We will be running our regular scheduled look back at the events of the week in these two very frustrating cases.
The panel is still being worked on, but the regular members hopefully will be on hand, the Barrett’s, TJ Hart, Cobra, and Denny Griffin. In the light of the document dump in the Caylee Anthony case we are also hoping to have a special guest joining us.
The Anthony case was back in the spotlight, something like 1,500 pages of documentation were released, but little of it seems of evidentiary value. More than 600 pages concerned the ‘life and times’ of one time Casey Anthony fiancée Jesse Grund.
The one thing that is becoming abundantly clear is that Jose Baez if planning the Not Guilty by way of Juror confusion defense for Casey. This defense was successful in the original OJ Simpson double murder trial, but I can not see it working a second time. Baez looks like he is going to hammer on Jessie Grund, then when that fails, the infamous Zanny the nanny! Neither of which in most peoples mind could possibly be connected in any shape or form.
Of slightly more interest in the document dump was that The Anthony family refused to take a polygraph. This can be taken two ways, but being advised to refuse the request is hardly surprising.
Lee Anthony was deposed this week, and although little is expected from it, his attorney Thomas Luka announced that for Lee it was the end of any potential problems. As a result Luka has officially announced that he is no longer representing Lee.
The Haleigh Cummings investigation seems to lumber on at the speed of a snail. Law Enforcement are working hard, but are very unwilling to reveal their cards at this point. As we found out a couple of weeks ago though, they do take news articles very seriously. An unfortunate incident online did force them into the open, albeit briefly. It is easy to understand their reticence to share information with the press, however we are not the enemy, our ability to reach out to potential witnesses makes us a valuable tool.
Unfortunately the perceived lack of forward motion has made most news organizations seek more fertile ground, Michael Jackson’s untimely demise being the favorite. I find it macabre that dwelling on the dead is more important than hopefully bring back a very alive Haleigh Cummings.
I also know that TJ wants to mention a recent event in Gainsville. Someone made famous the saying that good news does not sell. That is wrong, TJ has the best story I have heard in months! And it most certainly does sell!
Time permitting I am also hoping to talk briefly about a new Miami case we are following. A Miami Beach PD officer Adam Tavss, managed to dispatch two unarmed citizens in the space of four days! We do have a radio program scheduled for Aug/8 and we have some pretty interesting guests, including an on the scene witness. Brother Samer Shehada was standing less than three feet from Husein Shehada, when he was shot in cold blood. You can bet your bottom dollar that this case is going to explode.
Please join us tomorrow at 3pm Central, just point your browser to www.blogtalkradio.com a couple of minutes before 3pm Central and you will see the link on the front page.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI hope your special guest is Richard Grund. I feel so badly for the Grund family.
Simon, i read your article and found it some what amusing.
You say and i quote,:I find it macbre that dwelling on the dead is more Important than hopefully bring back a very alive Haleigh:.
And yet you say you will be discussing Caylee Anthony.
Hello, she is among the deseaced. So why are you going to be reporting on her?
I for one would rather hear you discuss Haleigh.
Lets stop the MACBRE and stay focused on a very possible alive Haleigh.
Also, will you be asking cobra about the fake search and the so called evidence that was found?
Hi, Rebel!
I’ve been reading Simon and Jan’s articles for quite a while now so I feel that I “know” them in a way. And I got a different meaning from what Simon wrote than you did. The part you are referring to, I believe, is “Unfortunately the perceived lack of forward motion has made most news organizations seek more fertile ground, Michael Jackson’s untimely demise being the favorite. I find it macabre that dwelling on the dead is more important than hopefully bring back a very alive Haleigh Cummings.”
I believe he meant that news/tv etc are too busy running MJ programs and videos than “news reports” or investigations (heaven forbid) or demands for progress in the disappearance of Haleigh.
Many of us, including Jan and Simon, pray everyday that Haleigh will be found just as we did for Caylee before her remains were found. And now that they have been we are closely watching “justice in slow motion.” Because we really want to see justice served for Caylee. She got very very little out of her short life and I pray to heaven that the person responsible will pay dearly for what they did.
thank you m2c… you are exactly right on your statement.
Someone needs to be the voice for Caylee since she apparently can’t do it herself. People don’t want to have Haleigh’s name disappear into the cold case files and we don’t intend to let that happen if we have anything to say about it, but would we be any better than the other MSM by suddenly dropping Caylee for all Haleigh the way they dropped Haleigh for Michael Jackson’s death? We won’t do that and I won’t apologize for NOT forgetting about Caylee because in my prayers before her little remains were found I promised not to let that case go by unforgotten by the time her mother finally appears in court to get what she deserves and for Caylee to finally get the justice she deserves. There is plenty of room in our hearts for both of these little girls to be reporting on both.
Besides when there is nothing new happening in the case of finding Haleigh all there is to talk about is old news and then we get trashed for only talking old news. We can’t win with some of these people. We are NOT here for popularity and we never have been. We ARE here to keep these girl’s names in the news so NO ONE will ever forget them, old news, new news, or no news at all. We won’t let them be forgotten.
So PLEASE everyone keep in mind that these kids need to be remembered. I only wish we could do it for every single child that has been abused, murdered, kidnapped or sexually abused. God bless each and every one of them.
God bless you too m2c for defending us and understanding. I can assure everyone we care.
Caylee was enough for me!! it hurt real bad while she was missing the little girl touched my life in a very very dear way!…it isn’t that i do not care for precious heleigh either i pay attention to her news as well…but going through what i did with the hurt and the lies and everything against Caylee…WE all need to be there for her..cuase none of her family seem to give 2 shakes about her, all they care about is the murderess, which is possible the sickest thing i’ve seen in my whole life!!! so i will continure to bring Caylee’s memory to many along with Heileigh i just havn’t followed heleigh as much becouse i do not want my heart is it did and still does for Caylee Marie!! at least helieghs parents seem to care enough for her where Caylee’s do not!!! AND I HOPE HELEIGH IS FOUND ALIVE!!! as much as the next person!!
I may not call in but i do listen thank-you simon,and jan for keeping Caylee’s memory alive!
Bryan,,,That is JUST EXACTLY how I feel.I completely went down the same road with my feelings for Caylee. Yes I pay attention to everything about Haleigh but it’s still breaking so much for Caylee. I listened to the show again today and so appreciate Simon and Jan. I also love TJ and Cobra! I would love to hear more from Denny. Again I want to thank Simon and Jan. What would we all do without you and your care, thoughts and genuine feelings,,,please understand there are many of us who don’t want to give you all the stress about things we read everywhere about you guys. Of course you know there are alot of us who just can’t believe the things that are going on. Hang tight and fight steady for the cause.
Like some of the others commented, Caylee Anthony’s fate hurts me to this day. I often wish I had a time machine so that I could show up at just the right moment and offer Casey every dime I have to sign custody of Caylee over to me. Knowing how materialistic Casey was, she probably would have done it.
You know there is pure evil in this world, all around us when our most innocent gifts from God are being thrown away in trash bags.
I have a 2 year old baby girl who would have just adored having Caylee as a sister. Want to hear heartbreaking? My 2 year old little girl would run up to the tv & point at Caylee’s picture on the news and say “look mommy, look at the pretty baby”. And when Caylees little video would come on, my little girl would sing “you are my sunshine” along with her.
Think about this…. what kind of person does it take to go out clubbing while your daughters dead body is dragged accross a field by hungry animals? And how could there ever be justice for an act so vile as it being her own mother that left her there? Poor sweet Caylee, I am soooo sorry we didn’t come to your rescue!!
I just can imagine, what could make a mother do such a thing, what pushed her to the edge of being so evil. I wonder what is going trough her head right now that they found this little poor angel, is her guilt bigger now that it is a fact that her baby is found dead? or do she just look to the other side and ignore this like it has nothing to do with her? what would a person like this might be feeling right now. But that baby is in heaven now playing and completely out of her misery, her death like many others mark all of us with questions like why or how. She is fine now. I just can’t believe they decide to not seek the death penalty and her mother is now another burden for the hard working american we all know this is coming out of our taxes.. Shame on her.
After all this about the 2 missing kids. Casey & Misty are going to stay behind bars forever. BOO HOO HOO. Oh how sad is that?
