Zahra Baker, a murdered child

[Lady Cop]

12/17
elisa baker in court today on bad checks, continued to april 22.
i believe this was done in anticipation of bigger charges coming in death of Zahra.
although in casey anthony case, they went ahead and convicted her on felony theft. so when she goes to trial for murder she has to appear as a convicted felon.
if baker took the stand in bad checks (not likely) she could be open to all kinds of questions, her lawyers probably asked for continuance.
oh well, who gives a damn as long as she stays in jail.
i am second-guessing the players here, don't really know what the strategy may be.


edit later to add:
“Yesterday, we turned over a preliminary case file to the District Attorney’s Office for him to start reviewing and consider what course of action he wants to take concerning who he wants to charge and what charges he wants to pursue,” said Chief Tom Adkins of the Hickory Police Department.
