Can't jb get in trouble for those letters that he got from ca and gave to her family members???? Isn't that a no-no?????
Baez apologized in open court today for the contempt motion. Is this a big deal or slap on the wrist? Can they use it against him if he messes up again? I feel like he thinks, yet again, that he's got off easy or got away with something and that just upsets me!
I do think Casey was briefly "arrested" when the less experienced officer put handcuffs on Casey after Cindy told him that she wanted to press charges against Casey for the bank account/credit card thefts. However, I don't think Casey was still "arrested" - the more applicable term would be "in custody" - when she made the statements about Zanny the Nanny kidnapping Caylee while Casey was at work or when Casey wrote out her police report statement. Certainly Casey was not in custody when she gave the bogus statements to the 9-1-1 operator prior to the police arriving on scene.Hi Kat, great to see you on this thread, I've read your very valuable and knowledgeable posts for the entire length of this case, "elsewhere".
Based on your post, are you then of the opinion that Casey was not ever "arrested"? That's the way I'm reading your post, but I'd like for you to specifically reflect on the word, "arrested".
Thanks so much!
According to the testimony today, do you believe that Cindy Anthony was an "Agent of the State?"
I enjoyed your previous answer so much, I thought it would be fun to ask again, after the testimony today.
No, I think Cindy Anthony was the furthest possible thing from an "agent of the State" that anyone could have been. I think she was actively, intentionally and single-mindedly attempting to THWART the State at every turn. I think she was an "agent of the State" in much the same way that Osama Bin Laden is an agent of the US Government. With "agents" like these, who needs enemies? :waitasec:
With JB's questioning re: the Anthony's and others...not "liking" nor "trusting" JB...is he not also obliterating his argument that Casey "can't" (not won't) see her parents because the big bad state records all of her visits. Seems to me like JB in his questioning, to particular issue with whether or not CA/GA/LA liked him...and were trying to circumvent him...and damage his relationship with his client...ICA can't keep her hands off of JB in court, totally ignores her dad and barely acknowledges her mother...
I guess where I am going is: it is clear that JB and his client do not want CA/GA/LA to visit ICA in jail. It is clear that JB viewed the many negative things said about him by her family to be threatening to him...How can he carry on and on that it is the State keeping ICA from her family when he wants to declare the Anthony's agents of the state? What attorney would want those who oppose him and his tactics (who claim they "just want answers" from Casey) near his client? Is he not highlighting that it is JB in conjunction with Casey...keeping GA/CA/LA from ICA and not the Big bad state of Florida?
Does anyone think that JB should yank Casey's chain about snubbing family members in court? It makes her look like she has ice running through her veins. Her behavior gives credence to the theory that she killed Caylee to get back at her parents for considering taking Caylee away from her.
A more general question for our lawerly friends. Now that you have heard all of the testimony, have your feelings or opinions on any of the motions changed? Do you think that any part of the motions will be granted or dismissed?
When was ICA read her miranda rights?
I'd hate to see her get off on a technicality!
BBM....Really? You have never been to New York City have you?
With regards to what happened at Universal - if the statement is kept out due to Miranda violation, won't the state be able to put the guy (forget his name) who was head of security at Universal on the stand and get his accounting as to Casey's bluffing -that she was employed there,claiming she had supervisors that didn't exist and went so far as to walk with purpose down a hallway to an office that didn't exixt? All of this would go to state of mind; she was using valuable time when her child was missing to lead the detectives on a wild goose chase and there are witnesses to this from Universal. In other words, her demeanor and actions on that day can be brought in through direct testimony of eye witnesses yes?
"I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
So through 2 1/2 days of hearings...one thing stands out...ICA's very odd behavior and reactions to things...
1) How is she going to make it through trial without outbursts? How will ICA react when the 911 phone calls are played? How will ICA react when her-exboyfriend(s) (mostly Tony) is on the stand? Her friends? When the State goes into detail about Caylee's remains? The trunk? A timeline of what ICA was doing during those 31 days? I know the Defense has given her legal pads and various colored pens to keep her busy...but surely they have to know she will not be able to control her outbursts? I guess this must play into mitigation...see how odd our client acts = hence, ugly coping after the death/missing of Caylee? Because there have been times, when I sincerely wonder how her odd giggles combined with stoic indifference towards her family will play in front of a jury.
If ICA's statements to LE at Universal do not come into evidence how much of her statements will? Starting with her mother "forcing" her to speak with the 911 operator?
TY AZ Lawyer and Richard H. for trying to answer all of our questions. We have a lot of them...and clearly, we will have a lot more...lol.
Question, even if the testimony of KC is thrown out...can't the state call GA, CA, or LA to the stand to VERIFY all of the stuff that KC said as far as Nanny, Universal not really working there, etc? To me that would be all the Jury needed to hear. LA did his own investigation, can't the notes of that investigation (ie he called Universal to try to find these fictional people, etc) be used on the stand?
Just curious here. Will the state be allowed to ask george, cindy and lee why they refused to take a lie detector test?
