The probation officer met with her in person once, and they say followed up with phone calls. The probation officer knew Casey Anthony was incarcerater, therefore, to meet with her in person, would have to go to the Orange County Jail. The phone calls should count, as probation officers have huge leeway to set their own meeting rules. But, if they don't, it is the probation officer who would be at fault, not Casey Anthony.
Diane Dimond and JVM apparently are not aware that Florida law states that verbal sentencing takes precedence over written sentencing if there is a discrepancy. Also, probation is supposed to be "tolled" if the convict is being held on other charges. Read R. Hornsby's blog - he goes over this is nice detail about what the Florida law is regarding all of this.
I predict the State will not oppose the Defense motion to dismiss the VOP for lack of jurisdiction and double jeopardy. That Judge Perry will simply shrug and say if State doesn't have a problem with it, I don't. And she will once again get off as if she did nothing.
Casey's total days in jail at the time of sentencing on the lying charges was slightly over 1000 days.
Her sentence on the lying charges was 1460 days.
WTH?
Bolding mine.
Agreed. Just heard the same from another FL lawyer. So it seems that what this all boils down to is a clerical error on the part of the Clerk of Court. Hard to believe that something of such monumental impact can be chalked up to 'clerical error'. Seems there should be some 'check' in place to keep this kind of thing from happening. Apparently not.
Wow. Just wow.

I don't understand this double jeopardy malarky. Are you saying it's double jeopardy regarding probations too? You've got to be kidding?
yes. it is also double jeopardy. no one can be made the serve the same sentence twice.
