Casey's reaction will be released

Judge Belvin Perry has granted a motion to unseal a videotape in the Casey Anthony case.
That video shows Casey Anthony’s reaction to learning remains of her daughter Caylee were found. Stan Strickland, the former judge in the case, ordered it to be sealed.

In the motion, Judge Perry wrote:
The jail video, as the Court has previously recognized, is a public record subject to disclosure under Chapter 119. The reason for sealing it - Ms. Anthony's right to a fair trial - is no longer applicable because the trial has been completed and she has been acquitted of all charges other than lying to law enforcement officers.

OC DOC hold a news conference regarding Casey!

UPDATE: Casey will be expected to arrive tomm. between 7am and 10 am. Sources say Judge Perry may issue a stay which in that case Casey won't have to appear.  Casey's attorney's are hopeful a stay will be granted. She will have to show up in person herself and check in with her probation officer.  Probation officers saw her only once while she was in jail.  Baez had said earlier this week that Orange County was basically giving a death penalty to Casey if they make her come to Orange County. 

Judge Strickland in Orlando recused himself from the case on Wednesday. His order did not say why.
Earlier this week, he had ordered Casey back to Orlando to meet a probation officer to start a year of probation.
She has vanished from public view but as you know from my previous blog, she has been spotted in Ohio shopping happily for herself!
Strickland sentenced Casey to probation in January 2010 for using checks stolen from a friend. Corrections officials interpreted the sentence so that she served the probation while in jail awaiting her murder trial. Strickland says he meant the probation period to start upon her release.

 DOC says that if Casey does not check in by 10:00 am tomm. she will have a warrant issued against her.  "If she does not check in by 10a tomorrow, we will notify the court." They have not received any threats as of yet towards Casey, but if they will they will work with local law enforcement.  "I know that it's not uncommon for offenders to serve at least part of their probation in jail.  We are prepared to administer the order of the court."  She said Casey will be treated just like any offender and her public records will be entered into public database.  Therefore all her information will be there for anyone to view. If there is a threat, a determination will be made at that time, depending on the threat.  In some cases, offender addresses can be kept private.  Offenders must also have a job and must show that they are looking for a job.  She will have to appear at her probation facility once a month and they also do check her residence.
Casey must provide an address and it is her responsibility to find a place to reside. Social Services are available if she needs them.  Nobody knows who her probation officer will be until she comes in. That depends where she will serve her probation.  If she wants to serve her probation at another state, DOC has to contact the other state and deal with them. "It is not an overnight process."  She will have to qualify for this type of probation.

"The DOC made no mistakes in this case. We do whatever the courts want."  She cannot have a firearm, she has to be employed, random drug testing will also be held. 
Her attorneys have been cooperative and "very nice""They have assured us they will be here before 10 am tomm."  If new information is known , DOC  will update the reporters as the day goes by.

So there you have it guys! Seems like Casey will have to serve her probation and most likely in Orange County.

Will Casey get lucky again?

Judge Stan Strickland just signed court documents this morning that will require Casey to serve one year of supervised probation as he originally intended back when he sentenced her in her check fraud case.  


Dept. of Corrections spokeswoman also said she (Casey)  must report in person in Orange County with the next 72 hours.
Strickland said on Thursday that his intention in sentencing Anthony last year was that she should go on supervised probation if released from custody. But state Department of Corrections officials interpreted Strickland's order as meaning that Casey Anthony could serve her probation while still in jail awaiting trial.
Don't know how, since when you listen to him state the order it is obvious that he meant upon her release from jail!
 The state attorney's office spokesman said the Department of Corrections policy allows defendants to serve probation while still in jail and not under sentence.
"I read the order," said state attorney's spokesman Randy Means. "The order said she was supposed to begin when she was released from her sentence."The Dept. of Correction's terminated her probation on Jan. 24 and allowed her to leave the Orange County Jail on July 17 with no restrictions following her acquittal at trial in the murder case last month.
It's likely Casey's defense team will challenge this turn of events, and say that she should not serve probation because she already did that while in jail. An argument claiming "double jeopardy" is expected.
Casey IS the devil
If that happens, the defense would have to make that legal argument before Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry in some kind of emergency hearing.

Honestly I agree with my husband when he says that this BEAST keeps getting luckier and luckier and believe that she did in fact make a pact with the devil!
