source is clearly confused - florida state attorney's office is not the copyright holder, so it cannot release this image into the public domain. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:37, 17 July 2011 (UTC)maybe Casey Anthony gave the Florida states attorneys office permission to use it...
Delete Okay, I know the source says "Photo Released to Public Domain by Florida State Attorney's Office", but why do we think a state agency has any right to do that? This photo was fairly obviousily not taken by an employee of the Florida government. Note the source -- written by random people -- would never qualify as a reliable source if used to support article content on Wikipedia. Yeah, the State Attorney may well have used it, but under what authority did they make it PD, rather than just distributed? Courcelles (talk) 17:38, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- support deletion - no evidence of permission. Clearly they did not take the photograph so without evidence that they are the owners of the copyright there is no evidence of permission for this claim of PDomain release. Off2riorob (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- It was likely seized during the investigation, which would, if the image did indeed originate from Florida's Attorney's office, make it PD of the office chose to release it to the general public, as all materials seized during a criminal investigation become state property, with some exceptions. Legally, the answer is we can Keep this one. Ronk01 (talk) 23:06, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- Have you got a diff that asserts "all materials seized during a criminal investigation become state property" - In the UK they seize things but materials unrelated to evidence - which this picture doesn't appear to be, are returned to the owner of said property.

- And even "we took the hardcopy of this photo" would be a lot different than taking the copyright of it. Courcelles (talk) 02:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

- Oppose By nom's own admission, the Florida's State's Attorney's Office has released it the image to the public domain. The nominator appears to be engaging in original research in suggesting that the State of Florida doen't have the legal authority to release an image to the public domain.

- Comment It seems like a fair use case could be made for including it in the w:Death of Caylee Anthony article: it's low resolution, not replaceable (the child is deceased) and of historic import to that article. That would mean moving it to en.wikipedia, as fair use is not a valid justification on commons, but I think that would be acceptable to those who wish to include it in said article.--agr (talk) 01:50, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose The State created it, (CSI probably took it) the State can release it for public domain. Mugginsx (talk) 16:29, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- How exactly can a CSI have taken this... before Caylee's death? :S --ErrantX (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
- Delete we assume images taken by state officials are PD, however this is very clearly not taken by an official and so we cannot make that assumption. We only have Examiner.com's assertion to back this up... in lieu of a clear declaration from the Attorney's office clarifying that the image has either been released PD or the copyright/rights transferred to the Attorney's office by the original author. --ErrantX (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
