So, I guess all things considered, it was a pretty good day after all.  We didn't get ALL we wanted (who does?) but she is a FELON, 5 or 6 times over and that is pretty satisfying to me.   Appears the real trial is going to be delayed for as long as the defense can manage, so I will just go on back to lurking and being impressed with the rest of you monkeys and your thoughts and opinions.  Keep fighting the good fight for baby Kaylee.

Of course its all a lie they the defense is graspin for straws. s many people have been under the bus that a new bus needs to be ordered desperately everyones laying on top of eachother everywhere. the defense  is weak and desperate.

Dear Monkeys,

Thankfully our evil witch, didn't stop with taking Caylee's last breath.  Without her kind consideration, we may have been waiting even longer for the tiny smidgen of justice that we got today.  The words convicted felon have made so many people who have grown to love Caylee, very happy.  With all of the jealousy between Casey and Cindy, I hope all the love that we keep for precious Caylee is tedious for both of them.  In the grand scheme of things, I am sure that both of them think that if it wasn't for us crazy bloggers and that pesky LE and the State, Casey would be living her *beautiful life*.   I watched both of them smile today in court and it made my skin crawl.  I don't even think of them as the same species.  Even before Caylee was murdered, their was a nasty black cloud over Hopespring and they all knew it, there was never any hope for Caylee.  I broke down and cried today as once again Baez made it seem as if Casey were the victim.  Poor lil thing, all picked on and stuff.  Why make such a big deal out of a little crime spree?  He tried to make it seem as if she shoplifted candy and was not caught on video and on paper committing crimes as Caylee's body lay in a mucky swamp.  Yes, Baez we did get some mucky justice today, Casey caused all of this muck but be sure it will be raked thoroughly,  just as the crime scene was.  Where wonderful men and women sifted for days and nights on their hands and knees for every precious bone.

I am glad we were all in the cage together today my friends.  I was holding your hands, I hope you felt me hold yours.

Hugs, Magic

Judge Strickland then gave Casey an opportunity to make a statement.

“I just want to let everyone know that I’m sorry for what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Casey said, referring to the check fraud (watch video | see images). “And I'd like to sincerely apologize to Amy. I wish I would have been a better friend.”

“It was a good tactic on the part of the defense to have her plead guilty and show some emotion,” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.

Casey Anthony and her defense team now have 30 days to appeal the sentences. Casey's defense attorney told reporters afterward he won't appeal, that Casey had always intended to plead guilty to the check fraud charges, but he wanted to make sure the she was treated fairly. He says Casey will always be victim Amy Huizenga's friend.  (ahhh.....I don't think Amy needs Casey's friendship.....I'm certain of it!)

“Should Amy ever want to contact my office, she has an open invitation to,” Baez told Eyewitness News after the hearing. 

Eyewitness News called Huizenga to find out whether she still wants Casey's friendship, but she didn't want to talk about it.

Now, Casey Anthony's focused on trying to convince everyone that she was a better mother than one who would murder her own child. But Monday’s plea, and convictions on six of the 13 felonies she admitted to, might make that more difficult.

Casey now goes into the murder trial as a convicted felon. Baez said he's not worried about that possible disadvantage going into her murder trial.

“I'm not really concerned,” Baez said after the hearing.

But Sheaffer says, when jurors hear that a defendant has been convicted before, they could view the defendant as a liar.

“Any competent attorney should worry about that,” Sheaffer said.

Two other motions were also addressed during Monday’s hearing relating to the murder case against Casey.

The judge granted the defense's motion to get testimony before the trial from the ex-wife of Roy Kronk, who found Caylee's remains. The defense has said Kronk should be a suspect in the murders, because his ex-wife claims he bound her with duct tape years ago.

“He probably was the one who murdered Caylee Anthony or had something to do with it,” Jill Kerley, Kronk's ex-wife, said during a deposition.

There is no evidence of any prior connection between Kronk and Caylee Anthony.

“That's a very thin correlation, especially when you examine the remoteness of the time frame,” Sheaffer told Eyewitness News

Prosecutors say Casey is the one who layered tape over her daughter Caylee's nose and mouth, possibly to suffocate her.

The judge also granted the prosecution's motion to get a schedule together for discovery and a preliminary witness list in an effort to move things along towards a trial. A date was not set.

Meanwhile, the defense's motion to stop the Orange County jail from taping Casey when she meets with her attorneys was denied late Monday.

Casey's lawyers said the jail's video-only recordings violate her attorney-client privileges and could be released as public record. But the county says it has a responsibility to provide security there, even to Casey during her attorney visits.

i have a question.does everyone here believe that the whole kronk being involved issue is a lie? i am only asking because i would like to know your opions.

luv my boys.!
Of course its all a lie they the defense is graspin for straws. s many people have been under the bus that a new bus needs to be ordered desperately everyones laying on top of eachother everywhere. the defense  is weak and desperate.

I agree.  Kronk got the triple whammy. He may have been nosing around way back in Aug. and actually found Caylee but the deputy didn't investigate fully. The rains came,IIRC he wasn't assigned in that area for awhile, then he goes back again. Why not, nobody had found her yet, this time he for sure finds her. He's got a few skeletons in his background (who doesn't when you've got defense team PI's digging thru your past) and baez and company start the attack.
Then the poor guy has an ex willing to say he used duct tape on her and he probably had something to do with Caylee's death.

It's typical for the slimy tactics of the defense to crucify any innocent bystander that they can. Where's the link between Kronk and Casey? What's his motive to do the crime and then tell on himself?  What happened to the long standing nanny story. Are we supposed to believe that casey and Kronk were rolling around in the woods and then when she hooked up with Tony that he goes berserk and decides to punish her by murdering her child? Or is it that he's a kingpin for some nefarious gang that had it out for kc, kidnapped and killed Caylee for some kind of vendetta. Yeah right.

The only reason the defense is targeting him is to be able to broadcast the illusion that somebody (anybody) COULD have done it. That's true, anyone Could have done it but the person that DID do it is kc, alone. All they really want is to yell that at every opportunity hoping I guess that public opinion against kc will soften or a long shot that some potential juror will believe it and hold out against the guilty verdict. In the meantime another person is being vilified by the defense.

Uh.. thought the judge told her not to have any contact with Amy?  Leave it to Baez to a) deliberately defy the judge  b) he's so ignorant and didn't listen c) he doesn't have a clue

Got these two pictures of her entering:



I noted during the hearing how inappropriately cheerful she seemed today.

 

[AzGrama]

Even tho KC was only adjudicated on 6 counts, I get real pleasure in the fact that she plead guilty on all 13 charges.  Now I wish she would be charged with all the court costs after dragging this out this long.  Especially since JB now says that she always wanted to plead guilty.  Hmmmm, maybe JB should personally pay the court costs, after all he paid restitution to the bank.

How does felony conviction affect Casey Anthony murder trial?

Casey Anthony is now a convicted felon - having plead guilty Monday to 13 charges from fraud to forgery stemming from a shopping spree she went on using checks stolen from a former friend.
As the attention now focuses solely on Casey's capital murder trial, one of the looming questions is how Casey's previous record will affect defense strategy and whether the accused child killer will take the stand in her own defense.

"It seems likely to be extremely dangerous," said veteran attorney Mark NeJame on the prospect of Casey taking to stand and then being subjected to cross-examination.

NaJame said the state's case will likely involve showing that Casey's behavior during the time that her daughter was missing was inconsistent with someone that lost their child accidentally.

If the defense does decide to put Casey on the stand, the prosecution could bring up her felony past and that she committed the crimes - shopping for beer and clothes with stolen checks - while her 2-year-old daughter was missing.

But NeJame said bringing that evidence into court could present a risk to the prosecution as well.

"That may, in fact, infect the case overall and allow the defense a basis for appeal," he said.

NeJame said the struggle between the defense and prosecution over what evidence and testimony should be allowed in court will be a difficult but crucial one for Judge Stan Strickland to referee.

After Monday's hearing, defense attorney Jose Baez didn't rule out putting Casey on the stand.

"We don't believe the jurors that we are going to pick will find her guilty because she wrote some bad checks," he said.

Casey Anthony now a felon
Reported by: Cary Williams

Last Update: 6:23 am
ORLANDO, FL -- Casey Anthony is now a convicted felon.

The 23-year-old pleaded guilty Monday to 13 counts of check fraud.  She was sentenced to time already served.

"I'm sorry for what I did," Casey said. "I sincerely apologize to Amy. I wish I would have been a better friend."

She stole hundreds of dollars from  former friend Amy Huizenga. The crimes were committed around the same time that Casey's daughter, Caylee Anthony was missing in the summer of 2008. The 2-year-old's remains were found later that year.

During Monday's hearing, Circuit Judge Stan Strickland found her guilty on six counts and withheld adjudication for the other seven counts.

“I've done what I think is fair based on what I know,” Strickland said.

Casey remains in the Orange County Jail, waiting for her first-degree murder trial.   She's accused of murdering her daughter.  Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Anthony's murder trial was scheduled to begin this summer but prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick said Monday that seemed unlikely.
The judge also ruled that Anthony's attorneys can interview the ex-wife of the meter reader who found Caylee's body. Casey Anthony's attorneys said Roy Kronk's ex-wife could offer testimony that supports the contention that Kronk should be a suspect.

Detectives have said repeatedly that Kronk is not a suspect and that the evidence points to Anthony.

Casey Anthony attorney: Media should back off

By Kevin P. Connolly, Amy L. Edwards and Bianca Prieto, Orlando Sentinel

8:03 a.m. EST, January 26, 2010
An attorney for accused child killer Casey Anthony said on the Today Show this morning that the media needs to "take a different look at itself."

The recorded comments from Andrea Lyon comes one day after Anthony, accused of killing daughter Caylee Marie Anthony, made headlines after being found guilty on six charges related to a check-fraud case.

The piece on the Today Show noted Monday's verdict and included information about the Anthony-inspired play in Australia called "Tot Mom."

When a reporter asked Lyon about the play's significance and coverage of the Anthony case, she said:

"It tells me that the media process needs to take a different look at itself. You know, it's one thing to cover a trial and cover a case. It's another thing to create one."

Lyon has been critical of the media in the past.

Anthony, 23, is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder, accused of killing her daughter in 2008.

She pleaded not guilty in the murder case.

On Monday, she pleaded guilty to 13 charges in a check-fraud case.
Orange County Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland found Anthony guilty on six of the charges: one count of grand theft, four counts of check forgery, and fraudulent use of personal identification.

Strickland withheld adjudication for the remaining seven counts.

He sentenced Anthony to time served — 412 days she's already been jailed — and one year of probation. He also ordered her to pay the court and investigative costs associated with the check-fraud case.

Anthony was charged with stealing hundreds of dollars from a friend, Amy Huizenga, in July 2008.

Anthony is accused of using Huizenga's checks to buy more than $400 worth of clothes and groceries at area Target and Winn-Dixie stores.
