S.A. Concerned Defense will Sell Pics of Caylee's Remains

[tehcloser]

Well if they did a second autopsy today....guess they have their own pics now....perhaps that is why they did it today. Can the judge rule on Baezs pics too?

Excellent Analysis!

IMHO I think the LE must have a very weak, circumstantial case against KC. That became evident to me when they went back into the house and removed more items (mostly clothing) from KC's room. If they were looking for fiber evidence, they didn''t find it in the first batch of stuff they took out.

I have found it very odd and scary they way LE has released the VOLUMES of documents designed to prejudice the public against KC. I find it very odd and scary the way they are trying to hold back and/or delay the release of evidence that the defense is entitled to. Why?

I want to see a person convicted of the crime they commit as well as anyone else does. But I want to see it done fairly and based on sound evidence from honest police work.

SOMEONE "close to the investigation" is releasing/inferring a lot of misleading information designed to inflame the public and it is working! Just look at the frenzy on so many message boards. My question again is why do they feel the need to do this for this particular case? It has my hinky meter hitting the top of the scale!

As always, JMHO.

I totally agree.

I don't understand why Baez has to file motions to get all of this info? I am not that crazy about him but why isn't the prosecution releasing this info to him? Why are they dragging their feet on everything. That doesn't seem right to me and it doesn't seem right that JB has to file a motion for every single thing. He is entitled to all of it as soon as the prosecution has results. Shame on the prosecution for holding back all this stuff.

He doesn't have too. He could just wait till SA give it to him. He is wanting it ahead of SA's schedule/plans to release it. He doesn't have to file for every single thing. He does and wants to for the publicity and for creating the very assumption you have come to.

Not shame on preosecution at all. Good for them in not giving up all too early.

I don't think the prosecution is holding back evidence at all. I believe the FBI is holding much of the evidence and LE does not have the authority to release it without the FBI signing off on it.

I agree............he is trying to set it up in the press like they are not giving it to him as they should, when they are not required to give him anything which is still under investigation. He wants to know what they are investigating.

A judge can rule on ANY pictures pertaining to a minor.

I hate to say anything because I hope KC spends the rest of her life in prison but the DAs office already charged KC with murder 1 and should have been prepared to go to trial when the charged her. The defense was entitled to a speedy trial (I don't even know that they have waived that right yet???) and they should be able to get the info as soon as results are back. They have a big defense to be put on. Of course they want to know what they are dealing with.

If these things are still being investigated, it is my understanding that it doesn't have to be turned over yet.

I agree there is no shame on the Prosecution here. I get tired of seeing them bashed. They are safeguarding the case. The Prosecution, along with LE and the FBI are little Caylee's voice. Why in this world would they jeopardize their case by not following the rules? THEY WOULD NOT, IMO.

My respect and trust is with LE, the FBI, and the Prosecutors who are trying to prosecute the murder case of an innocent child. I just do not understand why some people are so against them.

GB the LE Detectives, LE, CSI, FBI, and the Prosecutors! They have my undying respect, admiration, and gratitude!

Yes, Baez does want to know what LE and the SA's office are investigating. He also wants everything handed to him on a platter and is rather lazy about doing his own legwork.

This motion has nothing to do with chain of custody, it has to do with disclosure of evidence to the defense.

They did waive the right to a speedy trial. Within a few days of the remains being found IIRC.

ETA - Within a few days up to the morning the remains were found.

I saw that. I would have to say, of all the items in the list, this is the one I would most like to see.

This motion has nothing to do with chain of custody, it has to do with disclosure of evidence to the defense.

When the state made a motion to prevent the defense from mailing the photos and reports out of state they are basically asking them to abide by a code much like the chain of evidence much like the state has to abide by.

 

[WholeLottaRosie]

I don't believe the defense is supposed to be required to file a motion for every individual piece of discovery. :waitasec:

They aren't supposed to have to. They get discovery as prosecution is ready to release it. It seems that JB files for each piece to get publicity and to make it seem like prosecution is not doing the right thing. They (SA) are doing the right thing and generally there is no time limit (or not much - they can't just give it the last few days before trial for example) and the SA does not have to release things that are still under active investigation. Regarding JB's most recent list, we don't know that any of that isn't still under investigation.

 

[PoppyH]

What could the prosecution still be investigating that would keep them from turning over old interviews, DNA results, search warrants, etc?

Ya got me on those issues, but apparently there is a reason they have not released them yet, guess we will find out soon enough

 

[amethyst221]

This case is so confusing because of all the things that get released to the media/the public under the Sunshine laws, totally outside the rules of discovery applicable to the criminal case. They seem really liberal, but with some exceptions for LE in ongoing investigations to hold things back. The state probably can't hold these same things back from "real discovery." I can never tell if they are footdragging or late, because the court inevitably responds to the motions by the defense by noting that they're premature, but he'll grant them with a certain timetable for the state.

The State is not obligated to hand over anything until the defense asks for it. The judge has made it quite apparent that JB should not expect the State to do his work for him and he must follow procedure in requesting items.

Thank you, this was my understanding also.

Perhaps one of our lawyer friends could help us, but I don't believe that's true. The prosecution is required to turn over everything they intend to use at trail, in a timely manner. How can the defense be expected to ask for things that they may not know exist?
