Casey Anthony’s gag order denied

Ok, so most of the press isn’t calling it a gag order, but that’s basically what it comes down to. Casey Anthony’s attorney filed a motion today to suppress jailhouse phone calls and video taped interviews, not wanting the press (and the public) to be privy to these conversations. His reason: it could impede the investigation and make it harder for Casey to receive a fair trial.

This from a woman who’s mother insists has not committed a crime and has done nothing wrong. If this is the case, why the worry about a fair trial?!

These are the words quoted from her lawyer:

“It’s our position is that, for example, if this child has been kidnapped and my client gives that information to her family, it should not be released to the media,” Baez told Strickland. “That’s our primary argument. We feel the search needs to be protected. All of the information has negatively impacted my client and possibly to her rights to a fair trial.”

Ummmmm….hello! If she’s been kidnapped, why isn’t Casey providing this top secret info to the INVESTIGATORS who want to find her? The media can be a wonderful tool, if used properly. Instead, Casey Anthony and her family have done all that they can to alienate the media, and the public at large.

Again, I ask….if Casey has done nothing wrong, has nothing to hide, and has any kind of information at all as to Caylee’s whereabouts, why isn’t she providing this to the investigators who want so badly to find her baby? Why does she continue to act like she has something to hide, like she’s guilty? And if she’s not, and it’s her lawyer that is doing all of this to paint her in such a negative light…..there are thousands of lawyers out there. Why not fire THAT one, and find someone who actually cares about finding Caylee?

Again, all just my opinion. Feel free to share yours.
