This live thread will cover the Orange County (FL) investigators' news conference today on the Caylee Anthony case. It is set to start at 1:30 p.m. EST. It was reported that it is being held due to intense public demand for information on this case. The participants will include: 1. Sgt. Allen 2. Det. Melich 3. CSI Bloise (forensics) 4. Dep. Forgy (K-9 handler) 4. Dep. Osbourne (computer specialist: chloroform)
Do you know what kinds of acts would be considered jury misconduct?
Intellgence section assessing threats to Casey (as they come in). Hopes people step back, regardless of feelings and not comment another crime.
Didn’t the jury factor in the jailhouse video of Casey and her parents laughing at the theory of drowning or did they just take Jose at his word while ignoring the fact the family disputed it?
No, but I think I’ve heard that talking about the case outside of the court room is misconduct, and I believe one or two of the jurors have said they did just that. I was actually thinking of jury tampering (by the defense) when I wrote that post, not misconduct.
Oh, I don’t know—accepting a bundle of cash so you can quit your job at Publix and retire to Costa Rica?
jk.
I remember the alternate juror, Russell something, blabbed first. He said "all 17 agreed" (among other comments) and I inferred from his comments that they had all been discussing the case before it had even been given to them. (Disclaimer: Just my take.)
This cop just said the witness tampering investigation is "ongoing" and therefore cannot give any details.
OCSO contacted Casey through Baez’s office regarding sexual abuse charges to investigate. Those offers were declined.
Never determined who father was.
LOL. Me too.
I’m sorry. I knew you were talking about jury tampering and I have a good idea of what that amounts to but your remark made me wonder whether jury misconduct might be an issue too and I don’t know exactly what is considered jury misconduct. Talking outside the deliberation rooms is no doubt one method. I’ll have to do a web search to find out if there are others. It just seems to me this jury might have crossed other lines.
Mostly just softball lib feely type questions. I’d rather doubt there is any additional information to cling to from this. jmo
Thanks, yes, I recall the alternate talking as though he’d been sitting in on all of the deliberations which made me believe they’d discussed the case outside of court. I wasn’t sure if that rose to the level of jury misconduct though it makes sense that it would. I’ll have to do a search to see what other things constitute jury misconduct.
Maybe there are some interview transcripts. I’d love to see some fines hit these dufuses. (or would that be dufii?)
I would agree, except for post #45. Now that’s interesting.
I believe it’s conceivable they discussed it before deliberations.
Please send me a FReepmail after you do so. Thx
Will do!
And didn’t the judge tell the jury each day not to discuss this case?
Not to mention that Jose Baez was acting all cocky the morning of the verdict. Remember him acting like six shooter in the hallway?
Remember it all too well.
Well, have to go to an appointment in town—luckily, the news conference is over, so I won’t be missing anything from that. Interesting news conf, especially about the possible witness tampering...
