Casey is Out Again + Update

Well, Casey Anthony has been bailed out of jail. Again. I guess she decided not to "hold her head up high" again as she came out of the building. But, she's got new body guards to help her and Jose Baez get past the reporters who swarmed the entrance to the jail.

The source of money for the bond is somewhat of a mystery this time. One source says that it was an anonymous donor who is concerned about Casey's constitutional rights. Another source says that the donor is a production company in Tennessee that has made a deal with Casey's parents, Cindy and George for book or movie rights. Yet another source says that ABC's 20/20 program offered the Anthony's 1 million dollars for an exclusive interview. Whatever the source of the money was, she's out. And if the reports of the million dollars are true, the Anthony family are going to be profiting from the disappearance of Caylee, and that is just wrong.

Check this picture out. Is that a smile on her face? She's still not "holding her head up high", either. Head down, hide the smirk behind the bill of the cap and let the bodyguards and the lawyer lead you to your car.

She's quite the "celebrity" now, isn't she? They even had a helicopter following her home. Although from what I saw of the helicopter view of the neighborhood where the Anthony family lives it was one huge traffic jam near the Anthony home. Media trucks, the neighbors, protesters and supporters all jammed the street and brought everything to a standstill in that neighborhood. If I were one of the neighbors on that street, I'd be screaming bloody murder about now.

I suppose there is one thing that works to the advantage of the justice system in having Casey bonded out of jail. When this comes to trial and she is found guilty of the charges she has up to this point, there won't be much credit for "time served" because she's not serving time in jail. She's out, although it's home confinement, she's not "serving time" in jail so they can't subtract from whatever sentences she receives for the child neglect, the lying to investigators, petty theft and use of a forged check. She still hasn't been charged with her daughter's disappearance yet. I'm sure the investigators are working very hard on that part. I'm also sure that the investigators have much, much more evidence than what we've seen in the news.

And I read somewhere that today is George Anthony's birthday. What a present for him, huh? He's got his daughter home to "celebrate" with him. It's sad that poor little Caylee can't celebrate her grandpa's birthday, isn't it? Cindy has been amazingly quiet since the email blasting Tim Miller and Leonard Padilla yesterday. I wonder if the Anthony's new lawyer told her to "shut up" and she listened. So, we wait for the next "act" in the Anthony Family Circus.

Meanwhile, Tim Miller and the EquuSearch teams are out searching for Caylee again today. They'll be searching all weekend as well, unless they find her. Investigation Discovery is backing their crime blogger, David Lohr, and he's there in Orlando with the search teams. He apparently arrived yesterday and will be blogging about the searches. He's already got 2 blog entries up about it this morning.

I mentioned a few days ago that I'd gotten a summons for jury duty. I think I was actually looking forward to doing it. I was supposed to report to the courthouse on Wednesday morning, but Tuesday evening, the county put a notice on their website that my services weren't required and that my jury duty had been completed. I still have no clue what kind of case they were calling jurors for. Oh well. I'm sure they'll "find" me again sometime in the future.. lol...

Update (12:00PM)
Just saw an update on the Orlando Sentinel site about the rumor that ABC was paying the Anthony family. It says:

ABC responds to rumors of the network paying George and Cindy Anthony $1 million for an exclusive interview
2:17 p.m. Some sources close to the Casey Anthony case said that ABC had offered the Anthonys compensation for an interview on the network's show 20/20. However, ABC denies those reports. "It's an ABC News policy not to pay for interviews," said Alyssa Apple, a New York-based publicist for the network.

Other reports show that ABC was offered compensation to sell video footage of the Anthonys to a Nashville-based production company. That claim also has been denied by ABC.

That makes me feel a bit better. So ABC isn't helping the Anthony's profit from the disappearance of Caylee. But we still don't know who this mysterious anonymous benefactor is that paid Casey's way out of jail this time.

On the InSessions Message boards, there were posts earlier about several of the people who post there going to Orlando to help out in the searches for Caylee. There is also another poster who is already in Orlando and has been on a number of the searches and has posted about her experiences. High Five's to all of the searchers! If I were closer to Florida, I would most likely be out there getting mosquito bitten and muddy while searching too.

And The Circus Continues. Larry Garrson? Answer THIS!

To start with, I am going to put in a response to Mr. Larry Garrison, the Anthony family "spokesman", who left a comment on my post about the "circus" the day before yesterday. For those of you who missed his comment, here it is again:

Get your facts straight. I worked with Dave Holloway for three years trying to exposed the Arubans and Joran Van Der Sloot. I co-authored the book.

I am not doing a movie and book on The Anthony Story. I am the spokesperson and I am trying to stop the spin and lies like this. I am not getting paid and I am disgusted with BS reporting like this.

Instead help the family search for Caylee. She was kidnapped and you can make a difference.

Larry Garrison

And, here is my response that day:

Wow! You must be googling your name to find my little blog. How sad for you. Perhaps you can give me a suggestion as to how a person in California is supposed to search for this poor little girl? Should I be out beating the bushes here in Northern California? Fat chance of finding Caylee, wouldn't you say?

As I said in a previous post, if I were closer to Orlando, I would be out searching for that child

Ok, that done, I will get on with more of a response to him. First of all, if I managed to get the wrong information about Mr. Garrison and the Natalie Holloway case, perhaps he should hunt down the source I got the information from and correct them so that no other bloggers like me can write about it again. But, this isn't about the Natalie Holloway case. This is about the Caylee Anthony case.

Mr. Garrison, if you are the designated "family spokesman", why don't we see your face on the news instead of the "world famous" bounty hunter, Leonard Padilla? Why aren't you being interviewed by all those newscasters?

Can you give a positive "spin" to anything? How do you explain Casey taking the investigators on that wild goose chase to a place of employment (that she hadn't worked at for a couple of years), or to the empty apartment where the "nanny" lives (and said apartment had been vacant for months), or to the neighborhood where the "nanny's" mother supposedly lived (where Casey "couldn't remember which house the "mom" lived in), or any of the other stories (lies!) that are documented in the search warrants or the arrest warrant?

Can you give a positive "spin" to the statements by Cindy and George about the car that smelled like a "dead body" had been in it? Or, wait, that dead body got changed to an old pizza in the trunk. Oops.. It got changed again to an old pizza with laundry soap! What's up with that stuff, Mr. Garrison?

Perhaps the public would appreciate some truth from the Anthony family. Perhaps the public would prefer not to hear someone spinning stories. I know I'd like to see some truths. Especially from Casey! You say that you are "disgusted" by the BS that you are seeing about this case. Well, you want to know something? I am disgusted as well. Disgusted by the whole Anthony family. Cindy and George want their granddaughter back and I can understand that. But, both have yelled at the "public" to go out and find Caylee. Casey is the one they should be yelling at. Casey is the one who "lost" her daughter and then proceeded to party on at Fusion and pursue her relationship with the new boyfriend, Tony. Caylee is missing and there are no clues to give anyone a chance at searching for her. Where would a search start? The empty apartment? I think not. What does this Zenaida look like? How about a better description of her? And perhaps an actual, truthful location of where Casey left her daughter. What was Caylee wearing when Casey "lost" her? Has that ever been mentioned? I sure haven't seen it.

I have another question for you, Mr. Garrison. You told me in your comment that I should help the Anthony family search for Caylee. You (and the rest of the Anthony family) say she has been "kidnapped". How the hell am I supposed to "help the Anthony family" search? Send me a plane ticket and give me a place to stay in Florida and I'll go out and beat the bushes and search for the "nanny". I've seen numerous mentions of you doing your "spin" control on blogs, on message boards and in emails. Why aren't you in Florida helping with the search? Or is your job just to sit and google your name or to search the blogs and message boards for posts so that you can tell people that they need to help the Anthony's?

Maybe, Mr. Garrison, you should get together with Casey's lawyer and try to figure out a way of getting Caylee's location from Casey, after all, she is the one with the answers. Not this blogger in California. Not the posters on message boards. Not the people who've sent you emails. And not the bounty hunter and his pals.

End of rant.

I will be very surprised if Larry Garrison finds this blog again, and I would be very surprised if the actually replies to any of this... So, on with the circus. Casey is out of jail and has her new piece of jewelry on her ankle. Cindy and George have their daughter home with them now. But, her lawyer has ordered her not to speak to anyone about the case. So, Caylee is still out there somewhere and Mr. Baez has his priorities set up. First and foremost is Casey's defense. After that, comes finding Caylee. It seems to me that the first priority should be finding that child. If the child is found safe, wouldn't the defense be a lot easier to "spin"?

When I got my mail from the post office yesterday I found a jury summons. I have to report to the Sutter County courthouse on Sept. 3rd. I have no clue what kind of cases are coming up over at the courthouse, so it's a mystery to me as to what kind of cases they're doing jury selection for. The summons says I have to check with the courthouse the night before or early on the morning of the 3rd to see if they still need me to drive over there. We shall see, I guess.
