Invoice for the Defense for Work Performed

[debs]

Where do we turn in our billable hours?

 

[Dear Prudence]

http://www.wftv.com/news/25193388/detail.html

Interesting bit in this article:

WFTV obtained state financial records, which show how the defense has spent $14,000 of taxpayer money defending Casey. Its private investigator, Jeremiah Lyons, has spent hundreds of taxpayer dollars attempting to interview dozens of witnesses without success. The private eye's explanations included wrong addresses and unanswered doors.

No copies or links to the records are included in the article though. But if WFTV is correct looks like Jeremiah got $6545 for doing a whole lot of nothing.

Nums gave us a link to the JAC site with the same total paid to the Defense P.I.
Sure would like to see the itemized invoices.

Has Baez nearly used up his "approved" 300 in-state investigator hours yet? Clearly he doesn't have enough left for Finnell to do her work (she asked HHJP for 100 hours), and perhaps that is why she has filed to get her own investigator hours.

By my calculations, Lyons has received $11,135 for this case, so that should be in the neighborhood of 250 - 275 hours.

I'd be surprised if they've done 250-275 hours of work between the lot of them. :snooty:

Er um. How can one bill 817.00 for Oct. 7, on Oct. 6? Are we on a retainer here, an hourly, what? :waitasec:

I think you are misunderstanding, those are the dates of the payments not the dates of the invoice, so $817.00 will be issued tomorrow. I do not know how to obtain the copies of these invoices, but I'm working on it.

ETA: WFTV obtained state financial records, which show how the defense has spent $14,000 of taxpayer money defending Casey. Its private investigator, Jeremiah Lyons, has spent hundreds of taxpayer dollars attempting to interview dozens of witnesses without success. The private eye's explanations included wrong addresses and unanswered doors.

The defense has also spent tax money for the training records of Orlando police officer Ed Michael, who, with his police dog, investigated a call in October 2008, five days before Casey was locked up on no bond, that a woman heard screams for help coming from woods, blocks away from the Anthonys' house on the opposite side from where Caylee was found.

Oct 7 is the date of payment, not the billing date. What am I missing here?

I do notice that ol' Jeremiah was quite busy in the month of September. Quite busy.

ETA: Duh. Today is the 6th. OK - I would assume that check will be cut tomorrow.

From the JAC:

Six Things a Retained Attorney Should Remember About Having a Client Declared Indigent for Costs:

http://www.justiceadmin.org/faq/Training Modules/Six Things Attorney IFC.pdf

I wonder if JB has read this? He should pay close attention to number 6!

 

[logicalgirl]

Do I remember that ole Jose got into a bit of a sticky mess the last time he had an indigent client because he chose to phone in those amounts for the accounting? :waitasec:

Something was going on, fer shere. He was still having "communications" with the JAC and the court as recently as August of this year for a case that closed out many moons ago.

Nilton Diaz case

Ha! Wow, so JB was counting on some cash reimbursement from JAC for the Diaz case. I wonder if Jeremiah Lyons worked on the Diaz case too, it show he received $1075 payment 11/4/09. That was before ICA was declared indigent.

And I see there was a motion tucked in there to attempt to remove Judge Nacke - motion denied. LOL

So that was just routine for him. Reading that list it was amazing how many times it said ATTY not present or attended by phone!

Hahaha - Bear in Mind Mr. Baez - street talk translation "Not this time Bucko!"

JB is responsible for the payments and if he failed to provide a full accounting in the Diaz case. He could be financially responsible to reimburse the JAC for costs they already paid! That's what I was try to show here:

He should pay close attention to number 6!

Looks like an oxymoron to me.

When has he *ever* shown that he is responsible? This was one of the main reasons the FL Bar refused him admittance for *8* years: he is financially irresponsible.

 

[Just Jayla]

IMO, JB has known all along that he needs to create reasonable doubt (or unreasonable). It really doesn't mater what order things get investigated in as he isn't really trying to prove anything.

You know when you are grasping at straws it doesn't matter which one you grab when. Anyone remember the game Kerplunk?

BBM-Right you are, and this is the thing that most deeply frushtrates me about the state of our defense system these days...
I don't feel it is incumbent upon a defense attorney to create anything. I think it is the burden of the state. Period. I believe a defense attorney's job is to make sure that their client enjoys and is properly protected by all of the rights afforded to them by the respective state and federal constitutions.

That does not mean I am ok with the court appointed attorney in general district court that barely grunts at his client and his client is found guilty with a lightened sentence-To me, that is just laziness....even in those pro bono traffic court cases, a defense attorney should search every nook and cranny to make sure their client's rights were not violated, something as simple as illegal search and seizure in a traffic stop where marijuana was found in a passengers's purse, but no probable cause is evident. But unless a defense attorney is paid thousands of dollars, they (I am making a generalization, of course good attorneys are out there) have no interest in serving anyone's rights.

But the level of making shiznit up that we see now in these circuit court cases is ridiculous to me. So because JB stands to make money in his future endeavors due to this case, he goes as far as to make stuff up, lie to the media, find a glove that don't fit? Shame on him for violating Caylee's rights and the rights of the people of Florida in a non-attempt to uphold KC's rights. I think our founders and the architects of Florida's consitution would be very clear that that is unacceptable.

The ends do not justify the means to me, but I guess death is different? Not to Caylee. She is still dead at the hands of her mother no matter what happens.

ETA-Sorry to stray OT, I include some of the stupid charges in this invoice in the above assertions of defense dumbness.

 

[Bree0372]

I really am curious what JB spent the original $300,000.00 on. It appears that he is just starting to do a little work and I use the term work loosely !!!:croc:

I too would love to know what he spent all that money on. It's obvious that he didn't do any work. I think he should have to give a detailed account on where it was spent. He's costing the State of Florida a lot of money because, IMO, he p*ssed through Caylee's blood money. :furious:

By my calculations, Lyons has received $11,135 for this case, so that should be in the neighborhood of 250 - 275 hours.

What possibly could the PI have done to warrant that much money? If he's only getting wrong addresses and no one home (and billing for it), then I want that job. I can do it from WA state...yep, no one was home, but send me my money. :crazy:

Bring on the trial...I'm ready for this to get started. I just hope that the outcome is like Scott Peterson's. I remember when that verdict was read. I was at work and started yelling "YES, YES, YES!!! They found him guilty."
