Deputy Refuses To Accept Firing Over Response To Call
Posted: 4:56 pm EDT April 10, 2009
Updated: 6:39 pm EDT April 10, 2009
<snipped>
Deputy Cain testified on December 18, 2008 and again on January 14, 2009 and the investigation deemed his testimony to be "untruthful."

The resulting punishment for his actions is two-fold, according to the sheriff's office. Cain is to receive 160 hours suspension without pay for "Unsatisfactory Performance" and termination for being untruthful.

However, Cain didn't accept the termination and is fighting the recommendation. He gets two appeals. If he loses the first appeal, he'll be fired immediately. A second appeal would be heard after his termination.

WFTV Legal Analyst On Anthonys: "Like Mother, Like Daughter"

But Gonzalez say she's lost her job and her peace of mind after Casey gave her name to investigators and they questioned her. WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer says Zenaida's attorneys were patient and polite, despite the Anthonys' belligerent behavior.

"It makes them look as though there's something to hide," WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.

Sheaffer watched Cindy and George Anthony's videotaped depositions and told Eyewitness News the Anthonys' behavior is damaging to their daughter Casey's defense against charges she premeditatedly murdered her daughter Caylee two months before her third birthday.

Deputy Searched Woods Where Caylee's Remains Later Found

The Orange County Sheriff's Office intends to terminate the deputy involved in the search of the area where Caylee Anthony's remains were found.

Kronks lawyer, David Evans, issued the following statement on his client's behalf:

"He (Kronk) says he's told the truth about what happened from the beginning - and feels that this bears that out. But he doesn't get any satisfaction from seeing this punishment. That's between the Sheriff's Department and Deputy Cain. Whether it's fair or unfair, he's not going to take a position on that."

The professional standards report recommends Cain should face about 160 hours suspension without pay. They also recommend he should be fired for his untruthful testimony.

Jose Baez Response To Cain
Shortly after the report on Richard Cain was released, Marti Mackenzie, the spokesperson for Jose Baez released this statement:

The information that Deputy Cain lied about the most critical piece of evidence in this case played second fiddle all week to attempts to analyze
Casey Anthony's behavior at various junctures in this tragic case. The defense knows what's relevant, and we are concentrating on that.
The Florida Bar is now confirming a private investigator is the one who filed the latest complaint against Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez.

Casey Anthony case: WFTV asks if parents' deposition performances could help their daughter if she's convicted
posted by halboedeker on Apr 10, 2009 5:51:31 PM
<snipped>
WFTV-Channel 9's Kathi Belich drew comparisons between Cindy and her daughter, Casey, for the way they responded to questioning. "They both talk in circles and they both change their stories," Belich said.

WKMG-Channel 6's Mike DeForest highlighted how Cindy on Thursday contradicted what she previously said.
She admitted to a detective that she had sent people to the woods to look for Caylee. But on Thursday, Cindy said she hadn't and that such a statement would be a lie.

Cindy had written on MySpace on July 3 that "my Caylee is missing." On Thursday, she said she didn't think Caylee was missing until July 15.
How did Cindy reconcile that Casey said she was working late at night when she didn't actually have a job? "I don't," Cindy said.

Deputy faces termination
Panel cites negligence and "unthruthfulness"
Last Edited: Friday, 10 Apr 2009, 6:39 PM EDT
Created On: Friday, 10 Apr 2009, 6:01 PM EDT
<snipped>
An internal investigation revealed that Cain "allowed Mr. Kronk to depart the scene without seeking any assistance." The report goes on to state that Cain "failed to thoroughly investigate the call for service, which ultimately delayed the discovery of the remains."
Upon further review, it was concluded that Cain was not truthful in his testimony, and for that, he faces termination. He was notified on Friday, but will have an opportunity to appeal the decision and has elected to do so, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Deputy Cain was reassigned to a supply office in January and currently has no law enforcement authority. According to a spokesman with the Sheriff's Office, he will continue to work in that capacity until the appeal process is complete.

Subsequent studies agree with Resnick&#8217;s Classification of Motives in Maternal Filicide Cases

Subsequent studies have agreed on a commonality of motives in cases of maternal filicide.[8] These motives are: (1) the mother&#8217;s mental illness, often seen as &#8220;pathological,&#8221; &#8220;acutely psychotic,&#8221; or &#8220;mentally ill&#8221; killings, (2) lack of bonding with the child, manifested as &#8220;neonaticide,&#8221; &#8220;unwanted child,&#8221; or &#8220;ignored pregnancy&#8221; deaths, and (3) inadequate parenting, resulting in &#8220;accidental,&#8221; &#8220;discipline-related,&#8221; or &#8220;neglect&#8221; deaths.

An internal investigation in the Orange County Sheriff's Office is recommending that the deputy who investigated tips from a meter reader about the whereabouts of Caylee Anthony be suspended without pay and terminated for "untruthfulness."

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the investigation of Cain's handling of the call found his response to be unsatisfactory and additional effort should have been expended by him to exhaust the findings of the call.

The report also says Cain provided testimony on two occasions that was deemed to be "untruthful."

Media zap right to fair trial: To wit, Casey Anthony et al.
Terence Lenamon | Special to the Sentinel
April 8, 2009
<snipped>
As one who represented Casey Anthony during negotiations on whether Florida would seek the death penalty, I think it's time that we evaluate the American media coverage of this hitherto unknown twentysomething single mother. Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.

Why look at media coverage? Because she has the same rights under the U.S. Constitution as you and I do. And those rights are being disrespected and trampled in what may well be a permanent loss of not only her right to a fair trial, but yours and mine as well.

This is not an issue of adjudicating guilt or innocence. Our constitutional right to due process &#8212; our right to a fair trial &#8212; is being weakened by the commercial incentives of media witch hunts exemplified by the Casey Anthony case. We need to recognize and stop this attack upon us all.

Casey Anthony case: WKMG finds another Caylee searcher who got the cold shoulder from deputy

In an "Only on 6" report this weekend, the CBS affiliate says a volunteer who searched for Caylee Anthony in August also received "the cold shoulder" from Cain.

Volunteer Keith Williams told WKMG that he searched the woods in August and found a bag of undamaged stuffed animals. "Williams immediately alerted the Orange County Sheriff's Office and soon found himself meeting with Deputy Richard Cain," WKMG's Mike DeForest reported.

Cain looked at the bag of stuff animals and threw it back in the woods, Williams said.
The Williams-Cain meeting happened five days after Kronk was "blown off" by the deputy, DeForest reported. Caylee's remains were found in December after another tip from Kronk.

"Based upon additional information that has become available since the waiver of intent to seek the penalty of death filed on December 5, 2008, sufficient aggravating circumstances exist to justify the imposition of the Death Penalty," the filed letter states.
The legal aggravating circumstances that would apply in this case would be that the murder was cruel and atrocious and cold, calculated and premeditated.

Prosecutors might also argue financial reasons were behind the murder, so Casey would not have to support Caylee. There is evidence showing Casey's mother was planning to kick her out of the house.
And, just last year, two new and relevant aggravators were added to the law. The victim is younger than 12 and the victim was particularly vulnerable because Casey had authority over Caylee.
