Casey Anthony case: Her grandmother's words are haunting

The insights from Casey Anthony's maternal grandmother are disturbing.
NBC's "Today" this morning highlighted those words and the Anthony family tensions. Grandmother Shirley Plesea told investigators,"I just wonder if she [Casey] hated her mom more than she loved Caylee."

Casey Anthony is charged with Caylee's murder. Her defense team says it will not respond to this information, released by the state last week, until her trial begins in the fall.

NBC reporter Kerry Sanders looked back at the time when Cindy Anthony, Casey's mom, was giving daily interviews. Plesea proved prophetic. "Cindy's out of control for one reason," Plesea told investigators. "If Cindy doesn't believe Casey, then Caylee's dead. Honest to God, that's my feeling."

How to make Case talk? Put her in the general jail population, Plesea said -- a comment that many readers have suggested.

UPDATED Expert: Evidence Proves Nanny Didn't Take Caylee
Detectives To Give Depo In Gonzalez Suit

A defense expert also said Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney, is painting himself and his client in to a corner by saying she is "innocent" rather than "not guilty."
Casey Anthony text messaged and made cell phone calls frequently. That's why a legal expert said it's damaging to her alibi that she had no record of phone calls or text messages to anyone named Zenaida or Zanny.

Criminal defense attorney Richard Hornsby said that fact will make it more difficult to convince a jury that a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez or Zanny took Caylee. In addition, no one in Casey Anthony's family recalls seeing this woman.
"How can you have a Nanny that's taking care of your child and you seem to have constant contact with your family and no one's seen her? It just defies logic,"

Hornsby said Baez is creating problems for himself by continually claiming Casey is "innocent" rather than "not guilty."
"When you say my client's innocent, you're assuming a burden that you're going to show a jury why she's innocent," Hornsby said.

With the amount of evidence against Casey Anthony, Hornsby said Baez should concentrate on creating enough reasonable doubt for a "not guilty" verdict.

Meanwhile, a pair of private eyes who at one time worked for George and Cindy Anthony are scheduled to give depositions this week in the Zenaida Gonzalez civil suit.
On Wednesday, James Hoover and Dominic Casey are due to give sworn testimony at the offices of Gonzalez's lawyers.

*NOTE: The depositions for Hoover & Casey are at 10AM & 1PM!
Padilla's was postponed until May 19th....Mogan wants wait till he has completed the depos for Cindy & George on April 9th before he does his deposition with Padilla.

The bounty hunter who loves to talk will have to wait to be interviewed under oath in Casey Anthony's defamation case.

Leonard Padilla said he'll be questioned under oath for the civil case in May after her parents are interviewed by attorneys.
Padilla was going to be questioned on Wednesday – an interview scheduled months ago by attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez, the 38-year-old Kissimmee woman suing Anthony.

He said he's not fighting the deposition but attorneys wanted to talk to him after they speak with Anthony's parents, George Anthony and Cindy Anthony. Their depositions are set for next month at the office of Morgan & Morgan law firm.
Later this week, private investigators Dominic Casey and Jim Hoover are scheduled to be questioned at the law office.

Casey Anthony case: WESH asks how she's funding defense team
posted by halboedeker on Mar 23, 2009 6:44:56 PM

If she's doing it with stolen money, that would illegal, WESH-Channel 2's Bob Kealing noted in a thoughtful report tonight. Casey Anthony is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.
WESH reminded viewers of Anthony's dismal financial history: She was unemployed. She is accused of stealing money from a friend. Her grandmother revealed that Anthony could have made $45,000 in unauthorized charges on her parents' credit cards.

Kealing turned to Richard Hornsby, a criminal defense expert, to help explain the issue. "A person can't go steal from a bank and then use that same money to hire the best attorney to represent them," Hornsby said, sounding incredulous.

Kealing asked more questions as he recounted the history. Anthony hired attorney Jose Baez and paid him upfront. But how did she do it?

In a sworn affidavit, Anthony has said Baez has no right to sell her story or that of her daughter. The state has filed a motion to learn if Baez has made any deals that could be a conflict of interest in representing his client.
Baez has said he has no entertainment deals in the works related to the case. Baez also has called the state's action a witch hunt. Prosecutors fear a deal could lead to a verdict being overturned on appeal, Kealing said.

Baez's spokeswoman has acknowledged that Anthony has sold licensing rights to photos and video.

Anthony's affidavit is basically worthless, Hornsby said. "It doesn't address the issues that the state is concerned about," he added. "Who is paying Jose Baez? And is whoever's paying Jose Baez affecting how he's handling her case? There is no doubt all of this needs to be revealed."
