Motion to Take Deposition to Perpetuate Testimony of Jill Kerley

[LinasK]

Jk being an Trauma Nurse at a university. Does that mean she is an RN or has a four year degree?

I would imagine that you'd need to be a Registered Nurse to be a Trauma nurse, not just a Licensed Nurse (LVN) or CNA.

I keep thinking she and Cindy would probably be great friends!

Oh, I don't know. I think Cindy likes being able to balance her checkbook for once. LOL :Benny_monkeysmilies

I noticed on a couple of her charges she was given intensive probation. Here in NC we have 3 levels of supervised probation. I'm sure Florida is the same way since NC uses the OPUS software bought from Florida DoC. You have community, intermediate, and intensive. Intensive probation has added levels of suprvision compared with the other 2.

Such as 6pm curfew, having a surveillance officer come by your house multiple times a week, and not being able to leave the county. Also a judge as part of intensive can issue other conditions such as house arrest, and participation in the Criminal Justice Partnership Program, ect, ect. CJPP is unique to NC but other states have similar rehabilitation/crime prevention programs as part of the Department of Corrections: Community Corrections division.

So much of this case deals with Florida. I forgot she was charged and sentenced in Tennessee at that link above. I would be willing to guess TN's community corrections system is very similar to NC as well. Since the western most counties of NC and the eastern counties of TN have many cases that transfer between them. I know Cherokee and Graham counties in western NC get a number of court cases that are actually TN residents who committed crimes in NC and then have the sentence transferred to TN. There is a fee for doing so though. Which if I remember is 180ish dollars.

 

[The World According]

I do not see her testifying at the trial, any sooner than Johnny so and so testifying that one Wednesday in junior high gym class he sold Tony his fist joint to prove that Tony is in a drug ring that likely kidnapped the baby. If things I did ten or twenty years ago were held against me now, I'd be ruined. LOL!!!

So if she is on probation it has nothing to do with her illness. She can't leave the state. Would be interesting to find out if this is the real reason. What a waste of time. JMO

you can often leave the state with permission, typically you just notify your PO. Remember this motion is only to perpetuate her testimony in the event she cannot travel or she dies.

 

[LambChop]

It will be interesting to see if this even gets off the ground. They do not seem to be in any hurry to schedule the depo.

 

[Intermezzo]

Jk being an Trauma Nurse at a university. Does that mean she is an RN or has a four year degree? I was just wondering, why does she need to write bad checks and when the press says she has a criminal record, do they have the right JK? Moo

BBM
Point being????

 

[strawberry]

How is this woman a trauma nurse with her record? Especially the drug and theft charges? Can someone give me a link with the dates of the charges? Sorry if it's already in this thread somewhere...I didn't see one. Was she fired after the charges?

It really just depends on if the PO will let them leave. I know of one local offender here (NC) that had a civil case in Nevada, and the PO would not allow them to leave. The civil case had to be moved back 6 months until the offender was off intensive probation. This offender was denied with good reason though.

I know of another offender right now that is collecting unemployment because he is not able to return to his employment. He is a resident of one county and works in another county about 45min away. Failed drug screens and non-compliance with the PO's directions are major factors when asking for permission to leave especially on intensive. Also DoC is taking it more seriously now too. There was a case here in NC were a man was traveling to SC and killing people there and was on probation. Of course he didn't have permission to leave but situations like that mean the state has to take offenders traveling more serious.

So yes it's usually pretty simple to leave when on probation, but it really does depend on the offenders compliance, attitude, and other factors. The fact that she would be needed for depo's in a high profile murder case too might cause the PO to be hesitant as well.

Certainly not saying that's why JK isn't able to be in Florida though. We don't have enough info to know that.

She is a very far cry from a credible witness and the state will make short order of her. All of her crimes are of dishonesty for the love of God. If the defense searched high and low for a witness with less credibility they would come up empty handed.. All of the hearsay, double hearsay and nonsense is too remote in time and completely irrelevant. I do not see her testifying at the trial, any sooner than Johnny so and so testifying that one Wednesday in junior high gym class he sold Tony his fist joint to prove that Tony is in a drug ring that likely kidnapped the baby. If things I did ten or twenty years ago were held against me now, I'd be ruined. LOL!!!

Thank you. This speaks for itself. Nothing but a distraction to further taint the jury pool. Sorry defense, but this is NOT going to work. "Nuff said".

The defense has every right to check out things that were said by witnesses. For example if Jb ask to see Tl phone records to see if he was indeed on that street where Kc ran out of gas on june 23 near the home, they have every right. Kc may be telling them something different. It doesn't mean that they were checking to see if Tl was where the body was. It doesn't mean they are accusing Tl, it just means they are checking the whole story out. The Le says they checked out Rk, so the defense has every right to check and see if they really did. Hence the deposition of Jk.

The defense is doing their job here and I am glad they are. Let both sides do their job without seeing it as some kind of an evil task. Moo

OF COURSE I want the defense to do their job thoroughly and defend their client well. I would hate for the wrong person to pay for this homicide. That being said, I reviewed all posts on this thread and never once did I see any references to any so-called "evil task". In my opinion, the defense is really grasping at straws.
Respectfully,
Rainy

Here's kind of my issue. It would be one thing to ask TL as an example for phone records that are relevant to the case. However the defense has shown time and time again that they are fishing by asking for phones records that exist outside the realm of this case.

To me I still question the relevance of the JK interview unless the defense has full intention of saying RK murdered and disposed of Caylee. The one problem with that is Casey's testimony, and second that RK had no ties to the Anthony family.

I would also hold JK's statements with a little more weight provided it could be backed up by something/anything. Right now all they are is unconfirmed, not under oath statements made by an individual who may have an agenda and has been convicted of fraud and other various crimes.

RK on the other hand reported an incident to police not once but multiple times. He could have just said well I called and left it at that or not called at all. He informed his employer of his past arrest even though the charges were expunged. Something he was not required to do but did. To me that shows a certain amount of honesty and character.

So to me given that RK does not have ties to the Anthony's, does not drive a silver compact car, is not Hispanic, or match anything remotely in line with Casey's testimony. How is JK's statements relevant to RK finding the body? To me in order for JK's testimony to be relevant the defense would also have to show further evidence that RK is at least a POI or should be considered as one. The defense however hasn't released anything officially to the SA. This video "depo" was released to the media and not the courts.

Now if JK said she once saw RK plant evidence on someone when he was a bounty hunter I would say ok there that's relevant to RK finding the body. Then you could look at the police reports and confirm that yes that particular evidence was found on that fugitive when RK turned them in to authorities.

To me JK's statements are not very useful in this case until such a time as they are given under oath and presented to the SA as evidence in discovery.
So I guess we will see what the official story is with out editing and if it can be used as evidence later. That is when ever the defense decides on a date for trial and a deadline for presenting discovery.

Well, see that's my question too. I have been looking into going to school- my problem is that I am a felon and several areas that I have looked into do background and criminal checks before you can even be accepted into the program. My main interest was nursing and I was not eligible because of my convictions which aren't much different then hers (though I don't know all of her convictions).

Rare as this is, ITA with you. They are just doing what any defense team would do. I'd worry if they didn't do everything they could think of to get her off. At least this is one less issue for her to try to appeal.

FWIW...good luck with trying to pin down the exact street TL was on. I assume you're thinking a nearby tower. Much time has been devoted here to following Casey's pings and not once was a street location pinned down...more like "general area". No, I think this has much more to do with assigning blame...once again. Someone, please wake me up when they've run the gamut.

Sorry for the OT.
