Black said the defense has made "numerous attempts to preserve the evidence" near where the child's remains were found, but police and prosecutors have been uncooperative.
"This has become a malicious, nasty case," Black said on Thursday. "Even in the worst cases, like O.J. Simpson, I've never seen an investigation tell a defense team to go to hell."
Though he admitted police haven't actually uttered those words, he said "their conduct tells you that," because they haven't kept the defense team informed and won't let them observe their work at the crime scene.
"Some of their comments are blatant lies," Black said. "History has shown that in some cases authorities have been caught tampering with evidence. That is something we hope is not happening. We're not accusing anyone of anything."
Among the lies he is accusing the sheriff's office of telling are statements about clothing found with the child's remains and the implication that the area where they were discovered hadn't been searched before.
Black said EquuSearch volunteers were the only ones who hadn't previously scoured the wooded lot.
"When [police] started searching for that child, they went into that area several times with dogs, with people. Not once, but several times," Black said. "It's kind of suspicious."
He suggested the bones might have been dumped there by the person Anthony says took her daughter.
"It seems like somebody may have been waiting ... somebody may have thought, they're done with that area, so let's dump it," Black said. "If that occurred, Miss Anthony was locked up all that time."
The defense is backing Anthony's claim that her daughter was kidnapped by a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez, a name police say is made up.
