2011.06.03 Geraldo Rivera's statement on Fox & Friends

[Marina2]

It is not if she could get up and leave at any time. It is based on if she felt she was free to walk out at any time. Would a reasonable person feel that they could refuse to talk to the police and walk out of that conference room when they arrived in the back of the police car?

Also, the Fourth requirement for Miranda is if the statements were made in response to police conduct that constituted an interrogation. In Rhode Island v. Innis the Supreme Court defined interrogation as express questioning and "any words or actions on the part of the police (other than those normally attendant to arrest and custody) that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect."

Again, I don't know why the Judge ruled the way he did but I am very surprised that was allowed in.

For Miranda purposes, the questioning has to meet a four-prong test. One prong is the manner in which she was questioned but that leaves three others that have to be met before Miranda warnings are required. Judge Perry ruled that none of the statements or interviews she gave met the four-prong test and denied the DT motion to suppress them. You can read his ruling here.

He explains clearly why he denied the motion.

This might explain things for ya....Geraldo.

She wasn't under arrest. Only being questioned and went "willingly".

Geraldo was spouting his Casey is being treated unfairly to Bill O'Reilly earlier this week. Geraldo has come out and stated that he is "good" friends with JB. Heck a couple of years ago he even showed video of him and JB chilling on JB's boat down in Florida.

As to what GR thinks about the "interrogation" of Casey at Universal.....he is going for being over the top. KC was not under arrest at this time and who cares if she rode in the back of the car while she was showing LE around. What, was she suppose to sit on LE's lap in the front of the car? KC could have left at anytime but chose to stay and CONTINUE to lie and live in KC World.

Something else the disturbed me about that segment with O'Reilly is GR seems to be backing up the DT that GA sexually abused KC and that GA should be brought up on charges as well. So I totally don't listen to anything GR has to say about KC.

This is all just IMO! ;-)

On the 1st day of ICA's trial, I heard/read somewhere that when JB departed the court house, Geraldo was waiting around the corner in his vehicle which JB got into; and they rode off into the sunset together.

No joke. (Well okay ... I did make up the part about the sunset but they did leave in Geraldo's car.)

This my first time starting a thread. If I did anything wrong, or if it doesn't fit or whatever, do what you will!

Did anyone hear Geraldo Rivera's assertion this morning on F&F that he believes that the police were treating ICA as a suspect when they were interrogating her and the fact that they didn't Mirandize her beforehand, will allow a conviction to be overturned?

What do you all think?

HHJP held a hearing on this a few months back. Yuri Melich was called as a witness. Records were looked at, it's when we found out the photo of Casey with the big happy smile in the blue hoodie was taken after she took them on a three-hour tour, oops, I mean, took them to her fake office to get her fake phone at Universal. The photo was snapped after they spoke to her in private. She went freely with them, in fact, she led the way, and at no time was she not allowed to leave. Same thing with the night of the 15th when the police arrived at her home. LE was conducting a missing child investigation, not until after the interview at Universal did they later begin to know for sure they were dealing with something more sinister.

HHJP ruled she was NOT being held against her will so there was no need to read her the Miranda statement.

Geraldo, like JB, his buddy, takes every opportunity to make ridiculous statements on TV. Geraldo knows Judge Perry ruled against the defense team's claims of "being held in custody without being read her rights".

Thanks for finding that. I was gonna go look after I finished reading the thread and I knew there was a decision and not much else.

The one thing that could come up on appeal is she wasn't read her Carmen Miranda rights;

You have the right to wear long dresses and a bowl of fruit on your head while you're dancing and singing.

 

[Della]

I agree with the statements that GR is a joke when it comes to law. I did not realize he was friends with JB.

And that is true, the police were just looking for Caylee and Zanny and were trying to get info out of ICA any way they could. Thanks for bringing up that she could have left at any time.

Y'all are the best....

He nearly ruined my day!

GR will show up anytime there is a case with the potential of sensationalism. I'm sure he had never heard of JB until this case. They spent time together in NYC when JB was there for teevee appearances. GR has been on some program everyday recently about the Miranda question. Right or wrong, he is keeping his name alive!

I think we're going to have to hear about Casey for 300 more years just like her brother Charles Manson.

And her OTHER brother TED BUNDY

Hi Aqua!

Interesting thread. You just never know what an appeal may bring. A really really good attorney may be able to do something with that. If she gets the DP there will be an automatic appeal and all of the defense's objections and such will be looked at.

So my firm response is...I dunno...



PS. I also take Geraldo's words with a grain of salt since he & Jose are good buddies.

 

[Class-z]

Not gonna happen.

Sorry, Geraldo, wrong AGAIN

Hi All, long time member but haven't posted for some years, Re: Geraldo, he use to be an attorney. Now, maybe we know why he's not anymore.

Or Scott Peterson, I still believe the only reason Lacy is dead is because of Connor.

My favorite parts of the article Baznme found;

...But Jose Baez, Anthony's defense attorney, asked how Melich could not have been suspicious that morning.

The child was only then being reported missing, a month after her disappearance. Casey Anthony had not told anyone about it until that point. She was leading the detective to the place she supposedly saw her daughter last, a vacant apartment, and she was lying about where she worked, Universal Studios Florida.

Baez asked how the detective could not find all of those elements suspicious.

"I find it interesting, the whole story that she told," Melich said at one point. "I wanted to find out what was going on. I wanted to find out more."...

(Translation; "Dude, it's so obvious my client is guilty you should have Mirandized her.)

_______________________________________________

..."I'm not stupid. This is very unsettling for me," Cindy Anthony told the judge and prosecutor. "I wanted anything to get to Caylee, but I didn't want my daughter arrested."

Later, George Anthony, father of the accused, told Baez he was in a traumatic state when he learned Caylee was missing and was further troubled by seeing his daughter placed in handcuffs....

Geraldo keeps popping up on various programs and he continues to spout the defense team's position. He was on Bill O'Reilly (Fox News) Wednesday night, and listening to him I thought I was listening to Jose Baez or Cheney Mason. He's a close friend of Jose Baez and he clearly sides with the defense.

now that is funny.

 

[Never4GetCaylee]

Geraldo has always made my skin crawl...long before I ever heard of ICA. I watch his show very occasionally when I know Kimberly Guilfoyle is going to be on. I wish they'd give her a show. Preferably Geraldo's.

 

[SallyC]

“Are you picking on my friend Jose Baez?” Rivera asked when we started talking about the case. Rivera wouldn’t discuss how Anthony defense attorney Baez is holding up, but said, “I support him 100 percent.” (2010)

Tell Geraldo to look up HHJP's record. In all of his career as a Judge he has had one decision (ONE) overturned.
So who do you think is right this time Geraldo?

He sides with the defense only to be controversial.To Media that seems to = increased ratings!
He has made many statements on his show that she is guilty, he's just not sure what crime the Jury will find her guilty of ....
