State Tallies Trial Costs; Casey Wants To Be Lawyer?

Her attorney, Cheney Mason, says his client read through thousands of pages of documents during her murder trial. He claims she even told him she wanted to work in his office.

Caylee memorial planned on remains site

Public given chance to buy a brick
snip-
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - The wooded site on Suburban Drive, where the remains of Caylee Anthony were discovered, will soon become a permanent memorial.

Eddie DelValle is working with a non-profit organization called " Bring Kids Home " to buy the two acre site. "After the verdict, people's feelings were still raw, and I thought, why don't we have a place where people can come and bring closure here?"

A local artist with experience designing public memorials and gardens is working on an initial design that would include a raised path through the trees.

A public unveiling and balloon release will take place on the site at an event on August 9th, the day Caylee would have turned six years old.

The organization is also selling an opportunity for the public to be a part of the memorial. For $84, people can buy an engraved brick that will be part of the path. Bring Kids Home is also seeking business and corporate donations.

"The Anthonys aren’t paying for this. It's a gift, and I'm glad we took them up on it," Lippman said.

He said a friend, east Orange County businessman David Deese, is paying for the trip. Deese made the offer some time back, Lippman said.

"I investigated him to make sure he's not some kook. They are comfortable with him and this family," he said.

Attorney for Casey Anthony says he is not negotiating paid interviews for his client
By Associated Press, Updated: Friday, July 22, 2:48 PM

---snipped----
ORLANDO, Fla. — The lead defense attorney in the murder trial of Casey Anthony denies reports that he is negotiating deals for a paid interview with his client.

A one-sentence statement attributed to Jose Baez and released through New York-based RMT PR Management on Friday says: “Contrary to recent published reports, I am not negotiating any paid interviews with anyone.”

Reports claim that attorney Jose Baez was "holding court" with bookers from ABC, CBS and NBC.
---snipped-----

A TMZ report that Casey Anthony attorney Jose Baez was at Manhattan’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel “holding court” with bookers from ABC, CBS and NBC for a cash interview with Anthony was met with strenuous denials from all three news divisions.

“The report is untrue,” said an ABC News source. “If there is a bidding war ABC News is not and will not be part of it.”

“CBS News is not offering and will not offer to license any materials from Casey Anthony,” a CBS News spokesperson said. A network executive was more vehement: “Not a damn nickel.”

“We've talked with Baez about getting an interview with Casey Anthony, but only under NBC News standards and conditions: no payment, and absolutely no job offers for members of her defense team,” said an NBC News spokesperson.

One network booker described the situation as “toxic.”

Casey Attorney Admits He Was Surprised By Verdict

----alternate juror#14 continues to get himself out there..

http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/article1181900.ece

Saturday, July 23, 2011

---snipped----

ST. PETERSBURG &#8212; After the not-guilty verdict on July 5, Russ Huekler, an alternate juror in the Casey Anthony murder trial, was hit with hundreds of insulting letters, e-mails, Facebook posts and phone calls from strangers calling him "ignorant" and "scum."
Then the death threat arrived.

"I know where you live," said the anonymous writer. "I hope you drown."
St. Petersburg police, upon learning that Huekler swims in his backyard pool every day, opened an investigation.

One writer, aware that Huekler was a high school government teacher, said he could now teach his students how to go free after murdering someone.

Another taunted that he could teach them how to lie to law enforcement. Many told him he shouldn't be allowed to teach.

So, why the disconnect with the American public over the verdicts?
Huekler offers two theories:

&#8226; The jury was not privy to inadmissible evidence that the public heard from courtroom sidebars and news.

&#8226; And, according to jury instructions, jurors couldn't find Casey guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of first-degree or second-degree murder or manslaughter or aggravated child abuse without knowing the time and cause of Caylee's death.

For first-degree murder, according to the instructions, jurors had to know that the time between premeditation and murder was "long enough to allow reflection." Since they didn't know when Caylee died or how, they couldn't know this, he said.

------he fails to go into why they couldn't find her guilty of any of the LESSER charges....( oh right---they got her on being a liar. )

Casey Anthony Abruptly Changed Defense Strategy
Kidnapping Story Changed To Drowning Within 4-Month Period

POSTED: Friday, July 22, 2011
UPDATED: 11:16 pm EDT July 22, 2011


When attorney Cheney Mason joined Casey Anthony's defense team in March 2010, he said he was informed Anthony's daughter Caylee died accidentally.

In that counterclaim, (last updated in November 2009) Anthony civil attorney Jonathan Kasen wrote, "(Anthony) made truthful statement to the police about a separate and distinct Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez."


At trial, Anthony's lawyers acknowledged Anthony lied about the kidnapping.

On Thursday, Anthony's new civil attorney, Charles Greene, voluntarily withdrew the counterclaim against Zenaida Gonzalez. Greene did not explain why he retracted the claim.

Lead defense attorney Jose Baez has refused to say when Anthony backed off her original story that her daughter had been kidnapped.

Oct. 14, 2008, the day a grand jury indicted Anthony for first-degree murder, Baez implied that he knew what happened to Caylee.

Two months later, Baez insisted that Caylee Anthony could still be alive and that he was searching for her kidnapper.

"I would assume if you find the child, you'll find the abductor," Baez told Local 6 reporter Mike DeForest on Dec.10, 2008.

Several lawsuits have been filed against Casey Anthony, but will her criminal defense hinder her possible civil strategies?
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-casey-anthony-civil-suits-20110723,0,558784.story
By Amy Pavuk and Bianca Prieto, Orlando Sentinel - July 23, 2011

But Orlando defense attorney Mark NeJame, who has followed the Anthony case closely, said Fernandez-Gonzalez, for one, may now be able to seek greater damages because Baez admitted at trial that Casey fabricated the existence of "Zanny the nanny."

Counterclaim withdrawn

"The complaint in all the civil cases against Miss Anthony share many similarities, including this one: The plaintiffs are all asking for money," Green said. "We are analyzing their pleadings to determine the most appropriate defenses. Without addressing any case in particular, you can expect that a number of papers will soon be filed in all the cases."

"I was told she would be staying at her attorney's home in Mexico," said Garrison.

According to Garrison, Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez, also took photos of Casey on a beach in Florida and told her "not to look in the camera" so the pics would appear more candid and earn more money from a potential buyer.

"They were partying on the jet and there were pictures of Casey drinking champagne and they wanted to broker those photos," Garrison revealed, adding, "All of this is being orchestrated by Jose Baez. I've spoken to him many times and his mentality was making money."

Larry Garrison is a movie producer and former spokesperson for the Anthony family,

Read carefully -- NBC is saying "no payment," but it refers to an "interview." That doesn't cover paying huge money for pictures, video, etc. That's S.O.P. in the network game -- and we're told that's one of the issues Geragos covered with Baez.
