1 Year Ago, Caylee Case Went Public
Search For Toddler Began 1 Year Ago Thursday
POSTED: Wednesday, July 15, 2009
UPDATED: 3:52 pm EDT July 16, 2009
<snipped>
At 4:11 a.m. on July 16, 2009, Detective Yuri Melich with the Orange County Sheriff's Department recorded a conversation with Casey Anthony, which took place in her parents' east Orange County home.

Melich suggested to Casey Anthony that she admit she was lying about leaving Caylee with a baby sitter name Zenaida Gonzalez, a woman who has never been found.

"If you're basically, if you're trying to fabricate a story to kind of make something look a little bit better, now is your time to tell me. Are you telling me that this is a story you want to stick with?" Melich asked Casey Anthony.

"That's the truth. It's the story I'm going to stick with. Yes," Casey Anthony said.

Later that morning, Casey Anthony led Melich to places she claimed the baby sitter had ties to. She then led him to Universal Studios, where she claimed to have a job, but then once inside the building she told him she left the job in 2005.

At 1:20 p.m., Casey Anthony participated in another recorded conversation, this time with Sgt. John Allen.

"We got all the way into the building, into the hallway out here before you finally say, "Well, I really don't have an office here.' But we were walking to your office, right?" Allen said.

Casey Anthony said yes, and when asked if it made sense to her, she told Allen, "I understand how all that sounds."

Based on the expert testimony the state attorney has assembled, prosecutors are prepared to argue that Caylee's body was already rotting in a swamp a few blocks from the Anthony family's home and that Casey Anthony dumped the body there after putting it in the trunk of her car.

Casey Anthony Case -- One Year Later
Thursday, July 16, 2009 8:36:47 AM
<snipped>
The 911 call may end up being a key piece of evidence for prosecutors.

They will likely have to fight to get forensic air samples from the trunk of Casey's car admitted into evidence.

Casey was arrested roughly 24 hours after the 911 call.

Thursday will mark one year since we all first saw video of Casey being arrested, and heard Caylee's name and saw her face for the first time.

A year later, there is a court file in the homicide case against Casey. She's also facing criminal charges of check fraud and a civil defamation case.

Casey's all-star defense team faces the most immediate task of trying to delay the check fraud case until after the criminal case.

The defense has yet to reveal why they believe Casey is innocent.

Casey was taken into custody on July 16, charged with child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation. Her bond was set at $500,200. She was bonded out by a California bounty hunter on August 21.

The remains of a small child were found less than half a mile away from Casey's home in Orlando on December 11, 2008. On December 19, 2009 a medical examiner determined the remains were those of missing Caylee Anthony.

On Tuesday February 10, 2009 a public memorial service was held for Caylee.

Casey Anthony&#8217;s murder trial is scheduled to begin with a pretrial hearing on January 21, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., with plans for a trial date sometime next summer.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Late Thursday afternoon, the defense in the case against Casey Anthony filed motions to delay Casey's check fraud trial and keep Leonard Padilla from talking about their conversations while he was involved in Casey's case.

The defense also received 800 pages of documents, much of which focused on Casey's ex-fiancé, Jesse Grund.

The documents included Grund's personnel file from the Orlando Police Department and lab reports on evidence from Casey's car.

Jose Baez agreed to sit down with FOX 35 reporter Holly Bristow and answer a firestorm of questions but he wouldn't get down to the nitty gritty of the case.

On the low side

Jose Baez: &#8220;One would think a high profile case would give the public the opportunity to learn about the system, our public justice system and the law. Unfortunately I've learned that it&#8217;s more about entertainment than what actually transpires in the criminal justice system.

More than 6,000 pages of documents and hours of DVD's have been released during the discovery process. They've revealed everything from jail house interviews between Casey and police to scandalous pictures of Casey dirty dancing while her daughter was missing.

Holly Bristow: Has it changed your opinion of Florida's public records laws?

&#8220;I'll be honest with you, I've never gave much thought to public records laws. While I've utilized them to gain information on many of my cases I have never realized the double edged sword and the harm it could do to our system. I think what's important with the Casey Anthony case everyone realized no matter how you feel about the case or its participants you should always remember that what happens in her case, specifically because it&#8217;s a high profile case, affects us all.&#8221;

Right now there is no official trial date set for the murder case against Casey Anthony. Baez says that by this time next year the trial should be over.

Anthony's Defense Files New Motion
Defense Seeks To Block Testimony From Bounty Hunter

POSTED: Thursday, July 16, 2009
UPDATED: 5:59 pm EDT July 16, 2009



ORLANDO, Fla. -- Attorneys for Casey Anthony asked a judge to block prosecutors from getting any testimony from bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his associates.

Anthony's defense attorneys filed the motion Thursday afternoon. They said Padilla and his partners had a privacy agreement with the defense, so anything they learned would be considered privileged information.

The defense is also seeking access to documents created by Texas Equusearch and its founder Tim Miller. The search group assisted in searches for Anthony's missing daughter, Caylee Anthony.

The documents the defense is seeking are in Texas and are not subject to Florida circuit court subpoenas, but the defense is seeking to have Miller certified as a material witness. The defense hopes to add more weight to the their argument that Miller and the records he maintains identifying those who searched for Caylee's body should be produced.

Meter reader Roy Kronk found Caylee's body in December after five months of searching.

Anthony is being held at the Orange County Jail on no bond on murder charges in the death of her daughter.

UPDATED: Defense Wants Padilla's Casey Conversations Thrown Out
Thursday, July 16, 2009 9:48:04 PM
<snipped>
Several new motions were filed by the defense that they hope will give Casey Anthony an advantage when the case eventually goes to trial.

One hundred and ten pages of motions were filed by Casey&#8217;s attorneys late Thursday afternoon.

The motions cover three main areas.

*The defense wants to delay the criminal check fraud trial\

*They want documents from Tim Miller and Texas EquuSearch

*Jose Baez and team wants bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his associates to not be able to talk about their conversations with Casey Anthony.

The defense team also wants videos, photos, maps and charts. It&#8217;s everything that Texas EquuSearch has relating to their search for Caylee Anthony.

The judge denied a similar motion in late January.

But in the new motion, the defense is able to offer much more background and what they see as relevant information to try and get the judge to approve their request.

Defense sources said Casey never made any incriminating statements to Padilla or his people.

But the defense doesn't want them on the witness stand or have any of their interviews released to the media.

Attorneys for Casey Anthony ask judge to put off check fraud trial
6:56 PM EDT, July 16, 2009
<snipped>
Attorneys Jose Baez and Andrea Lyon argued that they're too busy preparing for Anthony's first-degree murder case to handle a fraud trial. Anthony faces the death penalty in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. Trial is delayed until next year at the earliest.

In a separate motion, Anthony's defense asked that testimony from bounty hunter Leonard Padilla be barred from her murder case. Padilla bonded Anthony out of jail and signed a privacy agreement with Baez preventing him from taping Anthony's statements. The agreement also emphasizes Padilla does not represent Baez's law firm, according to court documents.

In another motion, defense attorneys asked Tim Miller, head of search group Texas Equusearch, be certified as a material witness in the murder case. Miller's group helped search for Caylee Marie Anthony. The defense motion argues Miller has crucial information on how efforts were conducted.

Casey Anthony: Defense team files flurry of papers, WESH says
posted by halboedeker on Jul 16, 2009 8:43:13 PM
<snipped>
Lots of action on the Casey Anthony front. Or as WESH-Channel 2 anchor Martha Sugalski put it: "This afternoon, her defense team filed a flurry of new court papers."

Defense attorney Jose Baez wants law enforcement interviews with bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his workers kept from the public. WESH's Bob Kealing termed the defense's move "significant" because a Padilla employee spent a week with Anthony "and allegedly heard her say some potentially damaging things."

WFTV-Channel 9 touched quickly on the latest developments. "More paper shuffling in the case against Casey," anchor Martie Salt said.

WESH noted that in another motion, Baez seeks access to Texas EquuSearch records.


How many new pages were released today?

The defense received nearly 1,400 pages of evidence from the state -- "bringing the total number of pages now to 8,000," Kealing said.

The defense received "800 pages of documents, much of which focused on ex-fiance Jesse Grund," Salt said.

Baez Wants To Block More Information In Anthony Case
Attorney Files Motion To Keep Bounty Hunter Interviews Out Of Public Eye
POSTED: 5:22 pm EDT July 16, 2009
UPDATED: 6:33 pm EDT July 16, 2009
<snipped>
Baez wants to keep police interviews of bounty hunter Leonard Padilla from being released. One of those employees is particularly important -- the woman who spent more than a week with Anthony when Padilla posted her bond last August.

In the motion, Baez argues that Padilla and his staff were working for him last August when nephew Tony Padilla bailed Anthony out of jail so their statements to the police about what they heard from Anthony are privileged and should not be made public.

While she was out of jail and Caylee was still missing, Anthony allegedly blurted out, "They haven't even found the clothes she was wearing." In November, Padilla confirmed the statement.

What else Anthony may have told McLaughlin and other employees remains a mystery.

McLaughlin to this point has maintained a very low profile and turned multiple down interview requests.

Baez filed the motion now because the statements from Padilla and his employees were due to be part of an evidence release from the state attorney's office later this month.
