Casey Anthony will not go on trial next week for check fraud charges as was planned.

The State vs. Casey Anthony check fraud trial was originally scheduled to begin on Monday but instead a hearing status on the case will be heard before Circuit Judge Stan Strickland.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty on charges that she killed her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee Marie, claiming a babysitter kidnapped her toddler. Caylee was last seen in June of 2008, but she was not reported missing until a month later. Her remains were found in woods near the family's home in December.

Anthony is accused of writing check’s from her friend's bank account while her daughter Caylee was missing.

In addition to the status hearing on check fraud trial, the State Attorney’s Office says two motions filed in the murder case will be heard in court Monday.

EXCLUSIVE: Casey To Be Offered Deal In Fraud Case

Posted: 4:47 pm EST January 19, 2010Updated: 5:14 pm EST January 19, 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Until now, Casey Anthony has never admitted to a shred of guilt, but Eyewitness News has learned there will be a plea deal in her check fraud case.

Casey still faces charges for murdering her daughter and the outcome of the plea deal could affect that case, as well.
Casey is accused of stealing her best friend's checkbook. She faces 13 felony charges for it, which, if not for this deal, could have landed her in prison for 65 years.

A plea deal in the check fraud case certainly could explain why the defense has not yet deposed the alleged victim, Amy Huizenga, and it explains why the judge is not demanding that the trial start first thing Monday morning. He was adamant about the case going on January 25, no matter what, and even mentioned a plea as a possibility in court during one of the last hearings.

Casey Anthony told murder detectives they would never trick her into a confession that she killed her daughter Caylee. That was the day she was indicted for first-degree murder.

Now, Eyewitness News has learned she will take some legal responsibility for allegedly cleaning out hundreds of dollars from the bank account of her ex-best friend, Amy Huizenga. The evidence is clear, including security videos, receipts and canceled checks, and Casey has paid back the $664.25.

The terms of the plea deal are not so clear and might not be until Monday afternoon.

“Would you be surprised if all of the terms were not hammered out before that?” WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked legal analyst Bill Sheaffer.

“Absolutely. The defense in this case is not going to enter a plea to these charges without knowing what the situation is regarding adjudication of guilt,” he said.
Sheaffer says that's because the judge's ruling on whether to adjudicate or convict Casey of a crime, or withhold adjudication, would directly affect the defense's decision as to whether Casey would take the stand in her murder trial. If she were to have a conviction on her record, prosecutors could ask her about it and it would immediately affect her credibility in the eyes of the jurors.

“If this deal does not include a ‘withhold of adjudication,’ a decision has to have been made that we're not gonna put her on the witness stand,” Sheaffer said.

Eyewitness News asked the defense's spokeswoman why the defense team has not deposed Huizenga yet and was told defense attorney Andrea Lyons said there would be no comment about that.

Eyewitness News asked the State Attorney's Office about a possible plea deal and the spokeswoman said the only discussions about the case will happen in court.

A hearing in Casey’s check fraud case is expected to be held Monday afternoon. That's where Casey will likely plead. Two motions in the murder case are also expected to be heard during that hearing on January 25. The murder trial is supposed to start this year, but no date has been set yet.

You're welcome.  I don't believe the defense ever really thought there was any other plausible outcome.

Casey Anthony will accept some responsibility for cleaning out a friend’s bank account, WFTV-Channel 9’s Kathi Belich reported this evening.

The station reported there will be a plea deal at a hearing Monday afternoon in Anthony’s check-fraud case. The terms of the deal may not be clear until Monday afternoon, Belich said, but Anthony has paid back $664.25.

Only Belich had the story, as anchor Martie Salt noted. But Belich didn’t cite a source; she used “Channel 9 has learned” to introduce her exclusive.

“A plea deal certainly could explain why the defense has not yet deposed alleged victim Amy Huizenga and could explain why the judge is OK with the trial not starting first thing Monday morning,” Belich said.

The check-fraud trial had been set to start Monday.

The plea deal will be important in Anthony’s murder trial. She is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer explained why the details on the plea deal won’t be clear until Monday. “The defense in this case is not going to enter a plea to these charges without knowing exactly what the status is regarding adjudication of guilt,” he said.

And what might that mean at the murder trial? “If this deal does not include a withholding of adjudication, a decision has to have been made that we’re not going to put her on the witness stand,” Sheaffer added.

What were the two sides telling Belich? Defense attorney Andrea Lyon, through a spokeswoman, said there would be no comment about why the defense team hadn’t deposed Huizenga. The State Attorney’s Office said that any discussions about the case would happen in court

Damn! I really wanted her to stand trial for the checks! I wanted her wide azz up on that stand looking her ex-best friend in the eye and say Naaaa I didn't do it. The whole courtroom gasps  Oh No! She did not just say that! The jury stands up and says we don't need no freaking time to decide.... GUILTY! Throw the switch! Yes, never in Florida history has there been a death penalty decided for check fraud, but the good people of Florida has had enough of Casey and her family! There is a shortage of bean dip and beef sticks, the people have spoken! Casey is carried out of the courtroom by burly officers as the crowd goes wild!!! 

Sorry.... must be the hair dye.
