Baez files yet another motion re: Video of Casey's reaction to remains found

[maryaok]

Why don't his lawyers reign him in?

I think that Strickland's comments regarding that video say so much that we don't need to worry about anyone seeing it. JMO MOO yada yada yada:

"Being duly advised in the premises, the defendant's Motion to Seal the Jail Videotape in question is granted. In taking this unusual step the Court has read and considered the pleadings of all parties, and personally viewed the videotape in question.

While the Court is loathe to shield any public record, an argument can certainly be made that the contents of the video are highly inflammatory."
<snip>

"Given the nature and scope of the pretrial publicity, it is not unreasonable to assume that many persons in the potential jury pool might view this video and develop a "hardened" attitude in reference to the defendant's guilt."[/FONT]

Well, that must be some video!
Now my imagination is running wild!
So, does this mean that this video is sealed even after the trial is over?

Could it be that he is the Candyman (Twizzlers) and KC is the CEO? I don't know.

Jose is wasting a lot of time on this one video when, IMO, he should be concentrating on the upcoming trial. How long has it been now that he has been deposing witnesses related to the video ? What about all of the other witnesses that he should be deposing for his clients trial ? The arguments he is currently engaged in are only for sealing the video from public view, they have nothing to do with it being admitted as evidence in the trial (or at least this is my take on it). Yes, I agree with the other poster's...this must be some video !

But where has JB been lately? The last time we saw him was right after AL came on board. I figure that to have already been in the works then when she came on---> ZIP. Why that is?

I am secretly hoping that they have begun to reign him in. It would be a miracle, but it could happen, couldn't it ? Oh I would love to be behind the scenes if that were the case... :woohoo:

I have never started a thread and hope this is the way to do it. If it isnt please feel free to delete or correct.

JB has filed an emergency motion trying to block the release of the Video of Casey's reactions. He also has many more "demands" listed. He also wants to stop any future monitoring of him and Casey together. :waitasec:

The actual motion is in PDF within the body of the article linked below

It's interesting. Check it out

Why not monitor them together? Can't they share licorice?

And as every first year law student knows, it's "hornbook law" not "hornbook case law" you nimwit JB!

No, it's "horndog attorney law." ;-)

 

[Brini]

OMG Baez this is not small claims court!

You have written a motion that any Joe off the street could have improved on.

:bang:

He could find a nice sixth grad English class to do it over, for him.

Really! A congressman did that with some proposed bills, once. Kids did a GREAT job!

 

[Brini]

OK...I admit it. I thought this was going to be a case of making a mountain out of a molehill. But your all right. I found myself wondering halfway thru reading the motion if KC was dictating half of it, and ended up thinking that maybe she at the least typed it up. I'm not a lawyer or a secretary but there were several typos in it. And is it normal for the words "The defendant prays, the honorable court....." to be used in a motion? Doesn't seem that praying has a place in a legal document.

Well, he could have used that word to mean, "pleads." That's a legit meaning.

But, I'm surprised he didn't write, "preys."

believe09: I said this. Despite the fact that official identification was over a week away, I doubt there was anyone connected with this case who did not know that the remains were Caylee's. I think 99.9% of the public knew it to. By 4 pm on 12/11 - I don't think there was anyone who had any knowledge of this case at all who didn't know it was Caylee. Now, might they wanted to have visual evidence of her reaction, sure, but they KNEW she knew - if I can say that.

Hypothetical question for all of us: If she had reacted the same way to the Suburban find as she had to the Blanchard Park find - how would we all feel about that? My reaction would have been - "KC is one cold hearted you know what, she doesn't care, she is so over this whole thing". I am actually more surprised that she DID react then if she hadn't reacted.

Sociopaths react to perceived threats to themselves. The discovery of Caylee's body was a biggie.

And, as the talking head shrinks observed-- she didn't react with a stunned sense of the loss of her baby. She had an anxiety attack.

 

[Brini]

I was thinking the same thing last night. I'm obviously not an attorney, but was soooo confused after reading just part of the motion, I clicked out of the page in frustration.

Thanks to the legal eagles here for making me feel like I wasn't entirely dense! lol. :blowkiss:

He just doesn't know that every sentence has to have a subject and a predicate.

 

[Brini]

(your post respectfully snipped)

We've heard she was upset and hyperventilated when she sought medical help. But was she sad or angry? Did she throw a temper tantrum like she did when her parents were visiting? Or did she show grief?

JB's protests sure make me wonder. I mean, if that particular vid painted his client in a positive light, then why fight the release?

She was anxious. And, angry (she yelled, "I'm so p---ed."

Not sad.

 

[snow_walker]

I would worry more about the judge getting infuenced and developing a hardened attitude regarding her guilt, than I would about a juror doing so..it is good there is no way to stop the judge watching it.

 

[Spangle]

I don't recall hearing she said that after hearing they found the body.

 

[EastCoast]

I am thinking perhaps the incriminating thing in the video may be that she seemed to recover from her anxiety attack and change the subject to football

Could be. I tend to think KC's dialog on the tape went something like;I can't believe this is happening to me! Why me! Poor Me! I'm so screwed! Yadda, yadda....with no mention of Caylee and how horrible her loss is. Sociopathic self-obsession at its finest.

 

[EastCoast]

Yes, that is probably right. If it was anything different, the fact that she had an anxiety attack, or the fact that she needed meds could have worked out ok for the defense. And since they are trying hard not to have it released, must be really bad for them.

 

[MAMABEAR]

I don't know for sure when this happened---> she yelled, "I'm so p---ed" but member the lil black gurl who went to the enquirer with an interview? She said that is what KC said. So the way I see it is that it isn't true til we find out from other sources.

Depression woulda worked well for the defense. Anxiety, not so much. Because it shows consciousness of guilt.
