Casey Anthony Dog and Pony Show Continues
Casey Anthony, the Orlando mother accused of killing her daughter Caylee Anthony, appeared in court Monday afternoon for a hearing. Judge Belvin Perry ruled that the defense does not have to hand over information regarding how their expert witnesses are being paid, or how much they have been paid. Despite the fact that Anthony has been declared indigent and the tax payers are footing the bill for her defense.
However, the defense will be forced to turn over subject matter, photographs, videos and notes made by their expert witnesses that are not considered "word product." Most importantly the subject matter that their witnesses will be testifying about.
Casey Anthony's defense attorney Jose Baez also whined that the case is getting too much pretrial publicity, despite the fact that the defense team causes most of it.
For example, WFTV.com reported that the defense team for Casey Anthony made statements in the press that: They discovered 150 Texas Equusearch volunteers who searched the exact area where Caylee's body was discovered, and said the area was not underwater as some claim, and that no remains were there.
But the prosecution says that in conversations with the defense, that they have revealed only 6-10 volunteers had given them information that would be considered relevant to them...
Now the defense team has switched its strategy... After insinuating that the meter reader, Roy Kronk, who discovered Caylee's remains should be considered a suspect, they are backing off the strategy as using him as reasonable doubt to get their client off the hook.
In my opinion all of this is a bunch of crap. We all know there are a lot of nut cases out there that are attracted to missing and murdered children cases. So it doesn't really shock me that the defense can find a handful of creeps out there who say the searched the area, where the body was found, and didn't see a body.
People will say a lot of things to be the center of attention, to get their 15 minutes of fame, and get involved in a high profile murder case.
I also find myself rolling my eyes at the news that the defense is changing their strategy regarding Roy Kronk. How much tax payer dollars was wasted on resources investigating Kronk and interviewing all of his crazy disgruntled family members?
If they want to investigate aliens, wild conspiracy theories, etc they should be welcome to do so, but not if the tax payers are paying for it. That is why so many people are outraged at this defense team.
The dog and pony show, known as the Casey Anthony defense continues.... And all at the expense of the Florida tax payers.
