They will try and make Casey the victim of over zealous prosecutors, unfair police investigations, and abusive parents. imoo

Respectfully snipped. As a Florida taxpayor I am just steamed they couldn't admit this at the very beginning and get it over with. If this is their case, why drag it out? Over zealous prosecutors - the ones who had to press forward on a case for the truth of what happened? Unfair police investigations - it's unfair because she kept lying to them? If she had admitted it was an accident during the first visit to the house, there wouldn't have been an unfair investigation to begin with. Abusive parents may have come in later as an excuse. MOO

But, Oh you'll definitely see cross examinations by me and if we have to put on a defense, if it goes that far then you'll see both of us putting on defense witnesses.

What exactly does he mean "if it goes that far"? There is only one reason in my mind that "it wouldn't go that far" and that would be if there is a plea deal.

I too wonder if 'if it goes that far' means ICA will plead out...or are they going to ask for a dismissal of the charges since CMason feels this was a tragic accident and ICA is OVER CHARGED in this..

I go back to her interview. She was given many opportunities to tell what really happened and she stuck to her story. Now 5 days before trial we see another change in direction by the defense. Why then, did Baez have this going on for almost three years if a tragic accident happened and ICA panicked...Does he think the jury will forgive her actions along with that duct tape? Large leap for them to even insinuate that for the evidence would have to fit with an accident theory and it just doesn't, JMHO

Justice for Caylee

[Softail]

They are talking about the media appeal right now.

Mike Brooks says he has talked to alot of people - Everyone wants this trial to start on time.

They all seem to agree that the agreement is reasonable.

[Softail]

Christy just said by Casey not reporting her missing does not make her MOTY, but it also doesn't make her a murderer!

3 judge panel will decide the appeal.

Diana Tennis - Defense attorney - Doesn't think this will cause jury selection to be delayed. Either way, she thinks we go as planned on Monday.

Casey Jordan thinks jury selection will last weeks - Will not be done in 4 or 5 days.

[wenwe4]

In Session reporting
Justices Palmer, Griffin & Evander (3 judge panel) will be hearing the appeal for the Media to release info where jury selection will be from . . . talking heads predicting there will be no delay in trial . . . Casey J. saying she doesn't think the media will prevail. . .

[wenwe4]

Mike B saying chosing & seating a jury . . . there's always a possiblity of a juror wanting to write their book or have ulterior motives. . . . both sides are going to make sure there will be fair & impartial jurors . . . and he thinks HHBP will rule with an iron fist to ensure there will be fair trial

[Softail]

The 3 judge panel knows this is a time sensitive matter and is reviewing it now!

OS rep is on - They were not a party to the original motion or the appeal. Their position was that they are reporters. They use sources to find out information, and will report using those avenues. Going to work as hard as they can to report what they find.

Asking him why the others decided to back out of appeal. He can't speak to their motivations, but thinks it would be reprehensible to most journalists.

Do you think we will find out what happened to Caylee? We think we will get close to the truth, but may never know.

[wenwe4]

Anthony C. from Orlando Sentinal and In Session are not part of the appeal . . . "we are reporters and work under difficult situations all the time . . . use sources and various information . . .we will find out where jury selection will be done and we will report it . . . they will not sign confidentiality agreement and will find out on their own, independant of the court. Restraint is reprehensible to most journalists, taught that in Journalism 101, you get people who are consumed and obsessed with case and are immersed . . . but there are many people who want this trial to be over already.

Don't know if we are going to learn the entire truth . . . only kc knows that.

[wenwe4]

Sentinal has not been in contact with GA & CA for quite some time. . .

31 Days reason away by defense? They will need to explain and attack during the openings. . . they have given some hints where they might be going . . . holding it pretty close to the vest . .. until we see it in openings.

[Patty G]

Orlando Sentinal is getting on my nerves with regards to them working hard to get the info so they can report it!

[Softail]

They are showing Monday's hearing again now.

[wenwe4]

Dianna T: Most likely option is to uphold HHBP's ruling as media rights are not nearly as important as defendant's rights to fair trial. Believes they will have a decsion before Monday doesn't think anything would keep trial from happening.

[Softail]

Diana Tennis - Defense Attorney - Too much money has gone into preparation, she really does not think this will cause any delay!

[wenwe4]

Casey J says "stretch of logic" for the media . . . just sign confidentiality agreement . . . not surprised the media appealed . . . no one blames them but balance it out . . . appellate court will affirm HHBP's ruling.

[wenwe4]

Orlando Sentinal are going with own sources as other news organizations . . . no leaks coming out of HHBP staff or OC LE per Mike B.

Ryan reading media argument

[wenwe4]

Media outlets argument there are least restrictive alternatives. . . . can HHBP subjective opinion about what keeps kc's rights as well as media.

[wenwe4]

Dianna T says Jury selection is a very boring event for the media because you can't take pictures of prospective jurors anyway . . . they will just be spending the day . . . they just want to make a point rather than the practicalities in this case

[wenwe4]

Ryan S said Judges have not filed a stay . . . so no delay as of yet.
playing clips of HHBP saying take an evidentiary hearing . . .If I am wrong, I am wrong and the Dist. Court of Appeals will tell me I am wrong . . . evidentiary hearing . . . DT file a continuance . . .delay . . . gag order . . . cooling off period.

Limitation on access . . . not publish the location . . . person on the street inteview . . oversaturation of news accounts . . . what purpose do you want to find out before time . . . set up your trucks before time . . . publish it, increase ratings, stories about the make up of that particular location without consideration for defendants due process rights for a fair trial.

[wenwe4]

Jean C. saying it will be very simple . . . either 3 judge panel will grant it or deny it

[wenwe4]

Expediancy for 3 judge panel will either vacate it or deny it . . .there are other ways the jury could be tainted.

Of course the media will say the public has a right to know . . . kc's rights to due process trumps it .. per Casey J. She thinks HHBP's balancing act is best but it is not written in stone . . .that is why they call them judges

[Softail]

I love how they just keep showing what media is involved with this appeal!!

[wenwe4]

First time a confidentiality agreement ever been made in a court. . . setting precedent for the future according to Jean C

[wenwe4]

WOFL and WKMG and Central Fl. news dropped out, not part of the appeal process.

[wenwe4]

Mike B said Dianna T thinks it will be West Palm Beach Palm Beach County. Costs play into it? Not a big factor . . .

[wenwe4]

Dianna T said a logistical mess when trial starts . . .why step on Judge's toes?
