S.A. Concerned Defense will Sell Pics of Caylee's Remains

  • #341
I think the Orlando Sentinel article is very clear about who has profited. When you think about it, where did the pictures and videos of Caylee originate to begin with? They were privately owned by her family - George, Cindy, Lee, and Casey. These were family pictures taken from the day of Caylee's birth onward. We know that the video of Caylee reading to her great-grandfather at the assisted care facility on Father's Day, was taken by Cindy. Permission for the media to use those pictures and videos, could only come from the Anthony family.

Much Earlier, when George and Cindy first appeared on GMA, there was a discussion of who profited from the images shown. A third party - an agency, who arranges interviews with people, also handles payment for licensing pictures and videos. GMA or Dateline, or any other program of that type, pays the agency.

Technically, a person can deny that they were paid by GMA, and GMA can deny they paid the person for images, because both parties went through a third party, an agency, who handles the scheduling and payments.

Isn't that what Larry Garrison was for? And, doesn't Todd Black work for an entertainment agency.
Dateline and the Today Show are NBC and it was over $6,000.00 from NBC that got LG fired.
GMA and 20/20 are ABC/Disney and isn't Disney where GA got a job?
:rolleyes:

T. Black's name does keep popping up over and over, doesn't it?! He is still considered the "spokesperson" for Baez in an article as recent as December 17th. He even sent out a press release.

High life? Really? Because it was my understanding that their beloved granddaughter was dead, her skeletal remains rotting in a cardboard box, and their daughter is sitting in jail awaiting trial for murder and could possibly face the death penalty. Doesn't really seem like the "high life" to me...

Just to play Devil's Advocate here, it is my understanding that while Cindy and George were waiting on Caylee's remains to be identified they were staying at the $400-$800 a night Ritz Carlton hotel and dining at Norman's Restaurant in Orlando where two people cannot dine for less than $100.00 on the average. During this same period of time I am also under the impression Cindy signed a book deal. I would have to dig deeper to confirm that last tidbit, but I am sure someone here knows whether they in fact actually inked the deal already or not.

The point I think many people here have been making for many months now is that one normally doesn't rush out to a luxury hotel, and spend your evenings dining in fancy restaurants while your daughter sits in jail accused of your grandchild's murder. Not to mention they were awaiting the DNA testings results on her corpse at the time. Most reasonable people would agree that Haute Cuisine just isn't a priority under these circumstances. Food would taste like ash in my mouth under similar circumstances. I know for a fact that when a beloved family member is missing the VERY LAST THING you think about is food, and certainly not where you can get dinner reservations for the evening.

This in and of itself would be baffling enough, but add to that their recent state of financial lack prior to Caylee's disappearance and the whole situation becomes even more distasteful. At the very least they have made some very, very, poor choices in regards to the money they have been paid and/or received through charitable donations.

I myself become physically ill at the thought of profiting one red cent off of the murder of ANYONE in my family. In my eyes, it's all "blood money" any way you look at it. I have certainly never seen genuinely grieving family members behave in the manner I have seen these people react and behave no matter how you slice it. I am not without empathy for their plight, but I do not confuse my empathy for respect.

I, for one am thrilled the Prosecution is taking steps to prevent the Defense from releasing/selling any of the heartbreaking photographs taken of little Caylee's remains. This child deserves what little dignity we can continue to give her. She does not deserve to be violated in this manner as well. I also agree with keeping all photos and evidence within the Jurisdiction of the Court and off the Internet. In this way there can be no "Oops! It was the Evil Hackers on Teh Interweb!!" smokescreens by the defense, and any hanky panky that the Defense tries to get away with will be within the long reach of the Court.

Enough is enough, in my opinion.

The Caylee Marie Anthony Meal Ticket Train is out of service!! :furious:

yes but people were cropping and enlarging and circling parts of the photo that they thought was her skull..they were searching for it...and for what? we know it was caylee, so why the interest in trying to see her skull in those photos other than to say, oh hey, that's her skull.

i don't know, i thought that entire thread (with the exception of the book find) was all about being a lookie-loo.
were you a lookie-loo also? or only the ones commenting? Just sayin...
pot/kettle?

I say that the SA should tell the defense they can have and sell the pictures but only if kc gets the death penalty. That way, photos of her can be taken while she's taking her last breath, and then more pictures of her as she lays there dead. Think of how much money that will bring!!! The proceeds can be put into a fund for a "mother of the year award" only it would go to someone TRULY worthy of the title. :bang: (/end sarcasm)

Correct. I believe all the networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., each have their own agency that arranges guests for programs and handles payments. But other entities, TB's agency or LG, could have been the liaison with those agencies.
 
  • #347
I understand the SA and I think they did the right thing. The defense however, will be entitled to take their own photos of the remains so I don't really believe that an order limiting reproduction of the photos is going to prevent them from being shopped around. The defense and their "experts" are going to profit off of this case in some way. IMO the dream team has an ulterior motive to this "pro bono" case.

I was thinking that yesterday while they were talking about why the second autopsy has not been done. So, the defense will have their own pictures to sell as well. How sad. The state said that Baez/Anthony's made a 6 figure income on the previous videos/photo's of a live Caylee. I guess now we can assume that this so called "Dream Team" is not working pro-bono. I wonder, if Casey does get charged and the Anthony's would they have to pay that money back? :confused:

Everyone handles tragedy in their own way. Who are we to judge what is the correct way to grieve for a granddaughter? I in no way am trying to offend people who are able to go back to work sooner after a tragedy. But on the same token I'm not going to dictate when CA is ready to return to work. She has a media circus outside her house, her granddaughter is dead, and her daughter is in jail. I don't think I'm out of line to think that the woman deserves a little empathy.

Yet we never saw her shed a single tear (just like KC). Empathy? How can you empathize with a woman who says "I didn't give them the wrong hairbrush, I just gave them one that wasn't used JUST for Caylee."? Who (no this hasn't been substantiated except by an eyewitness) says "I should have given them the toothbrush that I use for the dogs"? Who has tried so desperately to defend her daughter that she may be facing charges herself and defended her daughter so much that her granddaughter's fate doesn't even phase that support?

I guess the A's are now going to stand to the end on "the nanny did it" theory?

By the way, being ready to return to work and needing to go back to work are entirely different things! I can't imagine ANYONE being "ready", EVER....the A's just have the luxury of not "needing" to go back to work because of the $$$$$ THEY HAVE MADE FROM CAYLEE!!!

Makes me sick to the ends of the Earth! :puke::puke::puke:

ooooooooooh! That's good! Maybe if someone put it in that perspective to the A's that darling KC would end up on the cover of a tabloid with the needle in her arm, foaming at the mouth and DEAD they would see how disgusting it would be to profit from the death of another (family member or not)!!

By the way - they were such "church-going folks" for a few weeks while KC was on house arrest. I'd be interested to know if they have continued to attend church or if they only went so churches in general would allow them to hold their weekly "vigil" ceremonies? It is difficult for me to believe that any true Christian would take one cent for personal gain over the death of another. I betcha they don't go to church any more and that was part of the big A theatre! IMO if anyone needs to attend religious ceremony at this time it is THEM!

I am also willing to bet that JG's family has fathoms of photos of Caylee in her infancy yet we have only seen one or two of those photos! Have they gone out and tried to make $$$ off of what they have? NO! And that family isn't even related by blood to Caylee!

Yes they appeared on some shows and did a few interviews but they were tastefully done (IMO) and the financial gain was most likely minimal. I also do not think that the G's did those interviews for financial gain - more likely to clear the air about any involvement of JG.

Please note the above states "IMO, most likely, I do not think, and likely". This wording is to show that this is my opinion and not substantiated by any FACT or LINK - just my own common sense and memory!

I can understand that Cindy A. would want to hold out for hope..nothing wrong with that at I all. Most did.
What I find wrong it that they have all lied since day one.
A 6 figure gain was received for a videos and pictures of a live Caylee.
As far as I know, TES never received any money from the Anthony's.
All the money donated to kid-finders went where? They sold the Caylee t-shirts and the flyer's were mostly donated. I don't see where any of these moneys that have been gained helped Caylee in anyway. I can assume now that is how Casey can afford her so called "Dream Team".

I agree with Turbo: They collected money, lied, obstructed the investigation and nothing else that I can see.

They are living the "high life" on Caylee's blood money as compared to where they were prior to July 15th. They were getting ready to be living in their cars, because their home was being foreclosed on and they were being sued by their creditors. (by CA own testimony in court)

I really don't know about that. I only followed that case on the surface. That was the first time I ever saw a family as evil as their evil spawn. I didn't realize people could be like that. I guess that was preparation for this one.

The SP's were a revelaition to me:eek: Never thought I'd see another family like that one but the A's have exceeded expectations.

To keep this on topic sort of. From todays daily update thread;;;

"As a PR person who specializes in dealing with high profile people in high profile criminal cases you can't ask for more," says Glenn Selig, founder of The Publicity Agency (http://www.thepublicityagency.com). "This is like covering the big story as a reporter. These are the very cases you want to be associated with."

Isn't that special? Everyone is so pleased to be getting something out of this.:mad:

Its none of my business when people go back to work,but I have to agree with you. When we had a horrible death in my family, my job gave me one week off for the funeral, thats it. I had to work the whole time it was going on, or we would have lost OUR house. We had 2 tiny kids and my husband was in college. My sister worked for the same company, took tons of time off, and they would not hold her position for her. They told her they would find her another position but you know how that goes. So right, not everyone can stay off work as long as they please.Money has to come from SOMEWHERE, it is ridiculous to think they aren't getting any.

:clap::clap::clap::clap: Karma........karma will show at their door in karma's timeframe and not before.

If CA thought turning 50 was bad, HA ...... wait till she turns 60, then she will really get it. And no, CA ya can't turn the hands of time back for a do-over. You have to live within yourself with what you have done in the past.

I wish I knew how to create one of those videos where an image suddenly jumps out and scares the pants off the person who's studying it. I could have made even more friends on this forum :crazy:

I'm kind of late to this thread but OMG that is hilarious!
 
  • #359
I wouldn't put anything past the As. It now appears obvious that 1 or more of them were selling Caylee photos very shortly after her "kidnapping". Has anyone ever heard of this before? What grieving family thinks of doing this? Has anyone else ever known a family that didn't voluntarily give the press as many photos/videos etc of their kids for "FREE", just because they want the child found, not even thinking about money. Anyone else ever see a kidnapping victim's family selling pics to the press before the person was found before? I can't think of anything more disgraceful than what has happened to her pics and what they have been used for, to defend the person who killed her.


Not sure if this has been posted before, but this site offers viewers the ability to sign a petition regarding the following:

From: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/caylees-law--a-law-to-protect-children

"Caylee's Law- A law to protect Children

Sponsored by: Diana
Caylee's Law is so that no parent or family member of a missing or murdered child can profit in any form. This includes, sales of video, pictures, etc. also included is movies, books, magazine, tabloid or any other form of media.

Caylee's Law should also include a specific timeline that is required for a parent, caregiver is required to report the child missing to Law Enforcement.

This petition is for your ideas of what we can include in Caylees Law and when complete will be forwarded to The congress and Senate for endorsement."

I don't think 'selling the pics' in this case means shopping them around on the internet, ect. Nothing that crass. I think the worry is them showing up in future books as illustrations or in slide shows during public presentations. (Didn't Laci's photos get used for this by a certain well known Dr?)

My thoughts, exactly. :clap:
