Here is the bad news, WE ARE BAAAACK.
After several months of consideration Jan and I have decided to resurrect our 4pm eastern radio program. It was not a snap decision, although selecting tomorrow to kick it back into high gear certainly was!
The regular panel has had scant warning that we are back in action, and so it will be interesting to see who turns up. But that is the joy of live radio.
On the block tomorrow are several cases that have gleaned the interest of the public. The one in the press right now is the impending May trial of Casey Anthony. She stands accused of killing her daughter Caylee Anthony. This case has polarized not just Orlando, Florida, but the entire country.
If the antics of Casey Anthony were not enough, the stealing of checks, getting a tattoo when supposedly grieving and searching for her missing daughter Caylee were not enough, we have the rest of the circus!
Her defense team is led by two of the most obnoxious and rude lawyers I have ever encountered. Jose Baez and Channey Mason take the cake for rudeness. Jose because he is to young too understand, and Mason because he is old enough to know better!
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the US Taxpayer is footing the bill for both sides! I am still waiting for a sensible argument as to why Casey Anthony is not being represented by a public defender. To date the defence has burned its way through $275,000 of private money and $90,000 of ‘hand outs’ from the state (your tax payer dollars at work).
Of course the cynic in me might be tempted to say something along the lines.. I did not push for a speedy trial, I just want to milk the system.
One has to wonder if the technique is working. It seems to my untrained eye that ‘pro bono’ ‘expert witnesses’ are leaving the sinking ship faster than rats off a sinking ship.
I am not an expert on the law, and I could be wrong. But I was forced to take 3 years of Latin. Pro Bono means free? One definition has it as ‘giving back’. So why do ‘pro bono’ experts drop out when there is no money?
Also on the program we will be looking at some other cases.
I hope that you will join us Listen In.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWelcome back! I am so glad to hear that you are going to start addressing Casey et all again! I have missed you and all of your panel immensely.
It is an interesting time to follow this group. The pretrial hearings have been fascinating.
I am so sick of her lawyers and their b.s. that I want to go down to Florida and picket the idiots. They think Kathy Belich is annoying, wait till they see me, lol.
Yeah!!! So glad that you are coming back! I have really missed everyone that you have had on your shows. Love and best wishes to all!!
Welcome back. As far as the experts working pro bono (i.e., free), they are not *charging* money to do work on this case but the defense tried to get these experts/and some attornies (e.g., Andrea Lyon) money for costs (e.g., plane flights, hotel rooms, food while they’re in Orlando. Thus, it would COST these folks money to be involved and I guess some of them felt the free publicity was not exactly free.
Thanks for your great website!
Best,
Lili
Welcome back, Simon & Jan!

Looking forward to your show!
Glad you two are reporting on the Anthony case. Looking forward to hearing your shows and reading your articles.
Nice to have you back, hope you got the break you needed and deserved
What bad news?
OMG! This is Wonderful News!!! A lot of your ‘fans’ have missed your program and you two so so much! So glad you’re back!!!
Yipee! I got Happy Feet today 😉
Thank You, Thank You Thank You!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
Welcome back Jan and Simon!
It is good to keep the cases of all of these kids out in the public eyes. Discussing them in mature and sensible ways are good. I hope you will not get caught up in the fray and realize that some people have an agenda
I hope you enjoyed your break , it was much deserved.
Looking forward to following along.
Jan and Simon I am so glad you are back to Sunday broadcast, I have missed you! See you at 3:00.
Welcome back Jan & Simon I am so grateful for your shows always as you both have integrity along with honesty when covering a case and that is a talent! angel blessings
Welcome back. Your voice and skill have been missed.
Peter and Heather Hyatt
So good to have the voices of reason back! I’ve missed you!
Good evening Simon,an Jan.Im so happey you have decieded to start the radio program again.I look forward to your first return show,an many more.I always enjoyed listening to the prier shows.May God richly bless both of you.
I listened to the show and followed along. Could not get the box to show to type in, so couldn’t post anything.
Glad you all are back and enjoyed today.
This is the greatest news. I sure have missed you both. It will be great to have you,Jan,ACE reporter TJ Hart, Denny and Pter Hyatt back. I am sure Cobra may stop by from time to time. It about time to get the accurate, honest reporting we have not had in awhile.
I just want to comment about the Anthonys’ knowing about a nanny for 2 yrs that is not the case that was them just backing Casey up. Read Georges early interview he vaqually acknowledges a nanny but says that the baby was with them every day that Cindy took care of her. Read friends interviews and when Caylee was out with Casey her Mom would be calling evan if Cindy was watching her and Casey would leave.
I do believe that a blind eye was turned about her working because she would use the baby as blackmail. I think with the family being the way they were and how Cindy protecting her actions ever since she was little did create a monster that Cindy did not know how to change.
I am so delighted that you decided to do the radio program again. I wish you and Jan the best of luck, I love your work you are both sincere good people. But I was equally disappointed that it appears Dave Knechel will be a regular guest, so I cant bear to listen to the show. Cant you two see through him? He does not add anything at all to the show, he is an expert at nothing and furthermore the guy is really strange and not in a good way. Have you read or heard the way he abuses people. He spoils the show, and I am quite shocked that you good people are friendly with him.
Hi, Jan and Simon!
I enjoyed the show today! I am so glad you decided to do the show again.
Do you think you could have Christy Ragas as a guest real soon? I think it would be interesting to discuss Zachary Pittman’s case again and get his name out there.
If it was not for you, I would never have heard of Zachary’s case. Jan and Simon, both of you spent a lot of time on this case.
Simon even went in the trenches to get this case exposure!
Welcome back! Good show, I’ve missed the broadcasts.
I am so looking forward to listening to your blog! It sounds really interesting, and lively! I believe the minute the verdict is in, the Anthonys will hit the Media Circuits for all they are worth! Bet they have already made committments, and have plane tickets. MORE BLOOD MONEY! SUCH EVIL!
Finally! I knew ya’all would pull out, change to more worldly topics & heal from what amounts to “vested interest slander”. This Internet medium unfortunately crosses over to the power, ambition trip especially due to HLN & In Session paid fees & Resume building.
I am so BLESSED you are back for yours is unique, slow paced, witty analysis. I catch the careful innuendo, which works for those of us aware of the self-promotion of certain folk in this industry. Without you, we would never know Peter Hyatt, or even Cobra’s experience in Satsuma.
You, Jan, Heather & Peter, & of douse Denny along with some of Levi’s better Guests have kept me going through chemo for stage IV bc mets to liver & bones….serious pain needs British humor!!
Thank you for this decision, from my aching 5 am bones!!
Anyone willing to sign away a Liver donation directly to me, in case of accident, please help me in small way. Two adult children at stake & minions of family need me. I have no idea how to initiate such a drive, but impelled to mention my non-alcoholic, non Hep based cancer & great need.
REMEMBER; you & Jan, are indeed beautiful hearts& folks to me.
Also, I was in Bromleu, S London last summer listening to your shows!
@bonniez45: And if you remember George originally told LE that he was so suspicious of the ‘nanny’ that Casey claimed she had, he even asked Caylee about her. And he said that Caylee didn’t know what he was talking about.
This family KNEW she had no real nanny & they just dragged their feet about how they should deal with her gross negligence & anti-social behavior. They were resigned to putting up her sick behavior for the sake of keeping whatever peace they could. They didn’t count on her KILLING Caylee…. they forgot sociopaths have no feeling for ANYBODY.
Yipee!
Simon & Jan…. I sure missed your program every week. It was great to hear Peter, Cobra AND Dave. (Dave seems to be a nice guy in my opinion. I don’t believe all the crap spewed about him…but Dave…use a different phone….LOL)) Hope you’ll have Denny and TJ Hart back on also. You might want to think about having Pat Brown and Sheryl McCollum(?) on as a guest occasionally.Keep up the good work and welcome back. Loved the show.
I think that if it was me, a family member, or a friend that was up for trial and couldn’t pay, we would just get the Public Defender. She gets paid for private attorneys, has had three of them up until now, expert witnesses from around the country. Luckily I. my family members and friends would not commit a crime.
How about if she is convicted and is sent to prison, she would have to do hard labor for prison wages and send it to the state and/or taxpayers to repay her defense and what she has cost the Orange County Police. It would be the only job this loser ever held for any lengthy period of time.
