Defense Files New Motion to Seal Jail Records

The next to the last paragraph explains it to me...Casey is not a child!!! Therefore IMO she doesn't qualify for the sealing...The only sealing she qualifies for is plastic wrap...need I explain???

Does no one on the defense team have a brain? Can they not look at that fat bitch and tell she is not a child, and hasn't been a child for almost 10 years.

Defense Wants Casey Jail Records Sealed; Spending Questioned

Posted: 3:34 pm EDT October 18, 2010

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The defense is trying a third time to seal Casey Anthony's visitation, phone and commissary records at the Orange County jail.

The records are public for all inmates, but Casey's defense team says releasing her records serves only to embarrass her and invade her privacy. The argument has already been rejected twice.

The state agency funding Anthony's defense is now challenging some of the recent requests her attorneys have made for costs in the case.

The requests include thousands to cover lodging and travel expenses for lawyers and investigators. The Justice Administrative Commission says the defense needs to prove the money is really needed for the case.

Also, the defense plans to depose key Orange County investigator Eric Edwards on October 22.

Casey Anthony Battle Brews Over What's Public Info
Anthony Lawyers Point To New Ruling In South Florida

UPDATED: 4:23 pm EDT October 18, 2010

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony’s defense team may have new ammunition in its quest to keep her jail records private.

In new court filings, lawyers point to a recent ruling in south Florida that they claim sets a precedent to seal inmate records.

Defense attorneys argue that public access to Anthony’s jail commissary accounts and visitor logs only serves to embarrass Anthony and invade her privacy.

In the more than two years that Anthony has remained incarcerated, Florida public records laws have meant open access to information such as her jail account balance, what she orders from the Orange County Jail commissary and who has visited her. Recordings of phone calls and video of visits have also been available.

Anthony’s defense has filed a motion asking for Judge Belvin Perry to reconsider its defense to seal that information because of a new ruling.

It found that "an accused child should be able to consult with a parent without the communication becoming a public record."

I hope Judge Perry rips him a new one while explaining to him that "child" here sounds as if it is being defined as "an underaged juvenile" not simply "biological offspring", aka "spawn".

Is Jose Baez Frightened of Spicy Peanuts?

October 23, 2010

On October 15, 2010, criminal defense attorney Jose Baez filed a Motion For Reconsideration of his previously rejected request to seal from the public jail records of his client, convicted felon Casey Anthony.

The motion can be found at the following link:

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/58052840/Casey-Anthony-motion-to-reconsider-jail-house-visitors-privacy

“Additionally the Defendant requests that the jail commissary records, telephone and visitation logs are also not subject to public record disclosure under Chapter 119, such disclosure was never contemplated by the legislature and serves only to embarrass and invade the privacy of the Defendant. Miss Anthony has not been convicted of any of the charges for which she is being held by the Orange County Jail.”

The grammar employed by Mr. Baez is atrocious. Please do not use his writing as a model for your own.

“Additionally the Defendant requests that the jail commissary records, telephone and visitation logs” – The “jail commissary records, telephone and visitation logs” are sensitive to Mr. Baez and he wishes to distance himself from them.

Never fear AJ...The grammar police don't exist on this site (as you know)...I'd NEVER post here if they did...and if they DO show up, I'm outta here....

Orlando Sentinel moves to keep Casey Anthony jail records open

By Anthony Colarossi, Orlando Sentinel
6:14 p.m. EDT, October 27, 2010

The Orlando Sentinel has filed a motion in court arguing against the Casey Anthony defense team's efforts to have Orange County Jail records sealed in the high-profile case.

Citing a new appellate court decision in South Florida, the Casey Anthony defense team recently filed a motion to seal the woman's jail commissary records and telephone and visitation logs.

But today the Sentinel responded with its own motion, saying the Casey Anthony team's "argument is misplaced."

" Florida's Constitution and Public Records Act contemplates the disclosure of all records made or received by an agency in connection with the transaction of official business," states the Sentinel's motion to intervene. "The fact that there is no exemption for the public records at issue means that the legislature never contemplated that the documents would remain secret."
