2010.06.09 Prosecutors File for 911 Calls to Come into Trial

[The World According]

State puts weight in mother's 911 calls
11:14 p.m. EDT, July 11, 2010
<snipped>
Beyond the mounds of evidence collected in the Casey Anthony murder case and the volumes of paperwork filed in court, the series of 911 calls Cindy Anthony made nearly two years ago remain central to the case against her daughter.

After all, the calls represent the very genesis of this case. One captures Cindy Anthony's frantic first moments upon learning of her granddaughter's monthlong disappearance. In it, Cindy Anthony also describes the dead body smell in her daughter's car — something she may have to testify about this week.

But most important, according to legal experts and prosecutorial filings, the calls reveal Casey Anthony's earliest "fabrications" of what happened to 2-year-old Caylee Marie. In other words, the calls could help establish what the prosecution considers Casey Anthony's concocted story.

That's why prosecutors want two of the three July 15, 2008, calls admitted at trial. It also explains why defense attorneys have argued to keep the calls out, calling them "hearsay." On Thursday, both arguments will be made during a hearing largely devoted to this issue.

Did Mrs. Drane-Burdick say in the last hearing that Mr. Ashton will be out of town to be in attendance with the defense deposing the OakRidge lab folks?

Does anyone know precisely which depositions were canceled according to the notice that was filed on Friday?

It would be wise of Mr. Cheney to be sure he is indeed rescheduling so that he may be in attendance with Jose when the experts meet for the two days, and of course the important hearing on the 15th.

This splitting up the team is not exactly what the courts had in mind by requiring a dp qualified lawyer to be on her case. The didn't say a part timer. One wouldn't let a surgeon preform half of their surgery and the medical student complete it, right?

THANK YOU SO MUCH KUSHKA!!! I am so glad to know that. I have been livid since Baez shared that little gem about splitting up the team. We don't want to give her anything additional to hang her hat on. It is bad enough that she will rightfully say, he acted for some time on his own, and took depos etc that he was not qualified to take before he brought Andrea on. Also she is sure to claim that he squandered her sizable defense fund, and did not even review the TES records, or take depos of even the LE officers, etc. We sure don't need her to be able to claim that with Jose arguing motions in court, meeting with the experts and taking depositions...alone that effectively she did not have a death penalty qualified lawyer, indeed.

I am glad they canceled the depos. It is clear to me that Jose does have a very limited understanding of what inspecting means, just as he had a poor understanding of the difference between reviewing the TES documents and memorializing them. At least with Mrs. Kenney Baden and or Mr. Mason , they surely have went through this process many, many , many times over the years. It matters!!!

I want her held responsible, no question, but I want her to have a fair trial, for her sake, and all of my good friends I have come to know that are hard working, tax payers in Florida. The cost of trying this case twice would be off the charts. Let's just get it right the first time. Jose is like the little brother who is allowed to go to the park, ONLY if big brother is going too. If big brother has something else to do...little brother will just have to wait for another day.

Here she details the sequence of events. She seems very nervous.

 

[LambChop]

So they have already spoken about the 911 calls at an earlier hearing so why now is defense trying to get it eliminated? Isn't it too late?

The motion to be heard on Thursday goes to the admissibility of the 911 calls being played at trial...in front of the jury.


Wow. She does seem a nervous wreck during the bond hearing clip.

Thank God for Mrs. Drane-Burdick, she knows her stuff!!!

She takes the defense to school. Often.

Watch Andrea, she literally hides her face from the light. You just can't make this stuff up!

Is Casey catching on here that Jose is no match for these prosecutors? Watch Mr. Ashton, the look on his face is come on...for the love of God...get serious Baez.

The Defense filed a Supplemental Memorandum Regarding Admissibility of 911 Calls today.

Still going after the excited utterance angle!

OK, I'm not sure where they think they got the right to file another memorandum on this issue, but this one is MUCH better researched and written--except for the part where they breeze past the SA's argument about showing Casey's state of mind and the context in which she invented her nanny story. It almost seems as though someone who has read the rules of evidence and has access to an online legal research service wrote this one. :waitasec:

ETA: I still think the SA has the better argument lol.

And they say that George and Cindy had no predicate for knowing the smell of a decomposing body??!!
Uh huulooo! George was previously law enforcement and Cindy is/was a nurse!
They want the statements about the "smell" redacted??!!

In the video on the page it states that the Oak Ridge depositions have been canceled.

I asked Kathi B about the evidence inspection and Oak Ridge Lab personnel depositions - I asked who was there and if the depositions were canceled.

Kathi replied: "The Oak Ridge depos were moved then canceled.
Prosecutors Linda B and Jeff A are with the Defense, as well as Detective Yuri Melich."

They have GA on tape in a sworn LE interview admitting he knows that smell and saying he was praying 'please don't let this be my Caylee" when he opened the trunk. He worked homicide. Any court in the land would concider him as acceptable for positively identifying that smell.

Cindy I will concede less so. While as a nurse she has probably had some exposure to it, it really is not a smell you tend to encounter in a clinical or hospital setting. At least not in its rawest most harsh form.

Reading the last attempt (motion ) at destroying the 911 calls, I recall seeing the point made by Cheney that the average citizen, when police do not respond to their liking, will make up a story to get the police there faster. It's a normal thing to do. It's not what I would do.

 

[I Din Doot]

Muzikman, Just read your new posts on the motions thread.(good read). Obvious that Baez did not write the motion and the other motion just confirms what a class act Nejame is.

I think the defense has still missed the point that the SA is only trying to show the progression (invention) of the Zanny story and nothing more. HJP and JA will provide some schooling for the defense IMO.

That "schooling" also comes with complimentary transportation via bus.

In the second call CA is somewhat calm and can answer the questions down to what KC is wearing. Now if you were frantic would you not be screaming "What difference does it make what damn clothes my daughter's wearing I'm reporting a missing 3 year old." But CA does not say that.

In the third call after CA finds out the babysitter was supposed to have taken her CA is so frantic she constantly talks over the operator. So are we to believe that not only was CA telling a lie, excuse me "mistruth" to get the police out there faster but also was adding some real life, absolutely believable drama into the mix. I could be wrong but she really sounded frantic, and out of control in the third call. If CA had been trying out for a part in a movie I do believe she would have gotten the part because she has sold me. jmo

2010.07.14 Defense Supplemental Memo Regarding Admissibility of Contents from 911 Calls
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/46994833...from-911-Calls

In this motion the defense says there is no reason anyone should believe that Cindy Anthony has ever smelled a dead body. Please guys help me find the part in Cindy's sworn statement, videotaped, to LE where she tells them SHE HAS SMELLED DEAD BODIES, AND SHE HAS SMELLED ROTTING FLESH.

The defense is apparently unaware of this statement she made under oath!!

I found it: Cindy Anthony
