Casey Anthony – Time To Pay The Piper or How The Princess Became A Pauper

She may be free, but the cost of that freedom leaves Casey Anthony facing some huge bills.  The State and law enforcement agencies are seeking reimbursement of over $500k spent on the investigation of Caylee’s disappearance.

The 10 a.m hearing finally gets under way at 10:45 due to a large number of other issues before Judge Perry.

Linda Burdick and Frank George are present as are Cheney Mason and Lisabeth Fryer.  No Baez, he must be babysitting today!

Linda Burdick presents her assessment of investigative costs.

Because Casey Anthony filed an appeal on counts 4, 5, 6, and 7, the Appellate Court gave over jurisdiction to Judge Perry’s court to hear this matter.

Linda cites a number of cases in support of her pleading.

Included are costs only from FDLE, MBI, and OCSO.  FBI didn’t make a specific request nor is Orange County Corrections.

Costs are narrowed down to July 15 through Dec. 11, 2008 for salaried cost of employees for those dates.  No patrol expenses are included and no costs for aiding TES or volunteers.

State Attorney’s expenses are for court reporter, witness travel, and expert expenses.

Burdick asks Judge Perry to consider the documents she provided and move them into evidence.  The evidence documents are around 3 inches thick that Judge Perry must wade through!

Mason objects to FDLE because they weren’t listed in the pleading.  Ms. Burdick tells the court that she and Mason discussed FDLE and the defense is in possession of the documents she is referring to and this should not come as a surprise.  Judge Perry asks why can’t the pleading be amended and Mason claims point of law.  Perry asks how would amending the pleading prejudice his client, Mason says it wouldn’t.  Judge Perry tells the State to amend the pleading.

A bunch of witnesses testify to what they did and how much time was involved and, of course, Mason asks meaningless questions about the date of indictment, when they knew Casey didn’t work at Universal, all of Casey’s fictional friends and the trial that these folks would have no knowledge of…they were investigators, not witnesses at the trial!

Mason seems to imply that once Casey was indicted on October 14, 2008 costs should stop there and not run through December 2008 when Caylee’s remains were found.  Nobody stopped investigating in October because they were still looking for a ‘live’ Caylee!  So, it appears the defense concedes Casey is on the hook for a big chunk of dollars.

Yikes!  I’m sure it was an innocent error, but one woman’s time record shows she worked over 1,000 hours in a 15 day period!  Judge Perry directs that a sticky be placed on that particular page.  Sloppy work review by somebody, but it will knock costs down a wee bit!

Judge Perry has another matter to deal with and its lunchtime so he recesses until 1:30pm.

Sheesh, I don’t know what I thought, but I really didn’t expect this to be so involved today!

Bottom line, Mason implies that once investigators found out Casey’s lies, the cost incurred after should not be Casey’s responsibility.  Witnesses very firmly stated the costs are valid because they were still investing a missing child, regardless of Casey being a liar.

Wow!  The woman with the 1,000 + hours is in the hall!   The error is that the time-frame is for 5 months, not a 15- day period…it was a typo!  Linda did a great cleanup!

John Allen is the final witness.  He details the missing person detail of Caylee Anthony and how Casey continued to claim Caylee was taken by ‘Zany’ and was missing.  You saw all this at trial!

This is a two-pronged defense…1.  Try to lower the costs to Casey and 2. Derail the civil case!

Linda closes by saying she found no cases that clearly discuss how to apportion the costs attributable to a convicted defendant.  The State wants no apportionment…going for the ‘kill’!  Had Casey been truthful just once, the costs would never have grown to what they are!

Mason, the prig, claims the State needs to accept they lost the case and so sad, too bad!  Justice was done and this ‘young girl’ was acquitted of homicide and so not responsible!

The expenses for a missing person investigation are minimal…they should have known when Kronk called it was a murder….omfg!

For the second time today, Mason tells Perry, ‘your assistants will go through the documents!  Perry, a bit hot under-the-collar, corrects him for the second time, and says, ‘Mr. Mason, my assistants don’t go through the documents…I DO’!

Who the f**k does Mason think he is?  Arrogant bastard is at his most offensive here!  Now he claims the State specifically attacked him because Jeff Ashton is publishing a book about decomposition.  This man is just insane!  He claims Casey should only be charged $400 in costs.  I am speechless!

Well, it is all up to Judge Perry now…and so we wait for a ruling!  I have utter faith, like it or not, his ruling will be judicious and fair!  He gives both sides till next Friday to submit additional briefs.  This will be awhile because Judge Perry has 21 trials scheduled for the next two weeks, but assures he will get it done before the jurisdiction for his court runs out!

 Oh my!

Casey Anthony – Probation and Cost of Freedom

Anthony reported for probation last evening.

Guess she and the boys finally realized, no matter how many appeals they filed, she wasn’t getting a free pass on this one.

Her location is being kept a secret, but probation conditions include: she can not drink in excess, break any laws, and must report periodically to her probation officer at his/her discretion.  Anthony may not leave the jurisdiction without specific written permission.

Concerns over Anthony’s safety prompted a waiver which says she will not have to obtain employment.  Instead, she must attend school, which “will be online.”

Well, that kinda is a free pass to me. Not that I think anybody in their right mind would hire a convicted, thieving liar!

The hearing scheduled for today about paying for the search for Caylee has been pushed back to Sept. 2.

Some of those costs include:

$293k – Orange County Sheriff’s Office, investigation and search

$72k – FDLE

$10k – Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation

Casey Anthony – Report by Noon, August 26th!

Judge Belvin Perry released his ruling today, ordering that Anthony must return to Florida to begin serving her one year probation as ordered in 2010 by Judge Stan Strickland. 

“It is very clear that the Defendant and her attorney knew she was due to start her probation upon release from the Orange County Jail.  Despite this fact, they took advantage of a scrivener’s error which started the probation while she was being held in jail.  The defense should not be able to claim that they are now harmed by having the Defendant serve probation at this time.

Citing recent polls that name Anthony as the most-hated person in the nation, Judge Perry also ruled that the Florida Department of Corrections are authorized to keep Anthony’s residential information confidential.

Yesterday, Florida’s DCF issued its final report which states Anthony failed to protect Caylee, which ultimately resulted in her death.

“The inactions by the mother were clearly failure to protect. As the child was found dead, obviously the failure to protect led to the death,” DCF spokesman Joe Follick said.

DCF’s scathing final report which clearly states what a liar Casey is and ultimately responsible for Caylee’s death will follow Anthony for the rest of her natural days!

So, where will Anthony reside?  Certainly not at Hope Spring Drive.  Perhaps she could be a house guest at the Baez or Mason homes.  As to employment, perhaps Dot Sims will hire her as a nanny for her kids!

Hear that Casey?  It’s the KARMA train picking up speed!

Beyond Casey Anthony – Jaycee Dugard, A Story of Hope and Survival

I took a much needed-break after all the hoopla and disappointment following the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial.

Having read all the comments here and elsewhere I see a lot of disbelief, anger and calls for investigating the jury.  Investigate them for what?  Did they act improperly?  I don’t think so.  Do we investigate them for obviously not being able to connect the dots?  Do they get slammed for wanting to get out of Dodge as quickly as possible?  Bottom line, they made a decision and like or not, agree or disagree…it is what it is, nothing will change that.  There is no do-over!

The outrage surrounds the notion Caylee didn’t receive justice, in reality, she has, just not the type of justice many had on their minds!

Her justice comes in the undisputed fact that she touched millions who took her into their hearts and love and honor her better than her own family ever could.

Her justice comes because her mother will never actually be free…she will be hunted and haunted all the days of her life. She will never be employable unless an obscure burger joint doesn’t realize who she is!

Those worried about Casey earning millions, take heart in remembering how much money she owes to the State, the Federal government, etc.  Don’t buy or support anything Casey Anthony!

I did find a truly inspiring and hope filled story that lifted my spirit and made life seem brighter!

Jaycee Dugard was 11 years old when kidnapped by Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido on June 10, 1991.  She was held captive in their backyard, repeatedly raped, gave birth to two little girls until she was ultimately found 18 years later on August 26, 2009.

She gave an incredibly powerful interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, much in the spirit of Elizabeth Smart’s incredible determination to survive and not look back.

If you recall, Elizabeth was 14 years old when kidnapped on June 5, 2002 by Brian Mitchell and Wanda Barzee.  She was found 9 months later on March 12, 2003 at age 15.

Both young women, Elizabeth and Jacyee, exhibit an uncommon amount of grace and strength and desire to move on in a positive way with their lives!

If you haven’t seen it, I implore you to watch or re-watch Jaycee’s interview, you will be inspired!

Diane Sawyer Special: Kidnap victim speaks out in an exclusive interview.

Peace!

Casey Anthony – Day 2, Verdict Watch

August 2005 ~ June 2008

Casey is brought in just prior to 8:30 and security seems to have beefed-up as there are at least 5 deputies around her.

Casey is highly agitated and speaking animatedly to Dot Sims.

Word from the courtroom is the jurors never even looked at Casey when Judge Perry brought them in.  They don’t appear to be as worn out as they did yesterday and look well-rested.

As is usual in trials, everybody is speculating on when a verdict will be reached.  Lots of chatter that 3 jurors appear dressed-up today.  One is wearing a business suit, one is wearing a tie and another is wearing a blazer!

Judge Perry quickly released the jury to deliberate and so the day begins as folks exit the courtroom.  Interestingly, Jose Baez didn’t show up until 8:42, after the courtroom was locked!

Court Spokesperson, Karen Levy informs the media if a murder 1 or felony murder verdict comes through, it will be 48 hours before the penalty phase begins.  The jurors will be sequestered at their hotel and the alternates will remain with them through the penalty phase.

If Casey is found guilty of only lesser charges, sentencing would happen fairly quickly, within a day or so and/or up to a week.

Casey is being held somewhere in the courthouse and has no access to books or magazines.  A female deputy is guarding her.

What I find truly interesting, encouraging, and touching is that while the world is waiting for the verdict, the public and media focus is shifting again back to Caylee!  The sweet-faced, trusting little baby-girl who met such a tragic end!

Verdict in will be read 2:15pm!!!!!!!

Casey Anthony – Verdict Watch Begins

August 2005 ~ June 2008

What a long and torturous day we had, yesterday.  The benefit was storms caused my feed to go wonky and I missed 99% of Cheney Mason!

Today, Linda should do her normal, logical presentation and tie everything up nicely for the jury who will, for the first time, have the freedom to discuss the case.  And boy, do the have a lot to talk about!

Casey looking rather pensive today.

8:30 Judge Perry takes the bench.  Final jury instructions have been given to both sides for review.  Baez objects to the court allowing the split up of the final argument.  Judge says this is rebuttal and rebuttal only.

Jeff begins with the science and tells the jury it is up to them to decide what to believe or not to believe.  All the anthropologists and pathologists agree there is no trauma to the bones.  They all agree the skull and mandible were found in anatomical position.  The mandible was only held in place by the tape!  However, Dr. Spitz claimed someone came along and picked up the skull and mandible and taped it together and placed it back in the woods!

Dr. Spitz also claimed the hair draped over the skull was placed there by the medical examiner’s personnel!

The brain dust that Spitz claimed he could see did not exist.

Jeff moves on to entomology.  Haskell has been in the field for over 30 years whereas Huntington has been in practice for 3 years.  You have to decide who is more credible.  They both agree the body was placed in the swampy woods in June or July.

They only disagree about the car trunk and Huntington admitted he never dealt with a body in a trunk in real life.

The chloroform needs to be looked at in terms of perspective.  Wise and Vass saw shockingly high levels of chloroform and they have spent years testing environmental samples.

Dr. Rickenbach from the FBI also tested the air sample and the tire cover and found chloroform.  The tire cover was sent in a box, not in a sealed container and he said he was surprised that he even found chloroform.

Don’t forget, the Anthony’s aired out the car for hours.  Chloroform is volatile and evaporates.  There is no evidence as to why the chloroform was there.

The odor of decomposition, the defense attacked Dr. Vass for developing a device that can be used to identify decomp.  Dr. Vass is an unapologetic science geek!  He has a scientific curiosity and shouldn’t be discounted for that!

The garbage bag contained no food except for a small remnant of cheese.  Even Dr. Furton admitted the smell could not have caused the odor in the trunk.

There was no DNA of the duct tape.  Everyone agrees heat and moisture destroys DNA so of course there was no DNA.

The hair band testimony showed that only occurs with death, it can’t be reproduced.

Why would George, after finding a drowned child, place duct tape over her face?  Why would you make an innocent accident look like a murder?

The defense wants you to believe George called the police about the gas cans to somehow implicate his daughter in this crime.  Then George used the very same tape to post pictures of his missing granddaughter.  It’s absurd.

The accidental drowning has been refuted by the evidence in this case.

Remember counsel said in opening statements to follow the tape.  First it was George then it was Roy Kronk they connected to the tape.

Jeff shows photos of the crime scene and says only Mother Nature staged the scene.  The leaf litter is 3-4 inches deep.  The crime scene is as it appears due to nature, animals and decomposition.  It is not staged!

Jeff is speaking to 1st degree murder which can be premeditated or felony.  Mason objects for misstating law.  Jeff is reading directly from the jury instructions!

Duct tape or chloroform, Jeff makes a very strong case for 1st degree murder.

Jeff ends by saying what a good father and grandfather George was and reads from George’s suicide note pointing out, this is a man in pain and it was wrong of the defense to denigrate him for that!

Recess…

Baez has an issue with the computer searches.  He says there was false testimony and some of the information was incorrect.  Judge Perry says he doesn’t know what correct or incorrect and file a motion and they will cross that bridge when they get to it.

Linda thanks the jury for their sacrifice.

Linda says what she told them in openings she meant and the evidence backs that up.

Mr. Baez said he was afraid you would make decisions based on emotions.  We didn’t ask that.  Linda’s biggest fear is that common sense will be lost in all of the rhetoric of the case.

Look at the evidence as a whole, look at the big picture.

Linda calls Casey the most documented liar and pointed to everybody, accusing others of lying.

Pop Tart keeps objecting!

Mr. Baez suggested those 31 days mean nothing.

Mr. Baez accused Yuri Melich, Mr. Forgey, Dr. Vass, Mr. Bloise of lying.

Whether live or dead, LE, the FBI, Texas Equusearch, volunteers were searching for a kidnapped little girl.  It was a lie, she was already dead.

Casey said to her mother when she picked her up she wanted another day.  She told her brother she needed more time.

That first night, July 15, 2008 nobody from OCSO thought Caylee was dead.  Casey was asking them for their help in finding her!

These are statements that show a consciousness of guilt on Ms. Anthony’s part.

Casey told investigators she was conducting her own investigation.  Really?

As they backtracked they find out everything she was saying was a lie.

Response to guilt is predictable.   Guilty people lie, they run, they divert attention from themselves and act like nothing is wrong.   That’s what she was doing those 31 days.

She ran from her family because they would be the ones to ask her questions!  Friends are easy to placate with stories.

The lies got bigger, they got better, they involved more people.  Mr. Baez calls them imaginary friends, they weren’t imaginary friends, they were lies to get Casey out of a jam.

Baez, may we approach?  No.

When the remains were found the lies changed.  Maybe Caylee died because of an accident.

Was this an accident?  The defendant’s own mother first brought up the drowning.

Casey’s lies and behavior are inconsistent with an accidental death.

If this was an accident in the pool Caylee would have been floating in a pool, not floating in a swamp!

The way these remains were found shows complete indifference to the child, how the person who disposed of her really felt about her.

Linda plays the phone call Casey made to the house from jail.  The jury has to be reeling about the blatant lies!

Her focus on that call and the 31 days proceeding was Tony Lazzaro.  She’s not grieving.

Casey had access to all of it.  The duct tape, the blanket, the laundry bag, the shorts, the car.

The bag of trash was a decoy.  The car was backed into the spot next to the garbage as a decoy.

The ‘Big trouble comes in small packages’ shirt was kept in the car, in a diaper bag.

Ask yourself a simple question, whose life was better without Caylee?

Linda puts up these photos and says…

There’s your answer —->

Wowser, what a powerful ending!

Baez asks the court to declare a mistrial based on two statement made by the State in closing arguments.

Motion denied.

The jury will be instructed in 10 minutes.  No one may leave the room, move around or talk during instructions or they will be removed.

Instructions take just under an hour.  Jury sent to the jury room at 12:10pm.  And so, this afternoon the jury will begin deliberating Casey’s fate!

The alternates will be separated and given additional instructions.

It’s been a long time coming!

Casey Anthony – The Final Words And Then Some

August 2005 ~ June 2008

It’s hard to believe we have finally reached this point, closing arguments!  While the good Judge has given specific instructions as to what can and cannot be said, I’ve little doubt Baez will follow instructions, he can’t help himself!

8:30, Judge Perry begins by reviewing jury instructions.  Seems the State and defense had some agreement for aggravated manslaughter, but didn’t write an instruction which really ticked Judge Perry off.  He will discuss it with them at lunch time after they write something up.

Sexual molestation may not be brought up by the defense because no facts of evidence were brought in.  The State may not address the issue unless the defense opens the door.

Each side will have 4 hours for closing. 

9:15 the jury is brought in.  Judge Perry reads a statement regarding Dr. Rodriguez’s sudden departure.

Jeff Aston thanks the jury for their sacrifice.  He speaks about what it means to be a parent and the expectations and responsibilities that go with it.

He goes to great lengths to point out her incredible capacity to lie and how well it worked for her, but Caylee was becoming verbal and at some point she could have blown Casey’s cover.

Jeff takes the jury through every day and every lie.  He says Casey is extremely bright and nimble in changing her stories to suit her audience.

As much as we’ve learned over the years it is really quite amazing what Casey was able to pull off until the car tripped her up!

It is just incredibly sad to realize how easy it was for Casey to do away with her own daughter!

Love ’em or hate ’em, this has to be very difficult for George and Cindy to sit through.

Baez has twice tried to object and has been overruled!

Jeff shows pictures of the remains, the Pooh blanket, the laundry bag, Caylee’s shorts and the letters from her little shirt.

He graphically describes the 3 pieces of tape that were placed over Caylee’s face and asks as Dr. G did, what other reason could there be to place duct tape on a live child!

Casey made an attempt at fake crying, but mostly her anger shows through.

The many angry faces of Casey.

Jeff finished in under two hours, strong without overdoing the emotional aspects and Judge Perry calls a recess.

Baez starts by thanking the jury. 

He begins with there is no dispute that Caylee is gone, but how she died will never be answered.

He reminds the jury the State has the burden of proof and the defense doesn’t have to prove anything.

Good thing because he didn’t deliver squat from his opening!

He claims Jeff Aston only opened by showing the Caylee video to use the emotions of the jury and it’s disrespectful to her memory to ‘parade’ her around!

Good grief!

He claims the State tried to portray Casey as a slut and a party girl.

He says there was absolutely no evidence of child abuse, Casey was a loving mother.

He tells the jury they heard stuff no other jury has heard…hair banding, air samples, cadaver dog training because the State had to up the ante as they didn’t have proof of anything.

Baez says the car proves nothing and just prolonged the trial.

How cute, Baez has a big poster boards where he is places little magnetic pictures!

He claims George knew the Pontic had been at the Amscot for three days and just let it be towed!

He tells the jury Forgey lied to them when he said his dog checked two cars!

Yuri, Hosey, Eberline…none of them did anything about the smell in the car so that creates reasonable doubt!

Casey and the shovel means nothing, she wasn’t sweaty when she returned it!  She took it to break the lock on the shed to get the gas cans, lol!

This is so much bogus bull pucky, I don’t know how the jury hasn’t burst out in raucous  laughter!

Police intentionally dried out the garbage to frame Casey.

OMG!  Baez says there was fingerprint dust on the Velveeta box so police wanted you to know, ‘who cut the cheese’!!!!  Again proves what a momo he is!

12:02 lunch is called.

Baez thinks he is such a great orator but doesn’t think well on his feet…he drifts like so much flotsam…all over the place.

Finally Judge Perry takes the bench at 2:07!

Baez is complaining Mr. Ashton’s facial expressions are a problem.  Judge says he didn’t see it.

Baez back on the car and a make-believe stain in the trunk.  It was 10 years old and had stains long before this occurred.

Well, stain or no stain Mr. Baez?

The State wants you to fill in the blanks with your emotions and anger!

There is a lack of evidence so they want you guessing!

This is not search for the truth, it’s about winning!

Shaw and Lowe only did the environmental study after we deposed them!

The State threw everything against the wall to see what sticks.  One day it’s chloroform, one day it’s duct tape.

Baez beating the crap out of Vass not being a chemist and selling sniffer machines!

Stenger made up all the crap about computer searches…this is fraud…

Objection, sustained!

Baez calls Stenger’s work bogus and mentions perjury!

Baez is at his sleaziest.

We all knew in 2009 that Cindy Anthony testified about searching for chloroform.  The State spent their entire rebuttal on proving Cindy is a liar.

The State has nothing, but fantasy.

The nonsense stops here with you when you raised your hands and swore to serve.

Baez has referred to the State’s evidence as outrageous multiple times.

Boy, Jose truly thinks he is Atticus Finch!

Ah, now he is attacking Dr. G and her autopsy and her attempt to make the evidence fit!

OMG!  Baez just called Dr. Warren, “Mr. Fantasyland”!!!  He was up there being an advocate, not a scientist.

Dr. G is a big shot and took over the case because of her relationship with the media.

Spitz is more qualified to render opinion because he was called in to the JFK and Martin Luther King murders!

Casey has issues and they were there long before Caylee was born.

Casey and her non-soggy kleenex!    ——————>

Can you imagine Cindy’s guilt over leaving the pool ladder up?

Police didn’t want to consider there was something wrong with Casey…they only thought murder.

The State wants to give you the who without the where and the why!

There were no child locks, Caylee could open the glass door and get out to the pool!

Kill me, I can’t take much more of the shit and I’m sure the jury feels the same!

George Anthony lied about the gas can.  He lies when it is convenient for him.  He lied in his deposition with Mr. Ashton.

Baez has rambled on-and-on about Casey being a crazy liar, coming from a family of liars, but we still don’t have anything to do death Caylee’s death.

Holy shit!  Baez just, at the top of his lungs, screamed George lied on the stand…Jeff loudly voiced objection and the Judge called everyone to the bench!

Doesn’t matter what he says, Baez can’t pin the disposal of Caylee’s body on George…doesn’t work!

Judge Perry wisely calls a break to let the attorneys cool down.

I love Jeff Ashton, but he has been pushing the envelope by laughing through Baez’s closing.  I luv him but he is sophomoric at times!

Judge Perry viewed the video of Jeff’s reactions while Baez was speaking.  He sends both parties out to view for themselves.

Mr. Baez’s remarks and Jeff’s antics, both, have royally pissed off Judge Perry and he says this has been going on throughout and he shouldn’t have to watch them.  He also says 1993 Court orders on decorum that he signed obviously don’t mean a hill of beans to them!

Jeff says he doesn’t need to see the video, he trusts the Judge’s decision.  Mason of course has to be contrary and wants to view it.

Ashton says he was smiling behind his hand to hide it from the jury and he apologizes.  Baez says Ashton should not be held in contempt, it’s been emotional for 3 years.  He also apologizes to the court.  Baez would have had the same charges leveled at him so he isn’t being noble!

Judge Perry says he will accept that for the time being.  If it happens again, that attorney will be excluded and things will be quite, quite uncomfortable.

Judge Perry says the jury will not be given instructions until tomorrow because the charges aren’t complete and he shouldn’t have taken them at their word and called them in yesterday like he wanted.

Baez continues there was no murder in this case, there is no evidence, but George has lied about everything.

George cares about George, not about his wife, not about his daughter, not about his family.

Holy shit, Baez says George bought the gun to make sure Casey went back to jail!

The State was walking around with blinders and trying to put square pegs in round holes.

Kronk is a liar and only wanted money.  If Det. Cain was so rude to him, why didn’t he just grab the bag and take it down the street to all the media trucks and say, ‘here it is, give me the reward money.’

I’m really waiting for that proverbial bolt of lighting to come down and zap Baez!

5:15 Judges calls a break.  Mason comes next to do law 101 and we still have Linda….accccckkkkk

Mason goes through the charges and how the law is applied to them.  Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Casey was only 22, my shoes are that old!

OMG, Shut up you old fool!  I don’t imagine the jury is taking this too well, he’s going over the same shit Baez did!

6:15 Break time!

Pretty sure the jury has shut down mentally at this point!  I know I have!

Linda needs to hit hard and hit fast to keep the jury focused, it’s late, they’re tired and hungry!

6:37 Perry tells the jury we are close to the end, but it will be a long day tomorrow! So, Linda gets a fresh jury tomorrow…sweet!

6:39, we’re done!

Casey Anthony – Desperate People Do Desperate Things

August 2005 ~ June 2008

After a terribly frustrating, uneventful morning, we are finally getting down to business as court resumes at 1:35!

Judge Perry looks none too happy!

Chief Compliance Officer and Custodian of Records from Gentiva, John Camperlengo is called. 

Electronic records are maintained in Kansas so they are maintained on central standard time.  Emails received and deleted are retrievable and backed-up.  They are really careful because of HIPPA regulations.  They can identify specific workstations and unique user ID’s.  Clinical management entries are dated and time-stamped.

Records are stipulated to as accurate business records by both sides.

Linda Burdick shows composite records to the witness that he identifies as emails for the Cindy Anthony account.

Records are published for the court.

Cindy was at work on 3/17 at 8:02 EST. The system designations show Cindy was at her work station and logged out a bit after 5pm.

The system auto logs out if you walk away for 5 hours, but stays on as long as you are working.

The system shows on March 21 Cindy logged in just after 8am and logged out just after 5pm.

Bend over and kiss your butt goodbye Cindy, you’re buns be buttered now toots! 

BTW, Cindy has been keeping her head low and hiding behind the person in the seat in front of her!

3/17/08 and 3/21/08 Cindy was NOT at home doing computer searches as she lied claimed she was!

Cross by Baez

Were you contacted in 2009 to provided this information?  No.

Witness excused!

Sidebar…

I will be so happy never to type that word again!

Deborah Polisano called.  Cindy’s boss at Gentiva.

If a salaried employee had to run to the pharmacy or pick something up, could they?  Yes.

Employees logged on to the system in order to perform their duties.

If the workstation wasn’t used for 15 minutes, it would close and you would have to log back in.

Computers could be used by others, but only if they logged on under their own username and ID.

Cindy could not log in from a laptop or from home – no off-site log in.

Excused.

Dr. Bruce Goldberger called. Toxicologist.   He took samples from Caylee’s remains to analyze.

Left femur, marrow from the femur, strands of hair, cranial washes with saline…

Baez calls a sidebar…

The washes of the cranial cavity showed no decompositional matter.

Another sidebar by Baez…

All of this points to just how bogus Baez’s objections were this morning and I hope Judge Perry adds this infraction to his list of sanction items!

You collected bone marrow?  I did.

The cranial wash you did was crude?  Yes, but it is what it is.

Instead of opening the cranium?  Yes.

Witness excused.

Dr. Michael Warren called.  Forensic anthropologist.

Is there any protocol that would recommended opening a skull a skeletal case?  No.  There is no compelling reason to open the skull because it can be adequately examine the skull.

Using a dental mirror and a flashlight you could easily examine the interior of a skull.

A child’s skull is extremely fragile and sawing the skull open could create unnecessary damage.

Baez on cross…

You did the Quicktime video?  Powerpoint.

You are not a medical doctor?  No.

You are a forensic pathologist?  No.

Baez loses big time on objections by Ashton.

Ahhh crap, Baez again wants to approach…

Perry calls a recess and Linda says she has 3 more witnesses that will take less than an hour.

I believe we will hear from Osborne and Stenger again to show what Casey was doing on the computer in March 2008 and Yuri is also in the hall.

This is making me incredibly sad for what happened to Caylee,  for some reason today…Caylee and all the other lives that have been damaged and ruined forever by Casey!

Kevin Stenger is next up.  OCSO computer guy.

We are introducing the deleted internet history from March and of course Baez has an issue because he wants to review it…WTF has he done for 3 years?

Judge Perry says accepted…Baez asks to approach.

Swear to God I am going to court to choke the shit out of Baez!

He keyword searched on neck, chlorophyll, hand sanitizers and Gentiva.

None of those terms were searched!

   <———-    OHHHH, Cindy finally looked up!

Linda has the computer hooked-up to do the searches live for the jury monitors.  This is up-close and personal, in-yo-face!

So to me, this is so in-depth and detailed, this is not just going toward impeachment…it goes to nailing her ass for perjury!  Stay tuned for that news flash, lol!

Baez had diddley.

Witness is excused.

Sandra Osborne called.

She searched for chlorophyll, hand sanitizers and bamboo.  Bamboo turned up, furniture, tiki bars, lamps…. nada for anything else.

Yuri Melich, final rebuttal witness is called!

No call between Cindy and George the week of June 16, 2008.

Objections all over the friggin place and Baez is shut down!
