The Letters and the Secret Evidence

[suepitzl]

1. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by an inmate in the Florida
Department of Correction, who stated that she had communications with the
Defendant while in the Orange County Jail.
2. That inmate was interviewed on or about the 22nd day of January 2010 and
relayed potentially relevant statements by the Defendant, which are not in the
nature of a confession, and gave the name of another inmate who also had
communication with the Defendant.
3. The second inmate, presently incarcerated in Federal Prison, was interviewed
on or about the 27th day of January 2010 and reluctantly confirmed
communication with the Defendant adding that she had received approximately
fifty written communications from the Defendant which were then in the
possession of another individual whose identity was provided to the Orange
County Sheriffs Office.
4. The Orange County Sheriffs Office contacted the named individual, confirmed
the existence of these documents and took possession of the originals.
5. The undersigned and co-counsels have examined the documents and they do
appear to contain relevant statements of the Defendant, which are not in the
nature of a confession.

TRIXI491......................according to the article, as I understand it, they are UNSEALED

Correct. However, they will not be released to the public until JB has had a chance to review and file any motions. JS gave him 15 days.

Maybe she is trting to work out her protection early in the game..

i know but he said the defense can file a motion to seal them if they believe the release will hurt their client (which im assuming it will). he also said the media will be able to argue their case in favor of having them released to the public. i guess my question was do you think the judge will more likely side with the defense or media on this one (if the defense files a motion to not have them released)?

so then, anybody have any idea where to start sleuthing female prisoners who were sentenced to federal incarceration from that county during the relevant time frame? may be interesting while we have at least 15 days to kill to see what crimes or personality types may be involved...

Communications between Anthony and other inmates are expected to be released Thursday afternoon.

What??? Is this not what the judge gave Baez 15 days on today? Or is WESH wrong?

Imate Anthony is on probation. Part of that is to not have contact with other felons. I understand she's in prison but writting letters to another inmate has to be against the probation limitiations set...he can withdraw that probation and convert it into doing that time, as well...

I'm guessing all of this correspondence occurred prior to her pleading guilty to the check fraud charges. If so, would that still be considered a violation of her parole? :waitasec:

i have a theory on who this might be. am i allowed to say? this inmate was also in protective custody at the orange county jail and sentenced to federal prison in october 2009 but appears the transfer actually took place sometime later.

I don't see why not. If they've been convicted, it's public record.

certainly JS will seal them if the defense requests it. dont get me wrong, I like knowing all this ahead of time but when the state asked for a gag order the defense should never have argued against it!

I dont know if they "hurt the case" cause it would all come out at trial and when the jury sees it all...however, with all we know I do think it will be difficult to seat a jury.

I *thought* this was what was being referred to in court today. I'm confused now. :waitasec:

I guess not... snipped from the article

"Judge Stan Strickland gave the state 30 days to investigate the relevancy of claims made by another inmate in the case against Casey Anthony.

The 30-day delay ended the same morning of Anthony's indigency hearing."


I'm confused too..

 

[78gidget78]

i think maybe this one because 1.) she was also in protective custody 2.) she might have a better chance of getting a "fellow officer" to deliver messages

Wow. I am shocked. I had not heard that she had developed any ties/friendships inside. I envisioned her not making friends/associates because of what she is accused of. It has always been my impression that people who are incarcerated for crimes against children were not thought highly of even by society's lowest of the lowest (the criminal set). If she was that stupid as to memorialize anything incriminating in writing I would jump for joy. Please let her have been that dumb, please.

So when do we find out the content of the correspondence? Content Content I want content.

BBM.

That's true, but she hasn't been convicted yet. I'm sure many inmates have been following the case and are aware that the SA would appreciate more evidence. And since most inmates have nothing to do but stew and try to concoct schemes to get time shaved off their sentences, it sounds like this was a planned entrapment (not that I have a problem with that at all :angel. Sort of like: 'Here, Warden, I got her to confess/implicate herself. Now let's talk about a deal.' It happens all the time.

Every single thing Casey wrote in those letters was MEANT to be seen. She knew this would happen, and it's exactly what she wanted. It's 50 pages of b.s., sprinkled every so often with a name drop here, or a name drop there. Wouldn't surpise me in the least if Kronk, OTown's Finest, or even any number of G's girlfriends came up. Which would have me guessing that Dom, Lee, C & G have long been filtering information to and from Casey...and this is what LE's been investigating??

Yes, that'd be the smart thing to do, but do you really think she's that clever?

I tend to think this has more to do with her insatiable need for attention.

 

[SuziQ]

I think the judge ruled on sealing info in regards to JB and teams billings payments and stuff, not the letter, but I could be wrong?

 

[cyberborg]

IIUC....It was just stated on In Session that the secret information had to do with correspondence between Casey and another inmate she befriended. The motion has been unsealed.

Thanks.

While not a confession the letters must be damaging since the Judge has given the Defense 15 days to submit any motions and seek to block them, etc. Hmmmm?

 

[drip~drop]

I just want to be able to read these letters. Straight up.

I hope the media fights like hell for that to be open info.

 

[SuziQ]

Heck, I went back to the hearings thread and I can't figure out what was ruled on today.

I believe this motion which was filed in Feb is the sealed motion that was being investigated by the state.

This same motion was unsealed on 3/16/10 http://www.wftv.com/pdf/22876651/detail.html

The judge has given Bozo 15 days to review the new material.

I think WESH is wrong, and its not the first time either.
