CASEY ANTHONY MOST HATED PERSON IN USA: POLL




WANNA HAVE SEX?
SELFISH PARTY MOM Casey Anthony was amazingly unbelievably acquitted of murdering her toddler Caylee is the most hated person in America, according to a new poll. The 25-year-old promiscuous felon is now in hiding after being sprung from jail in July. In fact, an Anthony look-a-like was recently attacked in her hometown of Orlando. Reuters reported that the poll, by E-Poll Market Research, found 53% of those questioned knew of Anthony, and 94% disliked her. That put her ahead of reality TV star Spencer Pratt; Nadya Suleman, known as the “Octomom”; O.J. Simpson, who ranked fourth, and Jon Gosselin. Also on the list were: Levi Johnston, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss and Howard Stern.
Party Mom was deemed “creepy” by 57% and “cold” by 60%.

BANK ROBBER LEE GRACE DOUGHERTY'S DIRTY PIX!

Lee Grace Dougherty is one-third of a trio of siblings on a psychotic cross-country death wish robbery spree. Lee Gracie (Gracie), 29, and brothers Ryan Dougherty, 21, and Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, robbed a bank in Georgia then got in a shootout with cops in Florida. Recent reports suggest they could be in Colorado. Even their mom has pleaded with them to surrender. But on a positive note, Gracie is apparently a former stripper and has a whack of saucy pix on flickr: DOUGHERTY SIBLINGS IN COLORADO?

CASEY ANTHONY 'MUST' RETURN TO ORLANDO: JUDGE


CASEY Anthony's time in hiding is over, after a judge ordered her back to Orlando to serve a year of probation for her check fraud conviction.
The one time party mom has been in hiding, since she was sensationally found not guilty of the murder of her young toddler, but now she will have to return to her home state.
Back in January 2010, she admitted to stealing her friend a checkbook from her friend Amy Huizenga - who later testified against her at her murder trial - and writing herself five checks
totaling $644.25. At the time of her sentencing she told the court: "I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sorry for what I did. I take complete and full responsibility for my actions, and I'd like to apologize to Amy. I wish I'd been a better friend." 
At the time, it was assumed that she would serve the probation while she was being held on murder charges.
But now it appears that Judge Strickland has changed his mind and he's ordered her back to serve the time.     
Cheney Mason, one of Anthony's defense attorneys, said his client's legal team is working to "set aside and vacate the order."
He added the order claims Baez and Anthony were present Monday for a hearing -- something Mason said "did not happen."
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said they would move on Anthony if she failed to show.
She said: "We're prepared to move forward with the court order. If she doesn't report, she'll be in violation of her probation, unless something legally happens and we're told to hold off."

NATALIE BELMONTE FOUND MURDERED; SON CHARGED

A SUCCESSFUL Florida real estate agent who vanished over the weekend has been found murdered and her son charged in the sickening crime. Pembroke Pines realtor Natalie Belmonte, 43, was found dead in a marsh near her home yesterday with "visible signs of trauma." Now, her adopted son Gerard Belmonte Lopes, 21, has been charged.
According to the Miami Herald, even after Lopes admitted to stealing thousands of dollars in jewelry from her, his mom begged a judge to give the boy a second chance. Belmonte adopted Gerard, her cousin, after the boy’s father died when he was just 9. She also has a daughter, 20, and son, 17.
Three years ago, she accused Gerard of stealing $20,000 in jewels and selling it to a pawn shop. he admitted the theft but was only arrested in June. Natalie had
changed her mind about pressing charges.

Bad decision, apparently. Telling the judge "that her son had gotten his life together in the last three years, she did not want to press charges." And now, the bubbly, stunning brunette is dead. MORE IN THE MIAMI HERALD

WHERE'S CASEY ANTHONY: PARTY MOM IN CALIFORNIA?

WHERE'S CASEY ANTHONY? That is the question on America's lips this morning as there has been sightings of the acquitted child killer in Orlando, California and Arizona. None have been confirmed.
Anthony was found not guilty two weeks ago of murdering her daughter Caylee, 2, in 2008. The verdict triggered an outcry around the world that the pretty brunette party girl had gotten away with murder.
Soon, there were death threats and it's believed she will need to change her appearance to survive. But the $64 million question is where is she now and where will she live?
According to the New York Daily News, it's believed that when Anthony left jail in Florida early Sunday,
she got on a private jet that flew from the Sunshine State to Arizona then on to Newport Beach, California. The plane changed it's flight plan twice.
The jet belongs to former Anthony lawyer Todd Macaluso who gave the promiscuous party mom $70,000 before she was found not guilty. The plane may also be part of an attempt by her reps to lay a false trail and throw the media off. And Anthony could still be on the move: the plane flew from California to Baton Rouge and then onto St. George Island in northern Florida.
Macaluso said: "I can't comment on where she is for security reasons, but she's in very good hands. We managed to get her out and managed to confuse the entire media network of the United States."
But for how long? MORE IN THE NY DAILY NEWS

COPS FEAR MISSING NATALIE BELMONTE MURDERED

FLORIDA detectives say video shows someone carrying a large object out of missing real estate agent Natalie Belmonte's house. Cops suspect the pretty brunette mother of three grown children was murdered.

investigators said. The police would not say what they found. They are also seeking info on a maroon Lexus ES 350 sedan spotted in the area early Sunday.

Police said of the one adopted son, who lived with the beauty: "He has been cooperative. He is also the last person to see her, so we are interested in speaking with him some more."
Neighbor Al Quintana said: "Natalie was very bubbly and very outgoing. She made friends easily and was the type of person who would always say hello." Belmonte is 5-foot-4, 135 lbs., with brown eyes and straight brown hair. Belmonte was wearing a strapless brown dress Sunday.

TYLER HADLEY MURDERED PARENTS THEN PARTIED

TYLER HADLEY just wanted to party. And P.A.R.T.Y. he did with 40-60 pals. None of them knew that hours earlier Tyler had bashed his mother and father's brains in with a hammer and then hid the bodies in one of the bedrooms of their Port St. Lucie home. The bash--started after Tyler sent out a huge invite via Facebook--went on until early Sunday while Mary Jo and Blake Hadley lie dead.


But in a heavy case of Sunday Mornin' Comin Down Tyler awoke with a colossal hangover and a problem on his hands: how to ditch mom and dad's corpses. When they were discovered, there were books and towels on top in an attempt to hide them. Police attended the house on a welfare check after an anonymous tipster hinted things may be awry. Motive? They wouldn't let him have a party.
The cops said: "It was a merciless killing."
Hadley is being held without bail on two counts of first degree murder.

PYTHON PARENTS GUILTY IN SNAKE DEATH OF DAUGHTER

A FLORIDA couple have been found guilty of manslaughter in the grisly death of the woman's daughter--strangled in her crib by a pet python in 2009. Stupid idea, right? We thought so. The jury in Sumter County found Jaren Hare, 21, and Charles "Dummy" Darnell, 34, guilty of manslaughter, 3rd degree murder and child neglect. Both Jaren and "Dummy" rejected plea deals that would see them out in a 10 spot--now they face 35 big ones in the crowbar hotel. Hare sobbed as the verdict was read.


Court was told that Dummy's 8-foot, 6-inch albino Burmese python wrapped itself around the head of Jaren's daughter, Shaianna, on July 1, 2009. Cops busted the couple within hours of the child's death.
Oh, and the snake had not been fed for a month before the tragic attack. They'll be sentenced August 24.

CASEY ANTHONY VERDICT MADE JURORS "SICK"

PHOTO: Jennifer Ford is a 32 year old nursing student.A JUROR on the Casey Anthony murder trial says she and the 11 others "cried and were sick to our stomachs" after acquitting the notorious Party Mom in the slaying of her daughter Caylee in 2008.
The stunning verdict has left America reeling in the biggest courtroom shock since O.J. Simpson skated on murdering his wife and her young boyfriend.
Jennifer Ford, juror number 3, told ABC News: "I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be."

The shocking not guilty verdict stunned court watchers and no one from the jury was willing to speak to the media after the verdict.
Ford added: "Everyone wonders why we didn't speak to the media right away. It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict. We were crying and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial."
Anthony, 25, was instead found guilty of four counts of lying to law enforcement. Of course, there were too many fibs to sift through for the jury, apparently. She could be sprung from jail as early as today.  The case will likely be analyzed for years to come. Did the prosecution blow it? Was the CSI factor in effect in the jury room?

MYSTERY DELAY IN CASEY ANTHONY MURDER TRIAL


SATURDAY'S Casey Anthony Show was over almost as soon as it began. Judge Belvin Perry said after meeting lawyers that the day's testimony would be scratched.
Legal analyst Linda Kenney Baden said: "Obviously it's big, and obviously it's troublesome and obviously it's something that can't be disclosed." Relations between the defence and prosecution have been less than collegial with the D throwing out some fairly wild theories. Meanwhile, the prosecution has been criticized for overtrying the case (smell expert, anyone?) Party Mom Casey Anthony, of course, as even
Buddhist monks in Nepal are aware of, is the glib Florida floozy charged with murdering her 2-yer-old daughter Caylee in 2008. Cops believe the cute child was knocked out with chloroform, her mouth and nose duct-taped and then her body dumped in the woods. What did mom do? Partied! Best body contests, faux lesbian lick-a-thons at Orlando nightclubs. Non-existent nannies and sugar daddies.
The defense says Caylee drowned, and Caey and her dad George tried to cover it up. Mom and dad seem to think she's guilty but should get the death penalty. Being the betting kind, our money is a needle to Neverland for old Casey. CNN HAS MORE

CASEY ANTHONY'S PARENTS: 'WE THINK SHE'S GUILTY'

WHEN YOU lost mom and dad, you now you're in big trouble. In a shocking interview with CNN, the lawyer for the parents of Party Mom Casey Anthony said they think she's guilty but DO NOT want to see the swinging floozie get the death penalty for the sickening crime that has riveted the world.
Mark Lippman said of George and Cindy Anthony: "But this is important and they wanted me to stress this. They love her, they support her and they do not want her to get the death penalty and they will do all they can to avoid her getting the death penalty in this case."
Ah, but they may not have a say. Anthony, 25, is now on trial in Florida for first-degree murder in the brutal 2008 slaying of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. If she is convicted, in all likelihood she will be frog marched to death row. Testimony is expected to continue today.


Her team continued calling witnesses yesterday on chemical testing etc., along with other scientific stuff that you can read about on CNN.
In their uphill battle to keep Anthony from receiving a ride on the needle (destination: Abyss) they have argued that Caylee drowned and that the Party Mom and her father panicked and hid body. According to George Anthony, that's just not so.

FLA. COPS SOLVE 1971 GINA JUSTI COLD CASE MURDER

FOR NEARLY 40 years, the Justi family has desperately wondered who killed Gina Justi. Just 14-years-old when she was raped and murdered in August 1971 and left to die in an orange grove, the family now has some answers. Florida cops announced yesterday that they got a DNA hit on a man named Jerry Fletcher, now 69, who is serving a life sentence for killing another teenage girl in Illinois in 1974.
Fletcher had worked as a painter in the Tampa area at the time of the vicious slaying but his name never came up until the DNA match. When detectives interviewed him, he quickly clued into why they were there
and clammed up.

James Justi was only 12 when his sister was murdered. He said the Gina was never far from their minds but they had long given up hope that there would be an arrest.
He said: "It kind of came out of the blue. We were totally, totally shocked. We totally gave up on it."
His brother Tony told the Tampa Tribune that Gina was a typical teen and that her family just had moved to Town 'N Country from Saugerties, NY, when she left her home on Aug. 6, 1971.
She had gone out that day to look at a puppy.

PARTY MOM CASEY ANTHONY CLOSER TO DEATH ROW

GRIM. That's the only way to describe Week 3 of Casey Anthony's first-degree murder trial. Anthony, 25, is charged with murdering her her toddler daughter Caylee in 2008. This week, the prosecution paraded a veritable marching band of expert witnesses that seemed to inch the Party Mom ever closer to death row. Gruesome videos, bugs, what animals did to Caylee... it was all there.
The Chicago Tribune has a day-by-day roundup of the week's doings in a Florida courtroom:
MONDAY: Dr. Arpad Vass, a top scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, testified about human-decomposition-odor analysis and how the concept was applied to samples from Casey Anthony's car. Defense attorney Jose Baez questioned Vass about a possible financial incentive for getting the science of odor analysis accepted in the courts. Vass said he could see 15 percent royalties if a device he helped design is sold and marketed to law enforcement.
TUESDAY: Orange County Deputy Jason Forgey explained how police dogs are trained to detect human decomposition and what happened when his K-9, Gerus, got involved in the Casey Anthony case and alerted authorities to a possible site of decomposition. Dr. Michael Rickenbach, a forensic chemist examiner with the FBI, told jurors that he was surprised that residue of chloroform was detected on fabric from a spare tire cover taken from the trunk of Casey Anthony's car because the chemical usually dissipates quickly.

COPS TO CASEY ANTHONY: 'EVERYTHING...IS A LIE'

YESTERDAY'S episode of Party Mom goes to trial featured video of Casey Anthony by turns sobbing, giggling and generally acting like the immature woman-child America has come to know.
In the jailhouse video recorded on July 25, 2008, Anthony, 25, tells her brother her main focus is finding her missing daughter Caylee, 2.
She said sobbing: "If you can speak to the media directly, my concern for me is Caylee, No one has said for me that I love my daughter, that I want her safety and that she and the rest of my family is my only concern. All I want is to see her again, to hear
her laugh, to see her smile and to just be with our family. Nothing else matters to me at this point."

The Orlando, Florida party mom is on trial for first-degree murder and other charges involving the death of Caylee. If convicted she would be a primo candidate for execution. She claims she's innocent and her lawyers say little Caylee drowned in her grandparents' pool.
* The court also heard a tape of a police interview where Casey admits misleading them and insists that Caylee was kidnapped by the nanny named "Zanny." There is no record of such a woman.
"None of us are sitting here believing what you're saying because everything that's coming out of your mouth is a lie," Detective Yuri Melich said during the interview. Sgt. John Allen adds: "If the main thing you want to do is find your daughter, and you don't think lying to us is going to help find her, why would you do that?"
Indeed.

MOM SLAMMED CASEY ANTHONY AS 'UNFIT MOTHER'

CASEY ANTHONY is coming across as a real charmer. A real shit. On Tuesday, a pal of the party mom testified Anthony was bitter because her mom wasn't ready to drop everything and babysit. Amy Huizenga told a Florida court that her onetime friend had a strained relationship with her parents
Anthony is on trial for first-degree murder for the savage death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008.
She told the court: "It was hard. Her mom was continually agitated with her. I remember she told me her mom had told her she was an unfit
mother. She was extremely upset about that."
The party mom was also pissed that she had to cancel her plans "fairly frequently" because there was no one to babysit her little girl. As the spring of 2008 wore on, Anthony was becoming ever more bitter and by late June, Caylee was had disappeared from the scene.

Earlier in the day, jurors listened to a jailhouse phone call from Anthony where the party mom is spewing self-pity. She sobs, "no one is listening to me", I don't know anything ... IT WAS THE NANNY!
Anthony snarls to her friend Kristina Chester: ""I got arrested on a f---ing whim today because they're blaming me for stuff that I would never do, that I didn't do. They're twisting stuff. They've already said they're going to pin this on me if they don't find Caylee. They've already said that."
Chester tries calming her: "Casey, your daughter, your flesh and blood, your baby." Anthony snaps: "Put my brother back on the phone. I don't want to get into this with you. ... I haven't slept in four days."
Hello, death penalty...
