Anthony Family Home In Foreclosure
Bank Of America Files Paperwork With Orange County Court

POSTED: Tuesday, February 23, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The home of George and Cindy Anthony, where daughter Casey and granddaughter Caylee lived when the 2-year-old disappeared in in summer of 2008, is in foreclosure.

The Anthonys have lived in the home on Hopespring Drive in the Chickasaw Oaks subdivision since 1989.

Bank of America filed the foreclosure documents in Orange County on Monday. The documents show that no payments have been made on the mortgage since May 2009. The Anthonys owe nearly $121,000 in principal and $6,000 in interest.

Attorney Brad Conway said his clients' granddaughter's death contributed to them losing the house that Casey Anthony called home from the age of 3, where she raised Caylee, and where she was eventually arrested in connection with her daughter's death.

Conway attributed the couple's latest financial problems to the notoriety of the case and the emotional toll caused by their granddaughter's slaying.

Cindy Anthony told prosecutors that she had to leave her job because of stress-related medical problems and has been on disability for more than a year.

Meanwhile, George Anthony -- like many others in this economy -- is having difficulty finding work, said Conway, who added that George Anthony has an added difficulty because he is instantly recognized and rejected by most employers either because of who he is or because companies fear he may bring unwanted media attention.

Many had speculated that the Anthonys were profiting off book and movie deals, but Conway said this foreclosure proves that never occurred.

The Anthonys said they plan to do all they can to save their home, if only to preserve the place where Caylee spent her life.

Casey Anthony remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in connection with Caylee's death.

Caylee was last seen in June of 2008, but she was not reported missing until a month later. The toddler's body was found in a wooded area near the Anthony home on Dec. 11, 2008.

Casey Anthony case: Defense wants party pictures of client barred from trial
3/8/10
Casey's defense team doesn't want a jury to see the "party girl" pictures of the 23-year-old, fearing the photos would "inflame the jury" against her.

They call these pictures — most of them taken before her daughter disappeared — irrelevant.

This is one of three defense requests filed late Monday in the first-degree murder case against Casey Anthony, who is accused of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Casey Anthony Trial Date Set
Motion Sets Trial Date For May 9, 2011

POSTED: 10:55 am EST March 8, 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. --
A date has been set on Monday for the much-anticipated trial of Casey Anthony.

Anthony's trial is set to begin on May 9, 2011.

Judge Stan Strickland also set a schedule for the case to proceed. He ordered that all depositions of witnesses to be completed by Oct. 31, 2010.

The trial has been delayed several times in the past.
On Friday, Anthony's defense filed a motion for indigence, claiming prosecutors decision to seek death will require them to ask the state to pick up certain investigative and travel costs.

Criminal defense attorney Richard Hornbsy said he has successfully applied to have clients declared indigent but said the process is strict.

"The taxpayers are going to be on the hook for Miss Anthony's due process cost, I have no doubt about that," Hornsby said.

The attorney said the Judicial Administrative Commission will have strict guidelines over what costs are picked up and what fees are paid.

"There will be transparency with what she's paying, what she's doing," Hornsby said.

In order to be successfully declared indigent, Hornsby said Anthony's defense team will have to make full disclosure about how she managed to pay $111,000 in legal fees.

"The public has a right to know how the private attorneys were paid and what their interests are," Hornsby said.

Anthony, 23, is in the Orange County Jail charged with first-degree murder in the the death of her daughter, Caylee.
Caylee's remains were found in a wooded area off Suburban Drive near the Anthony family home in December 2008.

Anthony maintains a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee.

Motion: State Should Pay For Anthony's Defense
Casey Anthony Charged With Murder In Daughter Caylee's Death


UPDATED: 11:03 am EST March 7, 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Defense attorneys for Casey Anthony have filed a motion requesting that the court declare her indigent and have the taxpayers shoulder some of the cost of her defense in the first-degree murder trial in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

The team representing 23-year-old said the financial assistance is the only way to ensure they'll have the resources to fight a conviction and possible death sentence in the case.

Jose Baez filed the paperwork at 5 p.m. Friday. He is asking Judge Stan Strickland to declare Anthony indigent for costs, meaning she does not have the money to fund her defense.

Anthony has already paid Baez and death penalty expert Andrea Lyon $111,954, but Baez said that is not enough to give Anthony the defense she needs, and taxpayers should make up the difference. Nearly $90,000 of the amount was used for Baez's fees, the remainder covered Lyon's costs. She is working on the case for free.
Baez said Anthony was willing to pay for her defense until the state put the death penalty back on the table, making her unable to cover the expense.

The motion asks the state to cover the cost of depositions, transcripts, investigators, legal research, expert witness fees, medical or mental examinations, travel expenses and other costs the defense has or will incur.
Legal experts said defending a complex death penalty murder case like Anthony's can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially when potential witnesses and experts are dispersed around the country.

Baez estimated the total cost of defending Anthony will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If Strickland signs the order, Florida taxpayers will pick up the bill for the defense costs, but not the defense fees.

The state has more than $14 million set aside this year to pay for indigent criminal defense.

The question of how Anthony will be able to pay for her defense has prompted a great deal of speculation about possible movie deals and book rights. It is not known how she paid the more than $100,000 that has already been paid to the defense.

9 CDs Of DNA Evidence Released In Casey Case
Young Mother Charged With First-Degree Murder

UPDATED: 9:48 am EST March 10, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. --
Nine discs of new evidence were released in the case against Casey Anthony Wednesday morning.

The CDs feature DNA charts and graphs with no explanation, and no new photos or documents.

Anthony, 23, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Caylee's remains were found in a wooded area off Suburban Drive near the Anthony family home in east Orange County. Authorities said the toddler had duct tape over her mouth.

Anthony maintains a nanny by the name of Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped Caylee from a park in East Orlando.
The young mother is also involved in a check fraud case in which she is accused of stealing checks from her friend, Amy Huzienga, and going on shopping sprees at Target. She recently pleaded guilty to those charges. Anthony gave a tearful apology during a court hearing recently, saying she wished she had been a better friend.
The death of Caylee has been the center of controversy and national media attention since the then 2-year-old went missing in the summer of 2008.

Since then, protesters have started riots outside the Anthonys' home, Casey Anthony has been in and out of jail, family members and close friends have been called to depositions and key players in the case, including Anthony's lead defense attorney, Jose Baez, have appeared on CNN's "Nancy Grace."

At one point, the pressure and scrutiny seemed to be too much for George Anthony, Caylee's grandfather, to bear. He holed himself up in a Daytona Beach hotel room and left the family a five-page suicide note. He was found under the influence of alcohol and medication and was taken to a facility under the Baker Act.

The mess began to unravel July 15, 2008 when the family's matriarch, Cindy Anthony, called 911 and reported Caylee missing. A frantic Cindy told dispatchers that she wanted to press charges against her daughter, Casey, for stealing her car and money.

Cindy Anthony said in the calls that Casey admitted that Caylee had been missing a month.

In yet another call to 911, the grandmother and ex-nurse told authorities that Casey's car smelled like there was a dead body inside.
"There's something wrong," Cindy Anthony told the dispatcher. "I found my daughter's car today, and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car."

Cindy later denied that claim, citing rotten pizza as the culprit for the smell.

Leading up to December 2008, the group Texas EqquSearch, including leader Tim Miller and volunteers, searched high and low for any sign of Caylee. After months of intense searching, it was a meter reader named Roy Kronk who stumbled upon the toddler's remains while relieving himself in the woods.

Casey Anthony is in the Orange County Jail awaiting her murder trial. She has pleaded not guilty. Her trial has been pushed back several times, with requests from Baez for a change of venue.

Anthony's latest trial date is set for May 9, 2011.

DNA test results released as Casey Anthony evidence
Prosecutors hand out CDs, but the files are incomprehensible

Nine CDs of evidence in the first-degree murder case against Casey Anthony that were released by the state this morning contained no bombshells.

In fact, the dozens of files included in the nine CDs — all related to DNA test results — are incomprehensible.

There is no context to the charts and graphs that are among the files.

Among the items are DNA tests results and measurements from chromatographs.

A chromatograph is a device that separates mixtures of substances, such as gases, into identifiable components.

The release adds to the thousands of pages of documents already released in the case against Anthony, who is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, in 2008.

Anthony has entered a plea of not guilty and is being held in the Orange County Jail without bond.

They should also declare her Repugnant 

Updated: 10:59 am EST March 10,2010
New Evidence Released; Casey Declared Indigent
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- New evidence in the case against Casey Anthony was released Wednesday morning, but it's incomprehensible. The new documents come just hours after the Orange County Clerk of Courts agreed that Anthony cannot afford to pay for her own defense, leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab.

Ten discs containing information that could be used in Casey Anthony's trial were released Wednesday morning. All of the files require proprietary software and, even using the software, only some of the files would open for WFTV. Sources told WFTV that the State Attorney's Office and the defense had similar problems actually accessing the files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE OF EVIDENCE: See 'Incomprehensible' Evidence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The files that did open are charts that would require an expert to decipher (see an example). In addition to problems with the files, the files lack any labeling that would explain who the charts relate to, for instance Casey or Lee.

WFTV is working to make more sense of the evidence that was released and will report new details throughout the day.

Meanwhile, Casey Anthony says she is broke and can no longer afford to pay to defend herself against the murder charges she is facing. Late Tuesday night, the Orange County Clerk of Courts agreed and declared her indigent.

However, criminal defense attorney Chris Smith said that should be the least of anyone's worries.

“The real concern is they did this case and it wasn't prepared properly and has to be tried all over again. I think that's where everybody's real concern should be,” Smith said.

Casey has already paid lead attorney Jose Baez nearly $90,000 and Andrea Lyons has received more than $20,000 in compensation. Smith said that is nothing when you consider all the work that has gone into the case since Caylee Anthony was killed two years ago.

“Those fees are actually pretty low given the amount of work in this case,” Smith said.

Smith said that the real cost to defend Casey will start now, now that taxpayers will pay for investigations, expert witnesses and her attorneys’ salaries. Casey is not scheduled to go to trial until May 2011 and there could be appeals after the trial.

Smith said taxpayers should not worry about that too much, because every dollar spent on indigent defendants is closely monitored by the Justice Administrative Commission in Tallahassee.

“You have to go through a very intense process to get every cost approved prior. You’re going to have to go and get it authorized to get paid subsequent. So they get two hearings,” explained Smith. “The Justice Administrative Commission doesn't give up its money very easily. They’re going to file a lot of motions [and] fight for every dime.”

Before their client was declared indigent, Casey’s attorneys were not required to disclose how much money was being spent. Now, everything becomes public record.

Some of the money to pay Baez and Lyons may have come from hundreds of thousands of dollars that the ABC network paid Casey for exclusive photos and videos of her daughter she is accused of killing. Sources told Eyewitness News that most of defense attorney Andrea Lyons’ compensation has been spent on airfare and investigations.

Indigency Hearing Slated In Anthony Case
Judge Sets Hearing For March 18

UPDATED: 5:44 pm EST March 10, 2010

Casey Anthony is one step closer on Wednesday to getting tax money to help pay for her defense.

Based on an affidavit that Anthony filled out, Orange County's Clerk of Court Lydia Gardner late Monday declared Anthony indigent.

Judge Stan Strickland scheduled an indigency hearing for March 18. He will then decide whether to approve the declaration.

Anthony's defense would be able to apply to the state to help recoup costs if Strickland gives his approval.

Defense attorney Jose Baez said Anthony has given full financial disclosure. She also signed a form detailing how she has no money to mount a defense. Gardner made the indigency declaration based on the form.

"It's the most vague and superficial affidavit you can possible have," Attorney Richard Hornsby said.

Before Anthony qualifies for public funding, Hornsby said Strickland needs to probe much deeper than the one-page form.

"I've got to think that Judge Strickland is going to make Casey Anthony and Jose Baez make a full disclosure of how much he was paid, who brokered the deal, who managed the funds, where the funds have been sitting since Casey Anthony has been in jail," Hornsby said.

Also added to the court file on Wednesday was a letter from a citizen in Fernandina Beach encouraging Strickland to decline Anthony's request and appoint a public defender to her case. Others echoed that sentiment.

"It doesn't sit well that she had the money and spent it and gave it all to the lawyers and now expects us to pay for it," a citizen said.

"You have Casey Anthony, who is now a convicted fraud, who is claiming indigence and is claiming that she somehow had $111,000 while she's been in jail," Hornsby said.

The question remains whether Anthony will have to disclose where she got the money she had before she can be entitled to public money in the future.

Woman Claims She Had Affair With George Anthony

Updated: 4:17 pm EDT March 15,2010

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- WFTV learned Friday that a woman said she had a relationship with Casey Anthony’s father, George Anthony and that woman was questioned by detectives.

It turns out that woman looks a lot like the description George gave detectives of Zenaida Gonzalez, also known as ”Zanny the nanny."

Casey claimed it was the nanny who took her daughter, Caylee Anthony.

Skye Benhaida told WFTV that her sister provided investigators with information that she was having an affair with George Anthony that started soon after Casey was arrested. She said it lasted for about a year

"She was in love with George," said Benhaida.

Benhaida said George told her sister that Caylee's death was an accident. But she said her sister never asked about Caylee's death.

"She told him that, 'I would never ask you that.' In reply, he said it was an accident that snowballed out of control," Benhaida said.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says if George really did say Caylee's death was an accident, it's bad news for the defense.

"This would apparently foreclose any defense that someone outside of the Anthony family is responsible for that child's death," said Sheaffer.

Benhaida claims George apparently used her sister as a model for what Zenaida, the alleged nanny, looked like; right down to a tattoo that her sister has.

Benhaida said, "Nice teeth and a tattoo down her left arm."

She said her sister gave George almost $5,000 over the course of their affair and was told by investigators that George had taken money from other women as well.

The sister also said that she had photos on a phone of she and George in intimate situations and shared them with detectives as well as the numerous text messages they exchanged using all three of George's cell phones.

WFTV asked George Anthony’s lawyer about the issue and he said he's not received any information from investigators about it. Also, he would not answer any direct questions about whether George had an affair with the woman, but he did not deny that it happened.

Casey's defense team spokeswoman's response to WFTV’s questions about all of this was "no comment."

Meanwhile, two new motions were filed Friday in the case and neither of the documents are good news for Casey’s defense team.

Judge Stan Strickland denied Casey's attorneys request to stop the Orange County jail from videotaping their visits.

Her lawyer's said the security video intrudes on their attorney-client privilege, but the judge didn't agree.

Lawyers for Texas EquuSearch filed a motion responding to the defense.

Attorney Mark Nejame says the organization can't give more information about a volunteer because she wasn't assigned to search the area where Caylee's remains were found.

Also, Casey's parents have hired a new lawyer to help them save their home from foreclosure.

Attorney Mark Lippman is now representing George and Cindy Anthony, according to paperwork filed in Orange County.

WFTV first reported last month when the Anthony's home on Hopespring Drive went into foreclosure, after they failed to make a mortgage payment for nine months.

The family's home is the last known place Caylee was seen alive.

State will fund Casey Anthony's defense, judge orders
By Emanuella Grinberg and Jean Casarez, CNN/InSession
March 19, 2010 5:03 p.m. EDT

The state of Florida must fund some of Casey Anthony's defense in her first-degree murder trial for the death of daughter Caylee, a judge ruled Friday.

"All costs submitted shall be in compliance with the Ninth Judicial Circuit's caps and rates and are subject to further review," Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland said in a order issued Friday.

Anthony's defense team told the court Thursday that she was broke and could not bear expenses associated with her defense.

Anthony's lead attorney, Jose Baez, and Chicago death penalty attorney Andrea Lyon said in a four-page motion that they are not asking the state to pay their legal fees. They asked for assistance with fees for the service of subpoenas, investigations, travel, experts to interpret forensic evidence, expert witness fees and the cost of depositions.

The defense attorneys argued that Anthony is entitled to financial assistance under the Constitution's Sixth Amendment, which protects her right to a fair trial.

Because prosecutors have indicated they are seeking the death penalty, Anthony also is entitled to "the unique standard of care required for a capital defense," the attorneys assert.

Caylee Anthony's body was found in a lot near her grandparents' home in December 2008. The grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, have been supportive of Casey Anthony but now are fighting foreclosure, according to a complaint filed by Bank of America.

Baez testified Thursday that the defense received and spent about $275,000 over the past year and a half. Of that, $5,000 came from an anonymous donor; $70,000 came from a former defense attorney, Todd Macaluso; and $200,000 came from ABC through a "deal" with Anthony. The terms of the deal were not released.

That money, Baez said, was spent on defense costs including travel, depositions and retention of experts.

"It's been quite an expensive task," he said.

It wouldn't have been if she had fessed up in the beginning. 
She is guilty and everyone knows it!
