Defense files motion to have 911 calls, party pix tossed

[ynotdivein]

Of particular note.........in a brief review.......That CA's boss's statement 9Charles C) that CA told him that "KC worked at Universal" is being listed as hearsay.

So are we now trying to eliminate all references to KC's job???

Oh gosh, I was kidding when I suggested that they might try to eliminate her own written statement that she "proceeded to head to" her place of employ... Quick, someone tell me they can't move to exclude defendant's own written statement! And then I will quietly join Aedrys in the cocktail corner...

ETA: The compiled chart of what they want to exclude is extremely telling. Holy guacamole. Muzikman, you are a bowl of chili with cheese AND Fritos!

Another quick observation. The defense is in need of a refresher course pertaining to the definition of hearsay. Let's pay close attention to the comments and topics that the A family "ran with" earlier in the case...but are now trying to attribute to hearsay.

Read...Grund......My initial opinion is that the defense purposely included those comments in an attempt to show good faith for when they eventually get sued for libel and slander. BUT....that's JMO.

I can't wait to see the SA's response to these motions. I'm sure they will make short work of them. Hopefully, Judge S will mention something about how JB is asking for the state of FL to cover the defense expenses and then files motions such as these. Surely JB won't be allowed to waste taxpayer money in such a ridiculous fashion.

Very good point!!!! :clap:

I'm afraid I will have to read through them when my eyes aren't so tired!

This is when it gets really frustrating to people with no legal background. Imagine evidence being too prejudicial one way or another. Just the idea that the truth will be manipulated and sanitized makes me ill.
I`m trying to imagine if we negotiated test results with the family in Hospital and were forbidden to read the MRI or blood values because they were too prejudicial in pointing at the correct diagnosis. lts mind blowing!!
Why would the judge rule that comments regarding KC lying were inadmissable when after knowing about her for a few days he himself commented that the truth and KC were strangers? He knows those comments to be true.
Sorry I`ll go back to reading and being frustrated quietly now. :banghead:

Second time through... page 11... line about Cindy saying "it smelled like a dead body in the car" highlighted (by whom?)...

Specifically discussed the 911 call. Notes that because Cindy was aware that Caylee had been out of the house for 31 days already...that she was not reporting an issue of an emergency nature but instead attempting to stimulate an investigation. Additionally indicate "that the primary purpose was to establish or prove past events that could be potentially relevant to a later criminal prosecution as opposed to responding to an emergency, making it testimonial."

Asking that the SA PROVE excited utterance.

Cites the length of time between CA 911 calls and saying that she had time to compose herself.

Cites the 8th amendment requiring a heightened sense of reliability in a Capital case addressing hearsay ( ummmmm pot, kettle, Mort, Kerley.....)

 

[Muzikman]

Skimming thru this, I think the Motion to Exclude Hearsay, Gossip & Innuendo deserves a thread of it's own, requesting legal opinions as to it's validity. I'm gonna start one....

 

[magiemay]

Have only read a small portion of all of this but am I understanding that we can throw out all comments made by Casey Anthony's parents characterize her as a liar and a thief. As well as those of friends who comments made characterize her as a liar and a thief. But we are to take the word RK's exwife JK and let it cast him as a suspect?? Just think there is a slight problem with this method of thinking...

 

[watcher9]

Thanks Muzikman!!! Your are the best.

snipped from article

The defense is also asking the judge to prevent a jury from hearing Anthony's mother's frantic calls to 911 reporting Caylee missing and from seeing certain witness statements made by Anthony's parents, friends and detectives.

In the 911 call made by Cindy Anthony, the grandmother tells a dispatcher she wants her daughter arrested.

Other comments made by Casey Anthony's parents characterize her as a liar and a thief."

So they are also trying to get CERTAIN witness statements thrown out...hmmm I wonder who's and what statements exactly they want thrown out...Can't wait to read that motion.

I don't think the 911 calls will be thrown out.
And in regards to the party pics...as I would love to see them all shown to a jury.. I would hope the Judge allows the ones taken and posted to her Facebook etc...during the time Caylee went missing to be kept in.

I especially would like to know which statements from which detectives they are afraid of and want to have thrown out?

Does it strike anyone else as odd that after they sold photos of Caylee to fund their entire defense, they are now objecting to photos of Casey partying as not being material? karma?

 

[cuppy199]

Was just on Local 6... must've filed this motion after I left today dammit!

http://www.clickorlando.com/news/22777421/detail.html


Do they really think they'll get the 911 calls thrown out because Cindy was "Speculating" about a dead body?

I could see the party pix being tossed possibly, but not the 911 calls.


ETA - CFNews 13 has 72 pages (of 124, I think) up - http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2010/3/8/casey_trail_date_set.html

.

Yea sure JB we can throw out the 911 calls and the pictures and the others as you requested right after the jury hears and see them

:martini: Here you go friend.

You mean.....uh we can't unring the bell?

 

[kew17]

I'm right there with ya'll about the pot...kettle/goose...gander issue. Kerley's depo will be for not if these are the standards JB wants to play by. Gheez! So if no prejudicial hearsay is allowed JB, I suppose we can just toss your Kronk ideas or your latest bus victim, no? These photos and 911 tapes have been all over the media for 2 years, I seriously don't think JS will throw them.

Hell, I haven't even read them yet! Just found'em, downloaded and logged in to post the link.

I'm greedy, didn't want the link to slow before I got'em. :crazy:

perhaps the sa should ask that baez not bring any loving mother daughter pictures to court either, if thats the case

Through the media, especially the internet, the public has been inundated with these images and the unfair characterization of Miss Anthony. Through the internet and television media, Miss Anthony's reputation, intelligence, chastity, and fitness as a mother, have been attacked by news pundits and members of the general media relying on these photos, creating an immense bias against her in the minds of potential jurors.

The photographs at issue in this case depict miss Anthony drinking alcohol, wearing revealing clothing, and dancing on stages at nightclubs. They also depict her in close contact with a number of different men and women as she dances.

Their only value is to paint a picture to the jury of an irresponsible, drunken, promiscuous, and wild defendant.

Photographs would have the effect of painting Miss Anthony as a careless, irresponsible, promiscuous, and possibly bisexual partier..........

Miss Anthony is so notorious...........

Would you be a dear and give us a synopsis??? :innocent:

I'm not MM, but I do speak a little Baez. If you'll allow me:

Blah blah blah blah whine blah blah whine moan groan whine whimper blah blah blah.

Rinse and repeat.
