I've been where you are at.On that point I am convinced. I'm still of the opinion though, that the whole Rk portion of this case is a little hinky. I still think there may be opportunities for the defense with RK.
None of what you've written here provides evidence that Casey committed a premeditated murder. If you add all the evidence that Mr. Kronk brings to the State's party, there is still insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the State's murder one charge, and no conviction on the murder one charge, means no conviction for murder.
HTH
I agree. It was an extreme misfortune that so much time went by without finding Caylee. I believe that had she been found sooner it would have to bode well for the prosecution.
Where do you put KC in this whole fiasco? If what you've been saying holds up? -- that means lots of young mothers will just happen to "lose" the babies they don't want with no accountability. I don't get how you are getting past the non existent nanny, not reporting her daughter missing, lying to police and the dead body smell in the car, I could go on and on but won't. I just can't figure how you get to doubt. We know it was a dead body smell by the simple fact that her daughter turned up dead and several people testified that's what it was in their opinion. So by simple deduction = Caylee. Unless you have a theory about a different dead body in her trunk that I'm unaware of. Just so I understand you, are you saying you believe the smell wasn't from Caylee?
:furious:

MOO
We haven't seen them yet,but supposedly they were released to the defense more than a week ago ,I believe.Someone correct me if I'm wrong . Hopefully they will be released to the media soon. The ME describes some of the plant evidence.If the botonists and entemologists have presented accepted evidence that the remains had been in the spot they were found in for at least 4 months, then the defense will not be able to question along these lines. Are these in the evidence docs somewhere, I have not seen them?
I remember that,and also that Lee tried to imply TonE was lying. But when you add it to all of KC's other stories it will be obvious who the lier is.I wonder what everyone thinks about Lee's depo where he recounts that Casey told him she had Tony help her remove two dead squirrel from her engine area of the Pontiac. There is no reason for her coming up with all of these detailed lies about animals decomposing in her car, other than she knew that smell was so very very distinct she had to say something died there. In case anyone missed that part of his depo, he added that Tony said no way, never happened. This makes Kronk peripheral to the story.The jury can believe him or not, I do not think it changes the overall decision.
You forget, however, defense attorneys won't be sitting on the jury. There will be no fast talking, smoke and mirrors, or 3 card monty going on in the jury room. Just regular folks that hate seeing 2 year olds being thrown out in black plastic trash bags 20 houses away from her mother's home while her mother "parTAYs" down not giving a toss about said child's whereabouts for 31 days.
yes it is in the thread.I have not read this entire thread..I was wondering if Kronk's recent FIRING has been discussed? I saw something about it somewhere (on YouTube, I think) --I am surprised that it is not being discussed. Seems like big news.

My understanding has been that the area was searched by cadaver dogs. Here's one link.

Moreover, I have it in my notes that Caylee's remains were, perhaps, but 15 feet from the road. However, that 'perhaps' is just that. I have yet to hear or read a reliable source that would well corroborate that distance to be true.
Hurricane Faye hit this area of Florida with rain on August 18, almost a full 30 days after the search in that area began.

Topic=Kronk
Guys we are just exploring the possibility of this impacting the trial and Kronks information. Those that think this topic is done or is of little importance, or if this topic is upsetting to you,please go to another thread. thanks.
ETA: ALSO other posters should never be the topic of your posts. If anyone is discussing another poster in their post please self edit now so i don't have to.
Can we explore RK's past? Of course, he found the remains of a missing child. Upon a brief exploration of his past, we find he was once indicted for kidnapping. As stated by others, the evidence in getting an indictment must have been compelling. But that charge was expunged. Yes, but the verdict in the OJ trial was not guilty, does that mean you are absolutely sure OJ didn't do it? Roy Kronk, once indicted for kidnapping, found the remains of a missing child. After 3 calls were made a police officer met with Kronk at the site of the remains, but the officer saw nothing. Rk became angry with the officer, then waited 4 months to once again look for the bag that he was 99.999 percent sure contained a human skull. SIDE NOTE A perp often revisits the scene of a crime, and kidnappers often insert themselves into a search for the child they themselves kidnapped (no accusations here, just a couple things I believe to be true). There are many irregularities in RK's statements to police. RK was way behind on his child support payments. Rk sold a picture of the rattlesnake. RK appeared on national t.v. For a person who claimed he wanted to remain anonymous, and wasn't looking for a reward, these actions seem odd to me. Considering the totality of the above, it is my opinion that it is the defense's duty to explore RK thoroughly and pursue the answer to the question; How could Roy Kronk see what no one else could see?

I trust LE...to my knowledge that specific area was not searched. I don't generally put stock in a blog. It will be interesting to see/hear OCSO's version.
(Note: At the 2:00 time stamp of this news video...)
IIRC this search was in the area of Hidden Oaks Elementary, on August 5, 2008, and it was based on the tip from Kiomarie Cruz. I am not sure how extensive the search was or whether it included the area where Caylee's remains were found but it was based on the 'pet burial' info from Kiomarie.
YouTube - Aug 05 2008 - VID00005
On July 19th (July 19th as per first statement on transcript- transcribed August 12th) Detective Wells conducts an interview with Kiomarie Cruz while sitting in his vehicle in front of Hidden Oaks Elementary.

ETA: From your article:
For the record, I believe the remains were there since June 18th but I think the defense will use the information posted above to try and create reasonable doubt about the body being there in August as Kronk claims.
I'm beginning to think we'll hear a lot of trashing of searchers before all is said and done. G-d bless TM!Mr. Kronk is, unfortunately, not here to speak for himself. I think it's important since the 'kidnapping' has been brought up several times recently in this thread, that a recent post is also included with some sort of explanation.
Here are Roy Kronk's own words regarding the matter:
In the early 1990s, while on duty with the U.S. Coast Guard in Key West, Florida, I had a girlfriend who made the decision to discontinue her relationship with me and move to South Carolina to reside with another man. At some time after her departure, she called me and asked me to come to South Carolina and help her move away from that individual. I travelled to South Carolina to assist her. Upon my arrival in South Carolina, the man she was living with engaged me in a confrontation. As a result of that confrontation, I was arrested based on false allegations that I had kidnapped my former girlfriend. The matter was submitted to a grand jury in South Carolina. The grand jury determined that there was no probable cause to bring charges against me. In recognition of the falsity of these allegations, all records relating to this arrest were expunged by the South Carolina court
This has been done. Not sure if the threads are still around.Can we explore RK's past? Of course, he found the remains of a missing child.
