Hi Macushla. I have to ask, would you want your guilt presumed before ALL the FACTS are in and to feel you have no choice but to make a plea to something regardless of whether you did it or not out of fear you will be punished worse if you don't? I know more than one person that was completely innocent but felt they had no choice. You wouldn't want to be in that position, I'm sure.
As for Tim M. you said,
I have heard both versions and we won't know the answer until we see video or a photo, if there is any. One of the things LE has to try and find out is when that bag was placed there. Tim Miller was someone who saw that area at various times and can give LE info on when it was flooded, how deep was the flooding, was THIS particular area flooded and did TES search this particular area for a certain period of time. So in a way, Tim is an eye witness - not of the crime, but of the crime scene and how it may have looked at various times. That is why I think Tim was allowed behind the 'tape', he was the best person to help them determine what was going on in that area in regards to water, etc.
What reason do you have to presume I am making this up, lying? What have I done to be presumed guilty? If I make a statement as fact, I know it is. If I say I think, I believe, IMO, it looks to me, or any other similar prefix, then I am open to changing my mind because I don't have all the facts yet. For example, my opinions on the ID times is my opinion, based on my particular type of knowledge, but still opinion. What I saw for the 18th might be something different, such as the investigation taking a new direction that it has in the past, as an alternative.
Here is the link.
http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/MyFox/pages/sidebar_video.jsp?contentId=8075244&version=1&locale=EN-US The first question is why did LE give him access to the site. Next, where did he go, what did he see. He describes seeing the indentation under the palmetto bush and dead grass toward the end. He'd have to be fairly close to see that kind of detail. He said the same on the Geraldo show.
Now, I suppose Tim could be making this up to get media coverage or to get at LP, but I hope not and doubt that. How could the defense team coming in there, taking photos before it was tore up, etc, interfere with the investigation any more than taking Tim in there? Neither interferes, IMO. The motivation might be to make a lot of money on their own photos. Close to $1000 for the last discovery package? Unbelievable. They should have a right to all of it without charge. It costs very little, especially with digital format. She has a constitutional right to that information but I heard the prosecutor in court yesterday say, it will be up to their discretion what photos they allow defense to see. I don't understand that at all. Maybe I'm missing something.
Nancy, I apologize where I misunderstood. I agree with most of what you said. I think you are misunderstanding what I said about the woman sifting soil, though. I certainly wasn't judging her qualifications. I have no way of knowing that. I was judging what I saw. Anyone can get sidetracked, some more than others. My point was, she is no more qualified than the defense team anthropologist. And, her motivation
might[/bold] very well be prejudiced, like many posting on this sight.

There was another I saw with the same women but I've spent too much time today going through everything I've looked at in the last several days, and haven't found it yet.
Spangle, are you positive no LE would have motive to want the evidence to support their view or might not overlook something that doesn't fit their preconceived notion or not follow up on something for the same reason? I've read too many stories to believe this isn't possible. I've seen a document from a state forensic lab with a cut and paste shadow line photocopied and used in court. This shadow divided the stated evidence/test result from the ID of the person charged. So I know it is possible to have corruption within the system. Prison industries is big business and provides a lot of jobs. I read recently they want to build a number of new prisons there. And, I highly doubt there isn't at least one official in Florida that will lie. It seems to me one of their own was recently fired and is connected to this suspect.
Yes, someone is guilty of this horrible thing. But, for my own conscience, if I were on the jury, I would want to know that both sides had an even shot at all the evidence. The prosecutor has already said in the last hearing it will be up to their discretion what photos they hand over. The defense, if they stick with Casey as their suspect, needs everything if they are going to do the best job possible.
