Caylee Marie Anthony #168 8/09/10 - 8/16/10

[Desdemona]

This may be a dumb question, but I hope someone will answer.  Why would NeJame allow Brad Conway to look through TES records anyway?  What need would Conway or his despicable clients have to see those searchers' information?  Was there some type of contract between GA and CA and TES?  Did Conway look through the records?
I'm sure NeJame knows what he's doing - but it is a little hinky to me.  What am I missing?   

Hi numbers!  Whatever you are missing, I'm missing it, too.

It would be interesting to know whether Brad might have been digging for documentation regarding the incident in early November (the 8th?) where James Hoover allegedly approached the TES search team leader (IIRC) to inform them that someone had reported seeing Casey and her white Pontiac backed up to the site on Suburban back in the summer, suggesting that TES should be searching for a dead Caylee there....  But I'm sure there could have been any number of nefarious Anthony-istic angles for Brad's file-diving excursion on their behalf.

Case highlights Fla. death penalty law

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 16 (UPI) -- If the murder trial of Casey Anthony ends in a conviction it will bring Florida's "hybrid" death penalty into the case, legal experts say.

Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, whose remains were found near the family home in 2008, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Sunday.

If convicted, the jury will recommend a sentence -- either the death penalty or life in prison -- but Florida is one of only three states, along with Alabama and Delaware, that allow judges to decide against a jury, the newspaper said.

In 30 states, a jury must vote unanimously to sentence someone to death. A vote of 11-1 for death in those states means a mandatory life sentence, whether the judge agrees or not.

In Florida, however, an 11-1 vote for death would be a strong show of support for a death sentence and judges would normally be inclined to rule that way, experts say.

But under the state's "hybrid" system they are not required to, and are free to ignore the jury's penalty decision.

The system has been "an area of controversy," said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington.

"I don't think the average person realizes Florida is that different," Dieter said. "In all of those [other] states, the judge can't state, 'I'm going to impose death anyhow [despite the jury's sentence].'"

Good Morning Monks!  Ono, thanks!!  this is a great way to start my day!

Without doubt the most humorous event of the week was the non-depo of Richard and Jessie Grund by Baez and the kids. The news outlets had the story, but not the detail. All that was reported was that they had been canceled. In todays program we shared the gory details. Someone in the illustrious Baez operation forgot the minor detail of actually serving Jessie Grund with the papers! For months Baez has been squawking about the Grunds, yet he forgets to actually invite Jessie to the party? Of course now that he is on the Tax Payers dime, I guess that he has throttled back his level of activity.

Bwwwaaaahahahahah!  Too, too much fun today...Baez and his team can't even get the paperwork done?!?  I do believe most attorneys would double-check and maybe even triple-check that the paperwork was done and done properly!!  This is RICH!!!

Conway confirms he’s out of Anthony case

Updated: Monday, 16 Aug 2010, 7:52 AM EDT
Published : Monday, 16 Aug 2010, 7:39 AM EDT

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Attorney Brad Conway, who has been representing Casey Anthony’s parents Cindy and George Anthony, has confirmed he will not longer be their attorney.

Early Monday Conway told FOX 35's Holly Bristow this has nothing to do with the Anthony’s or anything they've done. Instead he said it has everything to do with Casey’s attorney José Baez.

Conway said that a motion filed by the defense last week made regarding documents on 4000 Texas Equusearch volunteers, Baez claimed that Conway was given unrestricted access to look at those documents but only if he got the Anthony’s to sign a waiver of conflict of interest.

Conway’s said that's not the case, the defense never spoke to him before filing the motion and now he could potentially be called as a witness by Texas Equusearch's attorney if the judge holds a hearing on the Texas Equusearch paperwork.
Texas Equusearch is fighting to keep Casey Anthony’s attorneys from getting unrestricted access to their search documents.

not only is the Dufense inept, they are liars and aren't afraid to lie in motions!

Oooooohhhh....wonder what Cindy is thinking about all of this!

I know, Puzzler.  I'll bet it makes Judge Strickland giggle, too.  The trial I was on this past week was about a lawyer being sued because of this exact stuff.  He wasn't prepared for a custody trial for a three year old little girl, (I immediately thought of Caylee,) and told the Mom that it was a status hearing and she didn't have to appear.  Turns out he was wrong, it was a trial, the father's lawyer had his ducks in a row, Mom lost custody, Dad moved out of state with the little girl.  Upshot?  Mom hasn't seen her baby in TWO YEARS!!  Oh, and guess when the Mom found out she lost custody?  When the sheriff knocked on her door at 6 am and took the baby away.  It makes me sick.  Also, he was incredibly arrogant and combative on the stand.  Reminds me of Baez.  Incompetent fools, both of them.
But Justice was served.  She is going to see her child this weekend, and this lawyer is going to pay dearly for his mistake.

A lot of people, myself included, were wondering why NeJame showed Conway the TES files. But, if as he said, he did it as a courtesy to the A's, there's nothing that would have prevented him from showing the files to another attorney is there? As long as the files weren't tampered with?

WESH has a video report:

http://www.wesh.com/news/24643120/detail.html

In the accompanying written story, it says:

WESH 2 reporter Bob Kealing showed Baez Conway's resignation letter Monday. While Baez was on his way into a meeting, he said he plans to make a comment when the meeting is over.

thanks Desi....this is another one of those times when BOZO should say no comment and keep on walking...

A silent Baez?  We should be so lucky.   

I hope the judge puts a gag order on the attorneys at the beginning of KC's trial.

Attorney for Anthony's parents resigns

From Brad Conway's letter of resignation:

http://www.wesh.com/news/24643776/detail.html

I will continue to support the Anthonys, will continue to attend hearings and the eventual trial and most importantly I will continue to search for the full truth regarding the killing of Caylee Marie Anthony.

Hi Desi...yep BC isn't going along with the Caylee is still alive or BOZO's lies.....

  Sunny --  Right.  I thought it was highly significant for him to word it that way. 

Cindy says she is not convinced Caylee is dead.
Cindy says the DNA proof is "junk science."
Cindy says if Caylee IS dead, it could have been an accident.

She just went on national TV and said this.  She said it under oath from the witness stand at the last hearing. 

Brad used the phrase "the killing of Caylee" very pointedly and deliberately, IMO.

I agree..BC's statement was carefully worded. In am not sure and will check with an attorney friend, but his stated reason for resigning is IMO an excuse, not a reason.  He was representing the A's....not Kc.  I believe he may have been looking for an excuse and found it.  He states he will continue to search for the full truth regarding the killing of Caylee Marie Anthony.  ????  I must be confused....what has he done thus far to search for the truth?  IMO this is all lawyer talk for let me try to confuse you while I get the hell outta Dodge!!  He will continue to attend the hearing and the eventual trial...of course he will, it's free advertising for him, he keeps his name and face out in public view.

With regret I am forced to resign as George and Cindy Anthonys attorney. The defense motion filed on August 9, 2010 contains allegations that are not in fact true. As an officer of the court I cannot stand idly by knowing allegations involving me have been misstated. I am now a witness to an inaccurate legal pleading filed in our court system. As such, I cannot continue in good conscience as a legal representative. George and Cindy Anthony have done nothing improper, it is the failure of the defense to verify the facts alleged in their motion that forces my withdrawal. I will continue to support the Anthonys, will continue to attend hearings and the eventual trial and most importantly I will continue to search for the full truth regarding the killing of Caylee Marie Anthony.

Does this mean that Brad can go back to being Cindy and George's attorney after this is legally dealt with?  If he wants to?  I hope THIS is the opportunity Brad has been looking for to get out of being the A's attorney...what better way...this way he can say...Oh, it's not the A's fault.  Bwwwaaahahaha!
