UPDATED: Baez Denies Defense Withheld Anthony Evidence Lee Anthony Faces Deposition On Thursday

UPDATED: 5:32 pm EDT July 30, 2009
<snipped> Outside the Orange County Courthouse Baez was on the defensive a single document among more than 1,000 released on Thursday. It is a laundry list of items his spokeswoman said they took from the Anthony home in September, such as books, baby toys, puzzle pieces and Spiderman toothbrush.
Baez was asked if he was he withholding potentially important evidence.
"Absolutely not and indication of that would be false and ridiculous," he said. "We did the ethical thing and there should be proof of that."
Also, an FBI document released on Thursday from June 2009 indicates that Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy, and her brother, Lee, declined to take polygraphs.
Baez would not talk about why.
There also was a police report from August 2008 that indicated Cindy Anthony may have been trying to establish that "Zanny the nanny" really existed.
2nd Headline: Lee Anthony Faces Deposition Lee Anthony did not respond to reporter's questions when he arrived with his attorney, Tom Luka, who said they would comment when the deposition is completed.
Cindy Anthony completed a round of depositions on Wednesday. She is considered a key witness for attorneys on both sides of the case.
"She's a loose cannon, and you have to rein her in and get her testimony very concise. You want to advance your case using her," defense attorney Richard Hornsby said.
Hornsby said he believes Cindy Anthony is critical to the state's theory of motive, and they need to get her story on the record in case it changes at trial. He also said he believes Baez will use her to prove Casey Anthony is not guilty.
Casey Anthony Documents Released Hundreds of pages of new evidence were released on Thursday in the case against Casey Anthony.
For those wondering, there are 18 PDFs that were released this morning.
P.S. I'll add the title to each Part of docs shortly! TIA Thanks so much PattyG for helping & adding names to files! :blowkiss:

UPDATED: 1,394 Pages Of Docs Released In Casey Anthony Case

<snipped> He's Casey Anthony's ex-lover, but could the defense try to make him its fall guy? Eyewitness News sorted through 1,394 pages of documents released Thursday in the case against Casey and hundreds of those pages focus on just one man.
Jesse Grund and his father worry the defense will use the documents to keep trying to create suspicion. Eyewitness News Googled Jesse Grund's name Thursday and found more than 96,000 hits and he's taken hits of his own from Casey Anthony, who told her family not to trust him.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer wouldn't expect the Anthonys' statements to be admissible at trial and questions what the defense would gain by attacking Grund's credibility; Grund's not the only one who says Casey is a liar, that she was not upset after Caylee's disappearance and that she told many stories about where Caylee was.
"No juror's going to believe that a dozen people in the community or more have conspired to frame this girl," Sheaffer said.
The new documents also confirm that Cindy, George and Lee Anthony are the only ones who were asked by the FBI to take voluntarily polygraph tests who refused. Now, prosecutors are getting their statements under oath (read FBI request).

Attorney tried to get earlier hearing in Casey Anthony civil case but judge turned him down Lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez wanted an earlier hearing date in the Casey Anthony civil case.
4:53 AM EDT, July 30, 2009
<snipped> Lawyers representing a Kissimmee woman suing Casey Anthony for defamation in civil court asked a judge this morning for an earlier hearing date to address certain issues.
But Orange Circuit Court Judge Jose R. Rodriguez said he is booked up with other cases until then.
A hearing is currently set for Sept. 8. However, Keith Mitnik with the Morgan & Morgan law firm, which is representing Zenaida Gonzalez, a 38-year-old mother of six, wanted an earlier date so the case can progress.
The September hearing will address questions Casey Anthony, her parents and her brother refused to answer during interviews with Morgan & Morgan.
Rodriguez advised Mitnik to check everyday to check for cancelled hearings, which may free up another time.
UPDATED: Prosecutors release documents in Casey Anthony case The State Attorney's Office released documents in the Casey Anthony case.
10:43 AM EDT, July 30, 2009
<snipped> Here are some points of interest:
*The Orlando Police Department released the personnel file of Casey Anthony's former boyfriend Jesse Grund. Records show Grund was enrolled in the police training program in 2007 and 2008. He resigned for "personal reasons" in June 2008, according to a resignation letter he sent to Chief Val Demings. Records show he garnered mostly positive reviews, but was reassigned to remedial training at one point. The documents show he came in late and also failed to pay for a vehicle registration.
*Hundreds of pages included in the batch are transcribed interviews with Cindy and George Anthony. These interviews were done last summer after Caylee was reported missing but before her remains had been found. These are interviews are not new. Cindy Anthony talked about how she was tried to get more information from Casey Anthony about where the toddler was and George Anthony spoke about the horrible smell in Casey's car.

UPDATED: Lee Anthony To Face Tough Questions In Deposition
Posted: 6:05 am EDT July 30, 2009
Updated: 12:51 pm EDT July 30, 2009
<snipped> Lee Anthony's attorney, Tom Luka, said his client will not avoid answering the tough questions, because the line of questioning will be based on facts and not his opinion about his sister or what she may have done.
Prosecutors want to know what Lee saw or heard during the months before she was arrested and charged with murdering her daughter Caylee.
Luka says his client is not nervous and understands that this is part of the judicial process.
"It's a common legal strategy to want to know what your witnesses are going to say before you actually talk to them," said Luka.
Cindy Anthony spent 13 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday answering prosecutors' questions. Casey's attorney Jose Baez was there to listen.
At one point, there was concern that Lee Anthony may be charged with obstruction of justice because of contradicting statements he had given to sheriff's investigators in the past. Now that Lee Anthony has been granted immunity he does not have to worry about that any longer.

UPDATED: More Anthony case discovery released
Updated: Thursday, 30 Jul 2009, 6:05 PM EDT
Published : Thursday, 30 Jul 2009, 11:20 AM EDT
<snipped> Among the information released Thursday were reports of unconfirmed Caylee Anthony sightings; FBI requests for polygraph tests of witnesses; and records of Casey's ex-fiance, Jesse Grund, who was enrolled in the Orlando Police training program but resigned in 2008 for personal reasons.
There are also transcripts of interviews conducted with her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.
On July 7, 2009 Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland canceled the planned October 2009 trial date for the State vs. Casey Anthony and scheduled a pretrial hearing for January 21, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., with plans for a trial date sometime during the summer of 2010.
Casey Anthony: What is brother Lee telling prosecutors?
posted by halboedeker on Jul 30, 2009 1:14:35 PM
<snipped> WKMG-Channel 6's Jessica Sanchez described Lee as "his typical silent and stoic self" at the prosecutor's offices. Lee's attorney wasn't going to comment until the deposition was over, which could go into the late afternoon, Sanchez said. But Jose Baez, Casey's attorney, promised to talk after a lunch break, Sanchez said.
The 1,500 pages "revealed some telling information about the Anthony family and what they said about Casey's former boyfriend Jesse Grund," WFTV-Channel 9 anchor Liz Artz said.
WKMG's Mike DeForest said the documents reveal that, after Caylee disappeared, Cindy Anthony gave investigators some items that a babysitter might have touched. He added that investigators have repeatedly said the babysitter doesn't exist.
WESH-Channel 2's Amanda Ober highlighted that defense attorney Baez was sitting in all the depositions. "It's an opportunity for him to try and learn what the state may have planned when the trial comes around, just by listening to what questions they're asking the Anthony family," Ober said.
UPDATED: More Info Released In Anthony Case
POSTED: Thursday, July 30, 2009
UPDATED: 2:24 pm EDT July 30, 2009
<snipped> According to one of the documents, Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, turned over a box full of items to the FBI. Among the items in the box were a Spiderman toothbrush, Tylenol drops, three children's books, toy food and utensils, a pillow case, a bed sheet and a pink hat.
According to Casey Anthony's defense team spokeswoman Marti Mackenzie, a day after remains were found near the Anthony family home and a search warrant was served at the house, the defense notified the FBI and the Orange County Sheriff's Office that it had some of the family's belongings in its possession.
Baez was holding the items to obtain a DNA profile for the defense team, said Mackenzie, who added that Baez immediately turned the items over the FBI in December. The FBI forwarded the items to Orange County Sheriff's Office in April.
The defense also presented a four-page report entitled "independent forensics DNA testing and technologies." It's not known if the report was put together by Casey Anthony's defense team.
The documents also show that Cindy Anthony tried to provide detectives with proof that the mysterious baby sitter Zenaida Gonzalez existed.
Shortly after Caylee's disappearance, Cindy Anthony gave investigators several items that the baby sitter would have likely touched, such as toys and DVDs that Caylee reportedly took to Gonzalez's house.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office tested the items for fingerprints, but the results are unknown.
I posted these 3 video interviews, while editing updated docs, videos etc.(Post#10 have more videos included!), but I didn't want anyone to overlook them! TIA :wink:

Casey Anthony: Could 'spiteful b***' comment catch up with her?
posted by halboedeker on Jul 30, 2009 7:27:52 PM
<snipped> What was the most eye-catching evidence released today in the Casey Anthony case?
WESH-Channel 2 highlighted that Cindy Anthony pointed to two people as possible suspects in the disappearance of granddaughter Caylee. Casey Anthony is charged with daughter Caylee's murder.
Cindy Anthony cited Jesse Grund, Casey's former fiance, for his "hot temper" and said that Casey pal Amy Huizenga might be the mysterious Zanny the nanny, WESH's Bob Kealing reported. But Grund and Huizenga took lie-detector tests while the Anthonys have not, Kealing added.
WFTV also highlighted a conversation between Casey Anthony and brother Lee. When he asked why she wouldn't let the family see Caylee, Casey said, "Maybe I'm a spiteful b****." Prosecutors deposed Lee Anthony today.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said, "You don't have to prove motive, but when the defendant hands it to you on a silver platter, you don't ignore it. And that's exactly what she did with her statements to Lee."
