Eyewitness News learned Monday the Department of Children and Families was at Casey Anthony's home last week, not to investigate Casey but to investigate her mother, Cindy Anthony.

Cindy Anthony is on disability leave from her nursing job. She mentioned during a recent paid network television appearance that she was babysitting a friend's children.

A viewer was concerned that Cindy might be taking money while being on disability. As a result, DCF said it checked into it and found Cindy was doing nothing wrong.

Is Casey Anthony's family trying to build a resonable doubt case?
November 17, 8:26 PM
<snipped>
Answer &#8220;yes,&#8221; they&#8217;re all involved, not in the murder, but in the attempt to muddy the water so much that a jury goes "well I don't know it seems like reasonable doubt to me!"
That is exactly what is going on here, the person driving the engine from day one has been her first attorney. Can it be called an effective defensive strategy? Absolutely, but can it be also called a conspiracy to obstruct justice?

It may very well be, that at some point the prosecutor may say "I think it's time we charged the whole darn bunch of you, including you Mr. attorney with a conspiracy to obstruct justice."

Only in America can you become a celebrity when accused of murdering your innocent child or of killing couple of your wives!

These two cases bring a serious question about what happens in America when someone gets a huge amount of exposure from the media due to their alleged actions. There is some point in this process while they may still be a suspect, where they became a celebrity of sorts.

His attorney told WESH 2 Thursday that Kronk has some things in his past he's not proud of, but none of that has any bearing on his discovery of Caylee's remains or that he's been truthful about how it occurred.

Conway said that's all the Anthonys want from Kronk.

"Personal issues versus what happened to discover Caylee's remains are two different things They want him to be full and complete about what happened," Conway said.

P.I. Looking Into Past Of Man Who Found Caylee's Remains
POSTED: Thursday, November 19, 2009
UPDATED: 1:42 pm EST November 19, 2009
<snipped>
The man who found the remains of Caylee Anthony was deposed on Thursday by Casey Anthony's defense team, which has added a private investigator to its lineup.

A new member of the defense team was seen entering the courtroom on Thursday. Mort Smith is a Chicago-based private investigator who teaches his skills at DePaul University, the same school where fellow defense team member Andrea Lyon teaches.

Smith has been digging into Kronk's personal life for the past several months in an effort to uncover information that might discredit the former meter reader, or at least cast doubt on his story of how he found Caylee.

Mort Smith is a Chicago-based private investigator.

Casey Anthony's attorney filed a new motion to "introduce prior bad acts" by Roy Kronk, the former meter reader who found Caylee Anthony's remains.

The motion, filed late Thursday, came after Kronk spent the day giving a deposition behind closed doors to the defense.

Kronk will come back for a second day of depositions in the case against Casey Anthony.

Kronk's attorney dismissed the motion, saying the defense is looking for someone else to point a finger at.

According to a motion filed by the defense, Kronk had "monetary interests in finding Caylee." The defense also points out that "Mr. Kronk took a 'personal day' from where he used to work on December 10, 2008, providing him with an opportunity to possibly stage his discovery of Caylee Anthony's remains."

"No member of law enforcement from the FBI to the Orange County Sheriff's Office to the State Attorney's Office has ever suggested to my knowledge that Mr. Kronk is a suspect in any wrongdoing in this case," said Evans. "I think that speaks volumes."

WHAT WILL THE JURY THINK IF SHE DOESN&#8217;T TAKE THE STAND??
<snipped>
This right is SO fundamental to our system of justice, that during the course of the trial, should the prosecutor even so much as mention, directly, or indirectly, the failure of the accused to take the witness stand to testify in his own behalf, the trial judge, upon a timely objection by the defense lawyer would be required to grant a mistrial, dismiss the jury, and order a new trial.

Next time, let&#8217;s discuss another topic of considerable interest to many of you: why is the State Attorney&#8217;s Office not charging the Anthonys with perjury?

Eyewitness News asked how the defense will fight the evidence of coffin flies that were found in Casey&#8217;s trunk.

&#8220;Do you believe coffin flies were in the trunk or are you telling us there weren't coffin flie?&#8221; Belich asked.

&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to comment,&#8221; Jose Baez responded.

&#8220;I think we're going to see them so how are you going to fight that?&#8221; asked Belich.

&#8220;I'm not going to comment on what we plan on doing. If that were the case, I might as well cash it in right now,&#8221; he said.

Eyewitness News learned that the defense isn&#8217;t finished. Baez plans to question Kronk again and said he's also considering a guilty plea in Casey's check fraud case which will be heard in January.

For the first time, Casey Anthony&#8217;s lawyers are pointing the finger at someone else.

Shortly after the motion being filed by Anthony's defense team, Kronk's attorney, David Evans, released the following statement.

"Today, the Casey Anthony defense team commenced, but did not complete, the deposition of Roy Kronk in the State v. Casey Anthony case. Shortly after adjourning the deposition, the Anthony defense team filed a Motion, Memorandum of Law, and accompanying materials suggesting that Roy Kronk, the individual who found Caylee Anthony's remains and repeatedly reported his find to law enforcement agencies, should be considered a suspect in the murder of Caylee Anthony.

On WKMG-Channel 6, Mike DeForest speculated on what was happening in the deposition. "Casey Anthony's attorneys are likely grilling Kronk about why he returned to those woods and whether someone may have tipped him off that the child's body was there," DeForest said.

DeForest said the deposition could continue Friday.

Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee Anthony's remains, was deposed today by Casey Anthony's attorneys. There will be a second day of questioning, probably after Thanksgiving.

A pretrial hearing on Casey Anthony's check-fraud trial is set for Dec. 11, and that trial is set for Jan. 25, WFTV anchor Bob Opsahl said. A pretrial hearing in her murder trial is set for Jan. 21, Opsahl added.

WESH's Sugalski noted that Dominic Casey, the attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, is scheduled to be deposed by the defense team on Dec. 16.

The motion asks the court "to allow Anthony to introduce at trial circumstantial evidence tending to indicate that a third party, and not Miss Anthony, is equally likely to be responsible for the death of the child Caylee Marie Anthony."

These allegations come the same day Kronk was deposed for several hours and the defense team unveiled its newest member, Mort Smith, a private investigator and professor at DePaul University.

Kronk's attorney, David Evans, issued a news release Thursday evening stating his client is a witness, not a suspect.

Evans said Kronk has always understood he may become a target of the defense.

Kronk's deposition will continue on Friday.
