on the pump.
B
I guess we did not get ‘whose’ prints on the pump?
Ragdoll, thanks for the reminder. We’re always so glum about the recent doc dumps because we haven’t heard anything new for awhile but Linda Drane-Burdick did say “90% or more of the forensic information that is going to be disclosed to the defense has already been disclosed.” Chances are, that remaining 10% holds the most damning information. I really believe it does. The prosecution can withhold some evidence from the defense as long as it’s not something that the defense could have used to help their client. I feel very confident therein lies the “smoking gun” we all crave.
And thanks for the new post, Blink. Very interesting. I can’t wait to find out whose prints they are!
Oh wow I wonder if the prints on the pump are from casey or maybe one of her many boyfriends?

Blink, but since Casey is still at this point sticking to the Nanny story, wouldn’t an unidentified person’s Dna be on the diaper bag etc. other than family friends? Doesn’t this further prove by FBI there is and was no Zanny? Thanks.

just thought I would post this for all of us who love the babies….
BK-
Neither the prosecution nor the defense can withhold evidence.
Blink-
I haven’t been able to read any of the discovery but have been reading the comments here-
Not sure why this is considered big news–I guess defense could
argue that it’s Zanny’s or whoever else is their target–bottom line is neither side can determine WHEN the print was put there so
couldn’t the state just argue (if prints remain unknown)that the print is old?
TIA
Peggy
Maybe the print is from Caylee’s dad. %\
#29 Martha
I think the reason you haven’t gotten a response is because no one knows for sure. It seemed inevitable at one point. Personally, I thought they would have by now. Maybe the defense is just delaying the inevitable…..more bucks for Baez???? Part of me thinks he’s stretching this as far as he can.
I think it’s going to trial. JMHO
#40 Peggy
As Blink would say, keep the faith!

Bees…I’m with you! I think there is something they’re withholding regarding latents. I think there are prints but by process of elimination, they can rule who they don’t belong to. HUGE GUESSTIMATE on my part. I’m certain they won’t find nanny prints.
Bees, I am certain the prosecution has most of its ducks in a row. The big question, imo, is DP or LWOP? Other than that, her goose is cooked, even with circumstantional evidence.
BTW…..as I was scanning through the docs, there was a pregnancy test found in the OSCO property forms along with other evidence (mostly plastic). WHOA! Who’s is it? I’m wondering if Casey was concerned with another unplanned pregnancy? Obviously, nothing came of it but it could still be a motive….again, imo.
found in woods, dont think it belongs to Casey
B
Blink, Kleat….anyone…what makes me so impatient is being in this from the start with everyone, reading every piece of discovery released. Talking and having people rationalize things for me so that I fully understand, when, oh when, will the SAO release just the tiniest tidbit of evidence that directly points to Casey as doing this. I know, I know, there is a lot of evidence released but I am so wishing for that one piece that can not be explained away, the one piece that says she was there, does this make sense?
Ok, I’m at a loss. I see nothing about prints in the 49 page motion. I see nothing about prints in the 598 page release. I only see what Ragdoll pointed out in the 89 page link, which says nothing about an unidentifed partial print.
No new comments for the last five hours.
Am I missing something?
There was no DNA from anyone, but there are prints on the pump.
B
This is sort of important for the defense to know before depos begin for any person associated with those prints, other than their client. Makes sense if Casey stayed over with a boy, he would help blow up the bed for the little guest. Caylee slept in Ricardo’s bed with Casey, but did they at least have the air mattress for Caylee to sleep in after she settled in to sleep? If so, Rico could have helped with the mattress. And they are scheduled to do Rico’s depo.
Well, I can’t exactly say I “enjoy” reading the Caylee news, as it has at the heart of it the sad story of the death of Caylee… however, it has been an interesting study in human behavior. I can only read here at Blink’s and at Val’s, because on all the other sites, everyone bashes each other to bits. Ugh. THAT is a lesson in behavior I never wanted to learn. Anyway, with Val taking a break, I guess I am going to have to go back to my former life somewhat, if I can remember what that was. Blink, please don’t abandon us or I will have to be put away for addiction withdrawal.
Your safe.

If the outside of the trunk was cleaned on July 15th while in the grandparents possession, then they just cleaned away the best evidence that would have pointed to someone putting a body (any body) in the trunk, and then removing it, during the time it was in Johnson’s Tow lot. Cindy said that was why the smell was there– told viewers via the media to go ask Johnsons about their poor security.
And Caylee was ‘missing’– why not find the perps who put some stranger’s body in the trunk, used the vehicle for storage while it was parked at Amscot. A direct lead to the real killer and they would clean up for this person?? Unless they believed it was Casey who did something with Caylee and that the smell was not some stranger.
Kleat:
I don’t think the Anthonys thought, when they picked up the car, that the smell of death could be Caylee but they sure thought someone dead had been in that car! Actually, George did have the thought run through his mind because he said a prayer to please not let it be Caylee. Anyway, they pull it into the garage & start cleaning, instead of calling 911! On a different note: I brought this up somewhere a while back & did not get a response….Am I the only one that found it strange that Casey, in her Target shopping spree(see security film) purchased a huge (12+ rolls) package of paper towels? Now why would she have purchased that many paper towel rolls for Tony’s apartment. That does not make sense, does it…UNLESS you have huge cleaning (clean-up) to do? I hope that LE asked Tony if Casey brought all those to his apartment. He would remember because he probably would have had a problem storing them. Please, Kleat, tell me what you think.
