Here is a video of this morning's hearing to determine whether Casey Anthony is indigent. Judge Strickland is waiting for an itemized breakdown of how the defense spent $275,000 before he makes a ruling.

All this talk about the A's has caused kh to pause and think........

CINDY~ HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.......

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach...... Well, maybe not that much, but I admit it! I love Cindy! I love what she says! I love what she does! I love the way she looks! I love her insults! I love her lies! I love the way she struts! I love the way she swings a hammer! I love Cindy as unconditionally as Elizabeth Barrett Browning cherished her secret lovah!

Here is an example:

"Oh, we're getting -- we get threats every day. We get written threats. We get threats on our home phone. We get threats on our cell phones. We get threats on our e-mail. So the threats are out there."--Cindy Anthony, 8/11/2008

"The sheriff's department (and) the FBI are looking into this," George Anthony said. "Whenever you start threatening people with bodily harm, that's a problem." The Anthony family said they have received threats every day by letter, e-mail or phone. --George Anthony, 8/13/2008

"I haven't been getting any threats! Again, Who said that? Did I come out and say that? Alright. What did I tell you guys weeks ago? If it doesn't come from the Sheriff's department or from my mouth, or my son's mouth, or my husband's mouth, should you believe it? Have I lied to any of you guys yet? Okay." --Cindy Anthony, Video, 8/29/2008

Database can crack missing person cases - if used
http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2010100307043

A new online database promises to crack some of the nation's 100,000 missing persons cases and provide answers to desperate families, but only a fraction of law enforcement agencies are using it.

The clearinghouse, dubbed NamUs (Name Us), offers a quick way to check whether a missing loved one might be among the 40,000 sets of unidentified remains that languish at any given time with medical examiners across the country. NamUs is free, yet many law enforcement agencies still aren't aware of it, and others aren't convinced they should use their limited staff resources to participate.

Janice Smolinski hopes that changes — and soon. Her son, William "Billy" Smolinski Jr., was 31 when he vanished five years ago. The Cheshire, Conn., woman fears he was murdered, his body hidden away.

She's now championing a bill in Congress, named "Billy's Law" after her son, that would set aside more funding and make other changes to encourage wider use of NamUs. Only about 1,100 of the nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide are registered to use the system, even though it already has been hailed for solving 16 cases since it became fully operational last year.

"As these cases become more well known, as people learn about the successes of NamUs, more and more agencies are going to want to be part of it," said Kristina Rose, acting director of the National Institute of Justic...

Too many children have died at the hands of their mother's boyfriends, many of whom had a violent past that the mothers were fully aware of. It looks like Jozlynn Mari Martinez is the latest victim. Aveion Lewis, Robert Manwill and many others have suffered the same fate. Mark Bookal disappeared under his mom's boyfriend's watch and still hasn't been found, and Aja Johnson was abducted by her mother's boyfriend Lester Hobbs after most likely witnessing Hobbs murder her mother.

Thirty-five percent of child abuse deaths in Hamilton County, Ohio were at the hands of their mother's boyfriend and I'm sure that the statistics are similar in most places. Please choose your partner wisely if you are a single mother and don't allow your child to become another statistic.

I would like to thank Piper for sharing the following video with us. Please share this with all the single mothers you know.

Harrell phone calls to mom from jail (Includes transcripts below)
Feb. 24, 2010


Action News has exclusive phone conversations between Jarred Harrell and his mother, while Harrell was in jail in Mississippi.

They're the first words we've heard from Jarred Harrell. There are two phone calls. In the first one, Harrell's mother says, "Hey Honey. How are you doing?" Harrell responds, "Holding in there I guess."

The conversation sounds like it happened just after he was arrested in Mississippi. Harrell was charged with having child porn in Clay County and now he's a person of interest in the murder of Somer Thompson.

During the phone conversation, Harrell is very quiet and sounds upset. He says, "I literally think the stress is killing me." His mother responds, "Trust me, we've, you, would not believe everything here. We're right in there with you." Harrell apoligized to his mother and she responded saying, "No no, it's not, no. It's not all you. Trust me. It's going to get a lot uglier for them before it's over with trust me."

His mother asks him ...
