Does anyone know if LE acknowledged getting this fake ZG / traffic ticket/ driver's license info? (I know some WSers said they were sending it to LE) If so, have they followed up on it? I'm mostly afraid that the defense is going to pull this whole incident out of their butts at trial and say "See, this is the ZFG that KC has been telling LE about all along, and they didn't even follow up on it even as someone obtaining a license without valid info, let alone as the kidnapper of Caylee.....They didn't even try to track her down, they chose to ignore it because they prejudged KC to be guilty", etc, etc.
IMHO, Meemom, LE is not obligated to acknowledge this info. It would come out one of two ways:
1) Leaked by LE and/or SA's office to the media, or,
2) Released to the defense by SA's office as compelled by a motion by the defense and to the public via the Sunshine Laws
w.r.t. 1 above, recall the new sheriff recently warned about sealing up leaking info...just as an example of this avenue.
Further, if I understand correctly, w.r.t. 2 above, the SA can withold something from being released to the public that is vital to the on-going investigation. Also, w.r.t. 2 above, the defense is likely not compelled to request release of the information regarding Casey ever allegedly impersonating a ZFG...'twouldn't be prudent...as it would paint their client in the poorest of light :wink:
IIRC - and anyone can look-up on the Orange County Clerks website in the traffic section by name "Z G" cases showing d.o.b. as 1/11/86 - that payments were made on the failure to produce valid DL charge on the date that Casey was bailed out, and the amount of payment was on the order of some miscellaneous charges that were paid @ the time bail was made. These misc. charges were reported by the media and were mysterious. You can read more about this in the "Zanni..." thread.
FWIW, Someone that actually knows what they're talking about could better answer the question if you wanna post it on the "Procedure and Legal Questions" thread.
THAT was the long answer.
HERE's the short answer.
LE knew about this waaaaaaay before we did. :thumb: The evidence of this is the line of questioning in the interview w/ Jamie that the detective zeroed in on Casey telling the Jamie that she couldn't/wouldn't meet up w/ her because she had to go downtown to deal with a ticket. Jamie gave answers about it being something like a month ago...which at the time of the interview put it later than the actual event on 7/15...but when put in context of the events they were discussing that day would've put it around 7/15. The detective went back to this a couple of times because he knew what he was after. :thumb:
We independently noted in Casey's cell log the text convo between Casey & Jamie 7/15 ~11:30AM that would've corresponded with the account Jamie gave to LE just a short time before Casey made the trip to BoA downtown.
Let not your heart be troubled. Hope that helps.
