Orlando, FL- Judge Perry calls the defense team Liars- Not a good sign. Yesterday, during Chief Judge Perry’s announcement to the jury about the tentative schedule for the remainder of the murder trial against Casey Anthony, defense counsel Cheney Mason objected and asked for a sidebar.
Mason: We don’t have any obligation to put on any evidence at all. and you just told the jurors you expect us to be putting on evidence, and we may or we may not.
Mason went on to request that the Judge instruct the jury that they are not obligated to put on a defense, and claimed Jeff Ashton agreed with him.
Chief Judge Perry: Then Y’all lied to me.
Mason:NO. Chief Judge Perry: “Yes the Hell you did…” If you don’t put on any evidence, then I will do that.
Mason: Well, we are, so don’t worry about it.
Chief Judge Perry: ..” I will take I cannot trust one thing your side says, anymore.
Heh? I would like to give the benefit of the doubt to his honor, as I did not believe a word this defense had to say going into this trial, let alone 3 weeks later. The State, after establishing what they believe is the origin of the disappearing heart residue on the duct tape came from stickers in the drawer with Caylee’s birth announcements, and re-calling Cindy Anthony for a little light impeachment is headed to the finish line tomorrow.
*Insert defense’s motion for mistrial late today* Denied.
To those of you, and there are many, screaming from the hilltops.. “Is that all you got?” “OMG, is this girl gonna walk?” “What about Dr. Hall?” “How the Hell is Dominick Casey getting out of testifying?” I say chillax. This prosecution team is simply resurrecting the F U M B L E R O O S K I.
The State of Florida, has ALWAYS known this case is going to verdict on THE LAST WORD from the prosecution, or the rebuttal portion of the trial.
Given the defense’s opening statement, there is no question in my mind, nor should there be in yours, that the ludicrous allegations made on the first day, cannot possibly be brought to bear, and while the prosecutions case in chief was meticulous, it is not the “barn burner” for a reason.
Linda Drane Burdick is going to leave that ball on the field for a spell. Ashton will surreptitiously pick it up and head to the end zone unchallenged.
After all, that play did originate at the Orange Bowl.
Orlando, FL- I know, everyone was looking for my analysis for the week on some of the most influential forensics evidence and experts to date. You will have to wait. I could simply not let this go. Jose Baez, defense counsel for accused Filicidial frequent fornicator Casey Anthony is concerned his client might be viewed as a lesbian by the jury based on some photos in evidence.
I can’t take it. I thought I could, I thought I could keep it objective. I admit it, he is a Barristerific Baffoon Extroirdinaire.
This defendant, this woman, with multiple simultaneous male sexual partners, an unknown baby daddy, the prosecution bases it’s case on the fact that she has a new boyfriend she is willing to kill her child over, and this is HIS REACTION?
“I would just lay out for our argument that any photos that would implicate or insinuate in any way that my client is a lesbian through the dancing she is doing with this other woman…”
It is maddening what an oaf this guy is with respect to being charged with saving a defendant’s life. Having a jury perceive Casey as a lesbian is like Christmas in June for his client. Not a lot of cases of lesbian-motivated filicide out there, and what is, is likely to be a new suspect for this suspect generating camp.
At that point Perry cuts him off and asks, “Have you been to nightclubs in the last three or four years?”
Baez says he has been, but noted that the average age of the jurors is 50 and that some members “would be extremely offended” by the image.
This from the business owner turned attorney of the now defunct Brazillian Bikini online store.
Seriously.
Blink is LIVE Tonight, Discussing the Casey Anthony Trial on the Dana Pretzer Show, Scared Monkeys Radio.
In the latest developments in the life of the accused murderer ToT- Mom Casey Anthony, The Federal Government wants in on the action. According To TMZ, The Internal Revenue Service has filed a Tax Lien against Casey Anthony for failing to pay ,000 in taxes for the year 2008.
It is unclear if she was audited, but she definitely filed a tax return in 2008. I guess crime really doesn’t pay, at least the government.
Orlando, FL- Unedited Statement On behalf of Roy Kronk, sent to www.blinkoncrime.com for Immediate Release.
STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF ROY KRONK
Yesterday the Casey Anthony defense team, in its opening statement, suggested that Roy Kronk was somehow involved in the placement and disposition of the remains of Caylee Anthony. This defense theory regarding Mr. Kronk is completely false. The suggestion that Mr. Kronk took possession of Caylee’s remains is totally lacking in logic or explanation. It did not happen.
Roy Kronk is and remains a private citizen whose sole connection to the Anthony case is that he, among all those searching, located the remains of Caylee Anthony and immediately, and repeatedly, reported his find to local law enforcement. He has provided sworn statements to law enforcement, a sworn deposition to the defense, and will provide sworn testimony at trial. He has been truthful throughout.
In their unrelenting search to conjure up villains to deflect attention from Casey Anthony, the defense team has tried repeatedly to cast Roy Kronk in the role of bad guy, even to the extent of making statements about him on national television that they knew to be false.
As he has done from the outset, Mr. Kronk will hold his head high and continue to speak the truth about what he found and will trust in the judicial system to reach a just result in this case.
Orlando, FL- I know I should really write in chronological order for y’all that are just reading the days events. I just can’t.
In the first day of the trial of the State of Florida v. Casey Anthony I went through a “Steel Magnolias” equivalent of tissues the first half, and proceeded to sharpen our Henkels in the afternoon for reasons I cannot explain.
Linda Drane Burdick, in her smart and gas-can-red suit, riveted the jurors, the public, and even the defendant, Casey Anthony.
Ms. Anthony shook her head no at all the places she does not want you to look. Ms. Anthony cried on cue.
Very upsetting this business of your daughter’s skull in a bog where you left it, with the intention of never seeing it again, and all the nastiness that comes with such an imposition.
In a most level and calculated fashion, Burdick took us through the timeline with resolve. While none of us ever really wanted to get to the “end”, we did, and she is right, there is no other that had access to the evidence in this case.
Asking this jury to find a verdict of guilty is going to be like asking who wants ice cream on the way back home.
Enter famed Mayberry Attorney Barney Fife, I mean self-proclaimed “Juanie Cochran” , Jose Baez after lunch with his clients proclamation that Caylee Marie Anthony died on June 16, 2008 while both Casey and George were present, by an accidental drowning in the above-ground swimming pool.
That was just the start of the delusion for public consumption. If you did not raise your glass and look at the bottom in the light, you were not paying close enough attention. Am I really hearing this? Is there something in my water?
Kronk was kronked again, and accused of hiding Caylee’s remains from some unknown place, but ending up in the Suburban junkmess; and motivation for a reward as opposed to relieving himself was the reason he came upon her tiny skull.
Through her attorney, Casey Anthony did exactly what I have said she would do. She blamed George for not reporting Caylee’s death and Cindy for leaving the ladder up to the pool , and wept while Baez told us all that Casey was sexually abused from the age of 8.
Masterfully and Mercifully, Jeff Ashton laid down the hammer in response. George Anthony was called as the States first witness. (more…)
