Frantic 911 call launched year-long Caylee drama
<snipped>
(CNN) -- One year ago, a sheriff's dispatcher in Orange County, near Orlando, Florida, received a strange 911 call. A small child was missing -- and had been for a month.
 The child's grandmother was frantic, talking a mile a minute. But her mother seemed unemotional, disconnected from the drama around her.

So began the Caylee Anthony case, a mystery that became a nightly fixture on cable television and captivated true-crime buffs across the country.

Today, the child's 23-year-old mother, Casey Anthony, is in jail, charged with first-degree murder, and faces the death penalty if convicted. She denies harming her daughter or having anything to do with her disappearance.

Her attorney, Jose Baez, has said that once all the facts are known, it will become clear that his client is innocent.

Hey CC.I hanging in there like a rusty fishhook 
Thanks for the video.   

   I know what you mean.  I'm feeling really flat today.  A very sad "anniversary".  (And the report on Nevaeh being buried alive).  It all has me really down & sad.
 

[tupelohoney]

I'm totally pizzed now that Fl. taxpayers are going to be footing the bill for Casey's defense. She has all these prominent lawyers on her team and we now have to pay for that??? I'm seeing red right now. Is this standard procedure to have all these types of specialty lawyers for your defense at the taxpayers expense? Anyone know?

   Good one seeme!

  Hope everyone enjoys their morning & hope to catch back up to you later.

Amy to Casey 1:13 a.m.: The flight is in at 1130. I’ll call in the morning.

9:30 a.m. Chris Stutz on his way to work saw a girl that looked exactly like Casey running down Chickasaw. He texted Casey and asked if it was her and she said no.

Amy to Casey: Thanks man. So at the airport, no Ricardo.

George went to pick up the car at Johnson Towing. He did not have cash and said he would have to come back. He asked where they found the car. He was gone a couple of hours.

George returned to Johnson Towing with Cindy. Cindy was upset over the total bill and asked for a discount. Page 4. Mr. Burch took George back to get the car. George put the key in the driver’s door, opened the door and Mr. Burch said “smell was pungent” and “it knocked me back”. Page 6. Mr. Burch suggested they open the trunk. He said, “Well here, let me, give me the keys and we’ll open the trunk up and there’s probably something really garbage in here or whatever”. They open the trunk and there was flies and stuff and a real bad smell. There is a garbage in the trunk. Mr. Burch takes the bag and throws it over the fence into a dumpster.

Cindy called Amy around 5:00 p.m. and said Casey was in a lot of trouble and Casey might go to jail if Cindy does not find her. Cindy picked up Amy at the mall and Amy directed her to Tone’s apartment. Amy learned of Casey’s stealing and lies on the drive to Tone’s. Amy also learned “that the house wasn’t happening”.

Nathan and Tone were playing a video game and Casey was on her laptop when there was a knock at the door. It was Amy. Casey went outside. About half hour later, Casey came in with Cindy. Cindy told her to get her things, Casey said she was coming back.

It was approximately 8:00 p.m. Later Tone tried to text Casey when he heard her phone go off in his apartment, so he called Amy. Amy told Tone about Casey ripping her off. Approximately twenty minutes later, Tone received a phone call from Lee. Lee told him Caylee was missing.

The Pontiac was n the garage with the trunk open and windows rolled down he assumed to “ventilate the horrible smell that I had (chuckles) just, just uh, smelled for the first time. He entered the house. Nobody was home. He waited a few minutes and then called Cindy. She said she was thirty seconds from pulling in the driveway. Cindy and Casey were arguing.

I'm seeing red right now. Is this standard procedure to have all these types of specialty lawyers for your defense at the taxpayers expense? Anyone know?

First, I would be livid if I lived in Florida. There is no reason why Casey doesn't have a public defender, she has all these high profile people working for her, I'm not sure how this is going to work if she claims she is indigent. Many times a public defender has many more cases under his/her belt then some of these high priced lawyers.

Florida Law
Unwilling Public Defenders
Thanks to state cutbacks, more private attorneys can expect to become reluctant public defenders.

snipped:

 While Hagopian’s situation is rare, L.D. Murrell Jr., chairman of The Florida Bar’s criminal law section, expects more attorneys will find themselves in similar circumstances this year, particularly with many public defenders’ offices across the state swamped. Last year, for example, the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office stopped taking some felony cases. Miami-Dade Public Defender Bennett Brummer justified the move by saying budget cuts had left his office with too few attorneys to handle the work. Pinellas-Pasco Public Defender Bob Dillinger says budget cuts might force his office to reject some misdemeanor cases.

Murrell says a private attorney would “be a fool” to sign up to take one of those cases, since, in most instances, the most they could hope to be paid would be $2,500. “As a private defense attorney, I can tell you it costs me more to operate my office and stay in business than the justice administration commission is authorized to pay me,” he says. “So why should I sign up to go bankrupt?” Open-ended, potentially lengthy criminal cases aren’t good candidates for pro bono work, either. “I believe in pro bono,” Murrell says, “but I believe in selecting the cases I choose to be involved in.”

What Are My Constitutional Rights?
Criminal Law Areas

All persons arrested in the United States, regardless of whether they are citizens of this country, have constitutional rights that are provided for their protection. In the State of Florida you have rights that are provided either from the United States Constitution or the Constitution of the State of Florida.

You are probably familiar with many of the rights from watching television and movies. You have a right in most cases to a trial by jury. In Florida, except for capital crimes, the jury is made up of six (6) residents of the county where the offense occurred. You have the right to have this jury hear the witnesses and see the evidence. You have a right to be present during the trial and while the jury is hearing the case. You have the right to see, hear and confront the witnesses against you. You have the right to call witnesses of your own. If you wish to obtain witnesses but you cannot be sure that they will appear in court you can have the court issue a subpoena or order directing them to appear. You have the right to testify yourself should you choose to do so but nobody can make you testify if you do not want to. This is part of your right to remain silent.

You have the right to an attorney should you want one. If you want an attorney but you cannot afford an attorney and you qualify under Florida law you can be appointed a public defender to represent you. You do not necessarily have the right to pick which public defender will be your lawyer. The lawyer will act on your behalf before the trial, during the trial and after the trial. You have the right to have your attorney ask questions of the State's witnesses at the trial. This is called cross-examination.

You have the right to have the state prove its case against you beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt using lawfully obtained and admissible evidence. Finally, should you be unhappy with the results of your trial or case you have the right to an appeal. An appeal is a review by a higher court to see that you were treated fairly. If the higher court believes that there was an error of law then the appellate court has the power to correct the mistake.

You keep all of these rights by pleading not guilty. Not guilty says you deny the charges. Should you choose to plead otherwise you may plead guilty which means you admit the charge or no contest which neither admits nor denies the charge but which allows the court to treat you as if you had pled guilty.

The rights that we are given by our constitutions are important rights which many people in this world do not enjoy. It may be wise that before you give up or waive any of your constitutional rights that you discuss this matter with an attorney. Only you can decide to give up your constitutional rights. It is strongly suggested that you receive competent advice from a lawyer whom you trust before giving up your constitutional rights

I do live here in Florida and yes, I am livid! I wonder if this is what Nozo told Judge Strickland when Stan called him into his chambers to find out where the money for her defense was coming from. And if so, why were we not told then that this is the case.
