Caylee Anthony General Discussion Thread #126

[SeriouslySearching]

CC! They had a previous engagement to go to the missing children benefit in Palm. They didn't just "take off". However, that being said...I bet they are enjoying the peace and quiet.

 

[Patty G]

He wants to believe her. She has a way of being what you want her to be. Ya' know???

Oh yeah, I know!

 

[fixingtoburst]

That's not intelligence...thats lack of character.

Stupid people slip up though. So far she's led everyone around by a nose ring.

I think people are under estimating Casey's intelligence. She'll go to the grave with this secret before she confides in anyone.

I don't think Casey is intelligent enough to avoid tripping up at some point. She must be under intense pressure to participate in finding Caylee - it's not as if that pressure is ever going to go away, so she'll continue to have to tell lie upon lie to spin the story out. At some point, she'll slip up.

Due to my lack of knowledge of bailbondsmen...question: If LP gets ticked about not getting information, what reason does he have to have to return CA to jail? I mean, can he just get ticked enough and say "Send her back!"?

I think the pressure is already starting to ease. It's no longer a front page story in a month or two there will be another big case. I'm not being cynical, I'm just saying that people start losing their focus. She may trip up, but is anyone going to be watching anymore?

Yup, he can revoke the bond at will.

You know it!! I bet they are too.

 

[fixingtoburst]

Does anyone know the terms of her bond agreement?

I don't think she is that intelligent. I think that 'Team CA' has some intelligent players though.

Hi All! (yes another Newbie who has been "lurking" for some time now!) But I've been wondering about that myself. I think LP thought that he would have more access to Casey. IMO he sounded a little miffed on Geraldo last night. What about the female inside with Casey though? Can she report to LP anything that she hears or observes?

LP SURELY knew from the start that JB was not going to let her talk to ANYBODY. If you even watch TV shows, you would know that this is what attorneys always tell their clients! LP does not have to keep her conversation priveleged. I think he was or is just hoping for her to slip-up.

"It's not front page news on any of the news stations in Orlando anymore and I could hardly find it today in the Orlando Sentinel.com
"

Unless something big breaks on this (body found, new charges), I think politics will take over most of the talking heads shows.

At least for the next 2 wks., I think you're right.

 

[NorthShoreJane]

If Casey is innocent, I would think she would be on TV everyday begging for someone to help find Caylee...

No criminal defense attorney, actively involved in a case, would ever allow their client to speak to anyone in the media. After a trial(s), possibly, but even then due to appeals processes and potential retrials, clients are often isolated from the media. Innocence or guilt is irrelevant as charges have already been filed. It is incumbent upon the criminal defense attorney to control all communications from the defense point-of-view.

Also, regarding LP and the bond money. I don't know what, if anything, he truly believes/believed about this specific case. It does not really matter. LP saw a perfect confluence of events----a true crime case gripping mainstream media across the country, a "National Geographic" television show in need of buzz, & a bail bonds business that could always use "free" p.r. I firmly believe LP's involvement was self-fulfilling---he wins regardless of what happens.

I was wondering, if he can't directly ask her questions because she has an attorney, could she voluntarily pass information on to him through her dad or somebody else, even though Baez said she won't talk to anyone? Just trying to figure out where Padilla is getting his ideas about the cell phones, and so forth.

IMHO All you have to do is look at the person beside Padilla in the interview last night in front of the Anthonys'... to find where Padilla is getting his information.

 

[karenmamo]

I think at the time Leonard put up 50 grand of his own money, his expectations were different than what turned out to be the reality.

I agree with the phrase McSev used on the last thread - at this point, Leonard Padilla is a 'wild card'.

What Baez can control is Leonard's access to his client, which so far he has blocked.

What Baez can't control is what Padilla does to mount an investigation into finding Caylee - after all, locating Caylee is what Baez wants to happen.

Isn't it? [/sarcasm]

Thanks to all for discussing this today.
LP is sorta stuck there now, isn't he?
Or is he just going to continue to milk it for whatver it's worth?
Or is he going to try to get back at JB for his trickery?
Hmmm
That would have been a horrible trick for JB to have pulled on him.

 

[QuickAttack]

My first post!

To start with, have to say I've been lurking for awhile and am so impressed with the sleuthers here!

And thanks right away to Patty G for keeping me up to date on the tv interviews, most of which I don't get here.

Observation re JB...seems to me he is going to get himself in trouble if he keeps going the way he is as he is putting himself in a position where he could easily become a witness in this matter. It is not at all uncommon for desperate people to turn on their lawyers if they think there is something in it for them, and one day in the future, she may allege that she gave him info that would have located Casey, but he wouldn't let her give it to LE...in which case, she presumably would be waiving legal professional privilege and he would have to testify.

Re LE stating last night that they are searching for her alive...I'm not convinced they are, though I hope of course that she is alive....I think they want Casey to start talking again...the more lies she tells, the stronger the case they have, if they want to proceed without a body.

Re my theory of what happened...I think anything is possible....for weeks I was convinced she left Caylee in the car while she was with Tony and Caylee died from the heat etc....now, however, after watching her parents, and her demeanour, I can't help but wonder if there is a lot more evil going on here than I first thought. I felt very sorry for the GPs until 2 nights ago, when I re-watched all their interviews, and I'm convinced that they are not just in denial, but rather they are trying to play the public for fools, are insulting our intelligence, and don't appear to show any emotions consistent with concern for Caylee (as oppposed to Casey).

I don't get why Cindy's so venemous with the media, and I don't think despair alone explain her or George's inconsistencies. Sometimes I think they may have been involved from the beginning (I am not sure that when Casey says "you don't know what my involvement is" to her mom in the phone call, she is merely being indignant...her mom's response is odd too...I think there is a real chance she was saying "of course you know mom".

I agree with EVERY point you made. Every single one.

Great first post, bunny. :clap::clap::clap:

People are watching, it just this last week with all the floods in Florida do to the Fay, then the conflict with Georgia and Russia, the Congresswoman that past and the Democratic convention, the media is down to local and FOX.

Once Cindy and George clammed up, that was it!

I agree.

Thanks, Patty. So he CAN return her for a refund? Now, there's a thought.

FYI, Tony is on his thread.
