Good Morning Monkeys.

Casey will be found guilty on the fraud charges, hopefully all of them, and JS has already stated that he would sentence her as a first time offender. We will just have to wait and see what JS deems appropriate. On the murder charge....IF a plea deal is in the works for this, Casey will have to admit to the killing and most likely will avoid the DP only. If I'm wrong, please set me straight. But.....IF Casey tells what happened to Caylee, how will anyone ever know if it's the truth or just an BS story that her defense helped her create?

This hearing can't come soon enough!

Good Morning tupelo. I agree with everything you say above.  JS will IMO accept her guilty plea and sentence her with time served. She will have a felony conviction on her record as she goes to trial for murder.

Yep.  That sounds right.           The important thing is that she WILL have that felony conviction on her record.

As far as ever knowing what really happened to Caylee, I doubt we will ever know the truth.   I think if there is a deal made on the murder charge, KC will claim it was an accident and the duct tape, etc. was done in an effort to cover up Caylee's death after the fact.  She was trying to make it look like someone else did it.    She will claim she was afraid of her mom.   After watching KC during the last hearing, I just can't see the trial ever going forward.   She'll never make it through it.   I also think the state will be willing to take a deal and save the taxpayers tons of money.   This is all JMO.

My thinking is like yours Sassy. That is one thing I have never changed my mind on, that this will not make it to trial, JMO.

Good Morning Monkeys and Guest!

NRCG will you check your mail please?

It certainly will be interesting to hear what sort of deal the State made with the fraud charges.

nrcg, it sure will be, especially after watching what Mr. Shaeffer had to say.

o/t  darla has posted in the prayer thread, she has had much tragedy these past weeks, and now her SIL needs many prayers 

[Ono]

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.

Plea deal expected in Casey Anthony's fraud case

ORLANDO — 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 Jan. 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. "There is some strong indication to me, from my experience, that a plea to these charges, if in fact there's an adjudication, may be an indication that the murder case may not go to trial."

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. "It is very early to start cutting yourself off as to how you're going to defend the murder case."

Sheaffer says, if the defense has already decided Casey won't testify at her murder trial before it's even been scheduled, it could mean there's a possibility of a plea in the murder case, too.
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.

Thanks. I bet you're right!

On a side note, this is from that doc:



What's up with Lyon's signature? /s/

Surely it is not her signature, there is no S in her name. Anyone know what /s/ means in a sig?

[trimmonthelake]

Brandi,is that something to do with electronic signature?

"... Miss Anthony's attorneys may have to advise their client that the meetings cannot continue for fear of confidential information leaking to the press. Miss Anthony's counsel does not wish to give her this advice, but if they cannot meet with their client without the threat of videotapes of those meetings being distributed to the public, they will be forced to do so. The inability to meet with counsel, and its attendant ramifications, will amount to per se ineffective assistance of counsel."
    Okay what exactly is this nonsense meaning? Are they threatening, are they setting this up for ineffective assistance of counsel?

I work for an attorney and /s/ is an electronc signature.
