Casey/Caylee Anthony Case: Duct Tape, Father’s Day and Hopkins

NO Detectives, I mean THE OTHER Zach Hopkins

Orlando, FL– Where did we first hear the name Zach Hopkins in the case of missing and eventually found murdered 34 month old Caylee Anthony?

He was the non-existent son of Casey Anthony’s former schoolmate, Jeffrey Hopkins. He was the non-existent grandson of Jeff’s parents who got the phone call from the Anthony home about 5 AM July 16th, and follow up from brother Lee that he did not believe his sister.

Cindy & George Anthony, Lee and Mallory on a Cruise … Caption Contest … Hey Casey, Wish You Were Here

Did Cindy, George, Lee and Mallory send Casey Anthony a post card from their Caribbean vacation … having a great time jail bird, wish you were here.

The Anthony clan takes a cruise ship vacation to the Caribbean while 48 Hours runs a TV special focusing on the case of the murder of Caylee Anthony. According to this report from Eyewitness News, the Anthonys received $20,000 for an interview on that special.

Cindy and George Anthony apparently left their daughter’s murder trial hearing last Friday and headed to Port Canaveral for a 4-day Bahamian cruise on the Monarch of the Seas. That comes after George told prosecutors under oath that no one will hire them and, just to make ends meet, they had to accept a few thousand dollars from the CBS network for an exclusive interview that aired Saturday night. Cindy told prosecutors it was more like $20,000.

They must have been looking for Caylee’s killer on the cruise ship. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Hey, Doc, Gopher, Captain Stubbing … have you seen Caylee’s killer?

CAPTION CONTEST

Ship of Fools

Think it’s a coincidence that no one is sitting around them?

Give us your best caption to the pic above. This should be like shooting fish in a barrel. There are no bigger softballs that this.

Let’s see ‘em.

Okay, I will start the first volley … George says to the clan, wonder what Casey is doing … Cindy replies, I don’t know I am worried about her now put some more sun tan lotion on me and sit down, you’re blocking my sun.

Cindy says, I checked on the Lido decks, no one there killed Caylee either.

Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Will a Conviction in Fraud Case Hemorrage the Defense Fund?

Orlando, FL– Since the State Attorney’s office filed their motion to proceed in the forgery, theft and fraud case against her, I have been positive this legal maneuver was the equivalent of bringing a bazooka to a thumb wrestling match.

Doesn’t it appear that that bell just re-rung when the motion to proceed to trial on the economic crimes was granted?

Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Friction Ridges Duct Tape and Suds

Discovery Review Part II

Orlando, FL– In Part I, we reviewed the Latent Lift Myth.

Adding to the quagmire of why Linda Kenney Baden maintains there are no prints on the duct tape, one reviews Ms. Baden’s amended motion for discovery.

Ms. Baden requests the specific 18 latent lifts and subsequent file information from the FBI reports in “this matter”. However, those tests were performed from items removed from the Anthony home by Orange County Sheriffs Office, not the FBI, thus the “THERE ARE NO LATENT LIFTS IN THIS CASE”.

Casey Anthony Defense Attorneys Want Murder Charges Dropped in Death of Caylee Anthony … Dismiss Case, What is the Defense Afraid Of?

The problem is at the end of the day the Casey Anthony defense team cannot answer the most simple question … why didn’t Casey Anthony report her daughter missing for a month?

File this one under desperate acts from a desperate defense team. The Casey Anthony defense attorneys want murder charges against tot mom Casey Anthony dropped. I am sure that they also want their client let of of jail with no bail and the case to be dropped all together which is also not going to occur.

Of course an attorney is supposed to provide their client with a vigorous defense. However, no where does it state in the legal cannons that it is supposed to be an “Alice in Wonderland” defense.

As Blink on Crime is quoted as saying:

Within the response to Kenney Baden’s discovery request from the FBI, this statement appears:

THE FBI DID NOT RECEIVE LATENT LIFTS IN THIS CASE

It does not say “latent impressions”, which in the forensic “speak” means all friction ridge detail images.

Seriously? With a woman’s very life hanging in the balance we are expected to believe such a panel does not know the difference between a latent lift and a friction ridge image in 2009?

The defense claims that the state cannot prove first degree murder. What is the defense team going to say, that they evidence shows that their client is guilty? With such a high profile murder case that has been in the media of course the defense is going to throw everything up against the wall.

Anthony’s attorneys said prosecutors can’t prove first-degree murder was committed or that Anthony ever abused her daughter, Caylee.

“Specifically, the state cannot establish whether Caylee Anthony’s death was accidental, natural, or the result of an intentional or negligent homicide,” they said.

The Casey Anthony defense team did the typical media blitz on CBS’s The Early Show,  NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” claiming that charges should be dropped and the case dismissed. Dismissed? I thought they said their client was innocent. Isn’t this why we have trials, to get the whether someone was guilty or not guilty by a jury of your peers?
