“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.

Ah…scroll to ‘Jose Baez Gets Hit Again’. I apologize for the gaggle of posts.
Hi ragdoll and all- Stopping by to give update on todays staus hearing-
Todays Court Hearing:
My observations /opinion- weird day- court started late. Even JP was late. Mason seemed bored- Baez seemed perturbed by everything….He Did get over it later though, and joked with JP.. Aston seemed bothered by the inability to move forward with his work due to extensions/noncompliance of Defense.. LDB was very on task today- HJP- rendered decisions swiftly today- seemed to be walking JB thru what to do “if”…but not as fatherly IMO
Jose asks for another extension for 4 experts to provide reports- Spitz, Reichs, Logan & new one Bill Rodriguez(decomp expert)
Ashton says ok to Spits (due to medical condition) objects to other 3- brings in Tweets from Reich that she has been doing nothing that would preclude JB from getting her report- sick cats, vacation ect. Reichs is on vacation until 02/16 http://twitter.com/kathyreichs
HJP asks “Does the expert in Tahiti have a phone?”
JB- says I have tried- would like for everyone to get together on the 23rd..Experts pro-bono… work for slave wages”…inconvenient..on & on ect
JPerry says, it doesn’t matter if experts are pro-bono or being paid slave wages or luxury wages, same rules apply- deadline was Jan 26 …
JP says I guess you don’t them to testify? JB answers Yes…
Says e wants to provide the best defense for his client- thinks it is best to meet altogether, hard to do over the phone ect- because of the amount of pics ect. JP says he doesn’t get it… says to Fed EX the pics ect- ( many of the pics are sealed- Its my understanding that they can’t just be Fed-Exed right? I could be wrong)
JP sets New dates of Feb 15th at 4pm……Bill Rodriguez deadline Fed 21st 4PM. Spits I believe will be march 11… JP then says “no new extensions will be entertained”
JB asks for clarification on ruling IRT nothing coming in, if it isn’t in report or depo…Does this mean State too? JP- answers Yes- “no gotchas”…. “if during cross examination….an hypothetical was posed to an expert,the answer would constitute rendering an opinion….”
Frye hearings?
JP says March 23,24, 25 hearings held – at this time state and Defense will have to let JP know about evidence, if it will be Frye ect JP says memos are nice, but it has to reach threshold of law. he does his own research…. I read your cases and still find more…
JB says We are at odds with the Oak Ridge Lab. We will challenge the interpretation of their findings. JB then says “You can’t get a vacuum cleaner and say “this is a forensic instrument..” Ashton is asked by JP about Sticker evidence ect- Ashton replies ..sticker evidence ect, we will respond to defenses motions to preclude all together at one time…
Defense then brings up complaint regarding the State still getting/releasing new evidence this late…providing it continuously…asks, Can there be a cut off?
LDB- answers,We get emails, and followups like from TES investigation, etc. Nearly completed with depos of witnesses provided. If we receive rebuttal info we will provide it.
We traditionally pass on info between five to seven days on our receipt of it.
Ms. Anthony’s diary sent to FBI, follow-up is still going on.. within past month or so.
LDB says “If the question is are we gonna continue to do our job …. the answer is Yes.”
Defense argues about new ink expert/diary evidence hat was just turned over…says its speculative..Is it from ’03, 0’4 ??
HJP asks JB- Do you have a copy? JB Yes- JP have you read it? Do you not like what it contains? Then file a motion. JB says, not that easy… its speculative… “She says she has no regrets…. ” I don’t regret what? Not eating chocolate anymore?” JP says, If there are things in the diary that you don’t like, there are two ways to tackle it. Motion in Limine/ or object. Past deadline…JB answers- but they just turned over this to us…HJP says, then if you don’t like it, file a motion to exclude.
Jury Selection
JP says May 4th will be the date to object to venue location.
May 2nd will probably be the day the venue released to attorneys.. JP still researching looking…
Judge Perry says- I am researching to find a case where a Judge was reversed on a decision based on objection to trial location….”I haven’t found one yet.”
JB- says defense asks for/needs 30 days to research area ect… this case different…ect
J Perry replies- I think you hand-picked some sights you liked earlier …Miami Dade, Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County. I assume you researched those…& any that were not suitable at that time? JB- yes, all of Florida… HJP- answers, well then… Regardless of the research you bring in, the appellate court would look at your questions and their answers thereto. They are not supposed to be deaf and dumb. Can they set aside their opinions ect?
Other decisions today- touch DNA- a written status to me by Feb 10, 12 noon. Completed and report done. End of court HJP asks for phone number and initial correspondence given by JB to DNA lab says he is gonna call…
The State is ordered to provide expert report from Dr. Haskell on Feb-11 by 4 pm
HJP seemed leery. He seemed to want to reiterate to both sides, the Defense & the State -The time for posturing/ play is over- trial is fast approaching- Get to getting…All JMO
*All statements paraphrased-unless quoted. My apologies, if I missed something or made a mistake- info given is to the best of my ability/recollection ..
Fireworks occurred outside of the courtroom today:
“Jose Baez refused to talk to reporters after Casey Anthony hearing”
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/caylee-anthony/os-casey-anthony-new-hearing-20110204,0,3473369.story
snipped-
Mr. Baez did not lie to anybody and you are a pain… ,” Baez’s co-counsel Cheney Mason told a WFTV reporter during a combative exchange outside the courtroom Friday. At one point, Mason summoned a court deputy to escort the legal team.
The defense team would not answer questions directly related to the case either. Mason grumbled about media coverage being unfair and unbalanced.
–
On WFTV – at the end of Kathy’s report you can see Mason get so rattled and go searching for help to rescue Jose Baez from Kathy’s questions… He must have been saving his defense tactics for this encounter today, as CM sat passive through much of court today. J/K
http://www.wftv.com/video/26751466/index.html
WFTV also has footage of the Status up.
Have a good weekend everyone.
What is EVER the point of lying about lying? Keeping their mouths shut was a good decision. However it seems Baez’s swagger has seemed to rub off on Mason. Tsk tsk tsk.

PS….Alberta’s Balzac Billy saw his shadow. I heard he got boo’d. 6 weeks of winter here
@ Mom3.0
Thank you for the brief, great job!…finaly slowing down and trying to find out what happened today
V
Mom03 – As usual, really good job, thanks so much for update. I did manage to listen in to last 20 mins. and was shocked at how ‘schoolboyish’ JB behaved. His behaviour and responses were very petulant and immature. It seemed almost like a role play exercise at Law School, with HJP having continually to explain what I would have presumed should have been known by the defense attorney of a DP case. When HJP referred to Okechobee not being similar to Orange County, did he mean he has to try a select persons from similar backgrounds etc.?
This past Christmas, I finally understood the magnitude of our Lord’s sacrifice.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Just as Christ was crucified for his Virtue, the State is condemning Casey to her death.
And what evidence was brought forward to Pilate?
No Witnesses
No Video Tape
No Confession
No Motive
No Weapon
No Fingerprints
No DNA
No Soil match
No Drug evidence
No Prior Criminal Record (was clean as a whistle)
No history of child abuse
An Air Test?
An “alleged” misplaced heart-shaped sticker?
A phantom diary entry written two years before the child was even born?
The testimony of two “alleged” Police dogs?
A dead snake?
Irrelevant photos taken BEFORE Caylee was missing?
A body mysteriously found by an “ALLEGED” Violent Pedophile in an area that had already been thoroughly searched?
An unaccounted for Father?
An insanely jealous ex-boyfriend?
Judgments of a Frightened and Traumatized Young Mother’s actions?
The ignored testimony of a witness implicating someone other than Casey (Ms. Wray, Ms. Buchanan).
The opinions of a media-crazed, redneck bounty hunter?
Untrained, jealous, women galloping through the woods trampling on evidence?
No evidence that a murder even took place, let alone connecting any crime to Casey.
Reams of Junk Science & false speculation (i.e. air test, coffin flies)
An endless supply of baseless theories and accusations from jealous, no-life bloggers.
Reasonable doubt?
The Death Penalty? Are you/they serious?
Why is this miscarriage of justice happening?
Gifted with unimaginable beauty, she received the attention of every man and the jealousy of all women.
A voracious reader with superior intellect, she quickly bored with a mediocre school system.
A selfless, altruistic, loving Single Mother, who sacrificed all to nurture Caylee sunshine.
Now a jealous mob who wants their pound of flesh.
God Bless
Wow, thanks, Mom 3.0, for that thorough recap.
As to Jose Baez’s demeanor. He seemed a tad subdued and tentative when he first stood at the podium & spoke, then very quickly he was back in full victim mode; using emotional language.
He is late with 4 expert reports; 1)Dr Spitz because he has medical issues and the prosecution agrees 2)Dr Kathy Reichs because (as far as I can tell) she isn’t responding 3)Dr Logan because he hasn’t responded, but surely will 4)Dr Wm Rodregaz because he was added to the list at the 11th hour and needs time.
The defense really, really wants to talk to the 3 experts at the Forensic Conference (which starts Feb 21) because the prosecution has correlated the information between their experts in such a way that they’ve shared and agreed upon findings. Baez is not sure that this is proper and wants to do the same with his folks too.
Rulings on deadlines; 1)Dr Spitz March 11 2)Dr Reichs Feb 15 3)Dr Logan Feb 15 4)Dr Rodregaz Feb 21.
To me the most interesting part of this hearing was concerning the upcoming Frye hearing(s). Jeff Ashton is unclear how many of the forensic issues mentioned in a motion by the defense are actually appropriate for Frye. He alludes that the motion is specific as to which issues the defense wants in the Frye hearings, but is short as to why they should be Frye hearings. Baez responds that he is very specific as to what he wants Frye hearings on, then complains that Jeff isn’t responding to the motion (nor responding to his motions in general). Ashton’s response is classic. It looks to me like when a 10 year old is forced to inclue a 4 year old sibling when playing with his adelescent friends. They just sort of pull the (alternately) needy & resentful 4 year old along as best they can.
As for Cheney Mason, I can’t read him. He reacts facially to much of what Baez is saying but I can’t tell whether he is shaking his head in woe of Jose Baez or if he’s agreeing with Baez about the mean spitited prosecutors’ terrible advantages.
Here’s a link to part 2 of the hearing form WFTV; the Frye discussion is at minutes 6:30 to 15.

OOps, sorry the link above is for part 1 of the hearing. This one is for part 2 which has the Frye discussion at minutes 6:30-15:
http://www.wftv.com/video/26751020/index.html
Thanks Mom3.0. You’re da bomb, girl. I was having a difficult time finding anything new. I’m a tad surprised Baez was given his extension but in the same breath, I believe HBP is doing everything possible to ensure a fair trail down the road. I pray his strategy works in the end.
Have a great weekend my friends! God bless <3
PS…Mom3.0
HJP asks “Does the expert in Tahiti have a phone?”
I LOVE when he’s blunt. This Rodgriguez person I never heard of. Apparently, it’s new to Baez….HJP had to remind him when he couldn’t recall the name.
The diary was purchased in 2004 but the date Casey provided was 2003. It makes it more credible her entry of June 21 was 2008, imho.
What’s with the defense complaining about the state providing new evidence? Shouldn’t they be focused on meeting deadlines and providing on time what the courts have been demanding since the ascension of Christ?
Just my 2 cents. Brilliant analysis as always Mom3.0. I think you covered the most important issues as usual!
Just a Thought..
Myabe Jose, owes his experts monies, and this is why there are no return phone calls, or reports!
What is Dr. Logan going to testify to? As other bloggers have pointed out, WFTV was able to contact Logan for a comment on the dangers of abusing bath salts.
The big news is that Baez was unable to contact him while WFTV was…well, I am more interested with what exactly he will be doing for the defense as an expert… Dr. Logan seems to be an expert on “legal highs”, coming up with ways to test urine blood ect for these substances. He was at one time interested in researching stimulant use and driving impairment, drug interactions and postmortem toxicology, and drug facilitated sexual assault. He is director of NMS Labs, which is the first laboratory in the US to offer a forensic test for the key ingredients in Saliva and herbal incense blends such as K2,& Spice also testing for other designer drugs such as mephedrone, ect.
“NMS Labs monitors emerging trends in the drug abusing community, and rapidly responds with the latest technology to detect and measure these impairing drugs.” These drugs have some of the same effects of marijuana, LSD or ecstasy ect. It is said that each has adverse effects even death can occur… So again I ask what is Dr. Logan, the toxicologist/chemist…going to testify to?
In yesterday’s hearing, Jose Baez was sure to ask Judge Perry for clarification on what will be allowed in trial..If it is not in the experts reports or in the depositions it will not be allowed in… Jose Baez was adamant that Dr. Logan was NOT a toxicologist but rather a chemist…, although Ashton pointed out that it is on his web-page-
Yes, Dr Logan has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry but he has earned his Ph.D. in forensic toxicology. Doesn’t seem like such a big deal, I say tomato- you say tomato. It seemed to be a big deal to Baez, why? Is there a huge difference between the two? Does JB already have a toxicologist expert? Or Is there more to his insistence in regards to chemist vs toxicologist?
(snipped from following links) Dr. Logan was the Toxicologist for Washington State. He is a member of the Society of Forensic Toxicologists. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Forensic Sciences and the Journal of Analytical Toxicology. Logan is Board Certified by the American Board of Forensic Toxicology(ABFT)He writes about the effects of alcohol, and drugs on drivers…. as well as other aspects of forensic toxicology, including postmortem toxicology, adverse drug reactions, and homicide. He is Director of Toxicological Services at NMS Labs.
All about Dr. Logan, and his career, the lab NMS, & some of the drugs they test for ect…

Dr. Barry K. Logan was born in Bearsden, Scotland, and earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and Ph.D. in forensic toxicology from the University of Glasgow. In 1986 he accepted a research position in the Department of Toxicology and Chemical Pathology at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. In 1990 he joined the faculty of the University of Washington (UW) in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and was appointed Washington State Toxicologist. In 1999 the Washington State Toxicology Laboratory merged with the Washington State Patrol, and Dr. Logan was named Director of the newly created Forensic Laboratory Services Bureau. In addition to his duties as State Toxicologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at UW, he oversees operations of the State Patrol Crime Laboratories, Breath Test Section, and Implied Consent Section. Dr. Logan has more than 70 publications in the field of forensic toxicology and drug analysis, and is Board Certified by the American Board of Forensic Toxicology. He has been elected to the National Safety Council’s Committee on Alcohol and Other Drugs and to the International Council on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety, and has served as a consultant to the National Institute of Justice, the United Nations Drug Control Program, and numerous state agencies. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, an active member of the Society of Forensic Toxicologists, and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Forensic Sciences and the Journal of Analytical Toxicology. His current research interests include stimulant use and driving impairment, drug interactions and postmortem toxicology, and drug facilitated sexual assault. He has spoken on such topics as, driver impairment from medicinal drugs as well as drug use in vehicular assault and homicide.

State toxicology lab chief resigns over DUI errors
SEATTLE — Dr. Barry Logan, head of the state crime and toxicology labs, has resigned following the discovery of deficiencies in the way DUI testing was conducted at the toxicology lab.
As head of the Washington State Patrol’s Forensic Laboratory Services Bureau, Logan was responsible for operation of the state crime lab and toxicology lab. He also filled the role of state toxicologist.
For several months, the patrol has been in the process of correcting operational deficiencies discovered in the toxicology lab. Recent court rulings also were critical of the operation and management of the lab.
Irregularities were discovered in the toxicology lab in late summer 2007.
A senior manager was found to have signed off on tests she did not personally perform. An investigation into that misconduct led to the discovery of other problems, including errors that may have materially affected breathalyzer results in about 130 DUI cases.
Batiste immediately ordered a series of audits, and all recommendations made by the auditors to date have been accepted. Most have already been implemented. A review of those audits is being done by the state’s Forensic Investigation Council, which will decide if it needs to conduct a further audit of its own.
In King County, three judges referred to what they called ethical lapses and a climate of compromise in the state toxicology lab.
Logan says he strongly disagrees with the findings of those judges, although he admits there were errors made in the lab. He said as soon as the problems were identified, they were corrected and he is confident in the calibration of breath test equipment and in the performance of the toxicology lab.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm…thtest23m.html
In January 2008, District Court Judges Darrell Phillipson, Mark Chow and David Steiner issued a blistering 29-page ruling, saying that the lab engaged in “fraudulent and scientifically unacceptable” practices that have compromised breath-test readings used to prosecute suspected drunken drivers.
The judges found that a “multiplicity of errors,” including how breath-test results were analyzed and verified at the lab, affected thousands of cases in recent years. Specifically, the judges criticized the work of former state toxicologist Dr. Barry Logan and former lab manager Ann Marie Gordon.

WFTV Tests So-Called “Bath Salts” Used To Get High
Both labs found the same stimulant, MDPV, which is known to cause psychosis, spike heart rate, and trigger heart attacks.
“There have been deaths associated with it,” said Dr. Barry Logan, NMS Labs.

Hi Ragdoll thanks. I agree with you on all of your points- We can only hope that justice is served in the end.

Sprocket & Company In Depth, True Crime Reporting
On yesterday’s status hearing, Snipped;
The hearing began late. The attorneys were in a conference in Judge Perry’s chambers. At one point, Cindy Anthony was summoned to leave the courtroom and later returned with Baez&Co.’s attorney Michelle Medina. (I sure would like to know what all that was about!) It was also noted that Sgt. Allen was in attendance at the hearing. The rumors are running rampant. I’m sure we’ll learn something about it sooner or later.

that makes sense huh?

What will the expert testify to?
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/26552977/detail.html
Also receiving media attention in the line of “bath salts”, that when consumed, produce an extacy-like high. These products are often sold in head-shops as well. A federal law, passed a decade ago, technically makes these products illegal. The Federal Analog Act States that any chemical which is used to produce an effect similar to an already scheduled substance is illegal. Spice and bath salt distributors have dodged this law by labeling their product as “not for human consumption”.http://dopegamenews.co.uk/?tag=spice
`Mephedrone is a main ingredient in the substance. 7NEWS has learned the bath salts can be used as a designer drug mimicking the effects of ecstasy.
http://nmslabs-blog.com/?tag=/spice
snipped-
But the 49-year-old Scotsman didn’t go into the illegal drug trade. Instead, he entered the so-called “legal high” business—a burgeoning industry producing new psychoactive powders and pills that are marketed as “not for human consumption.”
Mr. Llewellyn, a self-described former crack addict, started out making mephedrone, a stimulant also known as Meow Meow that was already popular with the European clubbing set. Once governments began banning it earlier this year, Mr. Llewellyn and a chemistry-savvy partner started selling something they dubbed Nopaine—a stimulant they concocted by tweaking the molecular structure of the attention-deficit drug Ritalin.
Mr. Llewellyn is part of a wave of laboratory-adept European entrepreneurs who see gold in the gray zone between legal and illegal drugs. Last year, 24 new “psychoactive substances” were identified in Europe, almost double the number reported in 2008

On Logan:
—Not sure what he will testify to, but according to Baez in court yesterday:
Dr. Logan’s specialty is “chemistry” and he is supposed to testify to (pp) the states… he’s testifying at the Frye Hearing, as it pertains to Oak Ridge Lab.
I say huh? What does that mean? Will he be testifying to its practices? What?…

that’s all folks—-
Jose really put me off using the term “Slave Labor”? Come On! @#$%^&* Is this his strategy… to have pity on his client for making her own life A LIVING HELL.
To Whom It May Concern: (Mr. “Jensen” and Co)
I know you don’t really want an answer to your rant, but I believe in every posters right to state their opinion and have others respectfully agree or disagree in turn. So, I say welcome JJ and, please take the time to read this post.
You wrote that you finally understood “the magnitude of our Lord’s sacrifice.” Then you go on to state:
“Just as Christ was crucified for his Virtue, the State is condemning Casey to her death.”
Well Sir, If you did truly understand His sacrifice, then you would know why He was crucified. You would also most assuredly, never compare Casey Anthony’s possible punishment to that Of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion.
As for Pilate, he based his decision on fear and nothing else.
Fear not, JJ, Judge Perry will not have this problem, he has proven himself to be a most respected Judge. He will have no problem making a decision based upon the Law, and the evidence, no matter who might be angered by his final gavel knock. Please keep in mind that the defendant, Casey Anthony will also have the right to a trial by jury.
As for the evidence that you questioned…, Casey hasn’t went to trial yet JJ. No evidence has been presented in a court of Law, and no jury has been seated.
We do not know what the witnesses will testify to, including Casey.
We do not know what evidence will be presented. We don’t know anything yet JJ- except an innocent little girl, Caylee marie Anthony is dead.
You are only speculating, just as we all have.
Regardless of people’s opinions (including yours), on Casey’s beauty or behavior, or her guilt or innocence, Casey will have a fair trial.
Fear not JJ, justice will be served.
Mom 3.0-
How I envy your diplomacy. You are truly a mentor to me in that sense, thank you.
To JJ:
This is Blink speaking, because I do not possess the diplomacy and kindness in all matters as my friend Mom 3.0.
I am glad to hear that the object of your advocacy is ok with being a martyr and all about sacrifice.
She will be sacrificing the balance of her life talking through vents and scrawling bullshit letters to cons she thinks gives a rats ass.
Let me rephrase that, she will be doing so as the Mother of a baby she murdered, in general population.
Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee.
Yep, however, in this case, we have actual images and no tablets required.

Check out this cheesy video of baez trying to do a commercial for his law firm. Neither baez or his law firm can even spit out a decent intelligent presentation!!
http://www.baezlawfirm.com/fondo-videos.html
Heidi, yes the slave labor wages comments put me off, too. The Justice Administrative Commission of FL is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars so that Casey Anthony can have private representation, scientific experts and investigators. Hearing Baez malign it, hurts my heart.
Mom 3.0; thanks for your work on Dr Barry Logan. Lot’s of reason there to indicate that he is indeed a toxicologist. Jose Baez’s insistance that Logan is a chemist is just wierd. To be sure, a forensic toxicologist is also a chemist. But I can imagine the confused look my pharmacist sis-in-law would give me if I were to introduce her as a chemist. Or my architect neighbor as a draftsman.
Will Logan address the high levels of chloroform in the trunk, from a toxicoligical point of view? (I’m not sure whether Oakridge Labs analysed that.) Will he argue that the results of the forensic-decomp-vacuum-cleaners are correct and accepted in the scientific community (or not?) but misinterpreted as to accepted legal arguments?
This is what Baez said;
@ 20:30 in part 1, as to Dr Logan; “He will be testifying in the Frye hearing as it pertains to the Oakridge Laboratories.”
at the end of part 1; concerning Dr Rodregaz; “He would be relating to looking at all the issues as they relate to decomposition and that includes photographs of the recovery site as well as other photographs.”
http://www.wftv.com/video/26750720/index.html
& in part 2 @ 10:30, about the Frye hearings;
“The issue that we’re really at odds with is that of the Oakridge Laboratories. I told Mr Ashton and I can represent that to the Court, we’re not going to question the validity of the Gas Chromatograph or the LIBS; the lazer induced breakdowns per second…Those 2 instruments, as to their abilitiy and their findings. Now, as to the interpretations of their findings and how they’re applied, that is being challenged. You can’t get a vacuum cleaner and say; OK, well, this is a forensic instrument. And that’s basicly what the State is trying to do with these instruments that were previously, of course, uh…We have no issues as to their reliability, but as to how they’re being used. And that is the issues that will come up before the Court.”
http://www.wftv.com/video/26751020/index.html
Chica – And every FAQ was met with…..Coming Soon….. !!!
Blink – I admire Mom03 enormously for her dignity, diplomacy and kindness but if I’m honest, your words to JJ are probably closer to my own feelings. Either way, I guess he got the message.
Hey Mom3.0!
Found this site on the expert witnesses and what they’d testify too. Dr. Logan:
1. Dr Logan’s curriculum vitae is attached as exhibit 9.
2. Dr Logan’s field of expertise is forensic chemistry.
3. If Dr Logan were called to testify the subject matter that he would testify to is forensic chemistry.
4. If Dr Logan were called to testify would depend on the Court admitting for the first time in any State air samples tested by Oakridge Laboratories.
5. The summary of Dr Logan’s testimony is that he disagrees with the methodology employed by Oakridge laboratories in their “Forensic Report.” That the science employed is not recognized in the scientific community.

PS…Mom3.0…justice will prevail! Caylee needs us to believe. I also have no doubt that posts such as yours, Kleats, Chica’s, annals, etc etc etc (so much more credit to give out, my apollies to those I’ve missed) are being considered by the appropriate parties. I do believe Casey is sunk.
I was watching HLN earlier today. A comment was made while Caylee was missing, she was telling friends at various points, she was with Cindy. Cindy finally goes frantic and hunts down Casey’s friends. She calls Amy, tells her she hasn’t seen her grand daughter in 31 days. She offers to pick her up at the mall so Amy can lead her to Casey.
Amy gives this information to investigators, sealing the reality that Caylee was never with Cindy as Casey told Amy and other friends.
There’s a gaggle of evidence just like this that will sink Casey’s ship faster than any ship. That gives me great hope.
I went back to the beginning, watching/listening to Casey’s interviews with LE, reading testimonies of friends, family, etc….. Regardless of Cindy’s and Jose’s effort to create doubt, it’s all there right from the start. 31 days.
((((((((((((GROUP HUGS))))))))))))))
I was so distracted by Johnny Weir’s show in the background, my previous post makes no sense. I hope my point gets across regardless. :S

Great link annals. I feel validated in my own thoughts just having read that blog.
What I don’t get is Baez’s choice of meeting in person vs. a telephone call. One form of communication being much cheaper than the other. He complains having to pay out of his pocket. His fingers look like they’re in tact. A phone call would be more efficient and cheaper. It’s a no brainer and one I’m sure most attorneys are accustomed to when contacting witnesses, experts, etc. Worse, why is Mason enabling this non sense? If Baez can’t make the calls, why can’t Mason? He appears unaffected by Baez’s apparent lack of experience and confidence. Would he really stake his reputation and years of hard work as a successful defense attorney only to be pulled down to the levels of the bumbling Baez?
None of this makes sense to me. If the defense has a strategy, it is completely muddled and disorganized at best. JMHO.
Jerry Jensen, respectfully, I have to agree with Blink and Mom3.0
The magnitude of Christ’s suffering was more than enough to save the universe. The suffering Casey is going through was brought on by herself and, well, trivial considering one was persecuted; the other, being prosecuted and rightfully so.
There is no comparison. Mutha of the Year is about the only title I see on her sash.
Your postings are getting old. Do you have anything new to add that would unequivacally exonerate Casey Anthony from murdering her daughter? The circumstantial evidence, witness testimonies about her behaviour while Caylee was missing, the photos, etc, are condemning. No nanny (she knows Baez’s phone number but can’t recall the nanny’s after a year and a half of service). Otherwise, I simply chalk up your posts as nothing more than trolling and harrassment, which by the way, is NOT helping Casey.
Apologies to blinkoncrime if I’ve over stepped my boundaries here. <3
Ragdoll – only change to your comment I would make is the wording on ‘her’ sash… MURDERER OF THE YEAR………
Please don’t apologise on my behalf.
Excellent Chelsea! LOL
I’m referencing Rick Plesea, Cindy’s brother, in an email when he said Casey was more like ‘mutha of that year’. I had a good laugh on that one.

Cheney Mason’s part in this mystifies me.
I was listening to a book on CD today (Hell Gate; -Linda Fairstein) wherein the lead character, an asst DA, said that the 1st time DNA evidence was used in trial was in 1987. This caused me to reflect on the upcoming Frye hearings in the Anthony case.
Imagine my surprise when I read this in the Trials & Tribulations blog this evening;
“On October 08, 2010. an article in the Orlando Sentinel had this to say about Mr. Ashton:
In a case now brimming with legal brainpower, the prosecution may have an interesting advantage here: Jeff Ashton. The veteran assistant state attorney helped successfully get DNA findings introduced in a 1987 Orange County rape case.
It was the first time that evidence was ever presented in a U.S. courtroom. Introducing the evidence here all those years ago brought national media attention and, ultimately, broad awareness of a science now used to prove guilt and also exonerate those wrongly accused.”

I’m guessing that many of us already knew this about Mr Ashton, but I didn’t.
Oh, and here’s a link to the Orlando Sentinel article quoted above;

Annals – thanks for the link, made excellent reading. Although I watched the video of the hearing, I could read the report at my own pace instead of having to sit through Bozo’s Bumbling Circus Act (embarassing!). Also answered my own question (7) about Okechobee! I am concerned about Mason’s position in all this though. I just don’t get it. He is the DP qualified Attorney yet he seems to take little or no participation. I have noticed that Mr Ashton has increasingly gotten to his feet over the past few weeks, no slight to LDP but the nearer the date of the trial, the more seriously the Prosecution are taking matters.
Annals, thank you for that link- very informative article. I had not known that about Ashton either… It seems the argument to include any/all the scientific evidence is in good hands. Good to know.
I’m sorry I don’t know how to link to another person’s post, but this is for Ragdoll (Feb.6th 8:14). Reading your logical post brought to mind a very good reason Baez may want to meet in person, as opposed to calling. If money may be changing hands, you wouldn’t want a paper trail (such as a wire transfer, money order, check, etc.). I’m not saying Baez is buying testimony or attempting to sway an expert. I am merely stating one reason that came to my mind. I’m suspicious of Mr. Baez’ motivation due to the money that’s been blown through for Casey’s defense, while seemingly little legal work has been done with little work product to show for it. Factor in his record for missed deadlines, last minute motions, extensive pleas for “more time”, and his inability or unwillingness to complete necessary depos within set limits, and I wonder why he needs the time away from court to go to this conference with his expert. Apparently, Baez and Casey are cut from the same cloth in that both believe: they are above the rules, the rules are meant to be broken; and the end justifies the means. But I’m not concerned, “Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.” -God
Hi Blink, Am I in time out?
Are you having server problems?
The reason I ask, is because several of my posts on this and Morgan’s thread are still showing in moderation.
Sorry about taking up your time, again.
I am having server and serving problems, lol, my friend.
I am on it and will have you up in a jiffy.
Thank you, and you should never appolly for taking up my time, my pleasure.

ISPY – hope someone is ready to investigate JB after this case. His behaviour has been reprensible at best and has/is leaving a very nasty taste in my mouth. Enjoyed your post and had to smile at ‘God’!
!! Reprehensible

Good point. I definitely agree with you on him and Casey being cut from the same cloth. And Baez….man, if he’s slipping the bills in exchange for false testimony, he’s gonna screw that up too. I know he’s quite capable of being deceptive and unethical. For justice sake, I hope he hasn’t taken it THAT far.
He will definitely reap what he has sown. I’m quite sure God wasn’t messin around with scripture. God help him!
Well Jesus rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures. Will Casey rise again? It’s not been prophesied. Is Casey sin free as our Lord was? Thou shall not lie, steal, kill… Does a partying her ass off Mother who tried to con one more day out of Cindy before she went to get Caylee sound like someone who is innocent? Does someone who spends a copious amount of hours leading the men and women of LE on a wild goose chase sound like an innocent person? Does a mother who has never shown one iota of grief for her daughter sound like an innocent person? If you still think Casey is innocent put yourself in her shoes and ask yourself if you would have behaved like she did? Casey will be judged in front of a fair jury of her peers. The decision will rest with them.

I bet Cheney Mason wishes for a lot, right now…. don’t you?
yeah bet he wishs he hadnt ever met the likes of baez
Per WESH – Judge Perry denied a defense motion that hoped to keep any testimony out of the trial that Anthony had a history of lying or stealing. Judge Perry said Rosciano’s statements regarding their intimate encounters could not be used in the trial. Judge Perry granted only a portion of the defense motion regarding Lazzaro and denied the rest. He agreed that the existence of an intimate relationship was not relevant and could not be used, but said that all other aspects of their relationship are allowed. Judge Perry denied the defense motion, saying the My Space posting by Cindy and the Diary can be introduced at the trial. Anthony’s defense hoped to exclude any evidence of Anthony borrowing a shovel from neighbor Brian Burner, but Judge Perry struck down that motion. Perry denied the motion to not admit the tattoo, so it’s in. Judge Perry also said that a Jib Jab video that features Casey Anthony’s head in a Monster Mash video could not be used. Try again Bozo!!!
Hi guys,
Nice to read all of your posts.
Thanks to PhantomAngel for the heads upon the JPerry’s rulings- the actual rulings/motions can be found at this link:

Casey Judge Decides What Evidence Is In, Out
Judge Responds To Several Defense Motions Regarding Evidence
—-
Also at WESH – The State filed a response to the Defense’s motion about the stain in the trunk. (I thought they were going to respond to all remaining motions at once? I guess I misunderstood..)
Unfortunately, WESH has not posted the actual response for reading yet… Here’s the link to the story:
Motion Filed About Stain In Anthony’s Trunk
Defense Wants Evidence Excluded From Trial
snipped
Prosecutors filed new court papers Friday addressing a stain found in Casey Anthony’s car trunk….
In a response to Anthony’s defense motion to exclude any mention of the stain, prosecutors said it is evidence that the child’s body decomposed for several days before Casey Anthony dumped it in the woods….
For their part, Anthony’s defense filed a motion accusing the state of deliberately mishandling several empty containers, including a pizza box found inside a trash bag taken from the trunk….
The defense is asking that, based on the mishandling of the trash, any mention of the so-called smell of death in the car should also be excluded.
oops Sorry, here is the link to The article about The State’s response regarding the stain in the trunk:
