The following is from WFTV regarding Judge Perry's preparation of charges and holding Jose Baez in contempt, without 'punishing' the defendant, Casey Anthoy, who stands accused of murdering her then 2 year old daughter, Caylee Anthony by duct-taping her mouth and nose, and discarding her body near the Anthony home. Statement Analysis is in bold type while the statements are in italics.
It appeared the defense had no witnesses ready for the stand and the state complained that for a third time in as many days, Casey's lead attorney Jose Baez tried to sneak in expert opinions he hadn't previously disclosed.
“I will be preparing a sanctions package for the court. I believe this is another deliberate violation of the court's order,” said prosecutor Jeff Ashton.
"Believe" shows weakness, as it allows for another belief. In the matters of which he is preparing, it is appropriate since the conclusion, or judgement of such, is at the discretion of the court whom the subject was addressing.
One expert was pulled from the witness stand Saturday and has not been back. Baez tried to get him to question the duct tape theory, but he had not told prosecutors about the testimony. That's a violation of a Perry's pre-trial order.
Perry is threatening Baez with contempt of court.
This is the denial of the allegation which resulted in the threat of "contempt of court" against Jose Baez:
“We did not intentionally look at this order and say we're going to disobey it. Just the mere thought of it disturbs me greatly,” said Baez.
Note that within the statement, Baez did not deny that the disobedience of the court order was deliberate, as Judge Perry has said. Using the "we" is appropriate since he is speaking for the defense team. When it goes from plural to singular, however, it should be noted.
Note that it was not "intentionally looked at" to be disobeyed, and that they, plural, did not "say", that is to speak, this outloud. This is not a denial of delilberate disobedience.
Note that he changes to singular: "the mere thought of it disturbs me greatly" as a sensitive sentence since he switches from plural to singular, uses additional language.
note that something may disturb him, but he does not say he did not do it.
Unless a subject tells us that he or she did not do it, we cannot say it.
In his denial to the court, he does not deny deliberately disobeying the court order; only that they did not speak it while looking at it.
This is why Statement Analysis does not interpret: it listens. Deceptive individuals are counting on interpretation where someone will say "this is what he meant to say" rather than "this is what he said."
Judge Perry is likely correct: Jose Baez deliberately disobeyed a court order in order to get in testimony that had not been previously recorded for deposition.
