Inmate Anthony Exchanges Letters With Inmate Robyn Adams

Thanks for all the "Welcomes"! I usually only read....but, thought I would add my 2cents of speculation on what was so "damning" to the defense about Casey's little pen pal letters with her sorority sisters!! She has such a huge ego....it just seems she would brag about her new attorney boy-FIEND.....and maybe add a few juicy (embarrassing) details.... haha!

Taxes ~ you may have hit the nail on the head. Casey does have an inflated ego, and very well may have bragged about her big catch.

stolen documents (if that is what they claim.. and i figure that is the argument).. are admissible in court if the attorneys (state) had no hand in the theft or acquirement of said documents.

so.. if these are letters addressed to the other inmate, they upon delivery, are HER property, and she can hand them over to whomever she sees fit without penalty.

and.. as long as the prosecution had nothing to do with the guards actions in passing the notes (i.e. asking them to allow it for evidence) they should very well be in the clear.

i am not sure what could be in these letters.. KC seems so self centered .. i dont see her talking about anything BUT herself..

UNLESS.. she has a LOT of $$$ stashed away from all her and her families blood money deals, she very well could have bragged about how rich she will be when she "gets out".. just a thought.

As I understand it, the letters were in the possession of a third inmate, and she freely handed them over to the authorities.

Guard Suspended In Casey Pen Pal Investigation

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- WFTV found out the jail guard who allegedly helped Casey Anthony write an inmate pen pal in jail is now on suspension. Jail guard Silvia Hernandez is still being paid while the investigation plays out.

Hernandez was commended in one of her reviews for having a pleasant demeanor and keeping control of her dorm, which was Casey's dorm, at the female detention center, but she's now under investigation for being a little too pleasant to Casey and her two friends there.

'SECRET' LETTERS: Judge Unseals Motion | Read Motion

Accused murderer Casey Anthony wrote 50 letters, 258 pages, to inmate drug dealer Robyn Adams at the Orange County jail. Those letters, still being kept secret from the public, have added to the damning evidence against Casey in the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony.

Also, there's another problem. Both Casey and Robyn were in protective custody at the jail when the letters were exchanged, which means they were not to have any contact or communication with one another. Hernandez is now under suspension with pay while the jail investigates whether she passed the letters from Casey to Robyn, as Robyn told investigators.

Hernandez was assigned to Dorm L as soon as she was hired and worked there for about a year before being transferred. Hernandez worked for the state prison system in Lake County before going to work at the jail. She's been disciplined for absences and tardiness, and once for not reporting her use of force to break up a fight between two inmates. She has also been praised for her writing skills and documentation, but she apparently did not document that she helped Casey write letters to Robyn.

The jail investigation could take another two weeks. Casey remains in Dorm L, but Robyn is now in federal prison.

The defense has until Friday to decide whether to ask the judge to seal Casey's letters from the public. The judge has already said he's not inclined to seal them.

WFTV was told the letters hold relevant and damning information about Casey and the murder case against her.

WESH explains how guard helped inmates exchange letters

posted by halboedeker on April, 1 2010 6:34 PM

A jail guard felt sorry for Casey Anthony and another inmate at Orange County Jail and helped the two exchange letters, WESH-Channel 2 reported tonight.

Guard Silvia Hernandez befriended inmate Robyn Adams and helped Adamscommunicate with Anthony through a small vent and hide letters in a common area, WESH’s Bob Kealing said.

Hernandez reportedly received nothing from the two women, and becauseof that, the toughest punishment she faces is losing her job, Kealing added.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Adams is a drug dealer who is now in federal prison. A jail investigation into what happened with the letters continues.

Anthony wrote 50 letters to Adams. ”Sources familiar with the information say the state could find it very useful in the case against Casey Anthony,” Kealing said.

Anthony Letters Prompt Officer's Suspension
Officer Suspended With Pay

POSTED: 5:40 pm EDT March 31, 2010
UPDATED: 5:48 pm EDT April 1, 2010


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A corrections officer connected to Casey Anthony was placed on leave after being accused of passing notes between Anthony and another jail inmate.

Authorities said Anthony wrote as many as 50 letters that may have been passed on by an officer to another inmate, and in the correspondence, there may be some useful information for prosecutors.

In an interoffice memorandum to Correctional Officer Silvia Hernandez, the chief of the Orange County Corrections Department wrote, "You are to immediately surrender any county badge.

"Hernandez was placed on relief duty with with pay while an investigation is completed into whether or not she passed the notes.

One of the inmates who apparently received the notes is Robyn Adams, who was referred to by Anthony's defense team as a "jailhouse snitch." Adams faces 10 years in federal prison.

A representative for the Orange County Jail said they would not confirm why Hernandez is being disciplined and if it is tied to an ongoing investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The memorandum went on to say that Hernandez will be "transferred to day shift for record keeping and
accountability purposes effective immediately.

"WESH 2 News recently reported that the Orange County Jail had started an investigationAnthony and
another inmate.

According to court documents, 258 pages are believed to have been handwritten by Anthony. As for what is contained in the letters, few people seem to know. According to a source who has read dozens of them, Anthony writes about food and rambles on. The source said there wasn't anything about Anthony's slain daughter.

Casey Anthony: When is the deadline on her jail letters?


Posted by halboedeker on April, 2 2010 5:37 PM

What’s the deadline for Casey Anthony’s defense team to review letters she wrote to another inmate? Good question, because we have disagreement.

Judge Stan Strickland gave the defense team 15 days to examine her 50 letters before they become public.

Stations disagreed about the deadline in reports tonight.

WESH-Channel 2 Jim Payne put it this way this afternoon: “One insider tells WESH2 the 15-day deadline imposed by Judge Stan Strickland is up Sunday. There’s a hearing in the case Monday on another issue.”

WFTV-Channel 9, however, said today is the deadline. Anchor Bob Opshal said, “The clerk’s office is closed today, and as far as we can tell, Casey’s attorney’s did not file a motion to keep those letters private. Investigators say the letters are incriminating, and the judge has said he will probably release them.”

What’s the right answer on the deadline? The clerk’s office is closed, as Opsahl noted. Maybe we’ll learn Monday.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Deadline to Object to Release of Jailhouse Letters is…

Apr 3rd, 2010
by Richard Hornsby

I just saw the Orlando Sentinel TV Guy’s post about the disagreement between WESH and WTFV, I mean WFTV (sorry, Freudian slip) regarding when the deadline is for Casey Anthony’s defense team to file an objection to the State releasing Casey Anthony’s jailhouse letters and thought I would step in and clear this up before everyone gets their suspenders in a knot…

The deadline for filing an objection to Casey Anthony’s jailhouse letters is Monday at 5:00 p.m. – meaning the earliest the State could release them is Tuesday morning.

This is because all legal deadlines in criminal cases are controlled by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040.

Read the rest: http://blog.richardhornsby.com/2010/04/deadline-to-object-to-release-of-jailhouse-letters-is/

In short, according to the rules March 19 was day 1 and day 15 would have been Friday, but the last day can't fall on a legal Holiday or a weekend so Monday is considered day 15.

Just like taxes...makes sense to me

Casey Anthony jail letters to be released Tuesday

We'll get a glimpse into Casey Anthony's life in behind bars Tuesday with the expected release of letters that the accused child killer wrote to another inmate.

Orange County Investigators say a corrections officer helped Casey pass more than 250 pages of letters to Robyn Adams, the wife of a former Altamonte Springs police officer, who was in jail for helping her husband sell grow and pot

"You are going to find, if you look at them in context, a person who's locked up 23 hours a day," defense attorney Jose Baez said Monday.

Casey's defense had 15 days to fight release of the letters but chose not to.

"We have nothing to hide," Baez said.

The corrections officer who helped them communicate has been suspended with pay for breaking jail protocol.

Woo hoo! I can't wait....

im thinking that there is not going to be any major "bombshells" ( using bozo's new favorite word) in these letters.

i think the damning part will be her complete and total lack of grief for her daughter.. i am SURE the letters are all about cheetos, tortilla shells, and the new guards tight pants...

that girl is SUCH a waste of oxygen.

I'm just nosey wanting to see what the baby killer writes to another inmate........I highly doubt she'll express any concern in regards to her dead child. I would bet in the 250 pages Caylee's name is not even mentioned.

I agree with you Piper, she probably didn't mention Caylee one time in any of those 258 pages. I'm sure it was all about me me me me.

Casey Anthony: Casey Anthony bashes parents in jailhouse letters, WESH says

Posted by halboedeker on April, 6 2010 12:43 PM

Can Casey Anthony spell?

We should know soon when her jailhouse letters are released this afternoon. WESH-Channel 2, WKMG-Channel 6 and WFTV-Channel 9 previewed the release on noon newscasts.

“We know what’s not going to be in them: a confession,” WKMG’s Tony Pipitone said.

Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

“It will be the first extensive look into her thoughts since she was arrested in October 2008 on the murder charge and put into protective custody at the Orange County Jail,” Pipitone said.


On WESH, Eryka Washington said, “This is the first time we’re getting a glimpse of Casey’s life behind bars.”

Washington added that defense attorney Jose Baez did not object to the letters’ release because he says there’s nothing incriminating on them. “However, we are told Casey spends a lot of time bashing her parents, George and Cindy Anthony,” Washington said.

WFTV anchor Greg Warmoth said of the letters, “Investigators told Eyewitness News they do contain damaging evidence against her … but Casey’s defense team says they are not afraid of what’s in those letters.”

Defense attorney Jose Baez told Pipitone, “You’re going to find if you look at them … they’re of a person who’s locked up 23 hours a day. We have nothing to hide with those letters.”

WFTV showed footage of Baez saying, “If moved to keep them private, you guys are going to speculate all over the place about what’s in there.”

In her jail correspondence, Casey Anthony talked to drug dealer Robyn Adams, who is now in federal prison.

Earlier reports said that Anthony talks about food and what she’ll do when released.

WESH also reported that Anthony’s defense team is headed to Washington today to depose FBI analysts.
