Casey Anthony team objects to release of audio recordings

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-casey-anthony-video-diary-audio-20120208,0,1564615.story

Casey Anthony's legal team has filed a formal objection to the request by attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez to produce the "audio recordings" mentioned in Anthony's video diary.

Her attorneys object to the request because it "is vague, confusing, over broad, irrelevant, unduly burdensome, intended to harass, not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, an invasion of privacy, and seeks confidential and/or otherwise privileged information."

The objection notes that Anthony again asserts her privilege against self incrimination.

The objection was filed by her attorneys with the court Tuesday in the defamation case.


This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.

Ethics, Rumors And The Tragic Deaths Of Caylee Anthony And Calyx And Beau Schenecker

http://www.forbes.com/sites/crime/2012/02/07/ethics-rumors-and-the-tragic-deaths-of-caylee-anthony-and-calyx-and-beau-schenecker/

I’m not sure how it happened, but the once tabloid-only practice of paying for interviews has grown far more common, albeit through more subtle means. Rather than giving an outright payment, prominent periodicals and networks have paid for photos and family movies, and then received interviews. The media outlets could still say they did not pay for an interview, but the ethical gymnastics were a bit obvious nonetheless.

This contortion of journalistic ethics was never more blatant than when I was writing Mommy’s Little Girl, a true crime account about the Caylee Anthony tragedy. A major network paid the outrageous sum of $200,000 for the rights to use Anthony family photos and videos. Soon, anyone who had anything Caylee were lining up lawyers to get deals to exchange their images for cold, hard cash, with the interview serving as a side dish after the consummation of the transaction.

A public backlash swelled in response to these deals in the Anthony story, with boycotts threatened and petitions circulated. It wasn’t long before a new wrinkle entered the mix when the Anthony family started a foundation. Soon, the seemingly respectable alternative was to make a donation to this non-charitable entity to get what you wanted from the family.

In addition of the blurring of ethical boundaries, another unfortunate result for me was the circulation of rumors insisting that I and others had to have paid the Anthony family (Caylee’s mother Casey and grandparents George and Cindy), or the foundation to write or produce anything about the case. That falsity rode on the back of criticism questioning the Anthonys’ use of the charitable organization as a personal profit generator.

I did have the opportunity to offer payment of one sort or another to get an interview with the Anthonys, but I refused to take the bait and refused to participate. Of course, that did not stop the rumors, all of which tend to have eternal life on the Internet.

I suppose the public opinion of the ethics of George and Cindy should have prepared me for that result and, to some degree, it did. I have to admit, though, I was totally stunned when I got the same reaction during my research for my Schenecker book.

RadarOnline.com has exclusively viewed 52 more never-before-seen photos of the 25-year-old.

And while many of the photos were taken inside the same place she tapes her video blogs from, RadarOnline.com can confirm that Casey does in fact venture out into the real world, as a few of the photos were taken outside.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA--- Casey Anthony has surfaced in yet another video, supposedly "leaked" to the public.

The latest video shows the "Most Hated Woman in America" hamming it up for the camera and gushing about how she is finally "happy....really happy" with her life.

The video, which is dated November 6, 2011 shows a blonde Casey Anthony discussing the changes she is making to her life, which are very much to her liking. Anthony also details the "amazing" weekend she spent with someone significant, although that person's name has been edited out.

Recent speculation has raised the possibility that Casey herself is behind the leaks and that she is basking in the effect that she has on an angry public.

More Casey Anthony video has hit the Internet.

WESH-Channel 2 reported that “sources” say that Anthony posted the videos herself into an online forum for a small group of supporters, but someone leaked them.

What to make of that?

“I never bought into the theory that the videos were pirated and not put there without either her consent or participation,” said attorney Bill Sheaffer, a legal analyst for WFTV-Channel 9. “The continued release verifies our suspicion that she’s been a part of this the whole time.”

Nothing in the videos touches on the issues in the civil lawsuits against Anthony brought by Zenaida Gonzalez and Texas EquuSearch, Sheaffer added. In the newest footage, Anthony talks about herself, and a dog can be heard barking.

“As long as she’s talking about present-day activities in her life, what she’s saying has nothing to do with the civil suits and it’s going to be a hard argument for the plaintiff to make that she’s waived her Fifth Amendment privileges,” he said.

State Attorney candidates' past financial troubles could hurt campaign

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —

The race for Orange-Osceola state attorney is heating up, but WFTV found out one of the candidates' past financial troubles could hurt his campaign.

Prosecutor Jeff Ashton, who earned more than $120,000 a year when he retired from the State Attorney's Office after the Casey Anthony trial, filed for personal bankruptcy fifteen years ago.

Written By Dr. Keith Ablow - Published February 13, 2011

With Valentine’s Day at hand, it may seem an odd time to reflect on love gone overboard, into obsession, but to be honest, I was never much for Hallmark cards.
Genuine, balanced romance and over-the-top addictive attachment actually have the same chief ingredient: the object of the emotion has to trigger core, deeply-rooted psychological dynamics in the person who feels it. These dynamics often reach back to childhood; they’re loose ends that the object of love seems to tie into a neat bow.

February 13, 2012|By Marni Jameson, Orlando Sentinel

Looking nervous but professional in their white coats, first-year medical students at UCF College of Medicine on Monday faced Dr. Jan Garavaglia, the region's most recognized forensics expert, and told her why their first patients had died. Known to many as simply Dr. G, the chief medical examiner for Orange and Osceola counties and star of the Discovery Channel's "Dr. G: Medical Examiner" listened intently as the 13 teams presented their autopsy reports.

After one of the final presentations, in which the team thought the findings were rather inconclusive, Garavaglia asked, "What would be the one thing you would like to know about this woman to help you determine her cause of death?"
The answer: her lifestyle.
She nodded, confirming the difficulty of the task. "Rarely in an autopsy can we point definitively to what caused the death without some history or knowing the circumstances," said the chief medical examiner widely known for her testimony in the Casey Anthony trial. "If we know a little more about their circumstances, that helps a lot."

Scott Bush Allowed To Remove Ankle Monitor

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judge allowed a man accused of raping two children under the age of 12 to swap his ankle monitor for home confinement on Thursday.

“The bottom line is much ado has been made out of this case that is not deserved,” Cheney Mason, Bush’s attorney, said.

Bush argued he should be allowed to shed his GPS ankle monitor, because he has abided by terms of his release, and the $340 per month monitoring cost is a financial hardship.
Prosecutors pointed out that Bush and his family's trust owned property in Florida, California and Alaska valued at more than $1.3 million and that the trust has a net worth of at least $400,000, by Bush’s own estimate.

'Caylee's Law' moving in House, but drops name
http://www.cfnews13.com/article/news/2012/february/382296/caylees-law

A bill inspired by Caylee Anthony's death is moving in the Florida House after being changed to match the Senate's version.

The bill (HB 37) was unanimously approved Tuesday by the House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee, but no longer sets reporting deadlines for missing or deceased children.

Police said that could result in unintended consequences.

Instead, it increases the maximum from a year in jail to five years in prison for knowingly making a false statement to police about a missing child.

The bill is also no longer called "Caylee's Law."

Sad that it was renamed. To me it will always be "Caylee's Law".

Unflappable Judge O.H. Eaton Jr., who provided analysis during the Casey Anthony trial for WESH-Channel 2, was back in the news in a big way today.

...... In July, during the trial, Eaton reiterated a defense point that the state didn’t answer how Caylee died, when she died, where she died or who was with her.........

..... “The state had rested its case, and immediately the defense had said that they wanted to have an acquittal or a mistrial. They got an acquittal, and that means there are no more criminal charges against Delores Laster.”

WKMG-Channel 6’s Mike DeForest reported: “It was a grand jury that indicted Delores Laster on first-degree murder based on testimony from her children. The problem for the state is once those children got up in the courtroom and started testifying, they changed their story.

(what children told Grand Jury)

February 13, 2012|By Anthony Colarossi and Bianca Prieto

During his grand jury testimony, Clyde Laster said he remembered being awakened by his sister who said, "Clyde, get up. Dad is hurt."
He then said he recalled finding his father slumped down on the floor "semi-conscious or something like that." He also remembered blood on a nightstand. He and his sister thought to call for an ambulance, but his mother said they couldn't afford it, according to this testimony.
Clyde Laster, who as about 10 at the time of the death, said he helped drag his father from the bedroom to the garage. He said his father then threw up and told his family members to leave him alone. That's when his family, including his wife and children, left in the car for a trip to Gainesville, the son said. It was still dark at the time, he said.

When they returned later that weekend in March 1988, they found Clarence Laster's body in the garage, but Clyde Laster said he never learned how his father died — with a gunshot wound to the back of his head — until 20 years later when investigators started questioning him about the case again.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Partial+summary+judgment
Summary Judgment
A procedural device used during civil litigation to promptly and expeditiously dispose of a case without a trial. It is used when there is no dispute as to the material facts of the case and a party is entitled to judgment as a Matter of Law.
........
The purpose of summary judgment is to avoid unnecessary trials. It may also simplify a trial, as when partial summary judgment dispenses with certain issues or claims. For example, a court might grant partial summary judgment in a personal injury case on the issue of liability. A trial would still be necessary to determine the amount of damages.
