Other discovery documents released were the Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Reports; Supplemental Report Gives Witness Details and Sheriff’s Office Evidence Property Forms

FRI, February 20, 2009 – the tape of the actual interview of P.I. Dominic Casey was released. P.I. Casey has been under fire, because he visited the crime scene where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found a month prior to her remains being officially being taken into evidence. P.I. Casey gave detectives different reasons for why he went there.

Roy K.’s atty. David L. Evans sent a 2-page letter to Padilla demanding that Padilla stop making what he calls “irresponsible and malicious conduct” against his client.

Atty. Evans put Padilla on notice that he would pursue legal action if LP continued to publicly speculate and make false accusations about Roy K. being involved in some sort of “daisy-chain” type communication regarding the location of Caylee Anthony’s remains.

WED, February 25, 2009 – Judge José R. Rodriguez presided over the hearing regarding a motion by Atty. Brad Conway to disallow the video-taped depositions for C & G Anthony in the presence of the media. These depositions were last scheduled to be held on 2/26/09.

Atty. Conway stated that C & G were under doctor’s care as they grieve for their granddaughter Caylee, yet he was not prepared to present medical information to the court as proof. Conway stated they [C & G Anthony] are not emotionally able to handle testifying in the defamation lawsuit against their daughter Casey.

Atty. Mitnik argued on behalf of ZFG that she has a right to clear her name, she was sucked into the case through no actions of her own and the Anthonys have actually perpetuated the accusations that have ruined her reputation, such as a statement Cindy made in July about Casey forgiving Zenaida for taking off with Caylee.

Judge Rodriguez postponed the depositions for C & G Anthony for 20 days…Atty. Conway will need to submit medical evidence regarding doctor’s care and Atty. Mitnik will need to submit legal evidence supporting the right of the media being present at a deposition for this type of civil suit.

THU, February 26, 2009 – Baez submitted a Motion to Stay the Release of the jail video footage of Casey’s reaction to the news about a human skull finding on Suburban Drive near the Anthony home on 12/11/08.

10:02 p.m. Michele M. clarified her statement about Lee contacting her via MySpace on 7/3/2008. She wrote an e-mail message to Detective Yuri Melich saying Lee DID NOT contact her. However, she was contacted by Brian L. She also noted the comment Casey posted on Jonathan Lorentz’s FB about going to the Dragon Room has been DELETED. Jonathan deleted his entire wall on FB from 12/2/08 and preceding dates.

FRI, February 27, 2009 – Atty. John Morgan and Co-counsel Keith Mitnik conducted a 3 ½ hr. video-taped deposition of Lee Anthony for the ZFG civil suit against Casey Anthony.

Lee believes the reason Casey used the 6/9/08 date as the last time she saw Caylee was because she heard Cindy say it about 50 times on the night of 7/15/08 before LE arrived. Although Lee said he had never heard the name Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez before he made it very clear that the person filing the law suit was not the same Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez that Casey described to him.

Lee contradicted previous statements that he’s made when he testified under oath Friday. In the past, Lee Anthony told Orange County investigators and Casey’s friends that she is a liar and that she’s stolen money from him and other relatives. Under oath for this deposition, Lee tells Atty. John Morgan, “To this day I believe everything my sister tells me.”

A subpoena requesting deposition of P.I. Dominic Casey for ZFG civil suit was returned.
