ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - We're waiting for jail house letters that Casey Anthony wrote to other inmates.

Casey Anthony wrote roughly 50 letters to another inmate in the Orange County jail. The defense isn't fighting to keep the letters from becoming public.

“We're not concerned with anything in there. There's no admissions," said Jose Baez.

But sources say there are harsh words.

Sources tell FOX 35 that Casey Anthony’s parents might not want to look at the letters. Apparently their daughter isn't very kind to them.


Anthony remains in protective custody in a solitary cell. She’s only let out for minimal amounts of time and, according to jail policy, is not supposed to have communication with other inmates.

UPDATED: Jail Letters: Casey Tells Inmate She Used Chloroform On Caylee

<snipped>
Tuesday's newly-released documents give the most revealing look into Casey Anthony's life behind bars that the public has seen since she was first arrested nearly two years ago. Casey Anthony rambled in her letters and contradicts herself from sentence to sentence at times. All in all, she communicated less about Caylee and much more about her plans for her new life once she gets out of jail.

In the letters, Casey told inmate Robyn Adams that Caylee had trouble sleeping and she had to use chloroform to put her to sleep. Also, Casey Anthony implied to Robyn Adams that her mother, Cindy Anthony, brought chloroform home from the clinic where she worked.

Casey claimed in one of her letters that she had given Caylee to the nanny, while she prepared for the two of them to start a new life and wrote, "That's why I waited to report her missing. Because she was and wasn't."

However, Casey confided to Adams that there was no &#8220;Zenaida.&#8221; Adams believes that may have been written in one of the letters she sent to her friend, Tracey Nealley. Although Casey Anthony and Robyn Adams agreed to flush the letters after reading them, Adams kept them and mailed them to Nealley.

Adams also told investigators that, on the day Caylee was found and after the jail chaplain already told Casey that Caylee&#8217;s remains had been found, Casey told Adams that Caylee was found in a baby blanket in a black trash bag. However, the chaplain didn't know that at the time.

Casey also accused her brother Lee Anthony of sexually abusing her for three years, starting when she was 12 years old. She wrote to Adams that he stopped after she threatened to kill him if he came back into her room. Casey also claimed that she was molested by her father George when she was younger, but did not elaborate further. She said her mother accused her of lying and called her a .

CASEY WRITES ABOUT FAME, HER LOOKS
Casey Anthony&#8217;s jail house friends also said Casey thought she was famous. In the letters, Casey wrote that she had to get pretty before she went to court and she laughed when her case got national attention. But she isn't a fan of WFTV or reporter Kathi Belich. &#8220;I&#8217;ve really started to dispise (sic) Channel 9, and Kathi Belich. No integrity. They don&#8217;t check facts anymore which is just plain wrong, and very sad,&#8221; Casey wrote in one of her letters.

Casey also talked about her fan mail. In one letter, she wrote that she got thousands of letters and cards from people across the country supporting her. She also wrote that at least two men had become obsessed with her and one even proposed to her on several occasions.

"Really? Is this what celebrities have to deal with? Yikes!" Casey wrote.

CASEY WRITES ABOUT GOD AND SNEEZES
Perhaps the most interesting aspect is Casey thinks God communicates with her by making her sneeze to agree or disagree with what's she's thinking. The documents also reveal that she seems to look to attorney Jose Baez as her father, inmate Robyn Adams as her sister and Baez's assistant as her new crush.

CASEY WRITES ABOUT HER 'NEW FAMILY'
Casey even jokes, calling herself a loser for having a crush on one of her own attorneys. She blames it on what she calls the lack of contact with intelligent, attractive males while behind bars. However, her so-called father-figure, Jose Baez, consoles her, saying he's sorry she hasn't met a man deserving of her, but he guaranteed it would happen someday.

DOCUMENTS REVEAL NEW INFO ABOUT GEORGE&#8217;S &#8216;OTHER WOMAN&#8217;
Holloway said George confided in her that Caylee's death was an accident that went wrong, but George never told her what the accident was. He even relayed a story where he yelled at Casey, "I know you killed her! What did you do with her?" Then he allegedly choked Casey and Cindy had to pull him off.

Holloway said Cindy thought George was looking for a job when he was really spending time with her. She claims George said Cindy was a carbon copy of Casey. "'She's cold. She has battery acid running through her veins,'" Holloway said George told her of Cindy. In the reports, investigators saud a security guard at Holloway&#8217;s gated community said George would drive there and visit her regularly.

PROSECUTORS WANT HEARING TRANSCRIPT
Prosecutors want the transcript from a hearing last year when a former member of Casey's defense team made a specific statement in court. &#8220;The body or remains of Caylee Anthony were placed there after Casey Anthony was locked up in the Orange County correctional facility. There is substantial evidence and that proves, your honor, her innocence,&#8221; attorney Todd Macaluso said in August. State prosecutors filed the motion Monday to get that transcript from the two-hour hearing, but the motion does not say why they want the information.

WHAT'S NEXT IN CASEY CASE?
Later this month, more discovery documents are expected to be released. In May, the civil case brought against Casey by Zenaida Gonzalez will have a pre-trial hearing.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony's jailhouse letters released
Updated: Tuesday, 06 Apr 2010, 6:03 PM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 06 Apr 2010, 5:49 AM EDT
<snipped>
The hundreds of pages of letters do not contain a confession, but Anthony frequently complained about her family in the letters she wrote to a female drug dealer she befriended at the Orange County Jail. Anthony also wrote of her profound dislike of her former boyfriend, Jesse Grund, indicating that she was relieved when he informed her that DNA tests proved he wasn't her daughter's father.

In one excerpt, Casey elaborates on a paternity test she had taken to determine the true father of Caylee Marie.

"Our 'exes' sure are winners aren't they! At least I know, well am 99 % sure, that Cays isn't Jesse's. We had a paternity test done when she was a couple weeks old, and it took forever to get the results back which I've been told shouldn't have been the case ... and according to the paper he brought to my house in late Sept. 05, Jesse wasn't the father. Joy to the world! The strange thing is, Baez asked for him to give a sample of his DNA, and he refused! We wanted to see whether or not the test results from 4 years ago were true. Drama. I despise that loser and I pity him and his self-righteous Christian family. His dad claim's to be the right hand of God. Hate to burst his bubble, but Jesus sits there. I totally know what you went through with Sam's dad. Same exact feelings J's dad had towards me. And no, they aren't Spanish. Something almost worst- Italian. I've always like Italian guys, but I've come to realize that I need to stick to my roots and go Irish. They may be drunks, but at least they cook and know how to properly treat a woman. Can I get an Amen?"

UPDATED: Inmate: Casey Anthony used drugs to &#8216;knock&#8217; out Caylee
Letters and new evidence give public insight into what Casey Anthony has been saying in jail.
7:49 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2010
<snipped>
Casey Anthony told one fellow jail inmate she used chloroform to put her daughter Caylee to sleep, and told another she used to "knock" out the toddler so she could go out at night, according to documents just released in the first-degree murder case against the 24-year-old mother. On Tuesday, jailhouse letters and other investigative documents give the first public insight into what Casey Anthony has been doing, who she's been talking to, and what she's been saying in conversations with fellow inmates. The topics range from Anthony's plans to take an RV trip when she gets out of jail, to complaints about her mother, to a crush on one of her attorneys.

Robyn Adams, another inmate who communicated with Casey Anthony verbally and through letters, told investigators Anthony told her Caylee had trouble sleeping and she used chloroform to put her to sleep. Anthony implied that her mother, Cindy Anthony, may have brought the chloroform home when she worked at a local clinic.

Adams told investigators Anthony also confided in her there was no babysitter named Zenaida. (Casey Anthony told law enforcement a babysitter named Zenaida took Caylee.) But in one letter to Adams, Anthony wrote about Zenaida.

Anthony wrote about how she had plans to move away with her daughter but her plans got "tangled." "Zany wouldn't tell me where she and Cays were. I had asked her to take Cays for a few days so I could put the rest of our stuff together, money I had saved, new clothes, new everything. That's why I waited to report her missing, because she was and wasn't. I would give anything to go back to that day and to not have let Caylee out of my sight."

Adams also said that on the day Caylee's remains were discovered in December 2008, Anthony told her law enforcement found the body of a small child with a baby blanket inside a black garbage bag. "As a note, the information regarding the baby blanket and black garbage bag was not made known to the jail chaplain so Casey Anthony had knowledge of items on the suspect, certain law enforcement personnel and the certain medical examiner's personnel knew," a Sheriff's Office report said.

In addition to the investigative documents, the State Attorney's Office also released more than 250 pages of handwritten letters between Anthony and Adams, and between Adams and a friend of hers, Tracy Nealley of Altamonte Springs. Adams struggled with what to do with the letters. She told her friend&#8212; who she sent the letters to so she would keep them safe&#8212; that the letters may help her get out of prison sooner. "I never really thought about how huge this case really is because I'm not on the outside," she wrote on Sept. 3, 2009. She didn't know if there may be valuable information in the notes Anthony sent her.

Other details revealed in Casey Anthony's letters
In letters to Adams, Casey Anthony claims that her attorney told her he was going to try and smuggle into the jail a few crossword or Soduko puzzles. She also wrote that her family emails letters to her attorney, he prints them and then brings them to the jail for her to read, according to the documents. She does not specify which attorney.

Casey Anthony: Casey Anthony bashes parents in jailhouse letters, WESH says
posted by halboedeker on April, 6 2010 12:43 PM
<snipped>
We should know soon when her jailhouse letters are released this afternoon. WESH-Channel 2, WKMG-Channel 6 and WFTV-Channel 9 previewed the release on noon newscasts.

&#8220;It will be the first extensive look into her thoughts since she was arrested in October 2008 on the murder charge and put into protective custody at the Orange County Jail,&#8221; Pipitone said.

On WESH, Eryka Washington said, &#8220;This is the first time we&#8217;re getting a glimpse of Casey&#8217;s life behind bars.&#8221;

Washington added that defense attorney Jose Baez did not object to the letters&#8217; release because he says there&#8217;s nothing incriminating on them. &#8220;However, we are told Casey spends a lot of time bashing her parents, George and Cindy Anthony,&#8221; Washington said

UPDATED: Casey: 'I Would Give My Life To Have Caylee Back'
Defense Opts Not To Fight Release
POSTED: Tuesday, April 6, 2010
UPDATED: 5:10 pm EDT April 6, 2010
<snipped>
The state attorney's office released more than 500 pages of letters between Anthony and inmate Robyn Adams Tuesday. They also released a report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement about interviews with Adams about the pair's relationship.

Adams told agents about how they began communicating, and details about what the pair discussed.

"Anthony would give Caylee 'stuff' to make her sleep. Anthony and Adams discussed chloroform and Anthony stated she used to give Caylee 'antihistamines or something,' to make her sleep. Caylee would have a hard time taking naps because she was afraid of 'missing out on something,' " the FDLE report said. "Caylee used the phrase 'knock her out' in reference to medicating Caylee to help her sleep. Anthony would always like to have her days free."

Allegations Of Abuse
"I know how it feels to be physically, mentally and emotionally abused," Anthony said. "The worst part is, when I tried to confide in someone before -- Jesse, my mom, they turned on me. I was to blame for my own brother walking into my room at night and feeling my breasts while I slept. I woke up night after night with my sports bra lifted up over my chest." "This went on for over three years before I finally stood up to Lee and told told him if he ever came in my room again, I'd kill him," Anthony wrote. "I was 15."

Anthony said she believed her dad also molested her when she was younger.

Casey's 'Crush' On An Attorney
"I haven't told the boys yet, Jose B. will be over-protective and will probably want to tell them to back off (but wouldn't because of the media). Gabe would laugh with me and I'm sure Jose G. would too. Gabe=big brother; Baez=my other papa/super close friend; Jose G.=my school girl crush (still). I'm a loser! I feel like a major one for crushing on one of my attorneys. I'll blame it on lack of contact with 1. attractive males and 2. intelligent, attractive, males," Anthony wrote.

Anthony, Adams' Relationship
Adams told Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents that she and Anthony began communicating through hand gestures, and eventually escalated into a friendship.

FDLE said Adams told them Anthony referenced the discovery of Caylee's remains on two occasions.

"Adams recalled seeing a story on the news in which it was being reported that divers had located a bag of bones in the river at Blanchard Park. That night, Adams went to Anthony to talk to her about it. Anthony told Adams that it was not her daughter. Adams recalled Anthony giggling about the story as if Anthony knew it wasn't her daughter," the FDLE report said.

Agents said Adams told them Anthony only ever seemed afraid on one occasion, when authorities found human remains in the woods by her mother's house.

Adams told FDLE agents that she and Anthony were allowed by a corrections officer named Silvia Hernandez to see each other regularly, sometimes for hours at a time. The pair appear to have exchanged notes by exchanging them through books that Anthony would tell Adams to read in the jail.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony Jailhouse Letters Released
Anthony Claims Sexual Abuse By Brother, Possibly Father
POSTED: 5:57 am EDT April 6, 2010
UPDATED: 8:17 pm EDT April 6, 2010
<snipped>
In the letters, Anthony stated she's an emotional wreck and said she was sexually abused. "I woke up night after night with my sports bra lifted over my chest or if I had a regular bra, it would be unhooked," Anthony wrote. Anthony claimed her brother would walk into her room at night and feel her breasts. "This went on for over three years before I finally stood up to Lee and told him if he ever came in my room again, I'd kill him," Anthony wrote.

Anthony said she loved her daughter and believed she was a good mother in search of some freedom. "I don't know one single mom who doesn't try to get their freedom regardless of how old they are. That's one of the biggest things that truly cuts me when I hear them talk about me as a mother. I was a great mom. And I love my daughter with everything that I have. I would give my life to have her back even for five minutes," Anthony wrote.

Anthony indicated her desire to buy a recreational vehicle and take trips with Adams after they're released from jail. "As far as my plans for when I leave, besides trying to entertain your behind until I drag you out of wherever, I'm not sure. I'll start getting things together for our RV trips and such," Anthony wrote.

The letters also indicated Anthony suffered a miscarriage in 2007 and desires to adopt a child. "So many kids and teens are homeless, and that's something I want to target, and ... missing children as well. That sits close to my heart, and I wish there was something we could do to prevent it," Anthony wrote.

Anthony wrote that she continues to talk to Caylee, who she refers to in the letters as Cays, every day. "When I tell Cays how much I lover her, I've always ended it with 'forever and always.' I still do to this day. I talk to her throughout the day, as I do daddy, and it brings a sense of peace to my heart," Anthony wrote. "Thinking about it brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. I'm an emotional wreck."

On Tuesday night, Liz Brown, of the DePaul Center for Justice in Capital Cases, released the following statement as the defense response to Anthony's letters:

"The letters released today reflect the natural desire for companionship when isolated for 23 hours a day, and clearly demonstrate Casey's unconditional love for her daughter, Caylee. Despite these intentions, it is obvious in the letters authored by Robyn Adams that her sole purpose and only goal in corresponding with Casey Anthony was to create 'leverage to get out of prison early.' Furthermore, despite numerous inaccurate media reports, the letters written by Casey Anthony do not contain a single reference to chloroform or any admissions of guilt. Casey Anthony maintains her innocence and looks forward to her day in court."

UPDATED: Casey Alleges Family Abuse, Chloroform Use In Jail Letters
Tuesday, April 06, 2010 5:26:50 PM
<snipped>
Casey told fellow inmate Robyn Adams that Caylee had trouble sleeping and that she had to use chloroform to put her to sleep.

Adams told investigators Casey's mom, Cindy, may have brought the chloroform home when she worked at a local clinic. In the actual interview, Adams says Casey told her she would go out after Caylee went to sleep.

Some of the letters are also about her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, and contain disturbing details of Anthony&#8217;s family life.

In the letters, Anthony said she was abused by her brother, Lee Anthony, since she was a young child. She writes Lee Anthony sexually and mentally abused her just before she turned 12. Casey says for more than three years, Lee would come into her room and touch her breasts in the middle of the night. Casey said she told her mother, but Cindy said Lee was sleepwalking.

She also wrote that she "thinks her father did it to her when she was younger." "I can see him in my room exactly the way it was when I was in elementary school,&#8221; Casey wrote.

UPDATED: Casey Anthony: Casey Anthony talked about Caylee in jail letters; she confided there is no Zenaida Gonzalez
posted by halboedeker on April, 6 2010 4:27 PM
<snipped>
Later, Kealing reported that Anthony confided there was no Zenaida Gonzalez, the nanny who supposedly took care of Caylee. And Anthony wrote that she used chloroform to help Caylee sleep when the toddler had trouble nodding off, WESH reported.

Kealing highlighted these passages:

***&#8221;I&#8217;ve had to forgive what happened to my Caylee, but I&#8217;m still angry,&#8221; Anthony writes.


***&#8221;I was a great mom,&#8221; she wrote.

***&#8221;I loved my daughter with everything I have,&#8221; she wrote.

*** In one of the stranger passages, she talks about wanting to adopt a child from Ireland.

***Casey used the nickname &#8220;Cays&#8221; for her daughter and said talks to the child through the day.

WFTV highlighted that Casey said her mother, Cindy, called her a and accused her of lying.

Other documents released today provided insight into Krystal Holloway &#8212; who&#8217;s also known as River Cruz. Holloway said she befriended George Anthony and spent hours with her, but the relationship never turned sexual, WFTV&#8217;s Jeff Deal reported. Holloway says that George confided that Caylee&#8217;s death was an accident that snowballed out of control.

&#8220;But George never told her what the accident was,&#8221; Deal said. &#8220;He even relayed a story where he yelled at Casey, saying, &#8216;I know you killed her. What did you do with her?&#8217; Then he choked Casey and Cindy had to pull him off.&#8221;

A security guard at Holloway&#8217;s gated community supported her story that George regularly visited, Deal added.

Inmates: Anthony would drug daughter for sleep
Updated: Wednesday, 07 Apr 2010, 10:24 AM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 06 Apr 2010, 11:00 PM EDT
<snipped>
A jail inmate claims Casey Anthony would sometimes use drugs to put her daughter to sleep so that she could go out with friends, according to documents released Tuesday. A second inmate says the woman would use antihistamines on the toddler.

Maya Derkovic told detectives she was friendly with Casey in the Orange County Jail and that the 24-year-old mother confided in her about drugging her daughter so she could go out, according to a partial transcript the inmate's interview with investigators. The transcript, along with other documents, was released by the State Attorney's Office in Orlando.

A spokeswoman for Anthony's legal team didn't immediately respond to an e-mail and phone call.

Not long after remains of 2-year-old Caylee were found in December 2008, Anthony told fellow inmate Robyn Adams that investigators found the bones in a black garbage bag with a baby blanket.

That last detail &#8212; the baby blanket &#8212; wasn't public knowledge at the time.

"Casey Anthony had knowledge of items only the suspect, certain law enforcement personnel and the certain medical examiner's personnel knew," an Orange County sheriff's detective wrote in a report that was among more than 500 pages released Tuesday.

Other details in Anthony's letters included:

&#8226;Her crush on one of the attorneys in Baez's law firm.

"Baez=my other papa/super close friend; Jose G. = my school girl crush," she wrote, referring to attorney Jose Garcia.

&#8226;Her sometimes difficult relationship with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.

"They show their &#8216;support' for the sake of the cameras, but when it comes to the &#8216;real story' I'm alone. . . I have a non-existent relationship with two of the most important people in the world to me, and it's to the point where I don't even want to bother."

UPDATED: Casey Alleges Family Abuse, Chloroform Use In Jail Letters
Wednesday, April 07, 2010 9:04:07 AM
<snipped>
In one letter, Casey wrote B-E-T-R-A-Y-A-L to describe her feelings about her mother. Casey wrote that she felt Cindy cares more about the national publicity than about her own daughter.

Casey and Adams had an agreement to flush the letters after reading them. But as Casey was writing the letters to Adams, Adams was forwarding them to another person for safekeeping. &#8220;This may be my only way out of prison sooner than my expected term. I only want to come home," Adams wrote to her friend, Tracy.

In that same letter, Robyn wrote "the only real question is: is there any useful information in those letters than can be used to convict her with murder?"

Anthony Family Denies Abuse Allegations
The Anthony family denies that there was any improper sexual behavior in their family nor was there ever a time when Casey told them of sexually inappropriate conduct by her brother or father.

Brad Conway, Anthony family attorney

Defense Response To Casey Anthony's Written Correspondence
The letters released today reflect the natural desire for companionship when isolated for 23 hours a day, and clearly demonstrate Casey's unconditional love for her daughter Caylee. Despite these intentions, it is obvious in the letters authored by Robyn Adams that her sole purpose and only goal in corresponding with Casey Anthony was to create &#8220;leverage to get out of prison early.&#8221; Furthermore, despite numerous inaccurate media reports, the letters written by Casey Anthony do not contain a single reference to chloroform or any admissions of guilt. Casey Anthony maintains her innocence and looks forward to her day in court.

-Liz Brown at the DePaul Center for Justice in Capital Cases

Jail Letters Provide Peek At Anthony's Life Behind Bars

Defense attorney Richard Hornsby said the biggest shocker in the letters were Anthony's claims that she was sexually abused by her brother, Lee Anthony, and her father, George Anthony.

Hornsby said if Casey Anthony sticks to they story, they could face charges.

Horsnby also said if she's convicted of killing her daughter, Caylee Anthony, Casey Anthony's claims that she was abused could save her own life.

"That is huge. If a jury were to hear that, it's almost impossible a jury would ever impose a death penalty on her -- if that was true," Hornsby said.

Letters written between Casey Anthony and another jail inmate indicated the two were able to exchange their writings through a library.

The letters were written between Anthony and inmate Robyn Adams. Adams talked with investigators and a friend of hers at length about the specifics behind the transfers.

"One recommendation before I close this off for today. Read "God in Popular Culture" by Andrew M. Greenly. I think I will slide the next note in there," Anthony wrote.

According to the letters, Anthony was disgusted by her parents' behavior.

In one letter, Anthony wrote about how her mother failed to show up for one of her court hearings last year.

"Turns out she meets with Meredith Vieira, formerly of the View ... She's not well enough to take advantage of seeing me in person on Friday but can schmooze with dirtbags the next day," Anthony wrote.

In another letter, Anthony claimed her mother was looking to capitalize on Caylee Anthony's death.

UPDATED: Did Casey Know Something Only Killer Would Know?
Wednesday, April 07, 2010 3:45:35 PM
<snipped>
A defense attorney said Casey Anthony said too much to a jailhouse pen pal. Meanwhile, there are new questions about whether Anthony knew details about the crime scene that only investigators and only Caylee&#8217;s killer would know.

Typically inmates are not very credible. They're convicted felons, who are serving jail time, and many look for ways to lighten their own sentences. However, investigators have called one inmate truthful and forthright. You can&#8217;t refute the letters as they are, in fact, written by Anthony.

"Casey was telling her everything,&#8221; said Will Jay, a legal analyst. &#8220;The state can introduce her statements against her, but the defense just can't introduce her own statements that's hearsay."

Jay said it's not in writing, and the defense could discredit her and other inmates talking. "Would she be making this up the stuff Casey didn&#8217;t write to her and would she even have the ability to know what was important to make up? How long was she in jail? Would she even known chloroform was an important part of the case," Jay said.

Defense Will Not Receive Volunteer&#8217;s Taped Interview
Anthony's defense team won't get a taped interview from a volunteer who helped search for Caylee. When an investigator with the defense interviewed Joe Jordan, Jordan secretly recorded it, which is against the law in Florida.

Casey Anthony: Is statement about baby blanket and garbage bag key?
posted by halboedeker on April, 7 2010 1:09 PM
<snipped>
WESH-Channel 2, WKMG-Channel 6 and WFTV-Channel 9 focused on one strand of the voluminous information released Tuesday: Convicted drug deal Robyn Adams told investigators that Anthony said a child&#8217;s remains were found with a baby blanket inside a black garbage bag.

Casey made the statement &#8220;long before that information was made public,&#8221; WKMG&#8217;s Tony Pipitone reported.

The stations studied Anthony&#8217;s supposed reactions to a false report about bones being found at Blanchard Park. Adams said Anthony giggled over that report, Kealing reported.

Pipitone focused on Adams&#8217; comment that Anthony said: &#8220;They&#8217;re not looking in the right place. It&#8217;s right in their face.&#8221; A month later, the toddler&#8217;s bones were found in the woods near the Anthony home.

The stations had concentrated on Anthony&#8217;s letters yesterday, but turned to Adams&#8217; comments today.

Casey Anthony defense won&#8217;t get illegally recorded interview with searcher
3:01 p.m. EDT, April 7, 2010
<snipped>
Defense attorneys had asked Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland for access to an illegally made recording by Joe Jordan, a member of Texas EquuSearch who assisted in a search for missing 2-year-old Caylee Marie Anthony in 2008.

Jordan recorded a conversation he had with his lawyer and an investigator for the defense team. He later turned the recording over to law enforcement.

In a three-page ruling today, Strickland wrote order that the defense can use Jordon's statement to investigators but cannot have access to his illegal recording.

The illegal recording statement is of no more value that what Jordan told detectives, Strickland ruled.
