Zenaida Gonzalez's lawyers seek end to Casey Anthony's 'stonewalling'
The legal team asks for answers in the 38-year-old mother's lawsuit against Casey Anthony, mother of Caylee Anthony.

Now, the lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez, a 38-year-old mother of six, plan to ask a judge to force Anthony to answer the rest of the questions.
"We are fed up with Casey Anthony stonewalling," said Gonzalez's attorney Keith Mitnik.
Orange Circuit Judge Jose R. Rodriguez came up with the idea of written questions in January after Anthony's attorneys tried to block a videotaped question-and-answer session with her in jail. The judge was trying to balance Gonzalez's attempt to clear her name against Anthony's rights in the criminal process.
Also Wednesday, a hearing in the criminal case was set to deal with various motions filed in the past several months.
On March 12, the lawyers will present their arguments before Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland.
Some of the issues to be discussed:
The defense's request for the state and law enforcement to produce all DNA notes and reports and standards used to collect evidence. The attorney for Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, wants the judge to stop prosecutors from releasing the letter George Anthony wrote the night he threatened suicide.

Casey Anthony case: "She should not be in jail," lawyer tells WKMG
posted by halboedeker on Mar 5, 2009 9:13:31 AM
<snipped>
"It seems like this case could be the next trial of the century," WKMG-Channel 6 anchor Jacqueline London said.
"This is the O.J. [Simpson] case of this decade," reporter Adam Longo replied.
WKMG certainly grabbed the attention by setting up its 11 p.m. Wednesday coverage of the Casey Anthony case. Longo profiled Todd Macaluso, the eighth lawyer to join Anthony's case.

There were some intriguing quotes. "The evidence is going to be very, very surprising to a lot of people in this community," Macaluso said.
And this: "She should not be in jail right now," Macaluso said.

What do you make of that?
The attorney's bio says he has a 92 percent win rate in jury cases. He derided the state for not having evidence in the Anthony case. "I'm confident we can win this case," Macaluso told Longo. Macaluso expects the trial to last four to six weeks.

http://www.wesh.com/news/18861435/detail.html

ORLANDO, Fla. -- More documents were released on Thursday as prosecutors continue to prepare their case against Casey Anthony.

There are 21 files that include copies of photos from Anthony's Photobucket account as well as other investigative files and transcripts - including one from the day Anthony was taken into custody on a charge of first-degree murder. WESH 2 News is reviewing the material now and plans to post files throughout the day.

Update:2:50 p.m. Casey's attorney Jose Baez issued a statement after the release of the documents.
"We are going to reserve comment on discovery releases until those times when the discovery is of some importance to the real evidence in this case," he said in an e-mail.

12:23 p.m. An interview with one of the private investigators who volunteered to work on the Casey Anthony case told investigators George Anthony had previously contemplated suicide.
Private investigator James Hoover also told Orange County Sheriff's Office detectives he was "concerned" over the close relationship between Cindy Anthony and private investigator Dominic Casey, as well as an alleged licorice sharing incident, much like the memorable scene in Disney's Lady and the Tramp, between Jose Baez and Casey Anthony at the Orange County Jail.
The private eye also said the close relationship between Cindy Anthony and Dominic Casey made him "uncomfortable."
"If I was the husband and you know, uhm, I, I'd be concerned," Hoover said describing a meeting the Anthonys', Casey and Hoover had at attorney Brad Conway's office. "They [Dominic Casey and Cindy] were like holding hands...you know, run their hand up and down their arms."

12:18 p.m. Anthony Lazzaro, who dated Casey Anthony, worked with investigators when he met with Anthony's brother, Lee, at Subway in Winter Park on July 29, according to the documents released today. The meeting was held inside an uncover vehicle investigators provided to Lazzaro. The vehicle Lazzaro was driving had audio-visual recording devices.
Lee Anthony talked about Caylee Marie, Casey and Casey's activities with her friends and boyfriends.
A summery of the conversation showed Lee Anthony went over what he knew about case, including the fact that Caylee was missing for 31 days before she was reported missing.

12:05 p.m. Investigators went all over the state to follow-up on possible sightings of Caylee Marie and other tips received, according to more than 100 pages of reports from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
They also followed up on a tip that alleged Casey Anthony was involved in a prostitution in Miami and left Caylee with another prostitute while working.
11:16 a.m. Discovery documents show that Casey Anthony's boyfriend, Anthony Lazzaro went undercover for the Orange County Sheriff's Office early on during the investigation. Documents show that Lazzaro was fitted with audio and video surveillance before he met with Lee Anthony on July 29.
11:07 a.m. More than 1,000 pages of legal documents have been released this morning by the State Attorney's Office as part of its case against Casey Anthony.
So far, the pages include investigative reports and phone logs.
Orlando Sentinel reporters are downloading and reviewing the documents.
Check back for updates.

Anthony's Newest Lawyer Discusses Case
Macaluso Says Casey Anthony Shouldn't Be In Jail
POSTED: Thursday, March 5, 2009
UPDATED: 11:57 am EST March 5, 2009
<snipped>
"Putting aside the quote 'junk science,' the prosecution has no evidence in this case," Macaluso said.
The "junk science" that Macaluso mentioned refers to the forensic tests that have been done in this case, including those on hair in Anthony's car and alleged evidence of decomposition.
"We just want you to wait until the evidence is presented at trial. There's an explanation for everything," said Macaluso, whose expertise is in the technical aspects of a trial and in cross-examining witnesses.
One area where the defense knows it's not winning is the battle of public opinion. Macaluso urged people to wait until the trial before making a judgment.
"The evidence is going to be very surprising to a lot of people in this community," Macaluso said.
While representing Casey Anthony could be considered a career risk for Macaluso, the attorney isn't concerned.
"If I thought she was guilty, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I'd be in San Diego enjoying the good weather," Macaluso said.

UPDATED: Casey Told Cops They Won't "Trick" Confession Out Of Her
Posted: 12:09 pm EST March 5, 2009
Updated: 4:24 pm EST March 5, 2009
<snipped>
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News obtained more than 1,000 pages of newly-released documents Thursday in the case against Casey Anthony. According to those documents, Casey told detectives they weren't going to "trick" her into a confession. The documents shed new light on Casey's personal life and what she did after Caylee's murder. She was hard as nails moments after she was indicted for first-degree murder. She joked with detectives about the wild chase she led them on. They caught up to her, but she told them they'd never catch her. Casey's Photobucket photos the defense tried to keep secret show a dark side after Caylee's disappearance. Ten days after Caylee Anthony's murder, mother Casey spent hours uploading photographs to Photobucket of skeletons kissing and pictures of skulls.

On October 14, moments after she was indicted for first degree murder, Casey joked with detectives about leading them on a chase and running them off the road as they tried to arrest her. Orange County Detective Eric Edwards asked her to step away from the glitter and glamour to help them help her. "I have had interest in helping law enforcement from the beginning. Unfortunately, my hands were literally tied and I was put in a position where someone's trying to trick a confession out of me," she told detectives on October 14. "That's not going to happen."
Casey told detectives she's never shied away from talking to them. "I have an open mind when it comes to things. I try to keep an open mind when it comes to things, but if I'm innocent that's, that's as far as it goes," she told them. "I'll take this as far as I need to prove my innocence, which I guess is my point in all of this. I'm not running."


Hoover told investigators more about the mysterious video that he took of the Anthonys' private investigator Dominic Casey at the scene a month before Caylee's remains were found. Hoover said Dominic Casey was somber and knew where Caylee was. Hoover also said Dominic Casey told him to bring his cameras to the scene and asked him to videotape their so-called search, even though Dominic Casey told investigators under oath he did not know he was being videotaped.
When they saw three pavers at the scene, Hoover told detectives that Mr. Casey told him, "Oh, this looks like a gravesite. Get a shot of this!" and poked into the ground with a gardening tool. He said Dominic Casey made at least four phone calls while he was there the first time.
Hoover told investigators that Cindy and George seemed to accept, just a few days after the remains were found on December 11, that they were Caylee's, before the DNA test results confirmed it.


BOTANIST COMMENTS OF CAYLEE'S REMAINS
An expert botanist thinks Caylee's remains could have been in the area near the Anthony home for as long as six months. Dr. David Gall examined the scene on Suburban Drive, as well as pictures of the plastic bag that held the remains.
Dr. Hall said growth in the area and tiny roots found on the plastic bag suggest the skeletal remains had been there two to six months before they were discovered in December.

Casey Anthony case: She wept at video of Caylee, WKMG reports
posted by halboedeker on Mar 5, 2009 12:46:04 PM
<snipped>
In the first month Caylee Anthony went missing, mom Casey Anthony wept when looking at video of the toddler, WKMG-Channel 6 reported at noon Thursday.
The witness was former boyfriend Tony Lazzaro, and the information was contained in new documents the state released. The video was of Caylee with her great-grandfather at his nursing home. Casey Anthony is charged with the first-degree murder of her child.
"Lazzaro said it was not an all-out gut-buster cry, like he had seen a few weeks earlier when he joked about breaking up with Casey and moving away," WKMG's Mike DeForest reported.
WESH-Channel 2, WFTV-Channel 9 and WKMG raced through the documents to bring headlines to viewers at noon and promised more details in later newscasts. WFTV highlighted the visual material that was released, including a picture of a heart and images of skulls kissing from Casey's Photobucket.com account. At noon, WKMG offered the most information.


WKMG also brought in investigative reporter Tony Pipitone to provide analysis. He highlighted that private eye James Hoover secretly took pictures of the Anthony family in hopes of making money.
Another Pipitone highlight: Lazzaro agreed to let law enforcement tap his phone and monitor his movements when he met Lee Anthony, who was privately playing detective to gain more information. And what of Lee Anthony? "It seems like Lee Anthony, who has said all along that he had no knowledge about any of this, is bearing up under this," Pipitone said. "It's consistent with what he's been saying all along: That he believed his sister and he was trying to figure out what happened to his niece."

Skulls, skeletons seen in pictures released in Casey Anthony case
Reported by: Cary Williams
Email: cwilliams@abcactionnews.com
Last Update: 3:26 pm
<snipped>
Orange County, FL -- New documents were released Thursday in the Casey Anthony murder case.
Included in the more than 20 pages of material were pictures from Casey's Photobucket.com Web account showing skulls and skeletons kissing.
There is also a photo of Caylee Anthony with a heart. It's similar to the heart sticker that was found with the toddler's skeletal remains, according to WFTV.
Earlier this week, the defense lost a bid to keep racy photos of Casey and other material out of the public eye. But the Circuit Judge Stan Strickland denied the motion.

Anthony's Former Boyfriend, Brother Meet In Secret
Detectives Listen In On Conversation
POSTED: Thursday, March 5, 2009
UPDATED: 7:28 pm EST March 5, 2009
<snipped>
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A secret meeting took place last July between Casey Anthony&#8217;s former boyfriend, Tony Lazarro, and her brother, Lee Anthony, Local 6 News reported.
The meeting was scheduled for 6 p.m. on July 29, 2008 in front of a Subway sandwich shop in East Orange County.
Lee had requested the meeting to discuss Lazarro&#8217;s relationship with his sister, authorities said. When they met, Lazarro was wearing an audio/visual device so detectives could listen in on the conversation. Investigators even provided him with an undercover vehicle outfitted with the same equipment.
Lee got into the passenger seat and talked to Lazarro about trying to get to the bottom of little Caylee Anthony's disappearance.
He asked Lazarro about a number of tips, like the ones about Caylee being moved around to different houses in town and out of state.
Lee Anthony also mentioned that he was worried about Casey's former fiancé, Jesse Grund, and his possible involvement in the case.
