2010.03.19 Indigent Status Granted

[Dr.Fessel]

I didn't know that ABC made a statement...would love to read it....could you post a link?

There are a lot more links on this but I find this one interesting. It is an AP article.



Circuit Judge Stan Strickland issued the ruling Friday, a day after her attorney disclosed that ABC had paid the Florida mother and her relatives $200,000 for exclusive use of family photos and videos

Are state funds also used for appeals?

Yes....they are. To deny counsel in the event that an appeal has been granted would violate the rights of the accused to representation. So....in a nutshell......yes.

ABC says the picture deal was brokered BY BAEZ, not Casey.

"I asked ABC News if the deal was done with Casey Anthony.

The deal was done with an attorney representing several owners of copyrighted content, ABC News spokeswoman Cathie Levine said. That attorney is Baez, she added."<snipped>

Happy bday Kc......

So, the Judge is completely satisfied with all disclosure. Hmmm well if we want answers, we need to put the Judge on the spot here. C'mon Judge, we want to see it. Whats your problem? what are you trying to hide? release it please.

It is the Defense that keeps asking for everything related to finances to be heard in Camera, not the Judge.... they are the ones trying to conceal what they have done with the money.

Well maybe JB will visit her more now that he can collect cab fare. (travel expenses you know)

 

[Gypsy Road]

Yep, they are! We here in Florida will be paying for a L-O-N-G time!

 

[beach]

As a Florida tax payer who will now be helping foot the bill for KC's defense, I feel like we are entitled to see how the money was previously spent! SPILL IT NOW!

I feel for ya, Gypsy. I used to live in FL and loved it there.

That said, my suggestion is for Floridians who give a damn need to find out exactly who they need to contact to put the pressure on JS to keep his word that the public HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE ALL THIS BLOOD MONEY WENT! I would be calling, faxing, emailing like a fool. PUT THE PRESSURE ON!

somewhere, not exactly sure if it was here at WS or rhornsby's site, but hornsby also suggested this about a week ago. He gave instructions on who to contact. I would be finding out where and I would be bombarding them non-stop. I would look for it right now, but I have to leave for a bit. If you haven't been able to locate it before I get back, I will find it for ya.

Oh no...not cab fare. He wouldn't be caught dead in a cab. He drives a BMW. He'll prolly start keeping track of his mileage and he'll bill those to the state. Just kidding of course, but hey...you never know!

Thank you for this post Beach! I had wondered about contacting someone, but wasn't sure who! If the info isn't released, I think we Floridians should DEMAND it.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Psst...I don't think she reads here anymore.....

:rolling::rolling::rolling:

 

[Glassgirl]

If the info isn't released, I think we Floridians should DEMAND it.

I totally agree!!

 

[sleutherontheside]

I'd like to reassure everyone that is upset about this ruling.......that from a legal standpoint....this is a good thing. It is not "letting JB win"...it is providing a defense for a defendant in need of defending.

Personal feelings aside........in the long run....this is a good thing.

Thanks for the reassurance & I understand, but I'm still madder than a wet hen about it all right now.

 

[MADJGNLAW]

I am not mad that she is declared indigent. I am mad that she is getting better treatment than other Florida Inmates IMO.
Why should the FL tax payers have to pay for the out of town travel or even local travel? All these attorney's inserted themselves in this case and stood up yesterday in court stating they would work for free/pro-bono, with the certain exceptions that I do understand would need to be billed for.
Why can't the state of FL state have the itemized statements of the $200,000 + dollars that either Casey or Baez got paid already and how it was used? Shouldn't this information disclosed? If the tax payers are paying for the defense of someone charged with murder, they should demand/enforce that Casey get the same treatment and legal counsel that other FL inmates would receive.

:furious: Why all the clowns in this case? Why? :furious: This case has dragged on for to long and it seems that the BS is just starting.


:furious: Again, I just don't understand! Where is the itemized statement from the defense team?
Why did the judge not release it? Since Florida Tax payers now have to pay for Casey's defense, would it not be fare to disclose where the $200,000 + dollars were spent?
Why oh Why, were those recorders not revealed? This is where I get a little upset. All of that should be disclosed, I really want to know why it was not? Dose the Florida Public-Tax Payers not have the right to ask for that disclosure? :banghead::banghead:

Really I think all the state had a right to do is make sure all of KC's money was spent and she had none coming in.

I imagine though how that money was spent might be looked at closely but not having anything to do with KC being broke.

Isn't there a difference between satisfied with all disclosure and approving all disclosures?

If her lawyers say she is broke, then she probably is. I guess my question is does that have anything to do with who spent the money and how? Think I'll play a little wait and see here....

Maybe JS has something to add to granting the indigent status.

 

[TrialAddict]

Could it be what she HAD before yesterday was not counted. All JB would have to do is show she has nothing now?

 

[coco puff]

So if JB does with the Murder case like he did with the Check Fraud case and wait until the very last second, then decide to plead guilty, does the state get their money back?

I agree. AL has already received $22k for travel alone. The state attorney has spent $35k so far to prosecute. Seems like the balance of funds is pretty one-sided. Poor Floridians are going to be sucked dry. I feel your pain.
