IIRC, the main civil trial will stem from the woman whose reputation she damaged by stating that she kidnapped her child. Even if she accidentally killed her child (via negligence or endangerment) and covered it up, that has nothing to do with blaming a supposed kidnapping on a random woman in the phone book that you have never met. Completely separate case.

I think you misunderstand what they may be trying to do.


Casey may be looking to cash in on her fame via a TV or book deal etc.

They are just setting themselves up so they can go after that money that she may make due to her crime.

They may just be trying to keep her from becoming rich of her notoriety.

If they get a $300k judgement against her, you can be assured that she will then cash in on her fame to pay it off. And you can also be sure that whatever deal she does make will be far in excess of $300k.

Maybe they should be focusing on how they dropped the ball on the case and look to prevent future embarrassments of justice.

Why? Civil court has a lower burden of proof because we have decided as a society that we need to be more certain to send someone to jail then to make them pay damages.
 
Balloon boy's parents had to pay for the search and rescue of their kid after it was determined they lied to the authorities. I dont see the problem with this woman who lied and mislead authorities having to pay for the cost of chasing down her lies.
 
And again, for all the haters. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? She was found not guilty of every charge relating to her daughter.

Nobody knows what happened. The people that do know aren't saying anything... so everybody else who is hating and all of this are just making things up.

They can't sue her and recover money spent for the investigation... that absolutely absurd.

She did do it, lying to police that is. (And was convicted of that, but released for time served (4 years I think which was the maximum sentence allowed) and which she is now on probation for.

Honestly, They grossly exaggerated the sentence. Anybody else would have gotten off with alot less time.

That being said, they should actually be paying her for leaving her in jail for a crime she was found innocent of. They held her for what, 3-4 years? for some misdameanors? That's a travesty.

Nobody is going to sit in jail that long for a misdemeanor.

This has nothing to do with her being found not guilty. She changed her story a few times and sent them after a woman who never met her. If you lied to authorities that caused a search and costs associated with that. You would also be potentially on the hook for those costs.

Then why try to get the cost of the entire investigation from her?

Where did it say it was the "entire" cost?

Within the article they even mention it isnt the "entire" cost.

If other deputies' work were included, "the reimbursement for cost of investigation would certainly be larger," Zambouros said in an internal July 28 memo.

Lt. Paul Zambouros of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said the investigative costs of $293,123.77 are based largely on the criminal investigation division's work between July 15, 2008, and December 11, 2008. If other deputies' work were included, "the reimbursement for cost of investigation would certainly be larger," Zambouros said in an internal July 28 memo.

They aren't trying to make her cough up money for checking out the nanny, they are trying to get her to pay for the investigation that was ongoing for half a year until the body was found.

It clearly isnt the entire cost of the investigation. That was my point and it says it right in your quote. And they certainly did spend money on chasing down the nanny. That is included in the costs.

Either way they will have to provide the court with proof as to why they want what money they feel they can recoup. Certainly anything that actually relates to her not leading them in the wrong direction will be tossed.

But yeah... the sentence they gave her was spiteful to begin with and only done so because of the whole guilty until proven innocent thing.

If anything they still owe her for keeping her in jail for as long when other people would have served a portion of the time for the same offenses.
 
The police, the judge and the Florida court system failed miserably in this case and they are trying every petty trick in the book to try and punish Miss Anthony, and its shamefull to watch.

She will never pay a penny of this, as she shouldn't

So you think they spent $300k looking into the nanny?

Clearly not, why would you arrive to that conclusion? You see to jump to conclusions based on little evidence in this thread. First it was they were asking her to cover the entire cost of the investigation which is clearly not the case. Now you think I am saying they spent 300K on investigating one person.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Anthony#Verdict_and_sentence

Judge Perry sentenced Casey Anthony to one year in jail and $1000 in fines for each of the four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer, the maximum penalty prescribed by law. She received three years credit for time served plus additional credit for good behavior, resulting in her release on July 17, 2011.[93] Anthony filed a notice of appeal on July 15, 2011.[94][95]

No comment on the outcome of the trial, but it seems she has already both served time and paid fines for lying to law enforcement officers.
 
Tons of other people have mislead the police, and lied under oath. They would be hypocrites trying to make her pay up, and not everyone else. Which they havent done.

They are saying they are going to try and recoup $300k because she lied about the nanny. I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm going based on the (retarded) mindset of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

She WAS found guilty of lying under oath.

Those lies resulted in thousands of tax payer dollars wasted.

How wrong can one person be?

Her lying to prosecutors didn't result in hundreds of thousands of dollars being wasted, the incompetence of said prosecutors did.

If the good sheriff would like to hold anyone responsible, it should be the DA's office.
 
Balt said:
Yep. Her lies directly led to huge and unnecessary expenditures. Not much different than that idiotic 'balloon boy' family, except they were trying to get a tv show instead of trying to avoid being charged with murder.

Her lie had no impact. She did not have to talk to the police. If she didn't the police still would have had to spend all the money.

It was the polices own incompetence that cost tax payers money. Someone told them they found a body in August. They failed to follow up on it. It was were the person said it was all that time. They are also incompetent for believing the prime suspect.
