Wow I can barely keep up with you guys.
I know most of you are appalled by the jury's decision, as am I, but this was never a slam-dunk case. I blame Officer Cain for not finding Caylee in August 2008 when there would have been more forensic evidence and the duct tape might have been more obviously in place.
Can she be sued in Civil Court by searchers and the State of Fla for knowingly allowing a false search to continue?
I will have to really think again if I would ever search again after what I saw Kronk accused of.
Not by the searchers. Perhaps by the State for the expenses of the search. But the expenses of the search were nothing compared to the expense of the murder prosecution. I seriously doubt the State will even bother looking into this.
Can HHJP do anything about this? Anything at all? I thought I read at some point that he could do something if he disagreed with the jury and impose a harsher sentence or something? Or am I just grasping at straws at this point?
No.
Can Judge Perry refuse to honor time served?
Also, if Cindy now decided to prosecute Casey for the stolen checks, what is the statue of limitations on that?
No. She must be given credit for time served.
Cindy can't decide to prosecute--the SA would have to do that. But the statute of limitations is 3 years anyway, so that's over.
Did the judge ever deny the motion filed by A. Finnell? The one filed around June 29th?
Is there anyway the state can re-open the case since Casey-Baez admitted that Caylee died in the family pool?
Is there anyway the State can re-open this case?
If true that Caylee's Paternal grandmother has been found can she file a civil suit against Casey and the Anthony's?
Judge Perry said he has reviewed the motion, and will reserve ruling for now, and would decide
before the jury returns with a verdict.

It is too late for HHJP to grant the mistrial motion.
There is no way to reopen the case.
Grandparents are not permitted plaintiffs in wrongful death lawsuits in Florida.
Does Perry have to give her time served? Or can he impose 4 one year consecutive sentences starting from right now? After all, she is a 6 time convicted felon.
Yes. He has to give her credit for time served. He could technically impose 4 one-year consecutive sentences starting from when she finished her "time served" on the check charges, which would mean she would have another 2.5 years to go (eligible for parole after 85%).
One of the alternate jurors has given a phone interview. In it, he says at one point, "That was a big factor in our decision."
But he was an alternate. Not part of the deliberations. I realize he could just be speaking as though he were part of the deliberations. I also realize I'm probably in the bargaining stage of grief right now. But if the whole jury group discussed the case amongst themselves, would there be any consequences?
How could he even say that when not one of them was allowed to speak to the others during the trial and he didn't get to participate in the deliberations? Just wondering....'cause as you said, they shouldn't have been discussing the case amongst themselves until deliberations.
The alternate juror should not know what happened during the deliberations--you are correct. Because there was an acquittal, double jeopardy would prevent anything being done to change the verdict even if it later appears that the jurors violated the rules.
I have asked this everywhere....
Can someone please give me a guess estimate on what ICA will get on the Charges she was found guilty of?...
Most likely time served.
Two of the most tragic words ever spoken.
There's laws in Australia that allow the police to prosecute those caught making false claims and retrieve the money spent on resources investigating those false claims. It was done once here in a very famous case of a reported false kidnapping (Fairle Arrow - alleged kidnapping) I so wish this was the case in Florida.
AZ - do you think the civil case will move full steam ahead now and will it be successful?
I can live with her getting away with murder, just, I don't know how people will cope if she profits from it.
Do you mean the ZFG case? I always thought that case was borderline frivolous. I suspect if Casey gets some income soon (and I bet she will :sick
she will offer a quick settlement to get rid of that case.
What would happen if evidence was uncovered of jury misconduct/tampering during the deliberations ? Can the verdict be overturned ?
No.
What about time for the check charges she was convicted for?? will she get time for that??
She has already served her time for the check charges, plus an extra 1.5 years.
