Tim Miller: Possible Lawsuit against Casey

[EPfan]

I think most people would agree that if someone in your family were missing and possibly dead you would want their remains recovered asap. People who murder don't usually call TES to find the body. I don't think it would ever deter people from calling TES if their loved one was truly missing.

The attorneys could be working on a contingency basis. TES has a right to recover lost funds. Look at the money TES had to spend to protect the searchers identities while the DT was doing their background checks. Someone had to pay that bill.

Maybe Tim Miller just doesn't like liars. jmo

The back ground checks is a possibility to what could happen when you are on high-profile cases. Maybe it wasn't High profile when equusearch first came to Florida. This case was certainly different. I didn't think that Casey called equusearch, I thought it was Cindy and she truly thought Caylee was missing at the time. It will be intresting to see how all these suits play out.

 

[Trident]

Add the alleged witness tampering regarding his organization to the mix also. The defense tried to dirty the name of Tim Miller's organization. Let's not forget there is a forged document about TES searching that area when in fact they had not because of the water. It was in the hands of the defense. How did they get it and why I ask was that evidence not used by Baez in court?

People have an absolute right to defend themselves at trial. What they do not have a right to do is violate the law to do it, ruin the good reputation of the people who have tried to do the right things.

Tim Miller even if he doesn't win, and I think he has a good shot, is doing this for the principal. If only others had honorable principal in their dealings with the court system and law enforcement and the cause for missing children.

BBM Ah, you mean Laura? Interesting indeed. I was given to understand from a video with TM speaking, that she had been/was know/had volunteered before - but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure how Laura bolsters TMs case, I would have thought just the opposite. I really do want to hear more on this train of thought.

TIA

(ok, it's been done to death, but...)

Indeed, the irony is rich.


(also glad you posted this here - I durn near took an eye out from the spit take I did in the news thread - I had to break my fingers to keep from replying there. I am typing with my nose...)

LOL fraud. Everything is a fraud. I love it.

I hope Mr. Greene enjoys working for free. He is going to be busy.

 

[suzihawk]

My favorite parts is...

"A pessimist could conclude that plaintiff has made a focused effort to use this case and the surrounding media interest to its advantage in order to obtain both publicity and money," Greene said.


Mmm hmm.

Ah huh, a fraud. Everybody else is being fraudulent, wow.
But then again fraud seems to be this DT's specialty.

 

[Trident]

No. Not at all. I believed she was dead at the hands of FCA on the day 31...and think FCA should be held accountable / responsible for the costs; as should any and all other "FCA like" individuals who fraudulently pursue assistance from TES or any other similar organization.

My point was, when Tim asked for input from his donor's, I know there were many others like me asking / telling Tim to "go for it"...which I believe he took into consideration before moving forward with litigation.

But...I agree with other posters that it shouldn't be limited to FCA just because I loathe her. IMO, TM should pursue the same actions should the same situation occur in the future; and I can assure you that I will voice my opinion to him at that time, just as I did with FCA.
Anyhoo...you made me think about the reasons for my donations and I sincerely appreciate it, because I've been seething with the thought that she "got off" on all the murder charges; I never saw / thought beyond that...thank you!

That said, I'm someone who will return rotten fruit for a refund...so I say to anyone, if you are not satisfied with something you bought ---tangible or not---you should be able to get a refund, or exchange at least.

(I hope this makes sense...thanks to you, I'm in such deep thought about how and why I donate to any organization that I'm not sure I clearly articulated my response - )

OMG. Maybe we should start collecting donations now for a memorial to what TES used to stand for.

AND, maybe I should should ask for a refund of the money I donated to the Caylee search? What think ye?

My opinion only

Tim's the fraud?! :waitasec::banghead::loser:

 

[Baznme]

If "I" hadn't bought the car, the same as KC didn't contact TM and ask him to come, I don't believe I'd be out any money the same as KC didn't dupe TM into anything.

What now? Is TM going to sue the murderer of every deceased person he's found? That's what he needs to do if he's going to start suing anyone at all because every murderer knew where the body was - or, is he going to pick and choose which one might have money coming in?

These are sincere questions. I think he's setting a bad precedent, one that could destroy everything he's worked for and everything I thought he stood for.

My opinion only

Whoaaaaa..............

Let's get something straight. KC never asked anyone to look for her child, that's true but, if it were left up to her, no one would have been looking. CA asked TM to come to Orlando. He met with the "family", you know the family that's like a "hand", 4 fingers and a thumb? KC led TM to believe that she thought she was still alive and had been kidnapped, just like everyone else that's been hornswoggled in this case. Not Tim's first time around THIS block, so he sensed there was something very wrong with this story.
SHE (KC) never said "you won't find her", or "she's not coming back". Instead, she wanted out of jail as I recall so she could go help search but, on her own, without the search parties. How's that for deception? In the meantime, TES spends over 100+ thousand dollars trying to find Caylee, recruiting volunteers, making sure there was enough water for them being the heat of the summer and all the transportation costs for him, his staff and equipment all the way from Texas. When he finds out on opening remarks that JB and KC have known all along those searches were futile, how do you think he felt? About as aggravated as I am. I spent my weekends on those searches, my money to get there, my money for hotels, food not to mention the few ticks I had pulled off of me and the gator in the swamp, the poisonous snakes everywhere around water and you're worried about your donation? IMO, I don't blame TES for going after recovery costs. The third search was draining the till at that time and Sheriff Beary came up with some of their money to give to Tim to keep going. TES is not a rich organization and cannot afford to throw funds away searching for someone from a family that could have cared less if they went bankrupt or not. It's not Tim's fault this happened. It's KC's and if I were him, I'd sue this attorney for slander stating that he was looking for publicity and donations. What a jerk.

 

[Chilly Willy]

I'd love to see Tim recoup some of the money TES spent on this search but I don't believe he'll win the case on the grounds that he is claiming. He's right in saying that Casey did not inform him that Caylee was dead, but he was obviously looking for a deceased child so what is his complaint?

I think he'd have a better chance of winning if he accused Casey of knowing the entire time where Caylee's body was located and allowing him to spend countless dollars searching anyway. He still have a difficult time though, as Casey is not the one who asked him to search. As for all the money he spent and the cases he turned down, that was his decision, not Casey's. I do wonder why he gave this case such priority when he knew he was not getting the cooperation from the family that he'd seen in other cases.

Chilly, I'm not understanding you. First you say, you would love to see Tim recoup some of the funds spent on "this" search, there were several BTW - on the grounds that he is claiming. He is claiming "Casey knew the entire time that was Caylee's was dead and yet she allowed him to spend countless dollars searching anyway. That was more or less admitted in the DT's opening statement.

I think he'd have a better chance of winning if he accused Casey of knowing the entire time where Caylee's body was located and allowing him to spend countless dollars searching anyway. He still have a difficult time though, as Casey is not the one who asked him to search. I don't know how he could make the claim she KNEW where the body was since part of her defense was on the premise that it was her father that dumped the body. So, how could he make THAT call? As for all the money he spent and the cases he turned down, that was his decision, not Casey's. To a point, it was his decision but remember he was working WITH law enforcement to try to find Caylee. Alive or dead. That's what TES does. KC did not personally ask TES to come, but the family did and that was good enough for Tim. I do wonder why he gave this case such priority when he knew he was not getting the cooperation from the family that he'd seen in other cases.It's not for me to wonder why, as I stated earlier, this wasn't Tim's first trip around this block. He knew what he was looking at within the first two days of arriving at the Anthony home, I would bet on it.

My comments in Navy(above).....

Just my opinion but I feel very strongly that Tim is quite justified in his action on this. Apparantly so, since Jose has already stated that he would be doing what he can to get the funds back to this organization? Then Mr. Greene shows up with his ridiculous statement, so I don't know where this will end up but, I hope LE having worked in tandem with TES will give them the edge when a decision is made.

Tim states that Casey said to him - "Thanks for being here,I know she's alive out there somewhere, so please bring her back home".
They spent 40% of their annual budget on a deliberate wild goose chase... thanks to Casey.

CA was the one who made the phone call to TES on behalf of ICA to find her 'missing child'..
Here is Tim's lawsuit. ICA did ask him to search, and was there when her parents asked him numerous times to search for Caylee, even though she knew Caylee had already been dead over a month.

thank you ZsaZsa. That should clear up any question as to "what his complaint" is. :blowkiss:

 

[Chilly Willy]

I guess I'm not getting my point across very well.

Tim: I feel I should be reimbursed the money I chose to spend searching for a dead child.

Court: Why do you feel that way?

Tim: Because Casey didn't tell me she was dead.

Court: But you were searching for a dead body, right?

Like I said, I want Tim to win but I think he's going to have to change his strategy in order for that to happen. Tim wasn't looking for a living child, he assumed Caylee was dead. He wouldn't have searched any differently if Casey had informed him of the death.

I understand what you are saying.

Casey knew where the body was and let them search anyway. So, his strategy does need to change.
I hope he can get the money he wasted on this case.

I disagree. If Casey had informed him then there wouldn't have been any searches, he wouldn't have spent all those resources doing any searching, period.
They would have had the exact spot.

Her DT claimed she knew all along exactly where Caylee was yet she was willing to let everyone go on wild goose chases, spending valuable resources, searching for her daughter.

Tim may have been wound up searching for a dead body but it didn't originally start out that way when he first went to Orlando.

I still want to know who is paying for this Green guy.

He can't be doing this in his 'spare time', defending FCA is a full time job that has the potential to be never ending :great:
