Orlando, Fl– Jim Hoover, one of the private detectives that had been working for the Anthony family and by way of Dominick Casey also Jose Baez and Casey Anthony was deposed yesterday in the Zenaida Gonzalez Civil Suit.
Attorney for Zenaida Gonzalez, John Morgan, questioned Hoover for over three hours with the PI becoming visibly un nerved when faced with questions he did not wish to answer. Hoover arrived at the deposition at the law offices of Morgan and Morgan without an attorney. At one point, the self-proclaimed 35 year veteran private investigator requested to stop the deposition and he would get a lawyer.
“..Part of Private Investigations is that it is private.. Is that question relevant to this? How is that relevant? We should probably just stop this and I’ll get a lawyer.”
For most of the 3.5 hour deposition Hoover was fidgeting in his chair and when Morgan asked questions that were clearly uncomfortable for him, he seemed evasive. Morgan asked Hoover if he had memory problems:
..What celebrity were you a bodyguard for?.. Do you not remember or you don’t want to answer the question? See.. if I was a bodyguard for Oprah Winfrey, I would remember that.. By the way, this is the easy part..”
As previously reported exclusively on Blinkoncrime, Hoover admitted that Dominick Casey told him that either Jose Baez, attorney to tot mom Casey Anthony, or Casey herself was paid between $200–$225K for image rights by abc. When asked who he felt Dominic Casey was on the phone with, he said he was never told but that he always thought it was Lee Anthony. Hoover was never asked to perform any investigative work into any person named Zenaida Gonzalez at any time during his tenure with the Anthony’s.
Orlando, Fl– It was announced yesterday afternoon that Jose Baez, defense counsel to murderous tot mom Casey Anthony will be in court this morning at 10:30am EST to address the motion brought by the Prosecution to uncover the source of funding in Casey’s defense.
The hearing will be live, and a live feed can be found here .
Since the announcement of the State’s Motion, several legal analysts have weighed in on the signfigance to the murder case against Casey. While opinions vary greatly as to support of the motion within the legal community, one conclusion seems to be unanimous: It will be a critical blow to the defense if it is granted.
Orlando, FL- The State’s Attorney’s Office released the newest round of discovery evidence previously released to defense counsel to tot mom, Jose Baez, Wednesday.
The interviews released include interviews with Shirley Pleasea, Cameron “Cam Cam”Campion, roommate to Tony Lazzarro, PI Dominick Casey, a co-worker of Cindy Anthony and a man that smoked pot with indicted murder suspect Casey Anthony. In the Investigative Reports, a man that lost his wallet in the general area was interviewed as well.
Among the information learned, it appears the most startling revelation comes from the interview with Shirley Pleasea, Mother of Cindy Anthony and Grandmother to Casey Anthony. She indicated that although Casey had stolen money from her on numerous occasions, she used the money in August 2007 to pay for a cake and party favors for Caylee’s 2 Year Birthday Celebration.
Also revealed during the August 21 Interview with OCSO, Mrs. Pleasea told Investigators that Casey had stolen ,000 from her mother Cindy, possibly through taking out credit cards in Cindy’s name. Casey’s father George also took out credit cards in Cindy’s name without her knowledge according to Cindy Anthony’s Mother.
The most damning comment offered by Mrs. Pleasea, was when she wondered allowed if Casey hated Cindy more than she loved Caylee.

Orlando, FL– As we await the latest document dumps and Florida Bar Inquiry Response on Jose Baez’s behalf by his counsel, Timothy Chinaris, and in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we focus on the SHAMROCK.
(noun) slang, an underage female who not only insists that she is the age of majority, but tries at great lengths to snare older men for experience. Or in this case, several, of any age and any occupation.
(Verb)
(1) To screw someone over; scam.
(2) To inflict severe injury upon someone as leverage to facilitate the extortion of money.
“Shamrock” is most frequently encountered in the passive, as in, “you have been shamrocked.
ie: You believe a woman that says an imaginary babysitter took her child a month earlier. She is found 6 months later in a garbage bag by her home. You have been “shamrocked”.
ie: You made donations you thought were going to finding a missing 34 month old Florida girl, Caylee Anthony. You have been “shamrocked”.
The Shamrock Lanyard
According to Cindy Anthony’s statement to detectives, Lee recovered the lanyard with Casey’s backpack:
“…There was one thing missing that I had in a bag and I made mention of that… Casey had a lanyard (this was in her work bag- there was no clothing bag) in her work bag that had Amy’s resumes in there – cuz it had an envelop with Amy’s resumes. Casey had a lanyard that had the Universal Studios ID- her original one from when she worked at Kodak, there’s a shamrock with white beads on it with a big one… it was not there the next day. It was there that night, but not there the next day. Casey was never left alone to go get that. Because Lee and I walked her into her bedroom, when we came home that night. Walked her right past everything. She didn’t even know what we/I had taken out of the car. Cuz I had it over by the washer and dryer and I have an ice chest we have setting off to the side. From the point when we called 911 she was never left alone by deputies. So she couldn’t have taken it out. Lee didn’t take it. I didn’t take it. It was missing by the time people came back to take the car and the stuff that was in it. Because I left it in her bag. When I went back to the bag to write the stuff down on the sheet, it wasn’t there. So somebody took it that Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. It had to be (LE) but it wasn’t listed in the items. Someone had to have taken it. If you guys have it, it should have been with the stuff.
You would have taken it w/out my knowledge…”
Translation: We are going to see this lanyard again. Whether it has been recovered already in evidence and it has not been made public or it comes up in some nefarious finger pointing way, this will be the crux of the next blame game. Recall that Sean Daly gets the call late night of the 15th that he misses, and the lanyard goes poof according to Cindy. Could this be why:
Yes, you guessed it, this lanyard was worn by none other than BFF to Casey, and on the Guest List for her trial, tentatively scheduled for October 12, 2009, Sean Daly. Pictured Below is Sean and friends at last March’s Lake Vaj O’ Blast.
Not the Lanyard, and inside sources say is also missing, what really hung on her rear view.
My apologies in advance for those of us that when reflecting on the image of the beloved *shamrock* today; it is in no longer our symbol of all that is Irish goodness and luck. But instead, the back tat of a woman urinating in a parking lot and possibly the fodder for use in getting out of a murder rap for her child.
Uh-oh. John Morgan, attorney for Zenaida Gonzalez in her civil defamation suit against Casey Anthony filed a motion to compel this afternoon.
Morgan and co-counsel Keith Mitnick want Lee Anthony to answer the two questions he was advised against answering during his February 27th deposition:
Do you know who Caylee’s Father Is?
Do you think your sister is responsible for her daughter’s disappearance?
Thanks to Good Ol’ YouTube, we already know that one of those questions he has the answer to, and moreover, he L I E D during his deposition.
“We will never release the name of that person who has passed away, whose family who had knowledge that he was even the Father..
“If I know she’s gotta know, she told me..” This is not new news to us, we have known for years..”
In his deposition testimony on February 27th, when asked by John Morgan if he thought Caylee’s father could have something to do with her disappearance, he answered “If I knew that door would have been knocked down a long time ago, You couldnt stop me from it..”
