An experienced Miami death penalty attorney said just knowing Anthony from a picture is not enough to keep someone off a jury unless the potential juror has an opinion about what she did and wheteher she's guilty of the crime.
Anthony's defense wants to have her trial somewhere where details about the case, like perhaps whether Caylee's body was in the trunk of Anthony's car, that may not be put into evidence are not in the juror's heads.

Baez neglected to ask the judge to seal the statements of Lt. Tammy Unser and others who were aware of Casey's anxiety attack on December 11. So, even though the jail video has not been released, the public already knows how Casey reacted.
Baez seems to have backed off his accusations that Casey's privacy rights were violated, as he tries to keep the videotape out of the public eye and possibly out of the trial.
"We need to get to the bottom of everything that occurred in the case," Baez said Tuesday

Baez said Unser may have been eavesdropping on his private conversations with her, which he said would be a violation of the attorney-client privilege.
"He told her what he thought and what had occurred. She did break down and cry in there. We could see that she was crying. He asked for tissue," Unser said.
Unser made the statements to Orange County sheriff's Deputy Phillip Graves, who will also be deposed on Tuesday.

Baez said he thinks Unser violated his client's rights.
News 13 asked Baez if he will sue the jail.
"I'm not thinking of any lawsuits or anything. If she feels she has a claim after we do our investigation, that is certainly her right to pursue," Baez said.
He expressed his frustration toward the slow release of evidence by the state. He said it needs to move along and that he still has not seen Caylee's autopsy.

Also on Monday, prosecutors released to Baez 700 more pages of evidence, including public works logs relating to Dec. 11, 2008, which is the day meter reader Roy Kronk found Caylee's remains.
The new documents have not been made public yet.
Baez said he is frustrated with the slow release of critical information from the state attorney's office and would not rule out asking the judge to do something about it.
A state attorney's spokesman said they will be meeting in the next day or two to discuss how they will react to Baez's motion to move the trial out of Orange County, which was filed on Monday.

"Everyone's going to be pretty surprised as to what actually transpired. I disagree totally with the way she was treated and I don't think it was appropriate and it's all going to come out in court at the right time," Baez said, in reference to the depositions.
More depositions are scheduled for next week. The defense wants to question two more deputies, a DCF worker and someone from Universal Studios. Those depositions are scheduled for next Monday and Wednesday.
