Casey Anthony Murder Trial: Chief Defense Witness Bill Rodriguez Perjurs Himself- OUT HE GOES- .. Ashton Spits Out Spitz… Blink Discuss Live Tonight On Dana Pretzer Show (Podcast Added)

Orlando, FL-  The Ninth Circuit of Orange County is beginning to look like their own decay facility.

If your watching the murder trial of Casey Anthony, for the murder of her daughter Caylee as the defense is presenting their case in chief,  you are watching Jose Baez et al building their own THE BODY FARM, of defense witnesses, that is.

The Body farm

For those of you who wish to maintain your decorum and have been advised to remove sharp objects from your reach, I offer the Blink hilight reel.

Fly In The Ointment.. Or Chew Lugie

Dr. Timothy Huntington, who was the defense entymologist expert , swarmed in, stating that the flies and larvae were attracted to the contents of the trash bag.  In short, his opinion was the blowflies, known for their ability to smell “happy hour” within seconds, were nearly absent from the trunk, and that the ones found were attracted to whatever decomposing food products, or garbage, that were NOT present.

Yep,  I said NOT present.  Jeff Ashton opened the evidence of the soda can reflecting no chew spit, and the “salami” packaging which actually held a piece of paper disguised as a food item, apparently.

Dr. Huntington’s “pigs not in blankets” experiment, where he had someone kill pigs and stash them in the trunks of various cars to prove the rate and amount of blowflies present in contrast to those found in the trunk of the Pontiac Sunfire, forgot to duplicate conditions in anyway, specifically, double trash bags wrapped in a laundry bag.  Dr. Huntington was forced to admit he has zero relevant experience in this area.

Like a moth to the flame, State Attorney Jeff Ashton drew Huntington into his “web of truth”.  Huntington, for purposes of this piece, was not at all comfortable on the prosecutorial flypaper; he said it “rides up” after a while.

It is not known if  Dr. Huntington left any puparia in his seat when he was excused from the witness box.

From Founder To Flounder In Taphonomic Wikigate

William Rodriguez, Phd, the defense expert in taphonomy, or the study of decaying organisms over time through fossilization has an impressive resume.

founder-  one that founds or establishes

flounder (v)-  to make clumsy attempts to regain one’s balance.

The good Dr, under oath, claimed to be a co-founder of  infamous THE BODY FARM in open court.

Not according to THE BODY FARM, or it’s actual founder, Dr. Bill Bass.

Dr. Rodriguez was already a subject of contention, or possible contEMPTion,  for drastically altering the opinion and findings he reported, versus what he is now prepared to testify to, thus violating Judge Perry’s order for what is now going to be the third time.

However, it is a whole different animal to claim a co-founder status, than the actuality, which was a teaching assistant, and at times,  window washer.

Because the State of Florida believes Rodriguez’s change in testimony is in effect a discovery violation, Judge Perry has since reserved ruling on the infraction until the trial’s conclusion.

Wait till he hears this BOMBSHELL.

Immediately Prior to Publication Update:  Rodriguez is OUT.  Details To Follow

Shoddy Is As Shoddy Does

By far, one of the more painful witness cross-examinations to date,  Werner Spitz, MD, was like flying coach to Thailand seated next to a newborn with an ear infection,  that has run out of booze in the first hour.

Dr. Spitz’s obsession with his pocket-cranial saw for all occasions not withstanding,  his testimony under cross, following a celebrated 56 year forensic pathology career involving the Assasinations of  President JFK and Dr. Martin Luther King was an affront to the profession, period.

At one point, he referred to the autopsy conducted by Jan Garavaglia, of “Dr. G” fame, as “shoddy” because she did not remove the “cap” of the skull, and therefore could not see the brain; although little Caylee Anthony’s remains were completely skeletonized with no soft tissue whatsoever.

When Dr. Spitz told the jury that he believed that the reason the mandibular bone appeared almost in full articular placement was because the duct tape was placed “on the left side only” after the toddler was completely decomposed, jurors were observed actually smirking at the man.

He was unaware there were 3 separate strips of duct tape affixed, and overall seemed to defy most Medico Legal Investigation of Death protocol in unnatural death investigation ,  which sadly, he is actually the co-author of.

Career, Interrupted.

Definitely A Fortnight…. Yes For Sure… Maybe Not

Dr. Jane Bock, the defense botany expert, as I have covered exclusively previously, is a lovely woman and accomplished professor.

She was also the benefactor of  Jeff Ashton’s gentlemanly handling of her testimony during cross examination this afternoon.

Dr. Bock went from the sublime to the ridiculous in her assertion that Caylee could have completely skeletonized, and grown herself a “root wrap” via her Pooh blanket.  Mr. Ashton was kinder than I would have been, to his credit, and to my “note to self about humility”, because I have written about her prior case work and it would have been entirely relevant as an impeachment item.  That said, I will follow his lead.

With no personal disrespect intended whatsoever to these “experts”, professionally, you betcha,  I have to ask,  did Jose Baez pull these folks out of a matinee complete with the AARP discount for a COCOON screening?

How is it, these seemingly accomplished, highly educated forensic professionals with career paths the envy of many a grad student,  were willing to throw their credentials behind such ludicrous opinions that were completely unsubstantiated by findings or evidence,  simply to have their names associated with this case. Make no mistake, that is exactly what happened here.

Being an expert defense witness, real or perceived in this case, makes going into one’s twilight  a solid 401K extender.

Blink discussing witnesses and developments after press-time LIVE tonight on THE DANA PRETZER SHOW.

    wooooow Is this how Cindy and George don’t think KC is innocent? I call crap on Cindy doing searches on pc. Now she’s saying she can be off and it says she’s working. I hope they charge her with perjury and she’s thrown in the slammer with her precious Casey!!!!!!

  2. Dellastreet says:

    Here we go….just as I thought…..Cindy is lying to cover for Casey once again. A leopard never changes it’s spots. Likewise, people don’t change only situations do. They are both going to lie and cover.

    Hello all.

    IMO0

    Jose Baez is not endearing- He seems to me, to be a petulant, self absorbed, door to door sales man, who is trying very hard with as little effort as possible, to sell his “wares” to the jury.

    ——–

    You are spot on, Mom!!! Endearing, NO! SMARMY, YES!!!!!

  4. jane says:

    MY mother always said “A leopard never changes it’s spots” and Cindy is a liar….was a liar and always will be a liar.

    She just said she was the one searching for chloroform in March and her hours were inconsistent at work……Sorry once a liar …always a liar

  5. WPG says:

    LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. lizzy says:

    If Cindy is now saying the dead body must have been in the car before they bought it, and that she ran home to search for chlorophyl/chloroform, then I take BACK what I posted earlier.

    What about neck breaking? Was she searching for that to protect Caylee, too?

    I am about to be physically ill.
    B

  7. susan2 says:

    Come on Karma……..fast and furious!!!

  8. JEN says:

    Oh, Cindy. What must our angel Caylee be thinking of you right now?

  9. Riverpearl says:

    Here will go…Baez has called Cindy Anthony … and computer searches … Cindy is saying SHE LOOKED up cholorfill and than chloroform in March 2008…[Q I'd ask --84 times you looked up chloroform???] !!!
    …and chest injuries due to a “friend” having an accident…

    OMG… and now she wasn’t working during “those” searches as previously entered in evidence…

    Her voice is “shaking”… and biting her lip… and Casey is watching rather intently…

    OMG … Baez w/ photo of trunk & Cindy saying THE STAIN was in the trunk when they bought it!!!

    MO this is “what” the Anthony’s lawyer meant ““They love her, they support her and they do not want her to get the death penalty and ===>they will do all they can to avoid her getting the death penalty in this case.”<===

  10. jane says:

    Blink is there anything to done with Cindy for lying on the stand Dam I am pissed I knew she was a liar I just knew it
    She will throw George under

    Uh Oh she just said about Caseys check charges She brought it up

  11. jane says:

    Cindy remembers seeing a pop up about neck breaking from three years ago

  12. c10 says:

    Blink and all… let it be noted – that on the afternoon of 6/23/11, before george has a chance, cindy anthony dutifully falls on the sword…Blink, WTF???????? WOOOOWWWWW

  13. jane says:

    alcohol, peroxide but nurse Cindy Please give me a break

    What a freakin liar

    Blink Help PLEASE

    I am not sure what you want me to say?

    Apples and Trees.

    Expect to see suplemental discovery filed, and expect for this “bereaved grandmother” to be on the stand answering a new batch of questions.

    Should be interesting to hear any comments from her attorney, if he has not been added to the pile by day’s end.

    B

  14. Riverpearl says:

    Boy, oh boy, the “apple does not fall far from the tree…”

    Any one have any “question WHERE ICA learned to LIE just need to listen to CA on the “witness stand” today.”

    IMO CA has practiced & listend to State Q’ing & Defense & boy, she is NOT that bundle of “nerves” that she has shown on the witness stand before … oh, now she is claiming “pop ups” w/ “neck breaking” …

    Well folks, any one still wondering WHAT all those notes she has been taking as she sits in the back of the courtroom ….

    IMO CA is really “working for reasonable doubt now that she is claiming it was ALL her” …

    AJMO

  15. jane says:

    This is an ambush by the Anthony’s and Baez and I thought you dont lie on the witness stand after taking an oath not to lie and speak the truth

  16. c10 says:

    God please someone step in and save her from herself!!!!! cindy this is NOT what Caylee deserves!!! ah what the hell… go get her LDB, for Caylee’s sake, all bets off cindy – i am now rendered speechless, i’m going off to throw up…

  17. Charlotte says:

    Oh my, there went our hope for Cindy fighting for Justice for Caylee. Back up to her old tricks

  18. sdmike1974 says:

    Blink,

    Is there a way to find the newest thread on your website (at any given time) for the Casey Anthony Murder Trial?

    Or better yet, which threads have new comments in them for the current day.

    I was at the link below and discovered there were no new comments for today (Thursday). So I was left wondering, “Gee where are commenters posting now?”

    http://blinkoncrime.com/2011/06/14/cayleecasey-anthony-trial-judge-calls-the-defense-liars-and-the-prosecution-resurrects-the-fumblerooski/#comments

    Have you set the RSS feed? On twitter?

  19. WPG says:

    I cannot stand her!!!!

    Linda looked at her right in the eyes as she walked by.

    It ain’t over . . . the State will bring in rebuttal witnesses and evidence – - – PERJURY!

    Perjury on the grave of her granddaughter!

    Their lawyer pats her on the back!!!!

  20. SSDD says:

    I’ve been lurking here for a week or so and finally decided to comment. As I sit here and listen to Cindy perjure herself to save her sociopath of a daugther, I just want to scream. I doubt that they will be able to get her on it though. I can’t even imagine how angry Jeff Ashton and Linda Drane-Burdick are right now.

    I think we are going to hear from many folks formerly lurking today.

    B

  21. WPG says:

    Sorry . . . I have been waiting nearly 3 years for the Ant’s lies to be shown in a court of law.

  22. cherylz says:

    I always stood up for the A’s. Made excuses they were grieving and in denial…but not anymore. CA should be totally ashamed of herself. Her judgement awaits her. And, it is coming from a Higher power.

  23. Tarheel says:

    Will the prosecution now supeana (however you spell that?) Cindy’s supervisor or backup information from Cindy’s computers? I was almost starting to feel sorry for Cindy…not anymore. Disgusting!

  24. mikki says:

    With ‘ya Blink. We’re all physically ill now.

  25. Anniex9 says:

    My 15 year old stepson walked into the room for just a moment of Cindy Anthony’s testimony this afternoon and almost immediately said “She’s lying, isn’t she?” I hope the jury sees through her as well.

  26. susan2 says:

    Let me see if I have this correct. George let Caylee drown in the pool and then Cindy chloroformed her in the trunk? These people deserve to have no friends, no jobs, no peace and no life absent from hell everyday for the rest of their natural lives.

  27. pale rider says:

    Cindy, Cindy, Cindy, I’m so sad to see you doing this – another injustice to beautiful little Caylee.

  28. c10 says:

    back from throwing up, that was quick right? can’t stand this Blink and all… there is no way the State doesn’t know for sure cindy was at work – nice try cindy, you bleep, bleep, bleep…..way to slice and dice yourself in front of the jury, – They have to be thinking WTF, what’s wrong with this picture? EVERYTHING folks – convict them all

  29. NLB says:

    Cindy just accused her former employer Gentiva of a serious crime, that she was required to lie on her time card and not report overtime. If this is NOT true (any bets?) couldn’t they could file charges or sue? Also Isn’t having time on your card when you are at home theft?

    Also my heart is breaking for Caylee right now.

  30. Riverpearl says:

    CA is saying “she does NOT know IF she looked up chloroform 84 times…”

    And now she continues w/the stain “that has ALWAYS been in the trunk” …

    ICA looks “comfortable & pleased w/the testimony her mother just gave the court” ….

    BLINK, is “has this been the Anthony plan all along???”

    IMO the tactics of this, the sheer tactics are mind boggling to say the least w/o using a whole lota %*&@ in its place…

    IMO a 2-year old, named Caylee Marie & the people who were suppose to love her & claim they do — are selling her out w/this horrible, horrible behavior/conduct/’testimony’ …

    In all truth. I feel physically ill.

    IMO Cindy’s has now completely, totally “sold her soul to the devil.”

    AJMO

  31. JannyFay says:

    We have to just believe that justice will be done for Caylee Marie Anthony.

  32. mikki says:

    Cindy — how could you? HOW COULD YOU??? To lie like that. On the stand. So obviously.

    OH, if there was a search than I know I was home. Uh huh…

    You remember the neck breaking pop-up? Really?

    Your work records on two occasions for a sudden afternoon off are incorrect? Right.

    The car was stained when you bought it? Right.

    The computer was always left on so you can explain that you were under Casey’s log-in? Right.

    You searched for Chloroform and “how to make it” popped up? But you don’t recall ever entering those words into a search engine field?? You don’t recall? Why would you do it merely because it supposedly popped up below the search field in response to your chlorophyll search??

    Sorry for the rant… so VERY frustrated and so VERY upset with this woman’s efforts to lie under oath in an attempt to save her daughter — or an attempt to make-up for the attorney’s comments that the Anthony’s don’t believe Casey is innocent… so VERY FRUSTRATED!

  33. nana2 says:

    Not sure why the surprise over Cindy’s new testimony today this was expected. Cindy always cleaned up Casey’s problems Casey could make problems but could never clean them up; which is why Cindy was the first person she went to & told about her pregnancy but Cindy couldn’t make that go away. On the day Caylee passed away the person she tried to contact the most & couldn’t was Cindy & I feel its because she needed Cindy to once again help clean up her problem. I’m sure that the state subpeoned Cindy’s computer records from her job back in 2008 to show her pc use those days she said she left her job early. When I worked we were not permitted to manipulate our time cards if you were there you indicated it if you were not there that was indicated also any deviation on that was considered ‘a manipulation of the banks records & fraud’. Didn’t they depose Cindy’s supervisors about her work schedule during that time frame ? Hate lying..

  34. jane says:

    Why doesn’t Linda nail her Why Blink Please Blink come back

    Because you never spar in a foreign stadium. Rebuttal.
    B

  35. Kaysey says:

    I am beside myself!!!! I retract any sympathetic kinds words I could ever FINALLY muster up to say, think, or feel for that crazy woman Cinday Anthony! Talk about morally bankrupt……poor poor Caylee! Sadly, she really and truly never stood a chance!

  36. Carole says:

    Im stunned… saddened , upset.. The Anthonys all of them need to all be in jail.

    Caylee lil Caylee bless your little soul.. The Good Lord knew that he needed to take you .away from all the insanity ..Lord works in mysterious ways ..!

  37. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Cindy is lying on the stand. LDB just set her up by asking what browser she used. Cindy’s reply was “I don’t know what you mean”. “My computer was always on”.

    Sociopaths may have a gene problem. It has not been proven. However, from my experience, a sociopath or pathological liar is developed by emulating a parent or older siblings behavior. Here we have Cindy rambling away on the questions even when requested to just give a yes or no answer. Without any doubt, I think that it has been proven that Casey was emulating Cindy’s behavior from the time she was a small child. The difference IMO between Cindy and Casey is that Casey has a mean streak that manifests itself from time to time.

    LBD never got a real answer to the question regarding Cindy’s memory being improved or different from 2009 because of a change in medication.

    Cindy could not remember the car dealer that the Sunfire was purchased from in 2000, but she could remember the carpet stain in the trunk lining shown in the photo as “B” as being there when it was purchased. What a crock!

    I have no idea why LBD did not proceed to impeach Cindy at this point. Maybe she feels sorry for her.

    ATG-

    She did not continue cross because she will handle this on rebuttal. I think this is a huge misfire.

    Know what I think? I think this jury just decided why Casey is a pathological liar.

    In her DNA.

    B

  38. nana2 says:

    Cindy also just stated under oath that she was a salaried employee & if that’s the case then her statement about her employer not wanting OT & that’s why she altered her time card was a farce because salaried employees don’t get OT only hourly paid employees do. Hate liars.

  39. c10 says:

    so if i get this right, cindy wants the jury to believe: she possibily took a couple days off in March 2008, to sit around checking random sh*t online, little dog was sick or something so she looked up chlorophyll and/or chloroform – 84 times, blah, blah, wouldn’t any normal person Call The G*d Dmn Vet???? who reasonably would lah dee dah on computer checking this out – must not love her dog much – stupid, oh and looked up medical stuff cuz friend got in accident? did i hear that right? and remembers a neck breaking skateboard trick of some sort – trust me, a liar you are, just not a good one cindy – you should be ashamed of yourself

  40. pale rider says:

    So Cindy, you say (pp) “no password on the desktop computer”? Detective Sandra Osborne states there was indeed a password – rico23!! That would be Casey’s profile naturally!

  41. jane says:

    I dont think I can take much more Three years of the lying is too much to take

    HLN said TREMENDOUS MONUMENTAL DAY FOR DEFENSE

    God help us all

  42. nana2 says:

    @ pale rider

    I think “Rico23″ is a user profile not a password.

    There were 2 user profiles on the PC one was Casey’s & the other was the “Rico23″, which I think was George’s since George was a cop & Rico could refer to the Rico Law & 23 could reference a birth date of someone..

  43. StephG says:

    Blink ,
    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me that you think the state will move forward and charge Cindy Anthony with perjury!!!! How could they NOT at this point??? THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF PERJURY!!!!!

    http://blinkoncrime.com/2011/06/23/casey-anthony-trial-the-state-discovers-the-elusive-17th-allele-bombshell-discovery-of-the-deuchebag-chromosome-belongs-to-bereaved-gram-cindy-anthony/

  44. raceyrin says:

    Cindy already made these statements way back when, she can’t change them now. And how do they know if she did do the searches that casey didn’t look up search histories and expand on them once they piqued her interest ? I don’t believe Cindy of course…

  45. PhantomAngel says:

    36.PhantomAngel says:
    June 23, 2011 at 12:06 pm
    Help me out please. Brian Burner said in his statement that a tall young man in green truck was at Cindy’s with Casey around the time Caylee was killed. Who is this? What does this man have to do with Caylee? Thanks!

    Heavily inked as well, I believe.
    B

    Blink How important is he and why have we heard nothing about it>?

  46. PamVA says:

    Cindy is making us all angry, yes. But honestly we all expected her to go this route. And if we expected it, rest assured the state expected itl And there is no doubt in my mind they’ve prepared long and hard for it. They are playing chess. They are drawing the defense out and they will zap them all on rebuttal. I have a feeling this will be the moment LDB has waited for for 3 long years. Be patient and have faith. Even though it’s extremely hard!

  47. susan2 says:

    If Cindy is reading here………Put that notebook down. You have just possibly become the 2nd most hated person on this earth. No one cares about a book you are writing. If you can lie under oath, then I’m sure any book you would write would be entirely fiction. Not interested. Will wait for Linda or Jeff or Blink to write an honest version.

  48. nana2 says:

    Can’t wait until the defense calls George wonder what his new story will be..

  49. Kit317 says:

    Blink you are right daily lurker for years and first post. The Cindy Anthony house cleaning plan. No one likes a liar. My house is in worse shape when the state is doing well. I have 100 percent faith in LDB and Jeff Ashton. I am sure they have subpeoned Cindy’s work records already…..keepin’ the faith!
