Off-Duty Deputy Collapses, Dies At YMCA

<snips>:

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- An Orange County deputy died Wednesday, according to the sheriff's office.

Erickson was one of the first to interview Lee Anthony in 2008. He also interviewed Casey's neighbor, who loaned her a shovel during the time Caylee was missing.

Erickson was supposed to be a witness during the trial in May. The defense had already taken a deposition from Erickson.

Video Report In Article

A breakdown provided by Ninth Judicial Circuit Court administrators shows a plan to house 20 jurors for an estimated eight weeks at $112 per day. That $125,440 hotel bill is the largest single item on the expense breakdown provided to the Orlando Sentinel.


Add to that $48,800 for meals and more than $170,000 for transportation, clerks, deputies, security guards, juror wages and miscellaneous expenses.


Another revelation in the expense breakdown is the fact that 20 jurors are expected to be seated &#8212; instead of the more common 14, which includes 12 jurors and two alternates. In the Anthony case, there likely will be eight alternates, according to court-administration spokeswoman Karen Levey. Those folks won't know who the alternates are until the trial ends.

Clerk of Courts: Casey Anthony trial could be "canceled or suspended"
Orange County Clerk of Courts Lydia Gardner says threatened cuts to her budget could put Casey Anthony trial in jeopardy.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-casey-anthony-trial-jeopardy-20110317,0,2567509.story

"Our funding for the Casey Anthony trial is in serious jeopardy at this time," Gardner said in an e-mail response to a newly released estimate of the costs associated with the murder trial set to start in May. "The Florida Senate has proposed a 5 percent cut to our budget in the 4th quarter, just as the Anthony trial is scheduled to begin. I have informed both the Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court as well as Chief Judge Belvin Perry of these dire circumstances.

"If the Senate proposal goes through the trial is in jeopardy of being canceled or suspended," Gardner concluded.

The Ninth Judicial Circuit court administration expense estimate for the trial comes to more than $361,000. The bulk of the costs involve housing, feeding and transporting 20 jurors for the duration of the eight weeks the trial is expected to run. Gardner's office would have to absorb most of the trial costs.

Court: Casey's Murder Trial May Have To Be Canceled

http://www.wftv.com/news/27227848/detail.html

Casey Anthony's murder trial could be in jeopardy if proposed legislative funding cuts go through, according to Orange County Clerk of Courts Lydia Gardner.

Gardner said the court won't be able to afford the trial, which would then be canceled, if the proposed 5 percent cut goes through.

Gardner released this statement to WFTV: &#8220;Our funding for the Casey Anthony trial is in serious jeopardy at this time. The Florida Senate has proposed a 5 percent cut to our budget in the 4th quarter, just as the Anthony trial is scheduled to begin. I have informed both the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court as well as Chief Judge Belvin Perry of these dire circumstances. If the Senate proposal goes through, the trial is in jeopardy of being canceled or suspended.&#8221;

However, a spokesperson for the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court suggests that talks of continuing the case are "extremely premature."

"The State vs. Casey Anthony trial is moving forward. It has not been continued," said the Chief of Due Process Services, Karen Levey.

Casey's trial is scheduled for May 9.

A spokeswoman for Perry's court said Gardner's statements are premature given that the legislative session just began. She said the trial is moving forward as scheduled and there has been no continuation.

She also provided a breakdown of the estimated costs the court, clerk and law enforcement would incur by accommodating 20 jurors (including 8 alternates) for an anticipated eight-week trial.

HOPE this is a typo in the article...

Court officials estimate that the trial will cost Orange County more than $350 million. More than $200 million of that is for jury expenses that must be paid by the clerk of court's office.

State Sen.: Casey Trial Funding Not A Concern

http://www.wesh.com/r/27230033/detail.html

State Sen. Mike Fasano said Gardner's statements were not accurate. Fasano is the chairman of the Senate's budget subcommittee on criminal and civil justice appropriations. The committee oversees funding for offices such as the Orange County Clerk of Court.
