Sean K Interview

[MAMABEAR]

Seems like I have seen these emails. Will have to ask Beans bout it. She members stuff bettern me. LOL

But even so, if I receive an email from you and forward to somebody else----all I have to do is change the wording before I hit "send".

Here's the page wherein Krause admits, imo, he made up the "quote" he attributed to CA in his blog. I'm the exact opposite of a CA fan, but it didn't make sense at the time that she'd say this to him, of all people, and when called on the carpet by LE, he admitted it didn't happen. Who knows which is the truth with this guy? Please read the both pages because it's repeated over and over but here's an exchange beginning on page 8, line 23, through page 9, line 9 that pretty much tells the story:

23 SK All she did was, all she did was, was, was remain quiet.
....

1 YM So it's what she didn't say rather than what she did. When you, when
2 you asked here [sic] specifically you know whether she had something to
3 do with Caylee's death her not answering that was basically her, you
4 know her not denying that was basically her saying yeah I think so, is
5 that pretty much, do I understand that?
6 SK Right.
7 YM Okay.
8 SK Right. I, I, and, and I, you know anybody remains quiet I, I, I look at
9 that as an admission of guilt.

Now, use your own reasoning, of course, but to me, remaining silent doesn't equate the quote attributed to her.

PS: It really, truly annoys me to be put in the position of sticking up for CA. I've told myself I'm sticking up for the truth but I am still annoyed.

Jane covered the case last night. She explained more about Sean K.'s role. Previous posts about Sean K. have been remvoed my mods. However, this is a transcript that aired on public television so hopefully it won't get deleted. Here is a snippet from the transcripts:

6/12/09

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, shocking revolutions as a key witness in the Casey Anthony case is speaking out from beyond the grave, believe it or not. The latest massive evidence dump contains almost a thousand pages of just-released evidence. It includes a word-for-word sworn statement to police made by a crime blogger who died of cancer in February.

In an article entitled, "Cindy`s Confession, Part Two," the now-dead blogger said that more than a month before the child`s decomposed remains were found, Cindy told him she suspected her daughter had something to do with little Caylee`s disappearance.

Quote, "When I spoke to her on that particular day, it was the first time that she agreed that she actually really believed that her daughter actually did something to Caylee," end quote.

The blogger said Cindy also sent e-mails telling him she had scoop for his blog. She later denied doing that. Cindy would stick to her denial again during a depo in that Zanny the nanny case.

I have to say that when someone reports, I took silence to be an admission of something, it causes me to question that person's integrity. There could very well be truth and non truth mixed in here together. I assume, since Kathi B also received e-mails from Cindy (Cindy says these were hacked) that there may be some truth in there, especially given the fact that Kathi forwarded e-mails to the FBI. I am sure LE has the e-mails "in question" by now and hopefully someday soon we may know the answers. I do not put it past the A camp to make up a drug connection scenario using Casey's friends as players and passing this off to media for distribution on the evening news. There was an e-mail from Cindy prior to the spreadsheet saying she had something for him to report on Monday...The emails sent from Shirley's computer bothers me the most and I guess LE knows if that has happened by now. Again, wouldn't surprise me a bit...

Exactly; and no way to know which is truth; which is deliberate fiction; which is mistaken fiction. I'm sorry, because I know some thought of lot of SK, but the fact that Kathi B. got email doesn't indicate to me one way or another whether SK got the same email. He could have just jumped on the bandwagon when it was reported it happened to Kathi B. and again, considering the narcotics he was likely forced to take regularly, may have legitimately gotten confused. IIRC, he told LE that his email regarding the 'scoop' was sent only to him and he interpreted or indicated it was a 'scoop' for him to use on Monday. It wouldn't be a 'scoop' if it went out to everyone else. IIRC, Kathi B. was on a media list that got the email; it wasn't sent individually to her.

Same thing with SP's ip; until it's corroborated by another source, I can't accept it as fact. As you wrote, I too expect LE has a handle on this already and knows the truth of these matters.

Anyway, since imo, everything in that depo has to be corroborated, it's kind of a waste of time. But, I did d/l it and am now converting it to make it searchable and will try to find the specific page for everyone to review.

ibyoungr did an excellent summary on page 1 but I don't think there were specific page(s) listed for the email discussion in the depo. Will let you know what I find.

PS: Looks like it starts, for the main discussion of it, on page 12. I'll review and get back with you.

OK so with SK now deceased and unable to testify one way or another I have to wonder how much of his interview could be used.....What struck me in that interview is this......"I can see the IP addresses of who has visted the site." as well as "I checked and it was from SP's (Mount Dora) IP.". Now I have never professed to be more than an average computer user....but I DO KNOW that you can fake an IP address with the right know how. I will not assume that CA sent anything to SK via Mom's computer, nor will I rule out someone else sending SK e-mail (with or without spreadsheets) and trying to make it look like it came from a related party. For the record.......I have never been an A-team supporter, but knowing people who are extremely literate in the computer field, I know there is always the possibility that someone sent an e-mail to SK and made it appear to have come from the A-team. Do I think CA put together a spreadsheet of KC's friends and their recreational habits???? No, not really, because from what KC had told her friends....her mom was crazy. Would these parties with that knowledge coupled with any personal secrets (such as drug use) actually divulge that to her??? Think about it.............in their shoes.......with the mass confusion about what was really going on...........would you admit to ANYTHING???? My guess is "no". There are so many possibilities. For instance......get info about parties that could be later be discredited in court based upon drug usage to those likely to turn info over to police. I don't think for one minute CA would (based on her behavior) admit KC was hanging with druggies. Something eludes us here. The question......what and / or who?

I dunno.. CA held up a thick ring binder on TV, once, and said she had tracked down and was documenting umpty-ump (I forgot the number.. four figures) various Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales.

She might have done something as whacked as a spread sheet. With made-up data.

On the other hand.. we heard it all from one of the same ilk. Most of those people trip over their ever-lengthening noses.

BTW-- What was his FIRST language? It wasn't English. Unless "um" is a word.

This may mean nothing, but I'm trying. I actually went and looked at the 'confession' blog and SK wrote the ip of the alleged sender of the alleged email as being: 65.41.22.59

While it may have changed since he allegedly checked it and it traced back to "Ocola" [sic] (most likely Ocala) it now traces back to Winter Park, Florida. It is, however, as he suggested, an Embarq ip.

In addition, Kathi B. says she got 4 emails on Friday; in SK's depo he says he got 6 and in his blog he says they came on Saturday. Sorry, no linking to the blog but here's a link to a WFTV article about Kathi's receipt:

There are actually two stories at that link. To see the earlier story, just scroll down.

I have a quesiton about the IP address info. If a person knew enough about computers to trace an IP address and figure out whose computer an e-mail was sent from, would it be possible for this person to create/send e-mails that appear to be from a specific person's computer if they knew what the IP address was? Could this guy have figured out what the IP addresses were for CA, GA, LA, or SP by sending "innocent" forewards to them to obtain the IP and then create/send "bombhell" information to himself? Sorry if this goes off topic, but I am NOT very good with computers.

IMO, not necessarily. I traced the ip but wouldn't know the first thing about forging ip's on email. Also, in SK's depo, iirc, he indicated he had friends, one in LE, that helped with tracking this type of info. Being a blogger, he likely had followers that would help him but who knows the depth of their knowledge and whether or not they'd want to admit it, if you kwim. My understanding is that real hackers (not that I know any; just repeating what I've heard) don't want others to know about their skills, for the most part. Conversely, folks that brag about their hacking skills likely don't have much in the way of hacking skill. Kind of along the lines of 'those who can do.' But I could be totally wrong on this, again, just what I've heard/read. And so far, those who have bragged, in my experience, failed to deliver.

Bolded by me. Thank you for searching this Lin. The WFTV article contained an interesting comment that I had forgotten, but now wonder if the defense document's Kathi speaks of might be this spreadsheet ?

But over the Thanksgiving weekend, she says someone broke through the boundaries in a more underhanded way, by somehow getting into her Yahoo email account, gaining access to her messages and even confidential documents pertaining to her daughter Casey's defense and sending them out posing as Cindy.

Folks, please don't put a lot of stock into whatever was said by SK. He may have even less credibility than the A's, imo. I'm sure y'all caught that in his interview where he basically admits he made stuff up for his blog. CA didn't really say what he quoted; he just "read" her because he can "read people" you know. In fact, throughout the transcript LE refers to items he wrote and iirc, he pretty much explains that most of it was not real. It really, really bothered me at the time and hasn't lessened much with time's passage how ZFG gave him that interview that CA wanted because he promised to put a link on his site for folks to donate to her and her hungry children. Instead, he totally humiliated and slandered her, imo, taking advantage of a very desperate woman.

For a bit more detail, here is most of a post I made in the original thread:

However, my comments, I hope, fall more under defense of ZFG. More importantly, I want to caution those who may be unfamiliar and can actually get through the 'um, uh, um' and other gibberish; and who can suspend disbelief long enough to get through how he 'reads people' and makes up answers for them when they remain silent. IMO, this guy has/had less than zero credibility; maybe even less than the A's. So please take anything from that depo with a huge box of salt.

In fact, I read the first couple of pages and realized what a waste of time it was because I can't believe anything he says. As if what I just wrote wasn't enough, please consider that this person trashed ZFG on his website and claims to LE in this depo that he 'busted her as a liar' because he read a docket of a civil case that may have been her and saw there was a SS filing. He assumed that meant she was collecting social security disability payments and further 'read into it' that she must have been working under the table and so on and so on. Well, the truth of that matter is that back when this case was filed, it was a requirement of the court that a specific document, 'Notice of filing Social Security Number' had to be filed in domestic cases. It had zero to do with disability or collecting payments. He 'read that into it' and branded this poor woman a scammer and a liar.

That's an excellent example of this guy's reporting overall; making up answers to replace silence; making up contents of documents loosely based on the abbreviated title, rather than reading them to see what they were, no matter how much it slandered an innocent person, imo.

Oh my. I just read this guy's statement to LE. It was very difficult to get through and now I'm wondering why I wasted my time. He wrote better than he spoke, but I wasn't crazy about his style of writing in the first place. Only read a few of his columns, including the one where he said he was taking a break from writing and going for more cancer treatments. I didn't realize he had died until I read this thread.

I did read his blog about Cindy's "e-mails" and how they had a disagreement. I don't doubt what he said about Cindy being afraid to get too chummy. I'm wondering why she did. I would have been reluctant to buddy up with a guy who was as sharp-tongued as he.

What upset me about his LE statement were his comments about ZG. Thank you, lin, for clearing it up. While reading his comments about her, I wondered, if true, how could her attorney, JM, have missed all that? Didn't sound like JM to me. Obviously, JM DID do his homework, but SK didn't.

If um you know um you kinda um you know get my um you know drift. :crazy:

This entire case is running rampant with ums, uhs, and mmmms. It boggles the mind.

OK so with SK now deceased and unable to testify one way or another I have to wonder how much of his interview could be used.....

Why couldn't it be used? It's testimony from the grave, unless he had reason to lie. Often testimony of domestic abuse victims is used to convict their perps because they've been murdered, such as, "if I'm found dead, so and so did it to me". Or depos are taken of witnesses who are critically ill and not expected to live until the trial.

I live in Illinois. Not much for following politics or the news, but I'm great for catching little tid-bits here and there...Didn't my state recently pass a bill or whatever allowing the "dead to speak" in dirrect responce to the infamous "Drew Peterson" case. Allowing testimony from wife #3 who told any and everybody she came into contact with the last few months of her life that if she were to be found dead "DREW DID IT".?
