<quoted text>I don't know Florida law, but on Nancy Grace she said that grand juries in Florida hear ONLY capital cases; capital - in criminal terms - means death penalty; of course, we don't know in advance how the grand jury is going to rule; but it will either be a death penalty case, according to Nancy, or no case just yet

A capital crime is any crime for which the maximum punishment could be death. The grand jury will simply listen to the evidence thus far and determine if it is worthy of being tried as capital. It doesn't automatically mean if found guilty she will get the death sentence. That is for her trial jury to decide during the sentencing phase after she is found guilty.

The following is some information that is very insightful about the grand jury process; highly recommend anyone read them so they have a better grasp/understanding Tuesday's GJ.

These were all trivial rulings yesterday. The prosecution has 10 days to submit to the defense the evidence collected. Also the Judged tabled the ruling on Casey's confinemnet until next week
Guess what? It doesn't matter as the evidence will have to be given to Baez anyway once the murder charge is filed as part of the defenses right to discovery.

This hearing was a total waste of taxpayers time
Why?
Because,Tuesday is the Grand Jury hearing and they will charge Casey with FIRST DEGREE MURDER leading to her arrest on Tuesday by 6 PM EST.

Stay Tuned!

Are you FKM???? I can't believe he would actually say that!
Mr. Baez, ITS ABOUT TIME TO GET DOWN TO THE TRUTH AND FIND OUT WHIICH ONE OF THE ANTHONYS is credible and WHICH ONE IS NOT!
P.S. Heres a little hint, you can rule your client OUT as CREDIBLE. You are a complete moron.

Our reaction too. The truth would be good and we can go back to the last time George Anthony REALLY saw Caylee alive and start from there. Perhaps then LE can stop swarming homes and upsetting the lives of other innocent children at the expense of Cindy Anthony's "Leads".

Mr. Baez, we think getting to the Truth is something we all want, but it has to start with your client and her family.

They both make me want to puke.
I would like to smack that smug look off of his face and spit in hers.

This entire case is a huge waste of vital tax payers dollars, which is why so many people are outraged. Baez is a fool for not counseling his client to take a plea deal for a manslaughter charge in exchange for her confession and where the body is.

The jury is going to throw the book at Casey for not only the senselessness of her cold/callous act, but for her and Baez squandering the courts time, money, and vital resources on this unwinnable case.

I was watching the video this am on the case and I think that the judge must have been laughing to himsoef when Baez stated that he wanted his client casey to go out to travel....what a JOKE...what do you ALL think??

Baez is definitely a joke. But the judge has to be professional no matter how he personally feels about the incredulous requests made by Baez. I think the judge did well by not ruling on that particular motion right away. He can't be accused of ruling over the case with prejudice against Casey. Baez seems to be focusing more on how the public has perceived Casey in court. He made sure to mention how the public feels to the judge. That could be his offhanded way of working towards getting her an acquittal.

Island Girl - no worries the one thing the bumbling idiot did accomplish yesterday was to establish that Casey was solely responsible for the car even though her parent's owned it. That will not bode well with the GJ, especially if he tries to pin it on someone else at trial.

If it is so funny, why didn't the judge rule on that right away? I can't even imagine that would require any thought, anyone know why?

I truly believe that Judge Strickland was doing everything in his power to remain professional and unbiased yesterday.

Many who did not watch the trial didn't see:

Baez reprimanded on several occaisions about the court's time.

Baez reprimaned for not doing legwork.

Baez reminded several times that the evidence he was requesting was NOT going to be used in the neglect case.

Baez reminded that the documents he requested from LE were ready at the LE agency, that all he need do is PAY for them the same way anyone else would and he could have them.

Baez stating that although the defendant's parents own the car, it is for all intents and purposes the defendant's car.

Ummmm and Uhhhhhhh were interjected in several sentences and Mr. Baez found it necessary more than once to let someone else clarify his thoughts. He was reminded at least 3 of the motions he filed, were already granted to him by the prosecution before the motions were filed.

He is a bumbling idiot.

I'm so sick of these games..Casey where is that baby ....where did you leave her and with who.. if anyone...it sure wasn't with your nanny that lived in 210 sawgrass apartments..

[Reality_check]

WHOA!!! Wait just a minute.

If the home confinement officer testified yesterday that KC's schedule is set so that she knows the whereabouts at all times?

Did KC request permission to attend the hearing and then NOT show up?

WHERE WAS SHE during the hours she was supposed to be at the courthouse?

I agree with your assessment.
He's not ready for prime time, which is fine with me since his client is guilty as sin.

Did you also notice that the other atty. with Baez spoke when the state atty was addressing the judge? He just blurted out some kind of snide remark and the prosecutor turned towards him and muttered something. The judge had to tell the defense atty to pipe down. That's how unprofessional the Baez team is.

I agree. Baez didn't win anything he wasn't already going to get by law. The judge didn't rule on Casey's confinement because he knows it probably won't come to that. There are high hopes of the body being found and of course the Grand Jury is surley to rule against Casey.
I'm one of those people who watch Nancy Grace and last night Leonard Padilla was asked about a possible secret life. His response was that everyone will be shocked when the truth comes out about where Casey went everyday when it was thought she was going to work at Universal Studios. Then he got cut off in mid sentence as usual. I hate when that happens.
Sorry for any typos. It's hard to type with a Pomeranian curled up in your lap.

Well I am patiently wating for Tuesday and hope that the grand jury rules that this circus needs to stop! I for one am somewhat thankful for Ike, its keeping me from in front of this computer so that I can clean up and pack up whats left.(well at least during daylight hours, 30 days and counting no electricity hell I might as well convert to being Amish now, lol). Just kidding those long dresses would give me a heatstroke here in Texas.

I thought that was why the Attention W H ore was spending SO many hours at B l OW Job Baez's office...
I find it interesting that B l o W Job Baez still allows her to wear the SAME big white sunglasses she pretty much stole...Again, it is all about character, and the level of class one has. Actions speak louder than words.

I know this is a forum to discuss Caylee specifically, and I hope nobody minds, but I have to wonder about the effect cases like this have on those out there who are like Casey? The above are 2 other very similar cases involving small children missing, since Caylee's disappearance. I'm sure there are many more that aren't widely publicized as well. These are similar in the fact that circumstances are very suspect, strange stories, uncooperative parties involved, and at least in one, the parent is the only known suspect. I wonder if seeing Casey prance around like she's God almighty, commanding the whole show, and seeming as though she will get away with it, gives these others the gumption to act on their evil thoughts and desires as well?

If she is allowed to search, blame the judge, it is his ruling. We will see what happens, but I can't even FATHOM the judge letting her out to 'search'. The fact she is out now galls me, but the law is the law. What the judge decides on her searching...I can't see it.

[Darbi]

Tim Miller mentioned that unfortunately he brought the rain with him so no search starting today. What's the local forcast, anyone know?

I don't understand why the Judge would grant her to go out on private searches after waiting all of this time. Caylee came up missing (According to Casey) back in June. This is now Oct. Didn't Casey say she searched for those first 31 days by herself? Will she be asked to turn over what she found out while out doing her search then (As she called it) or will she have to admit she lied again? & Tell what she was really doing? Yes, I know the truth, Casey is a cold-blooded, cold-hearted walking POS, That has done something horrible to Caylee. I just think Casey should be held accountable for each & every lie she told along with what she done to & with Caylee. With Her Family right along beside her.

At the hearing Baez said it's not to search for Caylee, it's to have Casey show him places she showed LE during the initial investigation.

She is always monitored and they always know where she is.
