Orlando, FL– I swear on my Blinkette’s, at no time, did I ever picture the word that rhymes with “euchebag” if you add a D, would appear in a title on my site. Today’s testimony by Academy Of Parental Enablers Resulting in Toddler Death President (AOPERTDP), Cindy Anthony , took the strand. I said strand on purpose. I am convinced the elusive 17th allele comes from her. I daydream she left it on the shovel by attempting to dig herself a hole following the conclusion of her filicidic daughter’s trial.
No such luck. This former Gentiva Supervisor, Licensed by the state of Florida as a registered nurse, now thinks she may have been home on the days of March 17th and March 21st and her former employer, required her and other salaried employees to falsify their timecards in an agency subject to HIPAA regulations.
Mrs. Anthony, although it would mean she came home for less than 30 minutes on both days, if she indeed returned to work, brought her own smell of decomposition. Decomposition of her loyalty to the legacy of her 34 month old grandbaby, Caylee Marie. By the time of this publication, I have requested comment from John Camperlengo, Gentiva Chief Compliance Officer, and will post upon reply.
UPDATE: The Following Is the Reply I received from Senior Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel to Gentiva, John Camperlengo, published with permission.
Thanks for your note. As a matter of policy, Gentiva does not comment on matters being litigated before the courts. What we can tell you is Gentiva complies with all relevant Federal and State regulations, rules and guidelines concerning patient and staff records. And we cooperate fully with responsible authorities when requested to aid them in research in investigations.Best Regards,John
O and Cindy, thanks for bringing up your concerns about the dogs eating bamboo leaves. Further computer forensic scrutiny shows that the dogs were PRECLUDED from being in the backyard as a result. Which, Casey knew, and certainly strongly assissted in avoiding detection of her granddaughter’s remains in her playhouse for days. Not to creepy, not to soul-less, right? Did the Baez/Rosebud braintrust consider they gave the jury exactly what they needed to explain Casey Anthony’s alternative universe and fancy for pathological lying? Apples and Trees, as we say in Jersey. God Rest this child in your loving care, which begining June 16th, is the only loving care that has mattered.
(Editor’s Note: I apologize in advance for offending any readers with my editorial, I am a victim’s avocate before a journalist anyday.)
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.
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.
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.
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…)
Orlando, FL- Exactly three years to the day that Casey Anthony met her former boyfriend- turned- informant Anthony Lazzarro, and whom many observers believe was the reason Casey Anthony allegedly murdered her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, the trial of the State of Florida v Casey Anthony begins.
Talk about a prophetic date. Instead of a Rapture it is more like a Rupture.
The road to perdition has never been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.
Albert Einstein
Someone is not telling their client that Florida has gotten pretty bullish on sentencing it’s young murderesses to death.
Tiffany Ann Cole, Margaret Allen, and Emilia Carr all have an impending date with a needle, and the ladies of lechery have been sentenced in the last 4 years.
In fact, the second most recent female resident on Florida’s death row, Emilia Carr, accused her Dad of sexual abuse, AND he was convicted of plotting to kill HER years later as a result; the jury gave little weight to either issue.
If Casey Anthony is convicted, and especially if she is sentenced to die by lethal injection, Emilia will be Casey’s new *muffin*.. flush.
I would like to point out that none of these murders were that of a helpless 34 month old at the hands of her own Mother, which in many Floridians minds, is the worst of the worst.
Twelve Jurors, seven women and five men, unless one of 5 alternates is needed, will decide the fate of Casey Anthony.
Depicted affectionately below as monkeys, in dedication to our sister site and forum www.scaredmonkeys.net, but most importantly, to the families living without them so they may serve justice on behalf of Caylee Anthony, www.blinkoncrime.com salutes you today.
Opening arguments begin at 9AM. Without question, outside of deliberation, this is the most important day of this trial.
Chief Judge Belvin Perry promised to rule on 2 outstanding motions by her defense team today.
Update #1 4:45PM.. Motion to exclude trunk stain… D E N I E D
Rulings on Critical Motions regarding a hair with a "deathband" that could only belong to a deceased individual and either Casey or Caylee Anthony, and the air samples tested by Dr. Arpad Vass and found to contain chloroform levels he has never seen, in his 22 year career.
The air samples themselves are not in contention as the "hardware" and methodology in their extraction are used widely in the scientific community, and the defense team, through a stipulation agreement to withdraw contempt proceedings against him, could not argue about anything else. The defense argument was largely about the interpretation of the data that was yielded from the samples as they relate to a decompositional event in the trunk of Casey's car.
Both motions were a combination of a Frye/exclusion attempt by the defense that took several days in court to conclude, in which many observers felt were disorganized and poorly argued in contrast to the deft responses by the prosecution.
Yesterday, for the second time, Jose Baez on behalf of Casey Anthony filed a response to the State's motion to let his already withdrawn "experts" Dr. Danzinger and Dr. Weis be permitted to testify as to what Casey told them during their interviews with her.
You may recall, during the State's deposition attempt of Dr. Danzinger, Judge Perry put the kibosh to it after receiving a call from Jose Baez, and both depositions have since been sealed. Judge Perry referenced testimony about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, but legal experts agree that in itself would not be grounds for suspending a deposition and immediately sealing it.
It is this editors opinion that during the deposition, Dr. Danzinger recounted parts of his interview with Casey Anthony that may have been incriminating to her.
It was abundantly clear that the defense strategy is/was to attempt to have these witnesses speak about parts of their interviews with Casey Anthony as a way to repeat her "defense" without ever taking the stand, subjecting her to cross-examination by the state.
It is also abundantly clear that Jose Baez et al did not understand the Judge's comments about these depositions the first time around.
The only way these "Docs" will be permitted to testify to anything Casey Anthony told them, is if Jose Baez presents an exception argument to the hearsay rule, and since the "declarant" or Casey Anthony, will never take the stand, 'not gonna happen.
Yesterday afternoon, the defense depositions of Tony Lazzarro and Amy Huizenga were filed with the court.
While there was largely previously known information contained in both depositions, there was one noteworthy tidbit in Ms. Huizenga's which the defense glossed over in a hurry.
Reported exclusively by www.blinkoncrime.com, the Anthony's withheld a major plumbing emergency at their home that sent someone from Hopespring Drive in a panic to locate Caylee.
For the first time, it is confirmed that Casey knew about it, and told Amy it was one of the reasons they could not move in:
