Caylee Marie Anthony-MURDER TRIAL/JURY SELECTION-DAY 8- 5/17/11

[Curly]

Oh, this is really reaching back, but I seem to recall that Casey did grant Cindy power of atty.......... didn't she?

Anyone remember? I believe that discussion took place around the memorial for Caylee or when Caylee's body was found.

I remember, but was confused because Casey was bent out of shape that Caylee was cremated against her wishes.

Casey Anthony trial: Family is trademarking 'Justice for Caylee'

George and Cindy Anthony are trademarking their granddaughter's name, as well as "Justice for Caylee," so people won't be able use or sell items with the toddler's likeness, their lawyer told the Orlando Sentinel today.

1. They do not have standing to trademark anything of Caylee's, they are not her parent or legal guardian.  The only way they could even consider something so ridiculous, is if they have been granted Power of Attorney over Caylee's estate by her Mother.  

2. They are not trademarking a "phrase" to keep others from using it, they are doing it so they can use it, and they can receive a royalty of fee for anyone that does.

3. Casey cannot do this herself, because she is being sued civilly, and she is already under a restitution order fine for the economic felony conviction.

4. You cannot trademark a person's name, that is ridiculous.

5. It is not retroactive, meaning it is only in effective from the time it is granted, and they have already been turned down once.

I wonder if this is what was in the note

Hi Blink---question about that trademark stuff...that 911 widow Lisa Beamer trademarked the phrase "Let's roll" and it was discussed about no one can use that phrase...would this be the same thing the A's are trying to do?

Here is the thing, that phrase, was uttered and heard from an individual and it is "unique" to that person and event.

His wife trademarked it, as the executrix of his estate, as was appropriate.

This is an example of the correct use of a trademark.  Nobody else can use or publish that without the mention of the trademark or specific use permissions.

You cannot trademark a common name, and you would be very hard-pressed to trademark a phrase "Justice For Caylee" as unique, when it has been used frequently for almost 3 years now.  What do they think they are going to do- erase google and start over, just for them?

One of the first things a Patent Atty will do, is research it, and hello????

I think this is 100% a stunt to pizz Casey and her attorneys off.

IIRC.....only given power of Caylee's remains in regards to burial/cremation

I remember that. Then Cindy turned around and cremated Caylee's remains, rather then bury as KC requested.

If memory serves it was for receiving Caylee's remains & then that presser Bozo gave with Casey's statement disapproving of what her mother planned to do.

[NewfieMonkey]

Is it my imagination or is AF having a severe coughing fit about the time Judge Perry reads the DP guidelines ... every time today ...

[Cappuccino]

Tks Seeme, thought that was what it was

She had limited use POA to release and "custodialize" Caylee's remains.  This is important because it is how the defense was able to review and examine her remains in the funeral home.

There was also some releases wrt to Cindy having POA for a bank account, which I believe was the original trust account paperwork, and the ability for Casey to have a trust account to pay Jose Baez.

Thanks for that explanation, Blink.

The state used a challenge on her?
Why?
Because the duhfense liked her?

I think the state was stupid. I think she would have been okay. Maybe they thought she sounded too happy when describing her dead husbands' demises.

I think part of it was  the reason she wanted to be on jury.  She stated, she's never been on one and thought it would be interesting.  Wrong Answer!  Should have been more to her civic duty.  It's not a game, JMO

Ok correct me please if I am wrong. There are 11 jurors right now? And is the pj there now the last one for the day?

Yes, to both

[Curly]

It may please the court, but it doesn't please me, Finnell.
So sick of your monotonous ramblings.

I think 12 and this one would be 13 (I think)

Jeremy Lyons?

[Samarie]

Brandi  or anyone, did anyone get a screen cap of Casey reading that note a bit ago?

I got that one. Not sure if it was the exact moment after reading it though.

You all could probably tell me.

Maybe it was a note from the A's.....

HI Sweetheart,
Sorry we couldn't make your jury selection, we're on another cruise. Have you heard we got a new lawyer? He's awesome, we are planning to sue the last lawyer we had, Brad Conway, and all those people on the web using Caylee's name. It may take a few years, but we'll be rich and probably never have to work again! oh, and we see where your DT is going to blame us for feeding you, clotheing you, supporting you and Caylee and covering your skanky azz after all these years, so he told us that we should tell the truth. Anyway, we're heading to the gambling room and just wanted you to know. Good Luck Sweetheart and Bella Vita!

Mom and Dad

Finally sitting down to watch the live stream for the first after following all of you lovely monkeys every day from work the past week and a half (video doesn't really work on the computer at work) and I think i rather just read here instead of watching! It moooooves soooo sloooooow. Goodness me.  You monkeys paint such a great photo. I feel like I've been there all along!

PS I like this juror lady!
