Casey: "I Just Want To Let Everyone Know I’m Sorry"

Posted: 4:28 pm EST January 22, 2010Updated: 2:15 pm EST January 25, 2010

Comment On This Story ››
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony arrived in court just before 1:30pm for a hearing where she entered a guilty plea to check fraud charges. Casey, who is charged with killing her young daughter, was wearing a light blue button down shirt and a pair of grey slacks.

BILL SHEAFFER: On Casey's Expected Plea
MOTIONS TO BE HEARD: Kronk's Ex | Modify Order | Compel

Casey sat at a table with her attorneys, Jose Baez and Andrea Lyon. Judge Stan Strickland is presiding over the hearing. Also in court as the hearing was getting underway were Casey’s parents, George and Cindy, their attorney, Brad Conway, WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer and WFTV reporter Kathi Belich.

The hearing started quickly, with attorney Jose Baez, with Casey at his side, offering a guilty plea to the court on the 13 charges released to check fraud and Casey was immediately sworn in.

"Please state your name," Judge Strickland told Casey.

“Casey Marie Anthony,” she replied.

The judge then asked Casey questions about the submitted plea and confirmed that she was aware of the meaning of the plea she was entering, that she’s giving up the right to go to trial and that she wasn’t coerced into making it.

“Five years [in jail], in our position, is extremely absurd,” Baez argued regarding the sentencing they are requesting with the plea. "We simply ask that she receive equal justice under the law."

Baez went on to explain the circumstances and made arguments about the type of sentence any other person in this situation, with no prior convictions, would get and then stated what he was seeking.

“We ask the court to withhold adjudication on the counts, issue time served and, due to statutory requirements, give a short probationary period of approximately one year,” Baez said.

After Baez stated his case, the prosecution argued their points and made their request for sentencing.

“We are asking for adjudication on all [13 counts] and a straight prison sentence,” state prosecutor Frank George stated.

“She’s charged with 13 separate crimes or offenses as a result of the four stolen checks,” Judge Strickland said after hearing both sides’ arguments. “On counts 3, 6, 9 and 12, those are the forgery counts, there is going to be an adjudication of guilt and time served is 412 days.”

Strickland also adjudicated guilt on counts 1 and 2 with time served.

“As for the four counts of uttering a forged check, 4, 7, 10, 13, and as to counts 5, 8, 11, three of the four fraudulent use of identification counts, the court is going to withhold adjudication with time served and one year of supervised probation,” Judge Strickland said.

“I just want to let everyone know that I’m sorry for what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Casey said referring to the check fraud. “And I'd like to sincerely apologize to Amy. I wish I would have been a better friend.”

There was no deal in place ahead of Monday's hearing, so Casey could have changed her mind and not go through with a plea directly to the judge. Taking responsibility for stealing, forging and cashing her ex-best friend's checks probably gives her the best chance of keeping her record clear of a conviction.

If she didn't plea, a jury would see security video of Casey Anthony smiling at the Bank of America teller after cashing Amy Huizenga’s stolen check. The security video will also show her at Target stores buying beer, food and clothing with her former best friend's checks, and canceled checks and receipts will bolster that evidence.

The video taken was just days after her daughter Caylee disappeared when Casey claimed she was out searching for her.

As for her murder case, the defense will try to convince a judge Monday to allow them to get testimony before the trial from an ex-wife of former meter reader Roy Kronk, who found Caylee's remains on December 11. The defense is trying to discredit his testimony that he first found Caylee's remains in August, just months after Caylee disappeared, but deputies didn't properly search the area.

The defense says Kronk should be a suspect in Caylee's murder because of Jill Kerley’s unsubstantiated claim that Kronk bound her with duct tape years ago.

“He probably was the one who murdered Caylee Anthony or had something to do with it,” Kerley, Kronk's ex-wife, said during a deposition.

“That's a very thin correlation, especially when you examine the remoteness of the time frame,” Sheaffer said.

Monday morning, prosecutors filed a response arguing the defense has to put Kronk's ex-wife on their witness list, prove that she would not be able to make it to the trial, let them depose her first under oath and, after all that, the judge may still find her testimony irrelevant.

There is no evidence of any prior connection between Kronk and Caylee Anthony. Prosecutors say Casey is the one who layered tape over her daughter Caylee's nose and mouth, possibly to suffocate her.

I agree about the inappropriatness. The lawyers treat KC like she is a child, putting their arms around her and mothering her. It is rediculous! Is she a 12yo on trial, or a 23yo?

Tearful Anthony Apologizes In Check Fraud Case

Judge Sentences Anthony To Jail Time Served, $5,500 In Court Costs

POSTED: 5:58 am EST January 25, 2010
UPDATED: 2:22 pm EST January 25, 2010
[EMAIL: Tearful Anthony Apologizes In Check Fraud Case] Email [PRINT: Tearful Anthony Apologizes In Check Fraud Case] Print

ORLANDO, Fla. --
Casey Anthony pleaded guilty to 13 counts in her check fraud case at a hearing Monday.

Judge Stan Strickland asked Anthony several questions, ensuring she was aware of what entering the plea meant -- that is waiving the right to trial.

Her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, held hands in the courtroom while the plea was entered.

Jose Baez, Anthony's attorney, asked for "equal justice" for his client, and asked for a one year probation and credit for time served.

Strickland sentenced the 23-year-old to jail time served and $5,517.75 in court costs.

In a rare moment, a teary Anthony addressed the court.

"I'm sorry for what I did. I'd like to sincerely apologize to Amy. I wish I would have been a better friend," she said.

"I'm sorry for what I did. I'd like to sincerely apologize to Amy. I wish I would have been a better friend."

- Casey Anthony

Anthony was charged with the murder of her daughter, Caylee Anthony, whose body was found in a wooded area near the family's home in December 2008.

Surveillance video captured Casey Anthony at local shopping stores and banks -- allegedly spending more than $600 of her friend's money while Caylee was missing.

At Anthony's last court hearing, Judge Stan Strickland said he will not "tee off" on Casey in the fraud case, even if she is convicted.

Local defense attorney Richard Hornsby said since the judge telegraphed what he was going to do, there was not much reason for either side to want to take this fraud case to trial.

"Neither party was going to win anything by forcing this case to trial, and that is solely because of Judge Strickland's wording and what he said," Hornsby said.

Judge Stan Strickland is also set to hear two motions in the murder case. The first he will decide on is whether to allow videotaped testimony from the ex-wife of Roy Kronk, the man who found Caylee's remains. Her testimony suggests that Kronk could be a suspect in Caylee's death.

Okay smart monkeys, I had to skip out so my computer would work for the court room.  Does this mean that Oak Ridge and the FBI are holding approximately 10% of the forensics back for the trial?  I guess that would mean that as long as the prosecution doesn't request it then defense can't and that is the the key to it all?  Am I right?????

Keep getting thrown out of the cage today!  So.... was the consensus that they had 10 days to present a date that will work for both sides?  I never was sure on that.
