BTW, in case some of you aren't aware.....

AL has a book signing scheduled in Chicago the night before the pre-trial hearing was scheduled in Orlando....

Jan 20 - 6:00 p.m.

Chicago, IL

I think she knew the pre-trial hearing was NOT going to happen. She would have had a pretty difficult time with a book signing in Chicago starting at 6:00 p.m. on January 20, and still try to be in Orlando for a 10:00 a.m. hearing the next morning, January 21. Not impossible, of course, but why would she do that to herself unless she KNEW the hearing would not happen?

The whole defense... they are scumbags. JMO

Blah! That's all I have to say! Blah! Oh and

I'll put this here too:

No news conferences from the defense side/Casey's family of an "innocent" person rotting away in jail, huh?


Didn't think so.


Silence is golden & speaks volumes!

btw....I agree with Dis,

Apparently, there is no official word on whether or not the pre-trial hearing has been postponed along with the fraud trial:

Casey Anthony fraud case: Trial next week likely will be delayed

By Bianca Prieto, Orlando Sentinel
3:25 p.m. EST, January 18, 2010

Casey Anthony's fraud case set for trial next week will likely be delayed. There's a slew of motions that haven't been addressed by the court.

Casey Anthony's fraud case set for trial next week will likely be delayed.

There's a slew of motions that haven't been addressed by the court, such as whether the defense can get a change of venue due to the media coverage. And, the defense has not interviewed the victim, Amy Huizenga, under oath yet.

Prosecutors and Anthony's defense team will appear at a pre-trial hearing Thursday to address some of these issues.

The court and the State Attorney's Office are closed today due to the holiday.

Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland has not officially delayed the trial, which is scheduled to begin on Monday.

Anthony, 23, faces more than a dozen counts of check fraud charges. She's accused of taking and writing $682 in checks that belong to her friend, Huizenga.

Anthony is also indicted on first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie, whose remains were found in December 2008 in woods near the family's home. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in that case.

She remains in the Orange County Jail without bond.

Of course, Snaz can tell you better but it appears that it's going to be some of the Motions gone over.

Because the court is closed today, Thursday's hearing is still on the court calendar. I will check it again tomorrow to see if the hearing is still on for Thursday.

Nope, I'd be clinging my metal cup on the cell bars.

OH BROTHER! kh

Well, I hope that the Judge KNOWS about the book signing. If it is the defense's delay, Strickland should nail their asses and NOT delay it.

No fault to Judge S. He has been extremely careful... he will allow the (millions of) motions without predjucice. I am glad I don't have his job. kh

Casey Anthony's Status Hearing Delayed

Posted: 4:51 pm EST January 18, 2010
Updated: 5:03 pm EST January 18, 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. -- This week's status hearing for Casey Anthony’s murder trial has been delayed until Monday January 25, the day her check fraud trial is scheduled to start.

The defense had asked for a change of venue for that trial and there are reports that, since no hearings have been held on that issue, the defense also wants the check fraud trial to be put off.

In many cases, judges will try to find a local jury first before discussing a change of venue.

In this case, the judge has already ruled that alleged victim Amy Huizenga has a right to get justice before Casey's murder case goes to trial.

I will confirm this on the court calendar tomorrow.....

Gee AJ, I hope I live long enough to see the outcome of the murder case...

You can do it Estee, you can do it!

I hope Judge Strickland strikes the motion and proceeds as scheduled. This is getting ridiculous.

I'm with you there, Piper...

Hearing is still on the court docket as this moment........ I'll keep checking back to see if it changes.

honestly, i think this is a case of "the dog ate my homework"..

it doesnt work for me, and it certainly shouldnt work for them... THEY are responsible for getting their depos done in preparation for trial.... the date was NOT a secret, they knew it was coming..

i say preceed as scheduled, they need to learn a lesson on time management... and intitlement issues..

I hate to quote myself, but..........

(Snipped from an article posted on the fraud trial thread:)

Also, a hearing to determine the status of her murder trial will not be held this week, as previously planned.

Both cases will be the subject of a hearing (scheduled for Monday at 1:30 p.m. EST) before Judge Stan Strickland. There are still several motions to be discussed, including change of venue for both trials.

I posted upthread that AL had a book signing scheduled for the 20th at 6:00 p.m. in CHICAGO..... I'm wondering if the court schedule is being altered to fit HER schedule. After all, the Judge did so for something at a previous hearing (I can't remember what specifically).

Also, does anyone think it could be possible that KC is pleading guilty to the charges against her in the fraud case since they have SO much evidence on video??? Maybe the defense has come to their senses and feel it would look better to plead guilty than to be FOUND guilty. Because she WILL be found guilty... and that WILL come into the murder trial.

Just some thoughts, and all JMO.

I don't think the crazy woman will plead guilty to anything. I just can't see her "admitting" to absolutely anything whatsoever, but, JMO, LOL.

ya see....I knew AL had her hands in there somewhere...

if she pleads guilty, it must be to all charges against her... there is no, um... i'll take that one, not that one, well.... that one is okay... it is all or none.

if she pleads not guilty, there CAN be a trial by judge.. the defense can waive her right to a jury trial and take their chances with a judge. ..

the only way she can plead to lesser charges is if the prosecution initiates a plea deal... offering her reduced charges for a guilty plea... and i DONT see that happening..

the ONLY way i can see her pleading guilty is if there is a guarantee of a witholding adjudication of guilt ... almost like a probation thing... they will hold a defendants adjudication in leau of them staying out of trouble for a certain amount of time... that will be easy for her, since she is in jail... i have seen this done numerous times on non violent 1st time offenders..

i sure hope this is not the case, because if so, there will be no mention of her prior crimes and character flaws in the murder trial..
