Prosecutor In Caylee Case Accused Of Coercing Witness
Man Convicted Of Murder Wants New Trial
POSTED: Monday, February 9, 2009
UPDATED: 6:49 am EST February 10, 2009

<snipped>
A 13-year-old murder conviction is being challenged after a witness said Orlando police and a prosecutor now working on the Casey Anthony case pressured her to identify the shooter.
Benjamin Smith is serving life in prison for killing 15-year-old Glenny Tapley in February 1996 when the teen confronted Smith during a car burglary outside the monster truck show at the Citrus Bowl.
A key witness in the case now says her identification of Smith as the shooter was coerced by now-retired Orlando police Detective Glen Gause and prosecutor Jeff Ashton, who is currently working in Casey Anthony's murder case.

Hundreds of friends, family members and strangers gathered at a memorial service for slain toddler Caylee Anthony at the First Baptist Church of Orlando on Tuesday morning.
At 9:39 a.m. however, Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, visited his client in the female detention center in an attorney interview room. Although the room did not have a TV, Baez did have a laptop with him and it is possible and allowed that he and Casey Anthony could have been watching the service via air card.
Family members, including Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, spoke during the service, which opened with a piano medley of Caylee's favorite songs.
A teary Cindy Anthony sang along with Pastor Herkie Walls to "O How He Loves You and Me." She said she would not have been able to endure the pain and suffering she has over the past seven months if it weren't for her faith. She also addressed Casey Anthony directly, saying she hoped she could hear her and telling her she loves her and wished she could take away the pain she is feeling.

Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy, who arranged the public service, urged mourners to support their daughter.
"It breaks my heart today that Casey isn't here today to honor her child who she loved so much," Cindy Anthony said during the eulogy. "Casey, I hope you're listening to this. I wish I could comfort you. I wish I could take away your pain and wipe away your tears."
George Anthony said his daughter deserved love and letters of support while she was in jail.
"I miss my daughter, Casey," George Anthony said. "Do not form judgments because I tell you, you do not want to be in any of our shoes."
Security was tight, given that the Anthony family had faced protesters at their house before the daughter was arrested. A dozen deputies were stationed at the church and mourners had to pass through a metal detector to get into the sanctuary. No protesters showed up.

Goodbye, Caylee Marie -- Hundreds Mourn At Public Memorial
Wednesday, February 11, 2009 2:17:30 AM

<snipped>
The event was filled with emotional words, both from religious leaders and from members of Caylee's own family.
The Anthonys, though tearful, remained calm, holding hands throughout the ceremony, and occationally leaning on each other. They also smiled at times when the pastor spoke.
Duckett At Memorial
Joshua Duckett, whose son Trenton Duckett, has been missing since August 2006, said he felt a personal connection with the case of Caylee Anthony. "Even though nobody really knew Caylee, you still have a connection to her after all the stuff that's been on the news," Joshua Duckett told News 13. "Being connected to the families, we share a lot of the same things, and a lot of the same thoughts."
Padilla Holds Separate Memorial At Remains Site
Padilla's memorial only lasted lasted about 20 minutes. The number of people at the site was small, but emotions were still strong. Many people said they were too emotionally attached to this story to let Caylee go so soon. Padilla, himself, said he is not going away. Padilla also said he, in no way, was profiting on anything he has done in his involvement in the Caylee Anthony case.
No Support From Casey
While Caylee's grandparents are expected to attend the memorial, her mother, Casey Anthony chose not to watch the service from jail, saying she does not support the public service. Instead, Casey spent the vigil meeting with her attorney, Jose Baez, who showed up shortly after the ceremony began.

The Anthony family, minus jailed mother Casey Anthony, took the pulpit after a series of faith-based messages and songs. Lee Anthony, the brother of Casey Anthony, spoke to mourners and asked them to "fill their hearts with compassion and truth."
Lee Anthony began to cry and then kissed the band around his wrist that shows Caylee's name.
"CMA [Caylee Marie Anthony] I miss you. CMA I am so proud of you. I hope you're proud of me, too," Lee Anthony said. "I will never forget."
George Anthony followed by saying, "I am proud to be the grandfather of Caylee Marie."
He spoke for 10 minutes about his granddaughter and received a standing ovation when he was finished.
Next came Cindy.
"I remember the day Casey came to me to tell me the news I was going to be a grandmother. I knew that our lives were going to be blessed."
"I knew she would be a very special child. Caylee was a perfect baby."
Before the memorial, about 50 to 60 people gathered at a makeshift memorial to Caylee off Suburban Drive, a short walk from the Anthony home.
Sentinel photographer Red Huber, who was given exclusive permission from the Anthony family to be the still photographer of record for the memorial, is already filing photos from the church.
Some visitors put up a wooden heart-shaped memorial that reads "Caylee rest in peace."
Five members of the local chapter of the Guardian Angels are at the service.

Mourners hold separate memorial where Caylee's remains were found
Rich McKay | Sentinel Staff Writer

With tears, prayers, and toys in hand, more than 70 people gathered near a small patch woods in southeast Orange County where the body of Caylee Marie Anthony was found after months of holding the attention of the nation.
"I haven't invited a single [media] camera here," Padilla said. "Caylee means more to me than she does to the media. To the media, she's just good television. I wish that I met her, I didn't, but I feel like I know her."

Richard Grund spoke of his family's love for the child and the pain they feel at her loss.
"The message here is for all of you," he said. "If you have children, love them today, because as we found out from this case, you may not have them tomorrow."

Dozens Hold Memorial At Caylee Remains Site

"Now she's an angel. What can you say? It is sad, sad," Heidi Pnoyer told Eyewitness News.
It was difficult for Heidi to express how she feels about little Caylee being laid to rest. Nearly 100 mourners started pulling onto Suburban Drive around 9:00am Tuesday. They came with their children, teddy bears and a florist delivered a basket of white flowers.
A heart-shaped sign and a large white poster board was put up so people could leave a message for Caylee at the site where her remains for found. All of the people at the remains scene Tuesday have followed the case from the beginning and Tuesday felt like they're getting closure.
"I pray for the mom, too. I know Caylee's in heaven, but the mom's got to live the rest of her life with this in her heart," mourner Kelly Rallison said.
Leonard Padilla, Jesse Grund's father and a few others were there, because they were banned from attending the memorial at the church. They didn't harp on that when they spoke to the crowd.

Caylee Anthony's memorial service: What I saw
Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
2:35 PM EST, February 10, 2009

<snipped>
Finally, Caylee Marie had her day.
I didn't see protesters spewing hate about her mother. No news conference dominated the event. No bounty hunters stealing the spotlight. And those I spoke to talked about how beautiful the service was instead of sharing their theories on what happened to the 2-year-old whose remains were found in December.
As I waited, pictures of Caylee in happier times flashed on a large screen. Caylee wearing a Princess Leia costume. Caylee playing with a Winnie the Pooh brush. Caylee snoozing on her grandmother's bed.
All I could think about was how could someone hurt such a cute little girl?
The woman with the tissues began to cry -- and didn't stop until it was over two hours later.
I wondered if she was crying for Caylee -- a girl she probably got to know through television and newspaper stories -- or for some other reason. I bet most of the people there had never met Caylee and didn't know the Anthonys personally.

The public service was broadcast live on local television from the First Baptist Church of Orlando. Images of Caylee flashed on a giant screen in front of the church sanctuary as a pianist played, "You Are My Sunshine" and "If You're Happy and You Know It."
Casey Anthony could have asked for permission to watch the memorial on TV but didn't, according to jail officials. The 22-year-old said in a statement read by her attorney that she missed Caylee "every day and every minute of every day."

Grandparents George and Cindy Anthony speak tenderly of Caylee

On Tuesday, George Anthony, his wife and their son stood together in their first public appearance since Caylee's remains were found in December, sharing stories of the child who captured hearts across the nation.
A crowd of about 1,100 people -- many of whom never met Caylee -- got a glimpse of the joy she brought to her family.
It was unclear whether the 22-year-old, who is charged with killing her child, watched or listened to the service, which was broadcast live on local news channels. But Cindy Anthony, who has not visited her daughter in jail for months, addressed her from the sanctuary.
Anthony's attorney, Jos&#65533; Baez, met with her for two hours Tuesday but gave few details to reporters waiting for him outside the jail.
"It was important for me to be here with her -- to be with her at this time," Baez said. "It's very frankly a private matter, and that's the way it should be."
Reporters asked: How did Anthony feel? What did she say? Did she watch the service? Baez wouldn't answer.
"I'm not going to comment on what she does or doesn't do," he said.

With tears, prayers and toys in hand, more than 70 people gathered near a small patch of woods in southeast Orange County where the remains of Caylee Marie Anthony were found.
People gathered for an impromptu service Tuesday morning, led by a California bounty hunter who inserted himself in the case of the missing girl and her 22-year-old mother, Casey Anthony, now in jail and charged with the child's murder.
"This isn't anything that was planned," said bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who was once welcomed into the Anthony household when he helped secure a bond for Casey. He later revoked it, stating that the mother wasn't cooperating in the search for her child.
"I didn't know Caylee, but I feel like I did," he said Tuesday.

Family Does Not Videotape Of Visit Released To Public

A spokesman for Orange County corrections told WESH 2 it would be up to the sheriff's department to decide whether to videotape the visit.
Brad Conway, the Anthonys attorney, said the family realizes the video session with Casey Anthony would have to be monitored by jail staff but they do not want a video of it released.
George Anthony will be a key witness in the state's murder case against his daughter, just as he gave evidence to the grand jury that indicted her.

Memorial Service May Have Sparked Rift In Family
Caylee Anthony's memorial service exposed a developing rift between what George and Cindy Anthony wanted versus Casey Anthony's desires. Casey Anthony's defense attorney, Jose Baez, said it is nothing more than a disagreement. "It&#8217;s a private matter between the family," Baez said.
Baez said he did not appreciate the negative spin put on his client's statement. Casey Anthony did not want a public memorial, and did not agree with her parents&#8217; plans to cremate Caylee's remains.
"Just because of simple disagreements it does not mean there's a rift between the family or anything like that," Baez said. Members of George and Cindy Anthony's inner circle said they resented Baez's statement on Casey Anthony's behalf and how long it took the defense team to get Caylee's remains. The couple's lawyer would not address the controversy outside Caylee's memorial.

The start of Casey Anthony's murder trial could be as long as a year away. There are many things, legally and in the investigation, that still need to be completed.
Eyewitness News believes evidence discovered where Caylee's remains were found and at her house are still being tested. According to defense expert Dr. Henry Lee's writings, Casey's defense team could be going so far as to analyze the root growth of plants to determine how long Caylee's body was there.
Once the testing of the evidence is done, the defense will go into research and attack mode.

Casey Anthony's defense attorney has been criticized for his choice of a media firm -- and the recent revelation that a man who served prison time for attempting to extort a journalist has acted as the lawyer's spokesman.
But Jose Baez and that company have parted ways, the Orlando Sentinel learned today.
In a statement e-mailed to the Sentinel, Baez said, "Press Corps Media is no longer affiliated with The Baez Law Firm."
The Kissimmee lawyer did not comment further.

Attorney Brad Conway, who represents George and Cindy Anthony, wouldn't say where Caylee's remains are being kept.

Who is "CMA?"
Lee Anthony was "talking to all of them," Conway said.
"He wanted his sister to know he loves her."
