“He has lulled himself into a false sense of competence.”
Hold The Hubris Pass The Humility
The saga begins as follows:
Aging local *legend in his own mind* defense attorney gets “defendant envy” when he sees the dude he thought was the busboy at all The Florida Bar functions, making more on his first big case, with more media face time, than Or lawn do has ever seen. Seasoned barrister signs on for his professional *see alice*, if you will.
Wait, kidding, not the saga in question, my bad.
Yesterday, on behalf of Casey Anthony, lead counsel with Jose Baez, J. Cheney Mason put to “motion” what undoubtedly was screaming inside his head as Mr. Baez bumbled, err, argued, against the States motion for contempt and sanctions last week. The reconsideration request drafted by Attorney Mason will undoubtedly come as a surprise to Judge Perry. When his Honor asked Mason why the deadline was not met at the State’s hearing:
..”Was there any particular reason that was not complied with?..”
Mason replied, “The answer to that is I don’t know.”
Mr. Baez was found in contempt and fined less than the cost of his ipad.
I am not an attorney, but I do know that you cannot introduce new and different bullsh*it you neglected to bore the court with previously AND when you had the opportunity to respond and argue with a new tie and pocketsquare ensemble.
Apparently Judge Perry was not swayed by Baez “.. They say they will call but they never do..” argument, insinuating all Jeff Ashton had to do was call him to work out what his other previous 4 email requests could not.
Makes sense to me now that he put it like that, right?
Everyone knows you can trust what a defense attorney says on the phone who will not commit same information to writing. Duh.
Damn this traffic jam how I hate to be late.. It hurts my motor to go so slow..
I have this vision of Atty Slabaugh driving down the 4 with the top down and the 300 pages he threw in the back “loose”, are flying all over the freeway behind him. So that’s the problem.. the dang clerk’s office refusing to tie up their fax, dedicate 2 folks to replace toner and paper in the middle of the 300 page and 5 hour late response, while jamming every other case and function, for Casey Anthony. Missed the memo as well, I presume.
How insensitive. First word folks.. flash-drive. Second word.. GARMIN. It does not take 5 hours to get from Kissimme to Orlando, and that’s assuming he left when the filing was already past deadline.
Moving on to the defense’s whine list:
My fave- Dr. Lee found 17 hairs in a car that is believed to have transported the victim in this instant capital murder case and therefore he should not be expected to testify about it.
BBBBBBBBAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAA. Seriously?
To date, this is absolutely the most laughable attempt to publicly excuse a witness who Mr. Baez apparently does not consider important enough to pay his dang expenses out of pocket for.
I hear this in my head:
Dr. Lee is not going to be called to testify OR be available for a deposition, cause, like, maybe the harsh weather will not produce that case of luscious oranges, but we are not sure yet, so please wait while we ask the plant lady, who will of course be testifying about plants, but you knew that already. Please tell me you knew that already.
Not to be confused with p-l-a-n-t-i-n-g, as we plan to move to strike or suppress any appearance of the words ” Dr. Henry Lee” and the word “planting” that appear on the same page of any document or media article, as well as within the silent thoughts of any of them-there bloggin’ types.
Lest we forget, Mr. Lee, who will not be testifying anyway if his expenses are not going to be paid, was denied access to an active homicide recovery scene while CST’s were still removing the tiny bones of Caylee Anthony from her swamp tomb.. the nerve of OCSO.
I mean, who knows what Dr. Lee could have come up with in that cornucopia of specimens.
Maybe even Kronk’s Oscar Meyer weenie whistle from the third grade perhaps.
Apparently the defense team , while discussing the virtues of Jose Hubris’s new “do”, missed the free lesson on the actual designation of the Crime Scene Technician, or CST, as mentioned by Jeff Ashton as opposed to the continued reference to “CSI” in defense motions.
Freeman is Freed
Dr. Michael Freeman, who up until last forever was working on his reports for the defense, will not be testifying, although he has not been removed from the defense witness list by presstime.
In an earlier blinkoncrime.com article, I opined about Dr. Freeman’s potential contribution to the case as it relates to a possible death by natural causes. In Judge Perry’s contempt order, it is clear that any expert witness whose opinions or conclusions are not part of discovery, will be excluded from the trial testimony by the defense.
Note- no reporting, no conclusions, no discovery from Dr. Freeman, an expert witness listed in a two year old case. Draw your own conclusions, or, maybe the incident in Washington where an individual with the same name and age helped himself to an Army cell phone that did not belong to him at a Federal facility is “of concern”.
A hearing is scheduled this Friday January 14 to hear the matter.
Late this morning a Judicial Assistant from Chief Judge Perry’s Chambers, speaking from a microphone at the defense table he turned on and off by himself, read aloud to Blink, Editor In Chief blinkoncrime.com, the order he is to prepare for Friday, as dictated to him by my Judge Perry daydream-thought-bubble this afternoon:
Mr. Mason, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul*.
Full disclosure: Maybe without his reading glasses Cheney Mason thought he was penning a request for a vacation, not a request to vacate.. In which case, who could blame the man? I say grant it without prejudice or reservations.

u bet he was waving that dern disc around like he was getting ready to do a frisbee play.
Hi Blink & all-
After reading your comments Blink, I went back and rewatched the hearing.
WATCH 1/14/11 STATUS HEARING: Part 1 | Part 2
http://www.wftv.com/news/26492040/detail.html
In Part two, Mr. Baez brings up new discovery released from the State regarding correction officers and inmates. LDB says (pp) that it was just released because there was an ongoing investigation, that has recently concluded regarding Casey’s letters in jail ect, and IIRC allegations Silvia Hernandez allowed/set up times for Casey and Maya ect- to communicate.
JB says he is going to try to set up a time with the jail to conduct all these interviews…HJP says(PP) yes do that, there shouldn’t be a problem..if there is let me know.
At the end of the hearing HJP brings up depos and witnesses again and reiterates- if there are questions/or a problem with the new discovery let me know.
So I really think this is what the new discovery is– all the witnesses that the State interviewed regarding the jail letters ect.
Thanks for pointing me to the most probable answer-
Ps Blink, you are correct that some discs/papers were given before the beginning of the hearing.
TY mom 3.0, I appreciate the clarification.
B
Mom03 – Have tried again to watch part 2 of the Status Hearing from your link but still can’t get past the commercial. Is there another web site that I can try? Am so frustrated as I am trying very hard to keep up with events. TIA
No problem , you’re welcome, Blink.
Since many of us will enjoy a longer weekend, because of Martin Luther King Jr’s holiday- I thought it would be nice to share a couple of quotes from him that, to me, underscore your statement from the radio show,
You said:
“I don’t want people to hate The Anthony’s and hate the defense team more than they care about justice for a little girl. That has always been my concern. There has to be a take away. How does a family prevent this from happening? How do you restore the legacy of a little girl, that basically everybody has made a living off of???….”
Martin Luther King Jr. said:
“Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.”
“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.”
Enjoy the holiday, everyone, and let us remember as Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Peace
I’ve asked this on a couple of sites and can’t seem to get an answer.
I know CA & GA are not permitted in the courtroom until they have testified and are excused. What I want to know is can they sequester them before their testimony, from watching the trial on TV/media untl then? If they can watch the trial at home, then keeping them from the courtroom would be moot.
Sorry chelsea, that is the only site I know of-
WFTV has been acting funny for me too, for awhile. I just usually refresh the page- and it seems to help. I wish WFTV would fix the problem, or go back to their old system…
LOL Chica!
We should be grateful that disc JB is waving around isn’t a star disc.
Correction….Mason waving disc.
This whole trial process from beginning to end will become an infamous example for law profs instructing future defense attorneys. This is EXACTLY what you don’t do *key projectionist*. I picture this 50′s style film (remember science class?) and narrating complete with eye rolling, somewhat humourous stabs of epic failure.
It’s never going to go away.
Sharma I was subpoened for a case, we had to appear at the courthouse during the entire trial until we testified and then released. They make everyone sit in a room and wait to testify. After that they allow you to leave the courthouse, hope this answers your question for you.
Sharma that didn’t make sense to your question, sorry. Let’s try again. It was a federal trial and NO we were not sequestered except during the time the trial was being heard in court. We were ONLY sequester during the day, in a room UNTIL we testified. Hope that’s a little better. If that is not helpful let me know, LOL I’ll try again.
Sharma-m Sorry I don’t know the answer to your question- but I would think the court system does what it can- no more, no less. Interesting points though.
adding link for latest story I have read:
Prosecution Gets Chance To Grill New Casey Witnesses
Witnesses Will Be Questioned By Prosecutors This Week Under Oath
http://www.wesh.com/caseyanthony/26520562/detail.html
Gosh; Cheney Mason seems to have taken on another case; high profile too. It’s Scott Bush; the guy accused of agrievated sexual assaul of a child less than 12; the one that the (now fired & charged) Windermere police chief tried to sweep under the rug.
That’s 4 cases Mason is signed in on right now.
http://www.wftv.com/news/26528580/detail.html
And Mark Nejame is representing the Chief of Police, who is his friend.
Should be interesting.
B
Blink, you absolutely, unconditionally win the Hubitzer Prize. Wish I was a graphic person, I would make you a statute.
A Texas Grandfather, I always enjoyed reading your grounded comments. If I may be so bold as to add: not only are we to be our brothers’ keepers, we are to be our brothers’ brother (and of course sisters too:>)
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/69484725/20110118-SA-Response-to-Defenses-Motions-in-Limine
Response to My Space postings, BB & the shovel, history of stealing and lying,Anthony R & Tony L prior/sexual relationship and the tattoo.
Very interesting read. The State, in my opinion does a great job of explaining their stance, and backs it all up beautifully with the law. I liked the part where the State says (pp) that all relevant evidence by nature would be prejudicial but explains :
snipped-
“Relevant evidence is admissible if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice,confusion of issues, misleading of the jury, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence”…….”relevant evidence is inherently prejudicial: however it is only unfair prejudice, substantially outweighing probative value which permits exclusion of relevant matters”…… “Pertinent considerations include the need for the evidence, the tendency of the evidence to suggest an emotional basis for the verdict, the chain of inference from the evidence necessary to establish the material fact, and the effectiveness of a limiting instruction.”
– If I were CMA and the Defense, I would be reading and rereading these responses. No hearing on these motions, as they agreed to submit their arguments in writing.- I believe the State, agreed that AR prior relationship is irrelevant. I wonder when the judge will rule on the others?
Now we wait to read the root growth response, the stain response ect Will we have to wait until Frye hearings or will they release the responses soon?
http://www.wesh.com/caseyanthony/26540776/detail.html?utm_source=manual&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=casey+updates
Wesh’s thoughts on the State’s response at link above
IRT the Tattoo-
I appreciated Mr.George & LDB pointing out that Casey happily waltzed in & decided to PERMANENTLY mark her body with a large tat which read, “The Good Life” or “The Beautiful life” during the time she was supposed to be distraught over Caylee’s disappearance.
As Wesh reported-
“A jury is entitled to view the defendant getting a tattoo as an expression of her preference for her life without Caylee,” the prosecution wrote.
IRT
Tony L’s relationship-
I liked how the State ‘went there’ and backed it up with law. They argued at the relevance of this relationship … While Casey was busy “playing house” with TL she did not once confide in him about Caylee’s disappearance, instead lying saying Caylee was with the nanny or her Grandmother. TL was with her for most of the 31 days and knows that while Casey claims to have been conducting her own investigation, she was instead watching videos ect, and happily “playing house”
IRT the shovel-
I appreciated The State laying it out-Casey was seen not 1 but 3 times that week, which was unusual, especially with her car backed into the garage. She borrowed a shovel returned it within an hour- and did not appear sweaty or dirty- Even though the shovel is prejudicial- it is evidence circumstantial perhaps – What makes the most sense…
The State wrote:
“The notion that (Anthony) borrowed a shovel to do some light yard work is preposterous,” the prosecution wrote. “The more reasonable explanation is that (Anthony) borrowed the shovel with the intent to bury her daughter.”
IRT My Space Diary of Days-
The State says claims by the Defense can not be substantiated- They could not find the song/lyrics by Hayden Christianson.
However the State says-
“It is interesting to note that Hayden Christiansen, the actor, was in a movie called ‘Jumper’ that (Anthony) rented at Blockbuster with her boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro, on June 16, 2008, the day that Caylee was last seen alive,” the prosecution wrote.
–I appreciated how the State laid out the foundation that this Diary of Days most certainly could have been a response to Cindy’s “My Caylee is Missing”
“The posting is also relevant to show what Casey Anthony did or did not do in response to her mother’s attempts to see Caylee.” Wesh reports the Sate says the posting is -”inconsistent in content with that of a mother desperately seeking her kidnapped child.”
– I was thinking Casey’s Diary Of Days is almost like a kidnappers letter to the family—pieced together from different quotes-or directly from the kidnappers own fragmented mind- almost like Casey sat down with a bunch of magazines and clipped out the words/letters to make -up a message that was both cryptic and informative- yet still vague enough to not say exactly what was needed to be said–therefore like a kidnappers note- it shouldn’t lead directly back to her….JMO
IRT Cindy’s My Space posting
The response is sad but true IMO- The State pointed out Cindy’s hopes and dreams and fears- “The posting is an untarnished view of the relationship that existed between Casey Anthony and her mother at the time of Caylee’s ‘disappearance’ and evidence of a desperate attempt by the grandmother to learn of the fate of her grandchild,” prosecutors said.
Thanks for the docstoc link MOM3.0 well worth the read.
Thanks Mom3, really appreciate the guidance.
Have just read the States Response, several times; how on earth do you defend yourself against such overwhelming evidence, circumstatial or otherwise? I am truly at a loss to understand why Casey Anthony has never considered a plea. Blink, is it too late for her to do so, even this far down the line? In the UK, if you plead guilty, the punishment invariably reflects your ‘honesty’, but should you plead not guilty but be found to be so, they can and do, throw the book at you. Is this likely to happen?
Defense asking for additional 300 hours more
PigletinCT & chelsea1515, You’re welcome. Glad to help.
http://www.wesh.com/caseyanthony/26557750/detail.html
“Casey Defense Wants $12K More From Taxpayers
New Motion Asks For Approval Of 300 Investigative Hours”
snipped-
The defense said in the motion it is already 106.2 hours over what has been approved by the court. Defense attorneys note that prosecutors continue to submit new witness names and turn over discovery, both of which must be looked into.
—-
Yeah, blame it all on the prosecutors.
I am assuming you mean Baez et al.
B
Searchers interviewed today did not help The Defense it seems…
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2011/01/casey-anthony-three-searchers-dont-support-defense-position.html/comment-page-1#comment-130636
Snipped-
Kealing said that about a dozen searchers were being deposed by prosecutors today. He talked to three.
Spouses Kevin and Lisa Galloway said the area where Caylee’s body was later found was waist-deep in water in September 2008. Kealing asked, “Do you think there’s any chance it was dry enough for someone to move the remains after Casey was locked up on Oct. 14?” Kealing asked. No, they said. In fact, they believe Caylee’s remains were submerged when they searched the area.
Searcher Melissa White told Kealing that she couldn’t say for sure she searched the exact spot where the toddler was later found.
And:
“Judge denies Jose Baez motion to reconsider sanctions”
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-casey-anthony-baez-denied-20110120,0,656597.story
Snipped-
“Counsel [for the defense] argues a determination of civil contempt is unnecessary to ensure compliance with the court’s order regarding discovery,” Perry wrote. “However, as the record will clearly reflect, the court did not hold counsel in contempt.”
Perry found Baez in willful violation of a discovery order, a sanction allowed under the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure….
In his order today, Perry included a lengthy footnote critical of the defense team’s efforts to convince the court that Baez made a good faith effort to provide the discovery information about the expert witnesses on time.
-more at link
Heh heh.
Thanks Mom 3.0
B
And another blow to José todéy as the judge assumes same José does not intend to contest the amount of the sanction and makes his decision:
http://www.wesh.com/caseyanthony/26562463/detail.html
“ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THE COURT’S ORDER GRANTING STATE’S MOTION FOR SANCTIONS/MOTION TO COMPEL AND REQUEST TO VACATE FINDING OF CONTEMPT
…….
It is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s Order Granting State’s Motion for Sanctions/Motion to Compel and Request to Vacate Finding of Contempt is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED in chambers at Orlando, Orange County, Florida this 20th day of January 2011.”
Just watched WESH news and they interviewed 3 witness who searched in the area Caylee was found but they all said that it was underwater. Where does Mason & Baez get that these people will lie for them. All the money spent already by the defense team on the harassement (or investigation) of these TES searchers was a “complete waste” and hopefully Judge Perry will not advance them more money for this “fishing expedition” Reading the motion and the details from P.I. Lyons is mind boggling. 10 hours to find and try to interview these people. Shameless. The only person who says there was no water is Laura Buchanan, which tells you everything. This whole thing is disgusting.
Laura Buchanan was wise to change her tune, talk about an opportunist and liar.
Yes, I called her a liar because she is one.
B
Jose Baez’s over use, miss use and abuse of the term, good faith is flabbergasting.
In the last court hearing, projecting about objecting to the (as yet undisclosed) jury selection town, Mr Baez said, “I realize that there’s not a strong likelyhood of my objection surviving, however if we have a good faith basis to do so, we’re obliged to do it.”
What in tarnation could good faith have to do with whether a jury pool may be tainted? This man speaks garbled hogwash.
He is justifying the trees he is killing with his reems of nonsense.
What he is doing, is not really unexpected, but it completely belies strategy or tactical planning in any way.
B
Yes, Blink, I meant Baez and Co. They just can’t pass up a chance to blame everything on the other side.
Is it just me…..or does it seem as though the defenses ship is taking on water & sinking faster & faster as we get closer & closer to the trial date!?!?!?! I can hardly wait for May to get here! I might even put in for some vacation time when that fiasco starts – just so I can watch them go down in flames real time & not have to play catch up after work every day!
Haven’t seen Chica post all week – hope everything is OK…
Blink, I know you are a busy woman, but just an FYI, here is a link to our most recent local tragedy waiting to happen…
http://www.modbee.com/2011/01/21/1520733/patterson-canal-search-suspended.html
The Orange County Clerk of Courts website was revised today. It used to have a banner on the homepage which opened the Anthony case file. Therein you could click on the items, such as motions and they’d open for reading.
Now the banner on the home page is gone. And there is a disclaimer needing agreement (click your acceptance) in order to search records. Once you’ve located the case file, the items can no longer be opened for reading.
I hesitate to suggest that this revision has anything to due with the Anthony case, but the convenient banner is gone. (The only such banner in the previous version was for the Anthony case files.)
http://www.myorangeclerk.com/criminal/iclerk_disclaimer.shtml
I was just wondering if Blink, Kleat, Moms03 or any other of the fine blogger’s have an opinion on weather or not The D-Team will be successful in getting the Whole Anthony’s family and their statements and jail viedo and lets not forget MONSTER MOM’S Reaction thrown out of the trail…..
No way in Hades…
Except..
I do not think the jury will ever see the video of Casey’s reaction.
B
When the trial is all said and done, will everything be released to the public, including the video of Casey’s reaction, if they do not use it in court?

Hi friend! I had been under the weather some but I am bouncing back.
I am so glad to hear all the good news but does it mean this will be on jose’s florida bar record? does that make sense to me even lol but realy???
Jose can you see by the dawns early light(cuz you aint sleeping at night).
the prosecuters red glare!!! gave hope that justice soon will flare.
how we proudly stand behind the state that freedom will not come for casey marie Anthony.
god bless caylee.
waving at blink and all my blinkie friends!!!
finaly we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!without a flashlight!!
I can just hear casey and cindy cursing baez in court when the verdict is read!!!
I so love JP he has re-newed my faith in him and the judicial system.
Caylee will get her justice!!!
Great job all of you with the links and blink with her fabulous reporting and love her snarkie’s too:)
After everything is said and done…….can the good people that have been dragged through the mud and pretty much accused of murder, sue the so-called defense lawyers? I know defense lawyers are suppose to defend their clients but I’m having a hard time believing that they have no limits and can ruin good people’s lives in doing so.
JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY!!
It depends, but in theory, yes.
Zenaida Gonzalez is counting on it, and I agree with her position.

http://www.ninthcircuit.org/news/High-Profile-Cases/Anthony/orders&motions.shtml
This is the link I use to check on motions etc.
Is working fine for me.
LOL I AM IN COMMENT PERGATORY!!
DEAR BLINK NO PUN INTENDED I KNOW BEING A WIFE/MOMMY AND WORKING WOMAN IS A HARD JOB TO JUGGLE.
HUGS MY FRIEND. JUST ME BEING ME SILLY.
annals, thanks. Wondered what was going on as the link was shut down, I thought it might be updating. Doesn’t matter much, we get the docs more quickly than they provide them there. I suppose they started to realize that they were loosing money by letting people open, read, even dl the docs free of charge.
Who will be the smart civil lawyer post-trial conviction who will pick Casey up as a client to sue the flapper shoes, suspenders (ie: there go the pants) and bozo nose off her present legal counsel?
GJJ ontario, thanks for the link, it works for me too.
Kleat; yes, we’ll wait & see.
QUOTE

UNQUOTE
Another coined phrase by Blink…should be bronzed. I’m so gonna remember this one
Kleat – 1/22/2011 @ 9:19 pm – Maybe yet another reason for Casey to be advised to take a plea? If the defense has any sense at all about them (and I do believe they have some survival skills), they will push for a plea deal.
If for some reason, Casey were to fire her defense team, I guarantee that the next defense lawyer to step up to defend would only advise her to plea out. The only reason this has not been done is because of promises made when Baez first took Casey on as a client. It’s been impossible to overcome the inappropriate nature as to why Baez took this case. Let’s just say it wasn’t professionalism that attracted Baez to Casey Anthony. He’s been swimming against the RIP TIDE ever since. I haven’t as yet jumped on the bandwagon to judge CM in all this, but he’s like the poor soul who jumped in the water to save a brother in the throes of a drowning episode in a rip tide, and now he’s going under too! Someone throw them a life-line please!
Kleat – If Casey did indeed take a plea – if one is offered – then any suits on Casey’s part – civil or otherwise – would be off the table as part of the plea deal. JB would NOT be off the hook for any ethical or legal breeches during his counsel, as that would be handled by the legal community down the road. We may never know if or how he is penalized, as it would not be front-page news, but if there were any improprieties he will be called upon to defend himself and pay his dues. JB just may ride off into the sunset, only to re-invent himself elsewhere and we will hear of him occasionally now and again. Ex: Lance Ito – judge during the OJ trial pops up now and then in the daily crossword puzzle.
Again – I am not a lawyer, but this has been my experience.
I briefly turned the channel to JVM last night. She happened to be highlighting Casey Anthony’s case and her spotlight went to Leonard Padilla. He commented that Jose was not dumb by any means; leaving the viewer to speculate that when ALL ELSE FAILS, this mad midget with a yoyo, will try a plea deal.
Q. DOES PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES TO THE POOR HAVE TO BE PERFORMED THROUGH AN ORGANIZED PROGRAM IN ORDER TO BE REPORTABLE?
A. No. An attorney providing free legal services on his/her own to an eligible client or organization can and should report it as pro bono legal services. However, there are several advantages to attorneys in providing pro bono service through an organized program:
•(i) client eligibility and nature of legal assistance needed will be determined by the organized program;
•(ii) assistance with litigation costs can be provided;
•(iii) provision of malpractice insurance on pro bono cases is available;
•(iv) consultation with experts in specialty areas is available; and
•(v) support staff services can be provided when needed.
So I Jose is not going pro bono under an organized program…. can he really get assistance. Or has he been listed under the Caylee foundation?
So,,,, for the sake of the florida taxs payers Jose please find a organized program to support this baby killer!
Thinking I need to find me a lawyer who would be willing to sue Jose. On behalf of the florida tax payers for wasting our money! Jose, I am thinking I want that HANKIE IN YOUR POCKET TOO!
Hello Blink and all,
Interesting posts lately- regarding the jail video of Casey’s reaction and regarding the ever growing # of “Kronked” innocents suing. I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts on if Casey will take a plea or not.
It seems things are happening lately in the case. Sorry I have not been able to be here participating for the last couple of days- but I have been reading!
I am playing catch up- here’s the latest-
http://www.wftv.com/news/26595062/detail.html
Todays hearing-
Motion Granted For More Money To Casey’s Defense -
Jose B argued that the State has many more resources.
“We’re playing catch up every time the state of Fl releases discovery”-JB
“In the interest of justice and in order to expedite this trial
I’m going to grant request..” HHJP
LDB says: that depos are still taking place….
There is no new discovery that requires a lot of additional investigation…
Next Hearing feb 4th

Snipped-
The material also includes LexisNexis background reports on Haskell and Orange County Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia.
Other items include various reports from media outlets, photos of law enforcement at the Suburban Drive crime scene, and nine unidentified photos labeled only with numbers.
Read the evidence inventory at link above-

I am sure everyone is aware, but just in case:
JUDGE IN CASEY CASE ISSUES RULINGS, SETS HEARING
http://www.wftv.com/news/26595062/detail.html
snipped-
Casey’s jailhouse pen-pal will testify against her. The judge gave prosecutors permission to bring convicted drug dealer Robyn Adams to Orlando for Casey’s trial.
The judge also ruled on a motion involving former meter reader and witness Roy Kronk, Past acts can not come in only 911 call and about any contact he had with Casey.
The judge also said Texas EquuSeach leader Tim Miller can’t be asked about the statement he made claiming Casey came close to marking Caylee’s location on a map.
Also-
The State added one more witness to their list- and sited ‘good cause’ for the delay-
01/14/2011 – Joseph C. Stephens – U.S. Secret Service, Forensic Services Division – Washington DC
Good cause for listing past the deadline – “Name and report received from Federal Bureau of Investigations on January 13, 2011″.
—
There is much speculation about this new expert and what he will testify to amongst blogs/bloggers- such as THM -WS -SM ect.
Some think this expert will be called to testify IRT the “2006″ diary entry of Casey’s.
Others think he will testify in regards to the heart sticker residue. Others think his testimony has something to do with latent prints found, and still others believe he will testify IRT the stain on the trunk liner…
As of yet, I am not sure what I think, all are good theories, IMO. I particullary found the last link interesting, regarding the Chemical Imaging System and its applications in crime fighting- enhancing trace evidence, gun powder residue, blood evidence, finger prints ect. But again, I do not know what Joseph C. Stephens exact expertize is in, nor do I know what he will will be testifying to if /when he is called by The Prosecution.
Here are the links to some info-

That’s it, interesting topics though- JMO
Blink and all- Do you have an opinion that you can share on what this new expert will be testifying to? I’d be really interested to read everyone’s thoughts.
Outstanding update Mom 3.0, many thanks.

Mom 3.0, Blink and all you smart Blinksters, I read some of the links you provided and IMO it may have something to do with the fingerprint imaging and/or something to do with the stain in the trunk. The article said something about being better able to see dark stains om dark backgrounds. Should be interesting though technical testimony. Have to get a new computer as the sound is out on mine and I plan to watch every smidgen of testimony and listen to all the “experts” commentaries.

Hi Blink. New poster here. Great site, keep up the very informative articles and comments!
Thank you carol for weighing in. I agree with you I also took note of the language used. I wonder if we will ever get to know /see what they tested?
Here’s something new, but IMO not surprising- I think Blink or one of the many contributors here thought this was coming…
Dr. Lee is off the team…does that mean he won’t be producing a report?
Casey Anthony: When is the defense no longer the ‘dream team’?

I promise you, this is a bigger mess than an un-delivered crate of oranges.
Out on the limb here- Dr. Lee will testify in this trial in some capacity if there is no plea.
