Soderbergh puts Grace in the dock

Soderbergh says he has been both fascinated and repelled by the case, but is most interested in the way such stories are told.

"That's one of the things I'm really attempting to do in the piece, to always be a reminder that there is a child involved in this. It's easy to get drawn into the complexity of the case and the legal questions and forget that there was a two-year-old at the centre of this," he says of Tot Mom, which has its first preview on Friday.

"Maybe that's why these cases [of child death] are so compelling for people, because it really is the ultimate transgression . . . But I'm really interested in this debate about how stories like this should be covered."

"I do have faith that when the trial starts and they get in that room, and those jurors are listening to the evidence, the seriousness of it and the stakes will be very, very apparent to them. I hope so, for everybody's sake," he says.

Tot Mom is at Wharf 1 from Friday. Steven Soderbergh is donating his fees to the US National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children and the Sydney Theatre Company will make no profit from the production.

US legal sensation to be played on a Sydney stage
December 12, 2009
Pages 2
<snipped>
The decision to stage a play based on a murder of a child Australians know little about appears to be partly an exercise in testing the waters of public opinion - as well as waiting for the next wave of publicity that will accompany the trial in Florida next year.

Unlike Australia, where contempt laws severely limit reporting beyond the official court process once a person is charged, Caylee's case became a nightly parade of colourful characters - even suspects - across the TV screens of the US.

True crime as a spectator sport
December 11, 2009
Pages 5
<snipped>
WEARING a straw Akubra hat, Essie Davis emerges from the Sydney Theatre Company rehearsal room looking slightly dazed, her eyes squinting in the bright afternoon sunlight. The actor gives every impression that being a part of director Steven Soderbergh's work-in-progress, Tot Mom, is as much a complicated jigsaw and balancing act as other parts of her life.

In the US, particularly Florida, the murder has generated vociferous debate and moral outrage, with some commentators and chatroom detectives calling for the death penalty. At least two websites are dedicated to the ins and outs of the case by providing site and aerial maps of where Caylee's remains were found, a wealth of forensic evidence, court documents and speculative assertions underscored by lynch-mob insensitivities. Some of it reads like a crude version of Shakespeare. There is no shortage of bloggers baying for blood or defensive pleas by the mother and family members on YouTube.

Almost inevitably, the disturbing, sad and enigmatic story at the root of Tot Mom makes her think of motherhood and the anguish and pain of losing a child.

Top crime stories of 2009
December 20, 3:56 PM
<snipped>
2009 has shocked the United States with some disturbing crime stories such as the murder of little Caylee Anthony, a 2-year-old girl from Orlando Florida allegedly murdered by her own mother Casey Anthony. Anthony waited a month to report her child missing in the summer of 2008 and was charged with murder after evidence of decomposition and chlorform were found in the trunk of her car. The case against her grew stronger when a meter reader made a shocking discovery and found the skeletal remains of little Caylee, not far from the home she shared with her mother and grandparents. Now Casey Anthony is facing the death penalty for the murder of her child.

What will 2010 hold for these expolosive cases?

Will the Real Zenaida Gonzalez Please Stand Up!

So here I was watching Saturday Night Live (Google v. iPhone) when I noticed this post on the MarinadeDave blog: ALERT! Zenaida Myspace page logged into today!

And so look is exactly what I did and (Spoiler Alert) while I did not find any real Casey Anthony link, I think I may have found a real juicy Cindy Anthony conspiracy theory – shall I explain?

I did come across some righteous conspiracy angles regarding the issuing of traffic tickets to both Annie Downing and Zenaida Gonzalez on May 24, 2008… (cue mystery music)

Christmas will be much like any other day for Casey Anthony, a spokesman for the Orange County Jail said in a statement.

Due to her status she will not be eligible to attend any of the Christmas programs being offered by the jail's three ministries; however, she could receive a visit from a jail chaplain,'' Allen Moore, a jail spokesman, said in an email to the media.

On Thursday, she will get the same Christmas meal served to other inmates. The meal includes roast beef with gravy, buttered mashed potatoes, creamed corn, baked apple crisp, bread and butter and juice.

Moore's update to the media also noted that she placed an additional order through her jail account. She spent $68.24, records show, on food, snacks, drinks and a sketch pad. Her inmate account now has a balance of $332.62.

Play About Caylee Opens To Positive Reviews

A play based on the Caylee Anthony story opened December 18 at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia to positive reviews. One critic said the play, called “Tot Mom,” is fast-paced and intense.

Another critic, with CitySearch Sydney, called the play "a chilling piece of theatre."

Casey Anthony: Tot Mom play earns positive reviews

John McCallum, critic for The Australian, described it as a “fast-paced, intense production” and added that HLN talk-show host Nancy Grace is “played superbly by Essie Davis.”

McCallum writes: “This production is an extraordinary reflection on the power of television to mould public emotion and to construct a conclusion even before the [trial] proceedings have begun.”

Emma McGowan of Citysearch Sydney writes that Soderbergh creates “a chilling piece of theatre” and that “further excitement is added by the fact that interest in the case is ongoing, and many important questions remain unanswered.”

Casey Anthony: Mixed review for Tot Mom’s focus on ghoulish Nancy Grace
posted by halboedeker on December, 25 2009 10:57 AM
<snipped>
Critic Jason Blake was left unimpressed by Soderbergh’s fascination with Grace.

Blake writes: “Technically, ‘Tot Mom’ is a very snappy piece. It is admirably clear and unsentimental. What it lacks, however, is a truly fresh angle on how the electronic media interact with — and warp — the processes of justice.”

What did Blake like about the play? Essie Davis’ “immaculately coiffed performance” and “exceptional timing” as Grace as well as “the uniformly excellent cast.” (Davis is pictured.)

Tot Mom
Eat your heart out Hinch, THIS is trial by media
December 24th 2009 11:02 am
<snipped>
The subject of the title is Casey Anthony, a Florida woman who, at the time of her three-year-old daughter's disappearance, was just 23. Her daughter - the tot so beloved of headline writers - is, or as it transpires, was "little Caylee" whose gruesome skeletal remains were accidentally discovered, trussed up in a black plastic garbage bag, in swampy woodland, less than a mile from the family home. This much we know for sure because that's what's been investigated and reported by police and newspapers. What happens in Tot Mom, however, is astonishing - for an Australian audience - because Casey Anthony doesn't actually stand trial in a real court of law until late January 2010. Tot Mom is actually a trial by media.

Like Derryn Hinch, Grace is ostensibly for the victim all the way and to h*** with the law and due process. That the law is sometimes an *** we know, but better the you know and over which society has some jurisdiction than the vigilante you don't know and who is self-righteously beyond the law and the rest of us. That's the conclusion I reached anyway.

Tot Mom
<snipped>
On 15 July, 2008, Americans awoke to the story of the mystery disappearance of two-year old Caylee Anthony from a Florida home. The investigation was intense, the news coverage a bombardment of possibilities, intrigue and overzealous news editors, none more so than the infamous Nancy Grace, a former celebrity lawyer known for her opinionated commentary on all things legal.

The tragedy escalated when the case turned into a homicide, one that police could not solve. Grace took the power of television to the end, creating a “justice for Caylee campaign” on her own show that is aired nightly on CNN. In a spine-chilling turn, Caylee's mother, Casey, was arrested for her murder. The family maintains her innocence to this day.

NBC blasted for checkbook journalism on David Goldman story — echoes of Casey Anthony coverage
Caylee and Casey Anthony, NBC, Today, WESH — posted by halboedeker on December, 28 2009 4:37 PM
<snipped>
The panel says it’s “appalled” because NBC News chartered a plane for Goldman and his son, Sean, to fly from Brazil to the United States. They were reunited after a five-year custody battle, and they arrived in Orlando on Christmas Eve. In paying for the plane, NBC News engaged in “checkbook journalism,” the Ethics Committee says.

Many viewers have been appalled by fees that TV news organizations have paid for photographs and footage in the Casey Anthony case. The networks say they are not paying for interviews by paying the fees. But many observers have been infuriated that the Anthony family seems to be profiting from the death of a child, 2-year-old Caylee Anthony.

The Goldman story is an uplifting one, but paying for access is still paying for news. When money changes hands, that gives the appearance of compromising the reporting.

There should be one standard in journalism. No matter if the story is happy or tragic, checkbook journalism is wrong.

Attorney of Record in Record Time
Dec 28th, 2009 by Richard Hornsby.
<snipped>
Exactly how did Jose Baez become Casey Anthony’s attorney and how he is getting paid? Those are the questions that everyone wants answered.

But what people should really be asking is how did Jose Baez become Casey Anthony’s attorney so quickly.

And to get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning – back to the day Casey Anthony was arrested.

In the beginning there was no Jose…
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Prisoner Transport Jurat, Casey Anthony was officially booked into jail as of 11:40 p.m. on July 16, 2008.

According to the Notice of Appearance filed by Jose Baez, he was officially her attorney of record as of 3:54 p.m. on July 17, 2008.

And just like that, 17 hours later, Casey Anthony had made the life or death decision of who would be her attorney .

First she was booked.
She was booked on July 16, 2008 at 11:40 p.m. Assuming that everything went smoothly, booking would take about an hour, possibly two.

A Little Perspective Please
But to help you understand just how extraordinary it is that Casey Anthony “selected” Jose Baez in less than a 17 hour period, it is necessary to put the other events that were taking place during that 17-hour period into perspective.

Time keeps on ticking, ticking into the future

Not so Fast!

And then there was Jose Baez. Jose Who? Jose Baez, Jose Who? Oh never mind!

Someone in Jail gave Jose Baez’s Number to Casey

But What if Some Other Dude Did It?

My Personal Conspiracy Theory

But the Most Likely Explanation
Hmm, show me the money… Maybe that will be the subject of my next blog post?

Change of Venue + Sequestration = An Orange County Trial
Dec 29th, 2009 by Richard Hornsby.
<snipped>
If Judge Strickland were to grant Casey Anthony’s Motion for Change of Venue and also sequester the jury, where would the trial be held?

Answer: Orange County

If a court finds that a fair and impartial jury cannot be impaneled in the county where the offense was committed, and the court determines that once a jury is selected it shall be sequestered, the court on its own motion, or upon a motion of any party, may elect to select a jury from a county other than where the offense was committed. … Upon completion of jury selection, the jury shall be brought for trial to the county where the offense was committed.
