Whatever it is, it's good enough to keep under wraps for now

We will not know what Judge Strickland looked at, because what he saw was good enough to keep it from Casey’s defense for the next 30 days, according to the good judge’s decision today. That means it will most likely be more than a month before it hits discovery, if everything unfolds as ordered.

Here is exactly what the judge decided today. Remember, this could still be a means to keep it out of the media’s hands, too.

In my article posted on February 5, Let’s shoot for the in camera ex parte motion, I explained the meaning of two suffixes attached to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, the “M” and the “K”. The “M” pertained to proceedings. The “K” is specific about the court changing times:

(k) Court May Alter Times. The court may alter the times for compliance with any discovery under these rules on good cause shown.

This is precisely what Judge Strickland decided to do. He chose to read the materials and information behind closed doors and keep it there for 30 days, if not shorter or longer, depending on the circumstances that arise henceforth. Whatever it is, we will not know until it is released due to discovery. Until then, we can guess all we want, but please remember that Dominic Casey’s D&A Investigations, Inc. Web site still says this:

Caylee Marie Anthony disappeared sometime after June 16, 2008. D&A have been Investigating the circumstances surrounding Caylee Marie’sdisappearance since July of 2008 at the request of the Family. If you have any information about Caylee Marie’s disappearance or death …

Now, you can discuss it until the cows come home to roost, but I’m not going to venture much of an opinion on it because I JUST DON”T KNOW, and as I said on my previous post on Feb. 5, this “could be something big or it may be nothing at all that merits our total abandonment of all other evidence, a la the triumphant answer to all of our questions, the one that will cause Creme de la Poison to surge through Casey’s veins.”
