  • For Whom the Sentences Toll

    Some would say that Casey Anthony got away with murder, personally I think she’s getting away with Lying and Check Fraud… The Check Fraud Case On January 25, 2010 Casey Anthony pled guilty to 13 counts of check fraud. As a result of her guilty plea, the Honorable Judge Stan Strickland adjudicated her guilty on…

  • Did Judge Perry make a rather large boo-boo?

    First, please don’t shoot the messenger. Second, I think Judge Perry made a rather large boo-boo… Third, read Sparkman v. State, 902 So. 2d 253 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) to see why… Sparkman and the Tape First Comes the Tape, Next Comes the Objection During trial, when the state offered the videotape of Sparkman’s statement to…

  • Baez, Lippman, and the Scandalous Allegations

    Many people are speculating on what the motion filed by George and Cindy Anthony’s attorney Mark Lippman is about. Below is my opinion that I posted on Websleuth’s regarding what it is likely about, as well as my post on why Jose Baez can  make such scandalous allegations in the first place.

  • Could Judge Perry be wrong, Defense right?

    Have no idea what happened, but suspect it was due to jury selection procedure. So could for once Judge Perry be wrong and the defense right? Ironically named, Perry v. State, 675 So. 2d 976 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), might hold the answer. We find that the court did abuse its discretion in this case when…

  • Casey Anthony: Week One Rewind

    Week one of the Casey Anthony trial is behind us and, as could be expected, it was not without incident as several notable issues arose. Jury Selection After five full days of jury selection, the parties ended Saturday with 12  potential jurors. Some in the media believe this to be a sign that we may actually…

  • Should they Stay or Should they Go?

    Assuming that either the State or the Defense invoke the Rule of Sequestration once the trial begins, the question has been raised: Should George and Cindy Anthony, as next of kin to Caylee Anthony, be allowed to stay in the courtroom during the  trial or should they be required to sequester themselves outside of the…

  • What are the Odds?

    So let me get this straight. On March 18, 2010 Casey Anthony was declared indigent by Judge Strickland after Jose Baez revealed he had blown over $250,000 received on Casey Anthony’s behalf – $200K of which was paid by the “American Broadcasting Company” as “licensing fees” for Casey Anthony’s “pictures.” Of importance, was the fact…

  • Can I have some Fryes with that Clandestine Grave Detector?

    Over the next three days, the Casey Anthony case will take a scientific detour, the primary purpose of which is for Judge Perry to decide whether to admit testimony from Dr. Arpad Vass regarding his decompositional odor analysis of Casey Anthony’s trunk, an analysis that supposedly revealed the presence of Chloroform – a compound alleged…
