<p>And so do you also go after the prosecution? Remember THEY are the ones who forced the expenses of the trial. They hold some guilt in that fact…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No one will force you to go down that road again. You can remain happily silent. :)</p>
<p>I just think it is noteworthy that this statement came from one of the actual jurors. Apparently at least one of them did not believe she was “innocent,” yet had to follow her understanding of how the law must be applied. Which is how you hope all jurors behave.</p>
<p>mom post #1276, I believe she was fined the hefty sum of $1,000. The only hope of some BIG “cost reimbursement” (could amount to 7-figures plus) is in the hands of the police, FBI, and other agencies who are likely to want to be reimbursed for their efforts that resulted from her false claims.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone wanted Casey released from jail today other than Casey herself. Baez won’t admit it, but he is probably fine with her in protective custody at the jail, which means he doesn’t have to worry about her on the streets right now and him having to oversee her safety. I’m not sure how it exactly works her getting out, but the judge surely had at his finger tips this morning formulas for time already served, gain time, etc. and could have done everything this morning. The state, defense, and judge I’m sure had an understanding in place before the hearing this morning about what they would do. It wouldn’t surprise me if Casey is released in the middle of the night in a week after agreement is done in background with all parties without benefit of public hearing; she’ll show up at later date in court to tie up loose ends, such as money matters.</p>
<p>When did Baez know this was “an accident”. Was the drowning ever brought up to officials before the Baez opening statement. He may have avoided this entire trial. So you keep your client from telling police it was a tragic accident so she could face a murder 1 charge?? Maybe we could charge Baez for the entire cost of the trial.</p>
<p>In addition to the governmental agencies who will want reimbursement from Casey Anthony, there are private entities who will try to recoup damages in the event that she strikes it big financially from the whole debacle. From a CNN article:</p>

<p>[Casey</a> Anthony gets maximum jail time, could walk free in weeks - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/07/07/florida.casey.anthony.next/index.html]Casey”>http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/07/07/florida.casey.anthony.next/index.html)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The prosecution lost. They were “wrong.” Maybe they should be charged with the cost of the trial.</p>
<p>I read a page or so back that neither George nor Cindy are working, and there was something about Cindy possibly being on disability. What is going on there? I also saw an interview with a prosecutor who said that he had put off retirement to handle this case, and was now retiring. He didn’t look much over 50. </p>
<p>And I saw an interview with a former boyfriend of Casey’s - scum of the earth:</p>
<p>[msnbc.com</a> Video Player](<a href=“http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43669090#43652222]msnbc.com”>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43669090#43652222)</p>
<p>hops_scout - I’m saying the entire trial could have been avoided if they came and said it was a tragic accident, she panicked and discarded the child. She would have had a few minor charges and that’s it. He chose to keep that a secret till trial - the trial expense is the defenses fault.</p>
<p>kleibo… dont think the prosecutor would ever have agreed to that</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It also could have been avoided when the prosecution realized it had NO CASE. It had ZERO evidence to convince anybody that she did it. Everybody thinks she did and frankly the chances of her having been involved are high, but there was NO EVIDENCE. But they preceded on anyway in hopes the emotion would take over and they’d win their case.</p>
<p>They didn’t.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why would it be Baez’ responsibility to “oversee her safety?” I’m sure he doesn’t want to see anything bad happen to her, but if he takes that on, it will likely be a job of many years duration. His job was to represent her in a murder case, which he has done successfully and will soon be completed.</p>
<p>I guess there is more money to be made from her if he decides to legally represent her in future money making opportunities, though that type of law is presumably not his specialty. I suppose then it could be in his interest to oversee her security.</p>
<p>I wonder if Casey truly understands the vitriol which is soon to come her way when she is released. No amount of money would be worth it if one had to live the rest of your life constantly looking over your shoulder for some crazy vigilante.</p>
<p>But who knows, there are always people who love to hang around celebs, regardless of how horrible the reasons for their notoriety. I once saw OJ Simpson in an airport bar when I was there to get a glass of liquid courage before my flight. He was King of the Court in that bar; people were shaking his hand, asking him to pose for pictures with him, etc. At one point, he reached over a woman’s shoulder who was eating at the bar and grabbed a french fry off her plate. She merely giggled.</p>
<p>Go after the prosecution for the money that was spent on the “wild goose chases?” That’s pretty silly. At that point law enforcement was investigating a missing persons case and she made false statements that caused manpower to be misappropriated. She owes the taxpayers of Florida that money.</p>
<p>Wow, she is getting out next Wednesday the 13th. I can only imagine the circus outside the jail that day!</p>
<p>Wow - Now I’m really sick.</p>
<p>I just read an article that the State of Florida has filed a motion against Casey to recoup some of the costs of investigating her case. Also, the real Zenaida Gonzalez (whom Casey falsely named as Caylee’s nanny) has served Casey with a defamation suit.</p>
<p>
NO they dont. The last thing we need is for DAs across the country to become even more hesitant in bringing criminal charges than they already are. In this particular case there was no way the DAs office could not bring charges against Casey -the public and media outcry was tremendous.</p>
<p>Given the political nightmare this is going to turn into for the people who authorized all those expenses and the Prosecutor’s office, they probably just want her out of there, and the story over, ASAP.</p>
<p>Some of these people will be up for election in 12. I can’t imagine they want Casey Anthony, or whatever her new name will be, hanging around to be interviewed or released or whatnot. The sooner they get her out of Florida, the better, is what they all think now. </p>
<p>The end result of a botched media case. I wonder where she will surface next?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep, had to take it to trial. Wouldn’t want to get voted out for doing what was right!</p>
<p>^^^ well I and many others think they were right to take this case to trial, politics aside.</p>
