UPDATED: Woman In Alleged Anthony Affair Reveals Details
Krystal Holloway's Statements To Be Released Soon
POSTED: Friday, March 19, 2010
UPDATED: 1:05 am EDT March 19,2010
<snipped>
A woman who claims George Anthony confided in her about how Caylee Anthony died revealed details of her story to Local 6 News' Tony Pipitone.

In her only one-on-one interview, Krystal Holloway said that the statements she gave to investigators -- which are about to be released -- are true.

Holloway also goes by an alias, River Cruz, which she said she adopted when she left a violent boyfriend behind in New York 13 years ago.

"I am not a gold digger," she told Pipitone. "(I) don't want to make any money off of this. I feel bad that little girl is dead."

Krystal Holloway said she told detectives last month that George Anthony told her that he thought Caylee had died in accident.

"I turned around and I almost started to cry," she said. "And I turned my head and he grabbed my hands, and he said, 'It was an accident that snowballed out of control.'"

She said the Enquirer offered her up to $7,000 for her story, but she turned it down.

Casey's Jailhouse Letters Could Hurt Defense
Posted: 6:05 am EDT March 19,2010
Updated: 11:01 am EDT March 19,2010
<snipped>
An Orange County judge could finally make a decision Friday on whether or not taxpayers will pay for Casey Anthony's defense. Her attorneys have been ordered to hand over a detailed list of how the defense team has spent its money.

The deadline comes as more information comes out about two inmates Casey befriended while in jail. Sources tell Eyewitness News that Casey may have written as many as 50 letters to one of them. Eyewitness News has also learned that those letters were illegally passed between inmates by a corrections officer.

Eyewitness News broke the story Thursday when a new document revealed an investigation involving two other inmates and one corrections officer. They say she wrote at least 50 letters to an inmate, possibly a woman named Robyn Adams, who was also incarcerated in the Orange County jail. Adams is in now federal prison for her participation in the drug trade.

The letters could be released in 15 days if Casey's law team does not fight it.

A corrections officer is being investigated, because she allegedly facilitated the friendship by passing the letters along. The jail said it cannot confirm that assertion, but if the investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement turns up enough evidence to warrant an internal investigation it will conduct one.

"Also significant, because it's not a matter of jailhouse snitch coming forward to say that she allegedly said something to them. These letters are in her own handwriting," WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.

<snipped>
Anthony, who turns 24, will usher in the day at the Orange County Jail with a meal of oatmeal, a sausage patty, cheese and bread.

At lunch, she'll feast on Spanish rice with meat, carrots, bread and cookie or cake.

She'll round out the day with scalloped potatoes, turkey-ham, peas, bread and fruit.

George and Cindy Anthony have been contributing to their daughter's inmate account, jail records show.

They deposited $100 in her jail account on March 8. George Anthony also made a $50 deposit in her account on March 2.

Casey Anthony has spent the funds on mostly food and beverages, including bottled water, Skittles, hot cocoa, hot peanuts and flour tortillas, records show.

On Thursday, Anthony also ordered shampoo, conditioner, pens and deodorant.

New Casey Attorney: &#8216;$275K Isn&#8217;t Much For Death Penalty Defense&#8217;
Friday, March 19, 2010 7:45:35 AM
<snipped>
A new attorney is now on Casey Anthony's team. But he said his client is flat broke, and that&#8217;s why they said they need the public to pay the rest of her court fees.

Before a decision is made, Judge Stan Strickland wants to see where every dollar up until this point has been spent.

"It goes without saying everything the defense has done in this case has always been 100 percent honest," said Jose Baez, one of Anthony&#8217;s attorneys.

The defense will show all paperwork to be looked at behind closed doors.

Cheney said handling a case like this is the highest calling the legal profession has.

Judge: Anthony can use public money

A judge has ruled that Casey Anthony is indigent and can use public money to pay for part of her defense against charges that she murdered her 2-year-old daughter.

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland issued the ruling Friday, a day after her attorney disclosed that ABC had paid the Florida mother and her relatives $200,000 for exclusive use of family photos and videos.

In his ruling, the judge said all costs for the defense will be submitted to the court to make sure they comply with rates and caps on spending.

Judge: Public must pay court costs for Casey Anthony
6:26 p.m. EDT, March 19, 2010
<snipped>
An Orange County judge on Friday gave Casey Anthony an unusual birthday present: He declared her indigent.

Anthony, who turned 24 on Friday, had asked for the declaration, saying she no longer has money to defend herself against a first-degree murder charge.

In a one-page order, Strickland, wrote that he has reviewed Anthony's financial paperwork and concluded that she truly is indigent, meaning she cannot pay the costs associated with her defense.

The assistance she will now receive is something for which most felony defendants qualify. Seldom, though, does it go to defendants who have hired their own attorneys.

Jail Launches Investigation Into Casey Anthony Letters
Posted: 5:34 pm EDT March 19,2010
Updated: 7:01 pm EDT March 19,2010
<snipped>
The Orange County jail Friday launched its own investigation into at least one corrections officer accused of helping Casey Anthony exchange letters with her jail pen pal. But Casey probably won't get in trouble for that pen pal, even though the rules of her high-risk solitary confinement were broken.

The jail's policy places the blame on jail guards for this kind of thing if they were involved, so Casey might not face any repercussions.

Jail guard Silva Hernandez might, though. This happened about a year ago and Hernandez had already been transferred from Casey's building before this came to light.

&#8220;Orange County Corrections has started an internal investigation into issues uncovered in an FDLE investigation mentioned in court documents yesterday. The court document indicates that letters or notes were passed between Casey Anthony and at least one other inmate,&#8221; Allen Moore wrote in a release from Orange County Correction emailed Friday afternoon.

Casey is in protective custody in the female detention center, Dorm L, which is where jail guard Silva Hernandez worked for a year, starting January 2008 when she was hired. Casey was there at least since October 2008.

The defense has 14 days left to file a motion if it wants to keep Casey&#8217;s pen pal letters sealed.

Judge Grants Casey Anthony's Indigent Status
Posted: 4:03 pm EDT March 19,2010
Updated: 6:50 pm EDT March 19,2010

Taxpayers are going to have to pay Casey Anthony's defense bills. The court officially declared her indigent Friday afternoon.

The judge said Friday that he reviewed defense attorney Jose Baez's cost ledger and said Casey meets all the legal standards to be declared indigent for the purposes of cost.

The defense told the judge Thursday it brought in a total of $275,000 for Casey's defense. Baez had already filed paperwork with the clerk indicating he got $90,000 of it for his fee and co-counsel Andrea Lyon got $22,500, but used all of that for expenses, and that he paid public relations woman Marti Mackenzie $10,000.

Behind closed doors, Baez apparently explained how he spent the other $152,500 that was left.

Casey's jail account is empty; in fact, she owes 79 cents.

Casey&#8217;s parents have deposited $150 in her account this month, but she's already spent it all.

Casey's birthday dinner menu includes scalloped potatoes with turkey, peas, bread, fruit and a beverage.

Casey Anthony: ABC paid $200,000 to Casey Anthony and gained what?
posted by halboedeker on March, 19 2010 4:38 PM
<snipped>
The money paid to Anthony, long rumored and confirmed by Anthony attorney Jose Baez in court Thursday, was &#8220;absurd and troubling,&#8221; said one insider. &#8220;This is a problem,&#8221; the network insider added. &#8220;The amount taints it. It is a standard practice, but when it goes to that stratosphere, you&#8217;ve jumped off a cliff. We don&#8217;t want to jump off that cliff with you. The thing we&#8217;ll have to fight is other people saying, &#8216;ABC played Casey Anthony $200,000.&#8217; &#8221;

Licensing has to be done in a careful way because it&#8217;s not about buying an interview, but the $200,000 suggests that ABC was trying to buy a story, the insider said.

Several factors taint the ABC deal with Anthony, agreed Al Tompkins, an instructor at the Poynter Institute, a school for journalists. &#8220;The amount of money is such an unreasonably high number,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;re paying it to someone under suspicion of murder. She wasn&#8217;t indicted at that time. But no matter how you spend it, the public perception could be that you&#8217;re paying for special access or you&#8217;re trying to curry favor.&#8221;

Yet the money paid to Anthony crosses that line, the insider said: &#8220;It went to her lawyer. You are paying an alleged killer.&#8221;

Tompkins said ABC could have blunted the controversy in 2008, when the footage aired on &#8220;20/20,&#8221; if the network said it obtained the material through a licensing agreement. &#8220;Why wouldn&#8217;t you disclose that?&#8221; Tompkins asks. Tompkins said Baez&#8217;s revelation was worse than a black eye for ABC News.

&#8220;It harms all of us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We all get tainted with the brush, &#8216;We all do it. &#8216; People see everyone as doing the same thing, as not having ethical guidelines on these high-profile cases. Everything goes.&#8221; And what did ABC get for its money? Mainly the embarrassment of Baez&#8217;s revelation in court yesterday. The network had to have the Casey Anthony story that bad?

Casey Anthony: Did she commit a cardinal sin with those jail notes?
posted by halboedeker on March, 19 2010 6:21 PM
<snipped>
WESH-Channel 2&#8217;s Bob Kealing cited a source who had read the letters and said they contained &#8220;ramblings,&#8221; &#8220;references to food&#8221; and &#8220;very few references to Caylee.&#8221; Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

&#8220;She&#8217;s talking about her case, she&#8217;s committing a cardinal sin,&#8221; said Orlando attorney Richard Hornsby, who does legal analysis for WESH. &#8220;Don&#8217;t talk about your case to anybody in jail.&#8221;

Hornsby also said: &#8220;The amount of notes isn&#8217;t very shocking to me. Inmates have nothing else to do while they&#8217;re in jail. The question is how this girl got these notes back and forth to Casey Anthony.&#8221;

WOFL&#8217;s Holly Bristow said: &#8220;Attorney Jose Baez did have a big file with him. He had to show the judge where Casey&#8217;s money has been spent. .. This afternoon, Baez did have to bring facts and figures into the judge&#8217;s chambers. It was all done behind closed doors. I asked where the money has gone, but he wouldn&#8217;t answer any of my questions.&#8221;

WKMG-Channel 6&#8217;s Tony Pipitone talked to Crystal Holloway, the woman also known as River Cruz who says she was George Anthony&#8217;s mistress. Holloway alleges that George said granddaughter Caylee died in &#8220;an accident that snowballed out of control.&#8221;

&#8220;He has known, him and Cindy both have known she has been deceased,&#8221; Holloway told Pipitone. Caylee&#8217;s grandparents deny that statement, Pipitone said. George Anthony, through his lawyer, had denied the affair as well.

More about this alleged affair is likely to come out in discovery that will be released, possibly Monday.

What Impact Will Photo Rights Purchase Have On Case?
ABC News paid $200,000 for exclusive Casey Anthony photo licensing rights, which is a move that's raising serious eyebrows.

&#8220;The story is about this one particular family,&#8221; said Tim Brown, a professor at the University of Central Florida&#8217;s Nicholson School of Journalism. &#8220;Eventually you're going to want to talk to that family. Who are they going to want to talk to? Anybody or the people that paid them $200,000 for the right to show the pictures.&#8221;

While no laws were broken by paying for pictures, Brown said viewers may now question the news organization's credibility.

&#8220;The real problem is they didn't say anything,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;They weren't up front when they started airing these pictures that they paid an exorbitant amount of money to get the rights to it.

Casey Anthony's Letters Prompt Investigation
Investigation Could Result In Disciplinary Action
POSTED: 3:37 pm EDT March 19, 2010
UPDATED: 4:32 pm EDT March 19, 2010
<snipped>
An Orange County corrections officer face disciplinary action for shuffling secret notes between Casey Anthony and another inmate.

Anthony allegedly wrote 50 letters to another inmate that amounted to more than 250 pages in her own handwriting.

A representative for the Orange County Department of Corrections said the letters were a a violation of security protocol. Any corrections officer who facilitated the correspondence could face punishment, as well as Anthony herself.

Prosectors alleged Anthony was somehow able to exchange the letters with Robyn Adam, who is being referred to by Anthony's defense team as a "jailhouse snitch." According to court documents there are 258 pages believed to be handwritten by Anthony.

"The amount of notes isn't very shocking. The question is how tough was it to get the notes back and forth to the other inmate?" defense attorney Richard Hornsby said.

Adams pleaded guilty to drug charges and was sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison. Besides the letters, court papers indicated investigators have interviewed her twice in the last 30 days.

According to sources, Adams' statements about what Anthony told her will also be useful to the prosecution.

The Orange County Jail is investigating a report that Casey Anthony wrote 258 pages of notes and letters to another woman inmate, officials said Friday.

The information was uncovered through a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation and presented in court by prosecutors Thursday. If Anthony did send the notes, she would have violated jail policy, a spokesman said.

Anthony, 24, who is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, is in a cell by herself for her own protection and is not allowed to have direct contact with other inmates. That includes passing notes.
