Dominic Casey: Motion to Strike Notice of Deposition & Motion for Protective Order#1

Searchfortruth said:

Snipped from Dominic's response to the FAPI's statement.

"For your information, D&A Investigations, Inc. have worked this Case since July 2008 and continue to do so under a Retainer Agreement with the Anthony Family. James Hoover is not affiliated, employed nor subcontracted by D&A nor has ever been. Furthermore, he never performed any investigations in connection with this Case for D&A or the Anthony Family. James Hoover “offered” to help the Family with security then engaged in unforgivable acts such as, secretly videotaping the Family and myself in an attempt make money. For the record, your allegations directed toward me and my Agency are false, baseless and have injected uninformed opinion’s to the public arena."

Kindest regards,
Dominic Casey, Private Investigator
D&A Investigations, Inc."

James H. accompanied Dominic to the woods off of Suburban Dr. and videotaped the search (not a secret videotaping either, IMO). How can Dominic claim that JH was not acting as a PI/Investigator that worked along side him in this case ? Searching those woods together shows a pretty close working relationship, if you ask me.

Dominic knows "he's the smoking gun". I'd be scared too if I were him.

Dear Prudence said:

My understanding is the state can request an investigative interview with anyone and does not have to notify the defense or the court of the interview (and vice versa). It is part of their investigation and may or may not be pertinent to the case. If after the interview the state thinks the testimony will be useful in court, they will add the person to their witness list for the case. Once someone is on a witness list, if either side, prosecution or defense, wants to talk to them it must be done by a deposition, which is filed with the court and the opposing side must be able to attend if they so desire. This is my interpretation of it, so if it is wrong, anyone please correct.

Oh yeah...."hell hath no fury like an Anthony scorned". I think he realizes that if he spills it....not only will he never work in the PI field again....that he will never be free of the curse of this case.

I agree with you, LE surely pointed out this out to Dominick too when they interviewed him that they were very near one another while that filming in the woods was going on. There is no way Dominick didn't know Hoover was there and indeed they were speaking to one another in parts. He was cold busted lying to them. The judge already ruled he has no privilege. Indeed he will be made to answer questions at the civil trial as well, imo. The funny thing is since we have already seen his e mails back and forth to Cindy, the obvious questions that detail how and to what extent he looked for the Zanny the Nanny have already been answered. He did not.The fact that the PI hired by the family claims to have been chasing down locations where Casey partied as a teen rather than looking in to every single Zenaida Gonzalez one could find tells us and the jury all we need to know. The family wasn't investigating any Zanny because they knew one did not exist. Game over.

1. There was no babysitter.
2. Casey is the only one who had the child.
3. She never reported the child missing.
4. Casey admitted to telling lie after lie to police and leading them on a wild goose chase.
5.. The little bones are finally discovered, so we know the child is indeed dead.
6. The private investigator under contract with Casey knew out of all the places on this earth, exactly ( within a few feet) where she put the baby's body.


The rest is icing on the cake for me if I were a juror. There are no coincidence in criminal law.

Rather than help Cindy's daughter, anything and all things Dominick did rather help the state establish fact number one, there was no babysitter. For him to continue to insist he has remained under contract with Casey all along is a nightmare for her defense in my opinion, that is a straight line that says loud and clear Casey knew where the dead body was. Play over. Cut. Scene. Sentencing phase.

There could still be a "daisy chain" if DC got the info directly from KC and started a little rumor grapevine by talking to city employees, specifically the meter reader supervisor in the Anthony neighborhood.

IIRC, there are pics of DC with LA around the end of July, so we know they had opportunity to talk perhaps. It would have had to have been during this time period if the RK set up for August would fly. KC may have been convinced that finding Caylee's body while she was in jail would somehow make her look innocent and her kidnapping story true. Her main goal at that point was getting out of jail and back to her life.

I have been out of the loop for a while, and am trying to read and catch up....lot of the legal jargon I don't understand, however, I think this post is right on.....doesn't it mean that then DC would not necessarily break privileged info???? then RK was set up and tried to deliver but the LE on duty didn't follow up like was planned, so then, another plot was considered and RK set up once again.....I don't think he actually knew what he was getting himself in for, but it allowed DC to give the info, w/out actually giving the info?????

or am I completely misunderstanding the whole gist here????? help me!!!

Thanks for that World - one of the last lines is pretty chilling - Greta says there is nothing in all of these text messages that shows any concern for the child, even after she is reported missing.

In the first information released regarding the 10 days Padilla spent with Anthony, he said her remarks rebutted what was being said on TV. A lead investigator confirms that during one of those trips, Anthony blurted out "They haven't even found the clothes she was wearing" about those searching for Caylee. http://www.wesh.com/news/18009037/detail.html

SAT, November 8, 2008 – TES leads group of volunteers in a search of a 25-acre area around the OIA for Caylee. They found nothing.
P.I. Jim Hoover claims he told Tim Miller to search in the wooded area off of Suburban DR near the Anthony home. He allegedly approached TES Volunteer, Bill Todd about a tip that someone saw Casey’s car parked near a patch of woods on Suburban DR, back in June 2008.
”……. P.I. Hoover on the 8th of November was out at Texas EquuSearch and in front of several people actually filed a search directive, in other words, it’s a form they fill out saying that the body was actually where it was located. I don’t know whatever happened to that. I do know that people in law enforcement are trying to track it down,” says Leonard Padilla.
