So there I am, I’m getting into my SUV and I turn on my satellite radio to a local station out of Orlando and Bam! There is a discussion about the Casey case. The radio host was explaining to the audience that the State of Florida just asked the judge to put off the murder case until next year or beyond and they now they just want to prosecute the bad check case first! The radio show was having this huge debate screaming how the state has no case and that Casey will walk! He said, “I’m telling you folks, Casey will walk!”

“No one,” he said, “would put off a murder prosecution for a bad check case unless they had nothing for the murder case!” Now the whole time I’m listening to this I’m driving down the road smiling. I just thought back when I started writing about this case, I was the only one anywhere who was looking at this case for how weak it is. People went nuts and jumped all over me but now here I am driving down the road listening to people on the radio saying the same damned thing I’ve been saying for months now.

The guy on the radio might have been a Johnny-come-lately for all I know but he was right. No way has anyone bumped a murder case unless they have such a crappy case and know they can’t win. They figure, “Let’s at least get her in prison on the checks, because this murder case is falling apart.”

Hell it was never a case in the first place. These nuts were trying to convict someone of a capital crime and they couldn’t even prove how someone died or who was even there. Their reach on this case has been stunning. I’m sure they will put whatever spin on it out of pride. However, there is no hiding the weakness of that legal move and if I were Casey’s lawyer I’d pounce on that. She has a right to a speedy trial and any trick, like putting the bad check case in front of the murder case, clearly is a violation of her right to a speedy trial. It looks like they put the cart in front of the horse with this entire thing.

Maybe someone should consider going out there to look for the real murderer here. There have already been reports of how the Modus Operandi here mirrored some case of these other murders surrounding some porn ring. Maybe it is time for someone in law enforcement to start from scratch and look at this case objectively. Someone should at least consider the possibility that there could be a different ‘murderer’ here.

I can’t believe no one in the state’s attorney’s office or the governor’s office has walked into the state’s attorney’s office in Orlando and asked someone there how on earth do you prosecute a murder case when you can’t even show a cause of death? I mean, really think about it. Who’s in charge? Has no one even checked a single paper? Has no one even walked into their office and asked how on earth do you prosecute somebody for murder and ask for the death penalty when you can’t even prove she was there? I mean, who’s doing the thinking down there?

What I am saying is that the state has a mountain of DNA forensic evidence that goes against them. They can’t even connect the person they’ve charged with murder and threatened with lethal injection to the remains or any of the evidence. If you as a citizen of Florida aren’t concerned about this and how your local government can go on some rampage like this, then you need your head examined. I’m gonna say this one more time. If the state is allowed to bump a murder case and put in front a bad check case they violate the defendant’s right to a speedy trial. What is amazing is that this group down in Orlando not only screws things up really badly, but they do things in such a way that they become the poster children of how not to do things.

Say what you want about my assertions, but we need a fresh, new set of eyes to look at this case.
