Cindy Anthony is in the hot seat now after prosecutors released 2,400 pages of evidence in the case, including at least one instance in which the mother of the murder suspect mailed her a letter in prison that used Casey Anthony's lawyer's return address with "legal mail do not open" written on the envelope.
Kronk Submits Proof Of Whereabouts Before Finding Caylee
Lawyer Says Kronk Dealt With Car Trouble In Sanford The Day Prior
POSTED: 4:01 pm EDT August 6, 2010
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Former meter reader Roy Kronk, the man who discovered Caylee Anthony’s remains, has given the state documents that he says prove his innocence.
Kronk gave receipts for both the tow and the repair job to prosecutors proving his whereabouts the day before he found Caylee’s remains.
Kronk said the clutch went out in his car, had to be towed to a Sanford auto repair shop and wait for hours of costly repairs to be completed.
Orange County corrections officials confiscated a greeting card mailed to Casey Anthony by her mother because the envelope improperly suggested it contained confidential legal documents.
For security purposes, Orange County jail workers routinely screen mail sent to inmates. But corrections officers are not allowed to look at letters inmates receive from their lawyers, which are generally protected by attorney-client privilege.
The defense argued that specific aggravating factors found under Florida law were unconstitutional. Aggravating factors are statutorily listed within Florida’s death penalty sentencing laws. They are what a juries use to help determine, along with the evidence, whether they will recommend that a defendant receive the death penalty.
Florida’s juries only have to find one aggravating factor to recommend death, but they must find it beyond a reasonable doubt. A judge determines what statutorily defined aggravators go to the jury if in fact a death penalty trial gets to the death phase.
