P.I. Says He Videotaped Area Where Caylee Was Later Found

[Wudge]

Maybe the PI is psychic!

I highly suspect a privileged work product.

From the initial reports. If LE has confirmed exactly who met the meter man at the scene in August, I do not have their name.

Well I think you should stick LE, detective is a breed above, and that is coming from a daughter of a cop. (LT) not a Detective.

 

[pirate]

The meter man saw the bag in August. He later met a detective at the scene yet the detective found nothing.

Months later, in the same spot, the meter man finds the body in a taped up plastic bag.

Righttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

I'm talking about the bag with Casey's remains.

I believe you're talking about the other bag that Roy K called in about. That was not the same bag.

That doesn't begin to make sense. How do you send someone to film an area where a body is hidden to make sure it can't be seen and not tell them what they're looking for? If the body wasn't well hidden, they'd be sending him right to it. No way on earth will anyone ever convince me that the A's knew the location of Caylee's body.

Maybe my thoughts are as illogical as the A's.:crazy: If KC told them she was there and well hidden they would have to find out one way or the other. They were willing to risk the PI finding the body, they could even help KC if he did find the body by saying the info came from a "tip" from the real killer.

Somethings tells me this is gonna be a long trial :waitasec:.

Wudge, with regard to this being impeachment material......it's going to be interesting to see who, defense or prosecution, broaches this topic first during the trial.

 

[nomoresorrow]

Defense attorney on the panel (name?) stated that the SA/Investigator's in this case don't have the right to question this video produced by the A's PI because it's defense evidence and they have to wait until it comes out in trial, if I understood her correctly. But now that it's public (by the way, does anyone know how news of this video's existance became public?) doesn't LE have the right to look at it and into this claim NOW because of the possibility of someone's involvement or participation in a crime? (stress, possibliity)

 

[donnam]

There is NOTHING anyone can say that will make me believe the A's or anyone in the family knew where Caylees remains were and just left her there to rot. There is no WAY they left this child out there just to save Casey, no way.

Casey Anthony's attorney concerned about police questioning of private investigator

<snipped>
The motion states, "there is a chance that such questioning would delve into privileged information."

Baez stated he hired Casey as an investigator July 28, and the service agreement between the two was terminated Oct. 1.
During that time, Casey "acquired certain privileged information that would be protected under the work-product doctrine and the ethical standards adhered to by licensed private investigators."

Article:

Service argeement terminated as of Oct. 1 means that the video is fair game, alledgedly being shot in November.

I've worked for 10+ years under work-for-hire (i.e. work product) contracts, and anything I do after termination of contract date is mine, and mine alone, including all legal liabilities, insurance requirements, etc. And, while under contract, it is my personal responsibility to ensure that I conform to all local statutes and laws.

This is another weak JB attempt to pander to the media and the general audience, that won't hold up under legal scrutiny. Just like with the remains site.

GAME ON!

I agree, Chilly.
I will have to listen to Kronks calls again and someone correct me if I'm wrong,
but, did he not mention in his August calls he saw something white? I did not hear him say a black garbage bag.
I think he did see something but it wasn't the bag Caylee was found in, I think it was other garbage and stuff thrown into the swampy area.

From Nancy Grace, 12/19:
In the last hours, the utility meter reader finally breaks his silence, confirming it`s the same bag he spotted back in August. Did he actually alert police with this same tip four months ago, calling not once, twice, but three times? Tot mom Casey Anthony learns behind bars the tiny skeleton is confirmed to be little Caylee, and then promptly turns away a visit from the family pastor. Instead, she takes a visit from her own defense team. Tonight, will there ever be justice for Caylee?

 

[Wudge]

Well I think you should stick LE, detective is a breed above, and that is coming from a daughter of a cop. (LT) not a Detective.

Until LE states exactly who it was or states that it was not a detective, I'll stay with the initial reports of the person being a detective.

Now this article I find interesting. Although it doesn't mention the videotape, in reading between the lines it appears that Baez believes PI Casey and, I would assume, his partner Hoover (who did the filming) used privileged information in some way. Did Casey A. tell Baez where she put the body?

That's exactly where my mind went....

Does that include whether or not he was working from knowledge he gained before Oct 1st?

That is what I am wondering too Chilly. Why is he so freaked out about them questioning this PI? Hmmmmm

 

[Intermezzo]

In the incident report dated 8/11 it says "gray bag".

In the 8/11 phone call he says "something that looked white".

In the 8/12 phone call he says: "fallen tree, white board and something round and white underneath it.

Can't wait for the final report.

Thanks for your post, I was just about to go and listen to the August calls.
Caylee's remains were found in a black garbage bag.
Does anyone have any ideas on what this "white" item Kronk spoke of could be?

It should not be defense evidence if the A's hired the PI. A PI is bounded by the same laws you and I are. If we found evidence of a crime, we are obligated to turn it over to LE or face an OJ charge. However, I don't know how the PI works if he's directly working for the defense.

The August meeting is a huge embarassment to LE and prosecutors. Prosecutors are going to have to do their best to defuse the insanity of the circumstances before the defense begins their certain no-holds-barred, howitzer bombardment.

 

[ThoughtElf]

If the video is not legit....why is BAEZ so worried?

"Run around, scream and shout! Cause confusion as to what this case is about!"

Glad most of you sleuthies aren't buying it.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I am not surprised at all. There are going to be some interesting things which will keep coming out about the A fam as time goes on now. Piece by piece, people will eventually put the puzzle together which LE has already done and acted on with the indictment of Casey. I don't doubt there are more to come in the future which will go through another Grand Jury.

Much more will surface which will show that the A fam did know Caylee was dead and denial was only defiance on their part to cover up a murder. This points to the fact they did know where Caylee was in Mid-November (or long before) while their wild goose chases were ongoing and I might add...so were their public begs for donations.

 

[Forensic fan]

He saw A BAG, A Grey Bag, in August, I do not think it was the bag.

Maybe the bag just LOOKED gray with dried mud on it?

 

[nomoresorrow]

The actual date/time stamp on the video wasn't correct from what I understood, that's questionable in itself. I also wonder if the PI has many many more of these wooded swamp area videos for viewing establishing that Caylee's body wasn't in the hundred's of other potential areas where her remains could have been. Otherwise why/how would the PI single out this one area that just happened to be the area where Caylee's remains were located? any thoughts?
