Hi, Simon & Jan!

Looking forward to your Radio Program this Sunday at 3 p.m.!

waiting for the new evidence and hoping it will result with the guilty parties going to jailin the cummings case.In the Anthony case I believe justice will be served.

is this a new car chase or an old car chase?
I’m confused

OJ’s Glove: LOL! It does sound familiar doesn’t it? It will end similarly as well, I think. Much ado about nothing or some set-up.

I can’t wait. We’ve been debating back and forth so much on the 911 & New Info threads that I think a couple of us need to persue a law degree cause man, can we all argue a case!
We’ve been “hashing out” the details and each side had been represented. No matter where you stand on this incident, there is very good info there. I’m even thinking of actually calling in this week! I’m not working on Sunday, finally!

Paws69, my feelings exactly. Much ado about nothing. We’ve had a pacifier shoved in our mouths. Won’t work. Mine dinged the wall after reading the first sentence of their news release.

To me its not too out on a limb that PCSO has new info, alot of people have been in and out of jail recently and I am sure they were all questioned. That maybe where all this new info came from. Tommy, Hank, and several of the families relatives have passed through LE.jmo

Just another hour and a 1/2…..

PAW69, I would put my bet on it’s just “smack” talk - what else have they ever done??

I also find it odd that Crystal is just now coming up and saying it’s been too long. Why didn’t she say something months ago? I feel TN has been the one not only talking for herself, but also for Ron. Marie and Chrystal haven’t said anything until now. Why wait so long to open their mouths?

Teresa has been the only one who has acted responcible in this bunch. She doesnt get into trouble, does interviews, pleads always for Haleighs safe return, and has not givin up.
I wished her son would act his age and try to stay out of trouble and find his child. He may be torn up over this but he needs to remember Haleigh should come first in his life. jmo

PAW69 I think you solved this case long ago. I really do. You were right but everyone wants to go in every other direction.

WinterRose, who is Hope? who is Sarah? TIA

Thank you Vaquera!!

Dispatch asked if Charles has any guns?LOL Screenshot his myspace pics.pfffttt!

My thoughts/questions… on the harassing calls

Where is Misty’s home/living with whom?
Ronnie charged with what?
Why is Misty always the one that has to file charges… cause it’s her phone!?! The main threats were against Ron.

I think that there was something more going on with Misty/CJ. He sounds like a jilted lover.

Why in the world would Misty go and live with someone who has close ties to the other side’s family, besides her reason of having no where to live?… especially with the shank threat.

And why would they take her in?? I don’t think it was because they felt sorry for her.

I was watching the chat,Wayanne K said she met Charles and he kept going back and forth RC’s tent,she should tell LE that.So,he was watching RC right after HaLeigh went missing and they were at the tents?

Bad boys,bad boys,whatcha gonna do…..

There were a couple of things that bothered me about Misti’s interview with Levi.

One is that she admitted that she stayed with CJ and his family, but yet Ron had to tell her where he lived on the 911 call that she made?

Two, I would like to hear BOTH calls in their entirety. I don’t think that we heard all of both calls.

Three, and this has been brought up elsewhere as well, the only way that LE could know for certain if there was a gun in Ron’s truck the night that this “road incident” happened would have been to have pulled him over and searched the truck.

To me, it sounded as if the phone calls that Misti played for Levi’s show were done after the road incident because of CJ’s father stating that he wanted to talk to Ron about pulling a gun on his son.

There is also the issue that Misti doesn’t know what the problem is between CJ and Ron, after all she has only known CJ and his family for a few months.

“So, maybe cj lied about the cop being there?”

Misty also mentions the cop on the side of the road in her call.

mlee, you can go to blog talk radio and pull up Levi’s interview with Misty and hear the show now if you want to. Just FYI

Yes, I think CJ had a gun and was wanting the operator give him permission to shoot Ron with it.

m2c note: What cop told CJ - and when did he tell him - that “it’s concealed so that it’s legal?” Very strange)

CJ - 2:20 “If he tries to shoot me and I shoot him will I go to prison for shooting him?

(That gives me the impression that CJ has a gun with him.)

I’m in total Total agreement!

Here are some of Kim Picasso’s exact statements about her Client Crystal Sheffield, the mother of missing child Haleigh Cummings. The entire transcript can be found on the Art Harris website. A link is posted at the bottom of these quotes of the exact words of Crystal Sheffield’s lawyer Kim Picazio.
Kim Picazio on Crystal Sheffield, Marie Griffis and where their focus was in the time Haleigh Cummings had just gone missing.
In fact, days before the child went missing, Crystal had been served with a Motion for Contempt and a notice to appear in court for failure to pay child support to the custodial parent. Crystal had paid less than one thousand dollars ($1.000) of her child support
obligation since 2005. Of course, in the initial months of Haleigh’s disappearance, the last thing that I thought was appropriate would be to seek a modification of child support based on the fact that one child had been abducted. At all times, Marie Griffis felt we should file a court action lowering the amount Crystal was to pay to Ronald Cummings for support. Such an action was, in my opinion, highly inappropriate while investigators were still actively seeking to find little Haleigh and 0bring her home safely.
They (Crystal and her family) firmly believed that the family’s telephones and homes were being wire tapped, and that they were under surveillance by authorities, the media, and the Cummings family. The picture that was initially presented to me upon my entry into the case was much different than what I later learned to be factually true Marie Griffis. Marie was at all times outspoken, demanding, and extremely controlling of Crystal. She insisted that certain aspects of the case be divulged to the media. Mostly, this information related to negative rumors about Ronald Cummings. I learned that Marie Griffis had already begun a rather formal and publicized campaign for donations for her family. When I first arrived in Satsuma, I noted a handwritten poster at the family’s Haleigh Tent advertising a raffle for a Ford Expedition to take place on March 16, 2009. Further, the family and their friends had organized charity events in Haleigh’s honor at local businesses, set out donation jugs in town and at the tent, ordered tee shirts, pins and other trinkets with Haleigh’s picture and information displayed, and were selling these items for a profit to locals and tourists. All proceeds were, at that juncture, unaccounted for to my knowledge, and were being spent as they came in by the Crystal and Marie Griffis.By early May, 2009, I was informed by Marie that all funds from donations had been spent by the family Marie Griffis expressed her desire to form a nonprofit organization to seek donations from the public. I became aware that Marie had already been in negotiations with a concert promoter to hold a concert event to honor Haleigh, and to gain contributions and funds. . Ihighly disagreed with such organized efforts to raise money in the name of the search for Haleigh Cummings. Crystal and Marie never funded one searvh for Haleigh Cummings and paid NONE of the costs of the Haleighbug Center. Kim Picazio paid for the Haleighbug Center. Crystal and Marie kept all the money for the “searches” Crystal’s seeking of donations was insidious, and was an attempt to make a living off her own missing child

Kim Picazio on Crystal Sheffield and the custody issues with Ron Cummings over Junior and Haleigh Cummings.
Upon reviewing the court file, I found that my client had not been completely honest with me regarding her involvement in the Paternity proceedings of 2005. Affidavit of Service of
the original Petition for to Establish Paternity, personally served on Crystal Sheffield. Crystal then missed the Final Hearing.I realized that I had not been given thorough or accurate information regarding the procedural history of the paternity action. The procedures followed by the Court were standard. Crystal had had her day in Court, and had lost – fair and square. Crystal and her family, in an effort to raise her public image, had told numerous media outlets that the only reason that she did not have custody of her children was that she was not served with court papers, and had lost custody by default. Also, she claimed on national television that Ronald had kidnapped the children, and that his family, through their collusion and “connections” in the courthouse, made sure that Ronald retained custody of the children. This claim was simply untrue, and I was wholly unwilling to corroborate their previous version of the court file. I spent numerous meetings with Crystal and her mother, explaining that I could not attest facts that were untrue to the media, or to anyone else. At that time,I believe that a wedge began to form between Marie Griffis and I.
Kim Picasso on Crystal Sheffield and her drug abuse issues.
Crystal’s former private investigator William Staubs entered into a contract for investigative work with Crystal’s Father, Johnny Sheffield. Surprisingly, Crystal’s own father began doing interviews with avant guard media forums claiming that Crystal had a present drug problem, and was in need of rehabilitation. ,
Crystal Sheffield suffered a seizure while driving her vehicle with her infant daughter
in the car. Upon learning of the car accident, I was then informed by Crystal’s fiancé
for the first time that Crystal had been previously instructed not to drive her vehicle by her
primary care physician, as she had suffered seizures in the past. Unbeknownst to me, Crystal’s father had come upon the scene of her car accident to assist his daughter. Crystal’s Father has allegedly executed a sworn affidavit stating that when he came upon the scene of the accident, Crystal admitted to being on prescription pain medication (unprescribed), and gave her father the pills to hide from the police who were on their way to the accident site
The Department of Children and Families became aware of the allegations of drug use by Crystal. DCF requested a random toxicology test of Crystal Sheffield, during the course of their investigation, as they found it relevant to investigate Crystal’s fitness as a parent.
At that time, in June 2009, I learned from DCF that Crystal’s infant daughter, Chloe,
not even one (1) year of age, had been born with illegal narcotics in her system due to
Crystal’s drug use during her pregnancy. .
I felt as if I was only being told relevant information by the family, after a fiasco
had occurred. I could not represent a client who was not being honest with me, and was
taking illegal drugs. To make matters worse, In April 2009, Crystal admitted to me that
she had taken unprescribed pain medication. Further, her mother, Marie Griffis, reported
to me that Crystal had stolen her step-father’s pain medication after he had surgery in April.
There was evidence of her recent drug use and driving while under the influence of unprescribed pain medication. Further, her own Father had strongly represented to the media that he would testify that she was not fit to care for her children, due to her consistent drug use.
Despite Marie Griffis demanding I file a modification proceeding to seek custody of Crystal’s son in Ronald Cummings’ care, I was not willing to lie to the Court, and I did not feel that such an action would be successful. Marie Griffis became increasingly angered at my hesitancy to file a court action
for a change of custody. In good faith,was simply not willing to file such a pleading,
knowing my client was using drugs.,I informed Crystal and Marie on several occasions
of my recommendations and my opinions, but it was met with anger and frustration. There were many times that I requested private meetings with my client alone, as otherwise, her mother would insert her own feelings and demands on me and the case strategy, leaving Crystal’s feelings and desires unheard and discarded.

Kim Picazio On Crystal Sheffield and her involvement with her children Junior and Haleigh Cummings.
Crystal had never complained about her complete lack of involvement in her children’s lives since 2005. She did not attend doctors or dentist appointments, or even know who their medical care providers were. She did not ever visit the children during the week, even though her Final Judgment provided that the alternating weekends were a minimum visitation schedule, and permitted her to see the children duringthe week upon notice. Crystal did not speak with her children over the telephone during the week, and her only contact with them was roughly four (4) days per month on alternating weekends. Crystal had not been involved in Haleigh’s school, school functions, and did not even know what school Ronald, Jr. would be attending in the Fall of 2009.
Kim Picazio on Crystal Sheffield and the police investigation.
Although I gave specific recommendations and guidance to Crystal to call the Sheriff’s
Office once per week to check on the status of Haleigh’s case, she failed to do so.
I do not believe she called the Sheriff’s Office for a status report on a single occasion
during my representation.
It was my understanding that Crystal was not a prime suspect in the case.
I attempted to persuade the family that we needed to heed the directives of law enforcement. Unfortunately, my recommendations were met with great resistance and anger by Marie Griffis

This was due to the fact that their animosity toward Ronald Cummings had previously resulted in family members and friends erupting to reporters, cursing, and present as vindictive. Such public animosity and unbridled blame did not serve Crystal’s interests, or make good impressions on the law enforcement team that were investigating Haleigh’s disappearance.

listening, it seems to me that LE has not taken one step outside the “scope” of “Misty did it” or “Misty is the key.” So if they’re right they haven’t gotten anywhere and if they’re wrong it looks like they haven’t even begun to investigate any other possibility.

So what would be the motive for Chrystal to abduct or murder? To get even with Ron? was there a life insurance policy for Haleigh cumin’s? I have not read anything about life insurance.
P.S happy father’s day to allPapa bloggers.
