George Anthony will testify against Casey next week before the grand jury

[MiraclesHappen]

So if Miss Casey is indicted in connection with her daughter's death, does her bail get revoked?

If a judge found her enough of a flight risk on endangerment charges to order ankle monitoring, how much more likely would she be to flee if she was facing more serious charges?

Could this be... Miss Casey's last weekend of freedom for years to come?

What they will do is set bail on the murder charges when she is hauled in.

It is not automatic that she will be held without bail, but she will finally forfeit the right to be bailed out. You know, that little Constitutional thing that has annoyed so many...myself included in this case.

Technically, since the alleged murder happened before this bond/bail was set, and not after, it (the alleged murder) would not be an arrest for a "new" offense. Hence, I doubt it would violate a condition of her release. That is the same reason the check fraud arrests did not get her bail revoked. It was the pulling out of LP that put her back in the slammer.

I cannot imagine she will be held in any way except with no right to bail, on this round.

The last thing I want is to start an arguement or anything. Maybe I will just go back to lurking. I am not here trying to defend anyone, the only person who I wish was defended was Caylee. I don't know who he thought was in the trunk and I am sure he knows deep in his heart that it was Caylee, but some people just can't face the facts.

Your rights are equal. Please don't lurk. Say what is on your mind.

I've had one hell of a stressful day, and it's affecting my ability to think.

Are you saying that she couldn't be held without bail if she's indicted, or that an indictment would mean she would forfeit her ability to paint her toenails in the comfort of her boudoir while waiting for the brownies to cool?

Nail polish and family Brownie recipe will become a memory. I predict she will be held without the right to be bonded out.:behindbar :crystal ball:



I am saying it is one of the limited times when she can be held with no bail.

If you read my post so as to feel a certain woohoo , you are reading it right.:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I thought TP said her indictment on more serious charges was a reason that bail could be revoked?

A crafty prosecutor might consider holding her without bail on the murder and---
Even if they can revoke the bail on the other charges, do not do that!

If it is revoked, she will get credit for time served while in the slammer on the murder.

If it isn't revoked, then technically she is still "free" on those charges even though in jail being held on the murder. Thus there cannot be credit for time served on those charges. I find that amusing.

Since it's been asked a couple of times, here is the Florida statute on who is allowed inside the Grand Jury:

905.17 Who may be present during session of grand jury.--

(1) No person shall be present at the sessions of the grand jury except the witness under examination, one attorney representing the witness for the sole purpose of advising and consulting with the witness, the state attorney and her or his assistant state attorneys, designated assistants as provided for in s. 27.18, the court reporter or stenographer, and the interpreter......


As for the Atty, Think more leaning over and whispering occasionally as opposed to presenting oral arguments.

This is fairly uniform from state to state, from my personal observations only...
Anyway, hope this clears it up for anyone who was wondering about this particular proceeding.:blowkiss:

I was just wondering if the questioning of GA in front of the GJ will be limited to only certain aspects of the case, namely the gas cans and the car itself, or can it be more far reaching, such as other facts occuring before, during, and after the disappearce of Caylee, and involve questions regarding other people besides KC, such as CA and LA.

It can be more of a fishing expedition....Remember, it is supposed to be an investigation. It is their job in there to seek out info and make sure the correct individuals are brought to justice for wrongdoing.
The rules of evidence, irrelevance vs relevance, immaterial vs material facts....those rules are for the regular courtroom, not the Grand Jury. hope that helps.

Found this on The Criminal Report Daily, David Lohr's site (he went down to Orlando to help Tim Miller with the Search)...states GJ is expected to return a decision by end of day Tuesday

Caylee AnthonyThere have been several new developments in the case of Casey Anthony and her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

According to a source close to the investigation, prosecutors now have enough forensic evidence to ask a grand jury to indict Anthony for her daughter's murder. That evidence allegedly proves that Caylee's body was in the trunk of the car Casey Anthony was driving and at one point in the backyard of the Anthony family home.

Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, have voluntarily provided investigators with DNA samples, which are currently being compared to hairs found in the trunk of the car. Anthony's brother, Lee Anthony, initially refused to provide investigators with a sample; however he later submitted to that request when investigators served him with a search warrant.

According to WFTV.com, George Anthony has been called to testify against his daughter before the grand jury. It remains unclear if Cindy and Lee will also be called to testify. In addition to family members, prosecutors will also present testimony from an FBI profiler, who is expected to offer a detailed analysis Anthony's psychological makeup.

Investigators are convinced that Caylee was murdered on or about June 17. Cell phone records show that from June 16 to June 18, Anthony mostly went about her normal routine - traveling to and from her parents and boyfriend's house - however, pings have also placed her near Blanchard Park and the Econ Trail, an isolated area south of Lake Underhill. Both those areas were searched by myself and Texas EquuSearch; however given the high waters and thick underbrush it is possible that evidence could have gone overlooked.

The grand jury is expected to issue a ruling in the case by the end of the day Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, is scheduled to appear before Judge Stan Strickland tomorrow, to rule on a motion Baez filed last week, requesting that Strickland lighten up on Anthony's home confinement restrictions. According to the motion, Anthony wants to get involved in the search for a "living" Caylee Anthony. Legal analysts predict that motion will be denied.

Anyone have a guess on how long this grand jury procedure would take? Witnesses, deliberations....average?

 

[OneLostGrl]

That is going to be so hard for him. I honestly do feel for him. I wouldn't want to have to be in his shoes doing that.

I do too. Though I will be very proud of him if he goes through with this. I will keep him in my prayers!

Thanks, misheley26! You answered my question at the same time I posted it!

So they indict, arrest her on the new charge(s), and judge denies bail...best possible scenario, correct?

Eyewitness News has learned George Anthony will testify against his daughter next week before the grand jury about, among other things what he's already told investigators, how in late June Casey prevented him from going near her trunk, which he later found exuded the smell of death.

"Her and I got into a little verbal, she don't want me to go in the trunk," Anthony told investigators during questioning.

http://www.wftv.com/news/17680298/detail.html

I just read this link and here is a little quote from wftv:


Trial jurors have to convict defendants beyond a reasonable doubt. Grand jurors only have to have probable cause, meaning a reasonable person would conclude from the evidence that Casey committed the crime.


That is true. But they seem to have omitted part one of the Grand Jury's job and that would be, as in this case, to determine that a crime has occurred in the first place. That is the crux of probable cause. 1) A crime was committed and 2) So & so probably committed that crime.

Just wanted to make that clarification as it helps to explain the wide latitude given the GJ as opposed to the trial jury in "regular" Court.
