Casey Anthony's defense team wants all the records from the volunteer search group

<snipped> According to court documents filed today, the defense says the organization's argument that releasing all its information, including the volunteers' cell phones and other identifying details, to the defense could have a "chilling" effect on volunteers in future searches.
The defense argued that last year Texas EquuSearch's attorney, Mark NeJame, invited a local television station to view some of the records — which makes the chilling effect argument moot.

<snipped> While talking, NeJame showed Texas EquuSearch documents and notes taken by volunteers showing who searched where and what they found and didn't find. The documents also list team leaders and cell phone numbers of volunteers.
Anthony’s defense is saying if the media can have the documents, they should be able to have it too.
"The disclosure by Mr. NeJame of these records, including volunteer names and phone numbers, seriously undercuts the argument made by TES against giving them to Miss Anthony," the motion states.
But the defense already has the documents. NeJame said his office personally delivered those documents to the defense last year.
The initial Texas EquuSearch motion was filed in November. The judge hasn't set a court date for it to be decided. *More At Link!
