I have been looking around the web at blogs this weekend and came up with this question. What Polarizes Bloggers on High Profile Cases from Anna Nicole Smith to Haleigh Cummings and Caylee Anthony?
There seems to be few out there with an open mind to follow the legal paperwork, let Google be your friend and make up your own mind of what is the truth for you; or has that been done already?
Whether it is Anna Nicole Smith with the pro Howard K. Stern bloggers on TMZ.com or the Virgie Arthur bloggers on Topix.net, few seem to be open about either side. It has become a hate festival with each side bashing the other and when Court papers come out reading through them and declaring a victory for “their side”…
I have now went out and done the same with bloggers on Haleigh Cummings and Caylee Anthony and found them just as divided and polarized with few bloggers still open to facts. For instance in the Caylee Anthony investigation we now have the 5 inch piece of brown hair found that DNA cannot match it to Caylee Anthony, her mother Casey Anthony, the Anthony family and even the crime scene investigators. I would think this would cause many to back up and take a second look, who does that hair belong to? Added to that you have the FBI lab contaminating the duct tape so any evidence on that is now useless. However with all those new revelations in the past week has any blogger decided to back up and take a second look? If so I cannot find them. They spin it to their side and bash the other side or even those still open minded for being dumb or having an agenda.
Then you have Haleigh Cummings, a case that has been spun out of control by Infotainment “News” as the newest hot story. We see the same players, Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera and Nancy Grace, each competing for the “bombshell or exclusive only here”, but what they talk about is all over the news by the time they come on at night. So there is neither new evidence, an exclusive and/or a bombshell, only bottom line ratings. We are now seeing lawyers in that case, like the Casey Anthony case; beginning to remove themselves from these cases or have bar complaints and then the defense of the lawyers and not the case becomes the focal point.
In Anthony’s case it is Jose Baez for Casey Anthony being reported by the D. A. with what seems to be ongoing never ending complaints against Jose Baez. In the Cummings case we have a lawyer now saying that because in the beginning things were going so bad that, Kim Picazio the attorney for Haleigh’s mother, Crystal Sheffield, had a media consultant who assisted Crystal Sheffield and the legal team, lending their expertise and advice on the strategic placement and release of information to turn around the negative press Crystal Sheffield was receiving. Crystal Sheffield and Kim Picazio spent a great deal of time with their media consultant. “The release of information, or breaking news, in a high media case, must be preplanned, time-sensitive, and intentional,” said Ms. Picazio. Ms. Kim L. Picazio is out of the Haleigh Cummings case and has been cleared by the Florida State Bar of any wrongdoing.
We have seen a lot of that here at Rose Speaks.com in relations to all cases connected to Anna Nicole Smith and I still find it a phenomenal situation with the new instant news of celebrity or high profile cases on the internet.
In public filings by Ms. Picazio she gives her insight about the lawyer turned media spokesperson for a family member in one of these cases saying; “As the spokesperson for Crystal Sheffield, the release of positive information to the public, whether on the internet, or to other media sources, in furtherance her best interest or desired results. …
…The very nature of the role of a “media spokesperson” is different in kind than most other roles customarily served by an attorney. It requires the disclosure of information customarily thought of as “off limits” to the public and/or your opponents. This job requires more than showing up at media interviews. It requires complex strategy, intelligent calculation, finding and maintaining inside sources for information, and trusted contacts who can be your eyes and ears for the “feel” of the public. Damning information about a client that is swirled around the Internet will surely be aired in national headlines, and can devastate your client’s image, credibility, case or cause. Disclosures of information are aimed at directing, it was imperative that we kept key contacts in law enforcement, the community, the media, as well as on the internet, to properly counter many unflattering stories which could have destroyed Crystal’s credibility and chances of ever having custody of her children. Quite simply, guiding, directing and dodging the release of information from your client’s detractors, is an intensely calculated process in a high media case. The parties were involved in a high media tragedy, and “fault” and “blame” for the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings is still being discussed nationwide. Disclosures of this nature were done in the obvious effort to steer suspicions away from her as a suspect in her daughter’s disappearance, raise her public image, and gain an advantage in the very public custody issues that were being televised each day on the news.”
[These] “cases have created a nationwide obsession, and it continues to be a prime topic in local and national news, and internet crime news sites.”
Ms Picazio goes on to say; “The internet is essentially where a growing number of the general public gets their news every day. I received thousands of emails from the public commenting on the Crystal Sheffield/Haleigh Cummings matter, some of which even told me how to better put on my make-up. The public sent tips, leads, support, well-wishes and sometimes screaming insults, my way.”
Then Ms. Picazio addresses the new phenomena of internet bloggers saying; “… [That both Ms. Picazio and] Crystal Sheffield, have suffered libelous attacks on their reputations by internet bloggers, and avant guard journalists.” [You have to] “always attempt to protect your client from these types of self-serving intruders who would befriend the family, or members of the legal team, only to be secretly feeding a hidden agenda for fame, fortune, or the notoriety. From the inception of the Haleigh Cummings case, scheming bloggers have sought the coveted “inside scoop”, attempting to befriend family members, journalists, and law enforcement officers.”
[Lawyers now] “have to have sophisticated computer equipment installed, and often staff member will “catch” fishing expeditions from bloggers attempting to get an email back from the legal team/spokesperson. Emails are easily edited, and on many occasions, you will catch these schemes as they were being planned in chat rooms dedicated to the Haleigh case.”
… “Insidious bloggers can be devastating to a client in modern-day high media cases.”
Ms Picazio finishes her thoughts on bloggers by saying; “Often fanatical about missing children’s cases, bloggers spend countless hours “sleuthing” information about all people connected to the case, call and write to authorities with rumors for false tips, and try to become personally close with insiders or family members involved in the case. The most coveted information source for a blogger is to obtain insider information directly from a family member in a case. Unfortunately, the Crystal Sheffield/Haleigh Cummings matter is a prime example of the intrusion and disruption caused by modern-day, fanatical bloggers, who go to great lengths for an “inside scoop” in high media cases. The internet and manipulative bloggers was, and remains, a hurdle to contend with in the Haleigh Cummings case by all involved. There have been countless news articles on the subject of the internet frenzy that plagues the Haleigh case and investigators. The Haleigh Cummings case is the most active criminal investigation blogged about on the internet to date, other than the Caylee Anthony matter. Although I was surely not obsessed with blogging, the internet frenzy was a very real fact and hazard that existed in the case.”
I found Ms. Picazio thoughts expressed to the Florida State Bar something to ponder. Is this the new typical “blogger”? As you know we have had bloggers cross state lines to take pictures of our home just because. We have read where bloggers where doing screen shots or even sending things from Rose Speaks.com to lawyers in the Anna Nicole Smith cases only to find out later from the lawyers, they would never use something obtained in that way. So are bloggers the next step in reporting news or are bloggers angry people who take out that anger towards the world behind the safety of a computer screen in these high profile cases? Do we all need to “own our words”?
NEWEST PAPERS FILED IN CASES WE ARE FOLLOWING:
April 26, 2010 Notice of Hearing for the Motion for Continuance set in Harris County for May 7, 2010 at 11:30 A. M.

New questions that we posed first here on Rose Speaks.com have finally come to light in filings on Thursday, November 19, 2009.
Roy Kronk, an ex-meter reader now, is said to have been very abusive to all three of his ex-wives and used duct tape on at least one of his ex-wives, Jill Kerley.
Kronk began his deposition on Thursday and late that afternoon the Motion, Memorandum of Law and a stunningly large amount of evidence against Kronk was filed by Casey Anthony’s defense team.
We here at Rose Speaks.com have always had questions about Kronk but investigators hang on to the fact that Kronk was “cleared by them and was a hero”. Remember it was Kronk who called 911 three times in August 2008, saying he saw something suspicious in the woods off Suburban Drive. When police did not pick up what is now being said was Kronk allegedly wanting the police to find Caylee’s body in August and when they did not, Kronk went back in December and found the body himself at the same place he said it was in August.
Roy Kronk’s son, Brandon, perhaps dropped the largest and most chilling bombshell against his father. Brandon’s mother said Kronk told Brandon two weeks before Thanksgiving and one month before making what is known as his forth visit to the scene where Caylee’s decomposed body was found, that “he, [Kronk], was going to be a hero on TV,” saying to his son Brandon” I know where Caylee is and I’m going to go get her.”
One of Roy Kronk’s ex-wives, Jill Kerley, who said they divorced after only four months, had the following exchange on a taped interview with Casey’s investigator, Mort Smith, which was released yesterday to the media.
Mort Smith: “When you learned Roy had found Caylee’s remains what went through your mind?”
Jill Kerley: “That he had done it”
Mort Smith: “Meaning?”
Jill Kerley: “He probably was the one who murdered Caylee Anthony or had something to do with it.”
.
Jill Kerly went on to say; “It was abusive — mentally and physically, he beat me up in front of his dad and I had to go the hospital. “The more I think about it, the more my gut tells me he had something to do with it,” Kerley said, “He, [Kronk], duct taped my hands one time.”
Jill Kerley: “He said it was 100 mph duct tape”
Mort Smith: “And how often did he duct tape you?”
Jill Kerley: “On two occasions.”
Crystal Sparks, another of Roy Kronk’s ex-wives, and the mother of Brandon, had this exchange with Casey’s investigator, Mort Smith. “I think there’s a lot of concern for Roy being around young girls. Roy is not heard from. Roy is not seen. Roy is just non-existent in our lives, which is great for us. He made threats. He made constant threats against me. It was not uncommon for him to say ‘I should have killed you when I had the chance.’ I heard that all the time.”
Casey Anthony’s attorneys are clearly trying to connect Kronk to duct tape found at the crime scene with Caylee’s remains. They further indicate in the Motion, Memorandum of Law and other evidence presented to the Court on Thursday, that Roy Kronk, “knew of the location of Caylee Anthony’s remains and indeed may have had possession or control of them in November 2008 Roy Kronk, and not Miss Anthony, is equally likely to be responsible for the death of Caylee Anthony.”
April Applegate Hensley who was 11 at the time her mother lived with Kronk has said he came into her bedroom to watch her undress and made her feel uneasy, in her interview with the investigators. No word yet on what the third ex-wife said, or if that interview was filed with Thursday’s Motion. Other highlights of the Motion filed on Thursday by Casey’s defense team says; “they have evidence Kronk has a possible history of inappropriate behavior with young girls; that he has used duct tape to restrain women and that he has a history of abusing and restraining women”.
David Evans, Kronk’s lawyer said after the first day of deposition with Kronk when asked; “Is there a suggestion that somehow your client is involved in Caylee Anthony’s death? No, no, no, no,” was Evans Answer.
After hearing about the Motion being filed by Anthony’s legal team, Kronk’s attorney David Evans issued a statement:
“Today, the Casey Anthony defense team commenced, but did not complete, the deposition of Roy Kronk in the State v. Casey Anthony case. Shortly after adjourning the deposition, the Anthony defense team filed a Motion, Memorandum of Law, and accompanying materials suggesting that Roy Kronk, the individual who found Caylee Anthony’s remains and repeatedly reported his find to law enforcement agencies, should be considered a suspect in the murder of Caylee Anthony.
Mr. Kronk is a witness, not a suspect. He voluntarily appeared today and truthfully responded to all questions asked by Anthony’s attorney. He has cooperated fully with law enforcement from Day One. He has nothing to hide, and has hidden nothing.
It is the nature of criminal defense to attempt to find someone to blame for a crime other than the person charged. Mr. Kronk has understood from the beginning that the defense might attempt to cast suspicions in his direction–because that’s what defense attorneys do. In their zeal to defend Casey Anthony, defense counsel has filed papers with the Court that are filled with allegations that have no basis in fact and falsely accuse Mr. Kronk of various types of bad behavior.
The State will respond to these papers in due course in the criminal proceedings. As for Mr. Kronk, he vehemently denies the allegations against him and is confident that he will be vindicated. In the meantime, as he stated early on in this case, no good deed goes unpunished.”
Do you agree this is an explosive development in the Caylee Anthony murder case? Do you think the police was too quick to say Kronk was not a suspect but was a hero? Why did Kronk continue to go back to the exact same spot to call police all four times? Is Brandon and what his dad told him going to become a major development in this case? Did obsessive Infotainment News like Nancy Grace, Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteren all for ratings and advertising dollars cause the wrong person to be arrested? Will Roy Kronk show up for the rest of his deposition? Does Roy Kronk in your opinion need to keep a lawyer during depositions and interviews? What are the Las Vegas odds on Kronk going to the same place four times in five months, and find the remains of little Caylee on the fourth visit? Why was Roy Kronk fired?
Rose Speaks.com is in the process of putting up more interviews and documents as they become available and will keep them on the site until after this is over, whoever ends up going to trial. Remember to also visit Rose Speaks You tube channel for videos related to this case.

Howard K. Stern has moved up his arraignment date to April 7, the same day as Dr. Khristine Eroshevich is scheduled to be arraigned. This is good news, in my opinion, as the two defense teams might be able to help each other prepare and go through all of the evidence Danny Santiago and unnamed investigators accumulated in just a tad over two years including the lists and statements of everyone Mr. Santiago and/or others interviewed.
Then there will be the preliminary hearing within 10 court days to “show probable cause”, (since this was a Warrant and not a grand jury indictment the defense teams get a lot more lead way in the preliminary hearing), which will be on or no later than April 22. This hearing must not be later than ten court days after the arraignment per California statute.
The prosecutor must prove all charges and conduct enhancements against the defendants at the preliminary hearing. Howard K. Stern’s legal team, led by Steven H. Sadow of Atlanta Georgia, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, will get to cross examine any witnesses and challenge the evidence against either of them at this hearing. The defense team can also file motions to suppress evidence against either of them, remember after the April 7 hearing will be the first time either defendants’ defense team will be granted full access to all of the evidence. However at the preliminary hearing both defendants’ legal team are restricted by Penal Code section 866. The legal teams are only allowed to put on evidence that will establish an affirmative defense, negate an element of the crime charged (I. E. intent for a crime as is charged in this case), and they will also be allowed to impeach the testimony of witnesses.
If the judge determines that the prosecution has presented sufficient evidence to hold both Stern and Dr. Eroshevich, the threshold is not like that at a trial it is much lower for the judge, for trial, following the arraignment and preliminary hearing the judges in California criminal courts normally will then order both to appear for a “second arraignment” on a charging document known as an “information.” That arraignment must occur within 15 days of the conclusion of their preliminary hearing which would be on or before May 7.
Stern and Dr. Eroshevich can ask for a “speedy trial”, which must begin within 60 calendar days from the second arraignment date “document of information hearing”, which would be by July 7, 2009.
It seems to me both want to get this started so their defense teams with their investigators, we don’t know the names of Stern’s investigators, but Dr. Eroshevich’s investigators will be headed up by John J. Nazarian P. I. and his firm Nazarian and Associates, can begin to research the witnesses, interview them, find out who all the state investigators (Danny Santiago) has talked to and all records looked at that were included in the sworn statement of Mr. Santiago used when obtaining the warrants for arrests issued on March 12.
In other news Howard K. Stern won his hearing against Mark Speer on Friday March 27, and so that defamation case is going forward with discovery beginning now. I would think this hearing and beating the “anti slapp” statute of California is a big win and will strengthen Stern’s suit against Rita Cosby and Hachette Books.
It looks like it is going to be a busy spring and summer. We have new Casey Anthony papers up as well including the transcript of the interview with the private investigator, Dominic Casey whom worked for the George and Cindy Anthony family. There are the statements of Roy Kronk and Mr. Hoover the photographer that was in the area and filmed Mr. Casey in November 2008 in the same location where Caylee’s remains were later found. We will try to have all of these coded for you to download later today.
There are also new filings in the Roland Carnaby case that needs to be coded in and then you can look at some of the people listed as witnesses in the civil rights violation trial including the ex-president, the first President Bush.
Lastly, we are waiting on the Phil Spector trial verdict as well, that case was given to the jury on March 26, and we look forward to Sprocket’s coverage of the verdict when it comes in.
Lot’s of papers to read and lots of trials to follow. We look forward to your input on these cases with good discussions of the facts and documents.

In what is becoming more of a how she looks and acts versus the evidence or lack thereof, it gives us all time to pause and wonder why? Is Casey Anthony going to be convicted because the public does not like her?
The duct tape had no finger prints, and hundreds of thousands of homes has the same brand of duct tape, perhaps including your home. The only matching duct tape found at the Anthony’s home was a small piece on a can of gasoline in an outside shed. My husband tells me this is very common in most of our homes especially because you mix oil with gasoline for almost anything you use in the yard, from lawn mowers, to weed eaters to chain saws, but if you put that same combination of mixture in your car, there would be a serious problem. So does that one strip of duct tape added to no finger prints on the duct tape surrounding this poor child skull equate to murder?
Then you have the air analysis on the car, the first place it was sent to in Florida, that the Sheriff’s department picked came back negative. Not to be deterred the Orange county Sheriff’s department sent a sample to the Tennessee body farm where the ORNL is located nearby, which trains law enforcement and almost always testifies for the prosecution and never for a defendant found something, or did they? Viola, you have a report of decomposition in the car! However even the body farm says it is better stated as “It Could be that”. Something most scientists are now referring to “junk science”, [full press release], but because we don’t like how Casey Anthony looks and acts is that enough to convict her of murder?
There is now the infamous unfeeling June 21st entry in Casey’s diary, nothing but a cold blooded parent could have written that just days after their daughter had disappeared but that ends up not being 2008 but from a 2003 Diary entry. By the way who leaked that to the media and why did Nancy Grace cover that up from her viewers at first? So is the diary entry now proved bogus enough to convict Casey Anthony or will she be convicted because she did not act right and we don’t like her looks?
Roy Kronk, not exactly the hero we all thought he was when we found out he is a dead beat dad, being looked for by the Maryland state child support enforcement agency. Kronk turned over $5,000.00 of the $7,000.00 allegedly paid to him by ABC for the rattlesnake picture and says that Maryland can garnish his wages in Florida for the rest of the over $10,000.00 he still owes his children. With Roy Kronk we have the new facts that the first two times he called in the black bag with the white “skull” or something that looked like a human skull, he was with two friends, fellow workers with him when he made the “gruesome discovery”. Roy Kronk made this discovery of the black bag with the skull on his first day on that particular route. Per the Orange County Sheriff report dated February 5, these three guys were even talking on that 11th day of August 2008 about where would Casey dumped the body of her daughter. Roy admits “he and his friends were talking about the theory of where Casey may have disposed of Caylee since this was a high profile news story and they were around the corner from the Anthony’s residence.” Kronk did not say, “Could a missing child be in those woods”, it was did “Casey disposed of her daughter, Caylee Anthony’s remains” from day one, it appears by Kronk’s statements. Roy Kronk became fascinated with the black bag and the human skull. Two of his fellow meter readers were with him, see page 7-9 on report of the interviews], one remembers Roy pointing out the black bag and saying “Hey look there is a human skull there”, but that man did not see the black bag and the skull that Roy was pointing to and after they found and killed the rattlesnake, the snake became the focus of these three guys conversation and the human skull and the black bag was forgotten over the excitement of a rattlesnake. One of the guys took it, the now dead rattlesnake, home and put it in the freezer. Neither of them remembers Roy Kronk calling the sheriff’s office both days. You would think a black bag with a human skull in plain site might have the possibility that it would stick in your mind if your fellow worker thought it was serious enough to make three reports on it in three consecutive days. Perhaps though the trophy of a rattlesnake was more important then the black bag that Roy could see with what looked like a human skull. On the third call Kronk was alone, and a sheriff’s deputy came out and spent 25 minutes talking to Kronk and walking the area of the black bag with the human skull visible to Roy, but saw nothing and noted that the area had been previously searched and “cleared”. That deputy has now been reassigned.
Thank God Roy Kronk would not be deterred from the nagging black bag with the human skull and so he went back on December 11 for a fourth time and found the remains of Caylee Anthony exactly and unmoved from where he first viewed the black bag with the skull on August 11. Roy Kronk found what no search team, no homeless person sleeping there during the many months it was dry before and after Caylee Anthony disappeared, nor the kids that use that area as a well known “party place”.
How much more those remains could have told the Medical Examiner in August then they could in December. Oh and in case you didn’t read the documents Kronk at first if you remember said he picked up the black bag or poked it with a meter reader stick and out falling to the ground was the gruesome skull, only that is not quite what happened. The sheriff’s department had to go back to interview Kronk and “straighten up his faulty memory” because there was no way that skull rolled out of that black bag on that December day as Roy recounted many times, why you ask, because it had made an indention on the dirt where it had laid. Wonder if Kronk will be called as a witness now? However, back to our questions, we like Kronk so a couple of lies from him is no big deal, right, but we don’t like the way Casey Anthony looks or how she acts so will we convict her?
Most of us learned along the way about the “black prince” as Court TV nicknamed Howard K. Stern, he did not look right, people didn’t like the way he looked or acted so he had to be guilty of something right? We all know by now that all Howard K. Stern was and will ever be found guilty of is useful fodder for cable 24/7 “infotainment” passed off as cable news. Just one more life ruined for the advertising dollar and the ratings game. Sadly the Anna Nicole Smith story is old news, I sincerely hope that Howard K. Stern takes Rita Cosby all the way to trial, it will never give him his good name back but it will lay bare the naked truth for all of those who labeled him because they just did not like how he looks and the world might learn a tad more about 24 hours “infotainment” passed off as cable news.
However, Howard K. Stern is last year’s bottom line fodder for these hungry sharks that spin they have the truth every night for nothing more than mere advertising dollars and ratings so it is time for “them” to move on and put Casey Anthony under that same microscope of that same infotainment cable news.
I have no way of knowing if Casey Anthony is innocent of her child’s death or not, but I know she has been convicted and made ready for a public hanging for no more then ratings. Will we convict her because we don’t like the way she looks or acts? However, like rabid frothing dogs or people demanding a kill at Rome’s Coliseum from thousands of years ago, can we change and look beyond what is fed us for ratings? God I hope so.
Visit the Rose Speaks tube tube channel and watch again ALL of the videos about the Anthony case and think real hard might she be convicted not on facts, but by a public so fed infotainment that we simply do not like the way she looks or acts?
Pick up the papers on the Casey Anthony case in our download section, broken down in sections and interviews in easier to understand pieces we hope. The download section is opened to All not just members of Rose Speaks.com. Please take the time to do your own research and don’t bite the apple of the infotainment industry, they views lives as expendable for ratings.

In the ever swirling of tabloid infotainment passed off as news, did Casey Anthony murder her child, Caylee Anthony? We are going to be looking at some hard evidence from the FBI and the CSI about what was found and what it means.
As Geraldo says, the jail house videos are a disgraced and a way to try to get around having Casey Anthony’s lawyer present, yes I am agreeing with Geraldo again.
Greta Van Susteren goes through the crime scene AGAIN, on her show Greta – On the Record, but recorded information via documented reports shows that spot was searched in detail at least 7-9 times before the remains were found. Why did no one spot them then and retrieve them before more evidence could be lost?
Greta Van Susteren interviews both Dr. Baden and Mark Fuhrman about the case and why if the bag had been there since June 2008 were all of the remains and other items still intact. Greta brings out that there are rodents, raccoons, etc. all which creates havoc for people who have their garbage in air tight bags and in a trash can that is sealed and still raccoons get into the trash and spread it in the neighborhood. I don’t watch Greta but her walk through the area and the interviews with the questions is something I hope we see more of in the twenty hour infotainment passed as news.
Casey Anthony’s legal teams have some words about how the case is being handled. My question is if the D. A. has a tight sure thing circumstantial evidence case then why try it in the media knowing they are tainting a jury pool, not only from anywhere in Florida but anywhere in the U. S.?
Later today there will be a new article up debunking the myths of the talking pundits with the actual FBI and CSI reports. They paint a much different picture then what is being spun in the infotainment world. Some of the hints we will have documented statements that question these reasoning, involves Casey Anthony’s car and the evidence showing a decomposing body was in the trunk; the duct tape found around the skull and at the home of George and Cindy Anthony’s home; the diary entry claiming to be Casey’s and dated right after the disappearance of Caylee Anthony; and the heart found on the duct tape and in the home of the Anthony’s. We try to deal in facts here not spin.
We are loading the latest FBI and CSI reports to day so we can make reference to them in our next article; we feel you might be surprised between what is hype and what is factual.
It is great to have a site with intelligent bloggers who will look at the hard evidence and then comment and not follow the “sheep mentality crowd” whom never research but just assume that infotainment is the truth. The ole if it is on Nancy Grace, Geraldo or Greta then it must be true. We have all learned the fallacy of that by following the attempted lynching of Howard K. Stern.
Stay tuned for two more articles today, both debunking cases that have taken on lives of their own in the world of ratings equal advertising dollars equals talking pundits on infotainment spreading their word as the absolute truth.
We will also have another article on the filings by Howard K. Stern with more of the excerpts of the deposition of the four filed in error for nine hours by Rita Cosby’s attorney, Elizabeth McNamara.
Remember the documents relating to the Casey Anthony case is opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
Rose Speaks.com also now has it’s own you tube channel be sure and visit it for videos on a lot of the cases we cover, that old saying a picture is worth a thousand words. We try to bring you the pictures, documents and words.

We are currently following the Casey Anthony Case, Roland Carnaby Case, and the Stern vs. Cosby case. If there is something you want us to look at please let us know. If you want to make notes on any of these cases and send them to us to go in an article that would be GREAT. If you want to write an article we welcome your talents.
There are a few bugs to still be worked out in the new forums, so let us know what you find as you find it so Ken can fix those problems. We hope the new forums moves faster in loading and being able to respond then the blog is at times.
There will be a new article up on Roland Carnaby today, with a lot of information on who he was and who he knew.
We are getting the documents from Casey Anthony as they are released by the Orange County D. A. today as well as the pictures being released and will have those up to download as the day goes forward.
We will have another article up today as well in comparing the declarations that Howard K. Stern filed in his Response to Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Rita Cosby and Hachette. If there is a declaration you want us to look at and then go back in the files and pull the relevant information as we have done with the Larry Birkhead’s declaration let us know.
We have been so busy on the site that I have yet to read all of the declarations released by Stern’s legal team in the New York case yet, but from what many of you are saying they promise to be good, factual and enlightening.
As always thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com and keep the suggestions coming, we really want to make this a user friendly site for all of you no matter which case you might be interested in reading about.

I continue to be amazed at how Casey Anthony’s lawyers, led by Jose Baez and Linda Kenney Baden, have to fight at every junction to get what they are entitled to for the defense of their client. It must be hard when the defense team is alleging they get the discovery material they are allowed and need only after it is leaked or openly given to the media.
We have the D.A trying the case in the public arena, but then asking that Casey Anthony’s legal team be muzzled and if not then to be investigated. WTH is that about?
We have the state who used the Central Florida College to analyze the car and when that report came back saying NO decomposing body, the proof is just not there then the D. A. forum shops until a lab in Tennessee will agree with them. What’s up with that? Ah am I the only one seeing a problem here in getting this woman a fair trial? Whether you believe she is guilty or not does not allow the lynch mob mentality of infotainment passed off as cable news shows to try and convict her. Oh wait, it does allow that doesn’t it.
Then you have the famous Tim Miller and his EquuSearch who now has Cindy and George Anthony’s old lawyer, Mark NeJame, claiming they don’t have to turn over their maps or what was searched when because their approximately 4,000 volunteers have a right to privacy. By the way, they WON that Motion!!!! What in the world could turning over the maps and time line of when the area where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found have anything to do with the “volunteers”? I have always respected the EquuSearch team from Texas but I have to say FOUL here, why in the world would you side with the D. A. and not for truth, justice the American way?? Oh wait, it appears this group is always about let’s get so and so for murder, In the future before inviting this group into help, perhaps the motives of the group needs to be looked at closely. Mr. Miller is saying this search bankrupted his group, good maybe they will stay in Texas and not meddle in searches in the future nor get funding until they have some transparency. Simple transparency, like when, what maps, how many times searched, simple things, if you can not stand behind the professionalism of your “volunteers” and they are not subject to being interviewed like local neighborhood search groups are then perhaps it is time for these cowboys to fade into the sunset.
Then we have Casey Anthony and for that matter her family, parents Cindy and George Anthony and brother Lee Anthony also being tried in the public eye. Casey is in jail Caylee is dead but can’t be buried because the D. A. will not hand over what the defense is entitled to under law. George Anthony is in the hospital despondent and yet infotainment masked as 24 hour news networks keep going for ratings, because ratings equal advertising dollar. Never think for a minute that the Infotainment news cable networks are about truth, they are about the bottom line of ratings and making money. So how many others are going to try to cash in on poor Caylee Anthony?
Because this trial has now been put off indefinitely it will give us some time to go through the documents and especially go through the sworn statement the Sheriff’s department took of “witnesses” or “persons of interest”. I hope that we will have some good discussions on this case as it progresses through the courts.
We have new papers up in this case, and we are still sorting through some to break them down to bite size pieces so we can discuss them. As always the documents on this case like other cases are open to ALL not just members of Rose Speaksc.com.
Remember Rose Speaks.com also has its own You Tube channel now as well. Stop by and view all of the videos on this case and tell us what you would like to see added.
Look at the videos, pick up the papers then come back and discuss with us why did the D. A. not trust their own experts in Florida?
