Casey Anthony: When is the deadline on her jail letters?

WESH-Channel 2 Jim Payne put it this way this afternoon: &#8220;One insider tells WESH2 the 15-day deadline imposed by Judge Stan Strickland is up Sunday. There&#8217;s a hearing in the case Monday on another issue.&#8221;

WFTV-Channel 9, however, said today is the deadline. Anchor Bob Opshal said, &#8220;The clerk&#8217;s office is closed today, and as far as we can tell, Casey&#8217;s attorney&#8217;s did not file a motion to keep those letters private. Investigators say the letters are incriminating, and the judge has said he will probably release them.&#8221;

What&#8217;s the right answer on the deadline? The clerk&#8217;s office is closed, as Opsahl noted. Maybe we&#8217;ll learn Monday.

Case Against Casey Returns To Court Monday
Friday, April 02, 2010 10:57:00 PM
Reported by Kelli Cook

ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony will be back in court Monday as she and her attorneys want to see more documents related to the search for Caylee.

The 15-day deadline for the defense to look over the letters and object to the release has now passed.

Judge Stan Strickland could decide next week whether or not he wants to make them public. The letters in question are the 50 notes Anthony wrote to a woman she befriended while in jail. The prosecutors aren't saying what's in the notes, only that they don't include a confession. Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents interviewed the woman, who's now in federal prison. She reportedly told them they passed the notes to each other, but the two haven't communicated since she was transferred.

On Monday, Anthony's defense team will ask a judge for Texas EquuSearch to turn over all of the names of EquuSearch volunteers and all documents in possession of the group. A motion just filed by the NeJame Law Firm said Anthony's defense is wasting the court's time and taxpayers’ money with these frivolous motions.

Deadline to Object to Release of Jailhouse Letters is&#8230;
Apr 3rd, 2010 by Richard Hornsby.
<snipped>
The deadline for filing an objection to Casey Anthony&#8217;s jailhouse letters is Monday at 5:00 p.m. &#8211; meaning the earliest the State could release them is Tuesday morning. This is because all legal deadlines in criminal cases are controlled by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040. (The rule is the same in civil cases as well, but defined under a separate number in the civil rules.)

Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040 - Computation of Time
In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, by order of court, or by anyapplicable statute, the day of the act or event from which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be counted, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day that is neither a Saturday, Sunday, nor legal holiday.

Anyway, the answer is that Casey Anthony&#8217;s defense team has until the close of business on Monday to file an objection to the release of the jailhouse letters. Meaning the earliest the State is legally allowed to release them is Tuesday morning (or maybe Monday at 5:01 p.m. &#8211; I&#8217;m not really sure on that).

Peace out my unfaithful and catch me this Sunday at 8.p.m. on &#8220;Watts up With This!&#8221; on BlogTalkRadio, while we discuss the latest Casey Anthony nonsense.

p.s. I spoke to someone at the State Attorney&#8217;s Office who has read the letters and the only thing he would tell me is that they are &#8220;drivel.&#8221;
