UPDATED: Casey Anthony's lawyers to question former meter reader today
Roy Kronk found Caylee Anthony's remains in December
9:18 a.m. EST, November 19, 2009
<snipped>
Kronk walked into the State Attorney's Office in Orlando for the deposition at about 8:15 a.m. The closed-door questioning began at 9 a.m., around the time two of Casey Anthony's attorneys arrived.

Anthony's lead attorney, Jose Baez, and other attorney said little to reporters gathered outside the State Attorneys Office as they walked into the deposition.

The two said they will be busy all day and may comment later.

UPDATED: New Anthony Defense Team Member Seen
P.I. Looking Into Past Of Man Who Found Caylee's Remains
POSTED: Thursday, November 19, 2009
UPDATED: 1:42 pm EST November 19, 2009
<snipped>
The man who found the remains of Caylee Anthony was deposed on Thursday by Casey Anthony's defense team, which has added a private investigator to its lineup.

A new member of the defense team was seen entering the courtroom on Thursday. Mort Smith is a Chicago-based private investigator who teaches his skills at DePaul University, the same school where fellow defense team member Andrea Lyon teaches.

Smith has been digging into Kronk's personal life for the past several months in an effort to uncover information that might discredit the former meter reader, or at least cast doubt on his story of how he found Caylee.

Mort Smith is a Chicago-based private investigator.

UPDATED: Anthony Motion Wants Kronk Treated As Suspect
Defense: Roy Kronk 'Ignored' As Suspect In Caylee's Death
POSTED: 6:05 am EST November 19, 2009

Casey Anthony's attorney filed a new motion to "introduce prior bad acts" by Roy Kronk, the former meter reader who found Caylee Anthony's remains.

The motion, filed late Thursday, came after Kronk spent the day giving a deposition behind closed doors to the defense.

Kronk will come back for a second day of depositions in the case against Casey Anthony.

Kronk's attorney dismissed the motion, saying the defense is looking for someone else to point a finger at.

While Kronk wrapped up a day of questioning by the defense, lawyers for Casey Anthony were busy filing motions suggesting Kronk should be considered a suspect in the death of Caylee Anthony.

"Mr. Kronk is a witness, not a suspect," wrote Kronk's attorney David Evans in a email sent to FOX 35. "He has cooperated fully with law enforcement from day one. He has nothing to hide, and has hidden nothing."

WHAT WILL THE JURY THINK IF SHE DOESN&#8217;T TAKE THE STAND??
<snipped>
This right is SO fundamental to our system of justice, that during the course of the trial, should the prosecutor even so much as mention, directly, or indirectly, the failure of the accused to take the witness stand to testify in his own behalf, the trial judge, upon a timely objection by the defense lawyer would be required to grant a mistrial, dismiss the jury, and order a new trial.

Next time, let&#8217;s discuss another topic of considerable interest to many of you: why is the State Attorney&#8217;s Office not charging the Anthonys with perjury?

UPDATED: Meter Reader Questioned By Casey's Defense
Posted: 11:43 am EST November 19, 2009

<snipped>
Eyewitness News asked how the defense will fight the evidence of coffin flies that were found in Casey&#8217;s trunk.

&#8220;Do you believe coffin flies were in the trunk or are you telling us there weren't coffin flie?&#8221; Belich asked.

&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to comment,&#8221; Jose Baez responded.

&#8220;I think we're going to see them so how are you going to fight that?&#8221; asked Belich.

&#8220;I'm not going to comment on what we plan on doing. If that were the case, I might as well cash it in right now,&#8221; he said.

Eyewitness News learned that the defense isn&#8217;t finished. Baez plans to question Kronk again and said he's also considering a guilty plea in Casey's check fraud case which will be heard in January.

For the first time, Casey Anthony&#8217;s lawyers are pointing the finger at someone else.

Shortly after the motion being filed by Anthony's defense team, Kronk's attorney, David Evans, released the following statement.

"Today, the Casey Anthony defense team commenced, but did not complete, the deposition of Roy Kronk in the State v. Casey Anthony case. Shortly after adjourning the deposition, the Anthony defense team filed a Motion, Memorandum of Law, and accompanying materials suggesting that Roy Kronk, the individual who found Caylee Anthony's remains and repeatedly reported his find to law enforcement agencies, should be considered a suspect in the murder of Caylee Anthony.

Casey Anthony: Roy Kronk quiet, cool on way to deposition

On WKMG-Channel 6, Mike DeForest speculated on what was happening in the deposition. "Casey Anthony's attorneys are likely grilling Kronk about why he returned to those woods and whether someone may have tipped him off that the child's body was there," DeForest said.

DeForest said the deposition could continue Friday.

The stations promised updates later today.

Casey Anthony: Roy Kronk says he's thankful to have a lawyer -- deposition will have a second part

Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee Anthony's remains, was deposed today by Casey Anthony's attorneys. There will be a second day of questioning, probably after Thanksgiving.

A pretrial hearing on Casey Anthony's check-fraud trial is set for Dec. 11, and that trial is set for Jan. 25, WFTV anchor Bob Opsahl said. A pretrial hearing in her murder trial is set for Jan. 21, Opsahl added.

WESH's Sugalski noted that Dominic Casey, the attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, is scheduled to be deposed by the defense team on Dec. 16.

Anthony's Defense Says Meter Reader Has History Of Abuse, Restraining Women
POSTED: Thursday, November 19, 2009

The motion asks the court "to allow Anthony to introduce at trial circumstantial evidence tending to indicate that a third party, and not Miss Anthony, is equally likely to be responsible for the death of the child Caylee Marie Anthony."

These allegations come the same day Kronk was deposed for several hours and the defense team unveiled its newest member, Mort Smith, a private investigator and professor at DePaul University.

Kronk's attorney, David Evans, issued a news release Thursday evening stating his client is a witness, not a suspect.

Evans said Kronk has always understood he may become a target of the defense.

Kronk's deposition will continue on Friday.

Casey Anthony case: Defense points fingers at Roy Kronk as potential murder suspect
7:44 p.m. EST, November 19, 2009
<snipped>
"In their zeal to defend Casey Anthony, defense counsel has filed papers with the Court that are filled with allegations that have no basis in fact and falsely accuse Mr. Kronk of various types of bad behavior," Evans said in an e-mail. "The State will respond to these papers in due course in the criminal proceedings."

Transcripts of interviews with Kronk's two ex-wives, son, and a longtime live-in girlfriend's daughter depict the former meter reader as an untrustworthy man willing to resort to violence. No police reports or other supporting documentation were provided.

Casey Anthony: Defense points to Roy Kronk as suspect -- will that approach work?
posted by halboedeker on Nov 19, 2009 6:31:03 PM
<snipped>
WESH-Channel 2's Bob Kealing summed up the motion: "They are trying to paint him [Kronk] as a suspect rather than a witness." Kealing noted that the motion was "in direct contrast to everything we heard from Kronk and his attorney earlier today."

Kronk's attorney, David Evans, told Kealing that the defense team obviously has to find another person to point a finger at, that it's Kronk, and that this development is unfortunate.

Pipitone offered analysis of the motion: "One big problem with that is that there's no evidence we know of that Roy Kronk knew Casey Anthony, had any contact with Casey Anthony or Caylee Anthony."
