Casey Anthony Documents--interesting finds
These are a few things I found going through the hundreds of pages of documents and photo's released on February 18, 2009. I haven't heard the talking heads bring up these particular items:

"Also on August 14th, Cynthia and George Anthony visited Casey at the Orange County Branch Jail. Visitation was done by video and this visitation was not only recorded, but monitored by myself live. In this visit, Casey became frustrated with her family. She was frustrated with Lee because it felt like he was interrogating her and she was frustrated with Cynthia because she would dominate the conversation. While speaking to George, George mentioned to her that she could write a letter to the Orange County Sheriff's Office and ask to speak to someone. She had made earlier indications to her parents in a previous visit, but had never officially asked to speak with anyone in law enforcement since.

"Later that day I received word from the Orange County Jail that Casey Anthony had written a note addressed to Sheriff Beary. This note was given to Corrections Officer Marlene Baker, then to Sergeant Dennis Moonsammy, then to Lieutenant Melanie Monroe who in turn gave it to me. The note was stapled shut. I brought this note back to the Sheriff's Office where it was opened in the presence of Sergeant John Allen. The note said in part 'is there any way that I can have a meeting set up with my father George Anthony. I would in every way appreciate it. I know it is an unusual request, but it is important nonetheless.'"

"Sergeant Allen and I began making arrangements with the Orange County Jail to see of they could accommodate this request. They said they would. We, alone with Special Agent Scott Boling of the FBI arranged to have George Anthony meet us somewhere and we picked him up to bring him to the jail. Our conversation in the car was surreptitiously recorded where we confirmed with him that this meeting was not the idea of law enforcement, that we were not asking him to ask any specific questions, and in short he was not acting as an agent of the state. He agreed with this. George also said he hoped this opportunity would help bring "closure" and some answers."

"We arrived at the Jail at around 19:30 hrs. We learned that attorney Adam Gabriel was visiting Casey. Adam Gabriel spoke with Sergeant Allen who impressed upon him that we were here at Casey's request, and if she wished to speak to George, we would facilitate that. Furthermore, Sergeant Allen told him that if Casey's intent was to have Adam sit in with them, we would not keep Adam from doing so. Ultimately, it was Casey's decision whether or not she wished to see her father on whatever terms she saw fit. After waiting for approximately 1 1/2 hours, Casey decided not to speak with her father and George was taken home. Statements were later obtained from the correctional officers who handled the letter and the original was submitted into evidence."

In summary:
George/Casey private meeting—Aug 14. After the Aug 14 video meeting (on the same day) where she was rude to her parents, she sends note to Sheriff to see dad George. It is arranged, sheriff drives George to the jail at 7:30pm. Casey was with attorney Adam Gabriel, left George waiting 1 ½ hrs, then sent word that she didn’t want to see him, sent him away. (After all that crap about who she picked for a personal meeting, yadda, yadda. It was all bs. She hadn't spoken to anyone about it until that day after the meeting where she threw the tantrum.)
