Caylee Anthony case: Defense wants a take-back and a do-over, and use spin to request
Posted on January 13, 2011 by Valhall
Two motions were filed by the defense this week in the Casey Anthony murder case. One is the equivalent of a take-back and the other is basically a request for a do-over, or a Mulligan. First the take-back.

Remember Cheney Mason had that blatherfest in front of the court house back in July of last year and sounded like a dementia patient who wasn’t taking his Gingko biloba? I wrote about it here, but what he said is worth repeating – especially since he apparently doesn’t want anybody talking about it. He said:

Uh yeah, it’s been, the public has been made to believe that these people searched the exact area, um, where the body was, or tried to and couldn’t. The fact is the didn’t try to, and they didn’t, they weren’t there, and it was impassable at the time. So there’s a lot of people who are mistaking things of what happened back in the summer of 2008 and what happened in the winter of 2008.

Okay, apparently Mr. Mason has filed a motion requesting that his little ramble-fest, which flies in the face of what appears to be the defense’s only defense (i.e. Caylee wasn’t placed on Suburban until AFTER Casey was in jail), treated like the Andromeda Strain basically. He wants it hermetically sealed in a Mason Jar (lawlz), cryogenically frozen, and stored in Ft. Knox until such time it can be launched into deep space never to return to Earth again. In other words, he wants to act like it never happened. Pretty sure blogs will be brought up again when he presents his arguments in court on this one.

It’s unclear why he bothered because it’s hard to see the state using Mason’s out-of-court misspeaks in the trial, but maybe I’m wrong. After all, if the state was allowed to bring in every ludicrous statement uttered by every Anthony and every defense lawyer involved in this case, then the trial would never end, and will do great as a sitcom in syndicated reruns
