Dominic Casey: Motion to Strike Notice of Deposition & Motion for Protective Order#1

[Nore]

Respectfully Trisha? Isn't Cassadaga (the community in which she mentioned) in New York. I have been there a few times. It is a gated community. ETA: I mean no disrespect. There could be another one.

----------------------
There is also a Cassadaga Fla..It is up around the Daytona area I believe. It is the same type community as the one in N.Y..

OK, I have no idea why this post is in this thread - must have been something I missed. But to answer the question: There is a Cassadage about 35 miles north of Orlando. It is an interesting little town - I have been there a few times. It is was started as a community for spiritualists, etc. and still is to this day. Worth a visit just for the history and the 'aura' of the area.

The only interview I remember Dominic giving is the one w/ J. Allen & others.
I don't remember if they rescheduled his depo that was cancelled in Dec of '09 but I could've just missed it...

The SA had a scheduled secret investigative deposition with him which was approved by JS, in December, which the defense was not allowed to attend.
(Remember the fuss about Baez saying he was going to add him to his witness list so he could attend, then thought better of it and changed his mind).

As it was a secret investigative deposition, it seems natural to me that we have not seen that testimony released under the Sunshine Laws. Because we haven't seen it doesn't mean we should assume it hasn't been done.

I find it very interesting that Baez decided not to put DC on his witness list. You'd think he would be one of his best witnesses to prove SODDI because he could say we searched there and she wasn't there -- UNLESS there was something really hinky about those searches (which we all know there was) and Baez knows that DC will turn State's witness. I know I haven't said anything new here, but just thinking about the possibilities of what DC could tell us gets me all excited. Darn! I wish we could read that investigative deposition!

Has anyone heard anything new about where Dominic is and what he is up to these days?

Wow! This is the first time I'd seen this interview! First, I've never seen them do an interview that CA was not in control & the one who answered 99% of the questions asked! Second, she had "that look", you know, the look that ppl have after receiving news of the loss of a loved one!

There's not a doubt in my mind that CA had been told that Caylee was indeed dead. I know the look & the feeling, you've been told, you've cried until you can't seem to cry anymore, you're heart just hurts, you continue to try to function but you have that "zombie feeling" & what I'd describing is NOT from medication....it's just how it makes you feel, it drains everything from you.

The news that DC had apparently shared with CA had not been shared with GA. You're right, CA, MB knew but GA did not....he was still, well GA. I would love to know how close in proximity the dates correspond with each other...the day of the meet/greet vs the day this interview was given. If someone already knows the answer, that'd be great, if not I'll check into it and post!

TIA

I completely agree. What has MB ever done? Why & How does she keep inserting herself in these situations? Just from the interview she gave it was (IMO) quite evident she lacked the expertise to play the family spokesperson. As for George, he knew earlier than Cindy (IMO). 1. He smelled the car, 2. He was quite aware of the home situation and 3. His friend, the retired cop from Ohio confirmed to George that first evening who held all the answers. The problem is that Cindy pulled George off of KC and put him in his place. Did George ever step foot out once and help in searching for his granddaughter? He did take the battery out of the car.:furious: He just didn't have time to call LE. (IMO)

Yes, Baez backed out quite quickly as there was a little problem of when Dom worked for who and when was all that exactly. And the issue of Baez telling him if he found a body not to call LE - that cross examination by LE would have been very very uncomfortable for Baez. No way he would willingly open that door.

 

[Novice Seeker]

I do not believe Dominic is scared at all. He wants the truth to come out. He claimed to be talking to Ginnette Lucas and no one believed him. But that was the truth. He will be vindicated on these other accusations as well.

It just seems that if DC was never scared why didn't he sit for a deposition when asked? Why did he refuse to disclose the number of phones he carries? In the documents the SA was given from the A's why isn't there more focus on DC's part on actually searching for Caylee? During the interview he did give to LE, BC was there( :waitasec:conflict of interest) and DC couldn't get his contract dates straight which in of itself seems like there were ethical boundaries crossed along with even more potential problems with conflict of interest. It's taking the SA to obtain a court order to even attempt taking his deposition. Who knows maybe it is a feeling of being scared but more like a sense of reality.(IMO)

I haven't heard about him. I guess he's still in semi-hiding. But his lawyer, Dianna Tennis (if she is still his lawyer), made some comments about Judge Perry. It was posted in the Judge Perry thread, I believe. She thinks he's going to be strict. I wonder if this new judge is making Dom more nervous...

Yes they do, thats weird huh. They call the community "Lillydale" and persons that live there do readings and those types of things from the home. It is a gated community during visting season you pay an admission at the gate. There are spirtualist, mediums and psychic, tarot card readers. It is located in Cassadaga New York.

I only commented because I was concerned that it was the wrong state, the odds were against having another community just like it in another state and I didn't want people to look it up and not find it. So I appoligise for the confusion and thank you for your clarification and information!

I read one of the news articles that Angelwhocares posted today, that said the document dump tomorrow was supposed to contain a few interviews....Could it be Dom Casey's?

God, I hope so. Best Friday EVER if his interview is in there. Bonus points if Mallory's is there too!

 

[LambChop]

If DC did give his deposition and there were statements in there that required an investigation that may be why we have not seen it yet. LE could be still trying to track down the extra "bat" phone information. JMO

Does the recent (May 7, 2010) departure of Dominic's attorney, Diana Tennis, indicate that he HAS given the State some type of depo, and it has not been released to the public (yet)???

THANK YOU MuzikMan for getting this document for us!
The attorney says she has finished her obligation under the contract.
Interesting that Ms Tennis has attended several of the recent Hearings on Casey's murder case.

05/07/2010 Notice of Conclusion - Diana Tennis
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/38690284/05072010-Notice-of-Conclusion---Diana-Tennis

Interesting that this lawyer wrote an incorrect mailing address for her former client, in this Notice.
She wrote his OLD business address, which he has moved out of. He is not renting that space.
Dominic's own website lists a P.O. Box address. http://dgator.com/contactus.aspx

Atty Tennis had previously filed a Motion to Strike his depo - October 16, 2009
http://www.cfnews13.com/uploadedFil...eposition and Motion for Protective Order.pdf

Motion dated Oct 16, 2009 [not filed until Dec. 10, 2009 - depo was originally scheduled for Nov 12, 2009, but was rescheduled for Dec. 16, 2009]

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/19477476/Notice-of-Cancellation-of-Depo---Dominic-Casey
The Dec. 16, 2009 depo got cancelled - 12/14/2009 Notice of Cancellation
Cancellation of Deposition prev scheduled for 12/16/09 @1:30pm
The Dec. 16, 2009 depo was canceled but December 15th Judge S said that Dominic must sit for an investigative interview with the State, in which Defense could not be present, unless Defense certified Dominic as a Defense witness, then a regular depo would be scheduled.

Dominic hastily moved out of his rented office space and his home is in foreclosure (still an active case – been going on for more than a year). Wonder why he canceled his foreclosure meeting scheduled for Feb 19, 2010? He canceled that meeting a month before. He has several inactive corporations in his name, including Wekiwa Holdings - inactive as of September 25, 2009. He just recently also closed a FOUNDATION – September 25, 2009, Christina’s New Heart Foundation, which he was the only “Officer” of.

Foreclosure is still active and open - latest entry May 11, 2010 - related to discovery requests

Thanks for posting such comprehensive information ThinkTank. When I saw the withdrawal motion, I thought hmm - that will strike up some action on the threads, but it's all been about the aggravators.

My first thought was - oh I guess he's given his deposition and she got him an immunity deal. Then second - wonder if he's being completely uncooperative and she's given up. Third - wonder if he doesn't have the money to pay her to represent him.

But not one answer in my brain! I'm not sure why he is such a well kept secret in the case. Is it because he is completely unimportant and slunk off in to obscurity, or is he so important the SA are keeping him completely under wraps?

 

[beach]

Thanks ThinkTank! I just saw where MM posted Dianna Tennis' Notice of Conclusion on the Motion's thread and thought - "Well now...isn't THAT interesting."


LG, I think if Dominic had just totally refused to cooperate, Ms. Tennis would be filing a motion to withdraw.

I'm heading over to the Atty. thread to get some clarity on this notice.

 

[ThinkTank]

I have the feeling that Dominic has decided to use a different attorney for future representation, and Ms. Tennis is just letting the Court and attorneys know that she is no longer representing him, so they will not send correspondence to her. They want to tie up any lose ends, so Dominic can move forward with a new attorney, maybe.

We have to wait and see if another attorney files a "Notice of Appearance" to let the Court know that they are now representing Dominic. Surely he will want to have a lawyer by his side if/when he is called as a witness in the murder trial?

I personally believe that Ms. Tennis "MIGHT" be in some jeopardy for submitting false statements to the Court in the civil case and in the murder case ...... Just my opinion and speculation ....

That makes two of us. I just do not get all of the secrecy. Could he know some very valuable first hand info of some kind?!

Diane Tennis filed a Notice of Conclusion

I noticed she has been in the last few hearings. Does anyone know why and who is Dom's new lawyer, if anyone? Once he did his depo with the state was her work concluded and he no longer requires counsel? I sure would love to read the transcript of his sworn statements to the prosecutors!

I've noticed her attending hearings and is suddenly one of the talking legal heads quoted regarding hearings, which to me is unusual considering her involvement with Dom. Several times I've read stations quoting both Tennis and our own Hornsby. Now I understood asking Hornsby for a comment, because he is independent and has not been directly involved in the case, but reading one from Tennis definitely made me think hmmm. :waitasec:
And she has been at a couple of hearings - so what's up? It could very well be that Dom has been uncooperative and she has stepped away from the situation or is concerned about submitting false information as questioned above in the thread.

Is this her right behind the prosecutors at Casey's indictment, too? Yes, she has opined on this case on the cable shows as well, before she represented Dom. In one instance she opined that the defense absolutely should go with a diminished capacity ( paraphrasing ) defense. Oh my
