As we all know, Casey has filed to be declared indigent because she ran through all the money she got from her days of home confinement. Remember those days in 2008, when she’d spend almost all day of everyday at Baez’s law offices? Remember how she’d show up at his office with her flip-flops, “hey I’mma rock star” sunglasses, and that mighty swollen backpack full of…
What? Well, Caylee, that’s what. Remember how Leonard Padilla said he bonded her out because he was convinced if she just got out of jail she would be able to help find Caylee? Remember how we never saw any evidence of her assisting in finding Caylee during that period? WRONG! The backpack was the evidence. Casey WAS looking for Caylee. She looked for Caylee in the photo albums, she looked for Caylee in memento boxes, and she looked for Caylee on computers filled with digital pics and videos. She spent ALL her time, looking for Caylee – oh, and watching One Tree Hill, and obsessively listening to weird songs about hiding secrets; and making bracelets, surfing Myspace and Facebook and eating strangers’ pizzas.
The reason we were confused that Casey never looked for, or assisted in looking for Caylee is that while half the world looked for a living Caylee at that time, and the other half looked for a dead Caylee at that time – Casey was looking for a marketable Caylee at that time. THAT Caylee would be found in sellable forms of media: pictures and videos. Remember how, in Cindy’s formal deposition with the prosecution in 2009, when they started talking about a picture of Casey and Caylee and whether Cindy had seen Casey leaving with pictures of Caylee and all of a sudden Baez did an on-the-record wig-out, followed by an off-the-record wig-out, followed by an on-the-record “ZIP IT!”?
Remember how that went down? Cindy started saying I’ve never seen this list, and the question of pictures came up and Baez said don’t answer that, and then Cindy had one of her traditional “My mouth just ran off with my bare-ass” moments? Baez couldn’t get her to shut up and hollered right there on tape – ZIP IT! – to his precious Rosebud? Remember how Baez challenged Miss Linda and said this was all determined to be confidential, and don’t go there? He was referring to the private conversation that took place between Judge Strickland, the defense attorneys, and the prosecution on the question of – where you getting all this money, Jose?
So why am I taking a stroll down this bad-memory lane? Because today’s hearing is docketed to discuss the motion the defense filed declaring Casey indigent. In other words, Casey wants her Bloody Black Backpack Back. Only this time it will be in the form of the state of Florida paying for her defense going forward because she claims to have ran through all her lunch money.
Now, the Florida Justice Administrative Commission (JAC), who administers funds for indigent defendants has formerly expressed concerns to the court. Their concerns reduce to: Why is a defendant who has been able to pay out, according to her own formal statement to the court, over $110,000 on her own defense asking to be declared indigent and get state funds for her defense? Can the defendant provide further proof she is, in fact, indigent? WHAT does the defendant think she’s going to pay for with the state’s monies? Because, they more or less state, we’re not sure we agree with what she’s going to say!
Now, Baez has already proffered an informal statement as to why Casey is having to do this. First, it’s the state’s fault. See, if the state would just REFUSE to prosecute Casey for murdering her own daughter, she – he – and they – would still have lots of dough. BUT, because the state of Florida has some kind of neurotic obsession with attempting to bring justice for victims and get murderers off their streets, they have left Casey, Baez et al. bereft of funds to do – whatever the heck it is they have now done for 17 months. And that’s actually real unclear considering – on paper it doesn’t really look like they’ve done a darned thing EXCEPT…
- try to get Roy Kronk named a suspect because his bitter ex-wife has decided her last parting shot to the world will be aimed square at Kronk’s head (oh, and he plays World of Warcraft);
- refused to even formally NAME their expert witnesses to the court, or any other witnesses;
- until the past few days not conduct any depositions;
- and completely ignore the court’s request that they provide the evidence that would support their conspireh-theory that SOMEONE planted Caylee’s body on Suburban Driver after Casey’s grand jury indictment and subsequent long-term residency at OCSO jail.
Oh wait, that list is incomplete:
- spend most of the money on the media circuit making outlandish statements like “there’s just as much evidence Kronk killed Caylee as there is evidence Casey did” or “Casey didn’t kill her kid”;
- and pissing Mark Nejame off so bad he just formally bitch-slapped Jose in front of God and everybody…in writing, even!
Second, Baez states – Casey hasn’t made any income while she’s been sitting in jail. I think this statement is TOTALLY TRUE. She made it all during that home confinement period prior to the indictment – she made it out of her very own big phat bloody backpack.
Speaking of which, in addition to us hearing the JAC demand to know some things we’ve ALL wondered (like just exactly how much money DID you make off your murdered daughter’s pictures? and where did it all go?), we MIGHT get to hear
- the judge rule on the motions going back and forth between Baez and Nejame. See, Baez filed a motion claiming Nejame and his client Tim Miller (aka TES) withheld searcher information. That’s when Nejame put a formal smackdown on Baez’s ass by explaining that not only had they turned over ALL searchers that TES has records were involved in TES searches on Suburban, but they had ALL 4000+ searchers’ records at their office and Baez STILL hasn’t shown up himself, OR sent some one to set and review those documents. NOW – Baez DID send a bevy of folks over there to COPY all those records. Nejame ran them off – as he should have, because that is AGAINST what the court ordered. Nejame didn’t just ask the judge to deny Baez’s new motion…he kind of asked the judge to point out “what a waste…a huge waste” of time it constitutes to all involved by requesting the judge award TES attorney fees for the bullcrap time spent on this.
- the judge rule on the motions filed by the defense to exclude everything from pictures of Casey shaking her bling-bling in public while her daughter rotted in a swamp, to every single statement ever made by anyone that would – point to Casey being a worthless piece of shit, lying about where her daughter was while Caylee was rotting in a swamp, forgetting to breathe because she needed to lie instead, being a stealing parasite, etc. Included in those statements the defense wants excluded are…Cindy’s 911 calls, because…uhh…I’m not sure, but because they are hearsay, that’s why.
In short, today WILL be interesting, it’s just a matter of HOW interesting it could become. But at the end of the day I think my crystal ball can predict that the best advice for pauper-Princess Poopie Pants is this:
Just don’t expect to get your bloody black backpack back…
Valhall.
