  • Casey Anthony Puts Murder Trial Behind Her, Starts Photography Business With Help From Investigator

    Casey Anthony Puts Murder Trial Behind Her, Starts Photography Business With Help From Investigator

    Casey Anthony has reportedly started her own photography business in West Palm Beach, Florida.

    Anthony, who has been called “the most hated mom in America” after she was acquitted of the murder of her toddler Caylee, allegedly received some help from investigator Patrick McKenna to start her own business. His address is listed for the company’s, although it’s unclear what sort of photography Casey will be doing.

    Casey Anthony drew national attention in 2008 when she claimed a babysitter had kidnapped her 2-year old daughter in July; the little girl’s body was found in December. The case garnered quite a bit of speculation and doubt from both detectives and those watching the trial, but Casey was acquitted of all charges with the help of McKenna.

    Anthony has kept well out of the public eye for the last several years following public outrage at her acquittal, surfacing a couple of times in recent years for court appearances. After filing for bankruptcy in 2013, Anthony said she had no job, no car, and couldn’t support herself outside of the cash and gift cards her supporters gave her.

    “I guess you could say I’m living free off the kindness,” Casey said.

    Although Anthony was found not guilty of the most serious charges against her–including first-degree murder–she did face misdemeanor charges stemming from stories she told police about a babysitter kidnapping Caylee, which she later said was not true. Prosecutors alleged that Anthony wanted out of her responsibilities and used chloroform on her daughter to render her unconscious, then put duct tape over her mouth and nose to smother her. Anthony claimed she had nothing to do with her daughter’s death.

    “There are no winners in this case. Caylee has passed on far, far too soon. Casey did not murder Caylee,” Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, said after the trial. “It’s that simple. And today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction.”

  • Nick Gordon Didn’t Kill Bobbi Kristina Brown, According to Papers Filed to Dismiss Wrongful Death Lawsuit

    Nick Gordon didn’t kill Bobbi Kristina Brown–at least according to Nick Gordon and the team of lawyers he assembled to file paperwork to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit he was hit with when Bobbi Kristina died on July 26th. His legal team calls the accusations against Nick Gordon “false” and “frivolous.”

    “[The original lawsuit] contains several unsupported conclusory, untrue, criminal accusations that Defendant Nicholas Gordon committed acts that he simply did not do,” read part of the motion. “[The] plaintiff has not provided any evidence including but not limited to affidavits, police reports, indictments, or any other documentation to support baseless claims against Defendant Nicholas Gordon,” the papers read.

    The original lawsuit filed by an executor for Bobbi Kristina Brown–before she died–accused Nick Gordon of having abused Bobbi Kristina in the days prior to her being discovered unconscious in a bathtub inside her Roswell, Georgia townhouse. Gordon was also accused of stealing money from her bank account while Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized in a coma.

    When Bobbi Kristina Brown died, the lawsuit was amended.

    “Bobbi Kristina was subsequently diagnosed with global and irreversible brain damage and died as a result of Defendant’s actions,” the amended paperwork read.

    Nick Gordon’s attorneys, Joe Habachy and Jose Baez (Baez represented Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her toddler, Caylee Anthony), called the suit “slanderous and meritless.”

    “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly,” the attorneys said in a joint statement to ABC News. “Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most.”

    Do you think Nick Gordon caused Bobbi Kristina’s death? Her father, Bobby Brown, and members of her mom, Whitney Houston’s family, believe so.

    Will Nick wind up paying for the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s untimely death or will his legal team get the whole thing dismissed instead?

  • Bobbi Kristina: Dad Bobby Brown Welcomes One Daughter, Waits for Another to Die

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her last days in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, while her dad Bobby Brown experiences a range of emotions so vast it’s nearly unfathomable. The New Edition singer has welcomed a new daughter into the world with wife Alicia Etheredge as he waits for another daughter to die.

    Alicia Etheredge gave birth to her second child with Bobby Brown on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. They also have a five-year-old son named Cassius.

    Bobby Brown left Bobbi Kristina’s bedside and was in L.A. in time to be with Alicia before their daughter made her way into the world.

    Bobbi Kristina has hovered near death’s door since being moved from a rehab facility to the hospice a couple of weeks ago. She has been removed from all forms of life support but appears to be hanging on.

    It was back on January 31st that Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. She has never regained consciousness. A trip to a Chicago hospital prior to the move to hospice assured family members there is no brain activity and no chance that Bobbi Kristina will recover.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend and the young man raised alongside her by Whitney Houston–has assembled a legal team to represent him in a civil lawsuit filed by a conservator on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown. The lawsuit alleges that in the days prior to Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy he physically abused her and withdrew money from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Gordon has retained Jose Baez as one of his attorneys. Baez represented Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her toddler, Caylee Anthony.

    Nick Gordon, of course, denies these allegations and maintains his only wish is to see Bobbi Kristina one more time before she passes away.

    Yes, the range of emotions Bobby Brown is experiencing right now is vast. The joy of welcoming one daughter into the world while waiting for another to take her last breath is something no father should ever have to endure.

    How sad that Bobbi Kristina will never know her new half-sister.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Leolah Brown Says No One from Her Family Took Deathbed Photo

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is still clinging to life in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, while members of her dad’s family are still causing a commotion with every opportunity that arises. Right now the commotion of choice is the Bobbi Kristina Brown deathbed photo that is reportedly being shopped from tabloid to tabloid, and the banning of the Brown family–with the exception of dad Bobby Brown–from Bobbi Kristina’s bedside.

    Leolah Brown–Bobby’s sister and Bobbi Kristina’s aunt–has been one of the more outspoken and seemingly spotlight-starved members of said family, and her latest gripe to reporters is regarding that deathbed photo.

    In a recent post on social media, Leolah Brown is adamant that no one from the Brown family took the deathbed photo.

    “Please know that, that picture that was taken of my niece, Bobbi Kristina was taken when NO other Brown was around her. My brothers KNOW this and we have already determined who we are sure it WAS NOT! And believe me-IT WAS NOT A BROWN!” she wrote.

    Leolah Brown also insinuated that some of the visitors still allowed at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside shouldn’t be there.

    “I knew in my heart this would happen and did MY best to try to keep certain people away and at the same time keep the peace for my niece’s and brothers sake,” she added. “But there is only so much I can do (right now)!”

    And then she indicated her shock and dismay over Bobbi Kristina Brown even being in a hospice facility.

    “I am just as shocked as you are when it comes to the status of my niece, Bobbi Kristina, even being in hospice. To the best of my knowledge, she was getting better!”

    In a local radio interview, however,Leolah admitted that Bobbi Kristina was in dire shape.

    “I am not going to bite my tongue. My niece is laying in hospice right now, dying,” she said.

    How sad it is that the 22-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown is near death in a hospice while members of her dad’s family are seeking not only to profit financially from her condition, but to get their 15 minutes of fame as well.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon, against whom a conservator for Bobbi Kristina recently filed a civil lawsuit, has assembled a top-notch legal team–including the one Casey Anthony used during her murder trail in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony–and has indicated he wants to see Bobbi Kristina one last time before she dies. The suit alleges Nick Gordon physically abused Bobbi Kristina, and withdrew funds from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Some speculate that when Bobbi Kristina passes away that Nick Gordon may be charged with murder.

    Will Bobbi Kristina Brown ever rest in peace–even after she is reunited with mom Whitney Houston? It seems like a fight over her short life will ensue here on earth for a long time to come.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Deathbed Photo Results in Brown Family Being Banned from Hospice

    Bobbi Kristina Brown will take her last breath in a hospice outside of Atlanta. Someone who visited her at that hospice facility took a deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina, and is in the process of shopping it to a number of tabloids. It is believed that the person who took the photo is a member of Bobby Brown’s family. As a result, the Brown family–with the exception of Bobby Brown–has been banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospice.

    HollywoodLife.com reports that a security team told Whitney Houston’s family they had evidence that a member of Bobby Brown’s family had taken the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina. The executors of her estate–Bobby Brown and Pat Houston–have since prohibited any additional Brown family members from visiting again.

    The Houston family reportedly knows the name of the person who took the tasteless photo. And even though they know that person aims to profit from Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy, they still won’t divulge who it is.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Before moving her to the hospice facility, she was flown to Chicago for one last doctor’s exam. Following the exam, doctors told Bobby Brown there was nothing they could do for his daughter.

    It won’t be long before Bobbi Kristina Brown is reunited with her mother, Whitney Houston, who tragically was found in a very similar state as Bobbi Kristina. Whitney, however, had died by the time she was discovered in the bathtub.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend–by an executor. The civil suit alleges he physically abused Bobbi Kristina and withdrew money from her bank account without her permission in the days leading up to her tragedy.

    Nick Gordon denies the allegations and is busy assembling a legal team that includes Jose Baez, the attorney who represented Casey Anthony, who was charged with but acquitted of the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony.

    Once Bobbi Kristina Brown passes away, Nick Gordon could be charged with murder. It is likely that Bobby Brown will go after whomever took the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina then, too.

    How sad that in addition to watching Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life slip away, the Brown and Houston families also have to deal with these additional matters–one that may be criminal in nature, and the other a matter of pure greed.

  • Nick Gordon: Legal Team in Bobbi Kristina Brown Lawsuit to Include Casey Anthony’s Lawyer

    Nick Gordon was named in a civil suit last week when a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown filed a lawsuit against him. The suit alleges he abused Bobbi Kristina in the days leading up to January 31st, when she was found unconscious in her bathtub. The suit claims Nick Gordon physically assaulted her and took money from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Now ET is reporting that Nick Gordon is assembling a high power legal team, in anticipation of the possibility of more charges coming when Bobbi Kristina Brown dies. Jose Baez is included on his legal team. He is the lawyer who represented Casey Anthony, who was acquitted in the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

    In addition to Jose Baez, Nick Gordon’s legal team thus far includes Joe Habachy, who will serve as lead attorney. TJ Ward, one of the investigators who worked on the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway when she went missing in Aruba in 2005, is expected to sign on to the team as well.

    No criminal charges have yet been filed against Nick Gordon, but it’s expected that could happen.

    “[The District’s Attorney] will have to make a decision whether this was a homicide, a domestic violence or non-criminal,” former LA prosecutor Michael Kraut explained in a conversation with ET. “Nick clearly doesn’t have $10 million. The lawsuit was filed to get information in order to provide the police and district attorney about what happened on that day.”

    Do you expect Nick Gordon might be charged with murder when Bobbi Kristina Brown passes away? Her family is sitting vigil by her bedside at a Georgia hospice awaiting that fateful moment.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon was recently spotted out shopping in Florida.

    Do you think there is enough evidence against Nick Brown to prove that he harmed Bobbi Kristina enough to cause her death?

  • Casey Anthony Lawyer, Judge Make Headlines Three Years After Acquittal

    Three years after the acquittal of Casey Anthony in her trial for the murder of daughter Caylee, her lawyer and the judge who presided over the case are making headlines. Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, recently gave an interview where he spoke about Anthony’s controversial case. Meanwhile, former judge Belvin Perry is stepping down from the bench to join a Florida law firm.

    Baez sat down with WFTV’s Greg Warmoth to discuss his thoughts about the trial that put Casey in the international spotlight in 2011. He defended his opening statement in the trial, where he accused Anthony’s father George of sexually abusing her and of being part of a plan to cover up the alleged drowning of Caylee in a pool.

    “There’s more evidence that she drowned in the pool, in my opinion, than there is that of chloroform or duct tape,” said Baez. He also addressed rumors of having an affair with Anthony by denying that she was doing legal research for him and saying he no longer is in contact with her.

    “So many people think she got away with murder. I think not,” Baez said.

    The lawyer, who recently opened an office in downtown Orlando, claimed that he felt Judge Belvin Perry talked down to him during the trial. Perry has officially resigned his post as chief judge of Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit. After serving 25 years as a judge there, he announced on September 1 that he was going back into private practice with the law firm of Morgan and Morgan.

    Perry is reportedly looking forward to returning to the courtroom trying cases, having served as a prosecutor for several years before becoming a judge. “I have a golden opportunity to do something that I’ve always wanted to do, and that’s to practice personal injury law,” he said of the new development in his career.

  • Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Hired By Michael Lohan

    Casey Anthony’s now-famous lawyer, Jose Baez, has been hired by another (somewhat) famous face.

    Michael Lohan, the train wreck father of Lindsay Lohan, has allegedly hired Baez to bring charges against the Palm Beach County Detention Center.

    He is accusing the facility of ignoring vaginal bleeding happening to his pregnant girlfriend, Kate Major.

    On August 4th, the bleeding was reported to have gone on for five days. Casey Anthony’s former lawyer is hoping to issue a court order for the jail to properly treat Kate Major’s bleeding.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I1lNZEKQ-g

    “This is a real mess,” Lohan said of the fiasco. “She is … pregnant and they know it … usually, this type of bleeding is indicative of a miscarriage.”

    He said authorities “put a pregnant woman with people who have staph infections,” and that “the stuff that goes on in that place is just inhumane.”

    He continued, “What do they think is going to happen?”

    Michael Lohan has also said that Kate Major’s living conditions are barbaric.

    “She hasn’t showered in four days. The vent in her cell has mold, and every time the air turns on the mold pieces fall into her cell. She has bruises on her back because she is sleeping on a plastic bed with a thin mattress.”

    Jose Baez, who defended Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her daughter Caylee, was brought on board to hopefully work a little of that nearly impossible Casey Anthony magic. Can he improve conditions for Kate Major, who is serving an eight-month sentence for violating probation on a DUI sentence and is also carrying Michael Lohan’s baby?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj6Wv3fNvkg

    We shall see. He was able to free Casey Anthony when almost the entire country was convinced of her guilt, so perhaps he could make it happen.

  • Joan Rivers Bashed for Being ‘Very Mean’, Bails on CNN Interview

    Joan Rivers is very good at criticizing others, but when she is the target of criticism, it seems she just bails.

    That’s what happened when the comedian-author stormed off the set of a pre-taped CNN interview with Fredricka Whitfield after the anchor said Rivers’ critiques on her E! Fashion Police show are “very mean.

    “Even with your fashion critiquing, while it’s very mean in some ways…” began Whitfield before she was quickly interrupted.

    “It’s not mean, it’s not mean, it’s not mean. I tell the truth,” replied Rivers, 81. “I’m sure I say the same things that all the viewers say to their friends sitting next to them on the couch.”

    “These ladies make $28 million a picture,” she continued of the celebrities she often bashes during her commentary. “Do you really think that Nicki Minaj cares I didn’t like her dress?”

    Whitfield then questioned Rivers’ lack of sensitivity for people involved in some taboo subjects Rivers jokes about, including Casey Anthony’s baby and Princess Diana.

    “Life is very tough, and if you can make a joke to make something easier, and funny, do it, done, that’s all! Darling, I don’t know what your life has been like but I have a lot of people who’ve gone through hell… Winston Churchill said, ‘If you make someone laugh, you give them a little vacation,’ and maybe you take the worst thing in the world, make it funny, and it’s a vacation for a minute from horror,” said Rivers.

    When Whitfield turned the tables and questioned Rivers’ fashion choice of fur for the cover of her new book, Diary of a Mad Diva, that’s when Rivers got a little hot under the collar and bailed.

    “You know this whole interview is becoming a defensive interview,” Rivers said. “Are you wearing leather shoes? Shut up.”

    “You know what, I’m going. I’m really going because all you’ve done is negative,” she ranted. “I’ve made people laugh for 50 years. I was put on Earth to make people laugh and my book is funny.”

    The interview aired July 5 on CNN.

  • Casey Anthony: Does She Deserve Life Of Loneliness?

    Casey Anthony has all but disappeared off the face of the planet after her sensational murder trial back in 2011. While photo upon photo of Casey Anthony partying it up while her daughter was missing was shared during her trial, it seems she now lives a life of nervous solitude according her lawyer-turned-friend, Cheney Mason.

    Mason, who just that year had been selected by Florida Monthly magazine as one of Florida’s top lawyers, was brought on board pro-bono. This was after giving extensive advise to Casey Anthony’s then unknown and under-experienced lawyer, Jose Baez.

    Mason said he joined Casey Anthony’s team not only because he believed she was innocent of the murder of her daughter, Caylee, but also because he was upset about the way the media at the time treated Baez.

    “I was offended by it. I was offended by the fact that he wasn’t being treated fairly. I didn’t know Baez. I had never met him,” Mason said.

    He says that Casey Anthony still insists that she is innocent. He says that during the trial Casey Anthony became very upset when a plea deal was brought up.

    “Casey got very angry about that. She got very angry to hear talk about it. She didn’t want to hear it.” Mason said. “Casey would fight it ’til her last breath. She didn’t kill her daughter.”

    Even though Casey Anthony maintains her innocence, she is still guilty in the eyes of many Americans who sat for hours watching the details of her trial as they were released. Therefore, it is nearly impossible for her to live a normal life.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmjlT8hUuc4

    “I think Casey has a lot of world left to have to deal with. She hasn’t been freed from her incarceration yet ’cause she can’t go out. She can’t go to a beauty parlor, she can’t go shopping to a department store, she can’t go to a restaurant, she can’t even go to McDonald’s. She can’t do anything”, Mason said of Casey Anthony’s life of solitude.

    If she is innocent, it’s sad that Casey Anthony’s life has been even more destroyed after the murder of her daughter. If she is guilty, then I suppose a life of rejection and loneliness is the best she should have hoped for and way better than she deserves.

  • Casey Anthony: Lawyer Speaks Beyond The Trial

    Casey Anthony was in her early 20’s when her 2-year old daughter, Caylee, disappeared. A massive search began for the beautiful little girl, whose picture could be seen just about everywhere. Her face was soon burned into the minds of just about everyone who owned a television, and as the days went on, it became clear to some that little Caylee wasn’t going to be found alive. Suspicion soon turned to Casey, who lied to officials about where she worked and about the fact that her nanny had taken Caylee, and it didn’t take long for the death threats to begin. When Caylee’s remains were found in December of 2008, talk began of seeking the death penalty. After that, talk turned to plea deals, but Anthony wouldn’t hear of it, says Florida Attorney Cheney Mason.

    “Casey got very angry about that. She got very angry to hear talk about it. She didn’t want to hear it. Casey would fight it ’til her last breath. She didn’t kill her daughter,” Mason said.

    According to Mason–who spoke with Anthony on several occasions while she was incarcerated–Anthony fears for her safety and lives in virtual seclusion in Florida, afraid to live a normal life after being acquitted in 2011.

    “She has to live constantly on guard. She can’t go out in public. I think Casey has a lot of world left to have to deal with. She hasn’t been freed from her incarceration yet ’cause she can’t go out. She can’t go to a beauty parlor, she can’t go shopping to a department store, she can’t go to a restaurant, she can’t even go to McDonald’s. She can’t do anything,” he said.

    Added to Anthony’s concern is the paparazzi; TMZ reported that she was on a shopping trip soon after she was acquitted and had been spotted in Ohio. Her high profile case and the strong public reaction against her have kept her from speaking out, although Mason says he believes she wants to. For now, what happened to Caylee remains a mystery, although the remains were allegedly found with duct tape on the skull, which contributed to the homicide investigation. There was talk during the trial that Caylee might have drowned and Casey and her father, George, panicked and hid the evidence, but both denied that on the stand.

    “I do think she wants to speak out. I have never asked her that, but I know she has very strong feelings for what has happened to her. I also know she’s very saddened by her loss and she will never forget her daughter Caylee, ever.”

  • Casey Anthony: Will America Ever Stop Hating Her?

    Casey Anthony.

    The name alone makes mothers grimace and your average bystander shake his head.

    Those who consider themselves “freethinkers” or faithful to the interpretation of American laws will say the reactions to Anthony are unfair for one reason or another.

    Regardless of what such persons say, the fact remains….people hate this woman.

    Anthony has been a public eyesore since she was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges by a Florida jury on July 5th, 2011.

    The death of Anthony’s 2-year-old daughter Caylee had been blamed on the young mother by members of the public and pundits in the press in the lead up to the verdict.

    It only served to raise expectations she’d be found guilty.

    The outcome stunned the public, which continues to assume that the opinion of citizens and the opinion of juries will link up in major cases.

    Somehow, the fact that these individuals are isolated on purpose continues to be lost on many Americans.

    What Casey Anthony’s jury believed to be true about Anthony did not at all mesh with what the public felt, and felt very strongly.

    In the immediate aftermath of the verdict, members of the public took to social media to voice their outrage.

    The public outcry was intense for weeks, possibly even months, after the case was over.

    In the years since the trial, the level of anger about the Casey Anthony ruling cooled from red hot indignation to lukewarm disgust. This is likely because the public has since moved on to new injustices and controversies.

    Even so, the negative impression towards Anthony has never gone away.

    As Casey Anthony’s name continues to pop up in the headlines periodically, one has to ask: Will the public ever stop hating this woman?

    With the continued negative reaction to her name alone, it seems easy to suggest the answer will be, “Probably not.”

    Anthony simply does not seem capable of presenting herself as a sympathetic character or genuinely interested in doing so.

    At no point does she appear to be a grieving mother.

    If anything, it seems she’s far more ready to capitalize on her infamy than demonstrate that she loved her deceased toddler.

    This interpretation of Anthony has made her a person that, despite being found not guilty in a court of law, is hard to stomach by many who see all the indications that she’s a woman who knows she got away with murder. So long as there’s nothing in her behavior which represents a wrongfully maligned mother, it’s unlikely many will see her as such.

    What do YOU think Casey Anthony would have to do to get people to stop hating her? Is such a thing possible? Comment below!

  • Casey Anthony Items For Sale On Murderabilia Website

    Casey Anthony Items For Sale On Murderabilia Website

    Have you ever wondered where you can buy items that were previously owned by serial killers? Well, look no further.

    Eric Holler, owner of serialkillersink.net, has made a living selling “murderabilia”. Holler has items from Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz, and now a whole section on Casey Anthony, the woman who was acquitted of murdering her young daughter. Holler’s selection includes clothing from Anthony, and several of her purses. However, don’t think that you will be able to purchase these items cheap…each item is selling for $800.

    Apparently, Anthony’s parents held a garage sale to help pay for Anthony’s $800,000 debt back in June 2013. Christian Werner, a local resident, stopped at the garage sale and purchased several items, which she then sold to the website. Werner made sure to videotape her purchase so she could prove their authenticity.

    (image)

    “I drove by and noticed the house looked familiar to me. I had seen this house before,” Werner said. “I got close and noticed that the people outside really looked like George and Cindy Anthony. It was the home of Caylee Anthony’s grandparents. When I pulled up, they were taking tarps off the yard sale items that were covered due to the rain,” she continued. “I immediately noticed the two white canopies over the yard sale tables because they looked like the tents used in the search for Caylee.”

    (image)

    So, why did Holler choose a profession selling murderer’s items? He says that he is “catering to supply and demand.” “I’m in this business to make a profit, like any other entrepreneur,” he said. “I know there is a demand for items I sell.” However, Holler does have some sort of a conscience…he refused to sell Caylee’s items because that would be “crossing the line.”

  • Casey Anthony Items for Sale on Website

    Don’t you hate it when you really want to get your hands on items that were previously owned by infamous killers or people of interest, but don’t know where to look? If so, you may be excited to know that there’s a website that has what you’ve been looking for, especially if you want something Casey Anthony owned.

    The website serialkillersink.net sells “murderabilia” from a variety of people in the crime spotlight, including Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy and David Berkowitz. The newest merchandise, however, is from Casey Anthony, who was famously found “not-guilty” of murdering her young daughter, Caylee, who was found dead in 2008.

    The items for sale, including seven pairs of pants and six purses, were purchased by Christina Werner, who attended a garage sale held by Anthony’s parents and secretly videotaped the transaction. Werner then sold the merchandise to Eric Holler, who runs the website.

    “I’m catering to supply and demand,” said Holler in an interview. “Of course I’m trying to profit; I’m running a business here. I’m not in the business of losing money.”

    Every man has his limitations, however, and Holler has his own. He said he would not sell any of Caylee’s toys, as that would “cross the line.”

    If you’re interested in purchasing any of Anthony’s items, expect to pay about $800 for each piece. Along with the satisfaction of knowing you now own something that Anthony once possessed, you will also receive a “certificate of authenticity.”

    Twitter was filled was opinions about the website and its Anthony items:

  • Casey Anthony Reaches Settlement with Texas EquuSearch

    Casey Anthony reached a settlement with search and rescue organization, Texas EquuSearch last Friday. The organization said it spent over $100, 000 in an attempt to find her missing daughter.

    Anthony is the Florida mother acquitted in 2011 of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie. The nationally televised court trial leading up to her acquittal, engrossed Americans for nearly three years. Anthony lied to investigators in 2008 when she told them that Caylee was kidnapped, when, in fact, Caylee had drowned at home in the family pool. Though Anthony was set free, jurors found her guilty of a lesser charge of giving false information to law enforcement.

    File:CMA Memorial (1 of 1).jpg

    Caylee’s body was found six months after her death. She was duct-taped and discarded in a wooded area near by her mother’s home.

    When Caylee went missing in 2008, Texas EquuSearch put together a huge rescue operation to find her. They claimed to have spent about $100, 000 in the search, which resulted in their using up much of their financial resources. All the while, Anthony, knew the truth.

    On Monday Marc Wites, Texas EquuSearch lawyer, said his client decided not to go to trial with the case. Instead, Anthony reached a settlement allowing Texas EquuSearch to be named as a creditor to an unsecured sum of $75,000. The 26-year-old Anthony, has declared bankruptcy, claiming to have nearly $800, 000 in debt while only having about $1000 in assets.

    Anthony’s most valuable asset right now may be the rights to her life story. Bankruptcy trustee Stephen Meininger, wanted to secure some of her potential earnings for Anthony’s creditors but, her lawyers retaliated, saying that such measures were a violation of her constitutional rights.

    “Texas EquuSearch’s mission and purpose is to help families and individuals to find their missing loved ones,” said Wites. “That’s the reason they helped the Anthony family in the first place. While they were searching for Caylee, they got calls from other families for help and had to turn them away.” 

    Wites believes that due to Anthony declaring bankruptcy, it is unlikely that his client will receive any money.

    Anthony’s court problems are not over. She still has to deal with a defamation of character lawsuit by a woman named Zenaida Gonzalez. Gonzales was the woman who happened to find Caylee’s body while working as a meter reader. Anthony mislead law enforcement when she pretended that a woman who matched Gonzalez’s description kidnapped her daughter.

    What do you think about Casey Anthony’s situation?

  • Casey Anthony Reaches Settlement with Texas Group EquuSearch

    Casey Anthony, the Florida mother involved in the infamous 2011 acquittal for the 2008 murder of her 2-year-old daughter, has reached a settlement agreement with EquuSearch (TES).

    The Texas-based company specializes in search and rescue operations in an effort to locate missing persons. Headquartered in the Houston suburb of Dickerson, Texas, the organization gained notoriety with the high-profile abduction case of Natalee Holloway.

    The organization made headlines again with their search for 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. Six months after the disappearance and death, the toddler’s body was found duct-taped in a wooded area not far from Anthony’s home. The organization sued Anthony’s

    Texas EquuSearch claims that they shelled out more than $100,000 for the search of Caylee Anthony. They brought “countless” volunteers on board to participate in the nation-wide search for the child, who was already dead. In wake of the national search,, the company even had to turn down others in the same predicament to give Anthony’s case top priority.

    “Texas EquuSearch’s mission and purpose is to help families and individuals to find their missing loved ones,” he said. “That’s the reason they helped the Anthony family in the first place. While they were searching for Caylee, they got calls from other families for help and had to turn them away.”

     The breaking point for EquuSearch came when Anthony’s lawyers informed jurors during the trial that the child drowned in the backyard pool, and that Anthony was well aware that the child was not missing.

    Attorney Marc Wites, who represents Texas EquuSearch, stated on Monday that the organization opted not to go to trial with the case. Anthony, 26, filed for bankruptcy at the top of the year in wake of the mounting cost she incurred amid the trial. She stated that she only has approximately $1,000 in assets, with more than an estimated $800,000 in debt.

    According to the Orlando Sentinel, the search organization will be granted an unsecured claim of $75,000 under the terms of Anthony’s settlement in her bankruptcy case. However, it’s relatively unlikely that they’ll receive that amount. They will probably get a small portion of whatever can be salvaged of Anthony’s estate through her bankruptcy trustee. But, judging from the grim estimation of Anthony’s assets, they won’t walk away with much, if anything at all.

    The motion was filed last week in the federal bankruptcy court of Tampa, Florida. However, in exchange for the acceptance of the settlement terms, EquuSearch will not be entitled to any other monetary claims, and will be forced to cease any further action in the case.

  • Casey Anthony Reaches Settlement

    Casey Anthony has finally reached a settlement with one of the search groups, Texas EquuSearch, who scoured Central Florida on a wild goose chase for her 2-year-old daughter in 2008.

    The organization claims that they spent over $100,000 while searching for Caylee Anthony. They were one of three creditors that filed federal complaints against Anthony. They came to an agreement today to settle for claiming $75,000 from her Chapter 7 bankruptcy that she filed in January. It is reported that she has nearly $800,000 in debt and only around $1,000 in assets.

    Texas EquuSearch lawyer Marc Wites said: “Texas EquuSearch’s mission and purpose is to help families and individuals to find their missing loved ones… That’s the reason they helped the Anthony family in the first place. While they were searching for Caylee, they got calls from other families for help and had to turn them away.”

    EquuSearch made the decision to settle so that they could focus their time and funding on searching for more missing children. “While many have debated whether Casey Anthony will ever financially profit from Caylee’s death, one thing is certain; the time and money that [EquuSearch] must spend to pursue these claims are being taken from other families that really need their help,” said Wites.

    Anthony was found not guilty of murder in 2011. She has been staying in hiding since the ruling.

  • Casey Anthony To Appear In Court In October

    Casey Anthony, the young mother famously acquitted in 2011 of first-degree murder in the death of her toddler, Caylee, will be returning to court in October. A deposition in the civil suit against Anthony filed by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, the “nanny” Anthony claimed abducted her daughter and later admitted she did not even know, is scheduled for October 9th in Tampa.

    Fernandez-Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation of character and losses she acquired stemming from the manhunt in 2008; she says Casey Anthony “ruined her life” when she was wrongfully accused.

    Casey Anthony was found not guilty in the death of her daughter over two years ago, and has rarely been seen in public since; many still believe the bizarre circumstances surrounding little Caylee’s death are too much to be coincidence, and that Casey Anthony undoubtedly murdered her own baby.

    Anthony didn’t report her daughter’s disappearance until weeks after the fact and then led police on numerous leads that were all eventually proven to be completely false.

    The October deposition will be the first of many for Casey Anthony, who is the target of several other civil suits filed by individuals and groups involved in the disappearance of, and search for, three-year-old Caylee. It will also be the first time Anthony is under oath – being under oath prevents a person from remaining silent under their Fifth Amendment rights, which Casey is known for, in order to avoid speaking about the ordeal.

    Fernandez-Gonzalez’s attorney, Matt Morgan of Morgan and Morgan, told an Orlando news station, “There is no option, when you are being deposed. Your attorney can make an objection but you have to talk, there’s no option to stay silent or plead the Fifth in this particular set of circumstances.”

    The most anyone can hope for at this point is that the true details surrounding Caylee’s death will be brought to light and the case can finally rest; Caylee’s remains were finally discovered six months after her disappearance, and Casey Anthony created blatant lies about her daughter’s whereabouts throughout the search, hindering the investigation.

  • Caylee Anthony’s Belongings Sold In Yard Sale

    Caylee Anthony, the 2-year old whose mother went on trial–and was ultimately found not guilty–for her murder, left behind some belongings with her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony. Those belongings–including toys, jewelry, and clothing–were laid out in a yard sale in Mount Dora, Florida over the weekend for anyone to buy.

    Christina Werner happened to be driving by and stopped at the sale when something grabbed her attention.

    “When I pulled up, they were taking tarps off the yard sale items that were covered due to the rain,” Werner told Radar Online. “I immediately noticed the two white canopies over the yard sale tables because they looked like the tents used in the search for Caylee.”

    Werner bought several of the child’s items and says she seemed to be the only one who realized the significance of what was up for sale. Interestingly, the Anthonys allegedly argued in front of her about the price of some of the items, as George had marked them down without telling his wife and that upset her.

    Casey Anthony has been in hiding somewhere in Florida since the end of her 2011 trial but has faced several legal battles in court; despite being found not guilty of her daughter’s murder, she was found guilty of providing false information to police and, after all her trial costs and the legal costs stemming from a defamation lawsuit, she is now $800,000 in debt. She has filed for bankruptcy and just reached a settlement agreement regarding the rights to her life story in which she’ll pay $25,000, though it’s not clear where she will get the money.

  • Casey Anthony Agrees To Pay 25K To Settle Life Rights Dispute

    Casey Anthony has agreed to pay $25,000 to settle a dispute in her bankruptcy case involving the rights to her life story, although no one is quite clear on where she’s going to get the money.

    Anthony went to court back in March for her bankruptcy hearing, claiming she was more than $800,000 in debt due to fines accrued from her 2011 murder trial. She has been unemployed since the highly sensationalized case and it’s been unclear who has been supporting her, though a pending book deal could help put a dent in her debts. When trustee Stephen Meininger filed a motion to sell the worldwide rights to her life story–calling it an asset that could be used to get her finances back in shape–Anthony’s attorneys opposed the motion, saying it was a “slippery slope that would have dangerous repercussions far beyond the scope of this case.” Now, both sides are working out a resolution, which includes the $25,000 settlement.

    Anthony has been mostly in hiding since the end of the trial, in which she was found not guilty of the murder of her 2-year old daughter, Caylee. She was, however, found guilty of providing false information to police during the investigation and served time for those charges. She is currently in a legal battle with Zenaida Gonzalez, who says Anthony ruined her reputation and defamed her when she told police that a woman with the same name was Caylee’s babysitter and had taken off with the toddler.

  • Casey Anthony: Defamation Suit Goes To Federal Court

    Casey Anthony is still locked in a battle with two people who are suing her over defamation of character, and now the suit is going to federal court.

    Anthony, who claims she is $800,000 in debt, was found to be too destitute for the suit to go on in state court, and that’s exactly what her lawyers were hoping for. Once a federal judge reviews the case, he or she can decide whether it can be discharged.

    The 27-year old is accused of defamation by Zenaida Gonzalez and Roy Kronk after being implicated by Anthony in the death of her 2-year old daughter, Caylee. Anthony claimed during the initial, crucial hours of the investigation into Caylee’s disappearance that Gonzalez was Caylee’s babysitter and had kidnapped the child, but it was later revealed that the two women didn’t even know each other. Gonzalez is suing because she says the accusations damaged her reputation. Kronk was implicated in the little girl’s death.

    Anthony was in hiding somewhere in Florida after her highly publicized acquittal in Caylee’s death, but a judge ruled that she be tracked down and served a subpoena when the defamation suit was filed last year.
