What the Prosecution Thinks About Media Reporting in this case

[Spangle]

I hear what you're saying, and get what the prosecution is trying to express, but thats not really the point of JBs motion. Isnt the point that they are leaking info, and hiding behind a cloak of anonimity? And then laying the blame on the media?
I have believed all along that the prosecution is leaking information to people like LP, NG and MF, to name a few.
How is it that NG has had the inside story on doc dumps prior to their release? If it hasnt been handed to the defense yet, then it can only be coming from one other place.
What the media does with it then is a seperate issue, but doesnt change the fact that these people claim to not be leaking info when they clearly are.

Its interesting that you have noted the very same point the prosecution was talking about prior to the proceedings, and patting themselves on the back for (#8). You're not one of them are you?
I never thought I'd say this, but I think JB behaved in a more professional manner than the state this time round. He cant write a motion to save his life, but the behaviour in that courtroom by the state had me shaking my head in shame. (I wasnt just watching KC) They're supposed to be the good guys!!

They shouldnt be recused, but they do need to pull their socks up, show some professionalism and remember that they are seeking justice for Caylee, not playing a game of strategy, and stroking each others egos. JMO

I thought Todd Black was the one doing all the leaking. And I"m pretty sure he is the one that contacted the Bar with a complaint. Maybe we should call him in to testify.

In defense of WFTV, you have to give Kathi Belich credit for being a very good reporter.
She brought us the story about Dennis (felon) Milstead.
She got Lee's lawyer Luka so confused he did/did not/I take that back/I did not see that video.
If WFTV is biased it is not without cause, Cindy called Kathi "stupid" very early in the case. KB is far from being stupid.

You're right, it was a very bad move on his part. WFTV had been slanting their posts all along but they really stepped it up after Baez got on their bad side. Bringing LP in as one of their "sources" says everything about their integrity as a legitimate news outlet, IMO.

I didn't know there was a news outlet with integrity? Not meaning to be mean, but they report the stuff WE want to hear. The way WE want to hear it. It's all about getting viewers to tune in, watch the ADs , to make them money.

Ummm:waitasec:....where shall we start?

IMO a VERY large proportion of the reporting on this case falls into the categories mentioned above. One particular thing that annoys me greatly every time I see it is MyFoxOrlando's constant references to Caylee as the 'slain toddler'. How on earth do they know she was 'slain'? The constant repetition of this phrase gives the impression that it is a given fact that Caylee's death was the result of a deliberate murder when that has yet to be proved! The word 'slain' also implies a violent killing which is even worse! :banghead:

Probably because COD was ruled "homicide" by Dr. G, IIRC

"Slain" may be considered a bit over the top....BUT, Caylee was found with DUCT TAPE wrapped around her little scull

I suppose you're right. I keep wishing for the good old days when the news reported the facts and allowed the reader/viewer to form their own opinions. Maybe those days existed only in my imagination.

The ME already covered this when she said it was a Homicide. She did not say accidental death. Doesn't this mean it is a fact it was a deliberate murder?

My opinion is that there are news agencies with integrity. They just don't happen to be in Orlando, and they aren't really hot on covering this case. I'm thinking of the New York Times and the Washington Post. Within Orlando, the Orlando Sentinel might be the most reliable.

LOL So what do you call the way Geraldo is reporting this story?!

Homicide is a very loose term that also covers manslaughter, where a person's death may have been due to some form of negligence. That is a far cry from 'slaying' someone! Dr G also did not say the cause of death was homicide, that was the manner of death, and was her opinion based upon a variety of factors. The cause of death was 'undetermined means' meaning that she could not tell how Caylee had died, so I think it is outrageous for a media source to take it upon themselves to repeatedly report that Caylee was 'slain' without knowing the facts.

Ah, from my studies.. I would have to say you have been wearing rose colored glasses my dear. Sigh, isn't it sad.

Actually, when we agree with what is being said/written, we don't notice it's being leaned one direction or another. Same if we don't have an opinion. Most of the time, unless we are involved our selves, we have no way of realizing the reporting is leaning in any direction at all. How would we??

Most folks will not watch the videos and catch what you did. They will not be confused. They 'know' what happened. It is what everyone 'knows'. And that is what the news media reported. After something is considered commen knowledge, good luck trying to change it. I've watch political reporting enough.. that I'm just so over the shock of it all.

Okkkkk...IMO, she died in a manner which in some way entailed having her head wrapped in duct tape....sounds MAYBE slain to me...BUT, not gonna get into semantics with ya...
AND, had her mother stopped lying to LE, Caylee's body could have been found ....oh, thats right...she had 31 days to "decompose" while her mom partied.
IF her mom spoke up from the get go, THEN, we would have known, perhaps, what caused her "homicide".

ETA : A little hard to go for "manslaughter" with the duct tape....JMO

I think if you go to other sites, you won't find them to be anywhere near as accurate as we are. Perhaps you could do a detailed study on those sites and compare them for us.

 

[jujube]

Yeah.

I would think the Prosecution is pleased with the media coverage of the case.

Although, it is possible the media has topped Casey's record for .... you know what.

Stoking the public outrage definitely works for the Prosecution. Or at least it should I would think.

The prosecution should be pleased because they make sure things are leaked. They are trying the case in the media.

Bolded by me

Well there's another perfect example of the influence of the media and the likes of NG et al. Nowhere in the documentary evidence does it say that Caylee's skull was 'wrapped' in duct tape, neither is there any evidence as yet that the duct tape was applied before Caylee died, but the media sure likes to massage the known facts in order to create sensational 'news', and the saddest part about that is that so many people think it's all true!

Why would I do that?

I don't really know that anyone's pleased...BUT, what got this whole ball of poop rollin downhill was Miss Casey and her "31 days" "Zanny the Nanny"....sorry, but that's what got me and EVERYONE I know into this story.
