CASEY ANTHONY ADOPTS A BABY

By Frank Lake on May 8, 2012
 
 
 


ORLANDO, FL – Sources close to  Casey Anthony’s attorney confirmed today that Casey has adopted a baby girl from Romania.

Reporters from Orange County confirmed that Casey Anthony applied to adopt a baby girl (2 years old) from Eastern Europe in early 2010.  Sources say she was accepted by the Romanian government – pending the conclusion of her trial.



It is expensive to adopt a baby from Romania.  Some say legal costs run in excess of $25,000 to adopt, but Casey has reportedly offered the Romanians three times that amount.

Casey has plenty of money rolling in now with book deals, movie deals and a porn video that she is slated to shoot in early August.  She is already worth over $8 million dollars because of her book deal.  READ about it here.

Sources close to friends of Casey say she offered the Romanian adoption agency $75,000 for the baby.

Casey will reportedly fly to Bucharest on July 25th to pick up the baby.  Her adoption attorney will not say where Casey and the baby will live, but many are speculating that she will return to the U.S. and live with her aunt in Texas.

Romanians are appalled about the adoption and are trying to stop it from going forward. “We do not want one of our babies being adopted by that monster,” said Flaviu Trasicu.  “We have standards here that citizens of the United States do not.  As a society, we cherish our children and punish child abusers.”



Casey Anthony reportedly wants to prove to the world that she is a good mother.  Sources say she told corrections officers in the Orange County Jail last summer that she plans on adopting 3-4 babies and having 3-4 of her own.  “She thinks she can handle a lot of kids,” said Tommy Kimplin of the Orange County Jail.  “She feels like she’s changed.”

Casey has not chosen a name for the baby girl she is going to adopt, “but it’s not going to begin with a ‘C’, that’s for sure.”

Americans are outraged about the verdict… and now this!  Some feel that maybe she should stay in Romania…

Casey Anthony has broken her almost year-long silence to conduct the first interview since her acquittal in July last year for the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee by declaring that 'I didn't kill my daughter...but I'm ashamed of the person that I was.'

Talking to CNN's Piers Morgan before he spoke to her attorney J. Cheney Mason on his 'Piers Morgan Tonight' show, the most reviled mother in America denied murdering her child and acknowledged that, 'The public perception of me is bad, absolutely horrible.'

Reading aloud the transcripts of his 'world exclusive' chat with hated Anthony, Morgan revealed that the 26-year-old denies reports she has put on massive amounts of weight and refuted any suggestions she was moving to Costa Rica.

She's back: Sporting short, blonde locks and glasses, Anthony is almost unrecognisable on the YouTube video diary


Casey Anthony's last public appearance was in October in a YouTube diary she posted online. She spoke today to CNN's Piers Morgan

'I do not weigh 500 pounds and I am not moving to Costa Rica,' said Anthony to Morgan in a telephone conversation that Mason was present for prior to his appearance on CNN.

'It's doubtful she weighs 120 pounds,' said Mason.

Telling Morgan that she was 'not a party girl' and that she had, 'never done drugs apart from marijuana in my early 20's,' Anthony was keen to set the record straight.

Telling Morgan that she 'had gone through hell' since her July 2011 acquittal, the 26-year-old impressed the CNN host with what he called her new-found maturity.

'Obviously, I didn't kill my daughter. If anything in this world I was more proud of was my daughter. She was my greatest accomplishment. I didn't kill my girl,' explained Anthony to Morgan.

Heading off any suggestions that CNN might have paid Anthony for the interview, Morgan sought clarification from her.

'I'm not making gazillions dollars,' said Anthony.

'I don't give an expletive about money... I may have in past... I was a stupid kid. I am 26 now. I have gone through hell.'

However, her attorney Mason did add: 'We are sitting back watching. ... When the time comes she will have her story to tell.'

During the aired twenty minute segment, Morgan revealed a snapshot of Anthony's life since she was acquitted of the murder of her two-year old daughter Caylee in July 2011.

Cut off from everyday life, Anthony told Morgan that she spends each day at home cooking, cleaning, exercising and watching television.

Admitting to Morgan that she has come to love old comedy shows such as 'The Three Stooges' and 'I Love Lucy', Anthony also said that she enjoys reading fiction, especially 'The Hunger Games' trilogy in which children fight to the death in televised contests.

'She doesn't watch the news. She doesn't watch these so-called reality shows that are about as real as wrestling.,' said Mason.

'She's reading a trilogy of books called 'Hunger Games.' .. She's very interested in photography, works out a lot, likes 'I Love lucy,' 'The Three Stooges,' travel.'

WHAT DOES CASEY ANTHONY DO WITH HER DAYS?

*    The 26-year-old told CNN's Piers Morgan that she feels like a prisoner in her home and spends her days cooking, cleaning, reading books, exercising and watching television. She has become a fan of vintage comedies such as 'The Three Stooges' and 'I Love Lucy' and has become interested in photography. She also admitted to being a fan of 'The Hunger Games' book trilogy which are about children killing other children in order to survive in a dystopian future.


Granting the exclusive telephone conversation to CNN's Morgan, Anthony was explicit on how she feels about the public's perception of her during and after the trial.

'It's horrible. It looks absolutely horrible, and I'm ashamed in many ways of the person that I was," Anthony said over the phone. 'Even then, that wasn't who I am.'

Responding to these comments, her attorney was keen to say Anthony has not had the chance to explain herself.

'Casey had a bad background. Lot of problems with her history that don't need to be talked about now,' said Mason.

'Indeed, she didn't trust anybody.

'In Casey-world she made things up, she denied things but she just closed in. She just had a very difficult time dealing with it.

'She is now trying to emerge from that.

'She learned at the same time a lot of the world did how she grieves differently after her child disappeared and an expert explained that.'

Mason made it clear that despite earning her freedom, Anthony's life is not free.

'She is in a different prison,' said Mason.

'She can't go outside.

'She spends the day in the house, cooks, cleans, exercises, watches programs on TV, movies mostly.'

Discussing his conversation with Anthony to Mason, Piers Morgan said that he was struck by her self-awareness of her situation.

NOT GUILTY: CASEY ANTHONY

*    Casey Anthony was acquitted last summer of the murder in 2008 of her daughter Caylee, who was then aged two.

*    She was however, convicted of four counts of lying to authorities investigating the child's disappearance.

*    Released on July 17 of 2011 due to time already served, Anthony's trial captivated the nation and left millions outraged when she was found not guilty of her child's murder.

*    Little Caylee was last seen on June 16, 2008 but Anthony did not report her missing until July 15, 2008.

*    Police searched for the toddler for five months, eventually finding Caylee's remains in a wood a mile from her grandparents' Orlando home.

*    Her defence team said that Anthony did not murder Caylee and that the child accidently drowned in her grandparent's pool and that Anthony and her father George Anthony covered up the death in a panic.

*    George Anthony denied this in his testimony and the prosecution alleged that Anthony used chloroform to cause Caylee to fall unconscious and then duct-taped her mouth and nose to suffocate her.

'She accepts reality,' said Mason.

'She knows that the hate mongers are out there in their legions.'

'She has to accept that people hate her.

'She gets a lot of favourable mail too.'

Asking Mason if Anthony would ever consider becoming a mother again, her attorney was equivocal.

'She probably would. It would take a long time [though] for her to be accepted.'

Anthony is currently on probation in Florida as she awaits a check on a fraud conviction, but the court has ordered her exact location to be kept a secret because of death threats.

Since going into hiding, Anthony has appeared only occasionally in online video diaries that have been leaked.

In one online posting, she discussed her new blond bob hair style, having her nose pierced, and her new pet dog.

Other images on the Internet showed Anthony in a bar.

In none of these appearances was her daughter mentioned.

It was initially speculated that Anthony could command up to $750,000 for her first exclusive interview following her trial, but the big four national networks and cable news declined to pay that sum.

The infamous Florida mother, had teamed up with Los Angeles-based TV producer Scott Sternberg to pitch an interview to all the networks.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the interview had a price tag of $500,000 to $750,000, but CBS News, ABC News and NBC News all stated they would not pay for an interview with Anthony.

Recent reports have revealed that Anthony has been forced to leave her South Florida hiding place and go on the run after her location was discovered by private investigators.

It has also been reported that 26-year-old Anthony has lost her looks because she has put on so much weight that she has become virtually unrecognisable.

The private investigators who discovered where she has been hiding were said to have been hired by Zenaida Gonzalez, who is suing the 'tot mom' for defamation.

A source told RadarOnline: 'Casey absolutely flipped out when she found out that private investigators hired by Zenaida Gonzalez, discovered where she was.

'The private investigators were attempting to serve Casey with a subpoena to appear at the trial, which is expected to begin in January.

'Casey had been venturing out at night and the investigators had been tipped off by people who had seen her.'Casey is a smart girl and quickly determined that she had been found and refused to leave the house or accept service of the subpoena.

'The P.I.s weren't stalking her or doing any surveillance, they just wanted to serve her and move on.

'Casey was extremely upset that she had been found because she had settled into a routine and felt safe in South Florida.

'Casey's lawyer advised her that she needed to move though and they worked together over the past two weeks to move yet again. She is hopeful this will be the final move before her probation ends, at which time, she doesn't have to stay in Florida.'

After her dramatic acquittal, Anthony spent months in hiding where she reportedly just sits indoors on the computer while comfort eating - and so has piled on the pounds.

But a source has revealed that this new look - including a 'puffy face' - has apparently given her fresh courage as she has been leaving her home regularly.

'Casey has been venturing out on a much more frequent basis recently because she is almost unrecognisable,' a source told RadarOnline.com. 'She hasn't needed to wear a disguise because of the physical transformation.'

The source added that she has turned to comfort eating and pops out at night to rent films and collect food from restaurants - but won't stay anywhere too long.

'Casey doesn't feel safe anywhere and just wants to leave the country and begin a new life,' the source added.

It has since been claimed that she become a newborn Christian and was been baptized again in a bid to symbolise a new beginning.

I wonder how much longer she can keep this facade up.

[JTiscool]

And so it has come to light, a little too late if I may add

Casey Anthony detectives overlooked Google search

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Florida sheriff's office that investigated the disappearance of Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter overlooked evidence that someone in their home did a Google search for "fool-proof" suffocation methods on the day the girl was last seen alive.

Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office's computer investigator missed the June 16, 2008, search. The agency's admission was first reported by Orlando television station WKMG. It's not known who performed the search. The station reported it was done on a browser primarily used by the 2-year-old's mother, Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of the girl's murder in 2011.

Anthony's attorneys argued during trial that Casey Anthony helped her father, George Anthony, cover up the girl's drowning in the family pool.

WKMG reports that sheriff's investigators pulled 17 vague entries only from the computer's Internet Explorer browser, not the Mozilla Firefox browser commonly used by Casey Anthony. More than 1,200 Firefox entries, including the suffocation search, were overlooked.

Whoever conducted the Google search looked for the term "fool-proof suffication," misspelling "suffocation," and then clicked on an article about suicide that discussed taking poison and putting a bag over one's head.

The browser then recorded activity on the social networking site MySpace, which was used by Casey Anthony but not her father.

A computer expert for Anthony's defense team found the search before the trial. Her lead attorney, Jose Baez, first mentioned the search in his book about the case but suggested it was George Anthony who conducted the search after Caylee drowned because he wanted to kill himself.

Not knowing about the computer search, prosecutors had argued Caylee was poisoned with chloroform and then suffocated by duct tape placed over her mouth and nose. The girl's body was found six months after she disappeared in a field near the family home and was too decomposed for an exact cause of death to be determined.

Prosecutors presented evidence that someone in the Anthony home searched online for how to make chloroform, but Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy, claimed on the witness stand that she had done the searches by mistake while looking up information about chlorophyll.

Many jurors apparently went into hiding amid public outrage over the verdict and refused to comment, but two have said prosecutors couldn't conclusively prove how Caylee died.

Prosecutors Linda Drane Burdick and Jeff Ashton didn't respond to emails from The Associated Press on Sunday.

But Ashton told WKMG that "it's just a shame we didn't have it. This certainly would have put the accidental death claim in serious question."

Baez didn't respond to phone or email messages Sunday from The Associated Press but told WKMG that he expected prosecutors to bring up the search at trial.

"When they didn't, we were kind of shocked," Baez, who no longer represents Anthony, told the station. Her attorney, Cheney Mason, who was also on the trial team, didn't return an email message from AP Sunday, and his office answering service refused to take a phone message.

The sheriff's office didn't consult the FBI or Florida Department of Law Enforcement for help searching the computer in the Anthony case, a mistake investigators have learned from, Nieves said.

Casey Anthony Trial Judge Belvin Perry Discusses Not Guilty Verdict On ‘Today’ [VIDEO]

The judge presiding over the Casey Anthony trial discussed the not-guilty verdict handed in by jurors for the first time on Monday’s “Today” show.

Judge Belvin Perry said in an interview with Savannah Guthrie he was surprised about the jury’s verdict. Perry described Anthony as a woman who was in control and was aware of what she wanted in the trial.

“There was the side that was before the jury, where she portrayed the role of a mother who had lost a child, someone who was wrongfully accused, and then you could notice the change and transformation in her when the jury went out,” Perry said.
 



 

 
Perry called Anthony “commanding” and noted, from where he sat as a judge, he could “see her sometimes scolding her attorneys.”

Perry’s “Today” interview provides an inside glimpse into what happened between Anthony and her attorneys while also discussing the course of the trial. When Anthony’s attorneys were contemplating a deal that would have Anthony plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter, Perry said he could hear Anthony yelling and cursing at her lawyers and becoming so distraught that one of her lawyers thought she may be unable to proceed with the trial.

In regard to the not-guilty verdict rendered by the jury, Perry was as shocked as the nation that followed the trial. Anthony was charged with first-degree murder for the death of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony. On July 15, 2008, Anthony’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony, reported her granddaughter was missing for 31 days and noted a suspicious smell coming from her daughter’s car.

Anthony’s attitude and disregard for her daughter’s disappearance led many to believe she had killed her daughter. Cindy reported to police that her daughter told her several stories about where Caylee was before saying she had not seen the 2-year-old for weeks. Anthony also told police several different stories about Caylee’s disappearance. Caylee’s remains were found in the woods near the family’s home, and Casey Anthony was later charged with first-degree murder.

Anthony was found not guilty of first degree murder but was found guilty for four different misdemeanors, including providing false information to police, and was released from prison in July 2011 for time served during the trial.

Perry said he was “shocked” by the verdict handed in by the jurors, saying, “There was sufficient evidence to sustain a verdict of murder in the first degree in this case.” Perry believed the prosecutors had effectively presented their case for convicting Anthony of first-degree murder but noted the circumstantial nature of the evidence against her as the main reason why she was found not guilty.
