The latest filing in the Casey Anthony murder case on Thursday was the boldest to date.
Anthony's defense team is asking Circuit Judge Stan Strickland to dismiss the case.
And just in case Strickland isn't inclined to get rid of the case in which Anthony is charged with first-degree murder, defense attorneys also filed an amended motion about a change of venue. The defense suggests Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach counties as possible places for the murder trial, which is unscheduled but could come to court sometime in 2010.
Also filed on Thursday were motions related to the Orange County Jail. The defense wants a protective order prohibiting the jail from videotaping attorney visits with Anthony at the jail.
What happens if she loses her temper with her mother and tells her mother what happened?
And it wants the jail to destroy videos of Anthony and her family.
LOL, need to rehab KC's image. She looked so bad on those tapes!
* The Case Against Casey
The motion filed Thursday afternoon seeks dismissal of all charges because evidence was not properly preserved. Pretty standard, not unexpected.
According to the motion, "the state deliberately misled the court and delayed formal identification of remains so it could obtain exclusive control of the crime scene through Dec. 19, 2008" the date the medical examiner announced the remains belonged to the little girl.
JB is still pouting because he wasn't allowed on the crime scene before Caylee was identified or before KC was charged with murder. What was the state supposed to do, get a picture of Caylee to compare to the skeletal remains?
The skeletal remains was discovered Dec. 11, 2008 by a meter reader.
Defense lawyers said exculpatory evidence was not preserved and that violate Casey Anthony's rights. Exculpatory evidence supports a defendant's claim of innocence.
If the defense has proof this happened, they should be turning that into the court. The state has asked for the evidence of KC's innocence to be submitted to the court, where is it?
Anthony's lawyers contend the state erred by tampering with the victim's remains and excavation location before the defense could bring in it's own experts.
JB still pouting because he wasn't allowed to play there before charges were filed or the baby was actually identified.
Her lawyers wanted to hire off-duty police officer to secure the area, but the state attorney's office wouldn't permit it.
Didn't LE stay on the scene and begin working to obtain the remains immediately after a body was determined to be there?? Why would they need an "off duty police officer? This may be a hint that they are going to argue that the remains were found earlier, and were left there for some reason, until Kronk went back to the site.
The motion says the only evidence suggesting a homicide are conflicting reports of where the remains were found and without evidence the defense cannot challenge the opinions the state is bringing to court.
What??? What does this one mean?
They contend Casey Anthony's rights were denied because lawyers can't effectively confront and cross examine witnesses.
Who is it they aren't getting to confront? Anyone they haven't talked to already they will confront in court. Who else is left to witness, Caylee? Maybe KC can tell the court what Caylee saw.
Another motion asks the court to block recordings of Casey Anthony when her lawyers are present and when she receives visits from her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.
LOL, itsn't that cute. The defense doesn't want any problems with KC's image. She didn't look good on camera when she visited with her parents. So that had to stop. Now that the A's are pushing to visit, they don't want KC to look bad. Besides, if she can't control her temper, who knows what she might say?
