Colorado Springs Slaying Suspect Hires Casey Anthony Defense Attorney

... Kong. Woo was extradited from Seattle in June. Woo and Tureson were together for three years before they broke up in early April, court records said. People who knew the couple told authorities that Woo paid Tureson thousands of dollars a month to be his companion. El Paso County sheriff's spokeswoman Jacqueline Kirby previously said Woo is known to frequent Tinder, a popular dating app, and issued a call for women who might have interacted with him. Woo was previously represented by court-appointed attorneys from the Colorado Springs Public Defender's Office, but he fired them after persistent reports of attorney-client conflict. How he qualified for free legal assistance before hiring an out-of-state attorney with brand-name recognition isn't clear.

Macaluso and the other two were arrested by Haitian authorities on Nov. 14, the same day as that meeting, the complaint says. They have since been flown to New York, where a U.

Belvin Perry Reflects On Policy, Family History, And The Casey Anthony Verdict

... Yes. Because there were thousands of things that you needed to do behind the scenes to make sure that large case ran smoothly”. Perry has reflected on the case and it’s controversial verdict. He believes the defense was successful in keeping the case simple, while the state assumed the jury knew things they might not have fully understood. Perry also believes the use of chloroform was not fully explored and many facts presented involving the body of two year old Caylee didn’t logically add up. “Did I think she intentionally killed the kid? No.” he continues “The most logical thing based upon the facts was that chloroform was somewhere involved in it. I think she was angry with her mom, as a result of something that happened the night before and that she wanted the child to be quiet. She wanted to knock her out. She gave her too much and she died and she didn’t ...
