Defense FINALLY Begins Depo Process

[Cat13067]

I wanna give you all a little insight to Deposition costs. I just had a deposition take place for one of my cases last week. I just now got the bill for said SINGLE deposition. The entire total was $2,683.99.

And that was just for one single deposition. For only one day. Sometimes some depos can be taken over a period of days.

And the defense MUST take a deposition of every state witness. Their witness list is 100+. You do the math. The FL taxpayers are going to pay a lot for Casey's costs for her defense.

And don't even get me started about how much experts can cost ....

GRRRR I'm about ready to explode! Guess my husband, and I should go get second jobs, so we can make sure we can pay the State of Florida more tax money for KC's defense. Wonder what GA, and CA are contributing to the State of Florida to defend Caylee's murderer? Oh that's right they don't work!

I think it was a smart move by the defense to wait on these depo's until the SA turned over all discovery. They can do depo's now knowing everything the state knows. Moreover, they can have the state pay for it. Probably Al's doing. It may be as simple as they just didn't have the money to do the depo's in the past. Now it begins, they have deposed 3 investigators as of today. IMO

Excuse Me! What do you think the depositions are going to reveal to the defense? If there was something in any of those depositions the defense would have deposed those people. They had access to many of the depositions, but did they depose anyone besides AL, RK, AH, RM, and the towing company owner.

May I ask how much you are going to contribute to KC's defense fund?

 

[Cat13067]

To add, if you do not mind ...

Because KC is in jail this whole time, does it really matter when the trial begins? She is in what amounts to solitary confinement. Is justice served when Caylee's killer is behind bars. Or when the killer is dead?

You are so right! Just knowing she will never touch another child, hug her parents, eat her favorite chili, jump in the ocean, text, etc. sorta makes me smile. Don't get me wrong I still want her to have a seat on "Old Sparky" for what she did to Caylee.

Video: More Depositions Ahead
http://www.cfnews13.com/MediaPlayer2...CAC&title=More Depositions Ahead

Later this week, the defense will begin a vigorous schedule of depositions. On Friday, three people are set to be questioned under oath, including two sheriff's officials and Casey’s ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Morales. This will be the first round of depositions that are scheduled nearly every week, for the rest of summer. :thumb:

I see by Nums24 media posting that Baez et al are deposing Roy Kronk and Jesse Grund today.

This is such sad tired news that I can't even get worked up about it this far down the road.

Anybody still :banghead::banghead::banghead: and want to comment?

All I have to say is ... if the defense will do this to Kronk - who has NO connection to Caylee or Casey or the family home ..... what will they do to GEORGE who has access, opportunity, and they will try to present motive ??!!

Be sure to watch this interview with Kronk and his atty--it is so funny that the commercial before the interview shows giant alligators randomly threatening all people in its path!! Sounds just llike what the defense team is doingython:

And court reporters not only charge for their time, but per transcript page. I don't know what the going rate is now, but it used to be $1.00 per page about 10 years ago (per transcript page) when I was in court reporting school. That may not sound like a lot, but that amount gets multiplied by each copy that is distributed.

When Casey is found guilty, George is going to be skewered and Cindy next.

They are going to bring on everything and what is the worst crime pretty much imaginable is sexual abuse of a child. (I don't believe it happened, but it is what the jury believes not me). I can see them using Lee also since Casey mentioned him. They are going to be like Sherman and rip through the family and leave it in ashes in order to save Casey's life. Lee will have to move to Alaska.

...umm what? They spent 250k... how would it be that they didn't have money for depos? I don't understand. And it is criminal that taxpayers have to shell out money for this waste of time. The defense shouldn't even need to worry about every single state witness...it just proves they have nothing but trying to poke holes in the state's case. Sad and disgusting.

 

[cherishtoo]

Why would Bradley Wright's attorney Tony Moss visit KC for an hour? Bradley Wright is Kronk's old roommate and the witness who is now on a fishing boat.

We were speculating that one of the attorney's - maybe CM may be attempting to flee, since this lawyer is a death penalty experienced and could take his place. Is he really Bradley Wright's attorney also? If so that would be very very interesting. And why did the roommate need such an experienced lawyer?

Wow, if a witnesse's attorney met with a defendant (ICA) without HER attorney being present.....that is unethical and just plain wierd! IF he's working on behalf of the defense team, it's a conflict of interest.....

Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere already that I'm not seeing, but was this attorney on the jail's visitation list or something? It sounds highly inappropriate........geez, I forgot what case I was posting about.........duh!:blushing:

 

[Gma Kat]

I went to Tony Moss's website. He has a page of cases/testimonials he has tried. I found this case of his interesting

"State v. Charles Byrd—blunt impact death of 29-month-old boy in client’s custody."

I'd like to learn more about it and will post the info if I find it.

NTS,,, I can truly understand what you say about it being a smart move on the defense's part to wait on the depos until they know what the state knows. I do understand that.. however the defense is not limited to one set of questions per witness. The MUCH more intelligent move would have been to depo the folks they were very interested in while memories were fresh, accurate and those folks hadn't had almost two years worth of the defense swinging allegations their way and badmouthing them in the press. To wait almost two years to depo someone again that you have slung alot of "poopiness" at in the media..dragged their ex's into the mess and then expect to have a less than hostile and open person to question, is frankly.. idiocy.

What the defense should have done.. was depo most of these folks earlier (specifically Roy Kronk since they were extremely vocal about considering him as a potential suspect in Caylee's murder) and THEN come back to them and clarify comments BASED on what the state now knows. They are just NOW getting back to Roy Kronk again?????? It's not rocket science.. its just good logic.

As for your comment regarding not having the funds early on... I will happily take that into account if you can point me to a link where JB can account for where the majority of the 250k was spent.

To point to a defense team with 250,000 dollars at their disposal, less than half of it accounted for with defense expenses and then continue to say they couldn't get together a couple thousand dollars to pay for Roy Kronk's depo, once again.. who is someone the defense considered a MURDER SUSPECT. Whom if they could find anything suspicious in his depo.. they could take to the police for investigation and prove their client's innocence and get her freed before it even WENT to trial! OMG.. to let Casey sit in jail and let her WAIT for almost two years until they could get it together enough to do a depo on a potential SUSPECT in the murder of her only child which she is facing the DEATH PENALTY FOR? ?????? In order to not spend as little as $2000 of CASEY"S $250,000 DOLLARS???????

Frankly NTW.. In my opinion... NOT doing Roy Kronk's depo when the defense had the opportunity for almost two years.... is irresponsibility at its finest.
