Casey Anthony Served with Subpoena in Zanny the Nanny (Zenaida Gonzalez) Defamation Case … Found Hiding in Florida

You can run, but you cannot hide …

Casey Anthony has been found and served with a subpoena  in Zanny the Nanny (Zenaida Gonzalez) defamation case. Gonzalez’s attorney, Matt Morgan, successfully tracked down the elusive Casey Anthony, who has been in hiding since her ridiculous acquittal in the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Having been outed, Cheney Mason, one of Casey’s lawyers, said she would accept the subpoena and show up to trial. Mason accepted the subpoena to prevent Anthony’s address from being released.

The 26-year-old mom acquitted of murder in the death of her child was flushed from her hideaway in Florida by investigators who served her with a subpoena stemming from a defamation suit, according to reports.

During the police’s investigation surrounding the death of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, Casey Anthony told authorities the girl was kidnapped by a nanny named “Zenaida Gonzalez,” or Zanny.

This wasn’t true and the nanny didn’t exist, her lawyers eventually admitted.

However, a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez does exist, and claims in a lawsuit her life was turned upside down by Anthony’s statements.

Zenaida Gonzalez is suing Casey Anthony, claiming Anthony ruined her life when she said a babysitter by the same name kidnapped Anthony’s daughter, Caylee. Coming soon to a court room to face defamation charges … Casey Anthony, part II.

Check Book Journalism: Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s Lawyer, Publicly Acknowledged that the Money He Received from ABC News Made it able to Mount a Successful Defense

Thanks to Disney owned ABC News and check book journalism … Jose Baez says he was able to mount a successful defense.

Joe Baez, the defense attorney for Casey Anthony, finally has stated publicly what we and Blink on Crime knew all along. Jose Baez appeared on PBS’s “Frontline,” and stated how they got $200,000 from ABC for photos of Casey and Caylee, and that money was used “so we could mount a proper defense.” How special that a Disney owned company helped through “checkbook journalism” to deny justice to two year old Caylee Anthony. As reported at the Orlando Sentinel, “ABC News changed its policy, saying it would no longer license pictures or video tied to a booking.” Sorry, a little late now. Maybe you would like to apologize to Caylee Anthony?

Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s lawyer, has for the first time publicly acknowledged he was able to mount a successful defense thanks to the money he got from ABC news.

Baez, who appeared on PBS’s “Frontline,” explained how they got $200,000 from ABC for photos of Casey and Caylee, and that money was used “so we could mount a proper defense.”

ABC News & Disney put check book journalism above Justice for Caylee

Sick, I hope those at ABC News can live with themselves. Even Baez stated in the interview that the Casey Anthony case was an anomaly because the network paid $200K for licensing fees for the Anthony defense. So before anyone wants to use this case and the verdict as case law, it can obviously be stated if it were not for ABC News and their hideous checkbook journalism, the out come of the case might have been much, much different than a “not guilty as sin” verdict.

Florida Governor Rick Scott Signs “Caylee’s Law” … Missing Children Legislation Inspired by the Death of Caylee Anthony & Casey Anthony’s Lying to Police Makes It a Third Degree Felony

Florida Governor Rick Scott signs Caylee’s Law. The legislation was inspired by the death of two year old Caylee Anthony and the outrage following the acquittal of Casey Anthony.  The newly signed missing children’s legislation will increases the maximum penalty. Caylee’s Law makes it a third-degree felony and increase the penalty from a year to five years in prison to give false information to a law enforcement officer in the event of missing child.

The law increases the maximum penalty from a year in jail to five years in prison for knowingly making a false statement to police about a missing child.

Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, was acquitted last year of murdering her daughter but convicted on four counts of lying to investigators.

Caylee wasn’t reported missing until 31 days after she vanished in 2008 in Orlando.

Following the absurd decision by the jury in the death of Caylee Anthony, Florida looked to make it a felony offense for an individual not to report a child missing. Sadly, it is too bad this law was not made retroactive for Casey Anthony.  Had this law been effective when Casey Anthony did what she claims to have done during her murder trial, Casey could have gotten up to 20 years in prison rather than the slap on the hand.

Casey Anthony Wants New Beginning … Wants to Be Baptized, Cleans Her Sins and One Day See Her Daughter

Ok, every one deserves a second chance, but who does not find the following request just a tab bit creepy?

Casey Anthony, yes the same Casey Anthony who was found “not guilty as sin” by a clueless jury in the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony, wants a new beginning. According to the below VIDEO, Casey Anthony wants to be baptized, cleans her sins and one day see her daughter. Um, who does not find this just a wee bit too creepy that Casey Anthony wants to drown her sins in the Baptismal water after she got off on a murder rap in the death of her daughter Caylee Anthony claiming the two year old drown in a pool.

“How in the world can a mother wait 30 days before ever reporting her child missing? That’s insane, that’s bizarre… The answer is actually relatively simple. She never was missing,” Baez said. “Caylee Anthony died on June 16, 2008 when she drowned in her family’s swimming pool.”

CNN Confirms that Casey Anthony will Receive $1 Million in Blood Money for her First Interview

We all knew it was going to happen; however, that does not lessen the sickness we feel in the pit of our stomach …

CNN is confirming that Casey Anthony, the mother who was acquitted in the nuder of her daughter Caylee, will receive a $1 million blood money payoff for her exclusive first interview. As reported at Mediaite:

 … would be receiving $1 million for her first interview since being acquitted of murdering her young daughter, promising updates on where and with whom as soon as that information comes in. ABC affiliate WPBF, meanwhile, is reporting that, according to local Florida attorney Spencer Kuvin, his client “Private Elevator Productions” (a group, he says, of “Hollywood producers who wants to remain anonymous”) has offered Anthony $1 million for an exclusive interview.

Say it isn’t so; however, if it is we once again have the clueless Casey Anthony jury to blame for not doing there job and not comprehending the enormity of their actions. It would seem odd that such a deal would go through at this time. America does not seem over the henious acts of Casey Anthony and hardly willing to forgive. As reported at the Orlando Sentinel,  Jean Casarez of “In Session” reported today that Kuvin had not heard back from attorney Cheney Mason about a $1 million offer to Anthony.

Mason, who will field offers for Anthony, also told “In Session” that Jose Baez no longer reperesents Anthony.

Mason told Casarez: “No one with any authority is attempting to promote Casey Anthony … They are unsolicited and doing it on their own.”

Mason added that any Anthony negotiations will start after her appeal has ended and her probation has concluded.

Seriously, you mean to say that former lead attorney Jose Baez was not shopping a deal to the networks? Really? Really! It would seem quite the hypocrisy for Casey Anthony to duck civil suits and depositions to answer questions and in return shop her interview for dollars. No matter how one looks at this, eventually Casey Anthony will get a payoff and yes, it will be blood money.

Casey Anthony to Fire Atty Jose Baez … “Angry over how he is handling the media circus around her first sit down interview” … Cheney Mason Back In???

Trouble in paradise … This relationship had as much a chance of lasting as did the Kim Kardashian – Kris Humphries’ 7 second marriage.

What’s that sound, violins … It is being reported that Casey Anthony is furious with her Jose Baez, the attorney who got her off of murder charges of her daughter Caylee Anthony. As per the New York Post, Casey Anthony is angry over how he is handling the media circus around her first sit-down interview. It appears that Casey Anthony is jealous and envious that Jose is getting the attention and not her. Hmm … sound familiar?

Trouble in paradise

Casey Anthony is planning to fire her lawyer Jose Baez, who defended her in the 2011 murder trial involving her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. She’s angry over how he’s handling the media circus around her first sit-down interview.

Sources tell us Anthony is furious that Baez has been basking in the limelight and rubbing shoulders with top TV talent, but hasn’t nailed down a big interview deal for her.

Anthony’s original attorney, Cheney Mason, will take over as her representative to the media, and sources say an announcement is imminent.

Casey Anthony and Jose Baez perfect together, peas in a pod, and the perfect example of water seeking its own level. Baez has been shopping a $750K fee for the first exclusive interview with Casey. Baez is out and about talking to producers, jet-setting and living the life after having defended and got his client off of murder. What a shock that Casey Anthony is upset that Baez is getting all of the attention. Gee, who couldn’t see this break up coming? Casey Anthony says she does not trust Baez anymore. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. That’s okay Casey … No one trusts you either, especially Caylee Anthony.

While Anthony finishes her probation, Baez has been making television appearances on her behalf and enjoying the perks of being schmoozed by network bigwigs.

“He’s going around taking meetings with TV producers and networks,” a source told us. “She doesn’t trust him anymore.”

After the video diary of Casey leaked on the Internet last week, sources tell us her inner circle grew angrier with Baez.

“They haven’t been talking for weeks,” our source said. “The video was the last straw.”

Casey Anthony Video … She’s Back … Video Diary of Casey Anthony Has Leaked onto the Internet … Not One Reference of Caylee

LOOK WHO IS BACK … Casey Anthony.

Casey Anthony goes public for the first time since she was acquitted in the murder of her daughter, Caylee Anthony.   It is reported that the Video took place last October, 2011. Casey Anthony says that things are starting to look up in a good way and things were surreal. Actually what was surreal was the fact that a jury actually found you “not guilty” as sin.

Imagine this, at no point in the entire VIDEO did she mention Caylee Anthony’s name. She just talked about herself. What a shock.

Mediaite has the full transcript of the Video Diary.

Who I’ve adopted and I love and he’s as much my dog as any of the other pets I’ve ever had (inaudible) families I’ve ever had if not moreso… so… I don’t know… I don’t know whether to look directly at myself, or look up, or… oh man… just a little surreal how much things have changed since July and how many things haven’t changed… but the good thing is that things are starting to look up and things are starting to change. In a good way.

Does Casey Anthony actually think that everyone will forgive her and that people will forget what she did? Hardly, 2012 will be no different for Casey. Although, we can see that giving up narcissism and the world is not all about me, was not two of Casey Anthony’s New year’s resolutions.

Jeff Ashton, Former Assistant State Attorney & Lead Prosecutor in Casey Anthony Murder Trial of Caylee Anthony has Announcement Set for Tuesday … Will Run for the 9th Circuit State Attorney Post in 2012 Against Former Boss, Lawson Lamar

According to reports Jeff Ashton has an “important announcement” set for Tuesday, January 5, 2012 at 11 AM on the steps of the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando, Florida. Looks like there is a run for the States Attorney position in Ashton’s future.

Jeff Ashton, the former assistant state attorney who was the lead prosecutor in the Casey Anthony murder trial is speculated to be throwing his hat into the political ring and running for the 9th Circuit State Attorney position. The 9th circuit consisted of Orange and Osceola counties.  Ashton will be running against his former boss, Lawson Lamar.  Ashton retired from his post following the implausible “not guilty” jury verdict in the Casey Anthony case.

A source told WESH 2 News on Friday that former assistant state attorney Jeff Ashton will announce that he is running for the 9th circuit state attorney post in 2012 against his former boss, Lawson Lamar.

A press release sent out Friday said Ashton would make what’s being dubbed an “important announcement” on the steps of the Orange County Courthouse on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The event is also open to the public.

Jeff Ashton recently made the media tour following the completion of his book, “Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony”.  Listen to Jeff Ashton’s interview on Scared Monkeys radio with Dana Pretzer.

In Imperfect Justice, prosecutor Jeff Ashton, one of the principal players in the case’s drama, sheds light on those questions and much more, telling the behind-the-scenes story of the investigation, the trial, and the now-infamous verdict. Providing an inside account of the case, Ashton, a career prosecutor for the state of Florida, goes where the press and pundits have only speculated, detailing what really happened during the investigation, showing how the prosecution built their case, and explaining how a woman so shrouded in suspicion was proclaimed innocent.

If the rumors are correct, Ashton will be running against his former boss, Lawson Lamar. Lamar was first elected as the state attorney for the 9th Judicial Circuit of Florida in 1988. Following the Casey Anthony case, Lamar made a statement  that he was ‘disappointed with verdict but never criticize a jury’. That’s ok Mr. Lamar, we will and so did most of the Orange and Osceola county Florida voters.

Jeff Ashton developed a rock star status during the Casey Anthony murder trial and in many ways the trial can be looked upon like the movie Rocky I. Against all odds, lies, perjury, and bizzaro behavior by the Anthony family, defense attorneys and the defendant Casey Anthony, Ashton put on the good fight only to lose and be undermined by the “ship of fool” jurors with their “not guilty as sin” verdict. Sadly, they did not provide “justice for Caylee”. However, we all know how Rocky II turned out. Maybe this is one of the legacies of Caylee Anthony, an inspired, passionate advocate for  children like Jeff Ashton gets elected to make a difference.

Medical Examiner Dr. G Speaks Out Regarding the Casey Anthony Murder Trial and the Death (Homicide) of Caylee Anthony

 ”We’ll never know what happened until the perpetrator states what happened.”

This morning on NBC’s Today Show medical examiner Dr. G.,  Dr. Jan Garavaglia, discussed the trial of Casey Anthony and the issues that hampered the case against Casey Anthony and the lack of justice in the  “homicide” of little Caylee Anthony. Six months after Casey Anthony was found, “not guilty”, Dr. G explains what happened.

Dr. G. defended her position that the death of Caylee Anthony was a homicide of undetermined means. Dr G. stated that, “My job is not to determine who did it. My job is to determine what happened.”

Six months after the disappearance of Caylee, with only skeletonized remains, hair, duct tape and a few weathered objects to work with, Garavaglia concluded that “the cause of death will be listed as homicide by undetermined means.”

It was Garavaglia’s determination that allowed prosecutors to move forward and charge Anthony with murder, but many believe the “undetermined means” part of that also allowed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty.

Dr. G will be having a TV special, ”Dr G: Inside the Caylee Anthony Case,” on Sunday on TLC  that will go into the forensic evidence and review aspects of the case that they jury obviously missed. Granted she admits that the delay in finding Caylee’s body and the willful and purposeful hiding of the body caused issues in not being able to get for evidence from the recovered remains. Dr. G. stated that she is not making any money from this, “First of all, I’m not making a penny off of it.  I never wanted to. Anything I make from that show, because it’s part of my regular series, will go to children’s charities.”

“Well, obviously we always have to look at the last person who was seen with the child — the person who is legally, morally, ethically responsible for the child,” she said, alluding to Caylee’s mother. “What stories do they give? What happened? We never did get anything from (Casey) on what happened. Yet we found (Caylee) with duct tape, discarded in the woods. That tells a lot.”
