Texas EquuSearch lawyer says Casey Anthony team acts in bad faith

The Orlando attorney representing Texas EquuSearch says in court documents that the Casey Anthony defense team is acting in "bad faith" by pursuing information about people who took part in searches for Caylee Marie Anthony early on in the case.

"The defense is clearly operating under bad faith and looking to harass the volunteers," attorney Mark NeJame noted in a motion filed today to quash an earlier court order on the issue.

NeJame argues that the defense team has had earlier opportunities to review Texas EquuSearch records, as directed under court orders, but failed to follow through.

Casey Anthony, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in her daughter Caylee's death. Her defense team has sought information about TES volunteers involved in searches that occurred months before Caylee's remains were found in late 2008 in a wooded area near her home.

But NeJame notes in his motion that Anthony lawyer J. Cheney Mason stated publicly last month that the area where the 2-year-old child's remains were found "was impassible at the time."

Because of Mason's statements, NeJame said, "It is patently obvious and apparent that the defense knows the conditions of the area, and that they are no longer in need of the names of any searchers to verify this information."

NeJame further suggests the defense "is filing these motions, requesting irrelevant documents all to create seemingly bogus appellate issues that do not exist." He calls the pursuit of the records "a ploy to harass volunteers of TES who donated their free time to search for the remains of the innocent Caylee Anthony."

Anthony attorney Jose Baez said today his team is preparing its response to NeJame's motion.

NeJame's motion was filed soon after Chief Circuit Judge Belvin Perry spelled out in an order the rules for the review of the TES volunteer records by the defense team. Perry appointed a special magistrate to supervise the document inspection. And he allowed both parties to take notes during the inspection, a change from earlier court rulings.

Anticipating NeJame's bad faith motion, Perry's order says that document will be reviewed and then a hearing will be set on the arguments presented.

Casey Attorneys Back Off Claims Against EquuSearch

Posted: 6:00 pm EDT July 23, 2010
Updated: 6:19 pm EDT July 23, 2010

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- In the case against Casey Friday, Texas EquuSearch attorneys called a claim that someone else put Caylee Anthony's body in the woods a sham.

DOCUMENT: Motion To Quash

A motion filed Friday shows Casey’s attorneys are even backing off claims that EquuSearch volunteers searched the area where Caylee was found months earlier.

The defense demanded to see all EquuSearch’s records, even though the judge already gave Casey’s lawyers permission, they just never did it.

Caylee Marie Anthony case: NeJame says…bad faith, bad bad faith! And smacks defense’s nose with a newspaper.

Posted on July 26th, 2010 by Valhall

As we all know in rock-paper-scissors, paper defeats rock. For those of us following the circus previously known as the murder trial of Casey Anthony for the cause of seeking justice in Caylee Marie Anthony’s murder, we also know that Bobble-headed Baez and Myelin-deficient Mason have thus far used the rock as their primary weapon of choice. In fact, recently, in a post-hearing impromptu interview Mason gave outside the Orange County courthouse, we see how this battle strategy plays out. He states:

Uh yeah, it’s been, the public has been made to believe that these people searched the exact area, um, where the body was, or tried to and couldn’t. The fact is the didn’t try to, and they didn’t, they weren’t there, and it was impassable at the time. So there’s a lot of people who are mistaking things of what happened back in the summer of 2008 and what happened in the winter of 2008.

*blink blink*

Translation:

Me take rock…break coconut.

New defense filing blasts Mark NeJame

By Anthony Colarossi, Orlando Sentinel
6:14 p.m. EDT, August 9, 2010

Casey Anthony's defense team blasts prominent Orlando attorney Mark NeJame in a court filing submitted late Monday, alleging the Texas EquuSearch lawyer solicited the Anthony family, thwarted defense efforts and approached a "ghost writer" to collaborate on a book about the case.

NeJame and the Anthony defense team have fought over the release of records of Texas EquuSearch volunteers who took part in the search for 2-year-old Caylee Anthony early on in the case.

NeJame has accused the defense team of acting in "bad faith" in pursuing the records. Now, Anthony attorneys Jose Baez and J. Cheney Mason are fighting back with their own attacks.

Is it against the law for NeJame to write a book? I don't understand Bozo's court filing against him? Please splain, for this old dummy!!!

Just sumthin to keep the media a buzz and try to taint the jury pool...Naturally...he's just got to keep his name out there for all to see what a complete boob he is...I don't think he's ever gonna live down his reputation after this case is finalized...

"We were accused of seeking the death penalty because the defendant wouldn't accept some phantom plea," Ashton said.

For the first time, with the words "phantom plea," prosecutors denied they had offered Casey Anthony a deal if she would plead guilty to the death of her daughter.

ORLANDO -- Mark NeJame is firing back at Casey Anthony's defense after her attorneys filed a motion accusing NeJame of being involved for self promotional purposes only.

"Either they're not being truthful or they don't know their case," NeJame said.

They also accuse him of stalling the defense's efforts by keeping them from reviewing documents belonging to Texas EquuSearch.

Do any of you actually believe LE offered her a deal of only 10 years if she would tell them where Caylee's body was?????

There is no way I believe that. I don't think they offered her any kind of plea deal.

If they did offer it to her and she didn't accept then she really is as stupid as A) Cindy B) a box of rocks C) the rest of the family D) All of the above.

Are you kidding...No way, Jose...No deal...Only in your dreams...If they were to offer her a deal she wouldn't take it cause then she'd have to "admit to a crime I didn't commit"...I believe Mr. Nejame...

In all seriousness, I don't believe for a second that the State offered her a plea..... they offered her limited immunity way back in August, 2008 to tell where Caylee's remains were.... She declined to accept and the offer expired on September 2.

I agree, Estee, I would believe Mark Nejame over ANY of the defense/A's any day of the week.

I vote D!!!!!

Ding ding ding ding ding.....that is the correct answer! You win a beef stick and a cup of cocoa.

So there...Put that in your pipe and smoke it...Won't Judge Perry enjoy reading that ??? I hope his reply will stop the defense from further unnecessary demands, motions and delays...

EquuSearch Director: Group was Abused by Anthony Family
Lawyers for Casey Anthony are focusing on a Houston area man in their efforts defend the only person arrested in Caylee's death. They say Texas EquuSearch's Tim Miller may be able to prove their client isn't a murderer.

Lawyers for Casey Anthony are focusing on a Houston area man in their efforts defend the only person arrested in Caylee's death. They say Texas EquuSearch's Tim Miller may be able to prove their client isn't a murderer.

The defense wants the names and phone numbers of the thousands of volunteers that helped with the search. Miller has consistently said no because releasing that information will make it nearly impossible to find future volunteers in high-profile cases like this.

Monday, a lawyer for Anthony's parents stepped down after seeing some of the search documents, claiming they invalidated part of the defense's case.

"It's a circus. It's a show. It's to distract everybody from what it's really about," said Miller.

Tim Miller. I'm glad he finally said in public what lots of others have wanted to say about this entire family.

"The Anthony's are the most cold hearted people in the United States of America"

And he also feels Conway wanted to just wash his hands of all of them........ And I agree.....

And I agree too, Piper. Everyone seems to step easy around this family, but I guess Tim Miller has been stomped on and lied about all he is going to take, and finally he is speaking out. And I'm glad he spoke out for Conway, as he is not going to say anything about the Ants. I bet there will come a time, when he can't appear in court with them, due to other commitments. But he may appear during the trial, as he wants to see KC get what she deserves.

This is Tim Miller's full interview 8/16/10:

Snaz, you rock lady. This is the absolute best video I have seen since this case started. Is channel 39 a NBC network? I wish The Today Show would have Tim on, and give him free reign to say what he wants to say.

He is not afraid of being sued by the Ant's or Bozo.

KIAH-TV is a Houston, Texas station... I have no idea if they are an NBC affiliate. It doesn't say they are, that I could find, on their website, so I kinda doubt they are.

I checked their TV schedule. They are a CW affiliate.

AJ, I don't believe for a second the State offered KC any deal other than the limited immunity offer, which she let expire. Remember at one of the hearings when Jeff Ashton mentioned the 'phantom plea deal'? I don't think he would have said that if they had actually offered KC a deal.

However, that is strictly my own opinion.....
