Casey To Serve One Year Probation

[RR0004]

No, she was not convicted of any crimes against a child. I wish it could be added.

After yesterday's report, I don't think Casey will have that option.

Do they offer assistance in "how" to get a job...kinda like a job coach?

I dunno. I would think they would try to assist you. That is after all what probation is supposed to do. Help you stay on the straight and narrow and help you integrate back into society.

 

[Dignity4Victims]

As a result of mistakes made one night, I was arrested, charged, found guilty of dui, and sentenced to among other things, one year probation. I was completely guilty and assume all responsibilty. The year of probation was NO BIG DEAL.

At most a minor inconvience of having to report to my po for 30 minutes once a month for the first 9 months, and after that mailing in the forms for the final 3.

I traveled out of state every other weekend for 4 of the months, and never had a problem getting a travel pass. These travels were of pleeasure trips, I could fill out the forms a month at a time. All I had to do was list why I was going there (I live(d) in Florida, and had (have) seasons tickets to the Dallas Cowboys, and went to most their games, home and away, how I would be getting there, and where I would be staying. I was never denied a travel permit. I did not work, nor did I have any verifiable income in the state of Florida.

The biggest pain? The $20 I had to pay each month had to be in the form of a money order - I had to stop some where and get 12 of them.

This will be a big deal to Casey Anthony who thinks she's above the law and hates having to take orders or live by a given set of rules.

When she was in jail, all she had to do was vegetate, no demands put on her other than breathe air. This probation order is actually some sense of given structure that she is ordered to follow; meeting requirements.

Casey, like Cindy, thinks no one should be able to dictate to her. Wrong!

Well, every time I have had a court appearance for anything, my attorney has walked out with me, and I have ridden back to his office with him, and we parted ways there. Doesn't mean he either adopted me, or kicked me to the curb, it was just professional courtesy. It was part of his job.

As far as I recall, all we know is the waiting DT SUV took her to Mason, her attorneys office. Is there any proof the DT took her any where else after that?

..it may be true that they are NOT responsible for her---she IS an adult after all----but who else does she have?

..she walked out of jail with baez , into the waiting DT SUV and they whisked off to who knows where.

..they didn't adopt her-----but--at the moment (IMO) they ARE stuck with her.
( unless they kick her to the curb---which i don't believe they will.)

..and i can't think of a better payback personally to the "get out of jail free" verdict-------here you go DT------you "won"----she's all yours.

Not quite sure which part of Florida you served your probation in or in what year but I can tell you that it's not the way you are describing any longer. She will have to report for her full 12 months. She will wait in the probation office's waiting room for as long as they want to make her wait every month, she will become gainfully employed irregardless of whether she's in school or not, she will pay up to $50 a month since she had her own attorney ($35-40 if she had a public defender), she will be subjected to random drug testing at any given time, she will have her probation officer check in with her at random times without notice, she will be required to have a working phone whether cell or landline because they can and will call her at any given hour that they so choose. These are just a few of the requirements that she will have to meet courtesy of the Florida Department of Corrections. She will have to ask permission from her probation officer to leave the county and provided she has made her monthly payment, they can allow her to go. If she hasn't made her payment for the month, she will not be allowed to go unless the probation officer's supervisor agrees to it. If she wishes to move, it has to be approved by not only her probation officer but the supervisor of that office in addition to the approval of the probation officer and supervisor in the other county. They can and will violate you if you fail to follow their rules. If she thinks she's going in there and it's going to be a walk in the park, she's got another thing coming. They have seen it and heard it all, and you can bet they can and will make your life miserable if they choose too.

Excellent information. Thanks. Certainly answers MissJames' question : "But,if this is no big deal ,why is Casey and her DT team fighting it?"

 

[Truthwillsetufree]

Great, Fabulous!!!!!
I am pleased to read that for once FICA is going to be held accountable for her inexcusable behavior albeit the probation is only for one year. A person as unusual as FICA will have difficulty meeting the demands of probation as it has been proven that she is not trustworthy and lacks the will work. JMO.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Wonder what kind of "employment" she will have.

 

[askfornina]

If that's true, we need much tougher sentences. It should be a big deal . Part of the justice system is to be a deterrent for future illegal acts,especially those that put innocent bystanders at risk. DUI is a big deal and the sentence should be a big deal.

But,if this is no big deal ,why is Casey and her DT team fighting it? :waitasec:

but prison is the punishment. probation is a small attempt at rehabilitation into society. prison is supposed to be the "deterrent." (it isn't imo. look how many people are in prison.) but this is an entirely different discussion and ot so.

at first i thought she shouldn't serve this because of double jeopardy, but since it is apparently not i think HHJP made the right decision. i think it's unrealistic to expect that her location isn't going to be figured out. also, what company in orlando (or anywhere) is going to hire her? honestly. i guess we shall see, unless casey magically becomes not "news" in the near future.

Yep - as I recall, she tried to get out of going to her days in court for hearings, but HHSS wouldn't allow it.

She did have a hissy fit and had court cancelled for the day a couple of times.

[Meri]

I do not recall her making a fuss about it at all. All I have seen is her doing what the doc told her to do, and then waiting for the court to make up their mind officially what she should do. This screw up wasn't her fault.

When I say "making a fuss" I am including her defense team in that. Certainly, if she wanted, she could tell them she would just do the probation, no big deal. They can't make her go along with them on everything.

 

[cyberborg]

Right - and she could have taken the test in jail or since she's been out. I bet she could have passed it. She was only 1/2 credit or so short, and wasn't it a PE credit?

I know some kids who passed the GED test at age 16 after their sophomore year in HS.

She doesn't seem to have a lot of ambition. As someone said, if she'd put as much work into her education and/or a real job as she did into just making people think she had a job, she might have actually accomplished something.

.

So true.

FCA worked hard with her lying -- fake job, fake nanny and, fake friends ... She could have invested all of that energy into something positive and still partied and enjoyed life.

You can feel good because you accomplished something good or ... You can feel cocky you are such a good liar and fooled yet another victim. They track towards vastly different outcomes ... FCA does not get life, it's rewards or ... How giving can be so much more fulfilling than stealing ...

 

[rossva]

And imaginery boycotts.

A job for Casey? How about as a writer? For an imaginary book deal. For an imaginary payday.

A place to call home? She can call JB's place her home. And JB as the imaginary landlord. Who she pays imaginary rent to. All the time while Casey is taking REAL note of every check that goes through his place.

ay yi yi - tardy to the party... (working all day) but I did check up here

as a naysayer let me place my order:

Garcon, Crow please, with a side of humble pie - and a large soupcon of relish, it you will.

Happy to indulge.

Do we know that she was only 1/2 credit short as a real fact or Anthony information?

Agree on the ambition thing.

 

[rossva]

No, did not graduate. She ended one half credit short of getting her diploma.

Has she ever finished HS?

Excellent post. I have a question. If FCA is allowed to move to another state,will the Florida probation rules still apply or would the state of residence rules apply? What if the state is broke (like California)and they have no money for a good program?

 

[cyberborg]

Maybe for the one year probation FCA could be housed in protective custody with her peers at the jail? - she was always better off in jail and could get an education and work a job. Prison General population has the same issues as being out ... Folks none too happy with the felon.

 

[What'sThatClue]

Well, her parents deny she's coming home. And ML alludes later in the story to Casey serving probation out of state:

In response to Perry's ruling, George and Cindy Anthony's attorney, Mark Lippman, released a statement on their behalf.

Lippman said there has been speculation as to whether Casey Anthony will return to her parents' house on Suburban Drive for her probation, which has led to an increase in spectator traffic outside the home.

The Anthonys said their daughter will not be returning to the house, no arrangements have been coordinated to have her return and the probation office hasn't contacted Lippman or the Anthonys regarding verification of home address for the probation.

[dizzychick]

No one on TV has said IF FCA breaks her probation..what would the sentence be? What was the max for the charges she was convicted of? would it be all 13 or just the 4? wondering what the total time could be given for a violation...anyone?

BTW, so very happy with the decision...Judge Perry should run for President!!!

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Worse! ... It was her attorney's for thinking they were getting away with another thing ... Backfired. Way to go JB. Maybe some honesty would be a good policy?

Just jumping off your post, cyberborg.. because I wanted to tell you hello. LTNS!:seeya:

Judge Perry doesn't do anything without basing it on the law. Oral judgments rendered by a Judge always takes precedence over a scripters transcription.

It has been said that the majority of the courts in Florida recognize the oral words said over the written words transcribed. So imo, Judge Perry did the right thing according to the laws of his state.

Every T/H that has spoken out said Judge Perry's ruling will not be overturned. He isn't the 9th District Chief Judge for nothing. He knows exactly what he is doing and he always bases his rulings on the law. He upheld Judge Strickland's order because it was the right thing to do. Judge Strickland's intents were clear as a bell.

What he could not do is set a precedence when it came to Casey Anthony. No one does probation while in jail. If he had let this erroneous probation stand it would open a huge can of worms with other inmates wanting to do the same. He cannot favor one felon over another one.

Imo, Baez:loser: needs to be reported to the bar for unethical behavior. He tried to pull a fast one and it came back to haunt him and his client.

IMO
