Biggest-Yet Caylee Search Planned
Pretrial Hearing Held In Anthony Case

POSTED: 9:37 am EST November 5, 2008
UPDATED: 5:53 pm EST November 5, 2008


ORLANDO, Fla. -- The search for Caylee Anthony is about to kick in to high gear this weekend.

Texas Equusearch is back in town, and they hope to conduct their largest search ever this weekend.

With water levels and temperatures down, the group hopes to attract 3,000 or more volunteers from 30 states to search three main areas beginning Saturday at 8 a.m.

The group has spent the day getting reorganized. They plan to establish a command post near Orlando International Airport in an area where cell phone records show Casey Anthony spent time. They're asking for volunteers to come out with horses, ATVs and boats. They plan to do a lot of water searching using sophisticated sonar equipment.

Equusearch leader, Tim Miller, said the group has been mapping for three weeks and has an incredible set of maps put together.

"What a better gift could this whole county have than some closure in this case. They've been involved with this almost the entire year," Miller said.

At the same time, they said they plan to do a companion search for Jennifer Kesse. The Orlando woman vanished from her condo near the Millenia Mall almost three years ago.

Also on Wednesday, the state attorney's office said technical difficulties are preventing them from releasing 200 pages of new documents in the case against Casey Anthony.

Meanwhile, a pretrial hearing was held for Casey Anthony on check-fraud charges on Wednesday.

Anthony was not required to attend the hearing.

A judge was asked to consider putting aside the check-fraud case until she's faced trial on murder charges involving the death of her daughter. The judge said it would be taken under advisement.

Another pretrial hearing is also scheduled for Dec. 11 in that case.

Prosecutors said they believe they have enough evidence to prove she killed Caylee Anthony even though a body has not been found.

 

I am still catching up or ... catching back.

 

When I consider the happenings of today ... I have a positive feeling that this upcoming TES  search is going to be the catalyst which affords Caylee Marie the respect she deserves ... the catalyst that affords Caylee Marie a dignified burial.

"Anthony's defense team also raises the possibility that Caylee may have been poisoned by chloroform, saying, "Death may have occurred while the child was sedated or from an unwitting overdose of a sedative."

Holy cow!  Admitting the truth?!?!!? 

Link please!!

Thanks 3bsmom.

[LizzySF]

Up until now, there were opposing views between people...She DID or DID NOT kill her.  Now the opposing views will be among the group that believes she did kill her...just different..COLD BLOODED MURDERER deserves the DP or MENTALLY ILL needs to be institutionalized for a few years.

[mammy]

Maybe Baez is trying to force the prosecution to combine the charges.

[Tamikosmom]

Ok so we have Todd Black admitting the death of Caylee.
We have Cindy's infamous 911 call.
We have George looking out into the mass woods were TES has and will be searching.

We have this:

Thursday, Casey's attorney said it's not in her best interest to tell what she knows about where Caylee is.

"It does her no good to show her cards to give the prosecution any advantage they have to put her away for life," Jose Baez said.

Every convicted murderer who has had her/his received the ultimate consequence for his/her actions was once a baby, toddler, preteen, teen and adult.  What is the defence's motive in presenting pictures of Casey Anthony growing up.  This mades me all the more angry.  It is a reminder that ...

CAYLEE MARIE WAS DEPRIVED OF HER GOD-GIVEN LIFE BY CASEY ANTHONY.  IT WAS CASEY ANTHONY WHO MADE THE DECISION NOT TO ALLOW CAYLEE MARIE TO EXPERIENCE THE BLESSINGS THAT HER GOD-GIVEN LIFE HAD TO OFFER.

Why should Casey Anthony be afforded the gift of life when it was her who took the the life of another?

THE SCALES OF JUSTICE MUST BALANCE!!!



Janet

My thought was, so what, Casey has happy pictures as a child.... does that mean that anyone can go steal, lie, murder and cover it up and should get away with it because they used to be happy?

It does sound like they are admitting the overdose or chloroform  and her guilt.  They just have to find the right lie for what she did.

Things are moving fast this week... tells me they are afraid of TES.  They should be!!

[mytime]

IMO - It will be harder for the DA to get the DP without any prior convictions.  Perhaps that is why Baez is stalling the fraud charges?

[TxLady2]

OMG..seriously? post partem depression.....after 2 years....wow....

Casey was acting erratic and mental because she was a complete and total waste of space and was too selfish to take care of her own baby!


How can George and Cindy seriously feel sorry for her for having post partem depression!??? Lots of women go through it, and we dont kill our babies!

Andrea yates was treated for postpartum depression for 2 years prior to murdering her children at which time she was found to be in an acute psychotic episode.

Andrea Yates is in a mental institution in Rusk, after the court overturned her first conviction. I don't think she will ever get out.

Oh wow - good point.

[marymary]

Ok I've never really involved myself in the discussion of molestation of Casey.  However, reading the defenses statement and seeing the pictures of Casey and family, I can't help but wonder if this issue will somehow be included as a factor for Casey's mental illness.  Most assuredly they will use the post partom depression effect too.  I really feel something is going down and Caylee will be located this weekend.   I also think that one of the witnesses has spilled the beans on Casey sedating Caylee.  Just my vibes.

I hadn't thought about that.  Great point!

GET OUT YOUR DANCING SHOES MISS JANET!!

[TxLady2]

I have a feeling that Baez is working up to an insanity defense.

Her mental state (ha) might be brought in at sentencing, as a mitigating factor, but the legal definition of insanity is that the person did not know at the time of the crime, that it was illegal.     If you make any effort to conceal a crime (such as lying to the police) you blow your chances of  using that defense.   

I agree. But correct that definition to say, "the inability to know right from wrong." Illegal just doesn't cut it. There are many things that are not illegal but still wrong.

An experienced defense attorney was recently retained on Anthony's behalf, and he's hoping the photos and his 30-page argument will convince prosectors.

"In this case, no one knows how death might have happened, if at all," stated the document, which was also obtained by Local 6 News. "If death did occur, the death was almost certainly a tragic accident."

Anthony's defense team also raises the possibility that Caylee may have been poisoned by chloroform, saying, "Death may have occurred while the child was sedated or from an unwitting overdose of a sedative."

Anthony's attorneys are also trying to show prosecutors that their client is an unlikely candidate for the death penalty because of her age and lack of a criminal record. Attorneys said the evidence suggests Anthony was a good, loving mother but also a troubled woman, who may be suffering from depression or other mental conditions, Local 6 News reported.

The defense admits that Anthony "spent money she does not have, wrote bad checks, had multiple unstable relationships and participated in risky behavior."

The state attorney has until Nov. 24 to announce whether it will seek the death penalty.

Attorney seeks to spare Casey Anthony from death penalty
Sarah Lundy

Sentinel Staff Writer

4:33 PM EST, November 5, 2008

A Miami lawyer hired by Casey Anthony's defense team gave prosecutors Wednesday a report that outlined why the single mother accused of killing her child should not get the death penalty.

The 30-page packet highlights problems with some of the evidence, defines how details in Anthony's case does not fit the state criteria needed for the death penalty -- a penalty reserved for the worst of the worst homicides.

It touches on Anthony's erratic behavior after her daughter's birth that suggests signs of emotional or mental distress. The report ended with pictures of Anthony during happier times as a child surrounded by her parents and her brother.

"Casey Anthony is a unique individual. A close inspection of her case clearly supports not filing a notice seeking death," attorney Terence Lenamon wrote in a report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

The State Attorney's Office would not confirm whether it received the report, which is not public record. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie, who was reported missing on July 15. The body of Caylee – who would have turned 3 in August – has not been found.

Anthony told investigators that she left Caylee with a baby sitter in mid-June. When she returned later that day, both the baby sitter and Caylee were gone. Detectives have not been able to locate the baby sitter and question whether she exists.

Prosecutors have not decided yet whether the state will pursue the death penalty. If they do seek death, the trial will be divided into two sections: the guilt/innocent phase and the sentence phase.

Lenamon's report addresses the sentence phase when the jury hears both why she should and should not get the death penalty.

Some of the reasons outlined against death include: Lenamon pointed out the analysis techniques used on hair and air samples from her trunk to prove decomposition are "novel, experimental, in the early stages of development, inconclusive and high susceptible to mishandling," he wrote. Even if the evidence is enough for a guilty verdict, it would not be enough to support the death penalty, Lenamon wrote.

Details of the Anthony case to do not rise to the level required for the death penalty, he wrote. She doesn't have a criminal record. There is no history of abuse. The crime was not cold, calculated and premeditated. In the months leading up to Caylee's disappearance, Anthony's behavior was described by friends and family as "erratic and not entirely rational."

He wrote that filicide – the act of a parent killing a child – is different than other homicides. The underlying reasons why mothers kill are complex and can be divided into various categories. For example, one type is a parent who kills under influence of mental illness. Another type suggests a parent's motive may be to save the child from real or imagined harm.

Juries are more likely to show mothers mercy. He mentioned Andrea Yates – a Texas mother who drowned all five children – was sentenced to life in prison. Susan Smith, the Arkansas mother who pushed her car with her two children inside in a lake, got life in prison.

Lenamon wrote that experts will likely agree that Anthony as "suffering from episodes of extreme emotional distress and disturbance since her daughter's birth." Even the lack of emotion after her child's disappearance and arrest "is not normal," he wrote.

Lenamon also refers to other Orange County cases involving the death of a child. For example, Anita Simmons, who beat her 8-year-old daughter to death, got 42 years in prison.

"A careful consideration of the totality of the circumstances in this case leads to a clear conclusion that a filing a notice of the death penalty is no the right thing to do," he wrote.
 

I'm sorry if this as already been pointed out, but this atty is so "uninformed" he doesn't realize that Susan Smith was from Union S.C.~good choice Baez!

"Anthony's defense team also raises the possibility that Caylee may have been poisoned by chloroform, saying, "Death may have occurred while the child was sedated or from an unwitting overdose of a sedative."



Holy cow!  Admitting the truth?!?!!? 

I anticipate that we will start to hear more leaks like this.  Baez and the Anthonys realize that the possibility of TES finding Caylee is good.  The Anthony team has done everything possible to thwart Tim Miller's efforts, but they haven't succeeded and in less than 72 hours the new search will begin.  They are no doubt going for accidental death and psychological problems as Casey's defense.  I also suspect that her brother, Lee, will be blamed for part of her psychological problems whether he is actually responsible or not.  This decision was no doubt the reason why Lee's girlfriend bailed out on him and why he hasn't been seen for a very long time.  The Anthony efforts to stop Tim and continue claims that Caylee is alive have been an exercise in futility in an attempt to create reasonable doubt for Casey and prevent lethal injection.  The Anthonys will continue to make attempts to block Tim from finding Caylee, and Baez will continue to do everything possible to get a lighter sentence for Casey.

I have no doubt that the Anthonys and Baez know that Caylee is deceased and that Casey is responsible.  I am still skeptical about anything that Casey has admitted, but time will tell.  Casey made it very clear in her poem that she had no intention of telling anyone or trusting anyone.  She is a narcissist and a pathological liar.  Baez is keeping her out of court and the public eye at this point because he knows that public sentiment is so negative.  At this point, Baez probably wants her to appear as psychologically disturbed as possible to help with her defense.  We will see a stoic, cold young woman, if we see her at all.

Give Tim and TES your prayers right now that they will find Caylee.  When Caylee is found, forensics will be helpful in sealing Casey's fate and the Anthonys will no longer be able to disparage Tim Miller.  Don't look for any reaction from Casey, though.

Search for Caylee starts Saturday

Where's Caylee? 

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Texas based Equusearch is back in Orlando to resume their search for Caylee Anthony .

The man in charge of Texas Equusearch, Tim Miller and his team are back in Orlando gearing up for this weekend's search for Caylee and Jennifer Kesse .
   
With maps and some help from the Orange County Sheriffs office, Tim and his team have identified three key areas to concentrate on. “These three areas where all the phone activity happened. Anywhere from a five to eight mile radius around all three towers and use some common sense on where someone could go and to possibly sump something and get out without being seen.”
   
Miller had to call off the last search because much of the area they needed to comb through was under water. This time Miller says conditions are right. “Water is way down, its fall, vegetation is starting to die down, another plus for us and we're hoping the weather stays cool...better for searchers.”

So far they have 250 team leaders signed up. Equusearch is expecting thousands of volunteers which Miller says has had him thinking and feeling optimistic. “Maybe it's God's time.  The holidays are right ahead of us.   What better gift to give to this family and this community than bringing this to a close.”

The new command center for Equusearch is at Shadow Ridge and Lee Vista Boulevard. There is training on Friday night from 6pm to 9pm.

The Anthony family has a new command and volunteer center.  The Kid Finders Network Official Search & Volunteer Center is at 1602 S. Goldenrod Road in Orlando. It is open daily 9 a.m.-4p.m.

For further information please call1-877-ONE-LOST
 

Thanks Klaas.

I believe that Tim Miller is right on!!!

Hey Monkeys ... do not forget about the TES Prayer Thread.  The time slots of the November 8th Chart is filled but ... I would be honored if one or two Monkeys would consider joining me in my time slot.

Holy cow!  Admitting the truth?!?!!? 

WOW - I was so busy copying and pasteing I missed that!  So they are going to try and say Casey was "troubled" and sedated Caylee and Caylee accidentally died. 

So hide her little body in the woods

[mizjay]

It is interesting that this statement is released just before the document dump!!! I really have to wonder what impact those documents and the search by TES this weekend have to do with this statement being released at this time!!

Yes, my thought exactly..AND...George staring into the woods, TES reporting a few minutes ago that the command center site has just changed..new location to be announced (George's woods?)who knows...Interesting too...on the Anthony's myspace...today was the first day that NO mood icon was on it.  It usually says, HOPEFUL or OPTIMISTIC...nada, nothin' today.  Maybe Casey finally admitted to it, and has told them where her body is and LE will go and retrieve her before TES has to come.  Her sentence will be lighter too if she confesses and leads them to her body and she avoids the 3000 person TES search...they WILL take that into consideration.

Update...I checked back to the Anthony's myspace...mood icon now back and says HOPEFUL.  It was missing all day...

TELLS ME THAT THE A"S MONITOR THIS SITE !!!!!    A LITTLE TOO COINCIDENTAL< COULDN"T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES FROM WHEN YOU FIRST REPORTED IT>
HATE TO HAVE THEM HERE BUT MAYBE THEY"LL LEARN SOMETHING
