Casey Anthony in Jail Till July 13


UPDATE - The numbers have been calculated. Casey Anthony will be released from jail on Wednesday, July 13, 2011.

The smile on Casey Anthony's face faded quickly today, when she realized she was not going to stroll out of the Orange County courthouse this afternoon.

Dressed in lavender (Caylee's favorite color; a nice, hypocritical touch), and sporting her semi-Snooki hair pouf, Casey settled in her usual courtroom seat. She proceeded to engage her defense team in giggly chat, as she fiddled incessantly with her ratty locks.

Hizzoner Belvin Perry shot down the defense's attempt to have the four counts of lying to law enforcement dismissed, and quickly sentenced Casey to one year in prison for each of the charges.

Perry also acknowledged he will give Casey credit for time already served. As inmates also accrue time for "good behavior", Perry will sit down with Casey's defense team later today, and tally up the numbers.

A rough estimate of the numbers: Casey will probably be out of jail in early August.

Casey's First Job Offer Now Gone




Early yesterday, Steve Hirsch, from Vivid Entertainment, reached out to Casey Anthony's attorneys with a job offer. Steve offered Casey a starring role in a porn flick.




It made sense to Steve - hell, we've all seen Casey's party pictures. She'd have been a natural. And you really can't list "stealing checks from family and friends" on a resume when seeking gainful employment.




Turns out, even porn moguls are feeling the effects of the backlash of Casey's "not guilty" verdict. Last night, Mr. Hirsch rescinded his offer.




In a statement, Steve said, "We were ready to make an offer to Casey to star in one of our feature films. It's clear to me now, however, that there has been an overwhelmingly negative response to our offer, and so we've decided to withdraw it. We now believe that we underestimated the emotional response that people are having to the verdict. A movie starring Casey Anthony is not want people want to see."


Juror 3 - Jennifer Ford - Jenny Does Disney


Juror 3 has surfaced. Jennifer Ford, a 32-year-old nursing student, has talked to ABC News about the jury's stunning verdict in the Casey Anthony trial.

Jennifer's mother, Lynn Ford, said her daughter was not paid for the interview, but said that Jennifer and four others were treated to a trip to Disney World.

FYI - The Walt Disney Co. owns the ABC Network.

Food for Thought - Jennifer and company will probably spend more time at Disney, then the amount of time jurors spent deliberating their verdict in the Casey Anthony trial.

Jennifer would probably disagree. She claims jurors were "sick to their stomachs" over their decision to acquit Casey. Sick to her stomach? Then don't get on that teacup ride at Disney, sister.

More Gems From Jenny - "I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be."

Let me dumb-down a few salient points for you, Jennifer, to assist you. You have a narcissistic sociopath mother, Casey Anthony. Remember her? That was what's called the defendant. You have her daughter, Caylee. Caylee was the little girl that was murdered. Do you remember seeing those horrible pictures of those tiny bones with the duct tape wrapped about the skull? That was Caylee's body.

Okay, now let's go over this - Caylee was last seen with Casey. Caylee disappears. Casey doesn't report Caylee missing. Casey sleeps with men, enters Hot Body contests, dances the night away in clubs, and gets a tattoo. After 31 days, Casey's mother, Cindy, calls the police, because Casey claims Caylee was kidnapped by a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez.

You will probably understand this part a little easier, since you understand about magical places and people - that's what Disney's all about. Just like Tinkerbell, and Goofy, and Pluto, and Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse - Zenaida wasn't real. So that creates what we call a PROBLEM. Because if there is no Zenaida, then where did Caylee go?

Okay, now stay with me, because this may be hard for you to understand. Casey never reported Caylee missing. Her mother did. Casey lies to her family and investigators. Casey goes to jail. Try to remember, Caylee was eventually found dead, her head wrapped in duct tape that came from the house Casey last lived in. Caylee was also stuffed inside a laundry bag that came from the house Casey last lived in.

Hang on to your souvenier mouse ears, Jenny,because there's more going on here that you apparently were unable to grasp. You were chosen for jury duty. Your job, during those six weeks, was to see and listen to the evidence that was presented, and to render a verdict, based on the evidence. Not to decide how Casey was going to be punished, as you stated in your interview. Punishment, at the time you went in to deliberate, was NOT to be considered.

After you and your fellow jurors rendered your incomprehensible verdict, you say, "We were crying, and not just the women."

You say that you and your fellow jurors didn't want to speak to the media right after the trial, because, "It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity, and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial."

The dictionary definition of integrity means "a firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptability."

So, less the 24 hours after returning to Pinellas County, how was YOUR integrity maintained, Jennifer? By accepting a free trip to Disney World, in exchange for an interview.

Geez, even Judas was smarter. He got 30 pieces of silver for one kiss.

Juror 6 Hires A Publicist








TMZ is reporting this afternoon that one of the 12 jurors in the Casey Anthony trial has hired a publicist, Rick French.

The juror is described as a 33-year-old married male with two young children (Juror 6). According to a letter sent by the publicist, the juror "is willing to consider granting one or more media interviews so long as the opportunities are paid."

French continues with, "He will not entertain any offers that don't include compensation for a myriad of reasons."

According to TMZ, their sources tell them that the high offers thus far are in the "mid 5-figures".

Surprise, surprise.

Russel Huekler - Your 15 Minutes Are Up




While the 12 simpletons that voted to acquit Casey Anthony yesterday remain (mercifully) mute, alternate juror Russell Huekler has wasted no time making the media rounds.


Today we have gleaned an insight into the mental void of the 12 jurors and the 5 alternates, thanks to Russell. The jurors liked Jose Baez. They thought Casey Anthony was a good mother. They thought George Anthony had something to hide. They thought Caylee's death was an accident, and that the aftermath of Caylee's death spun out of control.


The jurors were apparently blissfully untroubled by a mother failing to report her child missing for 31 days. The jailhouse tapes, showing Casey in all her narcissistic, sociopathic glory, repeating lie after lie after lie? The fact Casey led investigators to Universal Studios, home of the nonexistent job, and then proceeded to be captured on tape continuing to lie? Well, the jurors couldn't wiggle out of that evidence, so they were at least bright enough to find her guilty on those charges.

From Russell's comments, it appears that the jurors bought Jose's opening statements, hook, line, and sinker, then checked out mentally for the next six weeks. Russel denies this, saying the jury paid attention to the evidence presented.

I stand by my earlier assessment that the jurors hit the deliberation room with one goal in mind - to get the hell out of Orange County as quickly as they could. They didn't want to be there. I would imagine that they spent at most a half hour discussing the case on Monday evening, and sat around twiddling their thumbs for a bit on Tuesday, then announced they'd reached a verdict.

Poor Russell definitely drank the Casey Kool-Aid - he sounds a bit smitten with her when he talks about her. That matter of a dead child was as inconsequential to him as it was to Casey. The most he can offer? He thinks Casey "needs help".

Russell probably spent the better part of the last six weeks thinking about the extra money he'd make from media appearances once this trial was over. And, less then 24 hours after the verdict was read in this case, many are sick of the sight of him.

Russell, your 15 minutes are up.

Farewell, Jeff Ashton



Prosecutor Jeff Ashton announced yesterday, within hours of the Casey Anthony verdict, that he will be retiring. Kudos to Mr. Ashton for a job well done, and for his years of dedicated service. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

Cheney Mason Gives the Finger




Not content with his bashing of the media during the defense's press conference after the appalling verdict in the Casey Anthony trial; defense lawyer Cheney Mason gives the finger to onlookers as the defense team partied at a restaurant across the street from the courthouse.
