Kc and Lyon are color coordinated

Bozo sputtering, kc looks bored but serious!!!!!

she looked upset and lyon started stroking her hair and patting her shoulder

It was over before it barely started.... Poof, it was just over, just like that.

wesh reporting we did miss quite a bit while the feed was down. darn it. u will be able to read the transcript at wftv.

So what was accomplished? Does anyone know if inmates are allowed to have their hair cut? I assume
by the time of the actual criminal trial Casey will look like Rapunzel!

darn it, i was all by myself over at the thread where the link was posted...I was chatting to myself...sorry i missed this thread.

I just got here and don't see any avatars. Hmmmm. I think the emotion worked. I thought they were missing, too, on a thread I was just on.

I am going to split the thread where critter was live and posting to this thread. However the system won't let me do it and it might be related to tech issues from the site problems this morning.

I hope we don't already know this. Mass confusion going on in my head with all the motions and hearings and BS.

Trial set for January in Casey Anthony fraud case

The trial for Casey Anthony’s check fraud case is set for Jan. 25, according to court officials. A pre-trial hearing will be on Dec. 18.

Casey Anthony, 23, is charged with more than a dozen fraud counts, including check forgery. She’s accused of writing $662 in checks that belong to a friend.

Her defense team has asked that the trial be moved outside of Orange County.

Prosecutors wanted the fraud trial to be held before Casey Anthony’s murder trial. She is accused of killing her daughter, Caylee Marie.

Judge Won't Dismiss Charges, Fraud Trial Date Set

Posted: 9:52 am EDT October 16, 2009Updated: 12:35 pm EDT October 16, 2009

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony will stand trial in January not for murder, but for stealing her best friend's checks. An Orange County judge Friday set a date for her check fraud trial. The judge also granted a motion (read order) filed by the state to dismiss the defense motion to have murder and child abuse charges dropped.

The judge also gave Casey's defense team until February to provide proof that someone else placed Caylee's body in the woods near the Anthony family home.

COURT HEARING: Casey, Court Images | Raw Video
READ: Judge's Order Not Dismissing Charges

Casey was in court Friday for the first time in months. Casey appeared before Judge Stan Strickland Friday wearing a sea-foam green, puffed-sleeve, belted shirt and her hair looked longer (see images).

The court hearing was a lot shorter than it was supposed to be, because Casey's defense team made some legal snafus. The defense took a pounding in court; it couldn't have some of the hearings it wanted to have because it didn't do what it should have.

The defense failed to provide a witness list for one of the issues and gave legal notice to the sheriff's office instead of the county to prepare for the jail camera issue (read motion), but the sheriff has not run the Orange County jail since 1987.

“It’s a farce. It doesn’t even come close to the legal requirements necessary for the court to even entertain a motion to dismiss,” state prosecutor Linda Drane-Burdick argued Friday.

That's how prosecutors described Casey Anthony’s defense team motion (motion | state response | defense reply) for the judge to throw out the murder and child abuse charges against Casey.

“The entire motion, from top to bottom, it is replete with errors, it’s insufficient as a matter of law,” Drane-Burdick said Friday in court.

“It cannot be the intent of the Florida legislature that a person swear to something that they do not have personal knowledge,” Casey’s attorney, Andrea Lyon, argued.

The judge decided not to rule on whether he'd throw out the charges against her during the hearing, but issued his order not to dismiss the charges just after noon.

“The content of the motion, as well as Ms. Anthony’s brief affirmations, are not enough to carry the day under Florida Rules of Pleading,” Judge Strickland wrote in his order (read it).

Meanwhile, the defense was ordered Friday to turn over, by February 1, any evidence it might have to back up its claim that someone else placed Caylee's body in the woods last year (motion | defense response).

“Is there gonna be a bombshell on February 1st,” WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez.

“There will be something. There definitely will be something,” Baez said.

The court issued details on the check fraud case against Casey less than an hour after the hearing. A pretrial status hearing was set for Friday, December 18, 2009 at 10:00am and the trial date was set for Monday, January 25, 2010.

The defense did win the right to have the photographs of Caylee's remains copied on CDs, which they will send to their experts.

Can't believe they are waiting till January.

Yes, major tech b.s. this AM. I am hoping they are putting it back together again.

OK, don't go throwing sticks at me, but does anyone else see a thinner Crazy in this hearing?? Or maybe it is just the outfit? Maybe Lyon picked it out for her so they could match.. now isn't that cute!!!

Oh no Mommy. I see an overweight, greasy, nervous person sitting there. Self-confidence eroding away.

her arms look super skinny but once she get ups WOW! she looks bigger! and her nose seems to have grown

Adelacruz...you've heard of the story of Pinocchio?!!!

Casey and the growing nose. :lier: Where's Jiminy Cricket?????????

I thought she looked thinner as well. She sure orders a lot of "hot foods" I guess prison cuisine in general is pretty bland. Well, where she is eventually going to end up (after this life) will be plenty hot I can guarantee you!

:lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Like I also said.. it could have just been the outfit she was wearing was covering it all up!

Eww, just had a back flash of her Tattoo pics showing off her fat tire and nasty zits..

She ran out of money for treats. :lol!:
She still looks very sick (crazy) and haunted. I hope Caylee haunts her day and night. I so want to download our Caylee videos and send them to her. The second one will haunt anyone that watches it. The graphic truth always does.

Linda Marie, I wouldn't waste your precious energy or money to send Casey anything, but I get your point.

Did you all she the bags under Casey's eyes? And the one's under Lyon's are even worse. They looked like mother and daughter sitting there in their color coordinated outfits and the bags they were carrying!!

And as Critter said, George in shorts smacking that . So disrespectful to the court!! :blowing bubble

Caylee Anthony - Motions Heard Friday - Murder Charges Stand
Posted on October 17th, 2009
by Jan Barrett

Well Friday morning Caylee Anthony’s Mom was back in the news as she had to appear in court for the judge to hear the new motions filed in her case. Of course Casey’s proud parents showed up for court showing their support for their loving daughter. Cindy in her movie star style hair cut and all her jewelry and make up on while George somehow looked thinner and older.

The defense team filed a motion to try and get the murder charges and the child abuse charges against Casey dismisses. Linda Drane Burdick, the state prosecutor, stood in court and said that the defense made no sense in their arguments. “It’s a farce,” she said. “It doesn’t even come close to the legal arguments necessary for a motion to dismiss.” She says the defense motion is legally flawed. “It is insufficient.”

Thankfully Judge Stan Strickland agreed with the prosecution and refused to throw the charges out. So the murder and abuse charges will stand against Casey Anthony, who is being charged for murdering her then 2 year old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

The state had also filed a motioned that was heard during this court session. Their motion was to ask the courts to order the defense to hand over evidence and a list of witnesses that they plan to call in during the trial. One of the defense attorney’s Todd Macaluso said they had evidence that shows Caylee Anthony’s remains were dumped at the crime scene after Casey Anthony was put in jail. The prosecutors said their agreement to share evidence requires the defense to produce such findings. But (his majesty) Bozo (oops) I mean Jose Baez argued in court that the burden to share evidence is up to the prosecutors and he isn’t required to tip his hand on any possible defense strategy. “We are analyzing everything,” he said. “We’re not piecemealing things. When we’re ready, we will comply with the rules of discovery.

The good judge once again ruled against the defense. He says that they have to produce specific to the claim made by Macaluso. He says they have until February 1 to hand it over or explain why they haven’t.

OK I agree they need to do so but why not until the first of February. I mean that is still months away. How long does it take to provide proof that you have something that they claim they already have? Do they have to search for something now to hand over to the prosecution to make it look like evidence? It amazes me at how they are always expecting special privileges. How come we have to wait til it is convenient for them to take this to trial anyway? That to me makes absolutely no sense.

The judge did grant the defense experts easier access to pictures from the crime scene but under strict guidelines. He ruled that only those that are in applicable fields of study are to see them.

It also seems that little Haleigh Cummings stepmom, Misty Croslin isn’t the only one involved in a high profile case that has continuous inconsistencies in their testimonies to the police. Apparently George Anthony kept changing his story and the timeline of events especially when he spoke of crucial information about the evidence in the murder case of his granddaughter, Caylee. You can go here to find a video of his deposition or to read the depositions.

I was reading an article from the sun-sentinel.com tonight and I had to laugh but then agree with the writer of the article who was talking about 48 Hour Mystery on CBS which airs tonight at 9 pm Central time here. Maggie Rodriguez will be interviewing the defense team attorneys and a few other guests which include, George and Cindy Anthony, Jesse Grund, Casey Anthony’s former fiancé, author Diane Fanning, who has compiled Casey’s history of lying in her upcoming book, “Mommy’s Little Girl” and Zenaida Gonzales’s attorney, John Morgan.

The article I found says that the first question Rodriguez should have asked George and Cindy is “Who’s paying you?” He says the Anthony’s are a blue collar family that has had no known source of income since Caylee disappeared in June, 2008. I find that to be a very interesting question. It puzzles me how these people have survived every day since all this has happened with no income coming in. Shoot my husband and I can’t go two weeks without any income at all before we panic on how are we going to pay our bills and then we still barely scrape by so I’d love to know how one pays a mortgage and all utilities and car payments with insurance and still eat. Oh and yeah and not to mention being able to go to the hair salon to make sure the hair is perfect for every court date. Oh and one more thing, has anyone priced a pack of lately? It is a lot more expensive than it was 5 years ago even yet they always seem to be able to afford . I would like to know their secret, seriously.

I honestly don’t know how they can forget that little Caylee’s life was taken more than likely by the hands of their very own daughter. How could they not be out for justice of their only grandchild. I know the love of a mother, as I am a mother too, but I am also a grandmother and even though it would have to be a really hard thing to do I would have to look for my grandchild’s justice if it we me in their shoes. I still say it is hard to turn away from your own child and I admire that part in the Anthony’s but to defend her by slapping her on the hand telling her she was bad and not to do that anymore is not the way to handle this. Everyone says they have lost their granddaughter and now they don’t want to lose their daughter too. OK that is understandable too, but not by fighting saying she is innocent. Sorry, that won’t work.

I would have some sympathy if they were just fighting the death penalty, using excuse after excuse as to why she shouldn’t be executed and just let her go to prison and pay for her crime. But no they are never going to do that. Of course this is my opinion only but I think they won’t turn their backs on her mostly because they are afraid if they do she will tell the cops that they were all a part in covering this up after the fact. I have also said they know about it and if you think about it, with George being an ex-cop he would know more than your average person on how to cover for a murder. None will talk because then they will all go down. But again like I say that is only my opinion.

I pray that Caylee will get her justice at the end of all this and ALL involved will pay for their part. They all deserve to be thrown behind bars together in one cell so they have to deal with each other and face one another everyday for the rest of their sorry lives.

Caylee America still loves you honey and we still pray you will get justice soon. We also pray for all the other missing and abused and murdered children out there like Haleigh Cummings and Adji Desir.

Listen in to our radio show on Sunday and we will be discussing the latest on the Haleigh Cummings case and Caylee Anthony as well.
