HHJBP: Mr. Mason, Mr. Baez - anything else? Does your client wish to say anything?
CM: No.
HHJBP: The Court will make the following finding concerning the Defense motion to Bar imposition of Sentence. Count 4 dealt with the Universal employment lie - due to missing person's report. LE went to Universal, expended LE resources, to determine that she did not work there.
Count 5 - ICA said she left Caylee at Sawgrass Apts with ZFG which caused LE to, again, due to missing person's report, to develop and follow various leads to try to locate the babysitter.
Count 6 - ICA said she told two employees of Universal - Hopkins and Lewis - of the disappearance of Caylee.
Count 7 - ICA said she had received a call and spoke to Caylee on 7/15/08 at approximately 12p.m. thus causing LE to devote extensive resources.
As a result of those 4 separate and distinct lies, LE expended a great deal of time, energy and manpower looking for Caylee. This search for her went on from July thru December - over several months - trying to find Caylee. 4 distinct, separate lies. Just as the Jury spoke loud and clear on Counts 1, 2 and 3. They also spoke loud and clear on the remaining counts.
The Court sentences you to 1 year in jail - imposing a $1,000 fine on each count - all 4 counts to run consecutive to each other - giving you credit for the time that you have previously served. JB, CM - we are going to spend some time this morning figuring out her credit for time served and it's going to take us probably about an hour to sort it out due to the previous sentences she has been given, but with the good time and gain time, depending on preliminary figures, some time early August, late July, but I can't say that until I determine time served, and then the jail has to apply their good time and gain time that she has gained in this. So, if you want to wait around - and if you have a different figure, then we can get that taken care of.
I will reserve jurisdiction for 60 days to determine the cost of investigation.
LDB: Wants to set hearing - any time after 30 days.
CM: Want to see the invoices and check the validity.
LDB: She should have all the documentation within her suggested time frame.
HHJBP: Week of August 29? 25th or 26th.
LDB: Thursday the 25th. Don't know ICA's status at that time. Does Defense want to waive her presence.
HHJBP: She can waive her appearance or she can come.
CM: It would be our intention to waive.
HHJBP: I would also impose the statutory court costs. ICA - you have a right to appeal. If you can't afford an attorney, the court will appoint one. Do you wish to appeal?
JB conferring with ICA.
JB: We would like to reserve our right.
HHJBP: You have 30 days to file an appeal. Does she have the financial where with all to file appeal?
JB: No.
HHJBP: She will need to fill out an affidavit of insolvency. An untimely notice of appeal is a forfeit of her right. It is your responsibility to file the appropriate paperwork before you are relieved of your responsibility in this case.
Court in recess.
