Case Against KC in Jeopardy?

[amethyst221]

Ya'll make my head spin (in a good way), So anything JB says, takes away from his being able to claim Attorney-Client privilege?

I'll lump it all together as JB appears to do, even though I don't think his client's visible, observable reactions and voluntary statements while he was not present could possibly be covered by A/C privilege. Anyway, he is whining because others are describing or characterizing her reactions and have stated she asked to be sedated. Tapes would show her, with no spin. If this is all really privileged, then why is he describing and characterizing her reactions to the media, and stating that she was sedated, giving his interpretation? Isn't that breaching her privilege?

This all gets silly at a point, because he never seems to make a real, supportable, clear legal argument. I have no desire to destroy A/C privilege, however awful I find the defendant. No doubt non-verbal communications could be covered. For example, if Mr. B and the defendant were taped and he was asking her, "Did you do it, Casey?" and she gave a vigorous, visible up and down head shake, I'd call it an A/C communication and call it a day. It's a whole other thing if what you hear on your cell radio makes you lose your appetite for nacho chips, get nasty sweaty palms and go all blotchy and unattractive.

Baez also, many weeks ago, raised objection to violation of his client's privacy and specifically, her medical privacy. That is what he found violated by the escort to the infirmary and subsequent video tape of her reaction to television she was allowed to watch there. He asserted that information from her medical jacket was provided to the SA. This charge was found to be false.

Separately, he objects to intrusions into his conferences with the accused at that time, claiming some sessions were captured on tape without audio.

As to the infirmary video, he reviewed the tape for 15 days. The hearing on May 7 should clear up many issues as SA and Baez argue his motion.

Will the latest issues with LE not following up on leads cause problems with this trial?

No because that did not alter the outcome of finding the remains. There is no way LE can follow every lead, and most are not credible. The officer who bumbled those will be fired, and hopefully nothing like that will happen in the future, but there were things found all over Orlando which WERE picked up and tested.

They have SO MUCH in this case, nothing is going to change the outcome, except maybe when KC blames George for the murder. That is going to happen you know.........

That makes sense...thanks!

Ummm???

"This is the kind of thing that gets people new trials," she told the station. "Everybody has a right to strict confidence of their conversation with their lawyer. Just because you're in jail doesn't mean you have any less of a right."

I am really wondering about some of these news agencies and talking heads. KC has not had A trial yet. So there is no ground for a new trial. The best that the defense can hope for is this error means that the jury will never see those tapes. It really doesn't matter if the public sees them. The public is not the jury. They arrested KC for muder long before those jail house tapes were recorded. They arrested her for murder before the body and its direct ties to the A household were discovered. They have more then enough evidence to convict regardless of her breaking down when the body was found. Yes it is a nice piece of evidence to tie it all together. But it is not needed.

And the accidental release of a video under consideration by the court while problematic for the prosecutors on the level of judicial administration (ie someone somewhere may lose their job) is not something that should have any direct impact on KC's trial charges or current incarceration.

Also, it is possible that the judge may rule that there is no violation with these tapes and allow the release of the video. I'm almost betting that he does, and then, I think, the inadvertant release of the audios won't really matter, because they would have been released anyway. JB is just trying to make the SA seem under-handed and incompetent. We will just have to wait and see how this plays out.

My money is on JG. It seems they are circling the wagons around him.

The only thing which bothers me about JG is how KC went to his apartment to take a shower. If she was planning on accusing him, there is no telling what she could have planted or taken from his apartment to try to indicate him somehow.

The fact she went to his apartment out of the blue has always bothered me. If she did get something to plant, or planned to indicate him, then she had help planning that with another family member.

OK, I understand that this was accidentally leaked and should not have been out there for the public as of yet -

But are you telling me, honestly, that in this country, a guilty person can WALK simply because someone made a mistake?

That is BS!

I am so tired of this case dragging on and exhausted by the new twists - what exactly does this evidence being released have to do with the fact that KC killed her 2 year old daughter?

Any legal gurus out there feel like explaining what thsi could mean for prosecution? Can she appeal if found guilty now?

I don't think any of this is going to matter. I personally believe that a plea deal will be offered and Casey will accept it.

If convicted, she can appeal her conviction unless she waives the right to do so (at least that's how it is here where I live). It's possible that part of the plea deal may be that she agrees to waive her rights to appeals (that would probably happen if the charges are upgraded to the DP-and exchange of sorts for the State not putting her to death). I believe there is overwhelming evidence that is going to prove Casey killed Caylee. Just sit tight...these cases take time.

It's too bad the defendant's attorney was so opposed to a gag order in this case, isn't it?

I couldn't have said it better myself. I have been thinking this for sometime now. I hope after this case that Florida will rethink this stupid law! That being said I'm glad we have had the document dumps but I still think it's a weird law.

One thing that has be confused is where the darn video tape is! If they released it, then where the heck is it?? Not trying to sound horrible here....but if she freaked out on camera and it was released to the public, then I wanna see it gosh darn it!
Two more things that I'm a little lost on: 1.Would people have to actually SEE the video for it to be a violation of her privacy or is it a big deal based only on the fact that it got released? If nobody saw it, then why does it matter if it was released? Is the whole thing based on what the public COULD have seen because of the release?
