Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Casey Anthony’s Defense Has Gone To The Dogs
As previously reported on blinkoncrime.com, the hearing last week ordering Jose Baez and his defense team to submit specific information regarding their expert witnesses, has gone to the dogs.
Woof!
Dr. Fairgrieve, a forensic anthropologist and expert witness listed for the defense, intends to testify that Casey Anthony should have the right to confront her accuser.
Novel, appropriate, good news.
In this instance, one of her accusers with fur, according to her defense attorney, is named Gerus. The other, Bones.
For starters, if the summary of Dr. Fairgrieve’s findings is accurate as presented in this filing, I recommend as a practical matter, he identify exactly what “alerts” he is seeking to debunk.
There are several, all of which are well documented.
Orange County sheriff’s investigator Carlos Padilla told reporters, “We had two different dogs from two different counties that hit on the same exact spot.”
Evidence Bay with a closed car:
Casey Anthony’s Car: Detectives reported a different dog alerted to the same strong smell in the trunk after the white Pontiac had been abandoned in a parking lot.
“They have a hypothesis that the child may have somehow passed away,” Dr. Richard Weinblatt told Eyewitness News.
It is undoubtedly the recent work of Dr. Fairgrieves in a case involving a murdered man, Robert Wone, that got the attention of Jose Baez and his Scheme-Team.
In a successful inlimine motion, Fairgrieves offered testimony in the supporting affidavit that suppressed canine evidence in the Robert Wone murder.
The three male house mates of Mr. Wone were acquitted of the charges they faced as a result, which were not for his murder. The prosecutor himself could not prove his actual cause of death. The trio are currently facing a wrongful death action by the desceadent’s family.
“My role in the case is basically peer review,” Fairgrieve told the Orlando Sentinel. “I will be reviewing reports on the evidence. So far everything I’ve done has been remotely.” Scott Fairgrieve, MD
The ole probative vs. prejudicial argument is not unexpected in this case, I get it.
However, two different cadaver dogs, from two different counties, hit in the same area under or near Caylee’s playhouse. This was AFTER the alerts in the evidence bay on the car trunk, and both searches were conducted with permission from the Anthonys.
That would be the car trunk that produced one latent lift from the accused in this case, Casey Anthony.
Under Dr. Fairgrieve’s theory of “necessary corroboration”, we, in fact, have exactly that.
The hairs that were found in the trunk, including the hair with the “signs of decomposition” corroborate the canine’s alert as well as the report from Oak Ridge Labs.
Let us not forget, that a statement from the car’s owner and material witness in this case, concurs with the presence of decomposition in the damn car.
Reached late this afternoon prior to his Canine Christmas Mixer, www.blinkoncrime.com caught up with Gerus:
Seriously, that dude has my dander up daily. He needs to stay out from under my collar.
I know what I am doing at my job. And by the way, who is calling who a TOOL?
You tell that *My Cousin Vinny wanna be* that he should take his unearned legal hubris and shove it, where in my line of work, I don’t have to sniff.
Unlike him.
Speaking of hubris, a message to George-
The headline is not going to read ” Casey Anthony Not Guilty of Murder By Hereditary Hubris”
It is going to read..
“Apparent Shared Hubris Defect Cause for Casey Anthony to Blame Father in Caylee’s Death.”
Be like a burger and flip already. It’s all you got.
ps. “Shared Hubris Defect” is mine, J to the B.

U know I think there was soemthing there!! knowing what we know about baez!! he lacks ethics/boundaries/professionalism/morals.
waving at chelsea/sister/momof3/dee blink and all those good folks here at BOC BBL lol not lots of luck laughing out loud lol
Blink,
I can’t wait for your next peice on this !! I think Baez would like nothing more than the judge to remove him.. I’ve been waiting for 2 years for the defense to tell us Casey’s compelling story, You know the one Baez has told the media she has. Now we hear their expert can say that the body was moved while Caylee was in jail.. Of course it was, but not by some other dude, but by water and animals. I pray that judge Perry sees thru the lies in Mason motion to dismiss sanctions.
Hi camsmom- thanks- IIRC DC did say something regarding the whole alleged licorice debacle. I don’t think anyone can prove that Casey and Jose Baez had any other relationship than that of lawyer and client… But I do agree with you that there is much for the rumor mill to speculate upon. They certainly do seem to be cut from the same cloth. All JMO
Chica, yes we all need humor. But, truthfully, I don’t think it is funny in the least. I don’t know what Mr. Mason and the Defense team have up their sleeves, but it is very clear, IMO that they are hell bent on not showing their cards unless absolutely forced to…
Judge Perry has went out of his way to underscore the fact that there will be no “trial by ambush”, all cards must be laid out on the table, yet, The Defense seems to do everything it can to pull a slight of hand. Whether, placing the blame on their inexperienced, new lawyer & traffic, or trying to place the blame at The State’s feet, or seemingly threatening Perry himself, through filing appeals ect., they try.
Each time the Defense has been asked to show even one card, they act as if the Judge’s orders are something to out run and outmaneuver. They run as if dodging bullets. All the while screaming “Serpentine Shelly Serpentine!”- So far, it seems to have worked for them.

I have to ask myself why? Does the Defense really have nothing? Are they running scared? Or do they think they have an Ace in the hole?- and simply do not want to reveal it, despite any consequences? What is the worst that can happen? Someone else will have to retry this case. Casey will remain in jail, accused, but not found guilty, knowing everything the State has to offer, every piece of evidence, knowing the whole strategy, knowing every mistake made by the Defense, ect…
In Betty Broderick’s case, retrial didn’t work so well for the Defense, but it certainly worked for the Prosecution. Perhaps this is what The Dream Team has in mind- taking another play from someone else’s playbook and making it their own? IDK but it all makes me wonder.

I salute your post #19 also. Your commentaries on Casey’s seeming attachment to Baez (come what may) reminded me of another factor. Perhaps another compelling reason to keep Baez is simply to spite Cindy once again…Cindy & George who openly, and repeatedly, questioned Baez’ ability almost from “Day One”. Baez, besides being someone to flirt with, is also a way to thumb her nose publicly at Cindy & George’s attempts to control her. Casey hates Cindy and is contemptuous of George (at best). IMO, she has her parents exactly where she wants them-worried and dancing on the strings she’s pulling. Will they go so far as to be imprisoned or die for her? That remains to be seen. Cindy’s on shaky ground with Casey and she knows it. Hence the sudden buddying up to Baez. I predict, when push comes to shove, the Anthonys will turn on one another in a mad rush to save their own selves. For now, I think they’re afraid of Casey…they know what she’s capable of. All my own opinion.
Mom3.0, yes there is much need humor (thanks for providing it), but there isn’t a darn thing funny. Everything the duhfense has said they have to prove momster is innocent is non-existent, like the nanny. Hundred of thousand of dollars for self-promotion has backfired something horrible and now I think bozo is in too deep to get out. Mason is trying to save is now ruined reputation for the mere association with this clown and drinking the kool aid. Too late for all of them. I believe His Honor’s remarks about attorneys waiting in the wings for civil action was a warning or notice of what is to come for all those assoicated with this case. Being under a microscope and coming out looking good is impossible at this point. Too many words spoken with the now infamous hubris. The picture has now gone from bad, to worse, to worser, to stinking, to rotten, etc. They are drowning in their own lies and arrogance and no one is throwing them a line. Sadly, Judge Perry tried to do that for them, and it appears they have thrown the line back.
Mom3.0, there is no ace in the hole, IMO. The only ace was little Caylee and I don’t think they even can spell that precious child’s name without mucking it up.
Hi ISpy- thanks- I must admit that your scenario of Casey sticking with JB is quite plausible. I can certainly see that being a factor- Every major decision in Casey’s life seems to be made with the question of “How can I hurt my Mother & Father?” in mind.
Sister, good points- I caught that remark by HJP, regarding the Civil actions, but I wasn’t sure what he meant by it… Interesting take Sister. Thank you for your insightful post, I agree that it is impossible at this point to come out looking good. Your so right, the picture for The Defense has gone from bad to worse…
Maybe I have been looking at this all wrong. Perhaps the problem isn’t that Jose Baez & Team are withholding their cards, maybe the problem is that while The State has been following the rules for Poker, as set up by The Court- The Defense has instead been playing their own game of “Go Fish”
The defense seems to believe that the level of detail pertaining to expert witness discovery demanded by the State and the Court in this matter is unlawfully excessive. They are pleading that they are obligated to protect their “work product” in Cheney Mason’s Motion for Reconsideration. So here’s the Court’s Order and Mr Mason’s plea.
From Order Imposing Sanctions & to Compel Discovery, Jan 6, pages 3-4;
It is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1. The Court finds that defense council Jose Baez has committed a willful violation of the Order to provide additional discovery regarding expert witnesses.
2. The defense shall provide written reports to the state from all expert witnesses, which shall include the following information: a complete statement of opinions the witnesses will express and the reasons for those opinions, and any data or other information considered by the witnesses in forming their opinions or conclusions.
4. Opinions that are not expressed in a written report or at depositions taken during discovery will not be allowed at trial.

Cheney Mason’s argument; Jan 11 Defense Motion for Reconsideration of Court’s Order to Dompel Discovery and Sanctions; on page 4;
8. The defense response to the “clarification” Order indeed subtantially complied with each of the five provisions ordered by the Court.
9. Not withstanding the aforesaid substantial compliance, and being mindful of the entitlement/obligation of the defense to protect privileged matters (work product privilege), the Defendant submits the following supplemental information as to each of the expert witnesses: [what follows can be found in the link below]
Page 10, item 10. The Court has acknowledged, in fact in its Order of December 3, 2010 (Exhibit “B”), that “work product” privileged documents would not be included in any required discovery. To the extent that Orders have been interpreted as exceeding that, then said Orders would be outside the essential requirements of the law.[snipped]
http://www.wftv.com/pdf/26455761/detail.html
The defense seems to disagree with the prosecution & the Judge (& Bill Sheaffer) as to the FL laws of criminal proceedure in the area of discovery. In their latest motion the defense is in effect asking to NOT be required to submit experts reports & data due to work product protections.
From uslegal.com;
Work product refers to the writings, notes, memoranda, reports on conversations with the client or witness, research and confidential materials that reflect an attorney’s impressions, conclusions, opinions, or legal research or theories.Work product materials are confidential and are not required to be submitted in answer to discovery requests or subpoenae.
http://definitions.uslegal.com/w/work-product/
Can anyone illuminate how work product protections relate to discovery in the Anthony case? I’m honestly confused.
Oops, Blink, I didn’t mean to post that last comment here. Feel free to remove it.
BAEZ…AGAIN MADE A FULL OF HIMSELF THIS MORNING, WHILE TALKING TO COURT TV. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT COURT TV GOES BOTH WAYS, WHENEVER THEY SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY. THEY ARE NEVER SINCERE WHEN CONGRATULATING A BAD ATTORNEY OR PRAISING A PARENT THAT LOST A CHILD. THE JUDGE SHOULD START REPRIMANDING BAEZ AND CHENEY, INSTEAD OF ACTING LIKE A DAD, PUNISHING HIS KIDS. CASEY HATES HER PARENTS AND HER PARENTS HATE HER, BUT THEY WANT TO PRETEND THE OPPOSSITE, OTHERWISE, WHEN SHE IS FOUND GUILTY AND SENTENCED TO DEATH, PEOPLE WILL FEEL SORRY FOR THEM. I DON’T KNOW WHO WILL. THEY ARE GUILTY FOR NOT INVESTIGATING WHERE CALEY WAS FOR A MONTH, WHEN THEIR DAUGHTER WAS A BAD MOTHER. CINDY WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE CAR AND MONEY STOLEN BY CASEY. SHE KNEW CALEY WAS IN DANGER WITH CASEY, BUT THEY DID NOTHING. CASEY DID NOT LIVE WITH THEM, BUT BAEZ KEEPS ON SAYING THAT SHE DID. CINDY CLAIMS THAT SHE WAS UNDER HEAVY MEDICATION AT THE TIME OF HER DEPOSITION, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE ASKED IF THEY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR MEDICATION, WHILE UNDER OATH, AND IF THEY, ARE, THE DEPOSITION WILL STOP. THESE TWO PARENTS HAVE A CROWN ON THEIR HEADS BECAUSE THEY DO THINGS THAT NOBODY IS ALLOWED BY LAW.
Aida-
Lovely name. Welcome to BOC.
Can I ask you to please not do the “all caps” thing? I don’t allow it for a variety of reasons, most of which has to do with several folks using PDA’s, Droids and Iphones, etc.
Thanks
B
