Although I am hoping the State has an ace in the hole (such as fingerprint evidence on the duct tape) I don't think they can withhold that evidence, or anything else for that matter, from the Defense.  The link below discusses Florida law on discovery evidence.  Now I'm not the the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree when it comes to this legal stuff but if I'm interpretting the information on this site correctly I'd say that IF the State does hold a trump card the Defense should already be aware of it.  Perhaps a brighter monkey may know for sure about the rules related to turning over evidence collected by the State to the Defense.

The way I understand it is, the defense has to ask the State for the discovery evidence and if they don't make it clear and specific the State doesn't have to give it to them. At least that is what has happened here when Baez was asking evidence earlier in the trial. I am probably wrong, usually am. Wish Capp was here to answer this question. JSM

I am with you on this, JSM. I don't think the SA has to box everything they have and truck it over to Bozo. He has to ask specifically for what he wants. JMO

P.S.   Thanks to all the great monkeys for letting me rant (and ramble).
 

I totally agree with you

Do you think it is Cindy and company harassing Richard Grund and his family?

Thanks Fanny. I thought that was the way it worked.

Absolutely, no doubt.

I DO

I think so.He should just let it rip and tell everything he knows about the Anthonys.

Me too!!! But maybe he can't because it will all come out in the trial.

You got a point there,dagnabit.

Sometimes I just wish Mr Grund would go after the Anthonys big time, but he probably figures that would not be the right thing to do. He just needs to sit quietly and wait for their punishment to be handed out to them. And it will.

Excellent post Madre! 

I second or third that post, Madre!!!! You've expressed what we are all thinking......

Casey Anthony Trial Pushed To Next Year
She's Accused In The Death Of Her Daughter Caylee
Prosecutors Plan To Seek The Death Penalty

Jul 8, 2009 10:26 am US/Eastern

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― 
The trial of an Orlando mother accused of killing her daughter has been pushed forward to next year.

Tuesday a judge granted a request to move the trial from October, 2009 to some time in the summer of 2010. No specific date was announced.

Anthony, 23, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. The child's remains were found in a wooded area less than a mile from her home nearly five months after she disappeared. Casey Anthony, who maintains the girl was kidnapped by a babysitter, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

State prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty in this case.

Great post, Madre!  I've been feeling that way about Strickland for a while, since probably in March when that hearing for how Bozo is getting paid was held.  While some say he does these things to prevent a possible appeal, I too think his pandering to Casey, Bozo and the Anthonys is over the top.  And I really can't take him not giving Bozo a much deserved smackdown b/c of his wasting the court's and public's time and money filing incorrect motions!!!  He is geting on my last nerve in all honesty!

Caylee Anthony’s Mother’s Fate Postponed Until January 2010

Posted on July 8th, 2009 by Jan Barrett in Society and Culture

Was this a victory for Casey Anthony or a disappointment? Does she really want to sit in jail for that long waiting to have her day in court so (as her lawyer put it) we can all hear her side of it and then we will say oh, now we understand! I doubt anyone will ever be saying that. To begin with NO ONE in their right mind would sit in jail for all that time IF they had evidence that they were innocent. They wouldn’t be waiting for their “day in court’ to present this evidence. Baez must think we are all as dumb as he is. Casey loved to party too much. There is no way she would give her partying up just so she can have her day in court.

Her team of lawyers appeared before Judge Stan Strickland along with the prosecutors for the case requesting a postponement from the October trial.

One of Casey’s ‘specialty’ lawyers, Dr. Andrea Lyon, a so called death penalty expert, claims that her teaching schedule at DePaul University won’t allow her enough time to prepare for the trial which was originally set for October 12 th.

She told Judge Strickland, “I will be making a motion at this time to strike that date, to set a status date sometime in January and to set a trial date at that time when all parties know where we are.”

Now Judge Strickland has agreed to set the pretrial hearing for January 21st at 10 am EST. So I guess this will be another Christmas in jail for Casey!

In other movements involving Casey Anthony, Jose (sleazebag) Baez has graciously agreed to allow prosecutors to take a picture of Casey’s tattoo but stipulates that he will only allow it if he is present. Why does he feel the need to be present?

Also on the table was that prosecutors had filed a motion on June 23rd asking that a trial be set within 2 months where Casey is charged with stealing checks and money from her then friend Amy Huizenga but the defense (no doubt the sleazebag himself) wants it postponed until after Casey’s murder trial. The judge wants documentation from Huizenga stating that she wants to invoke her right to a speedy trial. He said he will decide on that once he has heard arguments from both sides.

Apparently WKMG has filed a motion to intervene Judge Strickland’s decision to block the jailhouse video of Casey Anthony on December 11, 2008, the day Caylee’s remains were found. The video is said to show a reaction from Casey that she had never shown before as if she knew she was busted. From the way the reaction has been described my opinion would be it was because she knew all the other times when something was found it couldn’t have been Caylee so she wasn’t worried but when she heard about this one she knew it was the remains of her daughter. This reaction came before a positive identification had even been made. No court date has been set yet for this.

As everyone should know 2 year old Caylee Anthony disappeared in mid June 2008 and wasn’t reported missing til July 15, 2008, 31 days later. Her mother, Casey claims the ‘Nanny’ ran off with Caylee and a trail of lies has followed after that from Casey. State prosecutors have decided to charge Casey with first degree murder and if she is convicted the state plans to ask for the death penalty. Caylee’s remains were found less than a half a mile from the Anthony’s home in a wooded area where Casey and her friend use to bury their dead pets.

Let’s hope that little Caylee will get the justice she so rightfully deserves in this and the person responsible for taking her life never sees another free day in her life again if she doesn’t get he death penalty.

Caylee life goes on for all of us but you can believe that you will never be forgotten. The world waits for your justice so you may rest in peace. God bless you honey, we still love you!

Good Afternoon Monkeys!

Keep an eye on Cleveland's newspapers. I read, through another forum, that a news station in Cleveland is doing an investigation about the donation of the Anthony bears.  I hope this is true!

I just want to point out that Jan 2010 is not so good for Andrea either.  Her book is due out in Jan 2010 and I am sure this nasty DP trial will not fit in with her book signing and media tour to pimp it.  On the other hand, moving the trial to coincide with the book release could also be a very calculated tactical move so that she can piggy back off of the trial to get a media tour going and pimp her book just like LKL and MR LKB just did (learning from the co-council?) Maybe she has plans to hire a bus and take the whole lot of them on a magical mystery ride with Judge Stan the Man Ito as the conductor while Andrea drives the bus?

Hope they mention the scratch and sniff option that does not work so good in clinical settings.
